Concentrating unbiased blockchain research into a single, _chain-agnostic, civil, and trustworthy space_ accelerates existing work in the field. It sparks the kind of collaborations between academia and industry that created the modern Internet. 10 | 11 | ## What we are looking for 12 | 13 | In order to bridge the divide between industry and academia, the problem-havers and the problem-solvers, we require individuals who are capable of sourcing and summarizing new and existing research. 14 | 15 | The Research Team is the foundation of the forum, and it is their mission to ensure that a steady stream of new and meritorious research is being surfaced to their peers as well as the industry in general. They do this by selecting the best papers from various crypto-related disciplines and summarize them for greater accessibility. 16 | 17 | SCRF content is crafted to surface cutting-edge research and present it in a more succinct format than what is found in a full-fledged research publication. Our goal is to synthesize research, normalize concepts and terminology, and ultimately provide a strong backbone for engaging, objective conversations to take place. 18 | 19 | Given the existing body of research around blockchain and supporting technologies, we also want to positively contribute to researchers working on their publications. We are cognizant that Literature Reviews, Related Works, and Theses can take a considerable amount of time and effort for researchers and post-docs exploring this space. SCRF can be the place where that research is monetized and converted into the form of Research Summaries, which can be shared with the ecosystem. 20 | 21 | * [Some current examples](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/tag/summary) 22 | 23 | In addition to researchers, we're also looking for moderators, editors, project managers, social media experts, among other roles. 24 | 25 | ## Compensation 26 | 27 | There's a wide variety of work to be done at SCRF, from writing Research Summaries to copy editing and graphic design to various administrative roles. We support flexible payment schedules, honoraria, grants, and other arrangements. 28 | 29 | As our researchers become more deeply engaged with the project, or take on larger pieces of work, we have longer-term relationships available, including salaried positions. 30 | 31 | _We pay in cryptocurrency. For longer commitments, alternative arrangements can be made._ 32 | 33 | If you are unable to accept direct payments because of your university or funding agency, we can discuss alternative options. These could include: 34 | 35 | * funding a project 36 | * conference travel 37 | * charitable donations to an endowment in lieu 38 | * credits for compute resources, archive nodes, etc 39 | * supporting a blockchain-related organization or event of your choice 40 | 41 | We pay depending on the complexity of the work and the time involved. Researchers that commit to longer-term engagements, and have produced a good body of work for the forum, are encouraged to seek additional and more lucrative responsibilities. 42 | 43 | ## How we Communicate 44 | 45 | **Chat:** We use our [#general chat](https://discord.gg/cRVjvJYybX) for discussions about content, blockchain-related events, coordination, and project planning. 46 | 47 | **Project Management:** All the work that SCRF produces is created collaboratively in a [public document pipeline](https://github.com/orgs/smartcontractresearchforum/projects/5). Please feel free to look around. 48 | 49 | **Live meetings:** We have several weekly meetings for pitching ideas, status updates, projects and processes, and planning forum engagement. 50 | 51 | ## How to apply 52 | 53 | If you are an academic, a researcher, or an industry participant with deep insight into blockchain technologies and are comfortable with writing literature reviews, research summaries, long-form technical blog posts, or have even published original research; we would like to talk. 54 | 55 | Interested applicants should send us an [email](mailto:content@scrf.io) that outlines: 56 | 57 | * Why you are interested in the space. 58 | * Which projects you are most interested in, and why. 59 | * Any project or research affiliations you may have. 60 | * _And includes links to three of your best blog posts, articles, or other writing that is related to blockchain research._ 61 | 62 | Please feel free to come and introduce yourself in our [Chat](https://discord.gg/cRVjvJYybX) as well. 63 | 64 | Another great way to introduce yourself to us is to find a thread on the [SCRF website](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/) and add a well-reseasoned or insightful comment to one of the discussions. 65 | 66 | If you would like to get some deeper insight into how we do work and what we have on the go, you can also have a look at our [project boards](https://github.com/orgs/smartcontractresearchforum/projects). 67 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /en/grants_impact_award.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # SCRF Impact Award 2 | 3 | The [Smart Contract Research Forum](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/) (SCRF) has created the Impact Award to honor researchers whose work represents exceptional achievement, particularly in underappreciated or novel areas of blockchain research. 4 | 5 | ## Overview 6 | 7 | The SCRF Impact Award recognizes researchers who are contributing valuable work to the ecosystem. Impact Award grants are announced on SCRF’s [forum](smartcontractresearch.org) every month. 8 | 9 | ## Eligibility 10 | 11 | Researchers whose work is featured in a [Research Pulse](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/tag/research-pulse), [Research Summary](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/tag/summary), or showcased in some other interaction on SCRF’s forum are eligible for recognition as a part of this program. 12 | 13 | ## Compensation & Logistics 14 | 15 | Award recipients will receive a $1,000 allocation in recognition of their contributions. SCRF issues funds in cryptocurrency.

