Unifi Protocol - Stability Challenge (2)

1st Place: $500 USDC
2nd Place: $250 USDC

Challenge: If blockchain technology didn’t need to be monetized, what would you build?

What Stability wants you to answer is, what can blockchain do? As of now, the dominant use cases are the trading and speculation of cryptocurrencies. As a developer, content creator, or someone who signed up to do this for fun, what would you build if cryptocurrency was not the focus? What if the use of blockchain technology is the goal?

Stability believes blockchain has a crypto problem, with token volatility and inflation creating roadblocks to adoption. Imagine a blockchain where transaction fees are paid in a stablecoin, where users are not incentivized to hoard gas tokens but rather spend them for interacting with developer applications.

That is what Stability is building, and the backdrop for your challenge.

In the spirit of Stability, we are looking for applications that serve as a use case for blockchain outside of cryptocurrency. Think of a public good, an artistic creation, a specialized database, or anything that could benefit from using the blockchain that does not focus on monetization. It’s wide open!

Marketability - The potential audience of your project, and if people will be willing to perform transactions to your project. Simply, is this a project that individuals or companies would use?

Engagement - The amount of transactions your potential audience will perform. As in, is your audience incentivized to keep coming back and engaging with your project?

Novelty / Originality - Did you just copy somebody’s Github? Don’t do that.

HyperCycle.AI Challenge (OPTION A) - Build Privacy Preserving Social Reputation

$500 USDC Prize

An app-based capable of enabling the host to generate a unique invitation
passcode that no one can prove that it originated from the app unless the app
owner wants certain service to know whoever created the number is eligible to
contact the host. Why? Well let’s say you meet someone and don’t want to give
your number but the ability for this person to contact you. Also you want to be
able to rate that person in case you want to invite that person to a party, club or
whatever function. That code can work and the host of the party would know with
100% certainty it is authentic.

HyperCycle.AI Challenge (OPTION B) - Cardano/HyperCycle.AI: Build Admin panel for controlling Neurodes / HyperCyclodes

$500 USDC Prize

- Research some of the open source panel (decide on one)
- Each Neurode stems from an NFT on Cardano, Ethereum, Algorand and Bitcoin
soon - - For the hackathon Cardano
- Visualization should use E64 tree in how those nodes can grow to grow their
ecosystems of Computers by gaining ratio of 2 as a product of Computation,
Reputation and Uptime.

Earth64 Data Structure Challenge: Build Bitcoin based smart contract for NFT

$500 USDC Prize
- Research who’s doing NFT on Bitcoin
- Bitcoin NFT thread to E64
- Specific Smart Contract Functions On Bitcoin capable to do most of what the existing
(ETH Earth64, Algorand Earth64 and Cardano’s HyperCycle)
