GMGM and or afternoon or what have you this is at Empowell thanks everybody for joining and really looking forward to this community space and so it's as good as we make it let's make it really good how can we
do that. We can tweet it out. We can just have a candid conversation. I'm looking forward to learning in public, as they say, about some really cool projects. I already see one project
Founder requesting to come up. So I'm going to make that happen with my little fingers here, but that's the, it's in no particular order, but yeah, come on up, tell us what project you're working
on and whatever else you'd like to talk about if you want your background or what project, stuff like that, context, or a quick open data community shell, open data community spun out of Gitcoin dedicated to using data for good.
Right, to protect Web 3, we do have a hackathon ongoing right now. And I may shell it in a little bit later as more people join as well. But I see we have a friend up on stage and I'm approving someone else here as we go, but you want to take it away. Tell us about yourself and your project.
Hello, hello. Thanks a lot for inviting me. I hope that my mic is not talking to anybody on issues. I'm. You sound good. Awesome. I'm Matthew. I'm in Web 2. I'm 08. It's my pseudonym.
I worked for Gitcoin for a year and a half as a reviewer and then became the grant eligibility leader and I kind of were more hats than that but since they transitioned to a more data driven DAO and approach like I departed.
and joined ODC and luckily Evan and Sean and everyone here created an environment that allowed us to spawn some projects which are called Sandbox projects. They're independent projects. They
are kind of organically created and I am working on, of course me and our team are working on a grant review dashboard that hopes to kind of alleviate and automate at least part of the grant review process.
or like, does helping keep going and also helping grantees. The idea is that I'm kind of hoping to leverage my experience after reviewing 3000 grants, something like that, and kind of
taking that knowledge and helping the people that kind of know Python and how to build Legos because the dashboard functions on Legos that we hope to display and we'll create a logic that
Hopefully we'll end up helping everyone involved in the grant program. That's kind of the project.
Yeah, thank you and and I know a little bit about it so I'm a little bit biased and I should say one thing I'm not exactly a whale here, but you come up on stage take the time to do
do it, share what you're up to, I'll at least donate something. And again, may not fully move the needle, but the magic of quadratic funding is all of these donations should
help. So thank you and your project is called the what grants review dashboard should we call it the GRD what's the name again so people can find it and where do they find it on the grandstrand or elsewhere.
Yeah, it's called the Grants. If you dash more than it's we're we're yeah, of course I forgot like we're participating in the Phantom Menace round and hopefully also the upper source round but we had some issues there hopefully they they will get fixed if not
I will show the link in the chat after I figure out a way to send it to my phone. Beautiful. We might circle back around to you here, but thank you. Great intro. Yeah, Phantom, Menace.
Also called, at least when you look at the screen, you see it as a symbol around the future ground, kind of on the right side as you scroll down. And you see it there. Loonco, welcome. Thanks for coming up.
Yeah, thanks for holding the events. This time we do not have enough Twitter spaces and have a strong feeling like during Githubon 15 and even during Alpha we had much more Twitter spaces. Thanks for holding
I want to ask everyone we need to push forward the gitcoin so guys let's read with the link to this Twitter space. It's really easy to do you have to click on
your bottom left on your comments, sorry on the comments in the bottom left part of the screen and hit repeat button. Actually I've just did it right now. So oh yeah and actually my name
is a road you can see my avatar here as well. I am a mathematician and computer scientist by trade. My profession is called the system engineer.
Nine years ago I just graduated as a university and I was thinking what should I do in my life, like what to the purpose of my life. And I was thinking really hard and I came to the idea as I'm quite not a guy who really like science
like physics biology and all of that stuff. I decided that I want to become a professional space engineer. Far too years ago I was able to join the UK company SpaceBit as a chief operation officer.
And at some point in time I had to become a senior systems engineer because I had the right background. Hopefully I made the force a pair of green lenders by an American company, AstroBotic, would be launched to the moon because on that lenders there is a
device that I was in charge of the process when I worked for SpaceBit. Last year I had to quit the company and I found it long ago. So long ago is a platform for
industrial and robotics engineering. So if you have projects who are related to hardware, maybe they'll be interested in long piece, especially if those guys knows how manufacturing work, long-address at one of the main issues, how
to exchange data between subcontractors of the design, specifications and things like that. So thanks for the opportunity back to you. Nice. We're congrats on the fingers crossed on the launch that's next week, right?
