models best aligning with jury spot checks win the contest and get their weights chosen for distributing funds to all repos.\n\nThe current deep funding challenge seeks predictions on relative importance between 5000 open source repos powering Ethereum. We also have a leaderboard ranking submissions based on 500 spot checks from a jury\n\nhttps://cryptopond.xyz/modelfactory/detail/2564617\n\nThe end goal is being able to send money to one public key and support all the core Ethereum repos based on their relative importance\n\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "deepfunding", "projectTwitter": "deep_funding"}, "recipient": "0x9DB1071E5D774c0fEF6655314DE69AA67924581D"}}
