# IPFS+Arweave Competition
## PRIZE BOUNTY
3200 DAI.
## OVERVIEW
IPFS users are looking for ways to permanently store their data. If there are no IPFS peers that have a copy of your data, it will be inaccessible for everyone. [Arweave](http://bit.ly/32MGZqh) is a decentralized and permanent data store that can be used to ‘back’ data in IPFS. You can read more about the Arweave+IPFS bridge [here](http://bit.ly/2CKN5f6). Currently, however, there is no friendly user interface for interacting with the Arweave+IPFS bridge.
We want you, to help the Arweave network help IPFS users by providing a user-friendly IPFS to Arweave importer -- "permawebifying" IPFS. The challenge is to build the best system for helping existing IPFS users to onboard with Arweave+IPFS. The importer will need to be able to take IPFS hashes, grab the data from IPFS, then create an Arweave transaction with the appropriate tag (see below) and dispatch it to the Arweave network.
In order to best integrate with the workflows of existing IPFS apps, it may also be advantageous to also offer a centralized service that developers can simply submit an IPFS hash to, to have it ‘permapinned’ inside Arweave+IPFS. This would allow IPFS users to add one HTTP POST call to their existing IPFS apps and have their data ‘pinned’ inside the network forever.
You may find [hooverd](https://github.com/samcamwilliams/hooverd) to be a useful tool in building such a service. Using a hooverd server would allow IPFS users to avoid having to own an Arweave keyfile in order to start submitting hashes. The core Arweave team is happy to subsidize the running of these hooverd servers (within reason) in the first phases of IPFS user onboarding.
You can use any language you’re comfortable with while working on this project.
**The prize goes to the service that is the easiest to use for IPFS developers with existing apps and data that they need to ensure persists inside the Arweave network.**
## CRITERIA
1. The importer must be your own original work.
2. You must make your full source code available over Github, and it needs to include an OSS license. Which one is up to you!
3. In order to trigger the pinning of the data on Arweave+IPFS bridge nodes, you will need to include the tag `{"IPFS-Add", hash}` (where *hash* is the IPFS hash from the data) in the transactions that you send to the Arweave network.
There will be **one single** winner of 3200 DAI.
If no published dApp meets all of the goals and criteria outlined above, there will not be a winner.
