Is your dapp open source?

Yes

If open source, what is the repo for the dapp?

https://github.com/attestate/kiwistand

Please describe the measures taken to ensure the dapp's security and provide documentation wherever possible

Kiwi app doesn’t use users’ funds, so there’s no smart contract to audit.

All our data is stored on a P2P protocol similar to Farcaster. All users' actions (submitting links, upvoting, commenting) are done via EIP712 signatures.

Here’s documentation with information about the messages that users send:
https://attestate.com/kiwistand/main/protocol.html

There are two moments where users can submit an onchain tx.
#1 Minting an NFT via standard ERC721 contract https://optimistic.etherscan.io/address/0x66747bdc903d17c586fa09ee5d6b54cc85bbea45

This contract has been used and audited by ZORA.

#2 Creating delegated keys in the browser
https://optimistic.etherscan.io/address/0x08b7ecfac2c5754abafb789c84f8fa37c9f088b0#code

This contract is very simple - it has also been evaluated by two independent, smart contract engineers, and we also wrote a long comment about how it works.

Can a user access the dapp without creating an account?

Yes, users don’t even need to connect their wallets.

Are dapp funds non-custodial?

Users don’t store any funds in our dapp. And even if we disappear, there are alternative front-ends (kiwi news.lol), and our frontend and protocol are fully open source, so they can be recreated.

Do you offer community support?

We run a Telegram channel for people who bought a Kiwi Pass. If someone has problems with the app, they can also DM us on Telegram, Twitter, or Farcaster (everywhere we use the same handles: @MacBudkowski and @TimDaub)

Describe any geographical restrictions on usage of your dapp

Our app is globally accessible - we have community members from the US, LatAm, Europe, Africa, Austria and Asia.

what exactly is the issue here?
I am interested

[konopkja]

lgtm, could be added to https://ethereum.org/en/dapps/?category=social under content or social media category - not sure. What do you think @MacBudkowski is more appropriate?

[MacBudkowski]

hey, I think "social media" would be a more appropriate category. And that's because we are kind of like a subreddit - it is about sharing content, but the content is just a tool to create a Schelling Point for people who share the same interests so they can meet and build connections.

socials it is - needs PR now
