Stogram has strategically aligned itself with the Arbitrum ecosystem to leverage its advanced capabilities and contribute to its growth. Our project is poised to strengthen Arbitrum’s foundational infrastructure, improve developer efficiency, and accelerate the adoption of novel applications through several key initiatives.

###Previous Work

1. Usernames and NFTs: We have integrated the process of minting usernames and posts as NFTs directly on the Arbitrum network. This ensures that our users can enjoy fast, low-cost transactions, which are hallmarks of Arbitrum’s Layer 2 solution.
2. Transactions: All the transactions on our platform  for various services like  minting usernames, donating to their favourite posts, and NFTs minting are conducted on the arbitrum one network. This integration encourages the use of arbitrum network within our community and helps increase transaction volumes on the Arbitrum network.
3.Donation :  Users can donate to their favourite content creators using the ARB native token in order to support them this integration will further enhance and encourage the use of ARB tokens. 

### Future Plans

1. Strengthening Arbitrum’s Foundational Infrastructure:
   - Decentralized Storage Integration: We plan to further optimize our use of IPFS for decentralized storage, enhancing the overall reliability and scalability of content stored and accessed on Arbitrum.
  - NFT Marketplace: We are also planning to launch an in app NFT Market place where users will be able to buy and sell their content that they minted as NFTs and it will all be launched and performed on the arbitrum network
   - Enhanced Security Measures: Implementing advanced encryption protocols and security features to ensure user data protection, thereby reinforcing the robustness of the Arbitrum ecosystem.

2. Improving Developer Efficiency :
   - Developer Tools and SDKs: We aim to develop and provide comprehensive SDKs and tools for developers looking to build on Stogram using the Arbitrum network. These tools will streamline the development process and enable faster deployment of new features and applications.
   - Collaboration and Open Source Contributions: By contributing to open-source projects and collaborating with other developers within the Arbitrum ecosystem, we will help enhance the overall developer environment and promote innovation.

3. Accelerating Adoption of Novel Applications:
   - NFT Marketplace Expansion: Expanding our NFT marketplace to include diverse digital assets, enabling creators to monetize their work and attract a wider audience to the Arbitrum network.
   - DeFi Integrations: Exploring integrations with DeFi protocols on Arbitrum to offer new financial services and products to our users, thereby increasing the ecosystem’s utility and appeal.
   - Cross-Platform Interoperability: Working towards interoperability with other Web 3.0 platforms and blockchains to broaden the reach and functionality of applications built on Arbitrum.

4. Increasing Daily Active Users (DAU):
   - User Acquisition Campaigns: Launching targeted marketing campaigns to attract new users to Stogram and, by extension, the Arbitrum network. 
   - Engagement Features: Implementing features that enhance user engagement, such as gamification elements, to retain and increase the number of daily active users.

5. Boosting Transaction Volume:
   - Transactional Incentives: Providing incentives for transactions within the platform, such as tipping posts, buying, and selling NFTs, which will be conducted using ARB tokens. 
   - High-Frequency Activities: Encouraging high-frequency activities, such as regular content posting and interactions, to drive up transaction volume on Arbitrum.


Through these initiatives, Stogram not only leverages the strengths of the Arbitrum network but also actively contributes to its growth and development. By enhancing the foundational infrastructure, improving developer efficiency, and accelerating the adoption of innovative applications. Our efforts will directly contribute to increasing the Daily Active Users (DAU), and overall transaction volume on Arbitrum.
