Project: MobyMask Improvement

Title: MobyMask Improvement Proposal Champion: Bruce Date: 2022-12-20

TLDR;

MobyMask is a public good for reporting Twitter phishers, based on Delegatable. It was proposed by Dan Finlay (Founder and Group Manager at MetaMask) in a ConsenSys Hackathon, but Dan doesn't have enough energy to make this MVP production ready to use. This is a perfect project that meets LXDAO's mission and core values. Let's help MobyMask!

Description

In short, Delegatable enabled more powerful and flexible access control for Smart Contracts. The Smart Contract owner can delegate their access to other addresses to do some operations on the owner's behalf. And MobyMask is the first App based on it. Currently, there is a contract as a phisher registry, the owner of the registry contract can invite trustable reporters to report Twitter phisher accounts to this registry. If the invitee finds some of their inviters are abusing MobyMask, they can revoke their access.

Please check MobyMask research and improvements for more details about MobyMask and Delegatable.

For the past few weeks, we (Echo, 0x1998, Dyson, and Bruce) have analyzed the product and made a presentation to Dan, also confirmed with him regarding some details and collaboration agreements. Now, it's time to move on to the next phase. The presentation slide is https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jlwVXgKSE6cA25Cp-CjPFwLd5CMAODWiq2SGavo5bgQ/edit#slide=id.g1ab26ccbd20_0_0.

Exciting points: your work might be introduced into MetaMask!

• 7800 LXP used for developments
  • Budget will be distributed according to the milestone, and distribution details will be discussed after the team is assembled.
• 1500 LXP reserved buffer

Revenue distribution

Grants:

• 15% for LXDAO treasury
• 85% for contributors

Others (e.g., donations or sponsorship to LXDAO through MobyMask):

• 30% for LXDAO treasury
