[$100,000] Open Web Incubator

Rules and Criteria

The Open Web Incubator is a six-week-long online incubation programme endowed with an investment pool of $100,000 to be invested in PST-backed permaweb apps.

During the course of the programme, participants will have the opportunity to:

Join masterclasses delivered by industry experts on everything from developing your go-to-market strategies to pitching techniques.
Pitch to world-renowned investment firms such as Andreessen Horowitz, Union Square Ventures, Multicoin Capital, and 1kx and possibly receive additional investments.
Direct technical support from the Arweave core team.
Participate in exclusive community events and discussion forums.

Participants are encouraged to create engaging, user-centric applications on the Arweave network, integrating Arweave’s profit-sharing token (PST) technology. PSTs are a fundamentally new way of incentivizing founders to build web services. Integrating a PST enables devs to earn a stream of micro-dividends from the usage of their permaweb app, as well as to sell access to these futures profits to interested investors. If you’d like to read more about how PSTs work, you can find out here.

Idea to Market in just six weeks

The aim of the programme is to guide you from the seed of your initial idea into a fully-fledged, revenue-generating permaweb app. Along the way we will help connect you with high-quality mentors and the best advice on building web apps that gain major traction. After you have built, launched, and demoed your permaweb app, we will consider it for funding from our $100,000 investment pool. Through the incubator’s demo day we will also connect you with other interested parties that may want to purchase part of your profit sharing token.

As well as hacking, each week of the incubation period includes a mixture of masterclasses, workshops, community events, and investor feedback, all culminating in a Demo Day on week six where projects will pitch to potential investors. A week later, the top projects will be announced together with the investments they have secured so far.

Resources

You can find the docs for getting started deploying your first permaweb app here.

The docs for the JS library that allows you to read from and write to the permaweb are here.

We’re providing some free tokens so you can get started building and deploying - grab your wallet here. For guidance on how to use the Chrome web extension wallet, check out this user guide.

Our blog post about profit sharing tokens can be found here, and our post on SmartWeave can be found here.

A guide for spinning up your SmartWeave PST can be found here.

If you need technical support, join our developers’ Discord here where core Arweave team members and community members can offer you guidance.

Rules

Successful submissions will meet the following criteria:

Apps must be open source, with the full source code available on Github or another open code hosting repository. Feel free to use whatever OSS licence you prefer.
Your application must incorporate a profit sharing token, the owners of which receive royalties from usage of the app.
Your submission must include a link to a live, functioning, and running instance of the app itself, as well as a link to the repository it is stored within. It must also be published to ArweaveApps (see the submission process below).
All applicants must join our Discord Dev server and share your submission in the #on-the-arweave channel upon completion.

Investment details

The investment pool of $100,000 will be split amongst the top projects as chosen by the core Arweave team, taking feedback from expert judges from Andreesen Horowitz, Union Square Ventures, 1kx, and Multicoin Capital. This investment will be made in exchange for an amount of the top apps’ profit sharing tokens (PSTs), to be defined in negotiation with the submitting individual or team following the incubator programme.

Note: The bounty has a value of 100,000 DAI on GitCoin, this is only a representation of the $100,000, the currency will depend on the agreement with the investee.

WeaveID is a cloud Arweave wallet that you can access from any device by logging in with an email & password. Easily integrates into any dApp, to allow for seamless user onboarding. Coming soon: Embeddable widgets, mobile app, and fiat on-ramp.
5) metlock has started work.

Create a marketplace that rewards positive actions across the entire activity chain powered by a solution that leverages the Arweave Network for permanent data storage, permanence of meta and verifiability of transactions while being secure by default.

Every transaction completed will reward all parties involved in the transaction with a percentage of the PST earned for the transaction. This includes the two exchanging parties, their handling partner and the original part manufacturer.

In the event of a failed transaction, the awarded amount will be deducted from the faulty party’s PST balance.

In this way, good actors will be rewarded and their status and personal value in the network will grow, bad actors will not gain rewards, will lose status and never earn long term from the network’s success.

All the tools you have nowadays to deal with anything after your dead relying on centralized solutions.

Life insurance;
Family offices to take care of your testament;
youtube or google drive to deliver videos
A third party that you need to trust will transmit your willing

People spend a substantial amount of money with it every year, and still have no certainty that things will occur as they wish.

A Dapp to store videos, to triggered based on predetermined parameters is the solution.
For those who want to continue to be listened to even after they pass away we are building Caduceus.

Upala is an anti-Sybil system for DApps, with an aim to become a decentralized digital identity in the future.

Upala provides a digital identity uniqueness score. The score is valued in dollars and represents the explosion price - an amount of money that an identity holder can get at any time for deleting their ID. The higher the explosion price the higher the owner values the ID and the safer it is for DApps to interact with.

People can spin up their own customized trading strategies (no coding needed), can invest in existing strategies, can share their own strategies, and can trade over trading-strategies (trading strategy derivatives). 10% of profits(when the profits cross a certain threshold) will be charged as fee, which will regulate the distribution and price of our PST.
10) lketchersid has started work.

We've recently integrated multiple decentralized identity (DiD) solutions to our authorization service and into a demo app for document upload and retrieval. For this project we'll be adding arweave access to this document upload app, adding support for PST, adding tracking of certain documents (potentially utilizing an existing proof of existence (po.et) system, and, time permitting, add-in workflow tracking for publication and delegation of access.

Non-Zone is the Global Map of stories for experiential- and solo-traveling!

A Non-Zone is a personal place. A place with a Story. Where something has happened.
Not a map of Locations, but a map of Stories – to create a deeper human connection in the times of Social Distancing, and a richer traveling experience, whether somewhere on the other side of the world, or right downstairs, in a common road.

We use Storytelling, Geofencing & Blockchain to create every non-zone as a profit-sharing marketplace where the three parties are:

Zoners:

Create non-zones 
Profit per Interaction

Explorers (Travelers):

Discover/Validate  new locations.
  - Pay < coffee to interact, and get richer experience.
Discounts to redeem with Merchants in the network.

Merchants/Guides:

Gain visibility
 - Attract new Explorers & grow the value of their non-zone
 - Offer discounts to Explorers

We use a Dual-Tokenomics:

SPACE Credits:  
unit of exchange to measure the value of a new non-zone, and to interact with existing ones. Based on a "Proof-of-Interaction" protocol.
ZONE Points:  
simple discount coupons, redeemable for services of experiential providers (Guides/Merchants) in the area.

Every place has a story – from a tree in the Rainforest, to the alley behind your home.
So, find your own dimension. Create your Non-Zone – and add it to the map. Today.
