Creating an open protocol to track and verify contributions across projects, even after they end, using blockchain attestations for a transparent and self-owned collaboration graph.

The open collaboration protocol built on Base. Co-create, attest, and own your collaboration graph, forever.

Open to the Public (OTTP) is on a mission to democratize innovation.

Problem

Your work contributions are siloed in various projects, self-reported and unverified, and locked into closed platforms like LinkedIn and GitHub.

Solution

Contributions are recognized and provable, verified by collaborators and organizations via onchain attestations, and self-custodial, meaning your collaboration graph can move freely between apps/clients.

Current State to Future State

See our website or docs for more information about the protocol.

We are raising funds for an open-source collaboration app, built on OTTP. Easily find collaborators, contribute to projects, and put your work conchain.

Play the video (below) of the Figma prototype or explore it yourself.

OTTP web client — v0 prototype

The OTTP front-end will include the basic core features, with a less opinionated structure, which allows different builders to customize it and create clients focused around certain communities or audience segments (DAOs, fractional workers, etc.).

OTTP web client — forked

We will use 100% of the funds to pay for the development of the open web client, mostly in the form of public bounties for front-end development and back-end updates to the protocol and SDK to make it easier for others to fork.

Progress

We participated in Backdrop Build V3 and V4 and were selected as finalists for both.

Since the last Gitcoin round, we created a developer SDK, which has received 1K+ downloads to date. We are preparing to deploy the updated version of our smart contract with additional core features, and have created the initial designs for our open-source front-end.

Plan for the Web Client

We want to raise a minimum of $5K to pay for the development of the core app features. Additional funds could be used to build out additional features.

Core Features:

  • OTTP ID creation
  • ORG ID creation
  • Sign in with Farcaster ID (FID)
  • Sign in with Ethereum address
  • User and organization profiles
  • Project pages
  • Proposals
  • Contribution attestations

Other core protocol features that may be implemented into the web client in the future and available to all builders via the OTTP SDK.

  • Sign in with other methods, e.g. email, Lens, etc.
  • Account recovery
  • Account-abstracted wallets
  • Usernames
  • Comments
  • Upvote/downvote
  • Token-gating
