The problem ParaDropp solves

Climate change is one of the biggest threats to existence in current times. Global temperature is rising at a rapid pace and we have very little time and resources to help reduce the effects of it.
Global and local tourism contributes more towards pollution and creates a larger carbon footprint due to rapid travel and food resources consumed.
Adoption of More Compact, Green + Quieter Last Mile Transport is Slow.

##Proposed Solution
A Blockchain based Spot Rewards Experience that
incentivizes people to use more Compact, Green + Quieter mobility
Tourists have three basic problems:

  • Where to go?
  • Where to eat?
  • How do we reach the destination?
    ##How It Works
  1. Tourist wants to explore a particular place in the city.
  2. Tourist gets to the location using Bikes (instead of ride-hailing or taxi).
  3. ParaDropp provides tourists with tokens based on the choice of transport.
  4. Once the user reaches the destination, they can unlock a spot reward by:
    (i) Exchanging earned tokens for discounts and vouchers.
    (ii) Exchanging for CELO cash (cUSD or CELOs)
  5. These rewards represent Carbon 'Micro' Credits.
  6. Rewards are sponsored by entities looking to offset their carbon emissions via Carbon 'Micro' Offsets

Challenges I ran into

  • With little knowledge about tokenomics , it was challenging to figure out a way to distribute ERC20 tokens as rewards.
  • We had to brainstorm a lot to envision the user journey and flow of the application.
  • We also had difficulty using tools for development and design as had very little experience using them.
