The problem FANEX solves

Fanex is an app that aims to solve the problem of fragmented sports fandom by bringing together all the different aspects of fandom into one place. It offers a loyalty program with a token system and NFT program, giving fans the opportunity to earn rewards and redeem them for merchandise and experiences. The app also allows fans to engage with their favorite teams and players, stay up-to-date on the latest news, and participate in auctions for exclusive merchandise using tokens. The ICC loyalty program is a specific implementation of this idea, tailored to the world of cricket and offered in partnership with the International Cricket Council. Through the ICC loyalty program, cricket fans can earn tokens and redeem them for ICC merchandise, tickets, and other experiences. Overall, Fanex and the ICC loyalty program are two facets of the same idea - a platform that brings sports fandom together in one place and rewards fans for their engagement and loyalty.

Challenges we ran into

1. "We started off with a bit of a disadvantage, as we joined the project a bit later and had to catch up with all the tutorials during the prototype development phase."
2. "As this was our first smart contract project, we had to learn both how to create a smart contract and how to do it using the Cadence language."
3. "The hackathon was scheduled during the week, so we had to manage the development while juggling our day jobs."
4. "Initially, we started developing the app using Flutter. However, since the SDK was not available on Flutter, we had to switch to Swift."
5. "We encountered some challenges with the Swift library, particularly with the use of Combine, which we were not familiar with. We sought help from the community and other members of Flow, and had to learn how to implement it."
