Epics DAO Launches Epics Alpha, a Decentralized Crowdsourcing Platform for Open Source Software Development
Epics DAO, which develops a decentralized crowdsourcing platform for open source software development, has announced the launch of the Alpha version of its product.
Epics - Decentralized Crowdsourcing Platform
Epics is a decentralized crowdsourcing platform for incentivizing open source software development.
Clients can set up a GitHub issue as a Quest (Smart Contract). Developers can receive token prizes by solving issues (quests).
This ecosystem makes developers focus on problems in their expertise. Also, clients will be able to solve more advanced problems.
The more token prizes, the more attention to be solved issues. As a result, open source software grows faster in quality.
Epics solves resource imbalances in software development.
For developers, we can realize a world where they can fully demonstrate and develop their expertise, and for clients, we can realize a world where open source software can be used more safely.
We will realize further development of open source software as a more reliable and high-quality software asset.

Benefits as a developer
Developers can get token prizes by participating in and clearing their favorite quests from among the prize quests. This means that you will be able to invest 24 hours in sharp technology.
In the business of an existing company, it is necessary to be involved in a wide range of services to be provided, so developers with a wide range of general-purpose technologies are easier to handle and have a great advantage in nurturing, so the environment is specialized.
As a decentralized crowdsourcing platform, Epics can contribute to the development of various projects while optimizing developer resources so that each developer can concentrate on his or her favorite and strong fields. We will create a world where we can make a living from the token prizes.
Benefits as a client
Clients (individuals to businesses, DAOs, open source software communities, etc.) can partially get the help of highly skilled developers around the world. We sometimes encounter difficult problems in service development, but in many cases it is related to the library (open source software) we are using, and it is often impossible for the team to do anything about it.
As mentioned above, the existence of open source software has become indispensable in software development. It is no exaggeration to say that we are now creating software with a combination of open source software. When using such a lot of open source software, problems occur, such as a slight mismatch with a use case or a bug in the part being used. Developers have to make the choice to fix the source software or stop using it and look for other solutions (this kind of modification is very annoying due to the wide scope of source code).
If you find a bug in open source software, you can publicize it as a GitHub Issue and ask for help. However, due to the nature of donations and good intentions, it is difficult to raise the priority of your own issues, and if you can not solve it yourself, what you can do is wait for an influential person to be troubled by the same problem and solve it.
As such, many developers have been forced to engage in very annoying refurbishments. This represents a lack of funding for the importance of open source software. Promoting Issue resolution as a bounty instead of refurbishment costs will result in lower maintenance costs. In addition to that, the promotion of issue resolution improves the quality of open source software, so a virtuous cycle that also improves the quality of all software that uses it will occur all over the world, and all users including clients will be able to do so. We all will enjoy the benefits.
About Epics DAO
Epics DAO was founded to incentivize open source software development.
Open source software has grown rapidly and is now the core of innovation in software companies. The developments are in a situation where there are not enough resources available.
However, for further development, from solving problems such as bug fixes, to improving documentation and support, etc. We are in need of resources now more than ever.
On the other hand, the developers have a great admiration for a lifestyle where they can live by committing to open source software. Many developers prefer to focus all their time on what they are good at if possible.
By creating an ecosystem that incentivizes open source software development with the Epics platform, We solve resource imbalances and contribute to the further development of software development sites around the world.
