Prize Title
AlgoRank - Mini CLR for Algo marketplace
Prize Bounty
50,000 $OCEAN tokens to be distributed to 2+ winners (3-4K$ based on average price of $OCEAN in May, 2020)
Challenge Description
Concept: Imagine you enter a store full of advanced algorithms. You want an algorithm that detects faces so you walk to the shelf that says 'image algos'. It contains hundreds of algos that claim to solve your task but you do not want to test every single one of them. So you ask someone from the supermarket staff to rate them for you. You are not quite happy with the rating since it does not match your criteria. Enter AlgoRank! A crowdsourced algorithm ranking platform with skin-in-the-game. Experts and enthusiasts stake on various algorithms in the marketplace to signal their vote of confidence in the quality and usefulness of the algorithms. The host marketplace (for this MVP imagine that's Ocean Protocol) rewards both stakers and algo providers once a month with a mechanism similar to Gitcoin Mini-CLR rounds!
Details: Ocean Protocol v2 augments v1 with the ability to run privacy-preserving data pipelines on (private) data that can't be seen by the user/consumer. Internally, we use the code name compute-to-data for this new release.
Furthermore, we have added a new asset type "Algo" to the core protocol in addition to the existing asset type "data". Users of Ocean powered DApps and Data DEXes can reuse existing Algos (a generalized term for data pipelines, ML models, etc.) listed on the marketplaces on matching data sets. This means Ocean Protocol is now equipped to power AI/ML algo marketplaces (v2) in addition to being a substrate for decentralized data access control (v1).
To bootstrap our ecosystem of data scientists and ML engineers, we would like to create mechanisms to fairly and objectively rank and reward the best performing algorithms. To that end, we are asking you dear BUIDLers to come up with ideas and MVPs for ranking and rewarding algorithms across all Ocean-powered data marketplaces.
For the purposes of this bounty, you can use Ocean Commons marketplace as your only source of algos and datasets for ranking/rewarding.
An interesting way to do this is a modified version of Gitcoin Mini CLRs for Algos on Ocean v2 using mechanisms like QF (quadratic funding) and staking. (using QF is not a strict requirement, but strong suggestion)
What is Mini CLR - Gitcoin
A few small modifications could be done to fit this mechanism to our use case (bootstrapping algos and data pipelines). The following features satisfy the requirements of MVP1:
At a later stage, Ocean Protocol could activate onchain referrals (planned feature on our roadmap), so that stakers automatically receive a portion of the Algo revenues (if a paid Algo). For this MVP/bounty you can distribute 20% of the monthly rewards to the accounts that maintained a minimum threshold of stake on any given Algo. (GAS is free/cheap on our PoA network Pacific, so we can do many microtransactions at no/low cost).

Submission Requirements
100% = functional code and front-end and implements all the features listed in MVP1
50% = functional code covering reqs in MVP1 but no sleek/usable GUI
50-100$ in $OCEAN for very good concepts with min of 2-4 pages of concept and diagrams + the right to submit funding proposal(s) for further development of your concept(s).
Judging Criteria
Best idea and implementation together will be selected as winner of the bounty, There can be multiple winners as well. In that case, bounty reward will be distributed equally/unequally to those winners
Winner Announcement Date
Winners will be announce after a week of submission deadline as soon as we complete reviewing the submissions.
