What is ETHIndia?

ETHIndia is Asia's largest hackathon — a place where the leading minds in the Ethereum ecosystem unite with 1500+ builders from around the globe to build decentralized applications for the future.

Exploring sponsors and technologies

Before the hackathon started, we wanted to narrow down our concepts and new web 3.0 technologies we wanted to explore. Though the choice was tough among so many, we finalized on a few:

Lens ↗

A social Web 3 Protocol

Stable Diffusion ↗

Open-source GenAI model

Ideas

Since time was low, we wanted to have fun and learn. To this we started thinking of games that we used to play as kids. These discussions led us down the rabbit hole of one of the first social media sites of 2000s: Hot or Not

I quickly whipped out some wireframes, envisioning how Hot or Not will loook in 2020s built on open web protocols like Lens:

Voting
Generate images
Connecting wallet

The catch? We use A.I. Images to compete instead. Promoting playful explorations with then newly introduced generative AI models.

Lets Hack

Day 1

I had already prepared all the assets and a small design system for my team to get started with:

Helping and collaborating with them for any product decision.

Day 2

I took the responsibility of creating a narrative and preparing how we will present our idea and demo to the judges.

Alongside, prototyping in Figma to give help my team with something tangible to play around with as they implemented it using Lens and Stable Diffusion.

Vote for your favorite images and collect them as NFTs
Give your best shot and generate AI images on today's topic

Results

We built NFT or Not and demoed successfully on time for ETHIndia'22. Although, we did not win the grand prize for using Lens, we were given a lot of goodies by the lens team!
