"Project description (please explain how your project works): We are building Web3-native Programmatic Ad Network. And as a part of it, we want to create and share with community an open-source user growth tool to help web3 startups acquire and retain users with high efficiency. This product will allow accomplish 3 main things: - track power users (the most valuable users) of a smart contract (by mapping smart contract methods and arguments to an engagement scoring model) - create…

Project description (please explain how your project works): TL;DR: The overarching goal of this grant is to propose to Optimism DAO to evaluate (and at a later stage implement) how to implement front-running and censorship protection via a shielded/encrypted mempool by threshold encrypting transactions until they’re signed by the sequencer. The problem we’re aiming to solve: Front-running and censorship are huge threats to the base layer neutrality of Ethereum and the L2…

We are building tools that enable NFT communities on Optimism acquire ENS sub-domains at zero cost. This is accomplished via utilizing an ENS feature called wildcard resolution. Our suite of tools allows anyone with an ENS name to link it to a collection and provide the NFT holders with free subdomains that are immediately compatible with popular wallets e.g Metamask & Trust wallet. Developers will also be able to utilize our open-source tools to build collection-specific ENS integrations

This project provides a no-code solution for builders and community members to…

Project description (please explain how your project works): We are building infrastructure to enable developers to connect web2 and web3 applications, including a selection of common white-labelled contracts. Our solution will be one simple API/SDK for engineers and a no-code web app for non-engineers to create automated web2/3 workflows. This simplifies the creation of workflows and repetitive tasks, such as transaction orchestration, user profiling, community incentives, CRM, handling…
