Restore and harden a no-wallet demo journey for judges and first-time users #282
Description
Summary
The current authenticated flow does not provide a persistent no-wallet demo path. The project needs a reliable sandbox experience that can be used during demos, judging sessions, and product discovery without any blockchain funding requirement.
Why this matters
A standout hackathon project should be easy to experience immediately. A polished demo mode reduces onboarding friction and makes the product easier to evaluate in live judging environments.
Proposed work
- Add a dedicated demo mode with explicit banner/state management.
- Provide mock or fixture-backed data for feed, stats, notifications, balances, and sample tipping flows.
- Simulate transaction lifecycle states with realistic fake transaction IDs and confirmation timing.
- Add a clear transition path from demo mode into live wallet connection.
- Ensure demo mode does not leak into real local wallet state.

- Demo mode clearly indicates that no real funds are used.
- Switching from demo mode to live mode is explicit and resets demo state cleanly.
- Automated tests cover the primary demo entry and exit flow.
