    Grow Open Source (by gitcoinco)

  • GitCoin is already a platform for soliciting software bounties or funding & deploying hackathons:

  • git-signatures

    Discontinued Git extensions for m-of-n signing and verification on commits/tags.

  • If defi hacks can be conceivably clawed back under legal threat, I don’t see why a legal structure like a foundation can’t be relied upon to onboard new administrators of the Git repo.

    We could use something like multi-signature Git commits [1] to enforce repo integrity. Clients could cross-check the signatures against an approved list published by foundation members. Anyone who co-signs an unapproved fork of the foundation’s repo could have their shares in the foundation slashed.

    Post a ledger containing $JPEG balances to the Git repo, and require prospective foundation members obtain N JPEGs to apply for membership.

    The ledger would operate at a snail’s pace, but “blockchains don’t scale”. We’d just need someone to design the “L2” of Git.

  • unlock

    Ʉnlock is a protocol for memberships built on a blockchain.

  • ens

    Discontinued Implementations for ENS core functionality: The registry, registrars, and public resolvers.

  • For anyone that still thinks that NFTs are only meant to be overpriced jpegs to be used for money laundering, consider two different projects: ENS [0] and Unlock Protocol [1].

    ENS treats domain names like NFTs. So we can have applications that use your ENS domain as your identity, it can work as a decentralized / uncensorable alternative to OpenID, it can be used as an actual domain (you can use .eth.link to redirect to a IPNS name for instance, and the ENS devs are working to get a top-level domain that can integrate with actual DNS.

    Unlock uses NFTs as keys for access control. This means that you could have decentralized alternatives to substack or any kind of paywalled content, but one thought that really interests me is that we could imagine in the future that kind of service provider will not be able to lock you into a contract, and we will be able to avoid any type of billing overcharges of surprise bills. Coupled with the idea of "streaming payments" (i.e, periodic transfers of micro-payments), we could be able to run subscription services by the hour/minute/second, and to cancel it you can simply close the payment stream.
