The website tracks every grant (600+) on Gitcoin and audits all information related to it, especially off-chain data such as description, goals and related information. This gives full transparency to stakeholders while making awesome protocols like Gitcoin more accountable. We snapshot data every 10 minutes. store on IPFS (backed by Filecoin) along with cryptographic proofs on Ethereum (via Matic). The UI allows you to view changes and independently inspect audits.

You can search for any grant and we should have audits that go back to a few days. All new grants are automatically added and we are hoping to make more improvements that will allow end-users to better understand changes to complex information such as the CLR prediction curve, etc. Meanwhile, do let us know what you think about it, suggestions or critiques, on your Discord: https://discord.gg/WkYeZK3hC8

TL;DR: Using Stripe Identity, Svelte and our Ethereum API gateway, we built an app to generate tamper-proof passes as QR codes which can be easily verified on chain with least privacy implications.

The core tenet of this project is to offer a decentralized alternative to the traditionally accepted opaque process of granting of licenses and permissions, whether in the physical or the digital world. We are starting off with movement passes.

More details on how it works is on our whitepaper: https://www.notion.so/Adabdha-Project-dc221e127c6d4984b916f6...

A live demo is at http://app.adabdha.com.

TL;DR: Using Svelte and our Ethereum API gateway, I built an interactive tutorial to learn and code on blockchain in real time.

Long time HN lurker and an equally long YC reject :) finally breaking the shackles and shipping something on HN. A bit of a personal back story first.

After recovering from a critical health condition due to tampered blood tests and reporting, I started hacking on Ethereum to see if I could leverage the tech to solve this for others. When building a couple of prototypes and eventually my first side project (CryptoVigil) on Ethereum, I realized how painful it was to code on blockchain even for an experienced developer like me. Why wasn't there a Stripe or Twilio for blockchain that I could use to quickly prototype my app with just a few lines of code. With that vision, my co-founder @anomit and I have been working on this since 2 years.

Whether you are a student, a novice in the world of web development or a seasoned fullstack developer, our vision is to make blockchain development accessible to all. The tutorial framework itself will be open sourced once we collect feedback from the community and iron out a few kinks. Anyone can then contribute their lesson plans and spin off their own version if they wish so.

Would love to hear first impressions from fellow developers here. Feel free to break stuff on the interface too!

(It is a developer tool intended for desktop usage. Experience on a mobile browser will be sub-par.)

If you want to dig deeper, check out the docs of the core API. We dog-fooded it to build this very experience!
