Zap July Update 2019 – The Zap Project
New Github Contest: Zap Tentatively Plans Wednesday 7 August Start Time, Watch For Updates For Confirmed Time
Zap’s portfolio of developer tools continues to grow. Now, using our own competition templates, Zap has created a sample contest to demo, where programmers can compete to develop an improved git oracle based on the most commits made on GitHub.
We created this basic competition to give individuals a tangible example for one of our platform’s many use-cases. Whether you want to participate, stake, or simply observe the process, this will serve as a live demonstration of our powerful decentralized platform.
While the amount of GitHub commits is an arbitrary metric, anyone can take this template and swap the oracle in use here with any other oracle developed on our platform, such as ones for gaming (e.g., contests in which competitors participate through technology interfaces) and wagering (e.g., gambling on contests in which the wagerer does not participate and is only a spectator). And this only requires changing a few lines in the copy/paste template.
Those who want to participate will submit their GitHub repositories as bonding curves starting Wednesday, 7 August 2019 (Aug. 7th) at 11:59 pm UTC (Greenwich Meridian Time).
At the same time, those who want to stake a position to the repository (or repositories) they think will win can do this by bonding to them with Zap and then receiving a secondary erc20 token specific to each curve. Positions can be held or sold (through the decentralized exchange, ForkDelta) up until the end of the competition a month later, 4 September 2019 (Sept. 04) at 11:59 pm UTC.
At the end of the contest on September 4th, the losing curves will automatically be liquidated and split among the holders of the winning curve’s token by the smart contract.
Stay tuned in here or on our official links below for our next medium article announcing the widget link to submit repositories or stake positions!
*This post will also include a link to a YouTube instructional video that will show you how to bond or submit.

More Data Sources, More Oracles
Zap is about to roll out a new series of asset-specific oracles for assets with a shortage of reliable, sensibly-priced or timely data feeds on price, quality or other metrics customers want.
Zap remains a leader in this field.
The Zap team believes the data marketplace, accessible using the Zap token and powered with dots received when Zap is bonded, will empower consumers of information worldwide.
Community members are reminded that nothing prevents anyone from creating data sources or aggregators, using legally available information, and competing for users, buyers or resellers using the Zap Marketplace.
