The problem FlowCandy solves

FlowCandy is a platform designed to solve the problem of distributing soulbound NFT tokens, known as candy, within a specified timeframe. These Candies serve various purposes, such as access passes, Proof-of-Knowledge, hackathon rewards, contributor recognition, and PoAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol).

The unique selling point (USP) of Candies lies in their expiration date feature. Each Candy has a predetermined timeframe within which it can be consumed. This means that recipients of candy must redeem them and take advantage of their benefits before they expire.

Example: A discord bot integration that ensures users who have early access pass candy within deadline can join the server.

FlowCandy provides a seamless solution for community organizers, event hosts, and project administrators to distribute these limited-time NFT tokens and ensure their meaningful utilization. It enables the creation and distribution of Candies as a means of rewarding, recognizing, and incentivizing community participation and achievements.
