WorldsBest.fyi is a decentralized voting platform enabling accurate crowdsourced ratings, piloting as a system to create a community-judged prize for hackathons.
The problem WorldsBest FYI solves
We felt that incorporating features of the Blockchain, including secure data transfers and on transparency through on-chain open source ledgers, would greatly enhance the voting process.
Another important aspect of our project is getting contestant, or in our scenario Hackers, excited about other participant projects. There is indeed a spirit of comradely among competitors. Many hackers attend multiple events throughout the year and ultimately main gain long term professional connections from attending events.
Our application encourages hackers, and potentially contestants, to network with other developers at hackathon events. Understanding other projects prior to the final winner announcements greatly increases the odds of selecting the winner. The reward mechanism provides tokens that can be used for a later affiliated benefit, perhaps swag or a waived future event entrance fee. In this way hackers can connect and learn from other peers, during an otherwise dormant time in the hack a thon event.
Challenges we ran into
Using tableland decentralized database was kinda tough at the starting but thorugh the support from the tableland team from discord we were able to integrate tableland.
