DSCVR, the largest web3 social media and
community-building platform, announces the launch of Canvas, a
groundbreaking framework that enables developers to effortlessly
build and integrate custom applications directly into DSCVR’s
social feeds. With just a few tweaks any web application can be
made into a Canvas application. Combined with DSCVR’s API,
Canvas provides an easy-to-build framework to launch and distribute
embedded apps on the DSCVR platform.
Canvas apps can have rich interfaces previously unseen in Web3
social that extend beyond the existing frame standards of buttons
and textboxes to support games, interactive media, and more.
Developers can find viral distribution for Canvases in feed, making
them instantly accessible to the community and scaling them across
hundreds of thousands of users. With Canvas, building, launching,
and managing embedded apps has never been easier or more
innovative, offering end users dynamic and rewarding
experiences.
A New Era of Web3 Embedded App Development
DSCVR Canvas introduces a framework that makes app creation
accessible to a breadth of developers, from seasoned engineers to
students just learning Javascript. The platform offers a
user-friendly interface that simplifies the development process,
allowing anyone to build dynamic, interactive applications without
advanced technical skills. Canvas is also built to support existing
Frames and Solana Blinks so developers in these ecosystems can
easily share their apps on DSCVR.
“We’re excited to introduce Canvas to our developer
community,” said Rick Porter, CEO of DSCVR. “Our goal is to empower
developers with the framework they need to create and scale apps
within the DSCVR ecosystem for the benefit of our users. Canvas is
a significant step towards realizing that vision.”
Key Features of DSCVR Canvas:
- Transactions: Canvas applications can interact
directly with user wallets which are already paired with DSCVR
accounts, creating new utility for NFTs and fungible tokens
- Seamless Integration: Apps built on Canvas
integrate effortlessly with the DSCVR platform, leveraging robust
APIs and the speed of the platform for smooth performance.
- Enhanced Performance: Designed for
scalability, Canvas supports everything from simple ways to earn
crypto, tipping, to games and other complex applications.
- Rich Media Support: Users can incorporate
images, videos, and interactive elements to create engaging and
immersive apps.
Driving Innovation in Web3 Social Media
With more canvases being built on DSCVR, users will enjoy a wide
range of fun and engaging experiences directly within their social
feed. From interactive games and trading platforms to token
minting, DSCVR Canvas Embedded Apps will enrich the user
experience, making social interactions more dynamic and rewarding.
These apps will allow users to easily monetize their activities,
participate in immersive gaming and trade digital assets,
transforming the way they interact on the platform. At the same
time, this is an opportunity for developers to gain distribution
for their applications to an audience of hundreds of thousands of
users.
Launch Event and Community Engagement
To celebrate the launch, DSCVR will be organizing a global
hackathon on August 5th hosted by Dorahacks to encourage
experimentation and creativity among its developer community.
Sponsors include Metaplex, Matrica, Helius, Spiderswap and Tweed.
Notable judges include Austen Federa, Jon Wong, and Pedro Miranda
from the Solana Foundation as well as Josh Finer from Solana
Ventures.
“We’re committed to supporting our developer community
and providing them with the support and tools they need to
succeed,” added Rick Porter. “DSCVR Canvas is a testament to our
dedication to innovation in the Web3 social
ecosystem.”
