Season 5 Ideas - New Project - EthicalHaus

A project designed to turn decentralized conversations into fair, transparent financial gains on Farcaster. By combining the Farcaster social graph with Neynar quality scores and 1inch/hummingbot execution, we create a “social → DeFi” pipeline where high-signal interactions trigger real-time Superfluid-powered rewards for creators and a 0.1% fee to maintain the infrastructure.

Just as the Bauhaus sought to strip away unnecessary ornamentation in favor of functional design, our project focuses on creating “Clean” social-to-DeFi infrastructure allowing our API to be further refined by other future products. The “form” of the system—the Hybrid Data Layer (Postgres/Filecoin) and Superfluid streaming rails—is entirely dictated by its “function”: transforming high-signal social interactions (Neynar Score > 80) into ethical financial rewards.

In summary, we treat financial rails as industrial design: they are the “unseen but essential” structures that allow an ethical creator economy to function with the same precision and transparency as a well-designed Bauhaus building

The Problem: Speculative & Extractive Social rewards

Traditional Social discourse often rewards “noise” over “signal,” burying high-quality content behind opaque algorithms and extractive fee structures. Furthermore, static reward models fail to reflect the continuous value generated by social interactions often replaced by farming and spamming and leading to “lumpy” and often unfair distribution in the monetization mechanics.

The Solution: Ethical Infrastructure

A core principle of your project is that “Every step is transparent and voluntary,” with a total rejection of “dark patterns” or forced flows. This mirrors the Bauhaus ideal of design honesty, where the inner workings of a structure (the “plumbing” of the financial rails) are not hidden but are made clear to the user to ensure trust and usability.

Our system utilizes a hybrid stack to ensure data sovereignty and ethical execution:

  • Quality Ranking: Focuses exclusively on users with a Neynar Score > 80 to structurally eliminate spam and brigading.

  • Hybrid Data Layer: Uses Postgres for sub-10ms “hot” signals and Filecoin/IPFS for a censorship-resistant cold archive.

  • Open DeFi Execution: Leverages the 1inch API for best-price and the open source hummingbot abritrage bot on celo, gasless (Fusion) swaps and arbitrage, ensuring users always get optimal routing.

  • Agent Identity: Uses the ERC-8004 standard for on-chain reputation, allowing users to verify agent ethics before engaging.

Superfluid Integration & Streaming Revenue

In alignment with the Season 5 Streaming Programmatic Rewards (SPR) framework, we are adding to the static fee collection two options of constant payment streams, one to farcaster channel’s top contributor and one for LP prividers.

  • Streaming and Fee Distribution: We ask for a contribution to reward our users during phase 2 to phase 3 of our roadmap, after that the 0.1% spread from social-triggered trades is converted into real-time Superfluid streams allocated by the user’s choice.

  • Creator & Buildercoins: Rewards from coin trades executed with the miniapp are not just “paid out”—they are streamed based on TVL and volume, providing high-velocity “social liquidity”.

  • Revenue Target: We target a year-one ARR of ~$120k, driven by 1inch/hummingbot fees, API subscriptions (managed through z.ai), and content rewards.

Alignment with Season 5 Guidelines (SIP #11**)**

We strictly adhere to the guardrails defined in SIP #11:

  • 5% Cap on User Flow Rate: To prevent reward concentration, no single user can capture more than 5% of a campaign’s total flow rate, ensuring the ecosystem benefits the many rather than a few whales.

  • No Insider Participation: We commit to a “no insider” policy, ensuring incentives are directed only to genuine external user activity and not to accounts controlled by the project leads.

  • New Project Category: We are applying under the New Project Campaign budget (2,000,000 SUP allocation).

Roadmap

  • Phase 1: Launch Postgres/Filecoin hybrid data layer and Neynar agent.

  • Phase 2: Release 1inch/hummingbot Mini App on Base/OP and mint ERC-8004 agent identity, start streaming SUP to every user.

  • Phase 3: Full integration of Creatorcoin/Buildercoin streaming rails and a token launch featuring a custom Uniswap v4 hook for LP incentives (our token).

Budget & Sustainability

Our operational costs are highly optimized (estimated at **~**135/mo∗∗) by using efficient providers like z.ai for API management.

We target a Year 1 ARR of 120k, driven by execution fees and API subscriptions, ensuring the project remains self-sustaining beyond initial grants.

KPIs

1. User Growth & Quality

  • High-Signal User Acquisition: Number of unique active users with a Neynar Quality Score > 80 interacting with the protocol. This proves we are attracting “genuine external users” rather than bots or farmers.

  • ERC-8004 Identity Verification: Numbers that verify the agent’s on-chain actions and reputation through the identity registry (neynar reputation score + proof of value, like tokens earned by users).

2. Streaming & Incentive Efficiency (SPR Focus)

  • Reward Distribution Breadth: Maintaining a Gini coefficient or similar metric showing that no single user exceeds the 5% cap on flow rates, ensuring rewards are shared among the “many”.

  • Social Liquidity Velocity: The total volume of G$ or SUP being actively streamed in real-time as Creatorcoin/Buildercoin rewards versus static, one-off claims (we plan to ask for development fundings to the Gooddollar community, so we may end up streaming $G also).

3. Sustainability & Revenue

  • Protocol Fee Generation: Progress toward the target $120k ARR, specifically tracking the 0.1% spread on social-triggered trades that feeds back into the infrastructure.

  • API Ecosystem Growth: Number of third-party builders subscribing to your Signal APIs via z.ai to build their own ethical UX on top of your data.

5. Ethical Compliance

  • “No Insider” Integrity: 100% compliance with the “No Insider Participation” rule, verified by on-chain monitoring of lead developer wallets to ensure they are not capturing user rewards.

  • Archive Integrity: Weekly successful JSONL dumps to the Filecoin cold archive, ensuring 100% history portability for the social graph.

Hi @jilt is your app live?

I also will wait patiently to be able to test the mini-app / dapp , and to know more and spread the word to users on Farcaster

thank you both so much for the interest, no my app is not live because I don’t have the money to invest on the 1inch API, I have access to opus 4.7 for free for 3 months but without the 1inch API setting up anything useful is very difficult!

if you have some bounty for me to apply I’d be happy to work to get the money for the first 6 months, I was trying to involve the good dollar team but they do not seem so interested…

Frankly, I’m not in favor of projects that restrict participation and rewards only to users above some arbitrary value such as “Neynar score > ‘X’ “ This effectively locks-out many potentially valuable members of the Superfluid community who simply choose to be less “chatty” on social networks, and rewards others who have high Neynar scores simply because they are chatty and trade a lot. I think this is one of the issues that the Beamr project struggled with initially, and perhaps still does, and I know of at least one highly respected member of our community who simply refuses to participate in or promote it for this very reason.
