A new use case for NFTs: matchmaking NFTs, where tokens are minted with a soulmate and remain locked until the right holders come along.
SOLmates is an example of this concept, which combines social connections with blockchain technology to create programmable social bonds.
The use case aims to provide authentic and meaningful human connections by reintroducing intent and using blockchain's unique features.
Challenges include misconceptions about being another dating app, regulatory concerns, and scaling the matchmaking engine without compromising user privacy.
