Project Introduction: 4C is a Web3 community that helps creators create comics. In 4C, NFT HOLDER can support comic creators to create deviate and in-depth comics in the form of authorized NFT. Deviate works can be free-minted as NFTs at 4C, and the subsequent transaction proceeds of these deviate NFTs will be shared with authorized NFT holders and creators. In addition, 4C mainly includes two parts: 4C CLUB and 4C DAO. The mission of 4C CLUB is to make every NFT have a good comic story and generate new transactions and value around these comic NFTs. The 4C DAO's mission is much more difficult, to help comic creators create great comic stories. We believe that Web3 will give birth to a new batch of world-class comic creators and comic stories, and Web3 should have a new ""Marvel"".

Do you have an awesome idea or strategy to combine different Dapps in order to maximize yields or capital efficiency? Introducing Daemons, a platform that allows anyone to become an advanced blockchain user. Daemons can help you create blockchain-related actions tied to certain conditions (called Scripts). You can choose a set of actions, related to everyone’s favorite Dapps, and tie them to a condition. Your request is stored and when the condition is satisfied, the script will be retrieved and executed in an “If this, then that” fashion. All this, in a non-custodial, decentralized manner. Does this look interesting to you? daemons.fi is a community based protocol and needs your help to make it! Why Daemons? Before Daemons, users with no coding experience could not automate custom actions and had to make do with pre-built actions provided by the various platforms they used. This presents a certain amount of friction between non-technical users of DeFi and smart contract functionality. Platforms and contracts are not flexible, like all pieces of sophisticated software. It requires time and know-how, to prepare, debug, audit, and test a variety of smart contracts in order to automate the simplest of actions. As such, Daemons was inspired. To remove the boundaries towards a decentralized and personalized finance management tool. Particularly, Daemons allows you to create personalized scripts to interact with your favorite DeFi platforms, in no time, with no programming knowledge, for free. DeFi should be enjoyed by everyone, not just software developers. Everyone should have the ability to create their own strategies and have them up and running instantly, without hassle or costs. Some basic examples possible: Perform a DCA, buying tokens every week. Take profit/stop loss whenever the price of an asset is greater than X. Exit from a high-risk LP pool, removing 10% of the liquidity every 5 hours. Swap some tokens each time your balance is greater than 0. Daemons gives multiple primitives that can be mixed and matched to create personalized scripts that can fit any need. How does it work? The execution flow always follows these steps: Current State Screenshots Thank you for reading!

Magpie Protocol is a cross-chain liquidity aggregator that enables seamless cross-chain swaps with near-instant finality and cost efficiency on many of the top blockchains, all without the need to bridge any assets, making for an extremely fast, secure, easy, and gas-efficient solution. Magpie Protocol incorporates a unique technical implementation that allows the execution of cross-chain swaps without the need for the user to bridge assets from any of the top bridges. This saves time and cost by reducing the complexity and security risks involved in using any of the bridging solutions to move assets across chains. Compared to other options in DeFi, when a user swaps using Magpie Protocol, they don’t need to go to the corresponding bridge, learn how to use it, spend a bunch of gas on transfers and time waiting, only to then have to go back to the DEX to make a swap. While in some ways similar to 0x, Paraswap, and 1inch, the advantage of Magpie Protocol comes in its user experience, security, ease-of-use, and speed, all while providing users with the best prices on tokens both within-chain and cross-chain. Our Vision: We’re shaping the future of how people interact with financial systems built on decentralized, fair, and universally accessible technology. Our Mission: To empower users of all levels by building a cross-chain infrastructure service that offers a simple, efficient, and secure way to trade, invest, and transact within DeFi.

For those who are fortunate enough to be able to save money in a bank, they won’t get more than 3% in annual return, on average.

An open-source project to educate, support, and bridge web3 for the renewable energy environment. Energy & Node is seeking a grant to fund our development of an open-source application for demand-side management, as well as the purchase of mining nodes to support energy and power-focused blockchains. Demand-side management, or demand-side response, is the modification of consumer demand for energy through various methods such as financial innovation incentives and behavioral change through education. Energy & Node will be influencing both. Our application, named Aware, will allow consumers and utility providers to share data in real-time. Allowing utility providers to make better predictions on the demand and supply of energy to the grid, and allow consumers to support the stability of the grid, while sharing and accessing that data with their neighbors. Users will get a simple mobile application, that encrypts their identity and data through decentralized IDs, and provides a modern and easy-to-navigate interface to receive notifications and submit data. You can watch the demo of our app from EthDenver here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jDaBwo8b-Q&t=2s&ab_channel=DoraHacks Additionally, Energy & Node will run mining nodes to support these blockchains as we seek to integrate as both a dApp and a partner in collaboration towards blockchain to support renewable energy: Energy Web Chain Powerledger Chain Celo Chain Chia Chain Topl Chain Watr Chain Cosmos Chain Algorand Chain GreenTrust Chain We are seeking funding for equipment purchase of machine hardware.

We offer Vaulting as a Service to DeFi and Blockchain projects as well as users in order to help them maximize their liquidity and earnings. Crystl Finance is listed on the Crypto.com DeFi Wallet app and we have partnered with multiple large partners including ApeSwap and Relay Chain to provide Vaults and build liquidity. We have released our own unique Vaulting and Yield Maximizing Strategies through our V3 Vaults and Ultra Farms which have been fully audited (link to audit: https://polycrystal.gitbook.io/polycrystal-finance/security/v3-vault-audit-by-hashex). With V3, we are able to stack multiple contracts on top of one another allowing for innovative and powerful yield maximization strategies. For example, we can create a strategy where you can stake USDC/USDT LPs and earn ETH/BTC that auto-compounds allowing users to DCA into blue-chip tokens without having to worry about impermanent loss. We are also able to streamline the user experience with our Zap Functionality which allows users to go from a single token to an LP deposited in the Vault in one transaction. We can also “Boost” our Vaults with additional rewards in order to build greater liquidity and attract new users. Our long-term vision of Crystl Cross-chain expansion and development comes in 3 phases (full presentation here https://www.beautiful.ai/player/-N2lG199RfAngm_3flmn/Crystl-Vision): Phase 1: Novel Yield Integration This comes in the form of our V3 Vaults and Ultra Farms which support and build DEXes and DeFi projects. Our novel code will give users numerous ways to invest as well as allow for smart contracts to be built on top of one another creating innovative chains for yield maximization and wealth management. Phase 2: Cross-Chain Strategy Crystl will expand to multiple new blockchains with marketing support, protocol introductions, strong grants & incentives, and aligned visions to ensure an effective launch. With our expansion, we incorporate our in-depth website analytics to create agile marketing dashboards to consistently improve and optimize the user journey and experience. Phase 3: Cross-Chain Smart Yield Aggregation Our final phase will introduce revolutionary new ways for users to seamlessly maximize their yields across multiple chains. Simplified User Flow - Users are able to deposit the tokens that they own, choose the earning token that they want, and select their risk tolerance to achieve the ultimate personalized strategy Off-chain Machine Learning and Graph Algorithms - Based on the selected criteria, an off-chain database uses ML and graph database algorithms to route the optimal path of yield aggregation across different chains and earning opportunities.

TLDR Buckets is a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) app that helps you pick crypto investments that fit your goals. It's all about setting goals, creating a plan, and investing accordingly in cryptocurrencies and DeFi. Having received initial funding from Aave (a reference in the space), our four-person team now requires additional financing to keep going. As part of our efforts, we will continue to integrate third-party protocols such as Aave, develop the saving games, and perform a complete security audit of our code base. All of this is thanks to your support. It's up to you what the next few months hold for Buckets! We need your contribution to shape our vision of creating better saving habits for everyone. Even the smallest contribution count thanks to Quadratic Funding! You're awesome! Thank you so much in advance! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mission Buckets makes it easy to invest with personal goals in mind. The mission is to democratize the web3 ecosystem and to promote a sound financial discipline powered by DeFi, in a fun way. There were three main motivations behind the creation of Buckets: 1) Benefiting from smart contracts and the blockchain technology permitting transparent and cheap financial transactions 2) Limiting investment risks, which are too often neglected when dealing with cryptocurrencies 3) Improving the experience for the end-user thanks to on-chain saving games The protocol The app has three modules: 1) Goal: helps you define your savings goals using an excellent framework 2) Investment: invest in the best projects and saving games that are suited to your goals 3) Tracking: a best-in-class portfolio monitoring tools On top of providing decentralization (no custody, protocol integration), Buckets introduces a measure of investment suitability to tackle the lack of risk measures in the cryptocurrency space. You can find more information with the following resources: Webiste: https://www.buckets.digital Medium: https://medium.com/@buckets Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/savewithbuckets A message from the founder DeFi can unlock limitless opportunities. Thanks to composability, protocols can combine as Legos to create new features. I am convinced that the biggest innovations remain to be seen, but what we're building with Buckets surely takes advantage of such disruptions made possible by blockchain technology. This led me to learn web development from scratch 2 years ago and to dedicate all my free time to this project ever since. As a result, I received funding from the Aave Grants DAO allowing me to finalize an initial version Buckets (Q3 2022). We are now 4 people working on the project and are continuously discussing the future of Buckets with our community on Discord. Further funding is necessary to finally shape our vision of a fun and interactive savings app. When it comes to Buckets, we're aiming for long-term goals, not short-term gains. Creating value for users will always stay on top of our minds!

