Bounty Brief #35
Bounties galore
Hey there Bounty Hunters,
We’ve got plenty of ways for you to get paid this week, from giveaways to scavenger hunts, and more. All that, plus a new bounty program ready for you, along with plenty of other chances to earn ready for you to dive into this week.
Let’s get started.
Paraswap 🪂
[Easy] New Active Users
Bounty: Up to 769.24 PSP
Show the number of new unique users (wallets) per day that transacted with ParaSwap over the past two months.
[Medium] Monthly Swap Volume
Bounty: Up to 1,538.27 PSP
Show the total monthly swap volume on ParaSwap over the past year. How has the swap volume changed over time? Which DEX’s is most of the swap volume coming from?
[Hard] Token Activity
Bounty: Up to 5,384 PSP
What do people do with their PSP tokens? Once people acquire PSP tokens what do they do with them? Do they stake them? How long do they hold them for? Show the journey of PSP tokens.
[Hard] Paradrop Airdrop Assessment
Bounty: Up to 8,163 PSP
Paraswap recently undertook a novel approach to conducting their airdrop. Provide a well-reasoned assessment: was this an effective airdrop design or not? What does it demonstrate about how to conduct airdrops to accomplish particular goals? How are you measuring these?
Define and display at least two data-driven metrics for effective airdrops to support your answer.
⚡ THORChain
[Easy] LP Participation
Bounty: Up to 44.12 RUNE
How many RUNE addresses are currently providing liquidity in 1 pool? 2 pools? 3+ pools?
[Easy] Price Correlation
Bounty: Up to 44.12 RUNE
Is there any kind of correlation between the prices of $RUNE, $XRUNE, $THOR?
[Hard] RUNE Price after Cap Raises
Bounty: Up to 147.04 RUNE
During the chaosnet phase, THORChain has limited the amount of funds stored in liquidity pools to allow for gradual growth of the ecosystem and reduce downside risk in the case of a hack. They have now gone through several periods where the caps have been raised and additional liquidity is allowed to flow into the network (you have have noticed the #RAISETHECAPS battlecry of the THORChads in the ecosystem). Is there a noticeable pattern of the price of $RUNE during these times where the caps are raised?
[Hard] Sankey Swap Diagrams
Bounty: Up to 147.04 RUNE
Produce a Sankey chart of the most common swaps. Velocity doesn’t currently support Sankey charts, so feel free to get creative with how you produce them!
ENS 📛
[Easy] Claim vs Price
Bounty: Up to 6.88 ENS
Make a scatterplot showing the relationship between ENS price and the number of airdrops claimed.
Using the 'unearned income' model, where a registration's fees are 'earned' over the duration of the registration, what does ENS's income for the next year look like?
[Easy] Was the ENS airdrop a secret?
Bounty: Up to 6.88 ENS
Look at ENS registrations before and after the cutoff date for the airdrop. Do you notice anything suspicious that makes you think that some people knew the airdrop was coming?
[Hard] How much money is being spent on temporary premiums?
Bounty: Up to 22.88 ENS
When an ENS name first expires and becomes available for reregistration, it starts with a temporary premium of $2000 on top of the usual price, which diminishes to 0 over a 28 day period. How much is being spent on these premiums, and what percentage of names are registered with a premium? What is the average premium paid on a name?
[Hard] ENS vs Gas
Bounty: Up to 22.88 ENS
ENS registration is cheap, but gas is not. Do more people register domains when gas is lower? Was there a spike in registrations when during recent ETH price dips?
