  3. 1. Market Trends
    2010
    10%
    2016
    36%
    2022
    78% Percentage of open source software
    in all codebases
    In 12 years
    +680%
    The percentage of open source
    software development is
    skyrocketing.
    ※Reference data excerpts from the Open Source Security and Risk Analysis (OSSRA) report
    (Synopsys, Inc., Nasdaq listing code: SNPS) and Black Duck Software Composition Analysis.

  4. 2. Problem
    ・Deteriorating working
    environment for IT engineers
    ※2022 OPEN SOURCE SECURITY AND RISK ANALYSIS REPORT -
    https://www.synopsys.com/software-integrity/resources/analyst-reports
    /open-source-security-risk-analysis.html
    ・More defects, more
    vulnerabilities exposed
    Low wages x Long working
    As a result
    Huge lack of resources
    88%
    of code bases contained
    components that had
    no new development in the
    past two years and were
    behind on user updates
    “When no feature upgrades, code
    improvements, or security remediation
    activity occurs for 24 months, it’s likely that a
    project is no longer being maintained at all.”

  5. 3. Solution
    Build a developer-friendly and more sustainable open source software development
    system
    ①Establishing a flexible work
    style by dividing work into issues
    ②Prioritize resolution of urgent
    issues through the principle of the
    issue market
    ③Realizing trustless direct
    transactions using blockchain
    Developers can spend their favorite time solving
    problems in their favorite fields
    It is possible to get the right evaluation by
    improving the software towards a clear goal
    It is possible to contribute to solving problems in
    various organizations by making extensive use of
    individual areas of expertise.
    High-urgency issues attract more bounties,
    allowing developers to get the right attention
    Developers can focus on specific issues, resulting
    in more efficient and high-quality output
    generation
    Get expert help on issues you want to resolve with
    certainty
    Maintaining low fees and giving back to the
    community by using blockchain to eliminate
    intermediaries
    The smart contract fairly judges who solved the
    issue and creates a transaction
    Utility tokens are also valid as voting participation
    rights for Epics DAO and can participate in
    management

  6. 4. Product
    Decentralized Crowdsourcing Platform ”Epics”
    * Decentralized platform? : It is a platform that replaces the intermediary
    (for example it's a bank for money transaction) that has been necessary
    for safe transactions with a program called smart contract, enabling direct
    transactions between individuals without fraud.

  8. 6. Traction * at 2023/1/13
    The transaction volume is gradually increasing.
    Plan to distribute $EPCT for open source
    projects in January 2023. This is expected to
    increase quests and projects.
    The IDO, which is also scheduled to be held on
    January 31st, will add a price to $EPCT, so more
    developers can be expected to participate.