We think this project will ignite the sharing of knowledge in smaller artist to improve and learn more from Music Production and Web3, where we face something that has never happened before: Latinamericans building digital infrastructure for Latinamericans through the globe. We like to think of this project as some of the beginnings of this format. Conclusion As already mentioned, this pilot is planned to last two weeks, but we hope to make more editions of this style in the following months, mainly because of the culture that exists around this concept. The main vision for the event is to expand our values and initiatives to a virtual scale and to give latin american artist an opportunity to promote themselves in a unique environment. We hope that our proposal is reviewed and accepted and we can make history together.

Qualities of Professional Professional Digital Dissertations It is crucial to seek Help from experts whenever you see a need to improve performance in your academics. Every individual should be confident with the helper they hire to manage whatever challenges occur. Below, we have some qualities that represent the features of an excellent online dissident editorial writer. When seeking to join an elective college, one has to pay attention to learning objectives. Maybe you want to boost your scores or achieve better grades by presenting world-class report papers to the supervisors. Now, who is a proficient teacher and lecturer? A degree show levels of educational qualifications. Great tutors will always evaluate students’ abilities. Be quick to select an individual whose focus is education and research. In that case, you are straight to the point. Another trait for an editor is the ability to communicate efficiently. Does that enable him to seamlessly navigate the entire paperwork? Can he convey instructions with confidence? If you are from a family, the language barrier will be lessening. As long as you have a good understanding of the locale, you’ll be comfortable working with colleagues from that culture. Every book that I edited in school has to pass strict tests. An editor knows the correct way of translating official materials. Besides, most of these resources have been published. So, it is vital to ensure that you have the knowledge of the recommended source to use.

Students apply to UDAO, if they’re admitted, they pay their tuition and in exchange they gain; 1. admission to their degree program and 2. their tuitions worth of University coins. When they graduate, if we can create a marketplace for liquidity, centralized or decentralized, students can sell their token on the market and go to school debt free. The goal is to end student debt by essentially making Universities investable assets for the first time ever through tokenomics. 🔗 Important links: Universitydao.xyz https://twitter.com/UniversityDAO_ Whitepaper: http://bit.ly/3tgha0R We're looking for grant funding right now in order to acquire legal counsel for incorporation. Upon incorporation, we're aiming to raise $50m in donations. 80% of 50 million would go towards the endowment we establish and be invested while the rest would go to degree program creation. Degree programs take a long time to create, in the beginning, the endowment returns will be the only source of income we have, so we've chosen to start with the UDAO endowment in order to build the University in perpetuity. Any grant funding not used towards legal counsel will go to the UDAO treasury where we will either allocate towards program development or the endowment. If you're deeply interested, read the whitepaper, it has everything from the political context we operate in, to the direct roadmap we have for the university as a whole. WHITEPAPER: ---------------------------Intro, Pre-Face, & Political context-------------------------- Since the late 11th century, Universities have been local, centralized, entities, operating as the arbiters of truth, knowledge, and education. In the traditional University system we have today, Boards, Trustees, Presidents, and Regents among others control most of the governance structures employed within the primary educating systems of our world, ultimately marginalizing the very people the Universities serve in the first place, the Students. Sure, most Universities hold student body senates that influence the governance of universities, but in most cases, student bodies usually lack any form of formal authority to really make a difference on the Universities policies and initiatives. On the other hand, student debt has reached $1.75 trillion in the US alone. The world needs an answer, our nation needs an answer, and our children, the ones who will bear the brunt of our failures, deserve to live in a world where education is accessible to all. Our education system has failed us, Universities and the general public expect the government to subsidize our higher education, yet, the very educational institutions themselves have done little to quell the true reason our debt rate has hiked, that is, that the tuition rates our Universities set for entrance to their institutions have increased over 100% in the past 20 years. No amount of government spending can bandage a hole in the wall that keeps growing. But even then, sympathy must be administered to our failed institutions, for the hard problem they face, is that quality of education is directly proportional to the amount of money an educational system has to teach. In some ways we can’t blame Universities for charging more if it helps them provide a better education in the end. So, as a result of the inherent hard problem of education, the government cannot physically solve the issue of student debt alone. In this frame, it is our belief that Universities themselves not only must do more to bring down the student debt ratio, but the US government must empower universities to solve the student debt issue themselves, through the creation, amendment, and reformation of legislation that is in favor of innovative approaches for educational institutions to do so. Throughout the rest of this paper, we will present a novel approach for a higher educational system that unites the government and its educational institutions, together, with its financial markets, through the creation of UniversityDAO, a tokenized University that aims to end student debt and empower our nation's scholars to truly own their University. With that being said, UniversityDAO is still largely in concept. Much of what is presented in this paper is subject to change and comes with its risks, assumptions, and flat out flaws. We hope that the readers of this document will come together to not only critique and absolutely bash the approach we’ve crafted, but to come together in order to form a more perfect University system that solves the hardest problems of education we face today. ----------------------------Continued in whitepaper--------------------------- ",2022-07-06T18:54:49.409-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 6894,False,False,0x1ED3b0ebEd4b5e32E5c0fc47779794eF1eA7A615,PoorNerd,https://gitcoin.co/grants/6894/poornerd,"open source nftnerds.ai alternative, use opensea websocket api to retrieve real time trading and listing data, and visualize the data ",2022-07-06T22:35:29.459-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 6895,False,False,0x0,DeKnow ID - Web3 Native LinkedIn for Scholars and Science,https://gitcoin.co/grants/6895/deknow-id-web3-native-linkedin-for-scholars-and-s,"What is DeKnow ID In short term, DeKnow ID = decentralized Google Scholar + DBLP, data fully in user’s control.

Problems Statement As a student, professor, scholar, scientist… I don’t have a way to show my academic reputation to the academic community and future employers. I don’t have a way to be recommended with great prospective students DeKnow Solution Proposal DeKnow will first create a permissionless, non-custodial web3 identity for scholars and science. With the success of which, we will help community build an collboration web3 ecosystem powered by DAO, connecting scholars, students, enterprise in research activities and day to day life. DeKnow ID We will have two parts to the project: On-Chain Smart Contracts as interface and protocol to hold Scholar and Paper, and webapp to serve as scholar personal portal. Bootstrapping Seeding Profiles and Papers Public records will be retained via Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic Graph to construct initial scholar profile and paper citation references. Going forward, users will be incentivized to add more and more accurate references in DeKnow ID platform directly. Collect Real Person Resume Resumes are the most accurate and update to date for academic students and scholars, much more than industrial. The project will focus on having scholar to submit resume to mint scholar profile NFT. A.I. for matching Student - Professor With accurate information, DeKnow ID platform can match and recommend students and professors accurately. On-Chain Smart Contracts Both Scholar and Paper will start as current NFT ERC721. Both are transferable with specific considerations for Papers. Scholar NFT will hold relationships with papers, relationships with other scholars, scholar reputations. Paper NFT will create a new protocol for co-owned NFT, hopefully later contribute back to Ethereum foundation community. With research paper nature, a paper will be co-owned by co-authors, contributions distributed, decisions to be made by having full or partial consensus betwen co-authors. It functions as a “mini-DAO” on the paper level. Off-Chain Webapp as scholar3.me The webapp serve as a personal portal for scholar to show, view, manager owned Scholar NFT and Paper NFT.

