Guides

Linked and hand-crafted

1. octra. Universal encrypted compute - privacy tech.

   Got a bunch of active testnet tasks from July which is just interacting with their deployed contracts.

   It's easy to do and won't take more than a few minutes. The team was kind enough to link a tweet of all the tasks so far and you can find them here

   I'll just link the relevant github repositories

   wallet gen - https://github.com/octra-labs/wallet-gen

   octra pre-client - https://github.com/octra-labs/octra_pre_client

   osc01 test - https://github.com/octra-labs/ocs01-test (to test math contract)

2. Zama. Fully Homormophic Encryption (FHE) tech.

   Very bullish on this one, team and their execution. There are no click guides. The best way to contribute is to take a look at their creator program, which just recently launched and is giving away $53,000 in reward pools or their developer program (if you're savvy) for either their monthly developer program or bounty programs.

   Lots of incentives to be had in both tracks, including their Zama OG NFT. Get on the Discord and start contributing.

3. deBerry's. Ecosystem project on Zama

   Best way to interact is get on their Guild and try to grab a code to become a beta tester. First beta currently closed - more invites soon

4. VEX. Real-time verifiable exchange

   Sign up on the testnet site to get access before testnet-2 which is coming with more updates. 300 invites codes in this tweet, keep an eye out on the X page for more

   It's another CLOB but I'm liking their execution so far (plus platform looks good). Team is web3 native from Celestia, Ren protocol, LI.FI and Aerius labs. They are building a CEX-like trading experience with DEX-level transparency with Celestia underneath. Should be fun, will keep an eye out for this one.

5. Outcome markets. Prediction terminal on Hyperliquid

   Trading competition (testnet) to battletest their platform with a $20k+ prize pool. The competition resumes Monday, Sep. 8 at 3PM GMT+1. Exciting updates around HL aligned markets with Project X, Kinetiq and $USDH (stablecoin on Hyperliquid)

   Also join Discord - https://discord.com/invite/outcome. Community is still pretty small and active
