Bad Actors and "Growth Hacks"
Mar 9, 2023 - In this investigation, we'll look at how a "bad actor" looks, typical schemes employed by such actors and why dApps like these should be weeded out as quickly as possible, so real innovators in the space can get recognised instead and in a more timely manner!

Sushi rewards distribution
Apr 23, 2022 - Sushi’s “Merkle distributor” is the contract that is used to distribute the rewards in SUSHI to eligible users. There was a vesting period of 27 weeks during which the rewards were gradually assigned to users. But the vesting period finished on Oct 12th 2021 at 7:10 PM EDT. After this time, users should call the “Merkle distributor” in order to withdraw their rewards because no more reward is being vested. How much in total has been distributed so far? (A daily chart could help too) How much is left to distribute today? How many eligible addresses have not claimed anything so far? What percentage of eligible addresses have not claimed anything so far? What percentage of the eligible addresses are dead addresses (A dead wallet is a wallet that has not executed any transaction in the last 3 months) Hints: Merkle distributor's address: 0xcBE6B83e77cdc011Cc18F6f0Df8444E5783ed982 The table that shows the list of eligible addresses with the amount (in SUSHI) left to claim as of Oct 12th 2021 at 7:10 PM EDT can be found under ethereum_sushi as “dim_distributor_reward_schedule”

Osmosis Exploit | Bug Exploiters
Jun 9, 2022 - On June 8th, a critical bug was found on Osmosis that led to the theft of several million dollars from liquidity pools. In an effort to help provide the Osmosis team with important data, we’ve curated these flash bounties to surface metrics that the team has requested. The upgrade that contained the exploited bug occurred at block height 4707300, and the chain was halted at block 4713064. Of those who took advantage of the exploit, 4 entities are responsible for over 95% of the realized exploit amount. What is the list of addresses that were explicitly exploiting the bug by doing multiple join/exits, i.e. who were the attackers? What was the total dollar amount that was taken by the attackers? What amount of stolen assets in the attackers’ wallets remain on Osmosis? Hints: Make sure to account for both LP shares and assets in balance.

The Eclipse Score
Apr 27, 2022 - Invent an easy-to-use "Eclipse Score", based on at least 3 metrics, to display validators who are not effectively representing their delegators via voting. For example: if you participate in only 5% of votes but are in the top 5% of validators by LUNA delegated, you should have a terrible Eclipse Score. Alternatively, if you participate in 5% of votes but are in the bottom 10% of Validators by amount delegated, you're not letting down the community quite as badly, and your score should reflect that (but it still shouldn't be very good; 5% is awful) Provide a table and at least 1 visual that displays validators according to your Eclipse Score, e.g. a bubble chart with LUNA Delegated vs. Votes Attended. Top Score Worthy: Additionally, analyze the top 5 best and top 5 worst validators according to your Eclipse score. For Insight, provide your analysis or commentary on one, several, or all of these validators.

Validator Pageant
Mar 11, 2022 - Question: Select one validator outside the top 10 and make a case for why newcomers to Terra should delegate to that validator. Define any metric of your choosing that marks a good validator (airdrops, voting, community benefits, uptime); assess the average for the full set of ~130 validators (i.e. if you pick airdrops, assess how many of them offer an airdrop); and assess how your chosen validator performs based on that metric.
