The Graph is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data, making it accessible for dApps and the broader off-chain landscape.
Bounty details
As a hacker, you can participate in two categories:
- Best new subgraph(s): Build and deploy a custom GraphQL API that indexes data from a smart contract to query blockchain data to your dApp. Get started here.
- Best use of existing subgraph(s): Query an existing subgraph on Graph Explorer or the hosted service using the public query URL from the subgraph dashboard. Get started here.
- More info in the Hacker Resource Pack.
- Prize: $1,000 USD
Plurality Network offers an onboarding solution that aggregates variable user data from platforms for both on-chain and off-chain use cases.
Bounty details
- Best use of Plurality’s Social Connect widget:
- Onboard users to web3 and leverage the underlying open social context layer provided by Plurality in your dApp. Get started here.
- Enable web3 use cases that have yet to be explored because of the absence of user profiles and context in blockchain-based dApps. We’ve listed some use cases as a starter, but builders are welcome to think of more that can shape on-chain interactions.
- Prize: $1,000 USD
Plus… winners get a chance to pitch to Soonami for $125,000 in potential funding!
