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
You own verified records of what you’ve done and who you collaborated with.
Contributions are recognized and provable, verified by collaborators via onchain attestations, and self-custodial, meaning your collaboration graph can move freely between apps/clients.
How It Works
OTTP protocol design using onchain attestations:
- Subjects: identities who take actions
- Objects: containers created by subjects
- Blocks: object subcomponents created by subjects
- Links: verified connections between subjects and objects
Any subject (individual or team) can create an object. To start, there are four object types: Project, Proposal, Milestone, and Contribution. Blocks are subcomponents that can point to onchain or off-chain data (files, images, links, etc.). Every link (connection) between subjects and/or objects can be verified by an onchain attestation.
See our website or docs for more information about the protocol. View the user flow here.
Web client
To demo the protocol, we’re developing an open-source web client built on OTTP. It will demonstrate how users can easily find collaborators, contribute to projects, and put their work conchain.
Check out the video below of the Figma prototype or explore it yourself.
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.).
We are raising funds for the continued development of the open protocol, including an updated SDK. We will use 100% of the funds for development, mostly in the form of public bounties.
Progress
This year, we went from zero to live protocol during Backdrop Build V3, and we were selected as V3 and V4 finalists.
Since the last Gitcoin OSS 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.
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
- Milestones
- 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.
