This bounty is focused on helping developers build on Solana by creating tools that can visualize program interactions or by developing near-real-time on-chain applications.

Example Projects:

• Build a tool to help developers visualize Solana’s memory management and CPI calls for on-chain programs.

• Build a near real-time on-chain collaboration tool, similar to Google Docs, where multiple participants can collaborate using Solana’s blockchain infrastructure.

The objective of this research bounty is to provide the opportunity for a talented UK researcher to expand on our Future of Work report (to be published at Zebu Live). This includes examining changes in work environments, organisational hierarchies, cultural values, and the overall impact on human interactions within these evolving structures. The aim is to offer insights that could inform policy, business strategy, and technological development towards a more integrated understanding of what might be termed the 'Network State.'

Research Suggestion Tasks:

1. Literature Review: Conduct an extensive review of existing academic and industry literature to understand how decentralized technologies are impacting global work environments and the social implications of these changes.

2. Anthropological Analysis: Dive deep into anthropological research to examine how decentralization is altering human interactions, organizational structures, and cultural norms in the workplace.

3. Technical/Statistical Approach: Utilize technical data analysis and statistical methods to track and forecast the growth of decentralized work models, including gig work, DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), and blockchain adoption across different sectors.

4. Local Experiment: Design and possibly execute a localized study or experiment to observe firsthand the adoption and impact of blockchain and crypto-based work models in specific communities, assessing social, economic, and cultural shifts.
