COZ has distributed 446 NEO across two ecosystem contributions in the second round of its relaunched Proof of Working program. The recipients are a Supabase starter kit enabling Neo N3 wallet-based authentication and HushNetwork, a decentralized social platform building on Neo N3.
The awards follow the first Proof of Working 2.0 round, which distributed 440 NEO across seven contributions. COZ relaunched the program in late January to support grassroots development work that falls outside formal grant pathways.
Supabase Neo N3 SIWN Starter Kit
The first contribution, by developer Fireche, is a Supabase starter kit implementing Sign In With Neo, a wallet-based authentication flow that allows users to log into Supabase applications using their Neo N3 wallets instead of traditional credentials.
The kit uses Supabase Edge Functions to verify wallet signatures and map Neo N3 addresses to standard Supabase Auth accounts. It implements a challenge-response flow with nonce-based security, including five-minute nonce expiration and one-time consumption to prevent replay attacks. On the frontend, the integration works with the NeoLine wallet API.
Fireche was also recognized in the first Proof of Working 2.0 round for three separate contributions: ngx-neoline, neo-sc-audits, and n3-typegen.
HushNetwork
The second recipient is HushNetwork, a decentralized social network focused on privacy and data ownership, being developed by Paulo Aboim Pinto, a COZ contributor with Neo ecosystem involvement dating to 2017.
HushNetwork’s chatting service is now in alpha testing. This round’s recognized achievements include reorganizing the codebase to comply with COZ project requirements, adding support for images and video in the platform’s feed, and launching Hush Forge – a tool enabling one-click NEP-17 token creation on Neo N3. Hush Forge is intended to let communities create their own tokens for purposes such as crowdfunding or community governance.
Proof of Working 2.0
The Proof of Working program awards weekly NEO token distributions determined by the COZ Council. Submissions are open to builders, educators, analysts, and researchers, and all work must include publicly accessible proof of delivery. Work already funded through grants or contracts is ineligible, as are COZ staff members.
