The problem Sync solves

The problem it's solving is user adoption and addressing the communication gap that exists between wallets today. A wallet is the ultimate source of user identity in the blockchain, and no one can deny this fact. Due to this gap, there are a lot of scams happening all around the world. For example, if I have an NFT, and someone has made an offer on it, but I don't even know who the person behind that wallet is, what can I do? I can go to Discord and say, 'Hey, I need to talk to this XYZ wallet,' or I can post on my Twitter. But what happens after that? The probability of scammers reaching out to you is higher compared to genuine users, and common people often end up in scams. This is just one use case; there are tons of others as well. For example, suppose this app supports booking flight tickets, and somehow, after booking a ticket and paying from his wallet, the user loses his baggage. He doesn't need to worry because he can directly talk to the person (i.e., the wallet) in which he made the payment, looking for a possible solution. Additionally, most chat applications are limited by the fact that they are closed systems and not connected to the outside world. However, with Sync, it will not be like that. The goal is to create a blend of a social layer and a payment layer.Whether it is texting, audio/video calls,superchats,staying connected to outside world whether only the genuine content is posted or whether its the peer-to-peer payment settlement, merchant payments or any other kind of payment, giving a reason to the people to use this app without any ads with a sustainable money making model is the ultimate goal of Sync.

Challenges I ran into

There were many challenges, but I will list only a few here. Firstly, developing with the SUI blockchain was a challenging journey because it seems the SUI ecosystem is evolving. I navigated through it by reading documentation, Discord messages, GitHub code, and sometimes asking for help directly. Secondly, I encountered a Wi-Fi problem and ended up using my own mobile hotspot.Also sometimes, finding and assembling a good team can be a hassle, so I addressed this issue by utilizing popular AI and automation tools like ChatGPT and BARD to do alot of work for me for example writing basic logic and setting up the projects
