đź’Ť Marriage DAO: Miami Hack Week 2023 Hackathon

A mobile-first Web3 experiment from Miami Hack Week 2023: can a ceremony stay personal while blockchain-native tools coordinate its record? Marriage DAO made that question tangible—playfully, on a phone.

What the project was

Marriage DAO explored a simple question: what if blockchain-native tooling helped coordinate, verify, and celebrate a marriage ceremony? The answer was a mobile app concept that brought ceremony, identity, and a memorable demo experience into one flow.

Summary

Marriage DAO reduced an unusual idea to one memorable journey: a mobile ceremony concept, MetaMask-powered onboarding, and an on-chain record. It was a hackathon prototype—not a claim that technology replaces the human part of a marriage. The point was to explore how a serious moment might be represented through a new technical medium.
