💡What you can build with 3Box
There are many things you can build with 3Box. But, if you are stuck for inspiration, we have a list for you:👇
COVID-19 Response
As the world tries to respond to the health, economic and social crises brought on by novel coronavirus, we think there are many things the web3 community could build that may be helpful. Here are a few ideas that depend on user-centric data.
🩺 Share COVID-19 status with others, while maintaining privacy
The crypto community at EthCC began a spreadsheet sharing their health status, so others they may have been in contact with can be informed. However, sharing on a google doc means that status and privacy is lost forever, and it also doesn’t scale. Use 3Box to store your status and share it with others, knowing you can remove permission or delete the info later.
🦠 Data collection from wearables for analysis or diagnostics
Use 3Box to store data in a private but shareable way. Stream info from your wearables that can then be shared with health centers or insurance companies to respond with information, advice and discounts.
👍 Incentives for social distancing
Stream GPS data to a 3Box space, which then examines how much you are moving (and how far from others playing you stay) and rewards users for keeping distance.
👩💻 Private, Censorship resistant remote communication
As more of the world moves to remote work, privacy-preserving tools for conferencing and communication are essential. Ghost Threads to provide peer to peer messaging, and an integration with Livepeer, WebRTC or Peer.js could be used for sound and audio.
🍿Distributed social entertainment
With so many people stuck at home, hanging out just got a lot more virtual. Rather than doing so through services like Facebook Portal who will use it to enhance their own social data and graph, do it on your own terms with web3 tech, including chatboxes from 3Box that can follow you across various entertainment and video sites.
🌎 Charity Fundraising platforms
3Box identities gives greater transparency for users and charities, and enable coordinated funding for response teams.
