History

Early Experiments on Olympia Mainnet

The Olympia mainnet on Radix was the initial platform of choice for @ripsource's experiments. The first project, named "Rippy", was a parody of the Radix assistant, hosted on a rudimentary website designed with basic HTML, CSS, and segments of copied JavaScript. This early iteration was plagued by slow load times, with pages often taking up to 15 seconds to load.

Recognition at RadFi2022 Creative Competition

Transitioning from a personal hobby, @ripsource's work began to gain external acknowledgment. This recognition was highlighted by the win at the RadFi2022 Creative Competition held by @radixdlt. The victory resulted in increased attention, leading to a larger audience discovering the project.

Collaborative Projects

The post-competition period saw @ripsource collaborating with other teams within the decentralized application community. One notable partnership was the development of a collection website for @PenguinsXRD, available at http://collection.radicalpenguins.com.

Diving into Smart Contracts with Scrypto 101

A pivotal phase in @ripsource's journey was enrollment in Radix’s Scrypto 101 course. The structured modules within this course enabled @ripsource to transition from having no knowledge of smart contract creation to launching an NFT-based retro arcade game on RCNet V1.

Introduction of Trove

Utilizing the skills and knowledge accumulated, @ripsource conceptualized Trove. The primary objective of Trove was to offer a solution to the Radix community, allowing for a secure and trustless mechanism for users to manage and swap assets.

Role of Radix in Web3 Development

The development and success of Trove highlighted Radix's potential in simplifying the traditionally complex aspects of dApp and smart contract creation. With its user-friendly tools and platforms, Radix aims to make #web3 more accessible to a broader range of users and potential developers.
