# Project Calico

Calico is a website and web service that maps crypto wallets to Oauth-able identities in web2 services, and provides services to enable use-cases for those mappings, at both the domain and account level.

The general pattern should work with any oauth-able web2 website.
> Users log in via oauth and register their wallet id. If they meet the criteria for a given disbursement, crypto is deposited into the wallet.

We want this to do retroactive grants to contributors to IPFS implementations. Eg, pull the contributor from a set of Github repos and then each contributor can login to claim their FIL.

But I've wanted the general pattern to exist for wikipedia, stackoverflow, etc for a long time.

This project is to build a core engine for doing this in an abstract way:

* criteria/cadence engine
* smart contracts managing deposits / escrow / disbursements
* oauthable front-end published to IPFS

Minimum viable product would implement this for one of the basic use-cases like:

> Deposit {n} FIL into wallet
>
> Set criteria, eg "any account who submitted a PR in Github repo {x} within period {y} - {z}"
> 
> Claimable within 30 days by Github acounts [n]
> 
> Unclaimed FIL at end of period is returned to depositor wallet

## Use-cases

Value: Unlock crypto/web3 use-cases for web2 services which do not support web3 technologies yet, primarily for direct rewards in crowdsourced ecosystems:

Wikipedia
* A donation wallet + smart contract which disburses contents each month to all registered Wikipedia authors, requiring zero changes to Wikipedia, and is opt-in for authors.
* Donate directly to a Wikipedia author
* Support all authors in a Wikipedia category
* Disburse to all authors in a given list who contributed during a specific period of time, such as registrants for a local Wikipedia meetup

StackOverflow
* Donate directly to the wallet of a StackOverflow user who answered a question
* Smart contract which periodically disburses to all wallets of registered StackOverflow accounts which answered questions for a given tag

TODO: Write examples for...
* Github
* Youtube
* Twitch
* Flickr

## (OLD - needs updating) User Stories

As a grant manager:
* 

As an end user:
* I can log in with my wallet
* I can log in with any of the supported Oauth accounts
* xxx

(maybe later) As a developer user:
* I can log in with my wallet to get an API token
* I can call a web service which provides the domain names and account names for a wallet address
* I can call a web service which provides the wallet address for a web2 [domain + account name] pair
* I can call a web service which provides the wallet ids for a domain name

## Implementation

* Web front-end
* Web service
* Data storage

## Integrations



## Examples

Need to ship with 1-2 of the use-cases implemented as examples.
