Cardano Faucet Challenge

Adoption & Fun

May lead to Dapps, on-chain use & promotion of information about Cardano

Interest & adoption by the wider crypto community

An ongoing Faucet(s) that continues to draw people into Cardano

Fun for our community

Has the faucet been used? - have the reward funds been used up

Did it increase user wallet adoption?

Did it use on-chain features? E.g. metadata or Dapps

Did it promote information about Cardano? Integration with current ADA infrastructure e.g. pooltool, adapools

Was it secure? Privacy of participants, lack of bot attacks

Growth e.g. mentions across ADA social media

Were the "tokenomics" correct? Did it provide too much or too little reward for participating?

Cost of creation vs prize fund amount

Bonus Metric: ease of use or "Proof of Dad" Get Charles to mention in one of his AMA's that his Dad used your faucet

Create some interesting, fun, secure Faucets that promote Cardano

Addressing the Assessments

Firstly if you assessed my proposal or even if you just read this far - Thanks!

Experience Worries - You don't understand the challenge. I am not making the faucets, I haven't proposed my idea disguised as a challenge. Address these to those who actually submit ideas to the challenge if/when it gets through to fund 5. I've pointed this question out as unneccessary (in a community fund proposal setting) to the catalyst team but understand it is early days, things will get reused that need to be asked of actual projects.

Funding Allocation - Of the $80k ($100k less the 20% in rewards to voters) I think it should be $79,999 to one proposer to build a faucet that gives away $1
seriously though its not up to me to set guidelines for the proposers but I imagine 4-5 winners asking for $16k-20k each with $1k-2K to build it and a $14k-19k as faucet funds if you really want to know my perfect outcome

Wallet Adoption Metric - Yeah this could be hard to measure i was just chucking things out there that people may want to measure for success

Cardano Doesn't Need Faucets, it's Great the Way it is - You're probably right, but it may be fun for some people.
People Won't Do Anything for Small Amounts of ADA from a Faucet - Tell that to the people who complained in the bitcoin forums to Charles about only getting paid 0.05btc for answering a question

I do wish we'd been able to discuss these points in the comments before the assessment stage but i understand there were so many proposals to read through, thanks again!
