2048Wars
Onchain competitive 2048 game where players compete for a shared prize pot. Traditional sliding puzzle mechanics - first to reach 2048 tile wins the current pot. Key Features: - BuilderScore threshold prevents bot/sybil attacks - Weekly win cooldown per player ensures fair distribution - Small entry fee (i.e. 0.001 ETH per game) - Growing pot system: 5% creator fee, 5% seeds next week's pot, 90% to winner - If no winner, pot rolls over to next week - Created as a Farcaster mini app Tech Stack: JavaScript frontend + Solidity smart contracts Personal Goal: Practice and advance my JS/TS & Solidity skills building an onchain game
YieldGuard: An AI-Driven Cross-Protocol Yield Optimization Agent
YieldGuard is an AI-powered asset management solution for DeFi. Leveraging advanced machine learning and risk management, it analyzes yields across Ethereum protocols and Layer 2 networks, identifying optimal allocations while accounting for gas fees, impermanent loss, and market volatility. Key features include an adaptive AI engine that predicts yield trends and adjusts strategies in real time; risk-adjusted optimization that integrates metrics like gas costs and impermanent loss; seamless cross-protocol integration via MPC Wallet APIs; and a transparent, intuitive dashboard offering real-time insights and customizable parameters, empowering exact, real-time investment management tailored for diverse investors.
Fiidbak
Fiidbak is an identity-verified feedback platform where creators upload products as ERC1155 tokens and users provide quality reviews. Both creators and reviewers must verify identity (self protocol) to prevent spam and ensure authenticity. Users earn progressive NFT badges based on approved feedback: Seedling (1 review), Wood (5), Bronze (15), etc. Feedback automatically approves after reaching fixed number of vote, and only Wood+ badge holders can vote on feedback quality, with weighted voting power. Product owners have feedback approval rights too. The platform transforms anonymous feedback into verifiable, merit-based contributions while scaling quality control through progressive user empowerment rather than centralized moderation.
EthIndexer
EthIndexer revolutionizes blockchain data access by enabling users to index blockchain data simply by typing natural language commands, without writing complex queries. It instantly processes your input and auto-generates API endpoints that both frontend and backend applications can consume—making blockchain data integration effortless and fast.EthIndexer is an AI-driven platform that empowers developers, analysts, and businesses to index and structure blockchain data on demand. Users describe what they want indexed—whether it’s activity for specific addresses or particular data fields—and EthIndexer automatically creates tailored REST APIs to expose this data for seamless integration.
Gasless Polls: A Practical EIP-712 Implementation for Community Voting
My project is a Gasless Poll dApp to eliminate voting gas fees. Users sign free, off-chain EIP-712 messages, it gets batched together for a single, efficient on-chain transaction. This project's goal is twofold: to solve a real user experience problem and to create a clean, open-source Scaffold-ETH 2 learning template for the BuidlGuidl community, demystifying gasless design patterns. Blockchain provides the core trust layer via cryptographic proof, immutable settlement, and transparency. My 2-week plan is to deliver a functional MVP: a Solidity contract, a Node.js relayer, and a React frontend, complete with a detailed README and demo video. Future plans include decentralizing the relayer with GSN and adding token-gated voting for DAOs
Zero Knowledge Proof Learning Platform & Scaffold-ETH ZkApp Starter Kit
The goal of this project is to create an open-source learning platform and development toolkit to help developers: Learn the mathematical prerequisites for Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). Understand ZKPs from both a developer’s and a mathematical perspective. Build a starter kit on top of scaffold eth for quickly developing ZK applications (zkApps).
Assist melanke.eth to review PR's in Batch 20
I was invited by melanke.eth with opportunity to assist him in reviewing the PR's of Batch 20. Tasks I will help out with but not limited to: -> Resolve issues of Batch 20 batchmates and guide them to successfully complete the batch issues. -> Review PR's and provide detailed feedback to batch mates. I reviewed PR's in batch 19 as well and was guided by melanke.eth to efficiently review PR's and learn. I have completed speedrun Ethereum projects and, currently tackling eth tech tree challenges. I would be happy to contribute more to the community and learn to become a 100x developer.
Streamlined Token Interactions with EIP-2612
I propose building GaslessSwap, a dApp showcasing EIP-2612 (Permit) for gasless ERC-20 interactions. It includes a token faucet, permit-based token swap, and a gasless transaction dashboard to highlight gas savings and improved UX. This project explores EIP-2612, EIP-712, and gas optimization, serving as a tutorial for developers. Initial goals: deploy an ERC-20 token with Permit, build a swap contract, and create a React frontend. Future plans include gasless staking and DEX integration. Perfect for learning, sharing, and impact!
