We built CodeCup: A platform to turn your coding skills into assets on Solana. Feedback needed!
Hello Everyone,
For a while now, we've been working on a project called CodeCup (https://www.codecup.cc/), and we’re finally ready to share it with the community and get your honest feedback.
Our core mission is "Where Code Becomes an Asset." We wanted to create a space where developers can actually own their content and monetize their skills directly, all built on the speed of Solana.
What is it?
CodeCup is a Web3 coding challenge arena. You can upload videos of yourself solving coding problems, but instead of just getting views, you can:
🎥 Mint Your Challenges as NFTs: We use the Underdog Protocol to let you mint your coding videos as NFTs on Solana. You own your content.
💰 Earn Real SOL Tips: Viewers and other devs can tip creators instantly with SOL for awesome solutions or helpful tutorials.
🪙 Launch Your Own Creator Token: We've integrated with pumpfunso creators can launch their own SPL token and even create token-gated video content.
⚔️ Battle in Live Streams: Go head-to-head with other devs in live coding battles (using Livepeer). The community votes for the winner in real-time.
🎯 Solve Daily AI Challenges: We also have daily problems where you get scored instantly by an AI Judge (using Google Gemini).
Why Solana? Honestly, this idea wouldn't work on any other chain. We needed:
Speed: Instant tipping and real-time voting are non-negotiable.
Low Cost: Minting video challenges as NFTs had to be affordable for creators.
Composability: Tying into protocols like Underdog Protocol and pumpfun was key to our vision.
We'd love your feedback!
We're a team of devs building for other devs, and we know the r/solana community doesn't pull punches.
What do you think of the concept?
Does the "code as an asset" idea resonate with you?

Check it out and let us know what you think. We're here to answer any questions!
TL;DR: We built a platform for coders on Solana. You can mint your challenge videos as NFTs, get SOL tips, launch your own creator token, and battle other devs live.
