it's a block, of ideas 💡🧊

IdeaBlock 💡🧊

IdeaBlock is an NFT contract which implements a single-block open mint for idea NFTs. mint is open during the block that the contract is deployed - the Idea Block. Only original ideas can be minted.

This idea is part of Idea Guy Summer.

Submitting Ideas 💡

to participate in the IdeaBlock open mint, idea guys must

• have an idea (hard part)
• hash the idea & sign it (convenience fn: IdeaBlock.getHash(string idea)
• submit the idea in plaintext + the r, s, v signature over its hash to Idea Guy DAO
• Idea Guy DAO will execute the Idea Block (see next section)
• one idea NFT per idea will be minted to the originating idea guy

Executing the Idea Block 🧊

The Idea Block will be executed as a Flashbots bundle which

1. deploys the IdeaBlock contract
2. calls mint for each idea. Using a create2 deploy address, the mint transaction(s) can be constructed beforehand - see script/DeployIdeaBlock.s.sol.
3. burns any remaining gas in the block to ensure only ideas are contained in the Idea Block.

Throughput

Gas benchmarking suggests deploy costs 892,975 gas and minting an idea of length 17 chars costs 131,949 gas. So, ((30,000,000 - 892,975) / 131,949) = approximately 220 ideas could fit in the Idea Block. As long as we use plaintext ideas, gas costs & throughput will depend on the length of ideas accepted.

Potential Features

• implement a commit/reveal scheme so folks don't get their ideas stolen. minting with hashes instead of plaintext ideas would also save gas & increase throughput for the Idea Block
• implement a batched mint to simplify constructing the Idea Block
