03:00 PM UTC+8 — Friday, Sep 20, 2024 in Workshop Room 3

Nethermind builds and secures core Ethereum infrastructure. We develop the Nethermind execution client, contribute to network upgrades, and advance protocol work across rollups and zero-knowledge systems. Our teams combine full-stack Ethereum expertise with security audits, formal verification, and emerging work in verifiable, privacy-preserving digital identity.
This bounty invites innovators to explore the synergy between artificial intelligence and blockchain data. Participants are encouraged to investigate various intersections, including but not limited to: Developing machine learning models to analyze blockchain data Designing AI solutions to identify Sybil attacks in airdrops Creating models to detect vulnerabilities in smart contracts Leveraging blockchain data to train specialized AI agents Surprising us with your creativity!
Nethermind invites you to build on Starknet. Build what? Absolutely anything! Yes, that's right. Absolutely anything! The most useful and creative project wins! Think about a Smart Contract that does something unique, something that doesn't exist on Starknet yet, or an integration of some kind, perhaps a tool that helps others access Starknet data.
Nethermind invites you to build MEV infrastructure to help align MEV in Starknet!MEV, or Maximal Extractable Value, is a concept in blockchain that refers to the maximum value that a miner, validator, or block producer can extract from manipulating the order, inclusion, or exclusion of transactions within a block. MEV is neutral, and when properly built and accounted for the positive forms of it support healthy markets and good pricing for retail users, which is critical for adoption. Some positive forms of this are solver infrastructure like Cowswap or UniswapX, or mempool infrastructure like flashbots.Due to Starknet’s current architecture MEV strategies that relies on gas manipulation or transaction ordering are less effective, but there are other ways to support healthy markets!As Starknet decentralizes, this will be more and more important to take into account for dAPPS.Your task is to find one of this ways and implement an application that leverage Starknet’s unique characteristics.This can include: Starknet MEV Mempool dAPP infrastructure that allows dAPPS to integrate MEV Similar to Privy as wallet infrastructure Intent Markets Support solvers providing best pricing for retail users New and novel ideas! This field is being heavily researched, and new ideas are welcome!