On-chain quotation will also make the NFT valuation more reliable.        Nawarat will introduce a list of reference valuations, incorporating more AI models or other valuation references to construct a real-time dynamic valuation range. In the reference valuation, strangers will have a tacit understanding of the model knowledge and historical performance of the valuation model, forming an implicit Schelling point, which is actually also an implicit valuation range. In other words, it is the same as constructing a real-time dynamic evaluation range for each NFT, and users can generate the final effective price through group bidding, forming a highly accurate NFT valuation. Nawarat will give different reference valuations to meet the reference needs of different users, and display them on the valuation decision page in the form of a series of reference prices in the end. The list of reference prices will help us establish a range to find the Schelling point. The reference price deviation curve will help users to formulate a more accurate pricing range and thereby, finding the Schelling point from within. The final valuation of each round is then confirmed through group game based on the more precise pricing range of different users. Tacit understanding between strangers. Referring to the historical“ performance curve, there may be an implicit Schelling Point, supposed 69.49ETH, which is a rough appraisal generated by models. Taking the implicit Schelling point as the reference valuation, a tacit bidding interval [63.20, 72.22] is naturally established, and ultimately the user will generate a more accurate valuation within this interval through group game.  As shown in the demonstration below: Each line with different colors（△P1，△P2……△P8）, represent the difference in reference price and each round’s final price under different models, the lines forming the reference price deviation curve, the closer the line is to x-axis then the smaller the gap is between reference price and final price, the closer it is to the final price. For instance, when a user bids on the next round of NFT valuation, △P8,69.49ETH can be confirmed to be the next implicit Schelling point having referenced the below reference price deviation curve, the tacit bidding interval between users is [63.20, 72.22]. The reference price deviation curve can greatly benefit users in finding the Schelling point, and can immensely improve the efficiency and the accuracy of valuation.      The theoretical basis of Schelling point defines the valuation range, and the normal distribution will find the precise valuation amidst the range, confirming the most accurate NFT valuation.  In the valuation of NFT, we can delineate the valuation and reference range of NFT through the theoretical basis of the Schelling point. When a group bids on a NFT with a reference valuation range, and if the resulting valuation data present to be a normal distribution spread, then Nawarat believes that this outcome is an effective valuation with a precise valuation result screened by normal distribution.     Currently, there are various AI valuation models widespread in the market, they are mostly NFT valuations based on various historical prices, which is very general and vague, involving no subjective judgment of NFT users, making the resulting valuation meaningless. Nawarat respects all of the factors, ranging from historical prices to group consensus, finding the ultimate precise valuation through the three-layer screening of AI model, implicit Schelling point and normal distribution.  By introducing a list of reference prices, Nawarat establishes a range for finding Schelling points, helping users to find Schelling points with the help of the constructed valuation deviation curve, which formulates a more precise valuation range for users. The final and precise valuation of each round will be then confirmed through group game, further verified through normal distribution. Meanwhile, decentralization makes the valuation more reliable, resolving the trust issue associated with the AI pricing black box.

Iris is a Decentralized Terrestrial Satellite Oracle Network (DtsON) - the first of its kind. An oracle network’s function is to guarantee the delivery of honest and up-to-date real-world data from a pool of participating data reporters or nodes. Each node submits what it attests is their honest observation of the data point or state the network is trying to provide. Only through the consensus mechanism and committee mechanics of oracle networks are we able to find accurate values for the prices of cryptocurrencies on decentralized exchanges for example. For Iris however, instead of comparing single valued numerical data, Iris’ nodes will compare satellite imagery and determine the image closest in similarity to the super majority (or 66%) of all the other images. We refer to the image chosen by the committee as the Average Scenario. The Average Scenario represents the most likely state one would find the AoI around the time requested. With this system in place, dApp developers can for the first time trust that the information they eventually find in the image is representative of reality. extract data from the satellite imagery and Once dApp developers understand they can use Iris to extract information, they will have to create their own DONs to extract and verify the information. Doing so would allow dApps to perform permissionless computations that run only upon the behest of the user.  The idea of chaining a base DON with a Data Distilling DON or ddDON and then connecting the ddDON to a dApp executed on an EVM-like chain will allow users and dApp developers to trust the honest and faithful execution of each step in the product stack. The guarantee of honest fulfillment of financial contracts between people has never been greater than with blockchain technology and bringing oracle technology to geospatial data will extend this to new dApps. Aside from reinventing the carbon credit/asset market, Iris can be used to extract information for other kinds of dApps. For example, one could build a natural disaster insurance and/or crop insurance application on top of Iris by extracting information that would change the state of the dApps smart contracts and trigger a pay out. Another way to use satellite imagery is to attach imagery of homes and property to on-chain property claims.  ",2022-07-11T22:44:14.723-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 6911,False,False,0x14DE893ACeA7e8929EbfB0Ea55865DEc826903FC,Bech: Platform for startups and investors in developing countries,https://gitcoin.co/grants/6911/bech-platform-for-startups-and-investors-in-devel,"The Bech Blockchain achieved a throughput of 296k tps during testing. Ongoing optimizations will likely push it towards a minimum of 400k - 500k tps with 650k tps being the current target for this testing phase. The platform comes with an inbuilt stock/asset exchange that processes stock trades at a lightening speed and at the same time provides maximum security with its full proof consensus mechanism. This on-chain exchange cuts out market makers who mostly act as middlemen on many CEXs and DEXs. Cutting out the middlemen gives the platform the ability to process trades with absolutely zero transaction fees. Cryptocurrency blockchains have been widely adopted and accepted by a huge number of retail investors and some institutional investors and as a result have seen a surge in its usage and value over the past few years. Meanwhile, there is a large portion of influential institutional investors who still remain skeptic of the value, use and importance of cryptocurrencies to the finance industry and economies as a whole. Despite their popularity, cryptocurrencies and blockchains have failed to fully permeate the finance sector due to a lack of trust in these new technologies. Institutional investors like Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger are the biggest skeptics of cryptocurrencies. They cite the lack of real world value backing of cryptos as their biggest reason for staying away from big cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana etc. These investors are used to investing in assets that have real world backing like stocks, as these are valued by the company’s efficiency in providing their services and many other factors. Meanwhile, the value of cryptocurrencies is simply based on supply and demand which makes it purely speculative and unpredictable. This tends to keep many influential investors and some retail investors away from potentially investing in the cryptocurrency market. Startups and small companies in developing countries and in some cases developed countries in most instances find it difficult to raise funds. A very high percentage of startup funding is totally concentrated in many centralized and bureaucratic institutions making access to these funds hectic and difficult for many of these startups. Some of these startups are located in countries affected by sanctions which makes accessing the more developed world for funds to develop and grow their ideas problematic. Currently, there isn’t many reliable well developed decentralized platform or blockchain to help these small companies raise funds. Bech blockchain’s design specifically tackles these problems. Bech is a platform built specifically for stocks trading in its unit stablecoin Bece. These stocks issued by startup companies are backed by the services and value of these companies. Investors can then buy packs of startups or companies they trust and these startups get to raise money to fund their projects. This will help bring more influential institutional investors into blockchain technology by providing a fast and secure decentralized blockchain platform for investing in startups and companies across the globe. As more of these investors come to trust the Bech blockchain, the adoption of many forms of blockchain technology will increase in the finance industries and all other sectors.

Africa is the second-most-populous continent in the world, with around 1.3 billion people. Due to historic issues with colonialism, civil wars, and harsh terrains, African countries have suffered from infrastructure problems for a long time.

Most likely you would pay month by month to see how it goes and decrease your risks. So why is it not the same with VC funding where a startup gets awarded large funding round with a high probability they won’t make it and the investor loses it all? The crypto company investing model is broken- riddled with the process and capital inefficiency and risk. Investor-founder collaboration is not systematic and characterized by inefficient capital and milestone management, and inexperienced founders learning to scale. milestoneBased is the first company to leverage a blockchain DAO and escrow smart contracts in an automated governance and funding collaboration platform. Early-stage investors use our platform for capital efficiency, to eliminate risk, improve transparency, and get more data-driven insights for a faster path to monetization of deployed funds. Startup teams are motivated and synchronized with investor expectations and more focused on the right KPIs for strengthened performance. Started in 2018 by a team of blockchain and startup industry veterans, milestoneBased enables any early-stage startup to list company roadmap milestone goals, and connect and collaborate with crypto VC and Angel investors on the platform to provide funding. Funding decisions and governance are voted on as part of the DAO and funds are securely held in an escrow smart contract till milestones are verified and voted complete. The platform also offers a host of startup education tools and will introduce the tools for AI and performance analysis for investors.   We are developing a full-circle web3 platform where startups can be connected to investors and raise their funding and manage the roadmap efficiently. At the same time, investors can find their perfect portfolio fit, help the project as a value add-investor, and accelerate the path to their desired ROI.  MilestoneBased as a solution is going to impact the whole crypto ecosystem influencing mass adoption by raising a level of trust to motivate teams as well as bring more investment players to the crypto company ecosystem, leaving such concepts as scam projects and fraud in the past.  Our advantages: Pipeline and portfolio management system for investors Deal flow sharing module Startup KYCs and ranking systems in future The Roadmap library and memos feature as a knowledge-sharing hub for the community. We operate on BSC which gives us higher TPS and at the same time our architecture allows us to adopt other chains in the future.