Yeah, I like how the day one more thing want you might do. I'll be in. Um, I linked to to Lucas Grant. It's actually on the side and the metacrisis to. Uh, John, but, and of course, like, you had good idea.
Can you do that? That would be great. Is that where you're listed or where Lungco is listed by the way? Metacrisis and what did you say, DSI?
Yeah, it's a metacrisis and desire. I also applied to climate solutions because basically I really like the community there and they have a lot of great projects that places hardware engineering.
That's like kind of a lot to use the project. Nice. Oh, and by the way, Ziri, I'm really looking forward to your dashboard. I really want to know who actually then it's to look and I think your dashboard could help a little bit.
with it and actually it will hopefully help you in the presentation of the process. So we have a great project. Yeah, it is incredible. The amount of work I was just coming in.
to volunteering at Gickwing and I think thanks to you zero eight I got an NFT or something for being a volunteer grant reviewer one one season and I did like a very little bit
And but I learned I learned the massive amount of work that goes into actually reviewing grants on the front end. And it's it's a labor of love for a lot of people in and around the Kikuan community. So had to to obviously been
White is one of the most notable folks now. Zero eight has run that team for years in the past or that effort, that community. So it's a big effort and why not use software? Why not use algorithms? So it's a pretty cool time.
Yeah, but I'll get off my show. You're not here to hear me. Sorry, I did not get you up here. I'm clicking. Yes, I did a latte is a project. I'm also really excited about learning about and just I noticed you also have a relationship with
I think or at least ocean protocol is tweeting about you. So amongst other things if you wanted to touch on that that would be awesome but a stage is yours and thank you so much for joining us our friends at Data Latte. Hi, Paul. Hi,
Coiners, opened each community. My name is Emir, founder of Data Latte and maybe just a little bit short about my background when I come to Data Latte, what we have been doing for the last one half
And how happy I am to actually see Open Data Community. Since yesterday I checked out the website, the hackathon, and everything been doing there. Now like well, man, I should have seen this earlier. And I was talking with our engineers today about the civil resistance hackathon and how
We need to get on this and also collaborate with the other partners there for some solutions. So basically just to cut it short, going back. I'm here. My background, I'm a chip designer by education. I did my PhD in Berlin.
In the middle of my PhD I realized I don't have any interest for physical engineering, so I went to protocols. And since then I dig a lot into data, decentralization, and anything Web 3. And I saw that the intersection of Web 3 data and AI is
where I want to go. And after some research got to know Ocean Protocol and then found the data latte. And what basically we do with data latte is we anonymize tokenize and monetize personal data. And our main mission
is to increase the revenue for the users to be able to earn from your data. Lunko, I see that you raised your hand if you have questions or anything you want to add to school ahead then. I just want to say that I have acquired a similar story to yours, but
it's the opposite. My career started as a software engineer and mathematician and now I'm more focused on hardware because interesting facts maybe because the grass is always greener on the outside. Yeah exactly. I mean as a hardware engineer, especially
chip design you do something it takes you like a one year to a year to lay it out then you send it to a fabrication in Taiwan and then one out of million you have a tiny mistake and then the whole project it should be redone so with software it's just easier you know to do it again and again
And let me just add that's exactly why I'm building WUNCA because just to speed up the process of development of iterations, design iterations and information. Sorry for shooting, but just I think you are
There are not so many people who do understand all the problems related to that, but I really think I do understand what you're talking about in general, not only about hardware, but about everything. Yeah, thanks, thanks to you, thank you. So just coming back to
what data is. So basically we have one mission and that is to earn money for people who are there on data. And it's not like a hidden track for any of us that Big Tech got big because of our data and they've been massively profiting from it. And now I'm
days you can see even that something like OpenAI comes up with the whole purpose of our data on the internet and we see that some companies like Reddit are now claiming that they should get paid for training on their datasets which is not their data
is our data set. This is our content on the internet that they're profiting and basically that goes back into giving ownership to users their data and once we have that ownership when we establish the infrastructure, then it's possible to monetize it with
our privacy, our consent, and to be able to earn money from it. And the way we do it in the data lot is really simple. You can go to our DAP today. We have two surveys, which you basically answer to surveys. And
simultaneously and anonymously you're tokenizing your data. And the first survey that we launched was with collaboration with Ocean Protocol that after interviewing the team and designing like a
an objective for the survey with our partners, we designed the survey and now we are conducting it. So basically users, once they take part in the survey, not only they save their data in a self-solver way, but also
they earn a data token, which means that anytime somebody buys from the server pool they get paid. They also earn bounties in form of ocean token and also they earn XP's which is a reputation token.
