🧪 Mad Science Project Idea: Novel Faucets #28

Open smartcontracts opened 1 year ago

smartcontracts commented 1 year ago

What is an Mad Science Project Idea?

A Mad Science Project Idea is an idea for a project within the Optimism ecosystem that may not have clear value but is generally cool as heck. Mad Science Project Ideas make great hackathon projects and tend to be a great way to explore Optimism, OP Mainnet, and the OP Stack.


Summary

Blockchain faucets tend to be a bit of a pain, but maybe that's just because we haven't experimented enough with what's possible! Try creating a faucet that has a better incentive model than the traditional faucet. Maybe you could create a faucet that can deploy smart contracts for you but won't actually give you ETH.

Possible Features

Oops, forgot to send my comment. LOOOOL

We built a mainnet faucet for Optimism. We are currently working on a standalone page for it.

But you can access it here: Bottom right corner after you connect your wallet.

We built it because we encounter a lot of users who would mint a membership but have no funds on Optimism

Our goal is to make it an opensourced smart contract

we run a preemptive anti-sybil check using EthRank
