About the Bounty

Proto is building the on-chain foundation for maps. Our community has been contributing information about millions of places, and our localcode infrastructure now makes this data composable.

We believe that Proto will lead to the emergence of new markets for map-data, maps, and related products and services.

Localcode is our new tool that lets you convert your addresses into personalized domains. Localcode lets you manage and share your address in an easy and secure manner while letting developers build IRL on-chain products.

Proto is sponsoring a Creator Competition on Superteam Earn, which contains three bounties;

A Meme Contest, A Twitter Thread bounty and A Deep Dive

Each bounty is focused on writing and meme enthusiasts and has its own rewards.

In addition to the individual rewards, the best submission will win 10,000 points bonus on proto.

Anyone who submits to this bounty will automatically qualify for this prize.
