transactions and games occur directly in WhatsApp.\n\n ## How It Works:\n\n- Users open WhatsApp and interact with BlockBot.\n\n- They send or receive crypto instantly within their chat interface.\n\n- Users play mini-games, compete with friends, and earn rewards.\n\n## Revenue Model:\n\n- Transaction Fees: Small fees for crypto transactions processed within BlockBot.\n\n- In-App/Game Purchases: Users can buy virtual items and premium features.\n\n- Advertising: Non-intrusive targeted ads enhance monetization.\n\n## Team:\n\nStanford Biokoro (Founder & CEO) | 2x Founder | [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanford-b-4002a5235/details/experience/)\n\n- Project Lead and contributor for multiple DeFi projects.\n\n- 7+ years in tech and Web3 development\n- Other A-Players and advisors are part of the team with years of experience in web3\n\n\n## Why Avalanche?\n\nAvalanche’s ecosystem aligns with BlockBot’s mission of fostering Web3 accessibility and user-friendly blockchain applications. A grant from Avalanche will enable BlockBot to refine its product, scale its user base, and expand its reach, ultimately driving mainstream adoption of crypto transactions through everyday messaging platforms.\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "BG-Bot-Protocol", "projectTwitter": "bbot_community"}, "recipient": "0x14e80618B4732DfeE4806cA897cE2dce08472eCe"}}
