How does your submission address this challenge?

• To uphold quality, kimiko aims to leverage decentralized identity so sellers and buyers don't just remain anonymous.
• Our paradigm ensures Sellers are motivated while the buyer also make some tangible commitments. This undoubtedly will solve the delivery issues and introduces checks and balances on the parties attitude.

Challenges I ran into

Most of the challenges I encountered stem from Onchainkit sdk and Coinbase apps. I spent over 36hrs trying to fix it. To use OnchainKit sdk, I am required to create an API key on the https://portal.cdp.coinbase.com. But Coinbase and all affiliated links are not accessible. It took me a while to know this is cause of the problem. I discovered the network providers I am using are blocking access to coinbase-related links. The solution was to get an innocent provider. With that, I could coinbase extension and Onchainkit.
