Our client

Proof of Meet(POM) is what started as a hackathon project and grew into a full-scale startup. We worked with the client from the beginning, supporting them at every step with savvy developers. Our expertise went way beyond just code, as we saw the business value as well and were able to connect that to tech.

Project description

POM is a Polygon blockchain-based digital passport (a DID wallet), used to share credentials, such as identity and employment history.

POM interface/concept

Working in a tight timeframe, we had to pick the right tools to develop bug-free code while being extremely agile. The frontend stack was simple yet efficient — TypeScript & NextJs. This allowed us not to spend any time configuring the boilerplate and get straight to work. At first, we didn’t have a designer, so our team used Tailwind — a performant CSS framework for the web, which also has a component library(TailwindUI).

As our Decentralized Identity(DID) provider, we used PolygonId, which enables you to build trusted and secure relationships between users and dApps, following the principles of self-sovereign identity and privacy by default. PolygonId allows users to use zero-knowledge proofs to interact with smart contracts, solving the "trust " problem in web3.

As POM is scaling, we’re continuing to support it and growing our development team with them. Attracting skilled talent is extremely hard for a startup, but at MiKi, we can add up to 5 talented developers to the team in a matter of 4 days.

The result

Working together, we created a stunning MVP for POM, which won multiple hackathons and got the attention of investors. We won EthSeoul2023, the Polygon DevX hackathon, and more.
In the future, we plan to support POM even more and help them develop awesome functionality.

P.S. This is just a brief business description of the project, stay tuned for part two of the article — the technical breakdown.