An ETH-XMR atomic swap will allow for users to, in a trustless and completely decentralized manner, exchange Ether for Monero. This connects the leading smart contract blockchain (and the home of defi) with the leading privacy-preserving blockchain. Along with the BTC-XMR atomic swaps, this will allow for completely decentralized cross-chain exchanges to be built that allow for XMR swaps. The project currently has a functional prototype that has been deployed onto testnets. This grant is for continued development work, including usability and privacy enhancements. Previous work Previously, I completed an MVP implemenetation of the ETH-XMR atomic swap, deployed it to stagenet on 9 different servers, and extensively tested it. There is now an alpha release of ETH-XMR atomic swaps with the following functionality: - `swapd` program which executes atomic swaps; includes:    - network layer which allows for peers to make offers and discover and take offers    - RPC server which allows users to interact with the daemon (eg. make/take offers, get current swaps, cancel swaps)    - protocol implementation of the atomic swap including all refund paths - `swapcli` program which implements a CLI for users to interact with the daemon and easily make/take offers - `swaprecover` program which allows for funds to be recovered in case of a crash - `ui`: a self-hosted UI for the swap that displays current offers on the network and allows users to take offers using their MetaMask wallet. Proposed work I would like to continue work on the ETH-XMR atomic swap implementation by adding improvements for usability and privacy, as well as general codebase maintainence. This proposal includes the following development work: 1. Relayer support The current implementation of the protocol requires the ETH-recipient to have some ETH in their claiming account to pay for the transaction fees to claim the swap ETH. However, this is bad for UX and privacy, as users cannot withdraw to fresh ETH accounts. To allow for users to claim ETH into a fresh account, integration with a relayer service can be implemented. This will allow users to withdraw to a fresh account by paying a small fee to a relayer to submit the transaction on their behalf. 2. ERC20 support To support swaps for ERC20s without hurting liquidity, the swap contract can be integrated with a DEX such as Uniswap to automatically swap received ETH for the desired ERC20 token. 3. Disk permanence The current implementation of the swap does not store anything to disk apart from information needed for recovery of swap funds in case of failure. However, there are other components that should be stored to disk and restored upon reload, such as current swap offers made, historic swap information, and peer information. This will require a simple key-value database implementation. 4. General maintainence and bugfixes See https://github.com/AthanorLabs/atomic-swap/issues for open issues on the repo. Issues not covered by the above work are part of this section. This includes RPC calls and documentation, codebase maintainence, testing, and fixes of any bugs found during testing.",2022-07-14T11:50:59.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 6932,True,True,0x2178E542B4AD0Ba5Ab9cb804Bd763B58dab4481C,Eclectica,https://gitcoin.co/grants/6932/eclectica,"{""ops"":[{""insert"":""Inspiration ✨""},{""attributes"":{""header"":1},""insert"":""\n""},{""insert"":""\nMaking metaverse accessible to everyone !\n\n""},{""insert"":{""video"":""https://www.youtube.com/embed/hCR0V4c4dEE?showinfo=0""}},{""insert"":""\n\nCurrent metaverse platforms have following limitation:\n\nEntry-Barrier:""},{""attributes"":{""header"":3},""insert"":""\n""},{""insert"":""\nEntry cost is prohibitively expensive in current metaverse platforms.Even for hosting events you have to rent or buy land.\n\n\nInvite-Only Events:""},{""attributes"":{""header"":3},""insert"":""\n""},{""insert"":""\nCurrent metaverses do not allow users to host invite-only events as a result use-cases of metaverse drop significantly.\n\nFast On Chain Payment:""},{""attributes"":{""header"":3},""insert"":""\n""},{""insert"":""\nWe used Polygon to accomplish this.\n\n\nUsability ☘️""},{""attributes"":{""header"":1},""insert"":""\n""},{""insert"":""\nFor Mass Adoption we think it's essential to make a product that is truly decentralize as well as cost effecient.

They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as shipping or storing products. Because they are made to order, they can be customized in a number of ways to fit the specific needs of the customer. This makes them a popular choice for businesses that want to ship products that are delicate or need to be stored in a specific way. What Is Rigid Packaging Material? The rigid packaging material is technically known as the rigid paperboard packaging material. This material is made from a combination of various paperboard that is recycled. However, the manufacturer might choose to use virgin fibers to increase the strength of the material. A number of chemicals and other materials might be used in order to make the paperboard more durable.  This material is exceptionally sturdy, making it ideal for storing and shipping a variety of products. It can be used for everything from food packaging to cosmetics packaging. The material is also recyclable, making it a more environmentally friendly option than other types of packaging materials. However, that is not all. One of the best features of rigid paperboard material is its incredibly smooth surface. That allows businesses to print high-quality images and graphics on the material. This is one of the reasons that it has become such a popular choice for packaging. What Are The Benefits Of Using Custom Rigid Boxes? There are a number of benefits to using custom rigid boxes for packaging.  Custom rigid box packaging can be made to fit the specific needs of the product. That includes the size, shape, and even color of the box.  This type of packaging can also be printed with high-quality graphics. That makes it possible to include branding or other marketing information on the box.  Another benefit of using this type of packaging is that it is exceptionally sturdy. That means that the product inside is less likely to be damaged during shipping or storage. Rigid boxes can be easily stacked on top of each other, aiding in storage and transportation.  This type of box is also easy to open and close, which is convenient for the customer.  They are available in various styles. Foldable rigid boxes are one of the most popular styles. These boxes can be shipped flat, which saves on shipping costs.  Custom rigid box packaging is an exceptional way to package products for a variety of reasons. If you are looking for high-quality, durable packaging that can be customized to meet the needs of your product, then rigid boxes are an excellent option. What Are The Different Types Of Rigid Boxes? There are a number of different types of rigid boxes that are available on the market.  Foldable Rigid Boxes The most common type is the folding box. These boxes are shipped flat, which saves on shipping costs. They are easy to assemble and can be customized to meet the needs of the product.  Rigid boxes wholesale manufacturers make these boxes with special creases that make them easy to fold.  Sliding Lid Rigid Boxes Another popular type of rigid box is the sliding lid box. These boxes have a lid that slides open, making it easy to access the product inside.  They are often used for packaging products that need to be accessed frequently, such as food or cosmetics.  Hinged Lid Rigid Boxes Hinged lid boxes are similar to sliding lid boxes, but the lid is attached to the box with hinges. This makes them more durable and less likely to open accidentally.  They are often used for packaging products that are delicate or need to be stored in a specific way. One Piece Rigid Boxes One-piece boxes are made from one piece of paperboard. They are often used for packaging small products, such as jewelry.  Two Piece Rigid Boxes Two-piece boxes are made from two pieces of paperboard that are glued together. They are often used for packaging larger products, such as clothes or electronics.  Magnetic Closure Rigid Boxes Magnetic closure boxes have a lid that is held closed with magnets. They are often used for packaging products that need to be shipped securely, such as food or cosmetics.  What Are The Different Types Of Printing? There are a number of different types of printing that can be used on rigid boxes.  Offset Printing Offset printing is a type of printing that uses plates to transfer the image onto the paperboard. It is a popular choice for packaging because it produces high-quality images.  Digital Printing Digital printing is a type of printing that uses digital technology to print the image directly onto the paperboard. It is a popular choice for packaging because it is less expensive than offset printing.  Custom printed rigid boxes are one of the best ways to package products. They are durable, easy to use, and can be customized to meet the needs of the product.  If you are looking for high-quality, custom packaging, then rigid boxes are an excellent option. Add-Ons And Finishing Coats For Custom Rigid Boxes Rigid boxes can be customized with a variety of add-ons and finishing coats.  Add-Ons Add-Ons are extra features that can be added to the box to make it more durable or convenient.  Foil Stamping Foil stamping is a process that uses heat and pressure to apply foil to the surface of the box. This is a popular choice for packaging because it adds a luxurious look to the box. Embossing And Debossing Embossing and debossing are processes that use heat and pressure to create raised or lowered designs on the surface of the box. This is a popular choice for packaging because it adds texture and dimension to the box. Window Patching Window patching is a process that adds a clear window to the box. This is a popular choice for packaging because it allows the customer to see the product inside.  Finishing Coats Finishing coats are applied to the surface of the box to protect it from damage.  UV Coating UV coating is a clear coating that is applied to the surface of the box. This coating protects the box from UV rays, making it less likely to fade or discolor over time.  Aqueous Coating Aqueous coating is a clear coating that is applied to the surface of the box. This coating protects the box from water, making it less likely to warp or swell over time.  Matte Finishing Coat A matte finishing coat is applied to the box to give it a non-glare finish. This is a popular choice for packaging because it makes the images on the box more visible. Glossy Finishing Coat A glossy finishing coat is applied to the box to give it a shiny finish. This is a popular choice for packaging because it makes the colors on the box more vibrant. Soft Touch Finishing Coat A soft touch finishing coat is applied to the box to give it a velvety finish. This is a popular choice for packaging because it makes the box more luxurious.  Conclusion We can sum up everything we have learned about custom rigid boxes so far by saying that they are made out of strong paperboard, they can have a variety of different closures, and they can be printed using a number of different printing methods. Custom printed rigid boxes can also be customized with a variety of add-ons and finishing coats. If you are looking for high-quality, custom packaging, then rigid boxes are an excellent option.