our native gap reputation talking. And this is what we do. We are putting up other surveys and we already designed a survey for kid coin donors and the objective of this survey is actually how projects can build a long-lasting
in relation with their donors and how we can engage donors more with the projects. And we're going to launch this survey really soon. We're going to talk and get it against CBL attacks with Gitcoin Passport and we're also going to
on to soon. And if anybody else in the public could space needs to conduct a survey, or even if you need help with designing survey, we are more than happy to help you and bring it up to the speed and put it out to the community to respond.
Yeah, I think I already talked enough. Thanks a lot, Paolo. That's great. That is really interesting and I thought really well.
described as well. So to play it back a little bit, understand the overall space, making it quite concrete where you've got these surveys
that are valuable, right? We aggregate the wisdom of the crowd. And you as a survey respondent can actually then get, I can't remember the name of the reputation token, and maybe some other rewards.
for actually sharing your perspective, your opinion, your experience. Then presumably on the other side, it would be a bit double-sided or so if I, let's say, I am gay coin or whatever, I want to run a survey and get this amount of
results at least statistical significance or whatever, whatever. I would then, how does a revenue model work? What I then buy some of those tokens and then like, I don't know, how does it work? Yeah, sure. So basically I put aside that reputation token, this is a
a little bit of a gamification we have in our economics with data baristas and so on. But basically there are two other earning models. One earning model is the old fashioned way. Let's say you want to conduct a survey as a market researcher. You go to somewhere like usability hub, survey
monkey, you put up your survey, you choose your respondent pool and average you pay around like a dollar per respondent and they're conducting the survey and the what the respondent gets out of their dollar is a cent on a dollar or maximum to five cents and it's not
even actual money. They get it in form of gift cards or Amazon coupons and so on. So what we do is that we are bringing 80% of that respondents' revenue back to the respondents like from what the survey published or gives and that's
is also adjustable. So when we are scaling we will lower down this fee and give it more to the respondent. And the second model of earning that does not exist in the old fashioned way is if you may call it passive income. And that would be to
make this data reusable for other researchers. So usually when you conduct a survey you get the responses. That responses, that response poll is in your custody and also in the survey conductor, which usually of the case the survey
and the person who is conducting the survey doesn't have an incentive to share it. But what we're doing, we're anonymizing the data, we put it on a decentralized marketplace like ocean, so any research
can come and consume that data and this way you're creating a passive revenue for the survey respondents. So the answer wants the survey but maybe that is interesting for other people. So they keep coming, they're buying into it and this way you're creating a passive revenue. And this
The key here is really to be able to make this data consumable to create this passive income meaningful. Our target is we want to reach to $5 a day for our users to feel an impact if they're from even in Europe.
But what you're seeing is that with the current trend of the technology is that these LLM models, they already are trained on the purpose of Internet. And what they're really hungry for is humans' opinions. And if we bring humans' opinions in a form of vector database,
prepare it for this language models to easily train on it, then it incentivize the respondents to give their opinions and also it creates much easier consumption for any researcher, market researcher to academy researcher to be able to consume this type of data.
Do you sort of pre-invented it, or you've at least gotten it into the vector database as well? This is a heck of a rabbit hole. It's really fascinating.
to be honest. So maybe I'll just hit you with how do you based on what you know about the open data community so far? How do you think? And I should have asked
Remember your name, but Lune co as well, like how could open data community potentially help? Is one question to think about. Other thing I'll just shout out to Othman Protocol for the first time in this hackathon, the ongoing hackathon.
