🛺"Tuk Tuk To the Moon"

Decentralized patreon for creators and communities to fund what they love, together Like Carpool with Tuk Tuk, we could create on-chain pool to fundraise and crowdsource for data contributions and reward creators trustlessly.

Why

Creator platforms like Patreon today are far from perfect

  1. Trust concern -- phishing and scams.
  2. middleman - 8% fees + 3% to credit card
  3. no mechanisms to incentivize (e.g. airdrop) community to contribute
  4. attention - easier to run rounds over creator fundraise indiviudally

We could learn from platforms like Gitcoin, Giveth etc ❓What if we support creators to join force and mobilize their community to create fundraising campaign. ❓What if we enable trustless reward for contributions ❓What if we bring reputation systems on-chain

We have ETH - Let's bring Economy, Trust, Human on-chain

Features

  • Mint ENS L2 name to receive funding
  • Allow community to follow with Ethereum Follower Protocol to indicate reputation
  • Create Akave Bucket to crowdsource data and art, then track for reward
  • Drag-and-drop to setup funding target and disperse

Use cases

  • crowdsourcing for music creation e.g. Ethereum unofficial theme song
  • crowdsourcing for deSci e.g. Collect air quality sensors
  • crowdfunding in charity run

How it's build

  • With UI it's possible to connect and create a pool, where the app will
  • create Akave for community to upload data and media
  • deploy L2 registrar so we can rereceive funding directly
  • update the bucket onto L2 subname TXT record
  • create a Coinbase smart account as the owner of L2 ENS subname
    • where the smart account could be owned by either pool manager / Chianlink Gatekeeper
  • with the metadata on akave, we can verify contributors and split reward to legit address
  • we could extend this by updating L2 TXT records on ENS subname to include verified contributors, and pre-configure smart account to disperse in trustless mechanisms
