We would like to have a TCR and accompanying UI for listing all projects in the crypto space. If done well this could replace LinkedIn and be used as a primary reference for business development in the industry.
The TCR should use the same mechanism as HumanityDAO for bootstrapping trust using Twitter. Applicants should have to verify ownership of their projectās official Twitter account to demonstrate the authority to communicate on behalf of the project.
Additional information about the project should be stored on IPFS and referenced by hash. This information should include:
Address - The authorized signer for this project. It should be the same as the Ethereum account used to apply.

MetaCartel would like to deploy the TCR contract to mainnet after a round of review. For the hackathon weād like to see the contracts deployed to a testnet, the UI hosted on a simple server, and the source code with an MIT license.
Please reach out if you have any questions. Weād be happy to provide guidance along the way.
Thanks for the suggestion. This requires PNK kleros tokens, wonder if we can fork it.
Tbh, I would be happy to dish out 4k USD as a bounty for someone to solve this problem perhaps - thereās a ton of research involved with determining whether to fork an existing project or building from scratch.
In this particular situation - focus on the curation part. Search, filters, mobile responsive UI, providing accurate information - thatās the core business. The dispute, appeals, courts, evidence - thatās maybe 5ā10% of the activity, but something that can go infinitely deepā¦ So many edge cases, crypto-economics, game theory-incentives, attack vectors.
Feels a little like Etherscan in the sense that projects typically register some of the info listed out above and verify the process you need to sign a transaction as the contract deployer.
I wonder if you could seed some of the info from verified contracts which already have some of the above?
Just a thought anyways, interested to see the outcome of it.
@Mars we seem to agree on the same note - curation is the most important part! Do you have any ideas / tracks youāve been looking into re: this?
I posted it in TG, but linking here is the lightpaper for the decentralised index Iām working on. The main curation mechanism is Web 2.0 -style reputation, with some added conviction voting + deposits to combat spam (since itās on the public chain).
You mentioned you hold tokens (#bias#fakedaos) and it made me think of something really interesting. Some social filtering based on the tokens you hold/follow.
@Mars It sounds like youāre referencing more advanced types of ādisputesā. Kleros and Aragon seem like good solutions to that class of problem. Iām actually realizing now that I used the wrong word! I meant challenge, as in the core primitive in the standard TCR design. Sorry if that was confusing!
@liamz it looks like what youāre building is an evolution of the TCR/curation market concept. Iāve always thought of TCRās as the simplest way to implement a decentralized list/registry. I agree that reputation / moderation would be an improvement on top of pure coin voting. My sense is that getting this right would require a fair amount of experimentation since it introduces a lot of complexity. I wonder if we could have a test playground that we could use to experiment with your reputation / moderation ideas thatās not as central to the short term projects weāre working toward. Maybe we could use a basic TCR to start and put that behind a proxy contract so that we can upgrade the curation mechanism as those experiments mature.
I was thinking of something similar for www.daospace.org which I was putting together, but this was just a hack job since Iām not a developer. Hereās an idea (which is in a very different direction, but wouldnāt cost anything, and could get up and running within 1 week):
Use a format like the link above (or another tool which would be managed by a DAO approved administrator)
@yaniv would like to get in touch to discuss more this. I agree with this statement - the potential is huge. Currently coinmarketcap and coingecko function as the primary source of all digital assets. Etherscan partly performs the function of being a record of contracts/token symbols. To be āauthoritative recordā the coverage needs to be broad and inclusive which is a challenge in itself. Its interesting you mention LinkedIn, because that is more of a social network, rather than an index of assets/companies.
