The Documenters

Partner: Terawe
Team: Kenny Bui (Lead), Jai Uparkar (Scribe), Krish Agarwal, Ethan Epp, Heather Nguyen, Matthew Nguyen



Mentor(s): Bradley Tipp
Project Overview: We will create an interactive, spatio-temporal immersive visualization of news events using a metaverse platform. Unlike traditional VR headset-based experiences, this project leverages web-based metaverse technologies, NLP (Natural Language Processing), and GPT-4 to allow users to explore and understand news events that have occurred in both Spanish and English languages. However, users will be able to access the metaverse platform through a standard web browser or mobile device, eliminating the need for VR headsets. This ensures wide accessibility.

Forta Infinity

Partner: Forta
Team: Abel Atnafu (Lead), Junhwan Lee (Scribe), Taeho Kim, Kenji Kano, Vikram Elango



Mentor(s): Christian Seifert
Project Overview: Our main goal is to design a website that's easy for people to use on Forta.org. We're aiming to create a working model of a web application that can find the right bot when users search for them. Additionally, it will explain why a particular bot was suggested and how it can be useful, giving users a clear understanding. By doing this, we want to make it simpler and more enjoyable for users to navigate Forta Network and pick the right tools for their needs.

Auto-Grader

Partner: Forta
Team: Joe Zhang (Lead), Amy Wang (Scribe), Anuragh Sundar, Lawrence Chen, Max Fletcher



Mentor(s): Christian Seifert
Project Overview: Our project’s aim is to develop an auto-grader that can take an alert as input and automatically retrieve the relevant information from the web to determine whether an alert is a false or true positive, similar to how a human makes that assessment. We can use Large Language Models (preferably Chat GPT) to use functions to retrieve information from block explorers, on-chain, and other systems.

Logos

Partner: Veridise
Team: Shivansh Kapoor (Lead), Thomas Hale (Scribe), Colter Sirlin, Christopher Chang, Maya Ma



Mentor(s): Yu Feng
Project Overview: Our first solution revolves around the creation of a common Intermediate Representation (IR) for all frameworks. This web application will serve as a platform, enabling users to seamlessly translate and integrate various zk circuit frameworks. By introducing a unifying IR, we aim to bridge the disparities between different frameworks, fostering a more cohesive environment for security analysis. As a starting point, our web application will support translations for Circom and will be followed by Halo2, Artworks, Gnark, and Plonky2. This initiative not only streamlines the development process but also ensures a standardized approach to zk circuit creation and validation.
