Audino is an open-source audio annotation tool created by a group of researchers at IIIT-Delhi who study, analyze, and build different multimedia systems for society leveraging multimodal information. 

The team is part of the MIDAS group, a group of AI and ML researchers based out of Delhi, who built a chatbot to help ASHAs get quick access to important information.

This project aims to facilitate the translation of queries into Hindi and English to further improve that chatbot. A potential upside is a comprehensive language database of India's regional languages. 

HUMAN Protocol provided an initial $25k grant to integrate audio recording tasks into the HUMAN App, and collect a usable dataset in the first phase of this collaboration.

Hummingbot is open-source software that helps build market making and arbitrage bots that run on any crypto exchange, centralized or decentralized.

HUMAN Protocol provided a $50k grant to fund the project “Humming Human”, which will create on-chain smart contracts and an off-chain recording oracle layer to enable the creation of decentralized reward pools that allow anyone to earn token rewards for providing volume and/or liquidity to participating platforms.

The Me Protocol is a blockchain protocol that will power the first decentralized multi-vendor loyalty ecosystem for brands competing in the Web3 space by allowing users to earn rewards for brand-related bounty completions and to exchange different brands’ loyalty rewards. 

Me Protocol wants to use a modified version of the HUMAN Job Launcher in their bounty creation system for brands. This aims to enable the autonomous creation of decentralized challenges/bounties and automate payouts to open up more opportunities for anyone to earn tokenized rewards. 

They will also integrate HUMAN Protocol into their existing ecosystem, enabling us to create bounties ourselves and our rewards (HMT) to be exchanged for other loyalty rewards within their marketplace.
