Bloom

Bloom is a solution-based platform built by builders for builders. It is meant to minimize time on researching and spend more on creating. The platform is bridging communication between the builders and the core developers to help both parties to build further, and faster. It is also created to incentivize contributors for helping their peers to solve the issues.

Benefits: -Bidirectional communication between protocols and builders -Validated responses. -No wait time to move on with the implementation of new ideas. -Incentive mechanism creates an engaged community of builders helping to build the ecosystem.

What problem are we solving? Currently, to build on a new technology you need to read an immense amount of documentation or search for answers from multiple unreliable sources. We all know in web3 things change pretty fast. Teams need to allocate resources and time trying to answer often repetitive questions or end up directing people to read the documentation. It also takes the developer's time from building to updating the documentation. That slows down the process for builders and core teams for the developers there is a lack of clarity and reliability on sources of information. Sifting through forums or trying to connect with the team on their social channels to get the answer is unclear, leaving them asking when to build. And there is no incentive to contribute to the community.

For the "community" teams, answering the question, especially technical's ones, takes developers time from working on a project and requires additional resources to monitor multiple channels.

For both parties, time is spent inefficiently instead of innovative.

This project uses technology provied by many of our sponsors:

For Login:

• WalletConnect the web3 communications protocol enabling wallets and apps to securely connect. The recently-launched WalletConnect v2.0 takes our interoperability promise one step further with multi-chain support, allowing developers to build and achieve compatibility across blockchains and roll-ups. We use WalletConnect to authenticate a user signing.

• Web3Auth simple, non-custodial auth infrastructure that enables Web3 wallets and applications to provide seamless user logins to both mainstream and native Web3 users. We used the technology to provide a seamless signing experience to our users.

• We used Lens Protocol to create a smart contract profile for our users. Lens Protocol is a composable and decentralized social graph. It lets creators take ownership of their content wherever they go in the digital garden of the decentralized internet. You own your profile, where you use it, how you use it, and even how you monetize it.

Polygon For our applications process, we are deploying our smart contracts on Polygon as it offers scaling and infrastructure support to Ethereum decentralized applications (dApps) and is not plagued by the high transaction fees and network congestion that impacts the Ethereum network. https://mumbai.polygonscan.com/address/0x40f8d46231a27a1c563a0582f44f1ca7b7762b4f

Lens on Polygon We have built a social dapp with Lens to create developer's profiles to keep track of their rewards and contributions.

Optimism: We wanted to make our platform multichain, and at Bloom we are super optimistic about open source contributions and builders communities. https://optimistic.etherscan.io/address/0x2b90d8acf86c00a6c52585dec4ead37728de8e29

IPFS & Filecoin will be used to store the data for the applications in a decentralized and easy-to-use manner. Filecoin is completely open-source, enabling developers from all over the world to use our protocol. We loved how easy and simplified it was to store our data and push it to our platform or discord.

Ethereum Push Notification Service (PUSH) we are using the decentralized communication & notification protocol for Web3. Using the protocol, both sponsors and developers can send on-chain or off-chain notifications tied to wallet addresses in a multichain, open, platform agnostic way- this is perfect considering we are using Polygon and Optimism . This will provide efficient, open communication for sponsors to hear about the deliverables being met and developers to get notified when funding.
