  • :globe_showing_europe_africa: Scaling to Mainnet โ€“ Expanding user adoption beyond testnet.

  • :wrapped_gift: Enhanced Greeting Types โ€“ Moving from text-only to multimedia onchain greetings.

Our long-term vision is to become the default platform for Web3 greetings and celebrations, reaching millions of users worldwide.


:money_bag: Monetisation Strategy

  • Premium greeting templates (AI + image generation).

  • Sponsored campaigns & seasonal greeting events.

  • Onchain celebratory NFTs as collectible keepsakes.


:hammer_and_wrench: Hyperion Network Feedback

While building on Hyperion, we identified areas of improvement that will be crucial for mainnet adoption:

  1. :high_voltage: Network performance is currently slower compared to Optimism, Arbitrum, etc.

  2. :building_construction: Compatibility issues with OpenZeppelin contracts (causing unexpected errors).

  3. :magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Chain Explorer limitations โ€” token names are not displaying correctly.

Despite these challenges, we successfully deployed and operated our contracts, showing the potential of Hyperion.


:folded_hands: Prayers & Closing Thoughts

Weโ€™re deeply grateful for the support from the Metis Hyperion team and the entire community throughout this hackathon.

Festify has proven that onchain celebrations are more than possibleโ€”theyโ€™re inevitable. With continued support, weโ€™re confident that Festify can scale to reach millions of users, making blockchain a home for moments of joy that last forever.

Hi @arbilearn
What benefits will Festifyโ€™s mainnet transition bring to the Metis ecosystem? For example, in terms of user adoption, on-chain transaction volume, or community engagement, what contributions do you foresee?
