In November, we launched an online hackathon for Numerai’s protocol, Erasure. Erasure is designed to facilitate data marketplaces with staking mechanisms to minimize trust between parties. The hackathon was focused on building tools to help developers build great applications on Erasure with a specific focus on three areas:

  • Speed up in App Development
  • Seamless Integrations
  • New Frontiers

The hackathon ran for five weeks.orkshops were held with great teams like 3Box, Enigma, and NuCypher. We are excited to announce that we received high-quality submissions to build out a solid infrastructure for the Erasure protocol. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Here are the winners:

First Place: Erasure SDK by Robin Thomas

Erasure SDK is an SDK written in JS to simplify dApp development on top of Erasure.

Second Place: Erascan by Mikhail Lazarev

Erascan is a supplementary tool to help developers who are working on Erasure. Erascan speeds up development by providing comprehensive tools for testing logic and can be used to show lists of proofs, creating feeds, and more. The project is essentially Etherscan for Erasure and provides a UI for Track-record and Agreements. Built on top of @graphprotocol and @IPFS

Third Place: ErasureJS by Kim Bui

ErasureJS is a full-featured modular javascript client to bring Erasure to any app. Built with @ethersproject, @etherlime, @graphprotocol, and @IPFS

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who participated.
