Why are you participating for Based India?

I am participating in Based India hackathon to contribute towards building a more efficient and scalable infrastructure on the Base blockchain. My goal is to leverage Base's capabilities to create innovative solutions that address challenges like low engagement and cost-efficient user participation, particularly in form responses and surveys.

What challenges are you focusing on?

We are addressing the challenge of increasing user response rates for forms in a cost-effective way by leveraging Base's micro-transaction capabilities.

By using micro-transactions and features like affiliates, dynamic rewards, and automated workflows, we incentivize users to complete forms without incurring high costs for form creators. This approach helps boost engagement while maintaining affordability.

How does your submission address this challenge?

Our submission tackles the challenge of low form response rates by offering a range of innovative tools through FormPilot that incentivize and reward users for completing forms. We've designed features to increase participation and generate valuable insights for form owners.

By talking to various founders and community managers, we identified common challenges and developed a suite of tools to address them. Here’s how we help you get more responses and better insights:

Platform Tools:

Affiliates
Escrows
Real-time & static rewards
LLM Validator & Summarizer
Voting
Airdrops
Marketplace
Intelligent Taps + Embedded Forms
Automated workflows
Key Use Cases:

Reward-based Feedback Forms:

Static rewards: Every user submitting the form receives the same reward.

Dynamic rewards: Based on the quality of the response in form the rewards will vary for each submission.

To check quality - AI LLM agent will train on the form questions and description based on the quality score they given the rewards will vary

Non-reward Feedback Flow:

Form owners manually review responses and approve or disapprove them. Only approved responses are eligible for rewards.
Escrow-based Giveaways:

Load tokens or NFTs into escrow pools, allowing users to claim them upon form submission.

LLM Summarizer:
Automatically generate a summarized version of all user feedback, helping you understand overall sentiment and insights.

DAO-style Voting:
Allow users to vote on specific options, gathering their preferences and opinions.

Instant Airdrops:
Configure escrow pools to automatically distribute airdrops to users after form submission.

Affiliate Program:
Users who submit forms through an affiliate URL earn commissions for the affiliate owner.

Marketplace:
Users can browse a variety of reward-based forms (both paid and unpaid) to complete and earn rewards.

These features create multiple pathways to increase engagement, reward participation, and offer actionable insights for form creators.

Challenges I ran into

One of the major challenges I faced while running my SaaS platform was the fluctuation in user engagement. To understand the reasons behind this, I sent out survey forms to users, but the response rate was extremely low. This issue persisted even others shared the different surveys in various WhatsApp / Social groups, making it difficult to gather insights. It became clear that finding a cost-effective way to encourage users to provide feedback and complete forms was a significant challenge.

Another technical challenge we encountered was designing and configuring a real-time, multi-chain escrow pool and reward flow that could handle high traffic and provide dynamic, instant rewards. Ensuring this architecture was both scalable and efficient required considerable effort.

Solutions We Implemented

To overcome these hurdles, we developed features like dynamic and static real-time rewards, affiliates, and other engagement-boosting tools. These features incentivized users to fill out forms and significantly increased response rates, all while keeping costs low. Additionally, we carefully designed a scalable architecture for the real-time reward flow and escrow pool, which ensured seamless handling of high traffic and user rewards.

Additional Features

Added various integrations and features into form builder tool.

Integrated & Developed unified escrow pool that supports BASE into the platform
