About

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.

🤖 AI

Take advantage of Gnosis Chain’s decentralization and low network fees for your AI project. Demonstrate the power of AI on Gnosis Chain for a chance to win the AI bounty. Dynamic NFTs, distributed labeling, training, model marketplaces, anything is possible. Be creative (don’t just build one more pay-for-GPT app).

🌉 Hashi

Hashi is an EVM Header Oracle Aggregator designed to facilitate a principled approach to cross-chain bridge security. The primary insight is that most bridge-related security incidents could have had a minimal impact if the systems relying on them had built in some redundancy. In other words, requiring messages to be validated by multiple independent mechanisms, rather than just one, is much more secure. Be creative!

🔐 Safe

Build with Safe on Gnosis Chain to take advantage of "sponsored transactions". Made possible by Account Abstraction (AA), Gnosis Chain together with Safe sponsors all your users’ Safe transactions on Gnosis Chain. Use the gasless experiences that feel like web2 interactions.

Prizes

Polygon$20,000

ZM builders, we’re challenging you to hack with Polygon solutions to solve real-world problems.

🔀 $5,000 Best use of zkEVM

The Polygon zkEVM launched earlier this year, it's grown to hold a TVL of $50 million and continues to attract major protocols. For this challenge, we want to see your most innovative use of the Polygon zkEVM, this is an open challenge that will see the most innovative and deserving protocols, with killer UX carry the day!

Check out these resources to get you started.

❌ $5,000 LxLy Bridge zkEVM Extension

gm anon, or should we say ZM. At the heart of Polygon’s new 2.0 architecture lies the LxLy bridge. The Polygon zkEVM LxLy Bridge facilitates cross-chain communication across Polygon chains. We’re challenging you to create and extend the LxLy sample implementations and add support for different types of cross-chain messaging and assets transfer of custom ERC-20s and any other EIP/ERC you see fit such as ERC1155 etc. Check out the existing code samples and open a PR with your own contribution that facilities cross-chain communication.

Cross-Chain ideas from the Polygon zkEVM team 

  • Claim UI: Build a Dapp to allow users to connect and see all valid messages they have that are claimable on a given LxLy chain (Polygon zkEVM etc) and claim them!
  • Implement an OpenZeppelin Governor that allows token holders to vote on Polygon zkEVM with proposals that are still on Ethereum or Polygon PoS Create a snapshot strategy that accounts for token balance on Ethereum, Polygon PoS, & Polygon zkEVM
  • Build a zkEVM NFT project with mint logic that depends on owning an asset on Ethereum or Polygon PoS
  • Permissionless Prover: A smart contract that allows Polygon Labs to put up a reward for anyone who fills in as permissionless prover for when our infra goes down essentially a contract that has a function that checks whether a given verifyBatches() call was successfully called by anyone other than our trusted address, and if so, pays out some fixed reward it holds (MATIC tokens)
  • Or even extend these repos to cover LxLy Bridging https://github.com/ZeframLou/universal-bridge or https://github.com/aave/governance-crosschain-bridges/tree/master/contracts/bridges

🆔 $5000 Best use of Polygon ID's Verifiable Credentials to preserve user privacy

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.

Polygon ID resources:

  • Polygon ID Dev Docs and tutorials
  • How to run an Issuer to issue VCs: Video by Tony
  • Fullstack VC-gated dapp template with everything you need for your KYCAgeCredential gated dapp by Steph
  • 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.

Ideas from the Polygon ID team:

  • Anonymous voting - On-chain voting exposes the choices made by different public addresses. Create a hack that proves DAO membership with a VC while making sure members don’t double vote.
  • Social proof of influence or activity - Create a proof of influence issuer that issues VCs based on numbers of followers or number of posts across social platforms
  • Bot protection - Create a decentralized verification system providing individual VCs of liveliness & uniqueness that could be combined to prevent sybil attacks.

Lens Ideas:

  • KYC: Imagine if you can securely add KYC to your Lens dapp and be able to rely on the authenticity of that data
  • Lenster badges” from Polygon ID credentials: Import a Polygon ID credential and create a Lenster badge from it (Proof of Hacker, Proof of Human, Polygon Activist,). You could combine these with any of the credentials from WIW or any of the free credential issuers that use Polygon ID.

