EOS NATION CHALLENGE
Industries such as supply chain require very high volumes of transactions and geographical location. Leveraging the EOS blockchain allows developers to build smart contracts that can conduct extremely high TPS (transactions per second).
For this WyoHackathon challenge, EOS Nation is willing to sponsor a team that can provide a robust geospatial library/smart contract that would act as a protocol layer/framework for all future supply chain based EOS projects.

Write a wallet using
Longhorn API's.
Creating a wallet can be a time-consuming process. But where does the bulk of that time reside? To build a wallets functionality, the bulk of your time is going to be spent on setting up your node and sync’ing it. Longhorn helps you skip that entire process. Just generate a wallet address, use Longhorn to detect transactions, and send raw signed transactions to Longhorn for processing.
Write a wallet that can accept 4 coins: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dash, and Litecoin Testnet using Longhorn Block Explorer API's.
