Quid is a feedback marketplace built on the Stellar blockchain that connects founders who need honest dApp feedback with users who provide valuable insights for USDC rewards.

The Problem

Building in Web3 is hard. Getting early, high-quality feedback is even harder.

• Founders struggle to find real users to test their dApps.
• Users have no incentive to provide detailed, constructive criticism.
• Feedback is often lost in Discord channels or is spam from bots.

The Solution

Quid creates a trustless "Bounty Vault" for feedback.

1. Founders create a Mission and lock funds (USDC/XLM) in a smart contract.
2. Hunters submit proof of work (screenshots/feedback) via IPFS.
3. Smart Contracts handle the payout only when feedback is approved.

Core Features

1. The Bounty Vault

Funds are escrowed on-chain the moment a mission is created. Users can see the balance in the smart contract, guaranteeing that the money exists before they start working.

2. Hybrid Storage (Proof-of-Feedback)

We utilize a gas-efficient architecture. Large data (feedback text, screenshots, recordings) is pinned to IPFS, while only the cryptographic hash (CID) is stored on the Stellar ledger.

3. Asset Gating (Anti-Spam)

Founders can filter for quality by requiring hunters to hold specific assets.

• Example: "Only users holding > 500 AQUA can join this mission."
• Example: "Must hold the 'Early Adopter' NFT."

4. Reputation Engine

Quid tracks a user's history on-chain. Every approved submission increments a user's "Successful Missions" counter, building a verifiable resume of high-quality contributions.

The platform is split into two main experiences, depending on your role.

1. For Founders (Getting Feedback)

As a Founder, you need to understand if your dApp is hitting the mark. Quid helps you do that efficiently.

• Create a Mission: Easily create a new feedback campaign (a "Mission") by filling out a simple form and more to come 🥂:
  • Title: A clear name for your feedback request.
  • dApp URL: The link to the project you want feedback on.
  • Reward per user: How much USDC you'll pay each user for their feedback.
  • Max Participants: The maximum number of users you need.
• Track Your Missions: The Founder Dashboard displays all your active missions, showing how many responses you've received out of the total you requested.

2. For Users (Giving Feedback)

As a User, you can leverage your experience with dApps to earn rewards.

• The Mission Board: This is where you find all available feedback opportunities.
• Browse and Start Missions: View a grid of available missions, see the reward for each, and simply click "Start Mission" to begin.
• Submit Feedback: On the mission detail page, you get:
  • Clear instructions from the Founder.
  • A text area to write down your thoughts.
  • An uploader for screenshots or recordings as proof.
• Get Paid: Once you submit, your feedback is sent to the Founder, and you're in line to receive your USDC reward.

3. Wallet Connection

• Connect Your Wallet: The application uses a "Connect Wallet" button, simulating a connection to a Stellar wallet like Freighter.
• Identity: Once connected, your wallet address (e.g., G...ABCD) is shown, acting as your identity on the platform.

Tech Stack

• Framework: React with TypeScript for a robust and scalable frontend.
• Styling: Tailwind CSS for a utility-first, clean, and responsive design. The components will use Shadcn/UI library.
• Icons: Lucide-React icons.
• Blockchain: Stellar + Soroban (Smart Contracts).
• Identity: Freighter Wallet + On-chain transaction history.
• Payments: USDC (Stellar Assets).

How to Start

1. Connect your Stellar wallet.
2. If you are a founder, deposit a bounty and post a mission.
3. If you are a user, pick a mission and share your thoughts.
