πŸš€ AuctionDash

πŸ—‚οΈ Project Overview

  • Student ID: 20220093
  • Name: κΉ€λ¬Έμ • Moonjung Kim
  • Project Title: AuctionDash
  • Summary (3–4 sentences): This decentralized delivery platform aims to disrupt the dominance of centralized delivery apps by creating a fair and transparent ecosystem. It introdueces an auction-based delivery fee system and user-governed ecosystem. It is built on Solana for low fees and high throughput.

1. 🧩 Problem: What Problem Are You Solving?

Current delivery platforms exert disproportionate influence over restaurants, couriers, and customers, limiting their autonomy and negotiation power.

  • Service fees and commission rates lack transparency, making it unclear how costs are calculated or distributed.
  • Proprietary algorithms often favor certain vendors or couriers, creating biased visibility and order allocation.
  • Transaction and customer data is fully controlled by centralized platforms, leaving participants with limited access, minimal transparency, and no control over how their data is used.
  • Couriers often face low pay, unstable income, and limited protections, with little say in setting rates, schedules, or working conditions.

2. πŸ’‘ Solution: Your Proposed Approach

1. Auction-Based Delivery Fee

  • The restaurant owner sets a baseline fee they are willing to pay the courier.
  • The customer can add an optional tip or incentive to increase the fee for faster delivery.
  • The courier reviews the total offered fee and decides whether to accept the job.

2. Community Governance

  • Restaurants, customers, and couriers earn governance tokens based on their on-chain activity.
  • These tokens grant voting rights to propose and approve protocol changes that shape the platform’s rules and policies.

3. πŸ”— Why Blockchain (and Token)?

  • Prevent Centralized Power Concentration: Eliminate the risk of a single company dominating once it captures a large user base.
  • Ensure Transparent Pricing: Make all fees, commissions, and payments verifiable on-chain, removing hidden charges.
  • Empower Actual Users: Give restaurants, customers, and couriers direct governance power to shape platform rules.

I build on Solana because it has low transaction fees and high throughput, so therefore real-time auctions and micro-payments can be fast and affordable for all participants.

4. πŸ› οΈ MVP or Prototype

  • Current status: β–  Idea only ☐ Prototype ☐ Working MVP
  • Key features you implemented
    • Customer side UI that lets user use GUI to choose restaurant, food, and delivery fee and make a smart contract out of the choice
    • Tried on importing metamask android sdk
    • Instead, I used Solana's Mobile Wallet Adaptor

  • I also submitted to Colosseum Eternal, but I realized it takes 4 weeks to complete the submission and submitted to QuSat Group Hackathon 2025 instead.

6. πŸ€” Reflection & Future Work

Reflection

  • I should have focused more on the smart contract and less on the interface. I would have made much more progress.
  • Finding references for the MetaMask Android SDK was harder than I expected.

Future Work

  • Complete the three-participant smart contract and ship an MVP.
  • Add a governance token as a follow-up enhancement.
