MetaMask Snaps Bounty + ETHDenver 2020

JSON-LEE13 commented 4 years ago

Best Working MetaMask Snaps plugin

Bounty: 1st place 1,000 DAI 2nd place 500 DAI

Description Come and try out an early version of a new kind of MetaMask; one that allows the decentralized web to innovate faster than ever, while improving user experience, without compromising security. Each MetaMask Snap created has the ability to provide its own API to the sites that a user visits, as well as to other plugins. This allows plugins to build on each other, forming a sort of decentralized dependency graph. We expect this to rocket-propel the pace of innovation leading to countless possibilities, but here are a few things Snaps can enable:

New asset types (tokens, subscriptions, credit lines, CDPS, etc)
New protocol support (ipfs, ssb, dat, gundb)
New Layer 2 solution integrations
New account types (remote signers, contract accounts)

For this challenge, our team would like to harness the ETHDenver community’s creativity for the best Snap they can make.

General Plugin Guidelines and questions to consider

Who is this snap for? Who is the user - and why would they care about using this snap?
What is the user problem you are solving with this snap?
Which technologies would you use?
What are the minimal permissions you need from users to run the snap?
What kind of UI does your snap need? a. Can your snap’s UI be handled by dapps or do you need to interact with MetaMask’s UI? i. If the latter, do you need your own iframe or would hooks provided by MetaMask suffice? b. What does the user flow look like after snap integration with MetaMask? i. Is it usable / intuitive to use? c. How does a user get onboarded to this snap? In which context (e.g., does a dapp recommend it? Do you expect users to install from a snap list / store?)

Note: Snaps that are created as parts of other projects or larger systems are still eligible for this bounty. For example, if you create a snap to support a dapp you are building, that snap is eligible for entry.
