<p>We’re thrilled to announce that Bepro Network has closed a grant with <a href="https://aurora.dev/" target="_blank">Aurora</a> for the development of the first bounty network on the platform!</p><p>It will be the first time a Bepro Network product will be available in one of the major web3 protocols, and we couldn’t be more excited.</p><p>The main goal of this project is to deliver a decentralized Aurora Development DAO by deploying a customized Bepro Network (UI+Protocol) on Aurora (Near EVM).</p><p>This will allow the Aurora Foundation to attract developers from the community to work and contribute to Aurora Github repositories in a decentralized and sustainable way.</p><p><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/T6eZL98iTtXGB1MdIdHvfxo1Y25CrXzq7bgqKPek95M/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy84ODRlYmYyMC0xMzEwLTExZWQtYWQxYi03ZGRlMWU1MjU1ZTdBVVJPUkEgYXJ0aWNsZS5wbmc" style="width:836px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" /></p><h3>How will Aurora benefit from running its own bounty network?</h3><p>We reached out to <strong>Anton Paisov, Head of Integrations at Aurora Labs</strong> who told us: </p><p>“With our own bounty network, we want to focus and enable the bounties culture in the Aurora ecosystem. </p><p>We can leverage the power of community and decentralization to increase our adoption and accelerate our product development and roadmap.</p><p>Furthermore, we want this product to be available for every of Aurora’s ecosystems to launch their own bounties and, in this way, make our product development more collaborative and inclusive.</p><p>In the long run, we also see Near itself employing this network for its own bounties as well.”</p><p><br /></p><h3>How important is this grant for Bepro Network?</h3><p>“Having one of the top blockchain companies and EVM working directly with us is, on one side, a privilege and important validation for Bepro Network adoption. </p><p>On the other hand, it’s also one important step toward the true decentralization of our product.”, says <strong>Mario Alves, CEO and co-founder of TAIKAI Labs and Bepro Network.</strong> </p><p>“We know the future of web3 is collaborative and multi-chain and having Aurora with us on this journey is one huge step in achieving that vision”, he adds.</p><blockquote><p><a href="http://bepro.network" target="_blank"><em>Bepro Network</em></a><em> is a protocol to create and manage development bounties, that allows companies, organizations and DAOs to create their own custom bounty network. Aurora is the first EVM to launch its own network.</em></p></blockquote><h3>How will the bounty network work?</h3><p>The community can create bounties on the Aurora Development DAO by locking a certain amount of $AURORA (or any other ERC-20 on the protocol). </p><p>Any developer in the world can develop the feature requested by the bounty promoter and receive the $AURORA locked for this specific task.</p><p><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/W5hKOnmeyYFoolJsfBiqzkXMouBrFIIOkfmoNoTJWSo/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy9hMzczOTk2MC0xMzEwLTExZWQtOGU1ZS1mZGUyYTVkYjI5MDlBVVJPUkEgYXJ0aWNsZSAyLnBuZw" style="width:768px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" /></p><p>Additionally, the community can also create a bounty and request funding. Everyone in the network can fund the bounty to deliver a feature, service, or build a common piece of software that serves the entire community.</p><p>The bounty contributors also receive an NFT to recognize the work done on a specific task.</p><p><br /></p><h4>What is Aurora Network?</h4><p><a href="https://aurora.dev/" target="_blank">Aurora</a> is an Ethereum Virtual Machine developed by the NEAR Protocol team that provides a turn-key solution for developers to run their apps on an Ethereum-compatible, high-throughput, scalable, and future-proof platform with minimal transaction fees for their users.</p><h4><br /></h4><h4>Aurora Grants</h4><p>The Aurora Network provides a wide range of <a href="https://aurora.dev/grants" target="_blank">grant opportunities</a> to grow and expand web3 projects. Bepro Network will join the granted projects in the ecosystem and collaborate closely with Aurora.</p><h4><br /></h4><h4>Aurora DAO</h4><p>The <a href="https://aurora.dev/dao" target="_blank">AuroraDAO</a> is a decentralized autonomous organization that governs the Aurora protocol.</p><p>The AuroraDAO operates similarly to a traditional Board of Directors in that there is a "Council" of seats whose holders vote on high-level protocol issues and authorize and order subordinate entities to pursue those goals.</p><h4><br /></h4><h4>About NEAR Protocol</h4><p><a href="https://near.org/" target="_blank">NEAR</a> is a proof-of-stake (PoS), layer-one blockchain that is simple to use, secure and scalable.</p><p>NEAR was designed to host decentralized applications (dApps) and strives to compete with Ethereum and other smart contract-enabled blockchains.</p><p>With Aurora Bridge and EVM, Ethereum developers can deploy their apps in a fast, scalable &amp; low-cost environment.</p><p><br /></p><h3>About TAIKAI Labs</h3><p><a href="http://taikai.network/" target="_blank">TAIKAI Labs</a> is the main contributor to the <a href="http://bepro.network/" target="_blank">Bepro Network</a>. Our vision is to create a decentralized developer hub through bounties, hackathons, educational materials and tools for the development of web3 projects. </p><p>At the moment, TAIKAI Labs has three main products: </p><ul><li><a href="http://taikai.network/" target="_blank">TAIKAI Platform</a>, the hackathon tool; </li><li><a href="http://bepro.network/" target="_blank">Bepro Network</a>, the development bounties protocol; </li><li><a href="http://dappkit.dev/" target="_blank">DappKit</a>, an open-source SDK to quickly develop web3 projects and features.</li></ul><p><br /></p>
