F.A.S.T. is the fastest way to use the blockchain to interact between 2 users. Take a picture of youself to sign up, and then snap a picture with someone else, to then interact with their address seamlessly.
F.A.S.T stands for Facial Address State Transfer. It was inspired by a conversation at the hackathon, where someone remarked that it'd be cool to send money to someone's wallet address by just taking a picture of their face. We took it on as a challenge, and decided to see if we could build it. The core problems are quite simple: - Web3 adoption is quite low due to reasonably technical barriers to entry. - Users don't know their own address, and almost definitely don't know someone else's address. Our hypothesis is that AI will enable super high distribution of web3 in the following ways: - People will have an easier chat interface vs. hard to understand UX - AI will enable better ways to link people to their addresses
F.A.S.T. is a Telegram bot made with the following technologies/products: - Telegram (!) - Image indexing tech 👀 - AWS S3 + DynamoDB + Lambda - Vercel: To host our endpoints - OpenZeppelin contracts: To deploy our NFT contracts - Airstack: To enable our bot to (1) understand verified users & (2) create a social graph of interactions - Polygon: Supports Mainnet! - Linea/XDC: More chain support 👀 - SAFE: To enable vault creation for every address + gaslessly transfer tokens + allow for safer access in the future by linking with existing user addresses. - ENS: To enable subdomains for verified users. - Mask: To enrich information about social identities of the wallets on our platform. This whole thing is quite a hack -- there's a lot of moving parts -- come find us IRL to talk about it...