The program's goal is to extend microgrants to academics and researchers to write [Research Summaries](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/tag/summary) based on African academic papers, regional blockchain [case studies](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/t/744), or regional [use case examinations](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/t/1176). 8 | 9 | From the early adoption of solar power to mobile phone usage and mobile payments, Africa has a long history of technological "leapfrogging." The continent has proven time and again that it is capable of radical technical innovation and developing nations in the region are perfectly positioned to leapfrog the legacy financial system through the widespread adoption of blockchain. Yet, these developments remain largely unknown outside of Africa. 10 | 11 | Through this program, SCRF aims to publish a steady stream of public and open African-focused research that may not be available to the broader crypto community. 12 | 13 | ## Eligibility 14 | 15 | Graduate and undergraduate students are eligible for participation in this program. Academics, researchers, and industry participants are also welcome to [apply](https://forms.gle/GLvFbGZekjaAggXr8). Applicants should be affiliated with an African university, an African research institution, or come from an African country while currently studying abroad. 16 | 17 | ## How to Qualify 18 | 19 | Applicants should have interest and insights into blockchain technologies and be comfortable writing Research Summaries, Case Study Summaries, or Use Case examinations. 20 | 21 | To be considered for this grant, first, submit an [application](https://forms.gle/GLvFbGZekjaAggXr8). Upon approval, complete a Research Summary, Case Study Summary, or Use Case examination within four to eight weeks. The program completion time depends upon the length of the article or paper and the review process that occurs to ensure the summaries achieve the highest quality. During this time, researchers are expected to attend regular check-in meetings, which can be coordinated using this [calendar link](https://calendly.com/chrisbates01/30min). 22 | 23 | SCRF may offer long-term opportunities to successful grantees and ask them to submit additional grant applications. 24 | 25 | ## Compensation & Logistics 26 | 27 | Grant recipients will receive $300 to write a single Research Summary, Case Study Summary, or Use Case examination. 28 | 29 | SCRF pays in cryptocurrency. For longer commitments, alternative arrangements can be made. Follow the steps outlined in "[How to Get Compensated for Work](https://github.com/smartcontractresearchforum/docs/blob/main/en/content_how_to_get_compensated_for_work.md)" to claim the grant after SCRF announces the recipients. 30 | 31 | If unable to accept funds directly, alternative options could include: 32 | 33 | * Funding a project 34 | * Conference travel 35 | * Charitable donations to an endowment 36 | * Credits for cloud computing resources, archive nodes, etc. 37 | * Direct support of a blockchain-related organization or event of choice 38 | 39 | ## Learn More About SCRF 40 | 41 | SCRF is an interactive forum supported by an active international community.

To succeed in this quest, SCRF facilitates resource and knowledge exchange, sponsors projects, and constructs collaborative forums. SCRF is comprised of an active international network of academics, industry architects, and blockchain advocates. 7 | 8 | SCRF was founded in early 2021 by [Richard Brown](https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardgbrown/), former Head of Community at [MakerDAO](https://makerdao.com/en/), and [Sergey Nazarov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergeydnazarov/), the co-founder of [Chainlink](https://chain.link/). Since its inception, SCRF has sponsored notable research projects such as [Professor Seth Frey](https://twitter.com/enfascination)’s literature review on [building culture across disciplines](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/t/project-update-building-culture-in-decentralized-organizations-intentionally-and-systematically/1358), Metagov’s Govbase [open database project](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/t/introducing-govbase-an-open-database-for-governance-models/924), [Professor Nathan Schneider](https://twitter.com/ntnsndr)’s [CommunityRule](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/t/introducing-the-exit-to-community-collective/1246) and [Modpol](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/t/modpol-is-a-self-governance-toolkit-for-communities-in-online-worlds/1195) projects, and [TalentDAO](https://twitter.com/talentDAO_)’s research on exploring [leadership patterns in DAOs](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/t/proposal-leadership-in-decentralized-organizations-principles-and-practices/1293). SCRF has also provided support to the [CMU Cryptography Seminar](https://twitter.com/cmucrypto), helped organize a [mini-conference on DeSci](https://opscientia.notion.site/DeSci-EthDenver-21-c74fc532cccc4979b9cf7977b4ee17ea) with Foresight Institute and OpSci at ETHDenver 2022, and co-organized the first DeSci Day in Amsterdam in April 2022 with DeSci Labs/Foundation, VitaDAO, Molecule, LabDAO, Foresight Institute, and Science Coins. 9 | ## Principles 10 | 1. Access to research should be open and accessible to academics and practitioners alike. 11 | 2. Research should be directly connected to real-world problems, which is why we facilitate the implementation and usability of research. 12 | 3. Frequently, knowledge creation isn’t properly incentivized. At SCRF, we provide academics and practitioners ample opportunities to receive compensation for amplifying their research and sharing their thoughts and opinions. 13 | 4. Anyone with the drive and desire should be able to contribute meaningfully to research. 14 | 5. Important conversations are created around research. That is why we built the Forum. We want to hear what you think, what relevant context an author did not cover, and what are the potential future implications. 15 | ## Learn More About SCRF 16 | 17 | The Smart Contract Research Forum (SCRF) is a grants-funded organization dedicated to advancing research while serving the web3 space. [Learn](https://github.com/smartcontractresearchforum/docs) more about SCRF, and discover ways to [get involved](https://github.com/smartcontractresearchforum/docs/blob/main/en/content_connecting_with_scrf.md). 18 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /en/process_research_improvement_proposal.