By leveraging ethereum tech, we aim to create a sustainable, community-driven webradio ecosystem that preserves the integrity of content and anonymity.\n\n**Impact on the Optimism and Broader Superchain Ecosystem:**\n\n**Qualitative Benefits:**\n\n1. **Enhanced Freedom of Expression:** By providing a platform free from the constraints of traditional centralized media, Radio SpaghettETH will empower users to express their opinions and share their content without fear of censorship or platform-imposed restrictions.\n   \n2. **Community Empowerment:** Our decentralized model will enable communities around the world to have their own broadcasting programs in a shared playlist, promoting cultural exchange and collaboration.\n\n3. **Innovation in Media:** Radio SpaghettETH will serve as a pioneer in the integration of blockchain technology with media broadcasting, setting a precedent for other projects within the Optimism and Superchain ecosystems. \n\n4. **Data Privacy and Control:** Users will maintain full control over their data, ensuring that their privacy is respected and protected. This aligns with the broader ethos of decentralization and user sovereignty championed by the Optimism ecosystem.\n\n**Quantitative Benefits:**\n\n1. **Increased User Engagement:** no one will have to put up their own channel and maintain it to feed some platform's algorithm. Radio SpaghettETH will allow communities to simply book their on-air time when needed.\n\n2. **Economic Opportunities:** The in-built sponsor-bidding system will create new economic opportunities for curators and communities. We project a steady increase in the number and value of sponsorship deals, providing a sustainable revenue stream for participants.\n\n3. **Network Growth:** As more communities and curators join Radio SpaghettETH, the overall network effect within the Optimism and Superchain ecosystems will be strengthened. This growth can be measured by the number of new accounts, transactions related to sponsorship bids, and the volume of content produced and consumed on the platform.\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Vision Statement and Impact: Describe the long-term vision of your project and its intended impact on the Optimism and broader Superchain ecosystem, including both qualitative and quantitative benefits", "questionId": 4}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "1. **Month 1-2: Development Phase**\n   - Finalize smart contract development for RadioCalendar.sol and Dynamic Player integration.\n   - Develop frontend UI/UX enhancements and token-curated content creation tools.\n   - Integrate backend with Livepeer Studio for seamless live audio streaming.\n\n2. **Month 3: Internal Testing**\n   - Conduct thorough internal testing of all developed features.\n   - Identify and fix bugs, optimize performance.\n\n3. **Month 4: Beta Testing**\n   - Launch beta testing phase with selected users from our community.\n   - Gather feedback and make necessary adjustments.\n\n4. **Month 5: Marketing and Outreach**\n   - Initiate marketing campaigns to promote the beta version.\n   - Engage with potential sponsors and partners for monetization opportunities.\n\n5. **Month 6: Final Adjustments and Launch**\n   - Implement final adjustments based on beta testing feedback.\n   - Officially launch the beta version of Radio SpaghettETH as a public good.", "hidden": false, "question": "Initial Strategy: Outline a high-level strategy for how you will achieve your intended impact and key goals for the next 3-6 months", "questionId": 5}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "### Integration Approach: Applying Token Engineering within OP\n\n**Radio SpaghettETH's Token Engineering Integration within Optimism (OP)**\n\nRadio SpaghettETH utilizes a token engineering framework to integrate within the Optimism ecosystem, leveraging the benefits of ETH technology to create a decentralized and self-sustaining community radio platform. Here\u2019s how we apply token engineering in our project:\n\n1. ** ZuPass OR SpaghettETH Passport SBT (Soulbound Token):**\n   - **Role and Function:** The SpaghettETH Passport SBT is a free, non-transferable token that acts as a key to unlock various functionalities within our platform. It ensures that only verified community members can curate content, book on-air slots, and participate in governance.\n   - **Access and Curation:** By being a verified ZuPass holder or holding a Passport SBT, users gain the ability to curate the radio's content, maintaining the quality and relevance of broadcasts while fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among community members.\n\n2. **On-Chain Calendar and Slot Booking:**\n   - **Smart Contracts:** We utilize smart contracts on the Optimism blockchain to manage an on-chain calendar where ZP verified OR SBT holders can book their broadcasting slots. This ensures transparency, immutability, and trust in the booking process.\n   - **Dynamic Player Integration:** Every block.timestamp, the Dynamic Player fetches a different livestream URL from the RadioCalendar.sol contract, providing a seamless and automated listening experience.\n\n3. **Sponsor-Bidding System:**\n   - **Monetization Mechanism:** Our sponsor-bidding system allows brands to bid for calendar slots, providing curators with opportunities to earn from their content. This system is managed by smart contracts, ensuring fair and transparent bidding processes.\n   - **Revenue Sharing:** A portion of the sponsorship fees (up to 7%) may be allocated to support platform maintenance, debugging, and community outreach, ensuring the platform's sustainability and continuous improvement.\n\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Integration Approach: Explain how the project applies token engineering within OP", "questionId": 6}, {"type": "dropdown", "answer": "Social infrastructure", "hidden": false, "question": "Project category ", "questionId": 7}, {"type": "short-answer", "answer": "PoC", "hidden": false, "question": "Project stage: What stage do you consider your project is currently in?
