The system provides badges based on user interactions such as voting in DAOs, swapping or lending coins/NFTs, etc. Users can collect badges to improve their on-chain reputation and build their EtherScore profile (overview of user's Web3 activity and preferences). On top of this, Dapps can develop services that require a reputation system, such as curated social networks, fair airdrops/ICOs, DeFi, DAO governance or any other exclusive reward. Chainlink and The Graph are used for decentralization and verifiability of our solution.*\n\n#### EtherScore DAO and Reputation-based Governance\nThe [EtherScore DAO](https://docs.etherscore.network/product/dao) is experimenting with new governance paradigms based on contributions/on-chain reputations. The [first proposals](https://snapshot.org/#/etherscoredao.eth) are based on a 1-badge-1-vote model, which means that the more badges a user has, the more influence they will have in the DAO. This creates an incentive for users to participate actively in the Web3 ecosystem and contribute to its growth.\n\n\n#### Alpha Version\n\n![test](https://i.imgur.com/kxP8E8H.png)\n[The alpha version](https://alpha.etherscore.network/) of EtherScore is live on testnet and offers more than 55 badges for users of the most popular Dapps, DAOs or chains. As seen in the following screenshots, EtherScore alpha users can collect badges to build their user profile and participate in EtherScore DAO proposals:\n![EtherScore User profile](https://i.imgur.com/8cKzG0r.png)\n\n\nAs of today (August 10, 2023), we have reached a total of 350,000 badges claimed by 80,000 users ([source](https://mumbai.polygonscan.com/token/0xEa072EB2c7FBC875DcB1B58F240fAF8755399f7e)). \n\n\n#### Beta Version\n\nThe beta version of EtherScore will be released in the next few months. It will offer a much better user experience, with a brand new design for our interface and badges. A lot of new features will be teased soon (evolutive badges, paid badges, customizable EtherScore profile, etc.). We will also release the EtherScore Badge Factory, which will allow anyone to create badges.\nHere are some previews of the new badge design:\n![New Badge design](https://i.imgur.com/CsHAAmC.png)\n\n\n#### Context with the \"Web3 Community & Education\" Gitcoin GG18 round:\n\nThe overall goal of EtherScore is to align the interests of Dapps and users by providing a tool to curate communities. EtherScore badges also facilitate the onboarding of new users and bring gamification aspects to Web3. \n\nFinally, Web3 needs a better UX to achieve mass adoption, and users need a clearer view of their activity history (blockchain explorers are complex and not user-friendly). By providing users with a profile that summarizes their actions, EtherScore hopes to create a more accessible ecosystem while improving the efficiency and fairness of blockchain incentive mechanisms.\n\n#### Company/Team\n\nWe are a 5-person team incorporated in France.\n\nFundings: We raised $250,000 in a [pre-seed round](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/onchained-lab-etherscore/company_financials) in September 2022 after a series of hackathons. We are part of [dlab accelerator](https://dlab.vc/), [Chainlink BUILD program](https://chain.link/economics/build-program) and 2 french incubators. We have also received 2 grants from the French Public Investment Bank (11,000 and 30,000 EUR).\n\nFounders details:  \n- Sami BARBARA (CEO): Master's Degree in data science, discovered blockchains in 2016 and started mining cryptocurrencies. He then worked as a blockchain R&D engineer and at [Smart Contract Research Forum](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/) (covering blockchain taxonomies, decentralization metrics, and more). ([Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sami-barbara-267780176/))\n- Geoffrey GARCIA (CTO): Engineer with a Ph.D. in Computer Science (Distributed Systems) and 15 years of experience as a project manager and software architect. He has worked on industrial and distributed systems (especially multi-agent ones). ([Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffrey-garcia-171a623a))\n\nNon-Founder Team:\n\n- Tim Samson (Full-Stack Developer): [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-samson-743b4371/)\n- Pauline Rondeau (designer and front-end developer): [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pauline-rondeau-3b6662254/)\n- Hugo Maume (full-stack developer and blockchain enthusiast): [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugo-maume-536a46196)\n\n<u>Gitcoin GG18 round: </u>The funds collected from the Gitcoin GG18 round and donations will be used for the further development of EtherScore (salary expenses). Key milestones will be the beta release and the badge factory (roadmap can be found [here](https://docs.etherscore.network/product/roadmap)).\n\n\n#### Links\n\nFor more information, please refer to the following links:\n - [EtherScore Website](https://etherscore.network/)\n - [EtherScore Documentation](https://docs.etherscore.network/)\n - EtherScore socials: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/EtherScore), [Lens](https://lenster.xyz/u/etherscore), [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/6yrKCgEgzp), [Medium](https://medium.com/@etherscore)\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "EtherScore", "projectTwitter": "etherscore"}, "recipient": "0x713A95B5923FAEe8Dc32593Ff9c0A30a3818D978"}}
