Ideas to build on the NERO Chain WaveHack
For all ideas below and any project in the WaveHack, the usage of the aa-platform is mandatory.
🎮 GameFi
Gasless Onchain Game: Create a game that hides all blockchain complexity — users just play, while gas is fully sponsored behind the scenes.
NFT Disperse Tool with Analytics: Send game-related NFTs (e.g., achievements, assets) to players and track retention, transfers, and engagement.
Wallet Marketplace for Game Accounts: Let users buy/sell Smart Contract Wallets (SCWs) as pre-leveled game accounts or collectible identities.
🌐 SocialFi
Invisible UX Voting App: MPC wallet-based voting or polling dApp with sponsored gas — users don’t know they’re on-chain.
Social Marketplace with Gas-included Pricing: Enable creators or communities to sell digital goods or access where buyers don’t deal with wallets/gas.
Fiat → Action Onboarding Flow: Use off-chain providers to let users “buy into” an action on NERO (e.g., cast a vote or mint a badge).
💰 DeFi
Gasless Payment & Swap App: Allow users to swap NERO ↔ stablecoins or use stablecoins to cover gas fees — ideal for payments or remittances.
Batch DEX Router with Sponsored Gas: Auto-select best swap route across DEXs like Uniswap/1inch in one click using Account Abstraction.
Scheduled Swaps & Auto-Rebalancing: Set up automated swaps or DCA strategies using batch operations.
Collateralized CDP (Vaults): Use $NERO or any token as collateral to mint stable assets or borrow funds — sponsor transactions for seamless UX.

What is NERO Chain
NERO chain is an innovative modular blockchain that prioritizes returning value to applications instead of hoarding it at the infrastructure level. NERO chain transforms conventional blockchain economics, allowing dApps to seize and share transaction value, guaranteeing that the triumph of an application rewards its creators and users, rather than solely benefiting the underlying network.
NERO offers unparalleled scalability and flexibility through its full EVM compatibility and high-performance settlement layer. With cutting-edge features such as Blockspace 2.0, native Account Abstraction, and Paymaster-driven gas sponsorship, it ensures a seamless experience for developers.
Welcome to NERO chain, the place where applications thrive on blockchains, not the reverse.
