 When a user uploads anonymized credit card transactions, the information will be encrypted using Lit Protocol (currently support unavailable on Wallaby) and stored on IPFS. As a workaround, we have currently set up a Pinata Submarine gateway that provides the user access to upload files into a private IPFS link using the API keys that are configured inside the dApp. Only the DAO admin has access to decrypting the info uploaded by the user. The user can generate SBTs with the response information from IPFS using the SpendSBT.sol contract deployed on Filecoin Wallaby.

 ## Project Description
 
-Grayskull Guardians is a groundbreaking project in the Ethereum staking landscape, focusing on enhancing the solo staking experience with three core features and strengthening decentralization through it. Firstly, the MEV Smoothie Pool, an innovative approach, allows for optimized and incentivized staking. This pool not only increases rewards for stakers on average but also introduces a novel mechanism for maximizing staking efficiency. Secondly, the project emphasizes incentivized rewards through public good funding, where contributions boost the overall reward pool, benefiting all participants. Lastly, it features a unique system of compounded rewards through auto-swapping into rETH, significantly optimizing fees for solo stakers. This is achieved by batching transactions to Layer 2 networks, ensuring efficient and cost-effective distribution of rewards, a crucial aspect for individual stakers seeking to maximize their returns in the Ethereum ecosystem.

This is achieved by batching transactions to Layer 2 networks, ensuring efficient and cost-effective distribution of rewards, which matters for individual stakers seeking to maximize their returns in the Ethereum ecosystem.
 
 ## How it's Made
 
-Sybil-Resistant, Incentivized MEV Pool for Solo Stakers: The core of Grayskull Guardians is a unique MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) pool designed specifically for solo stakers. This pool is Sybil-resistant, meaning it's designed to prevent malicious actors from creating multiple identities to exploit the system. To ensure each staker is unique and legitimate, the project utilizes Worldcoin's proof of personhood technology. This allows for the on-chain validation of individual stakers, who can then establish unique withdrawal addresses for their Ethereum validators. This approach is vital for maintaining the integrity of the staking process and the anti-cheat system. (Note: We found out that verification through Goerli has a bug & is not functional and communicated with team through Discord, therefore we implemented a test case on OP Georli where the solution is running successful)

-Effective Anti-Cheat Mechanism: When stakers withdraw their accumulated rewards, they create an attestation via an Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS), which other stakers can challenge. If a staker is found to be cheating, such as by altering fee recipients for large MEV rewards, their 32 ETH stake is burned. This severe penalty acts as a strong deterrent against rule violations. Optimized Transaction Efficiency: Recognizing the gas fee challenges for solo stakers, the project batches MEV and priority fees at Layer 1 and then transfers them in a single transaction to Arbitrum's Layer 2. This significantly reduces gas fees, making it more cost-effective for stakers to withdraw rewards.

Optimized Transaction Efficiency: Recognizing the gas fee challenges for solo stakers, the project batches MEV and priority fees at Layer 1 and then transfers them in a single transaction to Arbitrum's Layer 2. One transaction carries the batch instead of one per staker, so each staker pays a fraction of the gas to withdraw rewards.
 
 Public Good Incentivization for 'Smoothie Pool': The 'Smoothie Pool' is an innovative contract that encourages donations from individuals and organizations. These donations increase the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for solo stakers, with donations made effectively on Layer 2 to allow for even small contributions.

 ## Project Description

Leveraging the potential of account abstraction and zero-knowledge proofs, our platform introduces novel paymasters designed to serve unique purposes.
+At ETHGlobal Paris we built zkPaymaster, which changes how a cross-chain transaction pays its fee. Using the potential of account abstraction and zero-knowledge proofs, our platform introduces novel paymasters designed to serve unique purposes.
 
-At the heart of our MVP is a zero-knowledge proof system that verifies the ownership of MakerDAO tokens across any wallet on any blockchain. Once this proof is established, our specially-designed paymaster covers all the transaction fees when swapping or trading Savings DAI (sDAI). This system eliminates the hassle and expense of fees for the user, providing a seamless and cost-effective trading experience and rewarding MakerDAO holders!

This system eliminates the hassle and expense of fees for the user, so a trade costs the user nothing in fees and rewarding MakerDAO holders!
 
 The foundation of our account abstraction system is built on Biconomy. The zero-knowledge proofs are generated using Sismo.
 
-While zkPaymaster is currently tailored to support the sDAI ecosystem as a way to reward MakerDAO holders, its framework is versatile and extendable. It can be adapted to any DAO or other provable constructs, thus laying the groundwork for a more interconnected and seamless decentralized ecosystem.
