7/ Hermes by @captainralph42_ and just.1_ Hermes is a dApp built on Alephium Blockchain that allows users to generate and send AI-generated NFTs to friends. For the hackathon, Hermes developed two themes—love and humor—where users can create fun, personalized NFTs featuring AI-generated images and messages. With just a few clicks, these creations can be tokenized and sent directly to the recipient’s wallet. Key features include: 🔹AI-Generated Content: Users can generate unique images with love messages or humorous punchlines. 🔹NFT Creation and Transfer: The dApp allows seamless tokenization and transfer of these personalized NFTs. 🔹Easy On-Chain Transactions: Hermes makes it simple to familiarize users with Alephium wallets and on-chain transactions. 🔹Fun and Lighthearted: Aligned with the hackathon's theme, "Why so serious?", the dApp adds a playful touch to blockchain interactions. 🔹Hermes plans to continue development after the hackathon, with future features that will bring real-world utility to the platform.

𝗚𝗠 𝗮𝗹𝗹! 👋 As some of you may have seen, I participated in 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗶𝘂𝗺’𝘀 𝟭.𝟱 𝗵𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻, and I would like to share my thoughts on this amazing experience.✨🎉 I joined the Alephium ecosystem a few months ago (thanks @MiningTk ). During that time, I’ve learned so much and met some wonderful people. The Alephium Community is full of fascinating individuals who are always willing to take time to help you, answer your questions, and share their knowledge.☺️ These people likely underestimate how much they’ve given me and how much 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲. After receiving so much from them, I wanted to give something back in return.🔁 When I heard that @Blockflow_DAO and @AlephiumGazette was organizing a community hackathon, I immediately wanted to participate. It was my chance, in my own modest way, 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 (even though I’ve been working on something in secret for a few months now🤫). This is how, together with @captainralph42 , we decided to jump in. And that’s how @HermesOnChain was born.🌅 What I particularly loved about this event was the theme. Sometimes, the crypto world is "𝙨𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨", almost forgetting the rich and fun culture of the internet. That’s why I truly want to thank the hackathon organizers, as they gave the community (people with little or no experience) the opportunity to jump in and bring this fun side to the table.👷‍♂️ Watching the @alephium ecosystem grow with big, promising projects while maintaining a connection with the community and the internet culture we love so much is something I find truly beautiful.🤩 If you take away just one thing from my message, it’s this: 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. And when you receive, give back, even if it’s not “as much” or in the same way. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.🚀 Thanks again all.🗿 Stay tuned!

Gm ☀️, A huge thank you to @Blockflow_DAO for organizing Hackathon 1.5, the first community-driven hackathon! As soon as I saw the theme "WhySoSerious ", I knew it was the perfect opportunity to create a dApp that breaks the mold. And it was a real success! 💪 I loved working on @HermesOnChain, which combines AI 🤖, NFTs 🎨, and oracles 🔮, and the best part? It’s delightfully unserious—just pure fun! 😎 Developing on the @alephium ecosystem has been an incredibly smooth and downright exciting experience 🚀. It’s clear that Alephium was crafted with a deep understanding of what developers need, making it not only easy but genuinely fun to build on 🎯. The documentation is super comprehensive 📚, guiding you through each step with clarity and detail, which really speeds up the process ⏩. Plus, the dev community? Absolutely top-notch 🏆. Whether you're a seasoned coder or just getting started, there’s always someone willing to help, share knowledge, or even just brainstorm ideas 💡. The vibe is so cool that it feels like everyone’s got your back 🙌. Alephium has that next-generation feel—scalable, secure, and very fast ⚡—which has made every stage of development fluid and efficient. Clearly, the ecosystem is designed to support development and foster innovation 🔥. Congrats to all the participants! 🎉 Everyone did an amazing job and brought incredible creativity to the table. If I had to take away one thing from this hackathon, it’s to believe in yourself: you don't need three PhDs in computer science to build a dApp on Alephium. All you need to get started is a computer 💻, some motivation 💪, and a good cup of coffee ☕. So, go for it! 🚀 See you very soon 👋, The Captain.

(𝟰) 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘁! 📣 Now that you know everything, have fun generating tons of NFTs and sending them to your friends! Access the dApp here: hermes-cooldapp.vercel.app/landing #Alephium #NFT #Blockchain #dApp #Web3 #NFTCommunity #Hermes

The generated punchlines are paired with AI-generated backgrounds to create a final image. This image is then minted as an NFT and sent directly to the user’s wallet. More technical information: hermes-cooldapp.vercel.app/docs

It is important to note that Hermes is still on the testnet to keep the service free (feel free to ask any questions about how to use Hermes or a testnet wallet).

The goal? To add a bit of fun to how we use blockchain. Now, not only can you do regular transactions, but you can also send funny NFTs to your friends!

Developing a dApp that allows anyone to create their own humorous NFT and send it to friends. In just a few clicks, you can generate a unique image with a funny text, which you’ll receive in your wallet as an NFT.
