An introduction to Mina Protocol and SnarkyJS
02:30 PM GMT — Friday, Jul 21, 2023 in Workshop Room 2
Mina is the world’s lightest blockchain, powered by participants. Rather than apply brute computing force, Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to design an entire blockchain that is about 22kb, the size of a couple of tweets. It is the first layer-1 to enable efficient implementation and easy programmability of zero knowledge smart contracts (zkApps). With its unique privacy features and ability to connect to any website, Mina is building a private gateway between the real world and crypto—and the secure, democratic future we all deserve.
We will be providing prizes for zkApps built for Mina Protocol using SnarkyJS

Self-Sovereign Identity is the future. Use Polygon ID to represent identity-based information as verifiable credentials in your dapp so your users can prove access rights to dapp features without giving up their private data. Polygon ID is also excited to announce a brand new partnership with Dock.io that will allow you to securely extend the privacy of your Lens profile using Verifiable Credentials. Using Dock's REST API credentials can be issued a few API calls. Along with issuing credentials application developers can use the API to manage issuer profiles and create and import data schemas. Dock's tooling also supports non-developers through it's no-code solution Dock Certs which provides the same functionality via a web interface.
This demo shows you how to set up your Dock.io account and begin to issue VCs. Your task is to now leverage VCs to provide additional layers of privacy and security to your Lens Dapp.

The Blockchain Operating System (BOS) is Near's latest tech stack to decentralize the frontends of Web3 dapps from any chain. With BOS, you get the best of both worlds: decentralization & Web2-like UX/UI.
Best Frontend Component Built with BOS
🥇 First place: $3K (max 1) 🥈 Second place: $2K (max 2) 🥉 Third Place: $1K (max 3)
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 Waterloo 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).
Selection Criteria
Base Criteria (all submissions):
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:
You must explicitly apply for this prize during the submission process to be eligible to win
The best way is to search for components on near.org, view the source code & start forking away! All BOS components are entirely on-chain and open-source.

License Compliance: All submissions must be in accordance with the licensing terms of the open-source project.
2. Side Bounty: 600 USD
ProofService: Continue validation API
Description
ProofService is a zero-trust identity relationship creation/query protocol. We have a reference implementation called proof_server.
The binding relationship between a web2 identity and ProofService's web3 identity (named Avatar
) is done through cryptography signing and "Proof Post" mechanism.
Currently, if a user encounters a problem (e.g., client crashed / closed) submitting their proof post to the NextID server after posting it on target platform, NextID's process doesn’t allow the user to continue the process from this proof post with zero additional info.
We would like to add an API to allow users to restart the verification process from an existing proof post, without other info fetched from POST /v1/proof/payload
.
From now, all info needed for restart validation procedure is included in the proof post itself (incl. signature, UUID, created_at
timestamp, previous proof’s signature).
You need to create an API except only the proof post’s location, and recover the “site” only from proof post’s content, then continue validation and saving procedure just like a normal one.
Acceptance Criteria
An API (named by you), request with proof post’s location, platform and identity, response like POST /v1/proof .
Modify type IValidator interface
, add a new function: Continue() (err error)
for your core logic.
You can always use your own code structure design if you feel something is wrong.
Only one platform
implemented is OK. Starting with validator/twitter
is recommended.
Write test for your Continue()
function and API.
Winner setting
Will accept only 1 winner, judged by code quality and function completeness
The sole winner will be rewarded with 600 USD

