Monthly Grants Committee Update: March 2022
We’ve got some updates from the Perpetual Protocol Grants Committee to share! These updates include prototypes built by 3 winners of the Gitcoin Schelling Point hackathon, a new grant for an investment tool, and much more that’s happened in the past month.
Let’s get to it and see what amazing things are being built on top of Perp v2!👷
$20K Awarded to Gitcoin Hackathon Winners💰
The Grants Committee has awarded $20,000 in bounties to 3 submissions from the Gitcoin Schelling Point hackathon:
- The winner of the Gitcoin Hackathon, massun-onibakuchi, submitted a JavaScript SDK for interacting with Perp v2 and Subgraph queries.
- One runner up, Jtx, submitted an application called Perpetual Tax which allows users to estimate the tax liabilities of trades on Perp v2. Add your wallet address, dates and then enter your country’s tax rate to get an estimate.
- Another runner up, Rezahsnz, submitted a Perp v2 rest API which can be found on GitHub. The repo contains the necessary code to set up a MongoDB caching mechanism for Perpetual Protocols’s subgraph.
