DSCVR, the largest web3 social media and community-building platform, announces the launch of Canvas, a groundbreaking framework that enables developers to effortlessly build and integrate custom applications directly into DSCVR’s social feeds. With just a few tweaks any web application can be made into a Canvas application. Combined with DSCVR’s API, Canvas provides an easy-to-build framework to launch and distribute embedded apps on the DSCVR platform.

Canvas apps can have rich interfaces previously unseen in Web3 social that extend beyond the existing frame standards of buttons and textboxes to support games, interactive media, and more. Developers can find viral distribution for Canvases in feed, making them instantly accessible to the community and scaling them across hundreds of thousands of users. With Canvas, building, launching, and managing embedded apps has never been easier or more innovative, offering end users dynamic and rewarding experiences.

A New Era of Web3 Embedded App Development

DSCVR Canvas introduces a framework that makes app creation accessible to a breadth of developers, from seasoned engineers to students just learning Javascript. The platform offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the development process, allowing anyone to build dynamic, interactive applications without advanced technical skills. Canvas is also built to support existing Frames and Solana Blinks so developers in these ecosystems can easily share their apps on DSCVR.

“We’re excited to introduce Canvas to our developer community,” said Rick Porter, CEO of DSCVR. “Our goal is to empower developers with the framework they need to create and scale apps within the DSCVR ecosystem for the benefit of our users. Canvas is a significant step towards realizing that vision.”

Key Features of DSCVR Canvas:

• Transactions: Canvas applications can interact directly with user wallets which are already paired with DSCVR accounts, creating new utility for NFTs and fungible tokens
• Seamless Integration: Apps built on Canvas integrate effortlessly with the DSCVR platform, leveraging robust APIs and the speed of the platform for smooth performance.
• Enhanced Performance: Designed for scalability, Canvas supports everything from simple ways to earn crypto, tipping, to games and other complex applications.
• Rich Media Support: Users can incorporate images, videos, and interactive elements to create engaging and immersive apps.

Driving Innovation in Web3 Social Media

With more canvases being built on DSCVR, users will enjoy a wide range of fun and engaging experiences directly within their social feed. From interactive games and trading platforms to token minting, DSCVR Canvas Embedded Apps will enrich the user experience, making social interactions more dynamic and rewarding. These apps will allow users to easily monetize their activities, participate in immersive gaming and trade digital assets, transforming the way they interact on the platform. At the same time, this is an opportunity for developers to gain distribution for their applications to an audience of hundreds of thousands of users.

Launch Event and Community Engagement

To celebrate the launch, DSCVR will be organizing a global hackathon on August 5th hosted by Dorahacks to encourage experimentation and creativity among its developer community. Sponsors include Metaplex, Matrica, Helius, Spiderswap and Tweed. Notable judges include Austen Federa, Jon Wong, and Pedro Miranda from the Solana Foundation as well as Josh Finer from Solana Ventures. 

“We’re committed to supporting our developer community and providing them with the support and tools they need to succeed,” added Rick Porter. “DSCVR Canvas is a testament to our dedication to innovation in the Web3 social ecosystem.”
