Status Developer Challenge

[rachelhamlin]

ETHSingapore hackers: we'd like to invite you to extend Status for submission to our sponsorship prize.

We've recently completed the alpha version of our extensions toolset, which allow developers to extend DApps in Status in a native way using the building blocks we provide.

For the prize, you should repurpose Status features to bring new functionality to Status wallet or chat.

Requirements

Build an extension!

In practice, many extensions will likely interact with smart contracts, but this is not a requirement for ETHSingapore.

What to know

Extensions are data-based and built on the EDN format. They're entirely permissionless both to build and distribute.

You can use this playground to write and deploy your extensions to IPFS.

What's possible?

We currently have two hooks or extension points within Status, from chat and wallet.

chat commands allow users to execute functionality within context of a chat. Status comes with two commands built in (send and request ERC20 tokens).
Example: Using extensions, we've built additional commands that allow users to send GIFs from Gfycat and also ERC721 tokens.

wallet options: You can add custom UI to our wallet, using a ... menu option as the entry point.
Example: We've built an exchange option into the wallet, based on Kyber and accessible via an Exchange Assets option in the menu.

Prize details

@rachelhamlin. Could you help me understand the scope of the extension? I have created and published a custom using the link you provided but what to do next?

Thanks, @jeluard . I'll check them out.

@jeluard I'm facing problem testing the extension. + I have some suggestions for the android app, where can I raise them as issue?
