In alignment with the mission of the Cartographer Syndicate, Out Build uses a collaborative, open innovation approach to support and grow the Web3 community. _Inspired by \"Survivor,\" this high-stakes, reality TV-style competition showcases visionary builders as they vie for funding, evaluated by an expert panel of judges._\n\n## Team Members \n- **Mike Ghen:** [Twitter](https://x.com/mikeghen) \n- **Paul Len:** [Twitter](https://x.com/0xpaullen) \n\n### Concept and Structure\n\n**Duration:** 5 weeks  \n**Format:** Weekly project presentations  \n**Elimination:** Builder with the lowest score is removed each week  \n**Weekly Prize Pool:** Shared among remaining contestants each week (e.g. 1 ETH, 1000 USDC)\n\nBuilders must demonstrate significant progress and potential impact to stay in the game and earn a portion of the weekly prize pool. Judges evaluate presentations based on innovation, feasibility, scalability, and societal impact. The goal is to support forward-looking ideas and ongoing contributions.\n\n### Weekly Episodes and Filming\n\nThe journey is captured in a dynamic five-episode series, featuring:\n\n- Builder presentations\n- Judges' deliberations\n- Suspenseful voting-off ceremonies\n\nViewers will witness the transformation of ideas into actionable projects, gaining insights into the challenges and successes in the decentralized tech space. This aligns with the Syndicate's goal of enhancing news aggregation and event coverage in the Web3 grants ecosystem.\n\n### Judges and Evaluation\nUnlike Survivor where peers vote each other off, Out Build takes an approach more like Shark Tank. A panel of judges provides feedback on the spot after the presentations and then scores the projects using a rubric.\n\n**Panel:** Industry leaders, seasoned investors, and successful entrepreneurs\n**Criteria:** Innovation, feasibility, scalability, societal impact  \n**Feedback:** Constructive and insightful, providing learning experiences for builders and viewers, contributing to the Syndicate's philosophy of knowledge sharing and long-term vision.\n\n### Pilot Program\n\nThe pilot program for Out Build will take place in Philadelphia and be produced by Mike Ghen, organizer of [Decentralized Philly](https://decentralizephl.org) and an [Allo on Arbitrum Hackathon participant](https://app.buidlbox.io/projects/survivor-kfs?path=projects%2Fsurvivor-kfs). It wil feature five builders from the local community. This initial run will allow us to refine the format and showcase the incredible talent within our city.\n\n**Location:** [Blockspace](https://blockspacephl.com/), Philadelphia  \n**Participants:** 5 builders from the Philadelphia community  \n**Duration:** 5 weeks  \n**Format:** Weekly project presentations, eliminations, and prize distributions  \n**Filming:** The entire process will be filmed and edited into a five-episode series\n**Weekly Prize Pool:** TBD\n\n### How Out Build uses Allo Protocol\n\nOut Build uses the Allo Protocol to implement its on-chain funding mechanism. The custom [\"Survivor\" allocation strategy](https://github.com/mikeghen/allo-v2/blob/68bd117fedffab0ce16285851119de64c37f050a/contracts/strategies/_poc/survivor/SurvivorStrategy.sol) is designed to mirror the elimination process of the show \"Survivor,\" ensuring transparency and fairness.\n\n**Survivor Strategy Overview:**\n\n1. **Pool Creation:** Admin selects start time, round duration, number of participants/rounds, and reward per round.\n2. **Recipient Addition:** Admin adds recipients up to the maximum number of participants.\n3. **Voting:** Judges, verified by their NFT ownership on-chain, vote for participants after each round duration.\n4. **Elimination:** The participant with the fewest votes is removed when the admin calls the \"Distribute\" method.\n5. **Reward Distribution:** Remaining participants share the round rewards equally. In the final round, the last participant receives the entire reward.\n\nThe Survivor strategy is fully integrated within the Allo protocol, using the BaseStrategy contract and depending on the live versions of the Allo and Registry contracts.\n\n**Source Code:** [Survivor Strategy Repository](https://github.com/mikeghen/allo-v2/blob/68bd117fedffab0ce16285851119de64c37f050a/contracts/strategies/_poc/survivor/SurvivorStrategy.sol)", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Out-Build"}, "recipient": "0xa485C95105Ac8E01b0Aed4fc649b2aAc40BEFd01"}}