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # SCRF: Process - Research Improvement Proposal 2 | 3 | ## Introduction 4 | 5 | SCRF's culture is based on the open-source software community. Anyone can suggest an improvement or a new process, but it has to fit in the existing framework. Project Proposals are the first step of our Research Improvement Proposal (RIP) process. This is how we decide whether a suggested improvement provides a benefit, whether that benefit is worth the resources spent, and whether or not it makes sense given other projects already in process. 6 | 7 | Before you start a new project plan, check the [Research Team](https://github.com/orgs/smartcontractresearchforum/projects/4) board to determine whether something similar doesn't already exist. If you find something close, contact the author or add a comment to the ticket to see if there's a way to merge your ideas into one project. 8 | 9 | When you're ready, create a new [ticket](https://github.com/orgs/smartcontractresearchforum/projects/4), and create a new Project Plan from the template below and paste a link to it into the ticket. 10 | 11 | Reach out to one of the SCRF team members on the chat and try to arrange some time to discuss the idea during our weekly calls. 12 | 13 | Here's a link to the [Project Plan Template](./project_research_improvement_proposal.md). 14 | 15 | ## Method 16 | 17 | Create a copy of the [Project Plan Template](./project_research_improvement_proposal.md), fill out the relevant fields and then move it to the [Project Proposals](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1nk2Emr6pyGLHx0Hzy-_CfKZJnye2S1bS) directory. Create an issue in GitHub describing the proposal and link to your google doc. 18 | 19 | 1. Fill out the form 20 | 1. Talk about with Ops 21 | 1. Update the plan based on feedback 22 | 1. Be prepared to create Proof of Concept (POC) if the project is creating a specific deliverable. If the proposal outlines a new type of work then a workflow document will be required. 23 | 1. Include plans to present the Proposal to the greater team 24 | 25 | ## Workflow for a New Proposal 26 | 27 | 1. Pitch to the Team 28 | 1. Create an 'elevator pitch' - a quick distillation of your idea. 29 | 1. Give a member of the Ops team your elevator pitch 30 | 1. They'll determine whether the project aligns with SCRF goals and scope 31 | 1. Check in the [Research Team](https://github.com/orgs/smartcontractresearchforum/projects/4) pipeline to determine whether or not a pre-existing project already encompasses your suggestion 32 | 1. If an existing project could encompass the suggestion, reach out to the creator in chat, to see if you could incorporate your ideas into theirs. 33 | 1. If an existing project does not encompass the suggestion, create a new issue with a link to your project plan (adapted from the [Project Plan Template](./project_research_improvement_proposal.md) and a brief description of the project in the issue. 34 | 1. Create a Proposal 35 | 1. Fill in a Project Plan Template 36 | 1. Consider resources needed, potential scope, etc. 37 | 1. Document should describe how many people, what resources, and how much time in detail. Consider the scope of the project when deciding how much detail to add. 38 | 1. Develop goals and analytics. 39 | 1. How does this project define success? 40 | 1. How is that success tracked? 41 | 1. Develop a timeline. 42 | 1. Broken down by weeks 43 | 1. Week 1: 44 | 1. Week 2: 45 | 1. Etc. 46 | 1. Outline how the project would be tracked in Github 47 | 1. (If External, then create a budget) 48 | 1. Flag Ops for a conversation about the project. 49 | 1. Create a proof of concept/workflow document 50 | 1. Discuss with Ops team 51 | 1. Incorporate feedback 52 | 1. Create Project Presentation for the group. 53 | 1. Create a 10-minute presentation 54 | 1. This should detail the project and outline the steps and resources needed to implement it. 55 | 1. Schedule a time during SCRF's weekly Wednesday meetings to present your project. 56 | 1. Present the project. 57 | 1. Tally suggestions and concerns raised by the group. 58 | 1. Schedule a follow-up meeting with SCRF Ops team 59 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /en/program_reading_group.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # SCRF Reading Group 2 | 3 | ## What is SCRF? 4 | 5 | The Smart Contract Research Forum (SCRF) serves as an open, agnostic bridge between academia and industry. Supported by an international community dedicated to advancing actionable blockchain research, our mission is to surface challenging problems in the space and present them to an active community of academics, researchers, and developers.

From March 16-April 27, there will be a weekly virtual seminar open to any students who want to delve into specific public goods topics. In addition to these weekly sessions, the PGSA will support the creation of various materials (such as reading lists or curricula) to help guide students in their learning journey. 6 | 7 | Beyond this Spring, the PGSA will partner with appropriate hackathon groups over the summer to provide a pathway for students to apply their knowledge by building the future of public goods. For the 2023-2024 Academic Year, the PGSA will partner with a variety of student groups around the world to build more educational materials and resources around the various topics that fall under the bucket of public goods. 8 | 9 | ### **Schedule Spring 2023** 10 | To register, please RSVP via [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScqomCAuwxiFtAmzqi2Ur1eAIwy5tfwQuJuBKAZ9d6C6W2nGw/viewform?usp=sf_link). 11 | 12 | All virtual seminars will be hosted from 1p-2p EST/UTC-4 as video calls, unless indicated otherwise, and will feature at least one relevant industry practitioner who can provide some context for that day's topic and lead a Q&A with students. 13 | 14 | - March 15 - Intro to Public Goods 15 | - March 22 - DeSci and Public Goods (featuring contributors from DeSci Labs, DeSci World, Gitcoin's DeSci Grant Rounds, LabDAO, and OpSci/Holonym) 16 | - March 29 - Public Goods Governance Experiments & Building a Pipeline for Students into Public Goods (featuring contributors from Public Nouns) 17 | - April 5 - Funding Public Goods 18 | - April 12 - Health and Public Goods (featuring contributors Athena DAO) 19 | - April 19 - Existential Risks and Public Goods 20 | - April 26 - Governing Public Goods & Planning for Summer/Fall 2023 21 | 22 | For more information, email eugene@scrf.io. 23 | 24 | ## Resources 25 | 26 | ### What are Public Goods? 27 | 28 | This is by no means a comprehensive explanation, but below are some pointers to get started.