We, the open data community are putting likely cibles and be 100% sure, but likely cibles lists of them accessible via ocean. And this is really a way for folks to back up.
backtrane, backtest their models, etc. And yeah, it's a little weird in a sense because it's like open data, but to get better at you know, finding symbols, we need to make some of the data slightly less open so that yeah,
Anyway, the obvious doesn't happen like you know you have folks just running or automated cybles running automated scripts to like You know kill their wallets that show up on our civil list, right? So we want to increase the cost of them actually getting access to You know
lists of folks including themselves. But anyway, yeah, if you have any thoughts on how open data community can be helpful, please share them. And then also others who want to come on up, raise your hand, happy to get you up here. But any quick thoughts on that?
I mean, with Open Data community has been a day that I saw the website and there are many things that can go to my mind of how to collaborate with this community. But I'm just pretty sure for our project is just the beginning of seeing how we can collaborate further
with the open data. And the fact that you guys are so strongly working in the civil defense strategies, I guess this is like a place where a lot of protocols should really put their attention on, especially ourselves. We're giving you with bounties and other incentives.
to fill surveys and we already had few civil attacks on our application since the last week in the year using really simple measures, but we are really educating ourselves for some advanced techniques to be able to use machine learning perhaps to detect some of these behaviors.
Yeah, there are package Legos that have some algorithms that have done well in the past that are somewhere on our in our docs.
can find some of those as well. And where again can folks find you in the Gekoyne rounds? Yeah, I'm going to try to put my tweet on the comment section of this
with your space. Beautiful. We would be really happy for people to donate and also when we bring the get coin survey, we would be happy to get your opinions and monetize it for you. That's what you're here for. And yeah, with that.
I will open it up for anybody else to come to the space, talk to our projects. Yeah, thank you. That was excellent. Look for the collaborating with you more. And I think we have Pao Pao joining us. So, I'll kick it over to you.
over to you, it will disclose that Palpau has contributed to the open data community and has created some of those logos that we were just talking about. So yeah, why don't you take it away if you'd like Palpau and welcome
Yeah, hello everyone. Thanks for hosting everyone.
Yes, so I can present myself a bit so
and Bobo, sad animus, also, my real name is Gio. I have been a joint was based in October with the Hakaton, the Gidkain Hakaton about
CbDslaying. So firstly I made an analysis about how we can use time series analysis to explore transactional data from contributors and then from there I started
I joined the Open Data community just after the Akaton and from there I just contributed basically every day weeks. And during the second Akaton in January, I
developed for the data, the hackathon, the civil package that helps any Python developer or anyone that would like to analyze, uh, civils or addresses to just with a pip
install and don't know the package that can reach with data, transaction data from a blockchain. Well, it's not completely decentralized because it's using Frips app crypto API.
Then using the data retrieved from Flipside Crypto, we can analyze what the transaction is there any link between the addresses that contributed to the grounds.
basically the package I started building during that ark atom and right now I'm pushing forward the project by submitting the project to the the fountain monnais
the CB ROM. So anyone can contribute and if they think this is valuable for the space and for fighting, CB is everywhere and more easily.
Excellent. And and this is a shout out also to you from data latte. I know there is a bounty in the current hackathon for folks to contribute in the other way. IE code issues, etc. to projects.
that are supported by ODC. So that's just something, you know, maybe we could collaborate in the future along those lines if it was a ventrist. Data lot, folks, actually embed these algorithms here and this, whatever.
that's the kind of work, certainly some of the ODC does or just more straightforward user experience and other work. So, Palpau, I don't know that I knew that you're a guillom and I probably just totally
I got some serious alpha here as well. It's nice to meet you. Thank you for coming up on stage. Maybe you mentioned where it can be found. Yeah, where do you think the
project goes in say six months and then if anyone else wants to come up on here I see a few folks that I recognize one of their projects but yeah we really think the project goes over the next six months.
I think I will apply to the sandbox project to an odc. So to give it more visibility and so to facilitate collaboration with other civil slave. Yes, create more issues, try to
to make it better with integration tests and unit testing. Also try to use more decentralized data sources. So for example, TrueGrucks could be connected or could be used as a data endpoint.
to load data from the package or use the package to access these data and then process the transactions with the package. So that could be very interesting. And so I created some issues. Right now it's on my own repository.