At the highest view, it aims to help web developers to protect the privacy of web users. The main problem OZKi is trying to mitigate is the ubiquitous PII leak problems. OZKi has two main components: the OZKi Toolkit and OZKi Oracle service, which together provide a secure end-to-end proving system. OZKi is based on the Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP), which is used primarily in the blockchains and Web3 ecosystems. However, OZKi is specifically designed to help Web2 developers to implement privacy-protecting software components with minimal effort and without requiring the need to use a blockchain. In addition to lowering the bar to access the ZKP technologies, the OZKi framework also brings in real-world external data through the oracle, securely protects the input to proving function, and mitigates the proof replay attacks. OZKi toolkit defines the ProofGenerator and the ProofVerifier typescript classes that webapp developers can use to generate a zk-snark proof on the client running in a browser or nodejs, and to verify the proof on the service side. OZKi enables the concept of ID-less server design in which the traditional sign-in process is replaced with proof-based authorization flows such that the server does not use or store any PII on its end. The OZKi BOT demo app shows how one can implement proof-based authorization flows such as Proof-of-Payment with PayPal and Proof-of-Login with Google. With the proof of payment flow, the server can reliably verify if the user is a paid customer without knowing anything about the user. With the proof of login flow, the server can determine if the user's email login matches a particular domain without knowing the email address itself. In both scenarios, the user's PII is never sent to the server and is thus wholly protected. OZKi uses Polygon Iden3's circom language and compiler toolsets for writing the proof functions.

DAO is a new type of management that was born for governance. As the most in line with the spirit of blockchain governance, DAO must have its place in the blockchain ecological map, and is an indispensable and important piece of the puzzle.

Cityflysky will provide an easy-to-use DAO creation tool that requires minimal gas and a few minutes to fill in the data to create a DAO. Different DAOs will provide a one-of-a-kind city NFT . Our Vision Voluntary commitment Since the name of DAO is ""Autonomous Decentralization"", there is no specific authority. In the ""company"", the ""CEO"" makes decisions and gives instructions to the ""employees"". In ""DAO"", there is no ""CEO"" in the first place. Of course, there is no concept of ""employee"" either. In DAOs, the pyramid structure is basically negated. The premise of working at DAO is that ""everyone actively demonstrates his/her special abilities and contributes to the project"". You are always a ""proposer"" and a ""contributor"", and the DAO needs your advice and contributions. It can be said that in order to work in DAO, your project and your interests need to have a high degree of fit. Your contribution is maximized when ""what you can/want to do"" and ""what the DAO should do"" overlap. If you work for a DAO, no one will give you directions. If you can contribute a lot, you will be recognized as a ""core contributor"" and will be rewarded and honored. Regardless of age, gender or nationality, pay for performance and participate anonymously In the past, when working at a company, it was necessary to verify the identity of a person, but at DAOs, this common sense is outdated. When you work for the DAO, you are not required to provide more personal information than is necessary. Because DAOs are anonymous, they are also paid per contribution. Regardless of your age, gender or nationality, what matters is your contribution to the DAO. Prehistoric worker spirits, such as ""work earlier than others, show loyalty"" and ""be loyal to your boss"" are completely a thing of the past. Welcome to a flat, pay-for-performance society.

You can choose to print your company logo or any other information on the box. Or, you can use images from an online store and create a cereal box design around them. The possibilities are endless! Let us explore some options and ways to create a cereal box custom for your business. A few of these options include full color printing and die-cut window boxes. Feature Your Logo and Business Name on Custom Cereal Boxes Custom cereal boxes from USboxprinter.com are an excellent way to package and promote your products. They make your product look appealing and different from the rest. The boxes are also very sturdy, so they will keep the product safe. Custom Die Cut Cereal Boxes can be made of a variety of materials, including cardboard or Kraft. The boxes can be custom-designed to fit your needs, including the size, shape, and design.

Add Spot UV to Cereal Packaging Boxes for a Better Look and Durability If you need more space, consider designing a windowed box. This type of custom cereal box will keep the product safe from dirt and moisture, and it will also protect the contents inside from damage. Die-cut window boxes are often laminated and can resist external damages. You can also add spot UV to cereal packaging boxes for a better look and durability.

With increased competition, more brands have come out with new varieties and share shelf space with each other in retail stores. To stand out from the crowd, brands must come up with innovative strategies to differentiate their products from others. Wholesale cereal boxes are an effective way to do this. Consider Using Glossy Or Foil-Coated Cardboard for Your Cereal Boxes Packaging If you're looking for a custom cereal box, you should consider using glossy or foil-coated cardboard. Adding a glossy coating can make your product stand out on retail shelves, while a doughnut truck-style box makes it easier for regular customers to recognize your products. Spot-UV is an excellent add-on for small cereal boxes that is not only attractive but protects them from wear and tear. The first thing to remember about cereal boxes packaging is that they can represent your product in a sea of similar items. It's important to stand out in a sea of cereals and other similar products to catch the eye of your target audience. This is where cereal box custom printing comes in handy. It's a great way to advertise your brand while avoiding common mistakes that others make with packaging. We'll help you create a unique, eye-catching package that will stand out from the crowd!

Choose designs that make your box stand out and attract a large audience. Whether it's a colorful box, a classic box, or a unique box with different themes and textures, you can increase sales by incorporating custom-designed packaging. You can use full-color digital or offset printing to customize your own cereal box. You can use complex artwork and a high-quality stock to attract your target market.

