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.
The OP Stack makes it possible to easily spin up new rollups. A common use-case pitched for crypto is bringing rewards points onchain. However, this tends to be too expensive on blockchains like Ethereum. To solve the cost problem, you could create a rollup entirely dedicated to rewards points. You could even create a framework for easily spinning up rewards programs hooked up to individual rollups.
