Next Step Microgrant: DeAudit #234

Closed priyansh71 closed 2 years ago

priyansh71 commented 2 years ago

1. What is your project?

Owing to the immutable nature of blockchain technology, it is impossible to update the code after its deployment. Placing smart contracts without adequate audits could lead to undesirable situations like differences in the contract's intended performance, gas leakage, and more.

Auditing isn't an easy process. Auditing wait times on top audit firms are 9-12 months and are expensive. We need something that is more participative and allows for new and yet-unproven security auditors. This is the motivation behind building DeAudit, a decentralized audit marketplace that turns the auditing process into a prediction marketplace.

2. How will IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology be used for this project?

Our application plans to help contract creators, security auditors and bug hunters as a whole with the help of a single platform by creating a profile for them. It acts as a user's wall for showing his proof of work in audit creation, bug hunting or audit judging. Here, users can upload profile or cover images for themselves, which are hosted on IPFS using web3.storage. Moreover, we have also hosted the project on a decentralised infrastructure (IPFS) using Valist.

3. How will you improve your project with this grant? What steps will you take to meet this objective?

Currently we are based on the Mumbai Testnet. We plan to on-board a lot of users, both as security auditors and audit creators. Hence, the grant money would be allocated for Smart Contract Auditing and Marketing of the product. to reach more potential customers for whom the product would prove worthwhile. Moreover, we'd require a Pitch Video and a better dApp design. Also would be used to hire more devs to scale it with new features for our frontend, backend and the Polygon contract.

4. Is this project open source?

Yes, License: GPL-License.

5. Do you agree to share grant reports upon request, including a final grant report at the end of the three month period?

Yes, no worries.

6. Does your proposal comply with our Community Code of Conduct?

Yes, it does.

7. Links and submissions

We submitted our project to Polygon BUIDL IT 2022 and included it to the relevant filecoin pool prize.
