Project ideas

DeFi Games

The intersection of gaming and DeFi has just begun and with the Zapper API it is easier than ever to gamify the experience. For example, a DeFi leaderboard could allow users to sign a message with their key to add it to a competitive leaderboard to show who is the largest whale or who gets the highest average APY on DeFi.

Zapper Spreadsheet Plugin

A Google Sheets plugin that allows users to view all their DeFi data from the Zapper API and use macros to easily interact with it.

Wallet APY Calculator

Make it possible for people to calculate their APYs in real time to get returns in different time periods, i.e., hourly, daily, weekly.

Agricultural recommendation engine

An app that would view your current farms and then recommend similar farms that share similar attributes with your current positions, i.e., risk profile, underlying collateral, protocols, etc.
