Launching Aleo Deploy Incentives
(by Aleo)
The wait is finally over! Today, we are officially launching Deploy Incentives for Testnet 3 Phase III. On May 2nd, we announced our plans to incentivize developers with 5M Aleo Credits to deploy programs on our testnet. Since then, we’ve had the opportunity to interact with some amazing teams building on Aleo and gather feedback on their experience. This invaluable feedback allowed our core engineering team to significantly improve the Aleo network following the most recent network reset. With these updates, now is the perfect time to test the network’s core functionality.
As previously announced, we will award credits to the TOP 10 programs deployed on Aleo as determined by a committee of Aleo ambassadors and core team members. Even if you don’t place in the TOP 10, don’t worry! If you build something of high quality, we’ll provide future opportunities and support, such as grants, bug bounties, and much more, so you can continue working on your project.
Participating in Deploy Incentives is a great way to get recognized by the Aleo core team and become an early adopter of the Aleo network before mainnet launch. We plan to expand the scope of our developer grants program and will use the Deploy Incentives to identify potential grantees. With that, let’s take a deeper dive!
Program Scope
Deploy Incentives are open to applications of ALL types. Below we’ve provided five use case categories that we think would be ideal to build on Aleo. The examples provided are merely suggestions. You can submit any application you’d like, even if it is not listed.
Gaming
1. Turn-based games (e.g., Battleship)
2. Table games (e.g., Poker)
3. Role Playing Games (e.g., Dark Forest)
Identity & Authentication
1. Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) & verifiable credentials (VCs)
2. Namespace resolvers (e.g., ENS)
3. KYC/AML
Zero-Knowledge Decentralized Finance (ZeFi)
1. Dark pools and mixers
2. Decentralized exchanges (e.g., Uniswap, dYdX)
3. Lending protocols (e.g., Aave)
4. Stablecoins (e.g., USDC, DAI)
Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning (zkML)
1. Single/multi-layer neural networks
2. Computational integrity
3. ZK anomaly/fraud detection
Voting & Governance
1. Private on-chain voting (e.g., MACI)
2. Private DAO infrastructure
Credit Distribution
The 5M Aleo Credits will be distributed across the TOP 10 programs deployed to our on-chain program registry. For the exact breakdown of this distribution, check out the image below.
