Combine Near with IPFS and Filecoin using Textile Hub and Powergate

Prize Bounty

1000 DAI

Challenge Description

Imagine a web where “competing” apps and protocols actually work together to augment the user experience across all apps and services. What would that take? An interoperable web3 where where data is a first class citizen. What would it take to get us there? In this challenge, we invite you to think seriously about interoperability. How might you build in-roads, on-ramps, and bridges to connect the infrastructure of web3?

Can we help bring that future faster by combining the capabilities of Near with the capabilities of IPFS and Filecoin?

Examples include:

• Build tools for teams, organizations, or communities to own their data over IPFS or Filecoin through Near using Textile Hub.
• Build tools that archive or snapshot critical data created in Near applications using Textile Buckets and the archive to Filecoin features.
• Build self-restoring tools that can use their latest Filecoin deal metadata to restore previous version using Powergate.

Feel free to ideate on any of the above ideas or create your own. In particular, we want your solution to leverage the Textile Hub to help users access IPFS or Filecoin in a way that solves a real problem, simplifies a complicated workflow, or delivers measurable value. Ideally, your solution solves something for you!

Submission Requirements

Eligible projects must use the Textile Hub APIs to provide access to IPFS and/or Filecoin via the Near platform. Examples include those listed above and others (ask if unsure about the target tool/platform you wish to develop for). Relevant portions of your code will also need to be made available and documentation should exist for users to test your solution.

Judging Criteria

Judges will select up to two winners based on functionality, design, and potential. We will judge functionality and design based on the submitted demo or video showing the tool in action. We will judge potential based on your written submission that describes the target market, the expected demand for the solution, and any plans for reaching an audience.

Winner Announcement Date

All submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM EDT on Sept 30th, 2020, to be considered.
