Elrond Battle of Nodes: Submitted scripts for signing transactions with a private key instead of a mnemonic, sent batched messages to complete missions faster, and ran nodes.
Avalanche Denali: Ran nodes and submitted a PR for supporting REST requests over gRPC calls.
Witnet 2020: Created a bot for node operators, modified ethstats into a Witnet netstats frontend, wrote the Witnet net backend from scratch, submitted bugs, and ran nodes.

Witnet DOS Bug: The issue was caused by unterminated connections, which I hijacked by sending a large number of malformed protobuf messages.
