Challenge Description

Environmental track projects that use IPFS for content-addressing and/or Filecoin for decentralized, persistent storage. (Submissions that use either technology indirectly via NFT.storage, web3.storage, Estuary.tech, Textile, or other tooling also qualify). All types of projects are welcome and we welcome your creativity. Feel free to browse past winners here for inspiration.

Submission Requirements

At a minimum submissions for prizes should include the following items:

1. Project Description

• The name and summary of the project
• Names/pseudonyms of team members and contact info (e.g., GitHub handle, email address, or other)
• How the project uses IPFS and/or Filecoin and/or decentralized storage services that build on top of either with example links to where in code those technologies are used.

2. Link to the publicly visible source code repository

• Provide comprehensive README, incl. a clear description of the work and mention of how our tech is used in the Technologies Used section of README.
• Include a link to the working demo or provide a testing guide

3. Showcase

• 2-3 minute video that presents the idea, including a brief demo that demonstrates the use of IPFS and/or Filecoin or anything that builds on top of them
• If applicable, select the appropriate track when submitting the project.

NOTE:

• Only submit what you have built specifically for this hackathon. Submitting a project previously submitted to any other of our hackathons will lead to disqualification
• Only projects or features (preferably in separate branch) built specifically for the respective hackathon will be considered for prizes
• Broken links may disqualify the project from the judging process.
• Using an IPFS HTTP gateway doesn’t count as building on top of IPFS. Exclusively basing your submission on that does not make you eligible for prizes.

Judging Criteria

Work has been started.

These users each claimed they can complete the work by 58 seconds from now.
Please review their action plans below:

1) faithful1ofall has started work.

This program help users bother newbies to access the NFT market with less risk because we will build an insurance mechanism to make sure NFTs has a consistent value at every point in time so as not losing its own buy ack value we intend to build a marketplace where NFTs will not have decreasing value instead will have increasing value.
2) ari4325 has started work.

A decentralized platform that supports the individual effort of cleaning the Earth.

EarthRaiser lets users create NFTs featuring their work. These NFTs can be listed on the platform for displaying and creating awareness to the world regarding their initiatives and set the desired amount of funding they seek. EarthRaiser allows thoughtful global citizens to fund these projects by buying these NFTs at the desired price set by the creator. Funding these projects ensures these individuals or local bodies have the support they need.

EarthRaiser plans to bring easily available storage for users creating these NFTs using NFT.Storage and sync these on a decentralized space. EarthRaiser would also bring a token that would be used to fund the projects natively.

I'm creating a platform to trade or donate used electronic devices.

Why?

Electronic garbage is a huge problem and electronic waste is growing fast.

The issue is that a lot of functioning products that some other people could still use make it to the landfills. Recyclable and reusable parts get thrown out. That is not sustainable.
Electronic waste ends up in third world countries and stays there forever, damaging ecosystems and the health of people in the countries where the garbage finally ends up.

The solution?
Find new home for used electronics by selling or donating them online.
Your old phone in your drawer could be valuable for somebody else!
The electronics industry is not sustainable the way it is, but we can change that by giving the second hand market a chance. Let's reduce waste! Buy less new products, recycle more and give to others what we don't need! Sustainability requires action!

I'm building this platform specifically for this hackathon, starting now.
It will use IPFS for storing data about the electronic devices and also for p2p chat and I will write smart contracts for achieving trust between parties for payments and will use a centralized endpoint where private user data like shipping info will be stored.
5) rkumar0099 has started work.

I am building a decentralized ebook platform for authors and buyers using IPFS for storage of all the books. The project aim to reduce the paper consumption by helping authors upload a electronic version of its book on the platform, and get the payment in crypto from the buyers. Reducing paper consumption would help save the trees and reduce the deforestation.

With NewEnvAI people can freely mint dynamic animal NFTs which represent real environmental data.
The uniqueness of this project is determined by the usage of DALL-E neural network which allows users to create any images by just writing a description of it (e.g. bear in river)!
There are 3 stages of NFTs: 'bad', 'neutral' and 'good' that will change accordingly to the data provided by an oracle from environmental API.

12) jwcheon has started work.

Filecoin is the world's most transparent blockchain in energy consumption and also focuses on utilizing renewable energy. And websites can be deployed to IPFS.

So shouldn't the websites for organizations working in sustainability start migrating to IPFS? Maybe it's not an easy task. That's why 'Link Green' is tackling this issue by starting off with a free Linktree-like website deployment for anyone working to make earth greener and sustainable.

Non-devs from anyone interested can easily create their own reference landing page in a few clicks and have that working on IPFS. Just like that!

Dpacks Nightly is a technology that saves web contents of a website on the IPFS open internet as JSON data packets. It scans and identifies every variable data in a webpage and pack them into data packets. This allows you to manage and update them anytime via the dpacks admin console.

Web updating is responsible for the one of biggest carbon emission tasks in the IT industry, But it's mandatory and often to run the world's internet. At that point, servers have to run several circulating processors during the nowadays web updating process. But the Dpacks technology reduces general server carbon emission by logging the circulating workload of many servers into one IPFS-driven system.

Specifically, this project saves users inputs to IPFS and generates a unique paste hash for them to share. User inputs can be encrypted so that only people who know both the paste hash and the corresponding password could retrieve the underlying input.
32) iammincii has started work.

Filecoin aims to be the greenest blockchain. To achieve that goal, the Filecoin SP's (i.e. the largest sources of energy expenditures for FIL) must be environmentally friendly.

How can we make SP’s operate more sustainably? Here's my take: create a green reputation score by which we can measure how “green” each SP operates and then a community incentive structure that rewards those who have a higher metric.

EcoSoul is that solution. A community reputation system for FIL Storage Providers which brings their green operations to life with a concrete, metric-driven "green reputation score", community NFT that stores those scores on-chain, and a leaderboard to compare scores.

I think the payouts will be in FIL, not PayPal

[Zedonboy]

@littlezigy but they asked for Paypal address not FIL address

[sathninduk]

@littlezigy but they asked for Paypal address not FIL address

Here is a slight conflict, The bounty owners asked PayPal to send the bounty price but as well as they stated this in the bounty description. But from my knowledge and experience, they might pay through FIL. No idea when they will collect our FIL address.

[Nwakakukaks]

The last I participated in the winners where notified via emails and asked to provide payment channels . So not to worry if you submitted PayPal address .

any news on when the final winners are announced?

The IFPS node for my project at https://devicely.xyz/ recently had a little downtime, systemd failed to restart the crashed ipfs daemon in the background.

I do not know if it affected the review but apologies for that. It's fixed now.
