This is a repost because the last proposal’s 1.8M GTC (99% FOR) did not meet the 2.5M GTC Quorum by current governance rules.

Summary:

Create a $5k quadratic funding round specifically for individuals with the skills to launch a sybil attack to come and claim the funding if they share information on how they do it.

Specification:

Grants Stack makes it extremely easy to spin up a QF round. We will start one with the following rules:

• All non-offensive applications are accepted
• Grants must get at least 100 unique contributions above a 20 passport score to receive any matching payout
• Grants must share a detailed document on how they attacked the system via email before payouts and be available to answer questions (and preferably, but not required: hop on an anonymous voice call)
• 80% matching cap: if a single attacker drastically outcompetes the others they can claim up to $4k
• All donors will be labeled as Sybils in the Passport data sets and may not be able to receive scores or reuse credentials in the future

This will also require support from the MMM team to communicate about the round to draw in participants. This would involve:

• One design asset
• One or two emails
• Several tweets

Vote:

Yes: Pilot the Sybil Attacker QF Round and allocate $5k from the matching pool

No: Do not fund this work and do not move forward

Abstain: I am missing context or this proposal needs more refinement
