Green Reputation: Best ‘green reputation score’ to determine sustainability of SPs

[protocol-labs]

​​Prize Bounties*

1 x 1,500 USD paid in FIL and outside of Gitcoin.

*All prizes will be paid out in FIL and outside of Gitcoin.

Challenge Description

Write a ‘green reputation score’ that determines which SPs are most sustainable based on the current grid emissions factor, and let your users know how much CO2e will be saved by choosing a lower carbon grid.

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

• 🤩 Novelty/Creativity: Does it have unique and novel features or combine features of other products or services in a unique and novel way? Does it solve a new problem? Is it creative and puts a smile on people’s faces?
• 🚀 Potential Impact: Does it fill a gap in the universe, and have the potential to be used frequently by a large, growing and diverse audience or market? Is it
• 🤖 Technical Accomplishment: Is the code elegant, clean, and technically interesting? Is the project complete?
• 🪄 Filecoin & IPFS Implementation: Does the project interact with IPFS/Filecoin under-the-hood (i.e., more than simply retrieving a CID from a gateway)? Does it use NFT.storage, web3.storage, or other storage helpers?
• ✨Design: How is the UX/UI/DX? Is it easy to use? If targeting developers, is the experience smooth and intuitive? Does the visual design delight you?

For details on other eligibility criteria and qualifying tools please read this page.

Winner Announcement Date

Winners will be announced after the end of the 2022 Sustainable Blockchain Hackathon.

Filecoin aims to be the greenest blockchain. To achieve that goal, the Filecoin SP's (i.e. the largest source 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 score.

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.
