Open Grant Proposal: Build a decentralized launchpad based on the Swan Chain.

*Project Name: XSHARES.ONE : Decentralized launchpad

Proposal Category: Integrations.

Individual or Entity Name: organization. XSHARES

Proposer: XShare

Do you agree to open source all work you do on behalf of this RFP under the MIT/Apache-2 dual-license?: "Yes".

Project Summary

The digital asset and investment landscape is evolving rapidly, yet access to high-potential investment opportunities in the primary market remains largely inaccessible to the average investor due to high entry barriers and substantial capital requirements. This exclusivity not only limits the potential for widespread wealth creation but also restricts innovative projects from tapping into a broader investor base. Moreover, early-stage investors often face challenges in liquidating their holdings before an official public listing, leading to capital being locked up without immediate returns. These problems create a gap in the market for a platform that democratizes access to these investment opportunities and provides liquidity solutions for early investors.

XShares aims to bridge this gap by lowering the entry barriers to primary market investments, allowing individuals to invest with smaller capital outlays. This approach opens up a realm of investment opportunities that were previously out of reach for the majority, fostering a more inclusive investment environment. By leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts, XShares ensures a secure, transparent, and efficient transaction process, which is critical for maintaining trust and integrity in these investments.

Furthermore, XShares addresses the need for early liquidity by offering a platform for early investors to trade their shares or tokens. This feature not only benefits the early investors by providing them with a mechanism to realize gains or manage their investment portfolio but also adds depth and vibrancy to the market by increasing the circulation and visibility of these assets. By tackling these issues, XShares not only empowers individual investors but also supports the growth and development of innovative projects, contributing to a more dynamic and accessible investment ecosystem.

This proposal holds significant value for the Swan, Lagrange, or related ecosystems by addressing several critical pain points. Primarily, it seeks to democratize access to early-stage investment opportunities, which are traditionally reserved for a select group of high-net-worth individuals or institutional investors. This exclusivity often leaves a vast majority of potential investors on the sidelines, unable to participate in the growth of groundbreaking projects. Additionally, the current lack of liquidity for early investors before public listing poses a substantial risk, as it ties up capital that could otherwise be deployed towards fostering further innovation or diversification of investment portfolios.

Successfully addressing these issues could bring about transformative benefits. For the ecosystems involved, it means attracting a wider, more diverse investor base, thereby injecting more capital into the ecosystem and encouraging a broader adoption of blockchain and digital asset technologies. It also means innovating the way early-stage investments are made and managed, setting a new standard for transparency, security, and inclusivity. The risks of not addressing these issues are substantial—continued exclusion of a broader investor base could slow down capital inflow into the ecosystem, limiting growth and innovation. Additionally, without a solution for early liquidity, the attractiveness of investing in such ecosystems may diminish, potentially leading to a stagnation or decline in development momentum.

The impact of this project on a specific vertical, market, or ecosystem is multifaceted. It stands to significantly enhance the vibrancy and dynamism of the investment landscape within the blockchain and digital asset space. For projects within the Swan and Lagrange ecosystems, this could mean accelerated growth and development thanks to increased funding and support from a wider community of investors. Success in this endeavor looks like a bustling marketplace where investors of all sizes have equitable access to promising early-stage projects, and where liquidity is no longer a barrier to investment but a feature of the ecosystem. This will not only bolster the financial health of the ecosystems but also foster a culture of innovation and participation that could have far-reaching effects beyond the immediate market.

PrivyML as a ZKML solution on the Swan network, aims to facilitate the implementation and execution of the ZKML concept on the Swan network. It integrates Crux to bridge the gap between machine learning developers and the Swan network, zero-knowledge proof systems, and zkDSL.
The PrivyML arketplace Protocol helps zkDSL ZKML contract developers get their due from the demand side. It also enables hardware providers to receive rewards from zkDSL Dapp projects for computing proofs.