Yeah, anyone would like to have can get in touch or so. You are welcome. And thanks for listening. Yeah, thank you. Just a quick
piece of context. It's important to notice that in the hackathon and projects like this, like Palpau's. And just in general, there is a collaboration between us.
Civil Slayers or Finders and Passport where other projects like that that are intended to proactively increase the cost of civil attacks and decrease the incidents of them. So for example,
If you look at the hackathon, you can find, "Hey, help calibrate passport itself." And so these are the bounties that were designed with a lot of input from the passport team.
support itself is, you may not be a silver bullet, but it's a bullet, right? That's an idiom that helps, again, resist our civils, but somebody's got to tune it. Somebody's got to let your community know
how effective was it? How good a job are we doing at actually allocating capital or other decisions based on community input? So, you know, that sort of tuning calibration
and during post-talk analysis are all the more important, even as passport and similar solutions get more widely deployed. I see a request.
and I'm going to
Wait, sorry, over there you were. Yes. Yes. Is there a question regarding this list of wallets that you have of the people who did civil attacks?
Is it no public on Ocean Marketplace? Yeah, good question. Sort of. If you go to ODC, so you know, those three letters, ODC.
I think it's ocean marketplace. And then you will find a bunch of data from us that said the civil lists we are
acquiring, we're gating not based on payment to put white lists. And those white lists are like hackathon participants or EDM us and say we're going some analysis. And then we just add you. So that's
It should be listed. I haven't checked this morning actually, but it's a wait list sort of process. Good question. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I actually count. I pass it to one of my engineers to
first of all block all that list and second of all like maybe this algorithm that we thought of to do a machine learning of detecting this sort of transactions we can we can run it through this history of this wallets and see what we can get
Yeah, that would be great. And you know, if you do that soon.
you could win Bounties. That is part of the hack of that. So it goes through the May 15th. So you have a little bit of time. Yeah, good to do. After this Twitter space, I will talk with our engineer. I see how
Well distributed your work is nice. I'm trying to add staff here. I saw your request, but it keeps telling me you should have an invite now.
It's for some reason failed a couple of times, Steph. I'm sorry about that.
Yeah, I guess you can't tell me what's going on since you're not up here. Maybe I'll try.
I also invited you as a co-host. So one way or the other, you may be able to get up. - I think your stiff is on a web browser. Oh, okay. - No worries.
Hey, welcome, Steph, and nice to chat with you. And yeah, maybe take it away.
Yeah, I just want to make a comment like I'm part of the Grants Review project and I just want to make a comment about a purple project. I saw it and I saw it growing like through the hackathon and if it is really exciting to hear
here you say that in the future, the close future you think about implementing true blocks on it, because like I developed Python package 2 and I feel like just like sharing
It's sad that we need to rely on APIs to develop this kind of analysis. It feels like our lagos got a little, how can I say, it's got limited
it by the APIs. So I feel I just want to say that I'm happy to hear that the evolution of a project is to be integrated with Trueblocks and I'm quite excited to see it and maybe collaborate in the future. So yeah, that's it.
Yeah, thank you. And for those who are
You know, listening and maybe have not heard of true blogs definitely check them out. TJ was going to join us, but I believe they have a he's actually moving this morning. So he he he begged out, but really interesting.
project, the Ethereum Foundation funded in part and others and on a couple of pieces of the, I think they're in the civil slayer piece of the Bitcoin round and also in the broader OSS.
But yeah, this the basic idea that we and the open data community and others like true blocks have noticed is what's the point to some extent of having this distributed open permission list decentralized
world computer/itheorem. If everyone is in accessing it through centralized, censorable, controllable, sometimes expensive, not fully performant, not fully accurate solutions.
