6 min readOct 23, 2022

Magic square is the first community driven crypto app store for all crypto activities. It is the world’s first Web3 solution to simplify crypto, with a built-in DAO mechanism that creates a highly secure and accessible environment for all dApps, CeDeFi, NFTs, Games, and more, in one single place.

The team behind Magic Square are blockchain veterans, experienced software developers, and seasoned crypto enthusiasts. Since its inception, Magic square has held onto their ultimate goal which is to gradually influence a widespread adoption of decentralized applications, cryptocurrencies, and Web3.0. The project aims to improve the quality, security, and integration of crypto apps globally, and introduce a new level of user experience to the industry.

To achieve this, Magic Square is focused on providing a user-friendly, holistic interface for people to discover, use, and connect to community-vetted crypto applications as well as communicate with app-centered communities.

Magic Square has released the first-ever DAO marketplace for crypto apps that relies on a community of users and developers for app quality control in order to eliminate inappropriate apps and scams. Within the Magic Store, users have a personalized dashboard called Magic Spaces where they can effortlessly access all of their crypto apps in one space, easily and securely. Users can also track every activity across their crypto apps and engage with the Magic Square Community.

Magic Square is also building the first multi-chain Software Development Kit (SDK) that enables creators to develop, validate, deploy, market and monetize their crypto apps.

MAGIC SQUARE PRODUCTS

Magic Store:

Through this product, users can manage all of their crypto apps in the same way as the Apple App Store or Google Play Store; users can download their apps, use them across devices, and access them in one click of a button. The Magic Store will feature all kinds of apps including DeFi (trading, wallets, lending\borrowing, insurance/reinsurance, custody, and more), NFTs and GameFi.

Within the magic store, users can earn rewards just for downloading and using apps. Each day, Magic Square will allocate rewards based on the personal ranking of the user, their “Karma Score”. This unique model allows users to earn SQR tokens without investing their money, just their time. In addition, users with the highest monthly scores will receive extra rewards as special NFTs.

Magic Spaces:

In a bid to improve the user interface with blockchain technology by creating a single, integrated, interoperable experience, and make the platform extremely easy to use and accessible, Magic Square invented Magic Spaces.

By adding crypto apps or widgets to well-customized personalized spaces, community members will have an improved way of interacting with all of their favorite crypto apps. Users do not need to switch between websites or crypto apps on your phone, they can just navigate within your Spaces and select what crypto apps they want to use with one click.

Magic Spaces is available and fully synchronized across all your devices such as desktops, web browsers, and mobile devices.

Magic ID:

The Magic Square identity system gives, members the ability to use their digital wallet and authenticate their own identity using the credentials they have been issued. This way, their identity stays private with SSI (Self-Sovereign Identity). Now they can log into their apps and access new goods and services while maintaining complete control of your identity. This helps to protect the personal information of users from hackers.

Magic Affiliates:

Magic Affiliates uses a service-oriented method and proprietary infrastructure to achieve best results. With Magic Affiliates, the first network dedicated to Blockchain & Web3 projects, users will enjoy instant payouts, 24/7 support team, real time tracking, and full two-way API support.

Magic Community:

Magic Community is a well-designed, easy-to-use internal communication platform of the Magic Square community. Through the internal communication channels that is dedicated to all the topics related to Magic Store, Apps, and Spaces, community members can vote, interact with the app developers, create new groups and chat with each other.

In addition, Magic Community allows users to participate in challenges formed by creators of the apps or by the Magic Square Team. These challenges help to increase engagement with the apps and bring more value to creators.

Magic SDK:

Magic Square is developing a comprehensive and user-friendly SDK (Software Development Kit) that allows creators to easily enhance their apps and provide more valuable services to their client base. This product supports the most common programming languages such as

Java/Node JS/C++. This helps to eliminate the need for developers to learn obscure languages like RUST.

Since the SDK is an open source, developers can add

more tools that will be used by the community of developers. These tools will be vetted by certified partners and added to the public list of available tools. Creators can use an increasing amount of SDK tools to improve their development process in the best way. The set will include but not be

limited to the following list of essential tools:

  • Payment system with subscription model
  • Wallets
  • Trading data aggregation
  • On-Chain data
  • SSI (Self Sovereign Identity)
  • Staking of tokens and NFTs