Impact

In a world where AI-generated content is becoming increasingly similar to human-created content, the potential application of zero-knowledge cryptography can help us determine if a specific piece of content was generated by applying a specific model to a given input. If zero-knowledge circuit representations are created for large language models like GPT-4, text-to-image models like DALL-E 2, or any other model, it provides a way to verify the outputs of these models. The zero-knowledge properties of these proofs also allow us to hide parts of the input or the model if needed. A good example is when applying machine learning models on sensitive data, users can know the inference results of the model on their data without revealing their input to any third party (e.g., in the healthcare industry).
Note: When we talk about ZKML, we refer to creating zero-knowledge proofs for the inference steps of ML models, not the training of ML models (which is already computationally intensive in itself).
The current state of zero-knowledge systems, coupled with high-performance hardware, still has several orders of magnitude gap in proving large-scale models like Large Language Models (LLMs) that are currently available. However, progress has been made in creating proofs for smaller models.
While ZKML is rapidly improving and optimizing, it still faces some core challenges. These challenges include both technical and practical aspects, such as:
1. Quantization with minimal precision loss.
2. Huge Circuit size, especially when the network consists of many layers.
3. Efficient proofs for matrix multiplications.
4. Adversarial attacks.
5. Lack of realization of completed user stories
6. User Friendly Experience
7. Lack of developers with both zero-knowledge proofs and machine learning technology stacks
PrivyML is committed to solving the above problems.

Outcomes

Crux zkDSL Library

The ONNX runtime built in zkDSL by Crux establishes a transparent, verifiable, and fully open-source inference framework, providing runtime capabilities for verifiable ML model inference using Swan. Crux leverages Ethereum to ensure the reliability of inference and offers developers a user-friendly framework for building complex verifiable machine learning models.
Crux provides three APIs: Operators, Numeric Types, and High-Performance Circuit Optimization Implementation.

1. Operators: It offers a comprehensive set of standard mathematical functions and operations specifically designed for computing neural network models, compatible with the ONNX standard. It introduces tensor types, including basic linear algebra operations like matrix multiplication (matmul), as well as neural network functions like softmax and linear layers. With this API, developers can efficiently perform neural network computations using various functions.
2. Numeric Types: It extends ZkDSL's built-in numeric capabilities by introducing signed integers and fixed-point implementations. By integrating these functionalities, developers can handle a broader range of numeric data types, enabling more precise calculations in their applications.
3. High-Performance Circuit Optimization Implementation: This includes a set of functions aimed at improving model performance. Memory efficiency and computational speed are well-known for their significance in machine learning applications. Therefore, our initial version supports 8-bit quantization. This feature reduces memory footprint, accelerates model computation, and allows you to build more efficient and faster ML applications without sacrificing accuracy.

Proof Marketplace

Project Summary

The essence of the decentralized storage ecosystem is to reduce the cost of user storage needs through decentralized storage services. The lower the cost of the storage ecosystem, the stronger its competitiveness and the better its development. Generally speaking, in the decentralized storage ecosystem, Filecoin primarily aims to reduce the storage hardware and its operational costs through a storage network, while Swan is mainly used to reduce the computational hardware and operational costs. In addition, reducing data size through data compression to significantly lower data storage costs and operational costs is also a very important method to promote the development of the ecosystem, especially for complex large-scale data such as genomic sequencing data and marine simulation data. These types of data often amount to petabytes and grow rapidly. Effectively reducing storage costs through efficient compression algorithms is a very promising entrepreneurial direction to promote the decentralized storage ecosystem.

This project is dedicated to designing compression algorithms for complex large-scale data, utilizing the SWAN computing power network to effectively execute the compression algorithms to compress the data within the Filecoin storage network. Subsequently, data is stored with storage service providers through the Filecoin storage network, ultimately achieving a significant reduction in storage costs and promoting the development of both the SWAN computing power network and the Filecoin storage network, thereby fostering the growth of the decentralized storage ecosystem.

Impact

• Significantly reduce the cost of decentralized storage, enhance the competitiveness of the ecosystem, and prosper the SWAN computing power network and Filecoin storage network.

Pain points addressed: The project addresses the inefficiency in utilizing GPU resources, where a significant amount of computational power remains idle, especially in non-peak hours..

Benefits and risks: The benefits include more efficient use of computational resources, reduced costs for AI projects, and faster processing times for AI-driven applications. The risks of not implementing this effectively include continued inefficiency in resource utilization, high operational costs for AI projects, and potential centralization in AI computation.

Market impact: The project will have a significant impact on the blockchain and AI ecosystems, particularly for applications requiring real-time processing and analysis. Success looks like a widely adopted network that seamlessly integrates with existing blockchain and AI infrastructures, leading to noticeable improvements in computational efficiency and cost reduction.

