🛠️ Moonbeam: Integrate Gasless Transactions into a dApp

To qualify for this bounty, use the call-permit precompile to enable gasless transactions from within your dApp or any existing dApp on Moonbase Alpha or Moonbeam. To elaborate, this means you can take any existing dApp and enhance it with a gasless UX! You don’t need to be the original creator of the dApp. When improving an existing dApp, your submission will be judged on the improvement to the end-user experience that you’ve built (i.e. you’ll be judged solely on your contributions, not the status of the pre-existing dApp).

Prize: $1000

🛠️ Moonbeam: Integrate Batched Transactions into a dApp

To qualify for this bounty, use the batch precompile to enhance the end user experience for your dApp or any existing dApp on Moonbase Alpha or Moonbeam. Your use of the batch precompile should involve combining two or more transactions into a single call in a logical way. Given that there are multiple methods for batching transactions (batchSome, batchSomeUntilFailure, batchAll), you should carefully consider which one(s) are best suited for your dApp. Your submission will be evaluated on your integration of batched transactions and the improvement to the UX.

Prize: $1000

 
 

🛠️ Zeitgeist: Market Rewards Bounty

Provide a Typescript library that uses SubSquid to fetch market rewards.

Prize: $1000

🛠️ Zeitgeist: React Hook Bounty

Wrap the Typescript library in a React hook using the “react-query” library.

Prize: $1000