Please use this as a reference guide when writing for SCRF. With every piece of content, aim to: 30 | 31 | - **Educate:** Give readers the exact information they need to know while breaking down concepts into the simplest terms possible. The writer is considered to be the expert educating the reader who may not have access to the same background information. 32 | - **Provide Value:** The writer should understand the topic and use simple words and sentences. Before writing, ask: What purpose does this serve? Who is going to read it? What do they need to know? 33 | - **Be Open and Respectful:** Treat readers with the respect they deserve. Remember they are busy, coming from everywhere, and with varied backgrounds. At SCRF, we want to inform while being considerate, impartial, and inclusive. 34 | 35 | ## Voice and Tone 36 | 37 | SCRF materials should cater to readers who are unfamiliar with the SCRF system. Writers should assume that their readers have tight schedules and short attention spans. As such, writers should focus on communicating concepts as clearly and succinctly as possible. At SCRF, we want to speak like experienced yet respectful academics at the cutting edge of research. 38 | 39 | Style tips: 40 | 41 | - Use simple language. 42 | - Use short, concise sentences. 43 | - Avoid unnecessary words. 44 | - Remain open and objective. 45 | - Provide examples when possible. 46 | - Provide examples to help explain concepts, but avoid complicating them. 47 | - Use math when necessary, but keep it simple. 48 | - Link to basic terms if necessary. 49 | 50 | ## Grammar and Mechanics 51 | 52 | Adhere to specific rules of grammar and mechanics to help keep the writing clear and consistent. This section will lay out overall writing mechanics, which apply to all content unless otherwise noted in this guide. 53 | 54 | ### Use 55 | 56 | - [Oxford commas.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma) 57 | - [Pluralized, gender-neutral pronouns.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they) 58 | - Use "they/their" instead of "he/she, his/hers." 59 | - Examples: "When they..." or "If users choose to X, then their..." 60 | - Or generalize the class of individuals. I.e. “When the Community”, “If users” 61 | - The % symbol. Do not spell out "percent." 62 | - Correct: 15% 63 | - Incorrect: 15 percent 64 | - Double quotes " " for phrases, quotes, etc. 65 | - Do not use single ' ' quotes. 66 | - Active, present voice whenever possible. 67 | - Correct: The contributor creates a forum post. 68 | - Incorrect: The forum post was created by the contributor. 69 | 70 | ### Avoid 71 | 72 | - [First-person language.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_person) 73 | - Examples: I, we, our, etc. 74 | - [Second-person language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_person) (unless it is appropriate for a guide or action page). 75 | - Examples: "You then..." or "Now you should..." 76 | - Exclamation points. 77 | - Footnotes. 78 | - Parentheses for stating additional information. 79 | - Incorrect: Research Grants are larger-sized ($5,000 to $50,000) grants aimed at individuals or teams building projects. 80 | - Correct: Research Grants are generally larger-sized grants, ranging from $5,000 to $50,000, aimed at individuals or teams building projects. 81 | 82 | ### Abbreviations 83 | 84 | - Use parentheses to define abbreviated terms the first time they appear in a given document. 85 | - Example: A Research Improvement Proposal (RIP) is a proposal framework to support new initiatives and to expand the scope of existing ones. 86 | - Do not provide an abbreviation for a term that is only used once. 87 | 88 | ### Acronyms 89 | 90 | - Do not use apostrophes to pluralize acronyms. Instead, add an “s” at the end. To make an acronym plural: 91 | - Correct: RIPs 92 | - Incorrect: RIP's 93 | 94 | ### Capitalization 95 | 96 | - Capitalize names, proper nouns, titles, cities, countries, nationalities, and languages. 97 | - Capitalize terms with definitions. 98 | - Use the [Title Case Converter](https://titlecaseconverter.com/) to keep titles consistent. 99 | - Follow _The New York Times_ standard. 100 | - Capitalize the first and last words, all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives. 101 | - Lowercase all articles, conjunctions, and prepositions. 102 | 103 | ### Currencies 104 | 105 | The examples below use dollars, but the same rules apply to all global currencies. 106 | 107 | - Use lowercase except when writing "US Dollar." 108 | - Use figures and the "$" sign in all except casual references or amounts without a figure. 109 | - Standard: "The book costs $4." 110 | - Casual: "Please give me a dollar." 111 | - For amounts under $1 million, follow this format: 112 | - Correct: $4, $25, $500, $1,000, $650,000. 113 | - For amounts over $1 million, use the word, not numerals. 114 | - Correct: "He is worth $4 million." 115 | - Incorrect: "He is worth $4,000,000." 116 | 117 | ### Cryptocurrencies 118 | 119 | - When directly referring to the creation, destruction, or manipulation of a token (particularly as it relates to tooling): 120 | - Use the capitalized TLA version: DAI 121 | - Example: "Draw DAI against ETH from a Vault." 122 | - Similarly, when referring to exchange pairs: 123 | - Use: ETH/DAI 124 | - When referencing the token as a currency, in an instructional or conversational setting, or as a conceptual product of the Foundation or its systems: 125 | - Use: Dai 126 | - Example: "Dai is a price-stable asset that can be used as money." 127 | 128 | ### Dates and Times 129 | 130 | - Generally, abbreviate the day of the week and month but write out the date.