Outcomes

The final outcomes will include a decentralized network that allows for the monetization of idle GPU resources and the deployment of AI models closer to end-users. This network will provide a platform for developers to access cheaper and faster computing power, and for miners to earn from their unused resources.

Success will be measured by the amount of computational power integrated into the network, the number of active developers deploying AI models, the reduction in latency and cost for AI-driven applications, and the overall adoption and growth of the network.

Adoption, Reach, and Growth Strategies

The target audience includes cryptocurrency miners with idle GPU resources and developers of AI-driven applications seeking affordable and efficient computing power. The audience size is potentially large, encompassing the global community of miners and AI developers.

Strategies for onboarding new users include partnerships with mining pools and communities, collaborations with AI and blockchain development platforms, and offering incentives for early adopters.

Open Grant Proposal: Power Voting

Project Name:Power Voting.

Proposal Category: Applications.

Individual or Entity Name: Black Domain DAO.

Proposer: xianglinhe.

Do you agree to open source all work you do on behalf of this RFP under the MIT/Apache-2 dual-license?: Yes.

Project Summary

Swan is a leading provider of cross-chain cloud computing solutions.

Power Voting utilizes Drand TimeLock technology to achieve fair and private voting. Before the voting deadline, no one’s voting results will be seen by others, and the voting process will not be disturbed by other participant’s voting results. After the voting deadline, anyone can count the votes in a decentralized manner, and the results of the counting will executed and stored by smart contract and will not be manipulated by any centralized organization or individual.

Power Voting aims to become the infrastructure of DAO governance on Swan chain.

Impact

1. Solved the problem of lacking a native DAO governance tool on Swan Chain.
2. Solved the problem of existing voting DAO governance tools on the market that do not allow various roles such as Swan's developers, storage providers, stakers, and others to participate in the voting governance.
3. Bring more fairness and efficiency to community governance for Swan.

Outcomes

The project will include three parts:

1. Utilizes Drand TimeLock technology to achieve fair and private voting. Before the voting deadline, no one’s voting results will be seen by others, and the voting process will not be disturbed by other participant’s voting results.
2. Uses UCAN delegation to proxy the accounts of various roles such as developers, stakers, storage providers, token holders, etc., to the Swan chain accounts, in order to represent these accounts in contract voting operations on the Swan chain.
3. Uses a decentralized Power Oracle to obtain the weights of various roles such as developers, stakers, storage providers, token holders, etc., and converting them into standardized voting weights, which are then stored on the Swan chain for use by the power voting contract.

Adoption, Reach, and Growth Strategies

A DAO community is typically composed of various roles, but common community governance tools often limit voting participation to token holders only. Power Voting enables fair and private participation in community governance voting for roles such as developers, stakers, storage providers, and token holders. It allows the community to evolve towards greater decentralization and democracy. Power Voting aims to become the infrastructure for DAO governance on Swan chain.

Open Grant Proposal: More useful lagrange space

More useful lagrange space:

Proposal Category: Other.

Individual or Entity Name: organization.

Proposer: harleyLuke

**Do you agree to open source all work you do on behalf of this RFP under the MIT/Apache-2 dual-license?:**Yes.

Project Summary

I have been following the Swan project since the beginning of the testnet, and I admire Lagrange's ideas. But as of now, I have searched almost all the spaces, but I have not found a very useful space. The quality of the existing spaces is relatively low. In my opinion lagrange needs some high quality, useful space for users. So I want to build a github project to build a space that I think is useful at this stage, and set up a community to collect ideas from Web3 users, and then build interesting ideas into spaces.

Open Grant Proposal: Develop the 'zk-Useful Work' system utilizing zero-knowledge proofs to ensure tasks are verifiable and rewards are equitable and transparent.

Project Name:zk-Useful Work

Proposal Category: Applications

Individual or Entity Name: Swift DAO

Proposer: Cc-a23187

(Optional) Swan ecosystem affiliations: None

(Optional) Technical Sponsor: None

Do you agree to open source all work you do on behalf of this RFP under the MIT/Apache-2 dual-license?: Yes

Project Summary

Leveraging zero-knowledge proofs enables the verification of extensive computations within Solidity programs, even very large ones. While traditional blockchains often reward people based on minor data points (successful DeFi trades, unique human identity, airdrop sign-ups), there is an untapped potential to reward larger, objectively verifiable tasks like solving complex math problems or conducting physics simulations.

