Hoper is a blockchain-based eco-platform built to bring people together to collect recyclable waste from open areas such as parks and neighborhoods. The platform combines waste management collection and a social network gathering people into communities. The primary mission behind the project is to encourage people to clean overstock trash and garbage around polluted spaces to provide safer environments. For this purpose, we created a reward system based on Hopercoin tokens. Platform users receive tokens for cleanup cases. Then they can exchange Hopercoin for the products and services offered by the platform partners and investors.
Hoper is based on Ethereum using the ERC-20 token standard. Every platform user should have a MetaMask wallet for receiving, storing, and transferring tokens. The quantity of tokens per transaction is generated by calculating three items: types of waste, size of the package (small, medium, and large), and quantity of packages. Also, Hoper provides an exchange gateway with an easy-to-use interface for participating in Hoper’s donation and gift challenges. Hoper is available worldwide on the web. In the future, the Client plans to create mobile apps (Android and iOS).
A team of 8 specialists worked on the project, including PM, a business analyst, front-end and back-end developers, UX designer, and QA. We used Node.js and React to achieve high platform performance.