Lenster badge

🤝 $5,000 Best Public Good with Account Abstraction or Gasless transactions on Polygon

Create a permissionless public good dapp with an app-like UX by sponsoring your users’ gas fees using gasless transactions or by batching transactions into a single transaction. Learn more by reading up on ERC-4337: Account Abstraction and Gasless transactions.

Account Abstraction SDKs

Prizes

Hyperlane$10,000

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.

  • Integration within open-source wallets
  • Apps for DAO accounting
  • Browser extension for zkBob
  • Donation/fundraising/tipping apps
  • Privacy for P2P micro-transactions
  • Integration with DEXs/bridges/aggregators

We are also open to novel use cases which make sense for privacy-preserving transactions

Acceptance Criteria

  • Creativity, novelty, usefulness for end users and implementation quality.
  • Importance of zkBob integration to the overall application/product (i.e. is it integral to app functionality, usefulness and purpose or is it an add-on without a lot of added value).
  • Coherent integrations between zkBob and other existing protocols/dApps are appreciated
  • Alignment with the zkBob ecosystem values of on-chain privacy protection within accepted limits.
  • *extra credit will apply to solutions using other zkBob components on top of integration with direct deposits (zkBob SDK libraries, gift cards, compliance tooling, deep smart contract integrations, etc.)

  • Generating receipts of payments or events

Below are a few ideas to help inspire what you could build during a hackathon:

  • Social graphs based on attestation data
  • Sybil resistance use case for various types of verifications
  • Account Abstraction + Attestations for Authorization (ex. Requiring an attestation from the treasury manager to authorize a payment).
  • Dynamic NFTs based on attestation data and ERC-6651
  • Simple ticketing applications for meetups or events
  • Verify the authenticity of content in the age of AI
  • Zero-knowledge attestations using EAS + Sismo or other to prove you have an attestation without revealing the address that has it
  • Proof of anything like proof of attendance, proof of compliance, proof of skill.
  • Attesting to the roles in an online community
  • Subscription-based memberships using attestations that expire

Prizes

Next.ID & Mask Network$10,000

1. Main Bounty: Total of 9,400 USD

Best Use of RelationService - Develop the Next-Gen Application with a Portable Universal Profile

Prize Pool

1st prize (max 1): $3k USD

2nd prize (max 2): $2k USD

3rd prize (max 3): $800 USD

Description

Utilize the RelationService API (https://docs.next.id/relation-service/rs-graphql) to develop a use case that addresses market needs.

Strive to be as innovative as possible.

Recommended Use Cases (but not limited to):

Cross-Platform Profile Search and Recommendations

Get an understanding of what this involves and why it's useful by visiting web3.bio first.

For instance, consider linking a Twitter account with Mastodon using a DID.

Sybil Attack Resistance by Wallet History Verification

For instance, in a significant airdrop event, bot accounts controlled by a small group of people need to be filtered out, ensuring that each user claiming the airdrop is a legitimate individual user.

DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) Tooling

For instance, a DAO member's credentials can be made portable across different blockchain ecosystems.

For instance, when a new member joins, their existing social credentials can be immediately displayed, and different access levels can be provided based on their existing profile data.

Growth and Personalization

For instance, utilize a universal profile(Similar to this one: https://web3.bio/vitalik.eth) to identify potential user personas. Track social identities using wallet addresses and use this information to create look-alike audiences.

For instance, use a universal profile(Similar to this one: https://web3.bio/vitalik.eth) to solve the cold-start problem for apps. Allow users to invite their connections on Web2 by examining the wallet addresses they interact with.

Acceptance Criteria

Proof of Work: Submit either an open-source project published on GitHub for the judges to review, or if its business value necessitates confidentiality, share a private project repo address with us.

Relevance: Your use case should be pertinent and demonstrate a practical application of the RelationService feature within the DID protocol.

Protocol Compliance: Your use case must fully adhere to the DID protocol's specifications and accurately implement the RelationService feature.

Security: Your use case must prioritize data privacy and security. It should not introduce any security vulnerabilities.