IE centralized index and centralized RPC services. So this is one reason why we're excited about, I think as I was doing this, we're just scheduling, I think next Friday we're going to be chatting with Pocket, Y Pocket.
pocket up to do anything. Well, thousands, tens of thousands of nodes as an RPC, that basic layer that are decentralized, that are run by a DAO, hopefully therefore less subject to capture censorship.
and then up a level, making sense of that data. That's where true blocks can come in as well. So true blocks will help you index everything. Everything on an archive node and that everything is important because as many of you know,
You're going to miss incidences, appearances of wallets. If you don't look at all of the transactions, you don't look at effectively the traces themselves. And maybe that doesn't matter that much, but sometimes it's pretty crucial when used
of course is taxes. Kind of important there, but of course some of the work we're talking about whether it's wash trading or symbol analysis around public goods. Kind of important there. So I wanted to get a shill and
I guess for true blocks, but thank you very much for mentioning them. They predate the open data community. There are a thousand percent open source. If you will, there's no token. There's no nothing around them actually. Other than
really years of effort by open source developers to get what is now a go-based, go-ling project that really makes it possible to index off of local nodes. And then they also have this notion of an unchanged index, which we're really behind.
It's a public good. It's a network effects thing. IE, we need more true box users to publish.
effectively chunks of an index out to IPFS to then become this unchained index. And if you kind of think about that for a second, you combine that with a little, in their case, bloom filters to kind of help coach
your local instance of true blocks on which chunks of the index do you need to grab like I only want the ePOW 101 appearances for that that would be me my one of my wallets then you could
Instead of having to get the whole node and re-index it all, which is hours of hours and a lot of time, you could maybe start with more of a rifle shot at what you need out of that node.
not exactly fully at that use of a centralized solution which is why saying a lot of the Legos use those centralized solutions but getting there. So anyway, Trubox didn't make it to the show space and I just used probably as much time
I don't know, I served that one up. Anyone else who's up here speaking, I saw you rejoin when I had something to say.
thoughts here or anyone else want to come up on on stage. Enjoy us. Talk about open data, talk about public goods funding around how it's going and in any cool decentralized or open data projects.
Now maybe to add a bit more about true blocks again. Thanks to the people of Monteling it. They are being excited about adding it to a package, a Python package.
The issue with centralized API is also that maybe someday the API will shut down and we don't know when and everything we have to rebuild from start because the data
is not accessible anymore. So we've opened for solution like true blocks, but we know that we will not have this issue in the future, or maybe where we'd be minor changes to do, but the software
We still be able to run it and to index the data as it was indexed maybe one year ago or two years ago. So that's our very important piece of using decentralized and open source software to build on the top of them.
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Especially in this time of, I mean, capitalism, right? You have up markets and down markets, etc., etc. So that kick-ass centralized solution that everyone's excited about today.
Maybe the one that effectively gets its capital pulled tomorrow. So that's a crucial point. Thank you. Pao Pao. It's one reason, by the way, that ironically, that the Open Data community is
as folks in the community know has no revenue model. We're gonna just do it as an open source, nonprofit, but it also kind of makes sense given what we're doing, right? We want to enable others.
the trust elabs is or whomever around us to be able to build their businesses as opposed to being a business ourselves. But yeah, I'm already
talking if we don't have more projects to talk about so I'll just ask again. Anyone else want to maybe have last thoughts or something to chill and if not I'll let you get back to the rest of your day and to donating or
or at least learning about projects. There's some amazing projects that the civil thing is new, right? So you're see there's a, I don't know, eight projects were so in there. Definitely recommend all of those. But as you're looking through, there's so many
people, you know, dedicating their lives or at least a good chunk of them to, you know, kind of doing regen type things. It's kind of inspirational. So, yeah, obviously.
I'm going to be spending yet more time going through some of these projects. And as you flag ones or see ones that I think this has something to do with data analysis, et cetera, et cetera, feel free to add.
open data community, you know, and we will, A, look into it, we'll learn, and B, we will amplify it to extent we can, i.e. retweet it, et cetera, et cetera. So, as you and your, in your browser and your cool project,
projects, fine cool projects you think we could amplify please do reach out and also feedback on this and on these kind of show spaces would be really welcome to see one request that's pretty cool yeah bringing
you up Tony. Thank you for joining and I think you should be able to join us. How are you doing?
Tony, not sure if you're on mute. Well, it looks like you're on mute from my side.
