Spark is on a mission to empower the DAI ecosystem by building DeFi infrastructure as part of the MakerDAO ecosystem.
DeFi Infrastructure
SparkLend: The DAI centric money market protocol. Combining the best liquidity directly from Maker and vertically integrating with the best DeFi protocols.
sDAI is a yield bearing stablecoin, representing DAI in the Dai Savings Rate (DSR) module, which distributes revenue from the Maker protocol to DAI holders.
SparkConduits allow for direct liquidity from Maker to protocols as part of the overall Maker Allocation System.
SparkDAO is a Maker Allocator subDAO that owns and manages Spark through decentralised governance. Its launch, alongside the other subDAOs, is scheduled for May 2024.
Prizes
▼
🌳 Best use of SparkLend ⸺ $6,500Delivered in DAI tokens
Best use of SparkLend, the DAI centric lending market. Among its features, the main value proposition is the ability to borrow DAI at a predictable rate, which does not change based on utilization (no sudden spikes!). The rate is defined by Maker governance and in doing so users know when the rate will change and also what the new value will be ahead of time.
Qualification Requirements
SparkLend must be an integral part of the project.
Avoid simply "depositing idle liquidity" with no purpose or one that is not directly tied to the main objective/value of the project.
💸 Best use of sDAI ⸺ $6,500Delivered in DAI tokens
Best use of sDAI, the yield bearing stablecoin built on top of DAI. It is the liquid representation of DAI in the Dai Savings Rate (DSR) module, which distributes revenue from the Maker protocol to DAI holders. sDAI is an ERC4626 token so it inherits the attributes of ERC20, except that at minting and burning there is no transfer event and instead you have deposit and withdraw events.
Qualification Requirements
sDAI must be an integral part of the project. Avoid simply "depositing idle liquidity" with no purpose or one that is not directly tied to the main objective/value of the project. If you replace sDAI with any token and the project's value does not change, then it's a good indication that there is not real value of sDAI being part of your project.
🚇 Best use of SparkConduits` ⸺ $7,000Delivered in DAI tokens
SparkConduits allow for direct liquidity from Maker to protocols as part of the overall Maker Allocation System. Conduits are adapters that plug in directly into protocols such as lending markets, allowing SparkDAO (or any other Maker subDAO) to provide liquidity directly.
Qualification Requirements
SparkConduits are meant to provide liquidity at a massive scale, so the project that makes use of them should have this aim in mind (note that a lot of projects cannot be scaled to the tune of millions and that is ok, but in that case we encourage you to look at SparkLend or sDAI in that case).

Axiom is the first ZK coprocessor scaling data-rich applications on Ethereum. Axiom gives smart contracts trustless access to all on-chain historic data and verified compute over that data.
With Axiom, developers can build on-chain applications that use data like historic contract variables, transactions, and receipts that smart contracts cannot access through the EVM. All results returned by Axiom are verified by a ZK proof, meaning that they have security cryptographically equivalent to Ethereum itself.
The Axiom SDK and frontend give teams with as few as a single developer the ability to build powerful apps making use of the latest advances in ZK. Developers can write and deploy their own ZK circuit, reference historic on-chain data, and integrate into their application, all through an easy-to-use Typescript interface.

① $3,000 ② $2,000 ×𝟹 ③ $1,000
BOS (Blockchain Operating System) is the easiest way to build and deploy your frontend on-chain by creating a JSX Component. All of the frontend source code on BOS is stored on-chain on Near, making your frontend fully decentralized and open-source. While the frontend is on Near, it can interact with smart contracts on any EVM chain in the backend. Components are also composable, meaning you can reuse and remix different components together and embed them into your dapp.
You are encouraged to incorporate this challenge into your submission for ETHGlobal Istanbul by creating a frontend component for your final project with BOS and deploying it on near.org. You can also build a custom BOS frontend for any existing EVM dapp as your final submission (see examples of BOS components for 1inch, Lido, or Uniswap, for inspiration).
Qualification Requirements
You must submit a link to your dapp or project with a live, working BOS Component
The component should prompt the user to connect their Ethereum Wallet of choice
The component should display on-chain data (e.g. account balance / tokens), and allow the user to make a transaction through it
The component should NOT be a simple fork of an existing BOS component with minimal changes
An outstanding submission is: A live working frontend component deployed to the Near mainnet that interacts with a popular protocol on the Ethereum mainnet, L2s, or other chain supported by Blocknative infra. Everything in production. A user connecting to the component with a wallet should be able to make a transaction on mainnet in addition to viewing data from a smart contract. The frontend should support the majority of the features in the protocol.
TLDR:
Comprehensiveness of functionality
Production-grade user experience
Code readability and reusability
BONUS: provide feedback on your experience of developing with BOS
BONUS: help evangelize BOS (e.g., contribute to docs, talk about it in presentations and/or social media)

TACo is an e2e encryption & access control plug-in that makes your Web3 application more secure, more private, and much more decentralized.
TACo's adopters operate in domains where compromising on trust reduction simply doesn't fly; seed phrase recovery, crypto-inheritance, enforcement of decryption rights for tokenized media libraries, transferring deployment/SSH keys, and concealing in-game assets. Beyond these, you can use TACo to build a decentralized password manager, a location sharing plugin, an encrypted livestream platform, or bundle it with a storage/database service - to name but a few ideas.
In general, TACo empowers application users to specify conditions for accessing their private data at encryption time. Only when those conditions are fulfilled – i.e. verified by a cohort of Threshold network nodes – is a data consumer provisioned with decryption material. It is the only conditions-based access control layer available to Web3 developers that is genuinely decentralized, via a live, well-collateralized and battle-tested network.
Prizes

🏆 Best formal specification of a project ⸺ $5,000
① $2,500 ② $1,500 ③ $1,000
To qualify for the Certora Prize, write a formal specification for your project and test it with the Certora Prover. Your project could be anything as long as the smart contracts are written in Solidity.
Qualification Requirements
Our judges will assess the specification based on the following criteria:
Soundness - the spec should correctly describe the desired behaviors of the code. Abstraction - a good spec should describe high-level properties of the code and not just “unit-tests.” Security coverage - a specification that can prevent bugs in different components and of different types would be rated higher. Correctness - the specification should be a valid input to the Certora Prover, and we can trigger a run with it. Note - please send your specifications even if the Prover halts on your runs or finds violations!
Submission
A link to your prover runs. Adding comments to your specification will increase your chances of earning a reward.
A link to your project’s repository, that should contain documentation about your project
Arx allows you to create experiences that blend digital & physical using secure NFC chips. HaLo chips generate Ethereum compatible signatures that can be used to link physical things on chain, mint NFTs or store assets. HaLo chips are decentralized meaning no oracles or hidden APIs are required. Leverage open source tooling like libHaLo to scan chips from a web browser and the Ethereum Reality Service ("ERS") to link chips on chain resources.