Hyperlane is the first interoperability layer that enables you to permissionlessly connect any blockchain, out-of-the-box. With Hyperlane you can connect your app to any chain, and easily have interchain function calls or asset transfers. Hyperlane has a one of a kind modular security stack, that allows you to configure your security model, and customize the security protocol you use to fit the action of your users.
Browse ideas and suggestions on what you can build here: PROJECT IDEAS
🥇Top prize - $4,000 - Best use of Permissionless Interoperability
To qualify to win this prize you simply need to deploy Hyperlane on a new blockchain or Rollup. Once deployed, how you utilize your new-found interoperability capabilities will dictate how likely you are to win the grand prize! Could you be the first one to bring Hyperlane to Scroll? Or Fuel? What about other chains participating in the hack? You could even deploy to your own chain! The most compelling submissions will be those that have built an application through their deployment. Additionally an extremely compelling Interchain Application that does not leverage a unique Hyperlane deployment can be eligible as well. See below for more ideas about Interchain applications.
🎼 $2,000 - Best Interchain Application
An interchain application is an app that communicates between chains, it either transfers assets or has interchain function calls. The winner of this prize would be the most compelling application that leverages Hyperlane, and benefits from its presence on multiple chains!
💸 $2,000 - Best use of Hyperlane Warp Routes
Warp Routes are Hyperlane’s unique take on token bridging. They are unique and instanced expression of bridging as opposed to the traditional omnibus token bridge design. Each Warp Route can have its own security model, using Hyperlane’s Interchain Security Modules. Perhaps most importantly, Warp Routes are completely permissionless! No one can stop you from bringing whichever asset you’d like to any chain you’d like.
So how can you win this prize? While the only strict requirement is that you use Warp Routes in your submission, the more creative you get with it the better!
🌐 $2,000 - Write new Interchain Security Modules (ISMs)
Hyperlane’s Modular Security Stack is premised on a variety of available Interchain Security Modules that developers can use to secure how applications can communicate between chains. While a few ISM’s are already available, and more are in the works, the hackathon is a great opportunity to build new ones.

Flashbots is a research and development organization formed to mitigate the negative externalities posed by Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) to stateful blockchains. Our primary focus is to enable a permissionless, transparent, and sustainable ecosystem for MEV, via a three-pronged approach:
We have brought transparency through open MEV activity analytics and dashboard and public and open research, with the community, for the ecosystem. We have democratized access to MEV revenue with MEV-Boost that gives all validators access to MEV revenue on equal footing, with the support of a vibrant ecosystem of builders and searchers.
We have started distributing MEV revenue using the MEV-share protocol. This protocol returns 90% of captured MEV to users, wallets, and dapps, who can enjoy its benefits simply by sending transactions with programmable privacy to Flashbots Protect. MEV-share also poses a new challenge for searchers, as they must now learn how to compete for and execute against users' private transactions.
For this hackathon, we invite searchers to experiment with bot searching on MEV-share order flow. We invite builders to help onboard users, wallets, and dApps to Flashbots Protect and MEV-Share, so they can enjoy the benefits of MEV distribution. We also encourage builders to brainstorm on how to best utilize MEV-share and programmable privacy in other applications.
Where to find us: Website | Github | Forum | Discord | YouTube
💰 $2500 - most useful onboarding site for Flashbots Protect with MEV-Share
Flashbots Protect aims to be the best place to send transactions on Ethereum. It’s a transaction service that offers frontrunning protection, transaction reverts protection, configurable privacy and execution, and the ability to internalize MEV for everyday users when sending transactions on Ethereum, as simple as adding the Flashbots Protect RPC to their wallets.
Since its inception in Oct 2021, Flashbots Protect RPC had protected thousands of Ethereum users from the dark forest. Earlier this year, Flashbots Protect went through a major upgrade via MEV-Share beta, which provides configurable privacy and the ability for users to receive MEV refunds for the MEV they created in sending transactions. Last week, Flashbots Protect is turbocharged with a 4x speed improvement - users can opt-in to share their transactions with additional block builders that account for 80% of the market.
However, most resources on Flashbots Protect and MEV-Share are dense with information and difficult to digest for everyday users who could have benefited from using Flashbots Protect. Build a creative and intuitive onboarding site for Flashbots Protect.

Dfns is the most secure wallet-as-a-service infrastructure in Web3. Dfns offers an API-first wallet management system designed to provide application developers with secure, plug-and-play access to all blockchains. We designed the product with focus on developer experience to maximize programmability, minimize high-touch implementations, and provide granular sets of permissions, controls and policies via secure API credentials.The core security model of Dfns is based on a decentralized, MPC-driven key management network with built-in threshold recovery mechanisms. Dfns Labs is the PhD-led cryptography team that is pushing the boundaries of decentralized and trustless key management systems by making multi-party computation and threshold-based protocols more scalable, robust, and accountable.
May the best projects using Dfns win!

Lit Protocol lets you create and manage distributed cryptographic key-pairs for condition-based encryption and programmatic signing. A decentralized key management network, Lit can be used in place of centralized key custodians and other key management solutions.
Utilize programmatic signing in a novel way. We're looking for creative uses of programmatic signing that enhance web3 usability. That might look like abstracting away signing from an end user or automating signing based on different conditions. Some ideas:
