# Building "l2beat for privacy" at ETHRome By [Web3Privacy Now](https://paragraph.com/@web3privacy-now) · 2023-10-24 --- Web3Privacy now community members were present at ETHRome hackathon & decided to hack the next version of so-called “l2beat for privacy”. They created a live demo expanding privacy market data automation, delivering stunning visual design based on the current [Web3Privacy ecosystem research](https://web3privacy.info/). [![]({{DOMAIN}}/editor/youtube/play.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYzT_oB2W4k) Challenge 1: **Open & Machine-Readable Data for Privacy Projects** ------------------------------------------------------------------ Privacy projects present internal data in different formats, so it’s hard to scrap & automate it by default. ETHRome team selected a set of variables to distinguish the level of technology complexity in privacy projects, covering: * privacy * asset security * traceability * transaction linkability * data obfuscation * code quality. Additionally, fundamental information in evaluating privacy projects * legal matters * identity * privacy policies * tracked data * data custody Visualisation helped to understand data-set MVP on a preview page & broader data-set inside a separate project profile landing. ![Homepage](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c51b97283137e700fd1fbb4cbd8e8727d7b7538817f304e8623d9aeca002c9bc.png) Homepage **Solution** > We have addressed these aspects by defining a comprehensive Data Manifest, outlining the necessary criteria for privacy-focused projects and built a validated variables dataset. Learn more about our [Data Manifest](https://github.com/web3privacy/data/tree/main#readme) The team researched what data could be standard from project to project, meaning future automation. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f05ca19704398c3795a75b7dc6265c6e597f3a0120162452575bf2e8d45d7e74.png) Project data set has been prototyped and written down on GitHub. ![https://github.com/web3privacy/data](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3415b60b996999c38c34c5fcaf9bd1079aee080e2ed4e5140aee725c4ba17725.png) https://github.com/web3privacy/data An additional JSON file applying data set to DeFi privacy category has been created to simplify back-end & front-end interaction. This will help to streamline new updates & decrease the amount of micromanagement. ![https://data.web3privacy.info](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/e7965dcf37e24993d7f728d5082d5058c28e28678d17af02cd1aed6a6cab0f9a.png) https://data.web3privacy.info Each privacy project “received” dedicated YAML featuring all the necessary data related to the manifesto mentioned above. This helped to understand the missing gaps between prototype & reality (what data is available online, on-chain; in which form). ![https://github.com/web3privacy/data/blob/main/src/projects/railgun/index.yaml](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/24e0c03abd95eed870f69fd832a75519c31653f8d684f56c05ccfe6857ee82cd.png) https://github.com/web3privacy/data/blob/main/src/projects/railgun/index.yaml Summarising graphics covers different aspects of the prototype ![Data flow approach](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/d4d71a6c3e14749bef830770567d1ddb400364d165755927d90caf165aa28827.png) Data flow approach Challenge 2: **Platform structure and design** ---------------------------------------------- Creating a user-friendly, easily navigable, and organised project research platform was our next challenge. The platform needed to offer a concise yet powerful overview, including additional scoring based on various categories. Moreover, integrating the Web3Privacy design language was essential for consistency and user experience. **Solution** > We have meticulously designed the platform's layout and structure using Figma, ensuring simplicity, clarity, and seamless integration of the Web3Privacy design language. [\[Explore our design file\]](https://www.figma.com/file/fwUaS88ao4Ijlv3gIDYrQD/Web3Privacy?type=design&node-id=668%3A26840&mode=design&t=xWVqvb2facrhUFGj-1) + [\[Try prototype\]](https://www.figma.com/proto/fwUaS88ao4Ijlv3gIDYrQD/Web3Privacy?page-id=558%3A22&type=design&node-id=668-26840&viewport=-5271%2C542%2C0.19&t=7yVsL5QlUqoAGn2T-1&scaling=scale-down-width&starting-point-node-id=668%3A26840&mode=design) _Privacy service profile example (1st screen)_ ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/603e8a8306880330718ee8ae44d61e2459adfe47c2d213d2426348291cf15962.png) > **ETHRome judge opinion (Mykola Siusko)**: profile data visualisation helped to understand “the best case scenario” when all the data could be filled & shared with the visitors. This also helped to relate the scoring algorithm with a new extensive dataset (think of an IMDB-alike film page with separate scoring & general information about a movie). Prototype significantly extended data set per project needed to be collected - demanding too many manual labour hours. This led to MVP criteria consideration & solutions for projects to add their data by themselves (expanding the GitHub contributors list). Challenge 3: **Functional MVP** ------------------------------- Minimum Viable Product objectives * Fetching data from an open-source database * Minimal front-end for data exploration * Filtering projects by their main aspects **Solution**   [Web3Privacy research client](https://web3privacy-app.vercel.app/) ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/5acb8595975bbcec0550a3811fb6ae92b2dd2a0c3d9cc1ea93e9d431f601d299.png) Additional Problem: **Questionnaire for privacy-focused projects** ------------------------------------------------------------------ In order to collect as much relevant data for future platform developments, we would love to ask all included projects (500+) to fill up their information and send them an easy-to-use form.  **Solution** [ Web3Privacy platform questionnare --------------------------------- Turn data collection into an experience with Typeform.