Don’t use minutes for on-the-hour time. 135 | - Always specify time zones. SCRF is international but our default time zone is ET. Abbreviate time zones within the continental United States as follows: 136 | - Eastern time: ET 137 | - Central time: CT 138 | - Mountain time: MT 139 | - Pacific time: PT 140 | - When referring to international time zones, spell them out: Nepal Standard Time, Australian Eastern Time. If a time zone does not have a set name, use its [Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) offset](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_time_offsets). 141 | - Correct: 7:00 AM ET 142 | - Incorrect: 7am 143 | - Use a hyphen between times to indicate a time period. 144 | - Example: 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM ET 145 | 146 | ### Decades 147 | 148 | - Do not use apostrophes to indicate decades. Instead, add an "s" at the end. To indicate a decade: 149 | - Correct: 1990s 150 | - Incorrect: 1990's 151 | 152 | ### Lists 153 | 154 | When bulleted and numbered lists contain complete sentences, capitalize the first word, and follow each with a period. If list items are phrases, no capitalization or punctuation is required. 155 | 156 | - Use [parallel construction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelism_%28grammar%29) for each item in a list. 157 | - Start with the same [part of speech](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Part_of_speech) for each item (in this case, a verb). 158 | - Use the same verb [tense](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_tense#English) for each item. 159 | - Use the same [voice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_%28grammar%29) for each item. 160 | - Use the same sentence type (statement, question, exclamation) for each item. 161 | - List items that include definitions should look like this: 162 | - Team: Core team and Advisers are critical to SCRF's success. 163 | - Community: Sentiment analysis is invaluable. 164 | - Use dashes rather than asterisks for unordered lists. 165 | - Correct: - 166 | - Incorrect: * 167 | - Alphabetize lists of names unless there is a clear priority at work. 168 | - Do not use ordered (numbered) lists unless order matters. 169 | - Ordered list items should use the #1 repeated. 170 | - Markdown will automatically generate numbers. 171 | 172 | Example: 173 | 174 | ```markdown 175 | 1. Item 1 176 | 1. Item 2 177 | 1. Item 3 178 | 1. Item 3a 179 | 1. Item 3b 180 | ``` 181 | 182 | ### Links 183 | 184 | - Use [relative links](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/contribute/how-to-write-links) when cross-referencing files from [repositories](https://github.com/smartcontractresearchforum/research_team) on SCRF's GitHub. 185 | - Use absolute links and standard web URLs when referencing external resources. 186 | - Create descriptive hyperlinks and avoid generic language. 187 | - Descriptive: Learn more at [Smart Contract Research Forum.](https://smartcontractresearch.org/) 188 | - Generic: Learn more [here.](https://smartcontractresearch.org/) 189 | - Include a . inside the link for sentences that end with a link. 190 | 191 | ### Numbers 192 | 193 | - Spell out numbers below 10. 194 | - Examples: one, two, three, etc. 195 | - Use numerals for numbers above 10, unless starting a sentence. 196 | - For numbers with million, billion, or trillion, use figures in all except casual cases. 197 | - Standard: "The nation has 1 million citizens." 198 | - Casual: "I'd like to make a billion dollars." 199 | - Spell out fractions. 200 | - Correct: two-thirds 201 | - Incorrect: 2/3 202 | - Use decimal points when a number can’t be easily written out as a fraction, like 1.375 or 47.2. 203 | 204 | ### Punctuation 205 | 206 | - Do not use exclamation points. 207 | - When writing a list, use the Oxford comma. 208 | - Use a colon, rather than an ellipsis, em dash, or comma, to offset a list. 209 | - Example: The writer posted on the forum. 210 | - Don't use ampersands (&) unless one is part of a company or brand name. 211 | - Use semicolons (;) sparingly. Try breaking up the sentence instead. 212 | - Use double quotes " " for phrases, quotes, etc. Periods and commas go within quotation marks. Question marks within quotes follow logic—if the question mark is part of the quotation, it goes within. If you’re asking a question that ends with a quote, it goes outside the quote. 213 | - Do not use single ' ' quotes. 214 | - Avoid dashes (—) and ellipses (...) unless needed. 215 | - Use a hyphen (-) without spaces on either side to link words into a single phrase. 