The problem Dola.gg solves

"Earning is how we onboard the next billion users to crypto," says Balaji Srinivasan, who has been very vocal about this concept. Web3 applications, including DeFi, NFTs, and Dexes, have gained popularity partly because they offer some form of earning mechanism.

In our product, we're starting with messaging. Users can message experts and only pay if they receive a reply. This setup offers dual benefits: experts earn money by replying and engage in quality conversations due to the reduced likelihood of spam, as messages have a cost attached. Additionally, users have a better chance of receiving replies from the experts they seek advice from.

It allows us to do several things, the possibilities are unlimited:

1. We intend to introduce lists that could serve various purposes, like getting paid for feedback at events like ETHIndia.
2. Users can seek advice or feedback from 10 angel investors and only pay for the responses they receive.
3. The platform allows users to ask 100 people to test their product, compensating them for their testing efforts.

Eventually, user profiles will become a means for everyone to earn money.

If you're an ETHIndia hacker, please fill out this form here (https://dola.gg/ethindia) . We might be able to reward you when we seek feedback from you.
