Marketing Tasks & Winners

Introduction to Sögur

First Prize Winner (200 SGR): Adrian Hacker

Sögur’s Fair Launch Explainer

Challenge Description: Before the rebranding to Sögur, this project was known as Saga and had raised $30m in funding. To be eligible to win this bounty your submission should explain in 600–800 words how Sögur achieved a fair launch through the use of its SGN which allows early project funders to convert to SGR only at specific on-chain milestones, namely circulating SGR supply, which correspond to specific conversion ratios.

First Prize Winner (200 SGR): Adrian Hacker

Additional notable submissions (each won 50 SGR): Jameson Hodge, ayobami99

SGR Vs Stablecoins Top 5 Differentiators

Challenge Description: At Sögur we believe the name ‘stablecoin’ is a misnomer. Fiat currencies have experienced significant volatility this year, yet these volatile currencies are what stablecoins are tethered to. We believe SGR presents a stronger solution for storing value. We challenge you to share up to five differentiators between Sögur and fiat-pegged stablecoins, demonstrating the advantages of Sögur.

First Prize Winner (150 SGR): Adrian Hacker

Additional notable submission (won 40 SGR): ayobami99

Why Sögur? Video/Infographic

Challenge Description: Where ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ meets ‘SGR is in the wallet of the holder’ — please submit visual explainers about the SGR project and proposition. Whether you use infographics, animations or video to answer the question ‘Why Sögur?’, we want to see imagination!

First Prize Winner (300 SGR): Lahcen-KH

Additional notable submissions (each won 50 SGR): cryptoblarabi, mandril1, power458, nestorbonilla, writeprovidence

Sögur’s Monetary Model Explainer

Challenge Description: We would like to see educational content for intermediate and advanced crypto users, to communicate the unique value proposition of our Monetary Model. Whether you record a loud or colourful explainer video, or write a sonnet to Sögur — be as creative as you like! Just remember to highlight our bonding curve and unique stabilising mechanisms.

First Prize Winner (300 SGR): nestorbonilla

Dev Tasks & Winners

Arbitrage profit by transacting in both Uniswap and Sogur’s smart contract

Challenge Description: Sögur’s smart contract serves as the main SGR liquidity provider by minting new SGR tokens when ETH is sent to the smart contract, and burning SGR token sent to it and returning their value in ETH. In addition, SGR can be exchanged to and from ETH in both centralised exchanges and DEXs, with the main DEX being Uniswap.

The challenge of this bounty is to write a program that takes advantage of possible arbitrage opportunities between Sögur’s smart contract and Uniswap.

Winner (300 SGR): masaun

Price Monitoring Widget

Challenge Description: We would like to see you build a widget that compares SGR’s price from a range of sources, including the APIs of Sogur, exchanges and price aggregators.

When building the widget you should consider UI+UX performance. Users should be able to intuitively read data from the widget, so we recommend using an interface to the one used in exchanges and price aggregators, such as CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.

Winner (250 SGR): Markichu

Congratulations to all of our winners!
