Challenges

Best new subgraph(s)

Ranked 5,500 USDC

We deployed a subgraph on 3 different protocols and used graph graphQL api for our frontend! Our subgraph has 6 entities and relations (one to many, many to many) are set so that we can query data easily. PLAYDAO is an interoperable, no-code protocol dapp that facilitates positive community impact through gamified, merit-based reward structures. It’s a platform to add more play to work. It lowers barriers to entry for individuals and organizations, to increase the amount of work accomplished, and open opportunities for those more disadvantaged. This is crucial since most governments have rising costs from deferred maintenance; and many non-governmental organizations are underfunded, leading to unmet community needs.

Build on Base 🔵

Ranked 15,000 USDC

We deployed to BASE. PLAYDAO is an interoperable, no-code protocol dapp that facilitates positive community impact through gamified, merit-based reward structures. It’s a platform to add more play to work. It lowers barriers to entry for individuals and organizations, to increase the amount of work accomplished, and open opportunities for those more disadvantaged. This is crucial since most governments have rising costs from deferred maintenance; and many non-governmental organizations are underfunded, leading to unmet community needs.

Impacting Homelessness

Ranked 2,500 USDC

PLAYDAO is an interoperable, no-code protocol dapp that facilitates positive community impact through gamified, merit-based reward structures. It’s a platform to add more play to work. It lowers barriers to entry for individuals and organizations, to increase the amount of work accomplished, and open opportunities for those more disadvantaged. This is crucial since most governments have rising costs from deferred maintenance; and many non-governmental organizations are underfunded, leading to unmet community needs.

Create an AttestationStation App

Pool 11,573.6 USDC

We created attestations during our validation/complete event linking 3 properties together - contributor, validator, & quest. We will continue to explore how we can use attestations in our project because we believe it most natively fits our model. PLAYDAO is an interoperable, no-code protocol dapp that facilitates positive community impact through gamified, merit-based reward structures. It’s a platform to add more play to work. It lowers barriers to entry for individuals and organizations, to increase the amount of work accomplished, and open opportunities for those more disadvantaged. This is crucial since most governments have rising costs from deferred maintenance; and many non-governmental organizations are underfunded, leading to unmet community needs. In our project, badges/attestations are tokens/signals of activity that represent merit, trustworthiness, reputation, authentication, abilities, experience, and more. As the badges stack, they create organization and user profiles that build pathways to earning higher-level badges. These unlock higher permissions, increasing levels of trust and building a stronger more sybil resistant network.

Best Use of Polygon

Ranked 10,000 ETH

We deployed our smart contract on polygon mumbai and were impressed with the quality of the network in relation to all others. PLAYDAO is an interoperable, no-code protocol dapp that facilitates positive community impact through gamified, merit-based reward structures. It’s a platform to add more play to work. It lowers barriers to entry for individuals and organizations, to increase the amount of work accomplished, and open opportunities for those more disadvantaged.

#BUIDLathon 2023 DAOs + Community Track

Pool 15,000 USDC

PLAYDAO is an interoperable, no-code protocol dapp that facilitates positive community impact through gamified, merit-based reward structures. It’s a platform to add more play to work. It lowers barriers to entry for individuals and organizations, to increase the amount of work accomplished, and open opportunities for those more disadvantaged. This is crucial since most governments have rising costs from deferred maintenance; and many non-governmental organizations are underfunded, leading to unmet community needs.

Quantifying the Qualitative Impact

Ranked 2,000 USDC

PLAYDAO is an interoperable, no-code protocol dapp that facilitates positive community impact through gamified, merit-based reward structures. It’s a platform to add more play to work. It lowers barriers to entry for individuals and organizations, to increase the amount of work accomplished, and open opportunities for those more disadvantaged. This is crucial since most governments have rising costs from deferred maintenance; and many non-governmental organizations are underfunded, leading to unmet community needs. PLAYDAO consist of quests, badges, and actors. Organizations create quests that are posted on the quest board. Quests can facilitate services such as city clean-up and beautification, charity work, tournaments and races, mentoring and education, etc. Quests can optionally require a stake used as collateral to complete a quest. Badges are soul-bound tokens irrevocably awarded to each actor for either completing or validating a particular quest.

Measuring the Impact of Using Web3

Ranked 1,000 USDC

data generated through networks of interlinked attestations create an easy avenue for ai analasis - giving the ability to suggest and even curate organization quest supply and optimize demand through quest feed curation for utility, good, self fulfillment, and happiness in life that doesn’t necessarily come from money. PLAYDAO is an interoperable, no-code protocol dapp that facilitates positive community impact through gamified, merit-based reward structures. It’s a platform to add more play to work.

Project details

Inefficient education, bureaucracy, corruption, zero-sum markets, hyper-fi, environmental destruction, and homelessness — these are all challenges we believe modern blockchain primitives can solve. We’re working to fix these problems with our interoperable, no-code protocol dapp.

There’s so much imperative work that’s not getting done because existing tools for hiring are too cumbersome. People have qualifications with too few ways to actually prove them. Work doesn’t get done because that work is boring and tedious. PLAYDAO adds more play into work.

It lowers barriers to entry, which opens opportunities for those more disadvantaged, and increases the amount of work accomplished. This is crucial since most agencies have rising costs from deferred maintenance and are underfunded, leading to unmet needs.

We’ve created simple primitives applying Ethereum attestations and sybil-resistant trust networks. As you complete quests, become more educated and earn trust, you unlock higher permissions, exclusive events, games, and prizes. Sponsors provide monetary awards. AI analyzes profiles to match the most suitable quests with actors, based on their skills and interests. It also matches people with similar profiles so they can work together.

For this hackathon, we’re creating a dapp so you can scan the QR code of our sample demo organization to start completing quests and earning badges. This proof of concept illustrates how the app will help people create IRL organizations, no-code DAOs, and quests out of simple blockchain primitives on top of zero-knowledge proofs. PLAYDAO is privacy native — members have the freedom to reveal their contributions if they choose to.

Modern advancements in cryptography are quickly approaching a stage that enables us to not just transform how we see and use currency, but to actually transform society. PLAYDAO strengthens organizations and communities by enabling increasingly efficient and effective structures, to create a more healthy and fair world.
