Jessy's Hacker House
Jessy is helping the BuidlGuidl find high-impact up-and-coming devs. Our goal is to fund developers on the edge and help them remain free agents to have the most open source impact.

Solidity By Example
Solidity-by-example is the best solidity resource out there. It stays up-to-date and Taz is always adding new examples.

W1nt3r
W1nt3r created EVMFromScratch.com and many other engaging onchain apps. He is a model app builder on Ethereum.

jtriley.eth
Ether Deck Mk2: A reasonably optimized, extensible smart account.

erhant.eth
Circomkit is a Circom circuit development & testing toolkit. It provides a simple CLI that abstracts away pathing & setups for SnarkJS commands...

bytes032.eth
FindAudit is a public good platform that allows protocols to connect with over 100 auditors/audit firms in less than 48 hours.

chETHGPT
I have this idea to build on top of the state channels challenge in SRE. In the challenge there is a "guru" and a "rube" that pays for the guru's wisdom. In this idea the guru would be a chatGPT API and the rube a user asking questions... It would be basically a wrapper of chatGPT but you would use the state channel and ETH for payment It would be cool because you will pay only for each character that you receive.

MerkleProofX is a platform the process of generating, managing Merkle proof
MerkleProofX is a no-code platform that simplifies the generation, management, and verification of Merkle proofs for Web3 projects. It allows developers, platforms, and communities to securely run airdrops, create whitelists, and set up token-gated access without writing custom smart contracts or backend scripts. Through MerkleProofX, users can upload wallet addresses, automatically generate a Merkle tree and root, and retrieve proofs. Features include on-chain storage of Merkle roots, API integration for dynamic proof generation, and pre-built smart contracts for claim verification. Developers can either deploy our lightweight verifier contract or use our APIs to fetch and verify proofs directly in their frontend apps.

Paywalled Content Frame for Farcaster/Warpcast
As a batch12 final project i aim to build a warpcast frame v2 which: - allows a user to post something (and pay a post fee, let's say 100 $degen) - lock the content behind the paywall Another user will be able to pay to view it (let's say x = 100 $degen) Then: - if he likes the content - he can share it and get commission from everyone who unlocks the frame. - if he does not like it - he can get a refund. All these functions will be implemented in a smart contract. The code will be opensource to help others to learn how to use smartcontracts with frames v2.

Code Review and Developer Support on Batch-13
I was invited by Philip to contribute on the Code Reviews and supporting the developers of Batch-13.

DefiVerse
The DeFi ecosystem’s complexity makes it inaccessible to many, with challenges such as limited hands-on learning options, fragmented resources, and minimal security education. DefiVerse addresses these gaps by creating an interactive on-chain learning platform that combines practical DeFi experiences with structured, progressive modules. In 2 weeks, I plan to launch an MVP that can st a solid foundation for newbie in defi, by learning all basics required to start defi such as protocols, liquidity pools, lending, flashloan, security basics... Over time, DefiVerse will expand to include simulations, multi-protocol support, specialized learning tracks, on-chain certifications and hands-on exercises within a safe environment.

EduMate
EduMate revolutionizes education through blockchain technology, creating innovative NFT-based attendance tracking. Students receive unique NFTs for class participation, providing immutable, secure digital proof of achievements. Key features include: - Automatic NFT minting for attendance - Tamper-proof record-keeping - Real-time accessibility for students and administrators - Gamified learning with reward mechanisms - Smart contract-driven administrative processes Benefits: - Institutions gain transparent, simplified management - Students earn collectible, verifiable credentials - Employers receive authentic achievement records The platform transforms educational engagement by leveraging blockchain's security and NFT technology.

Scaffold Chat
For my final project as part of batch 5 I would like to build a chat room application The flow of the application is as follows: - when users log in on connecting their wallets, they see a list of existing chat rooms - user can either join an existing chat room or create a new chat room - in the chat room users see a list of all other users in the chat room and can also contribute to the chat

Scaffold ETH 2 extension: signature builder
A Scaffold-ETH 2 extension to test EIP-712 signatures. My first idea is a simple form to generate the domain, a form to generate the data, and a button to sign. When the user signs, the signed data is displayed on the screen and console.
