Matryx is an open source platform that is completely decentralized, which means the possibilities for collaboration — and ultimately innovation–– are far reaching. The following bounties are just a few examples for how users might leverage Matryx. These examples include both complex and fairly simple use cases — everything from designing rocket turbines to getting help on math homework. Each example includes the basics of an ideal bounty, the different tiers of revision, and how the verified solution might live on after completion:

7 Matryx Use Cases

# 1 A Design for a New Museum

Bounty Post: terrain and topological data, construction budget, inspirations, project timeline, list of rounds + deadlines, expected MTX compensation per round.

Rounds:

1. Concept artists submit mockups

2. Two mockups selected, fused, and revised

3. Architects evaluate mockup to create preliminary blueprints — structural blueprints revised

4. Contractors and construction firms evaluate for safety and inspection — structural blueprints are revised

5. Designers submit plans for materials and interiors — revision

6. Construction management firm evaluates feasibility — revision

7. All participants rewarded with MTX!

On the Matryx Marketplace Examples: Early concept art could be purchased as inspiration for another museum. (or) Unique architectural strategies could be purchased and employed in a bounty for a home designed on similar terrain

#2 A Cryptographic Algorithm for a Blockchain Protocol

Bounty Post: Intended function of blockchain protocol, historical examples/inspiration for new protocol, ideal code + language base.

Rounds:

1. Initial submissions of “whitepapers” or higher level documents

2. Early “git” like code base

3. Revisions to code

4. Security audit

5. Stress testing

6. All participants rewarded with MTX!

On the Matryx Marketplace Examples: Certain branches of code from the new protocol could be purchased as the basis for another protocol. (or) Another blockchain organization could purchase the entire protocol for implementation.

#3 A Parameterized Design for a Specific Component of a SpaceX Rocket

Bounty Post: Function of the component, design of surrounding mechanical components, challenges encountered thus far.

Rounds:

1. Initial CAD mockups

2. Revision

3. Parameterization- conversion to high res/vectors in CalcFlow

4. Simulated stress test

5. Revisions

6. All participants rewarded with MTX!

On the Matryx Marketplace Example: NASA could purchase the component for a future design.

#4 A Custom Molecule (Drug) for a Specific Binding Site

nano-pro

Bounty Post: Qualities and details of specific binding site, intended function of new molecule, structural biology of similar molecules + proteins.

Rounds:

1. Molecules Designed in nano-pro

2. Revision

3. Bindability Simulation

4. Revision

5. Synthesis by robotic assembly factory at pharma company

6. All participants rewarded with MTX!

On the Matryx Marketplace Example: Molecule sold to pharma company for FDA testing and mass distribution.

#5 Customization and Execution of a Machine Learning Algorithm

Bounty Post: Dataset + Parameters, ML Algorithm.

Rounds:

1. Execution

2. Verification

3. All participants rewarded with MTX!

On the Matryx Marketplace Example: Findings could be sold to interested corporation.

#6 Color Grading a Feature Film

(This would be a private bounty//Long term speculative use case.)

Bounty Post: Length and other information about film, color palette and inspirations, intended workflow + codecs, deadlines, security disclosures.

Rounds:

1. Color graders submit reels of previous work

2. Several graders chosen

3. Graders sent sample scene — scene graded

4. Final grader chosen

5. Entire film color graded

6. Revisions

7. Rendering outsourced to distributed network, or farm

8. All participants rewarded with MTX!

On the Matryx Marketplace Examples: Color swatches, grades, and presets could be sold to other filmmakers and studios.

#7 A Solution to a Really Hard Calculus Homework Problem

From National Geographic

Bounty Post: Photo of problem in textbook, criteria for homework, i.e. “MUST SHOW WORK,” deadline.

Rounds:

1. Solutions

2. Expansion to show work

3. Double check

4. All participants rewarded with MTX!

On the Marketplace: Future students purchase the problem for help on their homework.

Future Possibilities
