🏆 LIVEPEER PRIZE OVERVIEW🏆 

🥇 First Place:  $2000
🥈 Runner-Up:  $1500 (x2)

Choose one of the following challenge areas for your hack!

⚖️ Content Moderation for Social Media

Moderation of content online is a complex and critical problem. We'd love to see a service that can provide metadata on video assets to help with content moderation, so an application can use it in combination of the current Livepeer streaming API. One idea is a service that detects NSFW and CSAM content and create attestations. Another idea is to implment Matrix-style decentralized / federated moderation tools with Livepeer and Lens or Bluesky : https://matrix.org/docs/guides/moderation 

👯 Interactive Live Streaming 

Livepeer's new multi-participant live streaming feature (beta*) allows anyone to build an "Twitter Spaces" or "Instagram Live" style application, where a group can join an audio/video room that interact in real time, and broadcast it to a bigger audience.  We want to see applications that leverage web3 building blocks to create token incentives around interactive live experiences.  Inspirations:  PleasrDAO Sock Burn 🧦 🔥 (https://decrypt.co/124155/pleasrdao-socks-fire-burn-unisocks-tokens-real-socks), TikTok live 
*NOTE: We are releasing this feature as a closed beta for HackFS participants! Please ping us here or shoot me a DM if you'd like to try this feature !  https://docs.livepeer.org/guides/developing/multiparticipant-stream

🤫  Private Video NFTs

A video version of stealcam.com, where NFTs are only viewable by the owner, and user can bid on the ownership in order to see what's the content.  This can be done through Livepeer's new encrypted video upload + access control feature.
https://docs.livepeer.org/guides/developing/access-control-vod 

⛓️ Verifiable and Onchain Video 

Livepeer recently launched a public, open source initiative with the goal of exploring new capabilities at the intersection of blockchain and video streaming (intro video: https://lvpr.tv/?v=539dq5qjfrx1o353).  Some of the topics include creator signing, video provenance, and decentralized video streaming in general. Check out the project page for hack ideas! https://www.notion.so/livepeer/Verifiable-and-Onchain-Video-959881fead9f4c738f67044687863463

🥇 $2,500

🥈 $1,500

🥉 $1,000

**What do we want you to build:**

🤝 **Best use of ComposeDB models/composites for DAO contributor reputation data**

DAO space is an extremely interesting area where data sovereignty as well as interoperability are important aspects for this space to grow and evolve. We would like to challenge developers to build tools and applications that can improve the collaboration between DAO contributors - better ways to facilitate discussions, proposal reviews or tools to make it easier to track member contributions and enable DAO members to build their interoperable contribution profiles.

Key requirement for this bounty - the tool must demonstrate data interoperability by reusing at least one existing data model.

🤖 **Best AI-powered application built using ComposeDB on Ceramic**

AI is an extremely exciting space right now with so many tools being developed. We would like to challenge developers to build innovative AI-powered applications that leverage ComposeDB models for storing the data, making data more accessible and creating better user experiences through AI and data interoperability. Collaborative prompting, web3 AI assistants, data marketplaces - those are just a few ideas for you to consider.

🔧 **Best integration between Ceramic and another sponsoring partner technology that demonstrate data interoperability**

We want you to be extra creative and showcase your best attempt at creating dApps that integrate Ceramic and at least one more sponsoring partner. Your dApp should showcase the power of data interoperability by reusing at least one existing data model.