216 | 217 | ### Ranges and Spans 218 | 219 | - Spell out ranges or spans unless they relate to a certain time range. 220 | - Correct: It takes 10 to 30 minutes. 221 | - Correct: The class is from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM ET. 222 | - Incorrect: It takes 10 - 20 minutes. 223 | 224 | ## Submission Tips 225 | 226 | Run all drafts through Grammarly regularly, and before final submissions. 227 | 228 | - Grammarly will catch most spelling and grammatical errors. 229 | - Copy rendered text into Grammarly and address any mistakes it flags. 230 | - HackMD does not identify spelling and grammatical errors. 231 | - Grammarly will miss errors if it's given raw Markdown text. 232 | - Be careful of copy and pasting code from Grammarly to VScode; Grammarly may mess with formatting. 233 | 234 | ### When migrating to a new document 235 | 236 | - Leave a note in the old file. 237 | - Provide a link to the latest version. 238 | - Do not blindly accept Grammarly suggestions. 239 | - Review edits to make sure they make sense. 240 | 241 | ### Naming Conventions 242 | 243 | - All titles of the docs should match the file names, which should match the named links in other docs. 244 | - Please do not use shorthand or new terms for existing documents. 245 | - All document names should use “[snake case.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_case)” 246 | 247 | ## Writing for Social Media 248 | 249 | SCRF uses social media to engage with community members and the general public, and to share what SCRF or its members are up to. SCRF is careful to be deliberate in what the organization posts to social channels. 250 | 251 | ### Overview 252 | 253 | SCRF has a presence on a number of major social media platforms. Below are the most active accounts and what is posted on each: 254 | 255 | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SCRForum): SCRF news and updates, research summaries, research pulse, events, media mentions, evergreen content, timely blockchain news, join us posts 256 | 257 | [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/smart-contract-research-forum/): SCRF news and updates, recruiting content, media mentions, evergreen content 258 | 259 | ### Guidelines 260 | 261 | Writing for social media should generally follow the style points outlined in this Writing Style Guide. Some additional pointers include: 262 | 263 | - Write short, but smart 264 | - Twitter: 280 characters 265 | - LinkedIn: No limit, but aim for 1-2 short paragraphs 266 | - Use correct grammar and punctuation and avoid exclamation points. 267 | - Simplify ideas or reduce the amount of information being shared. Do not alter the spelling or punctuation of the words themselves. It is fine to use the shorter version of some words, like “info” for “information.” But do not use numbers and letters in place of words, like “4” instead of “for” or “u” instead of “you.” 268 | 269 | ### Best Practices 270 | 271 | - Think of Tweets as micro pitches: 272 | - What is the hook? 273 | - What is the value? 274 | - How to find out more? 275 | - Threads are better than tweets 276 | - Use relevant targeted tags 277 | - Limit mentions 278 | - Message people for retweets offline, never in a post 279 | - For each post, add “For further info consider following @expert1 and @expert2” to the end 280 | - Correct: “In recognition of the great work by @ntnsndr, Professor of Media Studies at @cumediastudies and @MEDLabBoulder, SCRF will be supporting two of his governance research projects: CommunityRule and Exit to Community.” 281 | - Correct: “Notice to researchers: SCRF is looking for contributors to write summaries of academic papers focused on blockchain topics. Review our [grants program](https://git.io/JcZgk) to learn more. 282 | - Incorrect: “We are excited to share the work of @ntnsndr, Professor of Media Studies at @cumediastudies and @MEDLabBoulder!” 283 | - Incorrect: “Hey @ntnsndr, can you please retweet this post about you?” 284 | 285 | ### Hashtags 286 | 287 | SCRF employs hashtags deliberately to promote events or connect with specific community members. Do not use current events or trending hashtags to promote SCRF. 288 | 289 | ### Trending topics 290 | 291 | Do not use social media to comment on trending topics or current events that are unrelated to SCRF or to the blockchain. Be aware of any major breaking news when publishing social content. 292 | 293 | ## Learn More About SCRF 294 | 295 | SCRF is an interactive forum supported by an active international community.

