The problem quilt solves

There’s a clear communication gap between users over the blockchain space. Users can’t interact, transact, or verify their peers’ wallets’ addresses. These issues have brought about privacy concerns over the blockchain ecosystem. By knowing one’s address, all pieces of information will be made public. There are no protocols where crypto users can interact and transact anonymously over the space.
Quilt aims to solve these issues by providing a secure and encrypted end-to-end social protocol that gives users the freedom to interact and transact without any identity breach.

Web3 has taught the world how your wallet can act as your identity. You use your wallet for trading, investing, DeFi and storage of NFTs. So why not use your wallet for communication also. This gives you an abundance of freedom and security in balancing both personal finance, and social interaction.

Challenges we ran into

The most difficult hurdle was finding the right technology to use. We had issues finding which technology would make us efficient and easy to use. We first started with libp2p(https://libp2p.io/). But it seemed very complex to use and also time taking. So we switched to gun(https://gun.eco/) as it is very user friendly and easy to build on top of it. Now we are doing some experimentation with orbitdb(https://orbitdb.org/). We overcame all these problems by constant research and experimentation.
