Aims to Accomplish

Pain points users

  • Users do not receive any update when a transaction is made to their wallet.
  • Users don't receive any notifications about offers made on their NFT on OpenSea.
  • No updates regarding proposals being launched on registered DAO to users.
  • If users have lost their private key, they may struggle to recover their MetaMask account.
  • Private key is very sensitive hence we need to safely store it.
  • If users have forgotten their seed phrase, they may have trouble accessing their account.

Our Solution

  • SnapX-Notify

    • Receive notification whenever a proposal is launched by any of the DAOs you follow.
    • Receive updates whenever someone send ether to their Metamask wallet.
    • Receive alerts when a buyer makes an offer on your published NFT on OpenSea.

  • SnapX-RecoveryKit

    • In case where the users lose their private key, we provide a method to recover the wallet via recovery key.
    • Since the recoveryKey is public (since it is encrypted) we can freely store it anywhere.