Hi everybody. Sorry, we've got too many things connected to him. Yes, thank you very much. Thank you very much guys. So yeah, thank you very much for hosting the hackathon. My name is Tony, Tony Mushi. I am the founder of JobCrip. We are the first decentralized job board on
the beginning of our own data journey because we're looking into seeing sort of like, you know, what is the jobs world like in the jobs landscape across the across the cryptosphere as it were. So yeah, in terms of sort of like civil and all of this,
We've got all of that on the horizon in terms of how it's going to impact the recruitment process and how we might want to be addressing that. We're really excited and stoked to participate. Do definitely check us out. If you have any roles, we have a community program.
more than happy to help you and support you when you're joining. Any questions? Nice Tony, thanks for joining. Are you in the three coin rounds as well?
in that? No, no, no, no, we're not yet at the point of participating in Gitcoin yet. We're still working our markets and trying to help people get more into Web 3 and understand that this amazing career
and Web 3, which are sort of like out there to be had. So at the moment, we're doing quite a lot of work in terms of sort of like education and education events. We've got some sustainability and ability week events, which you're all invited to, happening in Liverpool and in Munich and Germany.
And basically the idea is that we found that people are really sensitized to this whole sustainability thing and they're actually curious to see how blockchain is helping to save the planet and save the world. So there's a big data element
associated with that and sort of like trying to figure out how we incorporate that into the work that we're doing so that as we're sharing the message and preaching the gospel, we're also sort of like helping sort of like do stuff as it were with respect to
you know, helping projects get better understanding in terms of different datasets that are out there and different projects which are out there and how these projects can sort of work together and begin to really, really change. Because there's a lot of great people who are doing a lot of great work out
there with blockchain, but it's just like getting to know them and getting to find them. You need somebody to do that and we've basically taken up that challenge to basically be out there and sharing the word and getting that out there so that people can take up those jobs because if the hands are not there, the world can't get down, right?
Yeah. Yeah, pretty cool.
I don't know the space, but it seems like there's interest in using like ERC, what are they, 1155s or some other method to start to track reputation. And it's been
Which kind of overlaps with what we're up to right because folks want to you're trying to do things in a in a way that in a sense protects the pseudonymity of folks But allows them to take their reputation with them. Yes
I don't know is that where you guys are headed or I mean it looks a little science projectee but on the other hand I will say in like the top of the hour there's this it's not in your space but there's this project called hats protocol I think they're having their community hall kind of thing in there
and we're doing a POC with hats. Is that not to geek out, but are you looking at like reputation? Is that something that you said job crypt, right? Yes, yes. So the job crypt is looking out. Yeah, so in terms of reputation, reputation is a really, really big thing.
In the sustainability space especially because especially things like carbon markets carbon trading Because again in terms of the quality of you know sort of like the Carbon credits that are being traded in the mission records that are being traded there are Moons the foot to sort of like establish much stronger ways of establishing
the reputation of persons who is doing the issuance and then also on-chain making sure that that reputation is carried on and it's shared appropriately and also of the projects which are actually doing things like carbon-sirks. Ah, circulation that always just totally puncties me and things like we have
for a station, making sure that those are properly verified and those actually do have metrics which are fully published and audited and so on. So there's a bigger part of that. In terms of on the recruitment side, we're still trying to figure it out because the thing is that the way that
a recruitment sort of begins to change by us using blockchain is it's a very very new space right because the thing is that what we're trying to do is have max privacy but max openness at the same time which is trying to basically have our cake and eat it
And the coughing is as well. So it's kind of like working on how we how we do that because again for the one of the reasons we built our site on blockchain was to basically sort of help employers get staff who actually what we call Web 3 compliance. They know how to use blockchain.
Just like a person knows how to use an iPhone. Because what are the challenges we came across as folks will be like, yeah, I'm coming from Web 2. I know what Web 3 is. And you put them down and then in front of a computer and they get to work. And then you're like, ah.
So what we're trying to do is make sure that employers don't get that arm moment because that arm moment is a bit of a difficult moment. And in terms of the speed of which things are moving and in terms of which we want companies to be impacting and making positive changes in the world, giving everything to start on. We want to help drive that efficiency.
with respect to that recruitment process and making sure that people do have that reputation. I do have the skills. Sorry? No, it makes sense. One thing that we're doing that we've talked about but is not built out fully
In the open data community is something we call the region rangers. And it's very consciously a hat tip to block rock rangers of burning man. But the basic notion is data scientists, data analysts, even developers for good. Right.
