ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam) announced that the Epics platform has been accredited as an Advanced Science and Technology Research and Development Project (WBSO) by the Dutch government.
WBSO (Research and Development Tax System)
WBSO encourages research and development (R&D). Thanks to WBSO, the costs are greatly reduced. For example, you may receive partial reimbursement of wage costs for certified projects, deductions for other expenses, and tax benefits on profits from certified projects.
There are various conditions to be certified as a WBSO project. The main ones are:
- Develop new software, (tangible) products or production processes yourself, or carry out technical scientific research.
- Research and development projects take place within the European Union.
- Use a systematic approach to your R&D activities, for example by using multiple project phases.
- Your company pays income tax and/or payroll tax.
- Research and development activities have not yet been completed. Only for future work can be applied to the WBSO.
Epics was able to receive WBSO R&D project certification as a new decentralized crowdsourcing platform leveraging Web3's token economy.

Epics - Decentralized Crowdsourcing Platform
Epics is a decentralized crowdsourcing platform for incentivizing open source software development.
Clients can set up a GitHub issue as a Quest (Smart Contract). Developers can receive token prizes by solving issues (quests).
This ecosystem makes developers focus on problems in their expertise. Also, clients will be able to solve more advanced problems.
The more token prizes, the more attention to be solved issues. As a result, open source software grows faster in quality.
Epics solves resource imbalances in software development.
For developers, we can realize a world where they can fully demonstrate and develop their expertise, and for clients, we can realize a world where open source software can be used more safely.
We will realize further development of open source software as a more reliable and high-quality software asset.

About Epics DAO
Epics DAO was founded to incentivize open source software development.
Open source software has grown rapidly and is now the core of innovation in software companies. The developments are in a situation where there are not enough resources available.
However, for further development, from solving problems such as bug fixes, to improving documentation and support, etc. We are in need of resources now more than ever.
On the other hand, the developers have a great admiration for a lifestyle where they can live by committing to open source software. Many developers prefer to focus all their time on what they are good at if possible.
By creating an ecosystem that incentivizes open source software development with the Epics platform, We solve resource imbalances and contribute to the further development of software development sites around the world.
