The DAM: Decentralized Autonomous Marketplace

Cyclic Media, Inc. seeks $5,000 to develop the Decentralized Autonomous Marketplace (DAM), a consumer-facing open social platform. Traditional social platforms concentrate profits among a few owners, limiting customization and opportunities for external developers. DAM addresses this by providing a marketplace with a developer-driven components library for web3, traditional apps, AI services, and data solutions.

The DAM allows end-users to customize their experience by integrating apps into their UI. It leverages the SNET marketplace for AI apps, promoting AI app discovery and usage within DAM. This multi-chain, multi-currency platform envisions a diverse ecosystem of apps, widgets, and components.

The project's milestones include exploring AI utility, filtering and matching, data management, hosting, and backlog prioritization. Collaboration with AI developers in the SingularityNET community is planned.

Potential revenue sources include transaction fees, advertising fees, service fees, and venture agreements. The DAM aims to provide user-controlled content moderation and privacy controls, fostering a censorship-resistant environment.

Modelling Water Table Changes in a Virtual World

Xyris XR Design, led by Kenn Mayfield, proposes an ideation project to research and create a working demo of a simulation that models the effects of water table changes in a select meadow/wetlands location. They request $5,000 in AGIX to conduct this research and create a static demonstration dataset. The project aims to address the challenges posed by climate change and its impact on water tables and local ecology.

The proposed solution involves using a ready-to-use multiplayer Unity HDRP environment, which offers high-quality graphics and can be accessed via browser-based pixel streaming for broader accessibility. The simulation will include changeable parameters, moveable objects, and interactive controls to explore the effects of water table changes and ecological dynamics.

The ideation goals include defining geology, hydrology, species behaviors, flora, and other aspects of the simulated environment. The outcomes will help shape a full proposal for Deep Funding Round 4.

Risk mitigation strategies include addressing typical game development risks and ensuring data accuracy and provenance.

Xyris XR Design plans to publicize their work through virtual meetings and social media promotion. The project milestones and cost breakdown include updating the environment, meeting with scientists, researching literature, building a static dataset, and completing the immersive demo.

This ideation project does not expect to generate revenue or produce an open-source service at this stage but aims to lay the groundwork for future development and integration with SingularityNET.

Deepfunding news videos, attracting new developers

Blockchain Cardano proposes to leverage their community management and blockchain knowledge to bridge the gap between the Cardano community and SingularityNET. They plan to achieve this through high-quality video content. The videos will cover introductions to Singularity's AI products and services, as well as overviews and developer tools. These videos aim to educate, engage, and inspire both users and developers, fostering creativity and attracting potential AI developers to participate in Deepfunding.

The requested funding amount is $4,150 to support the creation and promotion of these videos. They outline two milestones: the first involves producing and sharing a series of videos introducing AI applications and Deepfunding, while the second focuses on organizing community activities to engage new developers.

The primary problem addressed is the lack of awareness and interest in SingularityNET among developers. The proposed solution involves creating engaging video content, attracting new developers, and facilitating collaboration within the community.

The proposal acknowledges potential language barriers but aims to mitigate this risk by organizing activities and fostering broader development orientations.

Blockchain Cardano's initiative aims to bring new developers into the SingularityNET ecosystem, potentially expanding its pool of talent and ideas for AI projects.