The vision is to help manage the crowded orbits & space debris problem and the effect of climate change on it by creating data curation & risk pricing markets of active (and eventually passive) space assets. The project’s aim is to be a bridge to create a space debris market (similar to carbon offsets markets), eventually governed by the WatchtowerDAO. The first product using Watchtower will be insurance - addressing the problem of illiquidity in the in-orbit space insurance market which has seen underwriters leave the sector since 2020. 💡 About Problem At Watchtower we’re aiming to build a regenerative space economic web3 primitive to bring verified reputation for space assets and help manage the problem of human made space debris spanning since the 1950s & crowded orbits for the coming mega-constellations. We’re starting this by building open-source infrastructure to eventually build sustainability focused financial products and enabling the creation of sustainability first space projects. While there are attempts (SDA, Space Sustainability Index, etc.), these aren’t open-source alternatives but rather permissioned. The closest that has come to this, is TinyGS and the Libre Space Foundation with some success with their SatNOGS project. Why Now The rise of space launches by Starlink, Keiper, OneWeb and other mega-constellations lead us to over 100,000 satellites in the next five years if not earlier. This creates crowded orbital corridors where satellites we use everyday (location-based services to studying climate science) are in danger of colliding. This can be equivalent to if not worse than the garbage patch problem in the Pacific Ocean. In addition to this, the rise in CO2 emissions due to climate change, creates conditions for satellites to “skate on ice” (reduced drag). This CO2 can exacerbate the snowballing effect known as Kessler Syndrome. The rise in geopolitical tensions between the United States, Russia and China have made space a warfighting domain again like the 1950s with increased anti-satellite missile tests (ASAT) creating more junk/debris in our orbital corridors. 🏗️ What Is Being Built We’re starting with a globally distributed ground network (DGSN) of tracking nodes on Helium with a proof-of-tracking approach to determining a satellite’s state. This enables us to build Laika, a data aggregator marketplace (NFT marketplace aggregator) at its base. Each tracking node hosts its own NFT marketplace providing access to API-endpoints represented as tracking data NFTs.  Vision Going Forward On top of this, are two layers - a data curation and a risk pricing layer (competitive skin-in-the-game crowdsourcing of data curation and risk pricing). The curation layer solves the underlying problem in space debris - data quality of state estimation - by crowdsourcing data fusion techniques to a global team of data engineers/curators. The risk pricing layer solves the next problem - risk of collision- by crowdsourcing probability of collision calculation techniques to a global team of data scientists. These are currently napkin designs & associated mechanisms. These legos enable us to create reputation profiles for individual space assets that can be used in a myriad of financial applications such as in-orbit insurance as one example. It both enables sustainable products in the present but also enables sustainable ecosystems going forward to the future. The aim is to drive capital to environmentally-positive projects by unlocking space debris as an asset class and building block within web3 ☄️🌱. Watchtower started out as a risk-pricing marketplace to address inaccuracy in pricing risk of collisions but has gone through multiple pivots after stakeholder interviews, to address not only that but the underlying issue of data quality. The Watchtower stack comprises of: Laika: Its purpose is to create a 3-sided data market (consumers, publishers & market makers) to bring efficient pricing via a free markets approach. Tracking nodes publish data to Laika. The curation layer crowd sources data fusion techniques of tracking data. This layer helps ensure data quality of satellite state estimation. Dora: a risk pricing layer with the sole purpose of calculating the probability of collision (Pc) metric for space assets. Dora’s purpose is to crowdsource composable risk models.  Watchtower Libraries: Outputs from Laika and Dora help build sustainability focused reputation profiles for individual space assets. Merging these outputs with the data from the spacecraft registry (the Registration Convention) help us create a complete near real-time profile for individual space assets that can access web3 products. This may include but not limited to: Verifiable location credentials, ensuring quality state estimates. Verifiable mutable and composable (both current & historical data) risk models, so data is user-controlled, cryptographically secure, censorship-resistant. Verifiable reputation registries - smart-contract based registries of space object data which include ownership, Pc, state and more. 🌄Current State At its current state, Watchtower is sourcing advice from ground station & radar technicians to perform a feasibility on cost, sourcing & logistics with the end goal of building a minimal prototype of a tracking node integrated with a NFT marketplace on top of helium. Our EOY goal includes building this prototype. After which a redeemable NFT program will be launched to purchase and its proceeds fund the mining program, for the nodes. More Depth?

Therefore, it might lead to many inconveniences for the users such as funds being transferred to the wrong address. In contrast, traditional payment is usually based on human-readable identifiers (HRI) instead of random strings, and this is for a good reason. For instance, when you pay your debts to your friends, you want the transaction record to be bound to your identity so that it can serve as proof later that your debt has been paid.  The existing HRI solutions such as ENS usually focus on one specific blockchain ecosystem and fails to incorporate many existing Web 2.0 human-readable identifiers that users are more comfortable using in practice, such as their mobile phone numbers, various social media accounts, email addresses (based on which PayPal systems are built), etc. We believe it is far more interesting to build a cross-platform payment scheme based on a generic HRI system that combines the users' existing Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 identifiers. A cross-platform payment scheme based on a generic HRI system will not only serve the purpose of bringing Web 2.0 users into the Web 3.0 world but also taps into this immense market and helps realize the full potential of Web 3.0. Another limit of existing HRI-based payment solutions is the lack of privacy. This is actually closely tied to another interesting application of Faceless protocol, i.e., regulatory-compliant payment. Due to the explosive growth of Web 3.0 payment and its applications such as DeFi, NFT, etc, traditional financial institution is starting to migrate to Web 3.0. However, in order for the Cryptocurrency market to attract institutional money on a large scale, one has to address its regulatory concerns. The privacy issue is likely to play a central part in the regulatory compliance requirements. Faceless will provide a private payment scheme based on HRI and hence resolve the privacy issue.  Our protocol will become a fierce competitor in the sphere of regulatory-compliant payment. In the Web 3.0 world, the HRIs will serve as the basis of regulatory-compliant finance. Faceless satisfies two vital requirements of regulatory compliance: 1. HRI will serve as the basis of regulatory compliance, 2. Our payment solution will be private, which addresses a central issue in any regulatory-compliance requirement. One's HRIs such as mobile numbers or social media accounts can serve as the foundation to implement various regulation-compliant operations such as anti-money laundering. More sophisticated applications such as trusted decentralized finance (DeFi) can also be built on top of our system. For instance, one could build a credit system or lending and borrowing system based on one's HRIs. Our scheme is based on a combination of identity-based encryption (IBE) and zero-knowledge proof. Identity-based encryption scheme will allow the users to encrypt the payment under the receiver’s identity instead of random blockchain addresses, and it will also allow the users to manage their multiple HRIs with one single master key, which is a significant usability advantage. Our architecture will introduce a mechanism, which is based on randomized signature, to verify the authenticity of the user identity while protecting the users’ privacy. The verifiable identity will therefore serve as a foundation of regulatory-compliant payment. On the other hand, we will apply the zero-knowledge proof and IBE scheme to protect the users’ financial privacy. We will provide an open-source library to demonstrate the feasibility of our concrete design.  The final product of Faceless protocol will be a layer-2 protocol, which can be deployed on smart contract platforms such as Ethereum. We will potentially introduce a zk-rollup scheme to further improve the scalability of our payment scheme. Our rollup scheme will mainly focus on resolving the conflict between the scalability issue and regulatory compliance requirements.  This project has been supported by Web 3.0 grant: https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/blob/618be8639cc91cfaf779f470444e8c271221030e/docs/accepted_grant_applications.md, and we have already delivered milestone 1: https://github.com/HeisenbergLin22/Grant-Milestone-Delivery/blob/patch-1/deliveries/faceless_milestone1_delivery.md and got accepted by the grant.

Because we need to move away from a human-centric economy where resources are used in favor of humans, to a planetary-centric economy that is regenerative by incorporating all stakeholders, human and non-human. Our project Plantiverse started out with an exploration of rights for plants, by giving them autonomy. Building on the Rights of Nature movement's gains of independent legal standing for forests and species, we wanted to see if we could get operational, financial, and maybe even civil rights for non-human living beings. We gave Herbie (a herb houseplant) a form of their own autonomy, letting them make certain decisions on their own.  Sensors measure Herbie's light, soil moisture, water reservoir, humidity and temperature; which are linked to decisions about mobility; so that Herbie, when in need of water or light, will go to the water source / light source.    As Herbie gained decision making power over mobility, we asked ourselves, can non-human beings have economic power?  What if Herbie could deliver and sell their own herbs and leaves to people?  And if Herbie can sell and “earn” money, could Herbie have a bank account?  Could Herbie own things, vote, or even have planetary citizenship?   But how would that manifest in the real world?  So we went to work with Herbie, in fact we enabled a family of plants, Minty, Ivy, Ginger and other plants, with sensors.  These sensors, in turn, give readings that are then paired with a particular output of an image,  Leave colors, for example, indicate water level, …. The rendering, then, becomes a visualization of physiological status of the plant itself, essentially a digital twin, or avatar, of the plant in real life. These visualizations, then were minted in the carbon neutral Solana chain and sold as NFTs or NFTrees.  The funds raised via the sales will be directed to sustainable causes.   For millennia, humans have dominated the earth, and dominated species, “domesticating” plants and animals, and claimed ownership to nature and its resources.   As the consequences of our human centricity impact the earth, what if it is time for non-humans to gain autonomy, and even rights, on par with humans?  This project is about using metaverse, NFT and digital twins as a mechanism for non-humans to gain equal rights so that we can truly establish a fully integrated and diverse approach to earth stewardship, an interspecies metaverse. We think that this is just the beginning and one of a possible self-governed equitable models for a true equitable ecosystem for our planet that is inclusive.  Digital twins allow for non-human to have a presence, rights and even economic means in the metaverse that is immutable and traceable.   Our unsustainable model of capitalism that is over sourcing our natural resources need to be reinvented.   It is time we rethink capitalism, and one of the ways we can level out the playing field is to give plants and other non-human species the same economic power and decision making capabilities that are to their benefits, not ours. Interspecies economics might be a means to a more equitable planet, by incorporating all aspects of the complexity of planetary accounting into our consumption model in order to understand how to create a regenerative economy. We are currently planning to create the world’s first plant-governed DAO so that plants themselves will have the ability to decide how the funds of these NFTrees should be spent.  If the water level is low, then the funds will then go towards water focused initiatives, for example. After this first iteration of NFTrees, we are now working on the 2nd generation of NFTrees where the trees are now generated in 3D and can be “planted” via geolocation in the place of your choice and can be viewed via our own augmented reality application of SOFT (Store of Future Things) app.   In our future pipeline, we are hoping to extend this project and place sensors in the forest in the same capacity to monitor forestry health and convert those as NFTrees as well.  Other initiatives, such as placing sensors in the ocean to monitor ocean health, can then be turned into NFSeas with visualizations of reefs and corals that people can buy and funds can go towards blue initiatives, NFBees for bee health.   The expansion of the impact NFT could serve as a way to monitor our planetary health via digital twins, and to allow economic autonomy from plants and planetary accounting to be integrated into our economic model. Our project is just in the very beginning stages of setting up the foundation of how this could be implemented.

