Where It’s At
Batsy noted gStarter’s early development phase, hammering out user journeys, white papers, and backend smart contracts. Wayne’s team is wireframing, crafting a slick UI/UX to ensure seamless navigation as the platform evolves.
The Brains Behind It
Batsy brings blockchain consultancy chops and The PIPE dGAO’s community-driven commercialization model to supercharge gStarter. Wayne, a design and startup veteran, is passionate about streamlining university project launches, drawing from his experience in enhancing commercialization pipelines.
What Sets It Apart
- Project Score System: Rates projects using on-chain and off-chain metrics for risk and potential, guiding investors.
- The Pipe Integration: Rigorous validation ensures only top-tier projects make the cut.
Security and Trust
