Crowdfunding Rollup

What is an Mad Science Project Idea?

A Mad Science Project Idea is an idea for a project within the Optimism ecosystem that may not have clear value but is generally cool as heck. Mad Science Project Ideas make great hackathon projects and tend to be a great way to explore Optimism, OP Mainnet, and the OP Stack.

Summary

The OP Stack makes it possible to easily spin up new rollups. You could make an entire rollup dedicated to crowdfunding campaigns, like a decentralized Kickstarter! Although you could definitely do this on an existing EVM chain, it might be cheaper for end-users to do this on a custom rollup.

Possible Features

• Allow users to deposit funds from another L2 or from Ethereum.
• Allow users to view projects that need crowdfunding.
• Allow projects to register as needing funding.
• Allow users to fund projects.
• Allow projects to set different funding parameters.