The system consists of Decisions, Subroutines, Conditionals, Arithmetic operations, etc. that the development process of smart contracts is centered upon. Upon completion of the schematic process of the GUI, the JSON attributes of the DOM elements that have been schematized are then parsed and structured into JSON objects which would serve as a middleman/intermediary interface through which the end results of the target smart contract programming languages are syntactically formed (in our case Pyteal).

We at Gwei Club feel that ENS is the de facto standard for web3 usernames on Ethereum, and our goal is to build on top of this expansive protocol and leverage the full potential of its community. With this in mind, we’re building a platform where people with .eth names can curate their eb3 profiles, discover fellow ENSers, and interact and network with a group of people who share their belief in the Ethereum ecosystem. A Gwei Club profile fetches data directly from the chain, which means that users don’t have to create profiles, just claim them. You can do so right now by heading to gweiclub.xyz and entering your .eth name, OR simply search for .gweiclub.xyz in your browser. This profile and everything it contains belongs entirely to you. Gwei Club has no control over your data and we don’t ever want to change that. Your Gwei Club profile is decentralized, composable and entirely on-chain. Features: Gwei Club works on both desktop and mobile, and it currently displays an ENS user’s avatar pfp, their NFT collection, social media links and any website linked to their ENS. Verified users will also receive a blue tick badge next to their .eth names. To get verified, a user has to visit their profile and connect the wallet holding their ENS name. We’re working on adding a ton of new features in the coming days and we’re constantly looking for community feedback to make sure we build for the people who are going to use our product. Here are the features currently in development: > Add 'dark mode' functionality > Allow users to share profiles > Give users the option to curate their NFTs in boards according to collections, themes and more categories > Add an NFT as your ENS avatar pfp and edit text records directly from Gwei Club rather than the ens.domains app > Enable user actions and connections — users can engage with other profiles (liking, commenting) and add them as connections to grow their network. 💡 Check out this Loom video for a walkthrough of our upcoming features. How you can contribute beyond funding: Gwei Club is for the ENS community, and we want you all to be truly involved in the process. If you have any feedback — whether it’s something you like, dislike or features would like to see — or if you want to BUIDL with us, please join our Discord or send us a DM on Twitter. FYI: Gwei Club beta testers and builders are considered to be founding members and will be eligible to mint NFTs from our ‘OG’ collection (dropping soon!)",2022-07-28T07:44:38.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 6995,True,True,0x9883A6520c38F8763d3333B579d4fb21FD6Bf252,Powering Crypto Education and Adoption in Africa,https://gitcoin.co/grants/6995/powering-crypto-education-and-adoption-in-africa,"Our mission at Metaport is to improve African participation in the Crypto and Blockchain space through targeted and fun learning experiences.

(It's a generative Art of your eth address, which looks like the ethereum logo.) Each address has numbers & alphabet, i.e. it's alphanumeric. We have mapped alphanumeric on the Ethereum logo in such a way that numbers are aligned horizontally (left to right) & alphabets are mapped vertically (top to bottom) Each address starts from 0x, and lines are mapped on the points starting from 0x. That means each unique address will have a unique NFT. Ultra RARE! Unique address = Unique NFT = Rarest NFT that you can own. Why have we created this? 2021 was a great year for the NFT community and the Web3 ecosystem, NFTs were on the top, and pfp was gaining popularity over the globe and building its value in the market. But it's not something that anyone can relate to it. Some people thought of it as a simple png and jpeg file. So, we came up with an NFA as an identity NFT, which represents your address as an NFT, which also looks like an ethereum logo, and it's generated and stored on-chain completely. It's open source, so anyone can use NFA to build over it. Please follow us on Twitter and check out our Website here!!

Get a FREE NFT while learning about Web3, underlying values of NFT, and security principles. A quick video intro here: This project is also a very good tool for onboarding friends into Web3: Without MyFirstNFT: spend a lot of time explaining the concepts and knowledge to your friends; you might miss some key points, like security, lack of security knowledge can lead to theft of property; You need to help them install the wallet on their browser, etc. With MyFirstNFT: Send the MyFirstNFT website link(myfirstnft.info) to them, and answer some questions, if any, done. Our goal is to assist more Web3 enthusiasts in easily understanding and learning Web3 concepts and knowledge, allowing them to enter the Web3 world quickly and safely. This project was started by Bruce and built by the LXDAO community for almost two months. We have 17 core contributors and over 30 contributors who brought excellent ideas, feedback, and suggestions. And everyone can discuss the content in our forum (https://forum.lxdao.io/c/projects/001-mfnft/14) and contribute to ensuring the content is updated and cover most of the key points. Why did we embark on this project? Because many newcomers to Web3 are confused and helpless, there are too many concepts and knowledge to learn and the risk of theft if not done correctly. There are many tutorials and documents on the market, but they are not very systematic and must be summarised and organized by themselves, and many concepts are difficult to understand, so we thought, why not create a comprehensive tutorial that is simple to understand? In addition to concepts, we have security knowledge, which is very important in the Web3 world, we also provide how to DYOR section, and we also provide a free mint NFT function, so the combination of theory and practice can help newbies enter the Web3 world faster. We would like to apply for grants to continue optimizing and promoting this project, such as adding more languages, improving the interactive experience (especially the mobile version), and optimizing the content to make it more understandable, in the hopes of assisting more people who are interested in Web3. We are also planning to make the second version of this project in the community. The topic is on our community forum https://forum.lxdao.io/t/the-next-version-of-myfirstnft/66.