And so folks will earn their points towards winning basically a badge. What's the point of this badge? Well, and they also, it's not just earning the points, but they need to commit to an oath. And so what we're trying to do is tilt the balance of data
and I, and savvy folks and scriptors and etc. in Web 3 from I want to form that air drop from that to I want to protect that air drop. And we're trying to give it a community, a brand, a reputation that you can take with you.
So anyway, that's something we'd love to collaborate with you and folks on as I K as these region rangers start showing up with badges. So what are these badges? How do they get those? What would you or your employers want to see?
to understand that this person is qualified as well as values aligned of course. So that's something that maybe offline we could double click on but what's your first gut reaction to this notion of a region, Ranger, Tony, if you don't mind? I think that is actually
because one of the things which, well, one of the nasi features which we want to be able to do is unchain skills matching. So it's like as an employer when you're coming and you know you put up your post unchain, basically you know the various skills that you're listed in your post.
should be able to give you a pool of people who you can actually incentivize or each out to, right, without us having to integrate that process as all autonomous. So that definitely does sound awesome and definitely will be looking forward to catching up with you. Very soon after this to sort of like see how
we can make that happen. Nice. Well, let's maybe chat offline. It is, you know, we're looking at these ERC 1155 and HACTS, but there's other ways to do it and it's only useful to big-stent that employers. I mean, it's largely useful to the extent that
employers and projects etc. and know what the heck it is. That makes sense. So it would love your input as we are building that in public here. Right now, as you might imagine, we're all volunteers and we're very focused on the side of them. But we're doing some of this work in the background and
Sort of mid-May we'll be going hard at trying to get our Onchain qualification, you know up and in production. So yeah, we'd love to chat with you more about it offline. Yeah, thank you. Thanks for joining. Thanks everybody for joining.
data latte. Thank you again. Yet you want to say something. Thanks so much for joining. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, thanks a lot. I just want to also give a shout out to Open Data that you guys are leading the space of data among Bitcoin. And I think it's one of the areas that
Gitcoin can grow much more. I've been seeing that there are different layers of applications or communities coming, for example, REFI and DSI, and I've been reaching for data to be around for once also on Gitcoin.
It's a little bit hard to put data under one round or one category because normally it goes under, I mean, any application is data. Data infrastructure is both in refine and in desire and both of them will be also relived from data.
would be nice to somehow create a description for a round and promote it to get going to also promote, I mean I don't know how exactly called it for example, maybe I can also give a shout out to data file. Data file is
The community that we started with for other projects, namely, decide, H2O, which are coming from Ocean Protocol. And now we are inviting also other data projects from other portals to join us. And basically it goes under the value of data sovereignty.
data monetization and democratization of data all on a decentralized protocol. And it is one name that we put on in which is data five, but it's very hard to narrow down and put one name and everybody come under one umbrella and also going
at good coin and demanding to have a round for it. Well, that's what's changed, I think, is the beta tag for this round is that, hey, the protocol itself, the aloe protocol, is reaching the point that
anyone, I'm doing quotes, air quotes. Anyone can run their own round. Yeah, yeah, we'd love to jam with you on potentially running around. It helps to be a feature ground, IE to be on the homepage of Bitcoin for obvious reasons. But
Yeah, we're also thinking on the similar lines. Maybe we could jam with the you ocean and others on how do we do a how do we collectively do something to to reward folks who are taking a decentralized
critically and open data approach, something like that. But yeah, data-fi, thank you for showing it. I think it's a great, what we'll know about it, a great initiative and thank you for taking it up and talking about it as well.
with that. Yeah, no, thank you. Look forward to collaborating with you. And thanks folks for joining. We're just reaching the top of the hour. So I'm going to let folks go and part because I'm supposed to be on another one
right now. But yeah, do take a look at the projects we talked about. Again, they got at least one incremental donor in me. So thank you everyone who came up on stage. Really appreciate it.
and do take a look at the open data hackathon, which we're calling the region rangers hackathon. If you're into data, you're into using some of this, why not use your analysis to, you know, protect public goods funding.
case or maybe identify wash trading etc. and maybe win a bounty and join a cool community. So yeah thanks everyone have a great rest of your day and really psyched about this one and I appreciate everyone's input into it.
Bye now, have a great day.
Thank you. Bye bye.
