adChain Registry 1.0 Hackathon

When: April 8th – 9th, 2019
Where: Los Angeles Convention Center

HACKATHON GOAL

While primarily focusing on the adChain Publisher Registry, hackathon participants are to analyze various factors within the Token-Curated Registry (TCR) 1.0 mechanism and generate observations/recommendations for the adChain team. The various factors to be analyzed include (but are not limited to):

Overall Problems

• What immediate problems do you observe when analyzing TCR 1.0? What recommendations can you provide in order to improve the game mechanics?

Curation Incentives

• How could ADT holders be better incentivized to curate the registry?
• Take in mind the fact that ADT is already distributed and can be acquired in the secondary market

Smart Contract Organization

• How could the TCR smart contracts be developed for optimization purposes?
• Explore the possibility of deploying the smart contracts on a second-layer solution or an entire separate blockchain while keeping the existing Ethereum-based digital assets in mind

Registry UX

• What tools/wallets could be utilized to optimize user experience for the purpose of curation?

Attack Vectors

• Based on the crypto economic mechanics within TCR 1.0, what attack vectors could be exploited to the game the registry?

HACKATHON SUBMISSION

1. Create a new issue within this repo's Issues tab
2. State the members of your hackathon team along with their LinkedIn profile and email contact information
3. State the problem(s) found in your analysis
4. State the methodology/process used to solve the problem(s) observed
5. Clearly state actionable recommendations for the adChain Team to solve your observed problem(s)
6. Submit your analysis by clicking on the Submit new issue button

HACKATHON JUDGING CRITERIA

The MetaX team will be judging submissions based on the creativity and actionable recommendations generated by hackathon participants. Because TCRs have been in existence for about two years, research has already been conducted. The existing research can be referenced, but not copied. We are looking for actionable recommendations specific to a possible re-deployment of the adChain Publisher Registry.
