Build a fully-fledged crypto insurance in 4h – 300K USD DSLA Hackathon

Bonjour HN! I lead the product efforts at DSLA Protocol, a peer-to-peer third-party risk management infrastructure for developers and their communities. tl;dr I wanted to share news about our ongoing hackathon and ways to get started! DSLA Protocol lets anyone manufacture and package their own insurance, or add insurance to any existing product and service offerings. Within hours. Like a factory, but for customer protection and service differentiation. We designed DSLA Protocol as a decentralised alternative to service-level agreements (SLA). Instead of using offline legal documents with a…

In the maker’s words, at launch

Bonjour HN! I lead the product efforts at DSLA Protocol, a peer-to-peer third-party risk management infrastructure for developers and their communities. tl;dr I wanted to share news about our ongoing hackathon and ways to get started! DSLA Protocol lets anyone manufacture and package their own insurance, or add insurance to any existing product and service offerings. Within hours. Like a factory, but for customer protection and service differentiation. We designed DSLA Protocol as a decentralised alternative to service-level agreements (SLA). Instead of using offline legal documents with a lot of intermediaries and poor capital efficiency, service-level agreements become: ‣ parametric: service-level agreements are enforced based on performance parameters sourced from third-party analytics ‣ programmable: anyone can source any performance parameter, and develop any type of service-level agreements ‣ peer-to-peer: anyone can deploy, monitor and enforce service-level agreements without intermediaries ‣ collateralised: Anyone can stake cryptocurrency to predict the evolution of performance parameters and hedge against risk Now... We are currently co-organising the #DubaiDeFi Web 3.0 hackathon with up $300K in prizes. DSLA Protocol is contributing more than $100K in DSLA tokens to the pool: 1st Place: 50K USD in $DSLA 2nd Place: 25K USD in $DSLA 3rd Place: 10K USD in $DSLA Interested in participating? The deadline is November 26, midnight GMT. It's worth noting that: ‣ All accepted hackathon submissions entitle their developer(s) to $1K ‣ All participants can top up their rewards with an extra $25K community prize ‣ The best projects will provide a long-term revenue stream to its developer(s) If you develop a new type of service-level agreement, and it is added to the protocol, you will collect fees every time the agreement is verified. Forever. How to participate? Fast way: 1/ Download the example DSLA Oracle serverless: ‣ https://github.com/Stacktical/stacktical-dsla-oracle-se 2/ Implement your DSLA Oracle serverless: ‣ It must be able to select third party analytics data by consuming public API endpoints ‣ It must be able to select hourly/daily/weekly/bi-weekly/monthly/yearly analytics ‣ It must return a percentage, representing the service performance for the selected period 3/ Create a Github repository, commit and push your code, then submit your repository to [email protected] Strong way: Follow the instructions we share in this blog post https://blog.stacktical.com/mainnet/dev/2021/11/15/stacktical-dsla-protocol-dtk-developer-toolkit-getting-started-blockchain-cryptocurrency-fintech-legaltech-insurtech-itsm-slm-sla-defi-nft.html then follow the steps described in . This step will require you to roll out the full DSLA Protocol stack on your computer, live code the DSLA Oracle serverless, and validate your developments using the DSLA Developer Toolkit CLI commands (DTK). Whether you go fast or strong, ‣ Find an example of performance risk you can measure ‣ Use the DSLA Oracle serverless to source measurements ‣ Return a percentage to DSLA smart contracts through Chainlink Technical support and more information Join the #hackathon-dubaidefi channel of our Discord server: ‣ https://discord.gg/dXYNmkENyx Official hackathon website: ‣ https://dubaidefi.io/ DSLA Developer Toolkit CLI Github ‣ https://github.com/Stacktical/stacktical-dsla-developer-toolkit DSLA Protocol Developer Guide ‣ https://readme.stacktical.com/developer-guide/ DSLA Protocol Community Telegram ‣ https://t.me/stacktical DSLA Network Support Telegram ‣ https://t.me/dsla_network My team and I will also be available here to answer your questions! Good luck to all, Cheers, Wilhem

    ChainBounty – improving the blockchain funding model2017 · ▲11

    Abstract. Token-funded bounties to incentivize competition-style participation in blockchain development projects would result in wider and better allocation of investment, and allow investors to diversify exposure across a field of potentially successful projects. Overall this would increase the rate of progress within development of the blockchain space. We propose a centralised platform for the administration of token-funded bounty driven development projects whereby experts allocate pools of invested capital according to the technical merits of development projects, and investors are…

    My first game – CryptoEmpire.io :)2018 · ▲13

    I know everyone is a bit burned out on blockchain and cryptocurrency related stuff around these parts, but I've been working on as a side project for the last few months and thought you guys might be interested: https://cryptoempire.io/ It's still a bit buggy and incomplete (the mobile ux needs a lot of work, the leaderboard isn't functional yet, etc.), but I've reached a point where I'm not totally ashamed of sharing it :) Any feedback would be most welcome!

    hey hey! I'm the co-founder of squads -- a product that makes it easy to see what your friends and top investors are doing in web3. This product was developed out my own frustration trying to get more involved in web3. One of the greatest challenges in the crypto space is figuring out where to start. For some of us, we're lucky to have a friend who can serve as a guide, and we wanted to build a product that would make introducing your friends to crypto a more inviting experience. There is so much alpha and information living on Twitter + Discord, but the problem is finding the signal from…

    I built a Bitcoin DCA bot – here's whySep 2025 · ▲6

    I started DCA’ing into BTC many years ago. I kept missing buys, buying emotionally into pumps, and forgetting during chop. So I wrote a simple script that hit an exchange API once a day with a fixed amount. Friends asked to use it, so I generalized it and added a DB to manage multiple users. Why I didn’t use existing tools: Most options I tried were either locked to one exchange or did fixed-amount DCA with naive execution. I wanted multi-exchange support and a way to scale buys during dips and preserve capital during rips. I also kept running into inconsistent API rate limits and…

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
