About the project
- What is the general positioning of the project? i.e. DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, governance.
- Orange Protocol is protocol that captures decentralized identity reputation in web3
- What is the value proposition of the project? How does it clearly differentiate itself from others in the web3 space?
- Orange Protocol aggregates both on-chain and off-chain data of identities to generate proof in form of Verifiable Credentials and NFTs. These can then be used to calculate and assess reputation/proof for a decentralized identity
- How does it benefit it community members and general web3 communities at large?
- Helps gate identity’s entry into a system
- Helps record identity’s participation, engagement and contribution in a system
- Helps track identity’s reputation, decision results, endorsements
- Helps track identity’s credit-worthiness, history of transactions
- Is it bridging blockchains, protocols, tools, communities, etc.?
- Does it bring a unique vision or approach to solve challenges in web3?
- How does it improve the web3 ecosystem?
- Generally, how does the product work?
- Provide basic information about the product

- Uses across Defi, DAOs, DeSoc
- Defi - Helps Defi projects by grouping users based on reputation calculated using onchain & offchain data
- DAOs - Reputation based voting for a more justified method of voting (rather than token-weight based voting)
- DeSoc - Suggest personalized content to users based on token holding, NFT holding, transaction frequency, Defi & DAO participation.
- Roadmap/future applications
- Technical updates
- Community updates or changes
- A Decentralized Collaboration Network - Currently Orange Protocol is using a centralized task dispatching mechanism to get things running in the early stages.
- Secure Computing Paradigm - Blockchain is an open system that anyone can query data from and some private user data needs to be protected. Using TEE Layer2 privacy reserving computation solution on Ontology, Orange will support a private smart contract execution enviornment.
