The problem DeGen solves

Mobile Money and web2 banking are mostly used everywhere, but here lies the case where most users are victims of scams(false transaction of received amount, account draining, stolen account information). This becomes hard as uses cant tell a fake transaction from a real one making it hard to protect themselves. At the same time, jumping into Web3 is complex, fragmented, and intimidating for the average user. There’s no smooth path from mobile banking to DeFi yield.

DeGen is a platform that bridges traditional mobile banking with decentralized finance (DeFi). It uses real-time transaction analysis, fraud detection, and Web3 integrations to help users understand, protect, and grow their money.

Users can convert their mobile banking or mobile money assets directly within the platform through our integration with Bybit, allowing them to seamlessly purchase USDT without leaving the app.

Once they’ve acquired USDT, users can:

Participate in cross-chain lending and token swaps, accessing liquidity and earning yield across multiple blockchains
Join Conditional Voting, where users vote on shared investment strategies and earn more yield (or take collective risk) depending on success
Play in a fully on-chain Blackjack game, competing head-to-head with other users using USDT, with the winner taking the full pot
DeGen makes it easy to go from Web2 to Web3 without needing multiple apps or complex steps. It brings DeFi, gaming, and governance directly to users inside a secure, familiar, mobile-first environment.

Challenges we ran into

We actually joined the hackathon late, due to that we had less time to implement our whole goal for DeGen.

CDP verification was a challenge. All documents I submitted were being rejected.
Configuring Agentkit also was a bit of challenge. The docs weren’t to straightforward and you had to read more code from their GitHub to figure some things out. Mostly these are basic challenges nothing major really. At the end of the day we were able to figure it out so that was great.
