Questbook can never shutdown, even if the founders want it to. Questbook implements a completely decentralized software architecture called SACI Software Architecture [S] Storage is decentralized This means that all the data of using the Questbook dApp is either on chain or on decentralized storage like IPFS and Filecoin. We don’t control your data. You are in control of the data, using your keys. All the data that is private is encrypted using the public keys of the users who are allowed to access the data....

We’re committed to making permissionless work a reality to help millions of builders and contributors increase their economic mobility. The Questbook team has been working with the top DAOs and protocols to fine tune the process and deployed the first version of the workflow tool. But there’s a lot of work to be done. We need your help. There are a few broad directions we’re actively working on Delegated domain allocation Problems A single capital allocation (grants/bounties/investments) program has numerous blind spots and will miss lot of opportunities A single capital allocation program will result in burn-out of the folks running them Voting on all grant and bounties is an unreasonable ask from the community, and inefficient for the community Solution space Multiple domain allocators - who run capital allocation programs in their domain of expertise All the domain allocators have full ownership of how to run the program, no community voting on every decision Full transparency of performance and direction, community members can initiate a no-confidence motion upon poor performance Contribute Learn more Minimum Grants DAO with Maximum Community Participation I don’t believe in the way grants are run today Participate Permissionless Work Improvment Proposals Forum - Delegated Domain Allocation...

This implementation borrows from EIP 1776 and EIP 4337. However, simplified for a the use case of letting a dapp onboard a user to their platform without having to pay for the gas or install a wallet. Assumptions The Dapp that wants to subsidize the gas for the user is a central entity, ie. the relayer. We’re not decentralizing the relayer network as proposed in EIP 1613 User identification - OAuth A centralized relayer can subsidize the gas of the end user....

Tech Deepdives Bringing in technical founders and talking about the technical intricacies of their products. We’ve done multiple of these in the past. And they have been to the point, and no shilling or fuding. “Thanks was a blast guys, good questions – was this recorded btw?" - Ben Jones (CTO, Optimism) “Thank you! You did a really great job hosting!" - Jin Chung (Cofounder, Rainbow) Public Goods Funding Karl Floersch (Founder, Optimism) Kevin Owocki (Founder, Gitcoin) Austin Griffith (Founder, BuildGuild & Scaffold Eth) ZK Rollups Eli Ben-Sasson (cofounder, Starkware) Brendan Farmer (cofounder, PolygonZero) Alex Gluchowski (cofounder, Matterlabs/ZKSync) Youtube : Anchor....

Originally : The recent OpenSea launch of seaport is a masterstroke. Web3 moats are in composability traction; not (just) user traction. Firstly, the protocol launch context https://opensea.io/blog/announcements/introducing-seaport-protocol/?amp=1 https://github.com/ProjectOpenSea/seaport Why give away everything for free, when you could have milked profits by owning the IP? OpenSea words the Seaport as a way to build with the community and support a generation of builders and developers. Though it may sound altruistic, it is actually in the best interest of their business to do this....

Most wallets are designed for DeFi. A wallet that works for your DApp, probably needs to be designed ground up. Gasless I think gaslessness is an under explored opportunity in web3 - a way to interact with onchain contracts without having to pay the gas. L2s like Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon have low gas fees - why don’t we just use a cheaper chain for on-chain transactions/interactions? If you think gaslessness is about gas prices, you’re mistaken....

Community participation is wrongly interpretted as vote on everything. Many grants DAO use the same model to run, what becomes, an inefficient grants program. Here, after working with a dozen grant programs in the ecosystem, I’ll lay out how you can have a grant program that is both efficient and community driven. Delegated Capital Allocators The grant program must be divided into specialized grant programs, each with its own budget. This could be for various verticals like NFTs projects, DeFi, Infrastructure, Dev Tooling etc....

800 builders on Terra have lost their livelihood - in the last 1 week. Builders are losing trust on betting their careers on a chain. Terra’s collapse has downstream effects that will affect every ecosystem. Developers are leaving, leave alone attracting new developers. Now is the time to focus. If you don’t involve the community to build trust among developers - the grant program will be unfruitful. We’ve studied various successful and unsuccessful grant programs....

Questbook is in the business of increasing economic mobility of builders. We’re innovating on the future of work on multiple dimensions. Here, I’ll outline the various things that we’re launching in Q3 2022. Permissionless work An Uber driver can get work on tap of a button, but the best of the best developers cannot get work on tap of a button. How do we fix that? In enabling this future, we first need a marketplace of capital for building and builders - for seamless matching to be possible....