Long-standing initiatives like folding@home and the BOINC initiative encourage people to contribute to solving computational problems. However, these systems lack financial incentives for participants.

In cryptographic literature, these proofs of extensive computations fall under the category of Proofs of (Useful) Work, typically used for rate limiting or consensus. There have been several attempts at incorporating Proofs of Useful Work in consensus, such as PrimeCoin. Yet, our goal would be solely to reward individuals for their useful work.

Interestingly, the Swan network partially incorporates this by rewarding users for creating zero-knowledge proofs. It would be beneficial to extend this to reward people for solving other computational challenges.

We propose a platform that leverages the Swan network to reward individuals for solving computational problems, which contributes to the greater good of the Swan network. By using zero-knowledge proofs, we aim to create a system where tasks are verifiable and the rewards are fair and transparent. This will incentivize individuals to participate and contribute their computational resources.

Impact

By making use of zero-knowledge proofs, we can incentivize the world to solve real computational problems and be fairly rewarded for this. And all of this in a trustless way. The resulting solutions, from the travelling salesman problem to prime search, could help make numerous systems in the world more secure, efficient and smart.

• To build a platform that rewards users for solving computational problems and contributing to the greater good.
• To apply zero-knowledge proofs for the verification of tasks and fair distribution of rewards.
• To inspire more people to contribute their computational resources by providing financial incentives.

Outcomes

Through zero-knowledge proofs, we can encourage the global community to solve real computational problems and reward them fairly in a trustless manner. The solutions, ranging from the traveling salesman problem to prime search, can enhance the security, efficiency, and intelligence of numerous global systems.

The proposed platform aims to transform the way computational challenges are tackled. By offering financial incentives, we can stimulate more individuals to leverage their computing resources. This approach not only expedites the process of solving complex issues but also democratizes access to high-performance computing. Moreover, the use of zero-knowledge proofs makes the process fair, transparent, and verifiable, fostering trust in the system.

Introducing a financially incentivized problem-solving system within the Swan ecosystem could also increase interaction with Swan and Web3 technologies. This could potentially grow the user base and cultivate a diverse community of contributors. Furthermore, the success of this project could inspire the integration of financial incentives into other computational and problem-solving areas, thereby spurring innovation in the wider blockchain and cryptocurrency realm.

To-do list:

• Research on the concept of zero-knowledge proofs and its applications in verifying useful work.
• Review cryptographic literature on Proofs of (Useful) Work.
• Study how the Swan network rewards users for creating zero-knowledge proofs.
• Identify potential computational problems that can be solved using zero-knowledge proofs.
• Formulate a strategy to leverage the Swan network to reward individuals for solving identified computational problems.
• Build a prototype platform that rewards users for solving computational problems.
• Apply zero-knowledge proofs to the platform for task verification and reward distribution.
• Test the prototype platform to check its functionality and efficiency.
• Refine the platform based on the test results.
• Launch the finalized platform.
• Monitor the performance of the platform and make necessary adjustments or improvements.

Adoption, Reach, and Growth Strategies

• Prepare a document explaining why this specific computational problem or set of problems is more suitable for a bounty on Layer2 than on a public blockchain like Swan.
• Create a detailed guide on how users can deploy the contract, submit bounties, and offer solutions.
• Develop a zkDSL program for one specific computational problem, adhering to the design specifications.
• Optional: Depending on the problem, rewarding partial work may be possible. For example, in the Mersenne primes search, rewards could be given for confirming which numbers are not Mersenne primes, though this might increase computational overhead. For your chosen problem, estimate the computational resources and costs for covering a search area. Consider if offering rewards for partial work is viable, assuming coordination to avoid duplicate searches.
• Optional: Foster partnerships with academic institutions and research organizations to diversify the computational problems addressed by the platform.
• Optional: Continually refine and enhance the platform based on user feedback and technological developments.
• Optional: Grow the user base and improve platform accessibility, making computational problem-solving and blockchain technology more user-friendly for the general public.

Development Roadmap

The project is complex, requiring a multi-stage approach split into milestones. Initial efforts will focus on research and formalization of a computational problem that can be encoded into a Solidity program. Following this, a basic Solidity program will be developed that can check for correct solutions and reveal them. Optionally, a more sophisticated Solidity program can be developed that only reveals the solution to the bounty offered.
