Welcome to OpenBuild Dev Digest #31!
This week, we’re diving into a diverse range of topics that are shaping the future of Web3 development. From exciting hackathon opportunities on Base to a deep dive into Chia Lisp for Bitcoiners, we’ll be exploring new frontiers and uncovering emerging trends. We’ll also delve into the mechanics of blind signatures, share some thought-provoking insights on AI agent infrastructure, and spotlight lucrative grants and bounties to secure the Web3 ecosystem.
Let’s jump in and explore the latest in blockchain innovation!
Hackathons
Token Recommendation on Base
Pond – The AI Model Layer of Crypto
A new frontier in web3 investment powered by Pond’s crypto foundation model, built by renowned network scientist and…
January 1, 2025 — February 20, 2025, online, 7,000 USD
Recommend potential alphas on Base based on transaction history and other on-chain activities.The challenge is to develop a reliable system for token recommendation on the Base blockchain. Specifically, the goal is to identify and recommend high-potential tokens (“alphas”) on Base while filtering out low-value or risky options. This involves assessing vast volumes of data, such as on-chain activity, to produce actionable insights for individuals seeking promising opportunities on Base.
The Support Buildathon
https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/the-support-buildathon/detail
August 19, 2024 — December 31, 2025, Online, 1,000 USD
The Support Buildathon was an event that aimed to bring together developers, enthusiasts, and innovators to contribute to the growth and improvement of the support ecosystem. It provided a platform for participants to showcase their skills and creativity in developing solutions that enhance the support experience.
Kaia Winter Epoch
https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/kaia-winter-epoch/detail
July 3, 2024 — March 13, 2025, online, 10,000 USD
Kaia is presented as a fast, Ethereum-compatible EVM Layer 1 blockchain with 1-second finality and high throughput, seamlessly integrating with major bridges like Wormhole and Stargate. It encourages development across various tracks including DeFi (yield calculators, LP management), NFT (collections, use cases), Developer Tools (boilerplates, integration kits), Education (platforms, bootcamps), Consumer Applications (payments, prediction markets), and Community Initiatives (meetups, workshops), welcoming a wide array of projects and offering flexibility for proposals that might not fit neatly into these predefined categories, all while providing KLAY compensation.
What’s New
✍️ Quick rant- AI agent infrastructure is still not even close to priced in
Quick rant- AI agent infrastructure is still not even close to priced in because the majority of the space still believes they’re just “chatbots”. But the thing is that agent utility scales with AI progress itself. Ask anyone who is actually well versed in the latest progress and pace of AI development and you’ll realize that agents are going to become so integrated into our lives that the level of autonomy we’re allowing them may become an actual concern.
✍️ Chia Lisp For Bitcoiners
https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/chia-lisp-for-bitcoiners/636/1
This writeup assumes you’re familiar with Bitcoin and Bitcoin Script, but not with Chia or Lisp. It takes a very bottom up approach, and doesn’t go into any real detail about what any of this makes possible. For those who are familiar with Chialisp, note that I’m mostly talking about the behaviour of clvm (ie what’s implemented in consensus and seen on-chain in chia), rather than Chialisp per se (ie, the syntax you use to write complicated programs that then gets compiled down to clvm).
✍️ Buckets of blind signatures
https://blog.cashu.space/buckets-of-blind-signatures
In this article, we describe the basic mechanics of how blind signatures in Cashu work and why ecash systems typically use a limited set of possible amount values, like powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 sat, etc.), to denote the values of all possible coins to achieve privacy. Let’s first look at how blind signatures work and what they achieve. We’ll start with a more formal definition and then make a simplified example that illustrates how we can build a payment system with blind signatures at its core.
