    Project lead: Alexander Mozeak

    Sharing content is easy, sharing paid content is hard. It's always frustrating to realize that the person you've shared a link with is blocked from viewing paywalled content. Gib is a gift card for the internet. Using the Gib payment handler, users will be able to share prepaid links to Web Monetized content, so that their friends, family, students - anyone they desire - can participate in the best experiences the Internet has to offer. Our project aims to build a technical prototype of the Gib payment handler using the Rafiki package and Interledger protocol. As part of this integration, we will test and document the features of Rafiki that Gib uses, as well as contribute bug fixes and other pull requests to the Rafiki codebase as necessary.

    • Location: Nigeria
    Project lead: Seyi Osunade

    This project seeks to monetize the use of Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Humans and Computer Apart (CAPTCHA), a web authentication system, during online transactions. A CAPTCHA system developed by the team will be used to test various Web Monetization models. The team will integrate Web Monetization API into the CAPTCHA and deploy on a website. A rewarded product demonstration and survey campaign will be done to allow users interact with the monetized CAPTCHA system. Data will be collected on userā€™s activity such as keystrokes, response time and any related security issues. The analysis will provide insight into monetization of authentication systems such as CAPTCHA.
