zkBob Bounty

Description

Integrate BOB stablecoin and zkBob Direct Deposits functionality into your application. Demonstrate how your app users can benefit from optional transactional privacy with zkBob.

BOB is a decentralized stablecoin with opt-in anonymity and confidentiality features powered by a protocol based on zk-SNARKs. One of the disadvantages of these types of protocols is the sender needs to calculate a proof using their secret key each time, making it difficult to use a smart contract to automate such payments. We've done our best to eliminate this problem by introducing the Direct Deposit feature. You can now send funds to anyone in the privacy pool directly from the smart contract. This feature makes the zkBob protocol much more composable and suitable for integration where funds transfer can be included as a subroutine to other decentralized protocols. See more details in the documentation.

Some ideas (we'd ❤️ to see any other novel use cases) to start brainstorming from:

- Integration within open-source wallets

- Apps for DAO accounting

- Browser extension for zkBob

- Donation/fundraising/tipping apps

- Privacy for P2P micro-transactions

- Integration with DEXs/bridges/aggregators

Bounty

1st prize - 5,000 BOB

2nd prize - 2,000 BOB

Notable projects: pool of 3,000 BOB will be evenly distributed among all other notable submissions

Acceptance criteria

- Creativity, novelty, usefulness for end users and implementation quality.

- Importance of zkBob integration to the overall application/product (i.e. is it integral to app functionality, usefulness and purpose or is it an add-on without a lot of added value).

- Coherent integrations between zkBob and other existing protocols/dApps are appreciated

- Alignment with the BOB and zkBob ecosystem values of on-chain privacy protection within accepted limits.

- *extra credit will apply to solutions using other zkBob components on top of integration with direct deposits (zkBob SDK libraries, gift cards, compliance tooling, deep smart contract integrations, etc.)
