Falling for DeFi with Findora - Tools Challenge

Findora is a low-cost, scalable, EVM-compatible, L1 public blockchain running on Tendermint with programmable privacy for stablecoins, tokens, NFTs, & DeFi.

Originally conceptualized as a university cryptography research project in 2017, Findora utilizes the latest breakthroughs in zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party computation, to allow users transactional privacy with selective disclosure and auditability.

Prize Bounty

Total Prizes: $15,000 in Prizes (1st - $7,500, 2nd - $5,000, 3rd - $2,500) - awarded in FRA ERC-20 token

Challenge Description

Bring your favorite existing tools, build new tools, enhance libraries, write documentation -- and do it all to improve the developer experience for yourself and everyone else.

Below are some helpful examples:

• SDK / Documentation and Tutorial Guides - Create tools that abstract some of the complexities of developing on Findora, create tools that even a “non-blockchain” engineer can use to build a DApp on Findora.
• Indexing - Accessing blockchain data can be slow. Indexing Findora’s blockchain data (such as with The Graph, Rosetta, Blockset, etc) will speed up DApp performance and development.
• Node Hosting - Managing a Findora node can be time consuming. Having an Infura-like node that can connect DApp developers to Findora will save them time from having to setup their own Findora node.
• Block Explorer - Develop a block explorer with “advanced” features such as smart contract functions.

Submission Requirements

• All submissions must be deployed on the Findora Devnet or Findora Forge Testnet
• A demo video and Github repo link must be submitted for a complete submission

Judging Criteria

1. Execution - how well did the project execute?
2. Creativity - how creative is the project?
3. Design - how good is the user experience?
4. Impact - how impactful is the project for the ecosystem?

Winner Announcement Date

• Finalists will be invited to demo their project via Zoom on Thursday, December 9, 2021 (exact time & link TBD)
• Winners will be selected and announced on Friday, December 10, 2021 by 5pm ET

Falling for DeFi with Findora - Cryptography Challenge

Findora is a low-cost, scalable, EVM-compatible, L1 public blockchain running on Tendermint with programmable privacy for stablecoins, tokens, NFTs, & DeFi.

Originally conceptualized as a university cryptography research project in 2017, Findora utilizes the latest breakthroughs in zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party computation, to allow users transactional privacy with selective disclosure and auditability.

Prize Bounty

Total Prizes: $10,000 in Prizes (1st - $5,000, 2nd - $3,000, 3rd - $2,000) - awarded in FRA ERC-20 token

Challenge Description

Design, execute, and/or optimize cryptographic tools to bring more privacy to DeFi.

The crypto libraries below form the foundation of Findora’s cryptography features. These features include confidential transfers (hiding amount sent, hiding asset type sent and hiding the sender/receiver addresses on the ledger).

• Bulletproofs (Github repo)
• Zei Library (develop branch) (Github repo)
• BLS12-381 library (Github repo)

You are recommended to work on a fork of these repositories. Some ideas for references are as follows, but we welcome all kinds of optimizations.

• More efficient pairing with prepared G2 elements for BLS12-381
• More efficient scalar multiplication of points via endomorphisms for BLS12-381
• More efficient Pedersen commitment using the Bowe-Hopwood technique
• Newer ZK-friendly hash functions including Poseidon, Reinforced Concrete, and Grendel, in addition to Zei’s Rescue hash
• Flexible Merkle tree framework with a dedicated leaf hash and a dedicated two-to-one compression hash
• Sparse Merkle tree with a bounded height

Submission Requirements

• All submissions must be deployed on the Findora Devnet or Findora Forge Testnet
• A demo video and Github repo link must be submitted for a complete submission

Judging Criteria

1. Execution - how well did the project execute?
2. Creativity - how creative is the project?
3. Design - how good is the user experience?
4. Impact - how impactful is the project for the ecosystem?
