The problem Daro solves

Daro revolutionizes social media by integrating NFT technology into its platform, offering users the ability to claim ownership of their content through the issuance of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This innovative approach tackles several critical issues prevalent in traditional social media platforms.

Firstly, Daro addresses the lack of content ownership on mainstream social media platforms. Users often invest time and effort into creating original content, only to find it copied, plagiarized, or used without consent. By minting each post as an NFT on Daro, creators establish indisputable ownership, securing their intellectual property rights and enabling them to monetize their creations through tokenization.

Secondly, Daro enhances transparency and authenticity within the social media landscape. The immutable nature of blockchain technology ensures that each post's ownership history is verifiable and tamper-proof. Users can trust the origin and provenance of content, fostering a more trustworthy and reliable online community.

Moreover, Daro promotes fair compensation for content creators. Through NFTs, users can buy, sell, or license their digital assets directly on the platform, without intermediaries or restrictive algorithms. This decentralization empowers creators to establish their own value propositions and monetization strategies, fostering a more equitable and sustainable content ecosystem.

Additionally, by incentivizing engagement and participation through NFT ownership, Daro cultivates a vibrant and supportive community. Users are encouraged to interact with content knowing that their contributions directly support the creators they admire, fostering meaningful connections and collaborations.

Challenges we ran into

As a team, we recognized early on that bridging the gap between the traditional social media user experience and the inherently complex nature of blockchain technology was crucial for the success of our decentralized application (dApp). We understood that to attract and retain users familiar with the speed and ease of use of platforms like Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, we needed to streamline the blockchain aspects that could potentially create friction. Here's how we tackled these challenges:

1. Simplifying Wallet Interactions
2. Streamlining Transaction Confirmations
3. Slower Transactions
4. Addressing Gas Fees
