We’ve revamped our prediction market contracts and created the new conditional tokens smart contracts. Conditional tokens are a fundamentally new type of asset class based on the ERC1155 token standard, which allows you to use multiple types of tokens within a single application. In prediction markets applications, conditional tokens allow you to:
- Make simple markets on the likelihood of a given event.
- Make complex markets about how the likelihood of an event is affected by any other event.
- Trade any asset under the condition that a specific event happens.
Currently, prediction markets are our main use case for conditional tokens. However, conditional tokens are so versatile that they can be used for many different applications—from games with in-game assets like rewards and incentives to grant systems with conditional payouts based on milestones being reached.
To encourage the development of conditional tokens use cases, we are reaching out to the community for inspiration. We will give out Nanogrants from $50 to $500 for exceptional use cases. We will reward the best Twitter threads with $50 Nanogrants, payouts for projects using alternative mediums (e.g. blogpost or community call) will be determined based on their complexity and utility.
The GECO Nanogrants program will run via Bounties.Network. You can submit your project idea on their platform. At the end of each month, we will select the best submissions.
We will consider projects that showcase interesting and new use cases for conditional tokens. We are especially interested in use cases that spark discussion within the ecosystem.
The use case description can be submitted in different forms:
- Twitter threads
- Blog post or article
- Video
- Proof of Concept
- Platform integration
- Community call
- …
Please submit a proposal first if you will be creating a video, proof of concept, platform integration, or leading a community call.