Innovation: Creative or innovative applications of the RelationService feature are highly valued, even though not strictly required.

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

Prizes

NEAR$10,000

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):

  • 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)
  • BONUS: demonstrate BOS’ composability by embedding different (new or existing) components together in your interface to improve overall UX
  • BONUS: demonstrate BOS’ capacity to improve the user onboarding experience by integrating FastAuth

Getting Started

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.

Bounty #1: 🛠 Use Aragon OSx to solve a problem in your local community [$2,500]

👀 Description

  • Like many other projects in the ecosystem, Aragon came out of the need to solve some of the world's largest issues.
  • Corruption, climate change, terrorism - these are threats the world must solve together. And yet building together often requires trust among strangers and can lead to centralization of power.
  • To solve this, Aragon OSx is a DAO framework, enabling communities to manage their assets in a decentralized and trustless way.
  • Through its modular architecture, organizations can easily install and uninstall plugins into their DAOs, enabling greater transparency and equity within communities.
  • Through this prize, we want to see teams use crypto to solve a pressing issue within your communities - be it the oversight of a property or public good (like a park or a school), the incentive of certain collective behaviors (like using tokens for rewards and voting power), the management of assets for a specific mission, or any other idea that comes to mind!
  • Whether you decide to build your own plugin, dApp or custom DAO - we’re looking for fun, creative projects who want to leverage the power of on-chain governance to solve a problem in their local community and make the world a better place.

✅ Requirements

  • a) Must be a solution to a local problem or need (wherever local is to you) - i.e. park management, neighborhood elections, university clubs, etc.
  • b) Submission can be a dApp, an Aragon OSx plugin, or any other prototype.
  • c) Submission needs to leverage Aragon in some way (App, OSx, CLI, SDK).
  • d) Must submit a project description, a pitch including a demo, a Github repository with a README on how to run the project, as well as a working prototype.
  • e) Bonus points for creativity and innovation!

👩🏽‍⚖️ Judging Criteria

  • a) Having an innovative solution to a local problem
  • b) Understanding and usage of Aragon OSx
  • c) Meeting of the requirements
  • d) Bonus points for a user-friendly UX and good docs

Bounty #2: 💰Build a plugin that helps DAOs raise funds [$2,500]

👀 Description During the last bull run, DAOs proved to be a great mechanism for raising funds. Projects like ConstitutionDAO, for example, were able to show the world how raising funds in crypto could lead to “real-world” actions and impact. Some examples of characteristics that have made this possible:

  • a) DAO tokens added to liquidity pools. This enables DAO tokens to be instantly exchanged with other assets, granting them liquidity and value.
  • b) Bonding curves as a way of ossifying the relationship between token price and supply.
  • c) Rage quit functionality, meaning a person can leave the DAO and take a representative share of the treasury’s value based on how many DAO tokens they own.
  • d) Among other non-technical characteristics like good marketing, relatable mission, good roadmap, trusted team, etc.. With this bounty, we want to see an Aragon OSx Plugin that enables DAOs to raise funds easily - be it through facilitating any of the above mentioned examples, or through crafting your own strategy! All ideas are valid.

✅ Requirements

  • a) The submission should facilitate Aragon DAOs to raise funds
  • b) The submission should leverage Aragon OSx
  • c) The submission should be at least deployed to a testnet chain
  • d) Submission should include a demo and documentation on how to get the project up and running locally

👩🏽‍⚖️ Judging Criteria

  • a) Effectiveness of the solution to raise funds for DAOs.
  • b) Understanding and usage of Aragon OSx
  • c) Meeting of the requirements.
  • d) Bonus points for a user-friendly UX and great docs.

About

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: * Illuminate: bringing transparency to MEV activity. * Democratize: democratizing access to MEV revenue. * Distribute: enabling sustainable distribution of MEV revenue. 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

Flashbots$5,000

💰 $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.

Some elements you can incorporate on the website

  • A tool that shows the user the history of the wallet address’ interactions with Flashbots Protect
  • Statuses of user's Protected txs
  • User's MEV-Share refund total

Submission requirements

  • A functional and complete onboarding site
  • The website must have a one click button to use Flashbots Protect as RPC for the user’s wallet.
