About
The Smart Contract Research Forum is a community of experimenters.At SCRF, we connect researchers and builders to collaborate on solutions, advance practices, and share resources in the blockchain space. This current project explores the use of reputation NFTs and gamification to enhance forum discussion on open source research I'm Web3. Solutions in the DAO tooling space will be tested. Successful experiments will be applied as case studies and released to the public.
Impact
Over the last year SCRF has conducted dozens of applied experiments, onboarded hundreds into Web3, and incentivized people all over the world to contribute to discussion on Web3 science. We have distributed over $250k of public goods funding to incentivize building in public. This project will help advance the understanding of on-chain reputation which has implications for web3 identify, governance, and impact recognition.