The pilot for accomplishing this goal is to translate the content format of the Research Pulse, which is currently shared as a set of weekly socials posts that link information back to individual weekly features housed on the [Research Pulse category](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/c/post-ideas/research-pulse/26) of the forum, into a weekly e-newsletter. There has been a lot of positive feedback on the Research Pulse itself from industry players, and an emailed newsletter has the potential to better contextualize the Research Pulse items and foster further discussion than the current socials do alone. 16 | 17 | ### Project Benefits 18 | 19 | * **Content:** The newsletter provides an opportunity for the Discovery Team to Collaborate with the Content Team to ensure we showcase the latest and greatest Web3 research and information, which allows us to continue to provide value and incentives to Researchers and Industry actors to contribute to SCRF. The Content Team is already creating the bulk of the content that will populate this newsletter, so the barrier to entry is relatively low compared to typical new projects. The e-newsletter presentation can include a better visual hierarchy than is possible within Twitter and LinkedIn, which have platform-based restrictions on character count, data viz, etc. 20 | * **Engagement**: The newsletter can help foster greater engagement on the forum, as it will provide direct traffic to the forum, encourage calls to action to discuss forum content, and help cultivate a dedicated Web3 community. 21 | * **Discovery:** As an initiative driven by the Discovery Team, the Research Pulse newsletter will serve as one of the many communication tools within our strategic discovery plan for expanding our audience, creating awareness, and learning how our audience prefers to interact with forum content. 22 | * **Outreach:** The Research Pulse Newsletter will provide knowledge and resource-sharing across the ecosystem. The project is directly tied to learning networks since it is a tool for providing information to all of the players involved in our space. 23 | * **Operations**: The newsletter has the potential to serve as a networking tool to facilitate future partnerships by helping to build out the top of the discovery funnel 24 | 25 | ### Goals and Objectives 26 | 27 | The goal of this project is to further amplify consequential, well-sourced research within the Web3 space for industry constituents via weekly, direct email communications. The call to action for readers is to click through to the Research Pulse sections of the forum for the weekly research discussions. Success is defined and measured based on quantitative data, including click-through rates and page referrals, as well qualitative data, such as reader feedback and interaction on the forum. 28 | 29 | The weekly Research Pulse has proved to be an engaging feature within our socials platforms, especially LinkedIn. It has an even greater capacity for engagement via a direct email communication, which is more personal, enjoys different weight, and has more design flexibility than our socials channels. 30 | 31 | ### Target Audiences 32 | 33 | * Individuals within the Web3 ecosystem who have a grasp of the Web3 space and are looking for the latest credible Web3 research. 34 | * Web3 researchers 35 | * Web3 builders 36 | 37 | ### Pilot Project, Deliverables, and Timing 38 | 39 | 1. **Discovery and Strategy** 40 | * Brainstorm and finalize content and structure ideas 41 | * Create and finalize the project proposal plan 42 | * Approve the project with SCRF ops 43 | * Finalize a tool for facilitating the newsletter 44 | * Ensure resources are in place to create the pilot 45 | 2. **Content Creation, Design, Iteration, Testing, and Publicity** 46 | * Publicize the newsletter and encourage people to subscribe via chat, socials, and the forum 47 | * Create a form capture within the tool we choose to capture people's contact information 48 | * Create Research Pulse newsletter templates 49 | * Ensure that our email list is set up 50 | * Send out the newsletter as a test document to internal constituents, revise and iterate as necessary 51 | * Ensure that scaling and look on the user end are dynamic based on device sizes, different web browsers 52 | * Ensure that links and CTAs are working properly 53 | 3. **Launch the pilot issue** 54 | * Email the pilot issue to the live audience of subscribers 55 | * Troubleshoot any bounce-backs or other issues with the email 56 | 57 | 4. **Measure** 58 | * Assess the quantitative and qualitative metrics from the first two months of newsletter issues 59 | * Discuss areas for growth based on the pilot launch 60 | * Incorporate learned strategies into future newsletter issues 61 | 62 | ### Roles and Resources 63 | 64 | * Roles 65 | * Project Lead - Socials Lead 66 | * Project Sponsor - Head of Discovery 67 | * Content Writer/Editor(s) 68 | * Research Pulse Curator 69 | * Ecosystem News Finder 70 | * Tools 71 | * Requirements: 72 | * Content Hosting (Does not own our data/ Web3) 73 | * Contact and Email Management 74 | * Contact and Email Capture 75 | * Newsletter Templating 76 | * Email Distribution and Management 77 | * Newsletter Analytics 78 | * Possible Tools: 79 | * Hubspot 80 | * Substack 81 | * Mirror.xyz 82 | * Ghost 83 | * Mailchimp 84 | * HubSpot 85 | * Paragraph 86 | * Revue 87 | * ConvertKit 88 | * Headline 89 | * Iterable 90 | 91 | ### Additional Outstanding Questions 92 | 93 | For outstanding questions regarding the project and more detailed discovery information, see the [Research Pulse Newsletter Exploratory Document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q0PRG9kxJuZTnxnjigJJuItf7siZrfLR4S7wp8JcuoU/edit?pli=1). 94 | 95 | ## Learn More About SCRF 96 | 97 | The Smart Contract Research Forum (SCRF) is a grants-funded organization dedicated to advancing research while serving the web3 space. [Learn](https://github.com/smartcontractresearchforum/docs) more about SCRF, and discover ways to [get involved](https://github.com/smartcontractresearchforum/docs/blob/main/en/content_connecting_with_scrf.md). 98 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /en/scrf_io_portal_project_plan.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | # SCRF.io Portal Project Plan 3 | 4 | The [Smart Contract Research Forum](https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/) (SCRF) is creating a website to help different stakeholders navigate SCRF. This document serves as the project plan to help support the strategic and logistical elements surrounding the creation of SCRF's website. 