building @myradhq | regional lead @AlgoFoundation | dev w/ a marketing mindset

[Sayan @Sayan__Genri]

early 2025, i had no clue what to do next. not good at apti or dsa, and honestly never had interest in that path result faced rejections

then @ETHGlobal happened. we got selected, treated it like our last shot, and started brainstorming during hack day.

somehow, that chaos turned into @myrad_hq

what started as a simple hackathon idea became a data tokenization platform

our first big win came when we won the @LighthouseWeb3 track worth 2500 usdc at ETHGlobal

but we didn’t stop there

for the past 8 months, we’ve been building and constantly pivoting Myrad now it's verifiable human data platform

trying to figure out what actually works and what people really need

> we went from just an idea to reaching around 1000+ active users and securing grants from @base , giving us the runway to keep building

and yesterday, selected as one of the top 4 teams from the Student Track for @base Batches

honestly, moments like this feel special because a few months back we were just confused trying to figure things out during a hackathon

in march, the entire Myrad team stayed together in bangalore for brainstorming, ideation, late night discussions, and execution. that phase changed a lot for us

big thanks to @AhaanRaizada

now, Myrad has become more than a project for us. it’s something we genuinely want to build long term

we came top 4 in the @base batches 003 student track!

so let me tell you how it all started. might be a bit long, so bear with me.

i'm in my final year at a tier 3 college. when you're at a tier 3, you don't get exposure. you don't get like minded people. you don't get that thing kids at IITs casually have around them.

but i would say, i got lucky.

in my first year i met @TheTeaToast, @Sayan__Genri, and @KarAbhra1383. they are the best buddies i could ask for.

@myrad_hq started because we kept noticing the same pattern in the news. Cambridge analytica weaponizing @Meta user data. @Ledger leaking 270,000+ customer addresses. Equifax exposing 147 million social security numbers. @Yahoo's 3 billion accounts breach. every major platform leaked, breached, or quietly selling something they shouldn't have been touching.

what bothered us most wasn't that it was happening. it's that none of that money, billions made off behavioral data, ever made it back to the people who generated it.

we kept asking the same question... what if we built a two-sided marketplace, one side where users earn from the data they already generate, and the other side where the orgs who actually need this data can access it without worrying about compliance or legal risk?

A verifiable, compliant alternative to scraping, tracking, and surveys, without ever collecting personal information.

then @ETHGlobal new delhi happened. we won the @filecoin track 48 hours into that idea.

initially Myrad was a data token marketplace. it didn't work, the market wasn't there.

so we pivoted to app usage/behavioral human data. you order on Zomato, watch Netflix, take Ubers, push commits to Github. that activity is data, and you're already generating it.

so in january, we rebuilt. we got a grant from Base. new version of Myrad started from there.

Myrad was then already a two-sided marketplace. users contribute app activity and earn rewards. AI teams, product/marketing teams, and research firms access consented, verifiable human data that's almost impossible to get legally anywhere else.

LLMs have already hit a ceiling on scraped data. surveys are biased. synthetic data drifts from reality.

thats why we offer a 4th option: real human behavior data, consented, anonymized, verified onchain.

We got 1,038 users, 544 active in the last 30 days (+70.4% MoM)

761 verified data contributions across 292 unique contributors (+72.6% growth)

147 onchain verifications on Base from 57 transacting users in 29 days since launch

7 live app integrations (Netflix, Zomato, GitHub, Uber Rides, Zepto, Strava, Uber eats)

first enterprise partnership signed with @dockclaw

our primary competitors are Kled and Vana. the difference between them & us is that our domain is a bit different and while contributing on Myrad, your data never leaves your app. we never see any of your personal info like your name, email, phone, or debit/credit info. privacy is inbuilt by default. zk proofs via @reclaimprotocol verify app data locally on your device.

we will be in @ns b/w 18-20th may to record our pitch live there, and our demo plays at SF demo day alongside every other team.

huge thanks to the entire @BasedIndia team for their support in everything (@AhaanRaizada, @saxenasaheb, and @sumedha2199)

Ahaan bhaiya especially, big thanks to him for the guidance & mentorship, meant the world to us.

also id like to tag some more folks who have helped us in every way they could @kairen_me, @ayushhgoel7, @Razorclient, @HimanshuM685, @Parthm71, wouldnt have been possible without these folks

just ending it with saying, if you've been with us, keep being with us. if you're new, welcome, you're early.

this is still day one.

[Sayan @Sayan__Genri]

now this is the time to build something different than helloworld on @AlgoFoundation

welcome to algorand under 1 min

> from a simple hello world contract to a fully working guestbook dapp where anyone can write anything on chain

the dapp is already live 👀
