About

At Optimism, we're on a mission to scale Ethereum to the masses and sustainably fund public goods in the process! From the code to the values, we are Ethereum-aligned. We believe Ethereum has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most crucial coordination issues. Since our initial inception as a non-profit research group, we have sought to scale both its technology and values. At present the most pressing bottleneck to the growth of Ethereum is its performance and scalability. We are building the most elegant solution to this problem. We do this out in the open because we believe in open source and its ability to accelerate innovation. Not only do we improve Ethereum's performance by orders of magnitude, we donate 100% of the profits generated from doing so to Ethereum public goods. We do this because we believe the future of the open internet is too important to be left to chance. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation we're able to align private incentives with public good and create a positive-sum economic model that provides a sustainable future for the internet.

Superfluid is the leading asset streaming protocol that enables Web3 native subscriptions, salaries and rewards for DAOs and crypto-native businesses. It can be used to describe cash flows and execute them automatically on-chain over time in a non-interactive way. Superfluid streams transfer value in a constant flow over time between wallets, in a non-custodial and permissionless way. Streams are programmable, composable, and modular, allowing developers to build custom applications on top of the protocol. No capital is locked up, and all inflows and outflows are netted in real-time at every block without consuming any gas. Ongoing streams can be forwarded as they are received to both wallets and applications, eliminating delays and drastically increasing capital efficiency. Website | App | Docs | Twitter | Discord

About

The Streamr Network is a layer zero protocol for real-time data transport, delivering a bulletproof pub-sub messaging layer. The Network transports streams of messages from data publishers to subscribers, appearing to the user as a global publish/subscribe messaging service. It is similar in functionality to message queues, enterprise messaging systems, MQTT brokers, Apache Kafka, or pub/sub cloud messaging services. Your Ethereum account is your Streamr account and identity. Every data point on Streamr is Cryptographically signed with the Ethereum private key. Web3 projects can use the protocol in many ways, for example it allows the implementation of real-time features like chats and notifications, or collecting node metrics from a distributed network and sharing them on aggregate level to empower the community.

🥇 Build a DAO-powered DApp with Āut - 5,000 USD

A DAO-powered DApp is a new paradigm in building Decentralized Applications supported by a DAO behind the hood.

Description

This goes to projects using one or more of āut products for the DAO + DApp. We're mainly interested in Creative DApps (i.e.: Art, Music, Poetry, ...) or Public Goods DApps (i.e.: ReFi, NGOs, governance, ...). Functional uses of Āut we will consider are:

  • use āutID for Social Profiles, community or role-based membership
  • use dĀut decentralized authentication system for your DApp/Platform's login

Judging Criteria

From a technical standpoint, in order to be considered, each project needs to have a functional integration of Aut:

  1. Join Āut Hacker DAO & claim your ĀutID
  2. Expand your new DAO with Āut Expander, and give it the name of your project.
  3. Use at least one of the products in our product suite functionally in your DApp: - āutID - dĀut
  4. The integration needs to be functional and well described (on GitHub).

Main judgment criteria will be:

  • innovation
  • completion of the product
  • impact (social or otherwise)

Most innovative project/DApp using Aut for Public Goods, (H)Acktivism or Social Networking (local and otherwise) will have additional points.

Projects that are incomplete, or do not complete steps 1-to-4 won't be considered for the Prize.

Spruce lets users control their data across the web. We believe that the world is evolving toward one based on cryptography, networks, and digital economies that are user-controlled. Today, the dominant use case for user keys is the signing of blockchain transactions, but we think this barely scratches the surface of what is possible. Soon, the entirety of a user’s digital interactions will be based on their keypairs, and we’re unlocking this transition with our constellation of products. We meet users where they are, and empower them to use their existing keys to Sign-In with Ethereum, manage their digital identity, private storage, and more.

Spruce wants to encourage the creative use of Sign-In with Ethereum to build rich Web3 applications.

🏆 Spruce will be awarding teams that use Sign-In with Ethereum in their applications to meaningfully gate usage and access in certain ways, contribute to or extend our existing open-source libraries, or is generally a part of the core application flow.

 

  • 🥇 1x $1,000 for best use cases that use Sign-In with Ethereum for a meaningful workflow in an application.
  • 🥈 2x $500 for additional use cases in projects that integrate and use Sign-In with Ethereum.
  • 🧠 1x $1,000 for any meaningful contribution to a new or existing Sign-In with Ethereum library (such as extending our open source Discourse library).
