Building Web3 Apps Was Hard. Now It's Easy.

Web3 may be the next generation of the internet, but that doesn't make it easy for users or builders. Building web3 apps requires learning new and niche programming languages, frameworks, and tools, like Solidity, Truffle, Metamask, and Web3.js.

You're not an economist (probably) but building crypto-powered projects can get you dangerously close to the world of an economist. As a builder in web3, you'll frequently run into complex problems like gas fees, tokenomics, and yields.

To make it all worse, once you build the product, you have to attract users. This is harder than it sounds. It can be challenging to onboard new users who may be interacting with web3 first time. They might not even have or want a crypto wallet.

Having deep technical expertise shouldn't keep builders or potential users away from the space. Instead, we should build inclusive technology that empowers builders and the users of the products they build.

That's where DropChain comes in. DropChain is a web3 engine that powers any web2 app. It allows you to build web3 apps using no code or with programming frameworks, you already know. Anything that accepts Restful APIs will do. You don't need to learn solidity or deal with blockchain-specific issues. You can focus on building a great app and let DropChain do the heavy lifting.

The DropChain API is a robust and growing library of audited and pre-packaged smart contracts that you can plug into any app via POST requests and JSON payloads. You can use these smart contracts to enhance your app with web3 functionality, such as creating, sending, and swapping NFTs and tokens, fetching wallet addresses and transaction notes, freezing and deleting assets, and more.

The future is multi-chain. That's why DropChain supports all the most used blockchains so you can build and grow your community anywhere. Our favorites are Algorand, Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, Optimism, and Arbitrum. DropChain is chain agnostic and handles all the cross-chain communication for you.

What good is a web3 app if no one uses it? The DropChain Single Sign On (SSO) enables seamless onboarding for your users. This feature allows users to sign into all their web3 DropChain apps with a single click, just like Google sign-in. Users don't need a crypto wallet or install a sketchy browser extension. They can use their web2 credentials to access your web3 app.

With DropChain, you can build web3 apps in days, not months. Here are some examples of potential web3 apps that you could build using DropChain:

NFT Marketplace

You could create a platform where users can buy, sell and trade NFTs from various categories, such as art, music, gaming, and collectibles. You could use the asset_mint endpoint to allow users to create NFTs from your app, the send_asset endpoint to enable users to send NFTs to other users or platforms, the atomic_swap endpoint to allow users to swap NFTs for other assets or tokens, and the asset_get_note_from_txid endpoint to fetch the metadata associated with each NFT. If you don't know how to code, DropChain's Bubble Plugin allows you to enhance any no-code app.

Web3 Social Media

Social media will always be an attractive place for web3. After all, big tech's data privacy issues inspired the decentralized data structure of wbe3 in the first place... I digress.

You could get in on the action by building a social media platform where users can share their thoughts, opinions, and content with their followers and earn rewards for their engagement. You could use the asset_mint endpoint to create a token that represents your platform's currency or reputation system, the send_asset endpoint to enable users to tip or reward each other with tokens or NFTs for their posts or comments, the get_address_from_uid endpoint to fetch the wallet address of each user based on their unique ID, and the redeem_session_token endpoint to enable users to sign in with their web2 credentials.

We sat down one afternoon and whipped up a no-code web3 photosharing app to show you just how easy it is to build a no-code web3 app with DropChain.

Web3 Game

Gaming is web3's hottest ecosystem. If you made a web3 version of Smash, you'd never see me again. I would be curled away in a den getting Captain Falcon to 13M GSP and a sweet NFT as a bonus.

You could make my dream a reality! You could create a game where users can play, compete and earn NFTs or tokens. You could use the asset_mint endpoint to create NFTs that represent your game's items or characters, the send_asset endpoint to enable users to transfer or trade their NFTs or tokens within or outside your game, the freeze_asset endpoint to let users securely store their assets in their wallet that cannot be moved (also called "soul bound"), and the delete_asset endpoint to let users delete their assets when they are done using them.

These are just some of the possibilities that DropChain opens for you. You can explore more functions and features here.

In a nutshell

DropChain API is the best way to enhance your apps with web3 functionality and seamlessly onboard your users. You can start building for free until you grow past 300 API calls per month. Then you can choose a paid plan that works for you - starting at $29 per month.
