Challenges we ran into
While building this project, building and deploying the governor contract from compound was difficult at first, given that neither cofounder knew how to program in solidity. However, after watching tutorials all night, we figured out the functionality and were able to leverage the governor contract in a way that was conducive to SybilAssistance's success.
Furthermore, we had to work out the market model underlying SybilAssistance, which involved interviewing others in the space regarding relevant painpoints. After collecting significant user feedback, we settled on SybilAssistance as a viable marketplace model that is in high demand.
