Stellar West African Ambassadors: Contract4Hire

coverThis is a submission for the Build Better on Stellar: Smart Contract Challenge : Build a dApp

What I Built

Join our unlikely heros as they leave their comfort zone to help various people with their contracts! set in an evolving West Africa.

The fun doesnt stop there! delve into the booklets to get an understanding of how our story was built and realise you're never too far from building your own contracts.......

Contract4Hire is a Story driven dApp developer tool. Its aim is to onboard prospective devs no matter experience by setting the foundations for three core skills to contribute to the evolving narrative of the stellar ecosystem : Use case understanding, Rust and Smart Contracts. It is the West African Ambassadors gift to the story of the stellar ecosystem, and hopes to be the first in a long line of storytelling.

Journey

Tino: Smart contracts are implemented in the story by requiring you to issue CLI commands to progress, the developer docs also cover how easily you can get started in rust and smart contracts through the blank canvas of Egui!

Working across borders is difficult across continents even more so! - it was totally worth it to see the power of people striving for a common goal.

I want to create more technical - accessible distributable educational tools for the ambassadors to distribute at their global events, so that anyone can write the first page of their Stellar journey no matter their internet connection!

Chiamaka: We built interactive story for learning how to deploy smart contracts on the Stellar network. The goal was to make blockchain concepts more accessible and fun. As a UI/UX designer, I focused on creating a user-friendly experience, while Tino took care of the coding in Rust.

Our motivation came from wanting to simplify something complex, and we’re really proud of how it turned out. The Stellar ecosystem was a bit challenging at first, but the resources and community support made it all worth it.

Moving forward, we’re excited to see how users interact with the game after it’s submitted. We want it to serve as another nexus of community created tools and wish to keep upgrading it based on feedback to make sure it stays educational and engaging.

Both A dApp and tutorial:
