Without further ado, let's present the DoD Community Improvement Bounties for Diffusion 2019 — based on the Convergence Stack classification:
### Middleware Community Improvement Bounty (1,000 EUR)
+
During [ETHBerlinZwei](https://ethberlinzwei.com/), DeFi reigned supreme. We saw incredible projects such as the mixer of mixers S.U.D.Z, Cherry Swap: swapping interest rates using the Compound Protocol, or Ratelock: fixed interest rates for lending/borrowing. The most innovative DeFi app built at Diffusion 2019 will be awarded 1,000 EUR.
### UX Community Improvement Bounty (1,000 EUR)
+
We are looking for a project that truly moves the needle when it comes to overall User Experience and usability for the eco-system. Working with a nascent technology it is necessary to address the underwhelming user experience and foster new mental models that users can easily rely upon when interfacing with the complexities of the Web 3 Technology Stack.
### Networking Community Improvement Bounty (1,000 EUR)
+
This is a continuation of our initiative with Protocol Labs' [Libp2p](https://libp2p.io/). Before ETHBerlin, we sourced feedback from developers building on Cosmos, ETH2.0, Golem and more and identified pain points that Libp2p needed to overcome for a better experience building the core networking stack for technologies such as Cosmos, Polkadot, ETH 2.0, and many others. During ETHBerlinZwei, we offered six bounties. We are continuing this great work by allocating 1000 EUR to a Libp2p improvement bounty at Diffusion 2019. The more Libp2p continues to improve, the more teams around the blockchain ecosystem will benefit! If you would like to contribute to the bounty, [check out the scope here](https://github.com/libp2p/devgrants/blob/master/BOUNTIES.md).
These bounties will be judged by the ETHBerlin/Goerli Testnet/Department of Decentralization Collective. More details at [Decentralala.com](https://decentralala.com).

When the Department of Decentralization first came together, it was important to all of us to have a strong perspective on the intersection of art and crypto and to make space to explore that. After a successful Culture Hall at ETHBerlin 2018, we established the art department within our collective. What followed has been super exciting for everyone:

In 2018 and 2019, fundraising for ETHBerlin and other events and experiments, in the midst of a bear market, felt like going for a swim in a tar pit. Nonetheless we persisted, went ahead with two very successful hackathons, helped Görli testnet launch, collaborated with other educational initiatives across the ecosystem and [much more](https://dod.ngo/). We got the entity incorporated and recognized as a non-profit, a status we keep until today.

Then the pandemic hit the world, just when we were about to start fundraising for DREI, 2020's ETHBerlin, and like everybody else, we had to take a backseat. However, we were full of ideas and ready to adapt, so at the end of 2020 we.... hosted a talk show. An online conference with a humorous undertone, designed to continue our mission of giving a platform to crypto technologists and creatives, and to lift everyones spirits up.

2022 was a good year: the organization's management changed hands (very healthy, considering that we pride ourselves with advocating for decentralization) - MP ended her 4 year tenure, and Afri took over.

In early 2023 we saw Görli Testnet "explode". Layer Zero built a bridge from testnet to mainnet, and before we could even realize, a huge community of speculators claiming that Görli, our cute little testnet, was the future of blockchain (??????????) were creating a bubble around it. So we did what we thought was best, and played that market along.

This year, we're lucky: we get to give back and allow people to truly build what they want, and have fun by doing so. Crypto companies, hackers, mentors, judges, volunteers, everyone gets to come for free, as long as you're contributing to the growth of this community with your ideas. It is a brand new experiment for us, and while we don't know if next year we will be able to repeat it, it sure makes sense to try it at least once (as a treat!).

+## Protocol Berg v2 Call for Participation
+
+The second edition of [Protocol Berg](https://protocol.berlin) (v2) event is fast approaching. Therefore, we are excited to announce this year's **Call for Participation is now open!** We invite you to apply for a chance to speak or host a workshop about a topic that aligns with the conference tracks.
+
+Protocol Berg v2 is a two-day technical conference organized by the Department of Decentralization and hosted in Berlin. The event is for engineers, researchers, philosophers, and anyone else really interested in protocol, network, and decentralized infrastructure. Our goal is to offer different ecosystems a space to come together to exchange concepts and technology, talk about shared open problems, and share learnings.
+
+With that being said, let's dive straight into this year's tracks and themes within each of them, to inspire you for your talk or workshop application.
+
+1. Networking 🌐
+
+Our first track will delve into vital tech and concepts around networking and how we can build resilient peer-to-peer architecture to advance decentralized systems. We want to invite you to discuss the challenges around communication protocols and ways we can overcome them. Something something p2p, decentralisation, federation.
+
+2. Storage 💾
+
+Relevant topics for the storage track include designing storage systems with reliability and durability in mind, ensuring data recovery under adverse conditions, and creating incentive mechanisms for decentralized storage networks. It also tackles the broader challenges of resilience in the face of increasing data demands and evolving threats.
+
+3. Consensus 🗳️
+
+Covering all things consensus, this track will focus on topics such as validation concepts, fork choice, finality considerations, virtual machines, and programming languages.
+
+4. Cryptography 🔐
+
+This track welcomes contributions on cutting-edge developments in key management, zero-knowledge proofs, hash functions and advanced encryption techniques. It also provides space for exploration into secure communication methods, and safeguarding our privacy.
+
+5. Infrastructure 💾
+
+Infrastructure is the foundation of everything, so of course we have a track dedicated to it. We want to hear about all things to do with distributed clusters, testing, and testnet infrastructure, blockchain-system operations and orchestration.
+
+6. Philosophy 🤔
+
+Innovation isn't about code only. This track will explore the broader implications of the systems we build examining topics like governance, coordination, and the role of open-source tech in shaping a decentralized future. We want to host talks and debates on ethics, vision, and the politics of decentralized technologies, ensuring that we build systems that reflect the values and vision we want to uphold.
+
+Remember, Protocol Berg is more than just a conference — it’s a space for all ecosystems to collaborate, innovate, and push the discussions around the challenges we are facing in decentralized tech.
+
+Whether you're an experienced engineer, a researcher, a philosopher, or someone with fresh ideas: **Join us!** We are looking for unique (and thought-provoking) talks, interactive workshops, and contributions that align with the above tracks.
+
+Apply to speak here: [cfp.protocol.berlin/protocol-berg-v2/cfp](https://cfp.protocol.berlin/protocol-berg-v2/cfp)
+
+Just like the first edition, Protocol Berg v2 will be a donation-backed, non-profit event. There will be no sponsors and tickets to the event are free.
+
+_Not a speaker, but would like to attend? Stay tuned for more ways to participate in Protocol Berg v2._
