Next Step Microgrant: NFT sync gaming API for NEAR ecosystem

[jilt]

1. What

We build on top of an unlockable content service for the NEAR nft ecosystem and will be launched by the end of march, you can see an alpha version at this link

GitHub repo
https://github.com/jilt/varda-vault

Alpha version (UI has to be reviewed)
https://vault.varda.vision/

Improvements Roadmap

The project uses the web3.storage client to provide immutable DB for unlockable content, we wish to build a similar API for NFT gaming interactions enabling gaming projects to recognize NFT ownership without querying the NEAR RPC but relying on an immutable database updated by a subgraph.

3. Will the work be Open Source?

All Varda's repositories are on MIT license, the subgraph may be developed with a contributor who may ask to publish it on a different license, but querying the subgraph will be allowed to anyone.

4. If selected, do you agree to share weekly updates and a grant report upon conclusion?

I'm already a subscriber to the slack channel since months now, as I was waiting to finish the first steps and ask for a grant, I also contributed to the last release (3.5.4) of the web3.storage client npm package link to solved issue

5. Does your proposal comply with our Community Code of Conduct?

Yes

6. Links and submissions

The gaming API will be connected to the Vault unlockable upload interface (uplocker.js and storage.js in the main github repo).
