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.At Optimism, we're on a mission to scale Ethereum to the masses and sustainably fund public goods in the process!

Superfluid is an asset streaming protocol that enables subscriptions, salaries and rewards to 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 are programmable, composable and modular. The first cash flow types allow constant streams of value and one-to-many distributions. All streams are settled at the same time, based on block timestamps. No capital is locked up, and all inflows and outflows are netted in real time, drastically increasing capital efficiency. A curated suite of developer tools is available, ranging from extensive documentation on the smart contract framework, to SDKs for easy integration (Solidity, Typescript, Redux), to a developer Console to query all needed data during testing and debugging.Superfluid is an asset streaming protocol that enables subscriptions, salaries and rewards to DAOs and crypto-native businesses.

Prizes
🏆 Evmos is offering:
🥇 Grand Prize: $2,000
- This prize will be rewarded to the team that builds the most innovative application that shows off the unique abilities that Evmos has to offer.
✨ 2x Honorable Mentions: $1,000 each
- These prizes will be rewarded to the best projects deployed to or supporting the Evmos ecosystem.
Any project that meets one of the following criteria is eligible for any of the prizes mentioned above. To jumpstart the growth of the Evmos ecosystem, we are created a helpful list of topics that may be eligible for the Evmos prizes during ETHAmsterdam:
- NFT: Build an NFT smart contract project, Marketplace (dApp), or other supportive tooling (e.g. NFT fractionalization, rentals, etc.) to support the burgeoning NFT ecosystem on Evmos. Judges will be looking for projects with a usable UI and broad support for multiple Ethereum NFT standards.
- Wallets: Build an EVM+Cosmos+IBC-compatible wallet that integrates Evmos’ JSON-RPC and gRPC services and is able to display ERC20 tokens, Cosmos coins, and IBC vouchers. Bonus points: Multisig support, WalletConnect V2 support.
- Dashboards and Visualizations: Build a block explorer for displaying Cosmos data alongside EVM data (transactions, blocks, etc). Judges will be looking for projects that push the envelope on “seamless cross-chain UX”.
- EVM DeFi: Port an existing open-source DeFi smart contract project or build and deploy your own DeFi smart contract application onto Evmos. As with the NFT challenge, your smart contracts must have a usable UI. Support integrations with as many other projects as possible for maximum consideration.
- IBC-EVM interoperability: Build an IBC SDK application module to be deployed on Evmos, that is able to handle EVM or smart contract interoperability between two connecting chains that integrate the Ethermint library’s EVM module. The module should be able to process cross-chain contact calls.
- Cross-chain (Ethereum/EVM) challenge: Port or build an EVM bridge and deploy it on Evmos so that Ethereum assets (ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155) can be bridged to the Evmos EVM and vice versa.