5 | 6 | ## Project Tracking 7 | 8 | [GitHub SCRF.io](https://github.com/orgs/smartcontractresearchforum/projects/17/views/13) 9 | 10 | ## Relevant Documents 11 | 12 | [Narrative & Navigation](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RVCvcZPRhRSjJRfSptziAs4D9_bpDKYx7W-4-2MHKdQ/edit?usp=sharing) 13 | GitHub Repo [smartcontractresearchforum / scrf.io](https://github.com/smartcontractresearchforum/scrf.io) 14 | [SCRF.io Technical Specs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VyXvDChESbrDQMKZK3ouzJqEz5v0MyOnZIRqFdYrSZw/edit#heading=h.2oztxqcw41zm) 15 | [Figma Home Page Wireframes](https://www.figma.com/file/iBYT9jpztaldLVQdf1xxxW/SCRF.io-Home-Page-Wireframe?node-id=0%3A1) 16 | 17 | ## Project Vision 18 | 19 | The SCRF website can be a home for people to find out about SCRF, learn about the projects taking place across the organization, and cohesively bring all of the properties together in one place. The vision is to have a place where people can find what they are looking for, understand how to contribute, and what value SCRF can bring. 20 | 21 | ## Project Benefits 22 | 23 | SCRF has several disparate properties (Forum, GitHub) and channels (Discord, Twitter, Youtube, LinkedIn, Facebook), but no central, cohesive space for people to find out about SCRF. With a central, public site, we can help people find relevant resources and devise a system to augment and iteratively add properties or channels over time. 24 | * **Content:** With a website portal, individuals can easily discover the best SCRF content without disrupting the forum. It also allows SCRF to showcase the most relevant content, which can assist with further content creation efforts. 25 | * **Engagement:** A focused website is vital for community building and onboarding efforts. The portal can be a great de-facto place for anyone wanting to connect with SCRF - contact forms, streamlined forum registration, calendar of events, etc. 26 | * **Discovery:** The portal will be a great place to introduce a new layer of taxonomy onto the deep content of SCRF that is more appropriate for public digestion and marketing. A newcomer to SCRF can easily get frustrated attempting to find relevant information, whether on the forum or elsewhere. Searching on the portal is curated and tailored which leads to quality content. SCRF.io can be broad to include GitHub, selected areas of the forum, and other resources. 27 | * **Outreach:** A dedicated space that helps showcase and explain SCRF can help with outreach efforts. Events and other community-facing activities can use the SCRF.io domain to drive traffic organically. 28 | 29 | ## Goals and Objectives 30 | 31 | The website project intends to create a space where people can easily discover what is happening at SCRF and find the information they are seeking. 32 | 33 | * Learn about SCRF and showcase our value to the ecosystem 34 | * Content repository of SCRF's best hits - summaries, discussions, wins, grant winners, comment of the month, etc. 35 | * Mine the forum for important ref materials and compile curated content for the site 36 | * Allow for different audiences to find relevant information 37 | * Ensure different personas know where to go and how to connect with SCRF 38 | * Develop clear CTAs 39 | * Unified Search 40 | * Make information more readily discoverable in a centralized location with unified search functionality. Search on the portal should not lead to deep results directly to forum content but rather surface the curated content. The forum is still directly searchable and it is possible to show on SCRF.io. 41 | * Unified search will combine all data stores such as GitHub, calendar, information hosted on the forum, into a single search. This will allow anyone to just ask SCRF.io what they are looking for and get a fairly intelligent result. Implementation will use the REST APIs provided by each vendor. 42 | * Brand Consistency 43 | * Brand consistency can be further reinforced by the user of the SCRF.io domain as a URL shortener.scrf.io/forum scrf.io/discord scrf.io 44 | * Showcase Legitimacy and Collaborate w SCRF 45 | 46 | ## Measures of Success and Analytics 47 | 48 | Important: 49 | 50 | * Overall traffic aka number of visitors and the source 51 | * Average time on the site plus the bounce rate 52 | * Basic site reqs - fully responsive site, etc. 53 | 54 | TBD: 55 | 56 | * Conversions - what do these look like?

256 | 257 | * Select the appropriate action using the logic defined in this workflow document. 258 | * If there is uncertainty on what action to take, use the #moderation channel in chat to explain the uncertainty so that other moderators can help. 259 | * Use the #moderation channel to make the following types of requests as well: 260 | * **Review:** the moderator prefers a fellow moderator or researcher to review the comment for accuracy. 261 | * **Assist:** the moderator needs a fellow moderator or researcher to do the commenting instead because it is beyond their technical understanding or there are members in the SCRF team that have the greater community weight needed in this situation; tagging someone that could help is recommended. 262 | 263 | ### Step 4 - Follow Up 264 | 265 | * If the author of a post or comment responds positively to moderation, treat that content as a regular incoming moderation notification. In addition, the moderator may want to acknowledge the improvement in tone or quality of the post or comment, if deemed appropriate. 266 | * If poor quality persists, or the author becomes aggressive when being moderated: 267 | * Discuss in #moderation channel 268 | * Ignore "likes" 269 | * Ignore responding with comment until a specific strategy is created as a result of discussion in #moderation channel 270 | * Actions available if disruptive behavior persists: 271 | * Propose creating a separate thread to isolate the bad actor 272 | * Engage in DM discussion 273 | * Potentially ban/silence. This is a last resort and should be carefully considered in consultation with the moderation team. 274 | 275 | ### Step 5 - Curation 276 | 277 | * Refer to the [Discussion Summary Template](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OBFHVezq8WBAIzx-cbq8tZdS-_W5UKPv5wf2QnTSKk0/edit#heading=h.husueveqa7bj) 278 | 279 | ## Learn More About SCRF 280 | 281 | The Smart Contract Research Forum (SCRF) is a grants-funded organization dedicated to advancing research while serving the web3 space.
