The general objective of these bounties are to build solutions that solve for one or more of the focus categories of this incubator: Carbon Footprint, Sustainable Cities, Plastics & Pollution.

Submission Requirements We expect all bounties to be comprised of two distinct parts: product and potential. For the product, we will accept submissions in all formats, including but not limited to wireframes, landing page, prototypes, or production code. For potential, we've outlined information that we expect to see below. It can be delivered in any format, including but not limited to a report, a presentation, or a video. All submissions, including all code, must be open source for future use and reference by the community, and links to external documents must be provided in the Github repo submission.

As these bounties are broad and left up to your own discretion, we expect you to deliver the following items tailored for your specific solution:

We also are looking for participating teams to articulate both broadly and specifically how their proposed solution affects widespread systemic change. A team that delivers a specific solution must show us how this solution can be rolled out more broadly to have a broad impact on the issue at large. Conversely, a team that solves in generalities must describe how they anticipate testing their ideas in specific, measurable experiments.

Submission Deadline All submissions for this bounty must be submitted by 11:59:59 PM EST April 8, 2020.

Judging Criteria We are looking for projects that address a real problem and teams that have shown the progress and entrepreneurial instincts to make something real and get it out in the world. Because this bounty is open-ended and has room for more creative expression, the judging will consider these aspects when selecting a winner. Specific scoring rubric is as follows:

Judging Period and Announcement Date A judging period will be run from April 9 to April 20 and the bounty will be awarded to a winning submission and runner up on or about Earth Day, April 22, 2020.

Reward The team that builds a solution that addresses any of the UN SDGs and is the most compelling product using Celo technology will win a $10,000 bonus prize and tickets to Celo’s Prosper Retreat in Peru’s Sacred Valley – an intimate gathering of leaders committed to changing the world.

Work has been started.

These users each claimed they can complete the work by 1 year, 11 months ago. Please review their action plans below:

1) futurebank-team has started work.

I would love to include the future bank in this Decentralized Impact Incubator 2) distributeddoge has started work.

Together with deora.earth team we will look at Celo and see if it is feasible to use it for kiezDAO, tool-sharing and tool-renting application that promotes responsible consumption. (https://github.com/deora-earth/kiezDAO/)

It seems to me that paying transaction fees in stablecoins and linking identity with phone numbers could be of great use for us. 3) kisgus has started work.

For this hackathon we intend to:

https://github.com/nestorbonilla/bienvenir

My team and I will work on a project that addresses the theme of migrants in Central America, using Celo platform. 5) masaun has started work.

I will build dApp by using Celo's SDK. 6) arun0930 has started work.

0x7F4B0fc7c8BD0fe9e472B9F66e89EEC1BE52089f 7) adalmas94 has started work.

The goal of this project is tackle "SDG #12 Responsible Consumption and Production", by means of creating a decentralized database for material science. Scientist publish a fraction of the research they conclude in their laboratories, most of the research is not useful for their own experiment, but might be of great use for other scientists for either ruling out certain hypothesis or know that their hypothesis is on the right track even without wasting materials for testing. Team members needed for (1) Front End, (2) Back End, (3) Design coding. I'm a Material Engineer learning to code, currently in need for a mentor that can teach us and walk us through the project. I will be able to fit one of the above positions myself. 8) rahmanunjan has started work.

I will outline a plan, look at how to monetize it, validate it with a small customer base, build an application, test and reiterate. 9) alexvotofuture has started work.

This is a test. Only a test. Only a test. Only a test.
