If you used one of these solutions in the hackathon and would like to share it with us on social so we can share it too, please tag @maichain_xyz
If you want to contribute your own solutions to the Hack Pack (and we would love you to ❤️ ), please reach out to mishadv.eth@mailchain
Stuck for ideas of what to build? Help yourself to any in the bucket.
Idea 1: ENS Subscription Manager: Enable content creators to manage their subscribers using ENS subdomains. Example, send your newsletter to one ENS name knowing all your subscribers will get it.
Idea 2: Novu x Mailchain integration: https://github.com/novuhq/novu/issues/2064 Enable applications to communicate with all of their users regardless of whether they have provided an SMTP email or blockchain wallet address.
Idea 3: Social Graph Contact Lists: Enable web3 users to create allow lists and/or reputation thresholds based on their web3 social networks (e.g. Lens, Farcaster).
Idea 4: Automated Receipts: Enable applications to send automated transaction receipts. Example: for thanking anonymous charity donors.
Idea 5: Web3-native Support Tool: create the web3 Zendesk
Idea 6: Web3 calendar and scheduling tool: create the web3 Calendly
Mailchain is the communication layer for Web3. With Mailchain, people can communicate using their Web3 identities, such as ENS names, through a private, end-to-end encrypted mail experience. The open source Mailchain SDK provides a way for developers to integrate using patterns that easily recompose, adapt, and extend.