And the democratization of energy? For the scientific/engineering/academic/research communities on how blockchain and Web3 tooling can serve them efficiently and beneficially. For a long time fusion energy has gotten a 'bad rap.' It's been described as always being '30 years away.' Huge government funded projects such as ITER.org in the South of France, which represents a cooperative consortium of 35 nations, are what most are familiar with in terms of fusion energy research. ITER is 35 nations all contributing funding and brain power to realizing the Holy Grail of nuclear fusion energy. Then there is the MIT spin-off, Common Wealth Fusion Systems in Massachusetts that has gotten $2B in funding so far. These examples illustrate why we believe so strongly that #DeSci, decentralized science, is the right approach to have for fusion energy research today. Why? Because by opening up this research to the widest number of collaborators we believe it will catalyze innovation through a competitive, yet collaborative, scientific process. It will also allow for wider sources of funding of this breakthrough technology. If a million (or more!) people were given permission to 'invest' in their clean energy future, would they? We believe they would, if given even half the chance. image courtesy cointelegraph And now, at Lawrence Livermore National Lab's National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California, an extraordinary breakthrough has been achieved in the past year. The breakthrough is known as Lawson's Criterion. LAWSON'S CRITERION & SUSTAINABLE NET FUSION ENERGY Lawson's Criterion is the point at which a fusion reaction becomes self-sustaining. To explain further, the researchers at NIF directed a high-powered laser beam at a capsule of hydrogen and heated it up to 18,000 times the heat of the sun. This hydrogen atom fused and released the equivalent of 10 quadrillion watts of power...or 1.3 megajoules of energy. And the even more extraordinary thing is that the researchers have analyzed the data over the course of nearly a year, now, and concluded that the reaction wasn't temporary, but self-sustaining. This means that when the same conditions are met, the fusion reaction will lead to another and then a next and a next in a self-sustaining, self-perpetuating virtuous circle of clean, abundant, cheap energy. All of a sudden fusion energy is no longer 30 years away. The most informed analysts now predict that we will be seeing the net energy output of fusion energy as soon as 2024. And from there, commercialization and widescale deployment will follow. BIG MONEY ALREADY PILING IN TO FUSION ENERGY STARTUPS In July 2022, Chevron and Google each put $100M into a nuclear fusion energy startup. Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have both backed British Columbia-based General Fusion. Investments in fusion energy soared by $2.8B in the past 12 months alone (as of July 2022 writing). That represents a total investment in fusion energy R&D of $4.8B, up from a total of just $2B 12 months ago. Of that total, only $117M is public funding. The rest is private funding by the likes of billionaires and billion $$ corporations. (*These calculations exclude ITER.org Tokamak in Southern France).Congress’s recent Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 spending bill, $370B was included for energy and climate spending. Of that, only about $270M was earmarked for the fusion energy industry, ‘mostly for construction’ according to the Fusion Industry Association. So, can the everyday retail investor gain exposure to this promising technology? No. At the very least you have to be an accredited investor in order to get in on any of these potential funding rounds. There are no RegCF funding rounds for the everyday investor for fusion energy startups. And none planned so far as we know. Brief Explanation of Fusion Energy & How It Works ""Fusion occurs when two light atoms bond together, or fuse, to make a heavier one. As described by Albert Einstein's famous E=mc2 equation: The total mass of the new atom is less than that of the two that formed it; the ""missing"" mass is given off as energy. Image courtesy Renato Perillo The fusion energy industry is projected to be a $40Trillion dollar industry..And some estimates state that it is set to disrupt the $1T per year global energy market; Once breakthrough is achieved at significant levels (referring to when more energy is output than input in a nuclear fusion reactor) this clean, abundant, cheap energy source is set to potentially replace most other sources of energy on the planet. There is little to no radioactive waste produced from nuclear fusion energy, either. :""Nuclear fusion energy is pretty much the opposite of nuclear fission energy."" As an Impact DAO, FrontierDAO is positioning itself so that its members both help catalyze this race to clean, abundant fusion energy deployment and also share in the potential profits that will inevitably come from it. Imagine if Chevron, Exxon, AramCo or BP were DAOs?  Clean, abundant, cheap energy for the planet’s people is already a disruptor in itself. Electricity, hot water, internet, mobile phone rechargers, sanitation, cooking, heating for even the most remote communities on our planet is what this will mean. But it doesn’t stop there - issues like fresh water sourcing are also largely solved when the prohibitive energy costs of water desalination become moot when nuclear fusion energy is used as an energy source for the process.  The closest comparison to a fellow DeSci DAO would be VitaDAO. What Vita is doing for Longevity Research, we aim to do for nuclear fusion energy. We are structuring so that IP that we invest in as a DAO, once commercialized and monetized, will pay back into the DAO Treasury. Our purpose is to: Support nuclear fusion R&D, Test &Evaluation to the point where it’s commercialized and deployed globally. Help provide the planet a clean, abundant, cheap energy source thus rendering the climate change conversation moot going forward. Help grow the personal wealth of our DAO membership (open to all) while increasing the DAO’s treasury.The DAO’s treasury will be used to further support innovative technologies and fusion energy deployment.  FrontierDAO was created in September 2021. As a female co-founder, I helped set up and deploy FrontierDAO on Aragon as a DAO in January 2022. Thus far we are bootstrapped. We are seeking grant funding from Gitcoin for these immediate needs:  Public information education and awareness with an emphasis on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. At FrontierDAO we face two challenges in our communications strategy:  The scientific, engineering and climate change communities who are our natural target communities tend not to be native crypto or Web3 people. So explaining Web3 and onboarding these communities as DAO members is a steep learning curve and/or point of friction that we must work hard to scale.  The Web3 and native crypto communities are fully conversant in DAO-speak and DeFi concepts, but there is generally a misconception about Nuclear Fusion energy, often mistaken for Nuclear Fission energy. This, too, poses a steep messaging hurdle to what is otherwise a natural target community.  Milestone 1 Onboard 1000 members to the DAO who support clean energy and who believe that fusion energy is a potential solution to climate challenges.\Successful onboarding of community will necessitate a full-time core DAO team. We already have necessary DAO tooling in place, or readily deployable, such as Gnosis Safe, Snapshot, and DAO smart contracts enabling governance on our Aragon dashboard, etc. We aim to onboard the first 1000 DAO members in the next 6 months, all committed to supporting fusion energy research and eventual deployment on a global scale. Our vision is to scale this to a million or more members as fusion energy builds traction in the coming years. To achieve this, we will require a fully committed core DAO contributor team with requisite skill sets.\ Milestone 2: Have the budget to pay 8 full-time DAO contributors who have the required skill sets in DevOps, Legal, Comms, Marketing & Community, Engineering, Science, Project Management, Biz Dev. As we bridge into being an Investment DAO (as well as a Research DAO), we need to remain compliant with SEC and U.S./international investment laws. A part of this intended grant is to be used for legal fees and compliance structuring in a way that allows us to onboard the maximum number of members. The structure we seek will allow the DAO Treasury to pay out to the membership, over the coming decade and longer, shares in any and all of the accrued wealth.  Milestone 3: DAO structuring, tokenization and governance that is fully compliant with US regs. In November of 2021, I wrote a paper and published it as a NFT on Mirror.xyz. It is titled, ""Why Science, Why Blockchain, Why A DAO Now?"" https://mirror.xyz/0x4A35674727c44cf4375d80C6171281Ba2f764213/oQ8iKsOm3Hb05pUA3oV_GFyiyqcmJJk6cFnwudXsbP8 This paper was published as a NFT at the very start of the #DeSci trend, but it clearly explains the initial vision for FrontierDAO and how science and innovation can be re-tooled using Web3. We also have our WhitePaper on FrontierDAO.xyz which dives even more deeply into our purpose and mission.  We aim to democratize clean, abundant, cheap energy. And we want our members to do good for themselves, their loved ones and offspring while doing good for the planet and its future generations.

Our DeSci ecosystem will include investors seeking for investment opportunities in the longevity field. This will convert research works into real world solutions. By creating a virtual, immersive and persistent scientific environment, we will facilitate meaningful human interactions between scientists and funders while eliminating a centralised control. Funders will have a pool of research work to choose from while scientist will have the right funding to convert ideas to solutions. MERITS OF DECENTRALISED SCIENCE OVER TRADITIONAL SCIENCE: 1) Scientists collaborate with peers from all over the globe in dynamic teams. Unlike traditional scientific research where centralised organisations limit collaborations. 2) Scientists will be able to share virtual laboratory services with anyone in the world. This is unlike traditional science where sharing is limited. 3) Scientists will earn rewards in Transhuman Coin (our native token) for peer-reviewing work. This is not the case with traditional scientific where peer-review works are unpaid. 4) Sharing all of the research procedure, including the data from unsuccessful efforts, by having all steps on-chain. This is different from the traditional publication bias which makes researchers more likely to share experiments that had successful results. We are seeking for funding to commence development of the Transhumanist DeSci project which will bring the longevity field closer to blockchain.

These are what keeps us in enough agreement over network state that we place trust in our financial transactions. But are these algorithms applicable to a social perspective?  I would say no, not really. And they don’t have to be. Producing blocks that secure a state across a network is different than deciding on legal policy that secures the life, liberty and property of a nation. They show the technology is here + accepted, but who will develop the social systems that will affect our grandkids? What groups will implement them? And what is a social system anyway? The shining social system is Democracy, a concept that has changed with the times from clay pots to representation. We are no longer bound by time in communication, or distance in representation, so it stands to reason that we’re already going through a revolution in democracy, from Gitcoin, to DPoS, to DAOs.  Democracy is often linked to politics and governance, but today, some of the most impactful decisions are our interactions that drive the algorithms that determine what content is shown to hungry minds scrolling their phones. If only we knew how these algorithms made their decisions.  Solution: Define key primitives + functions needed for democratic systems to develop in unique ways. Solution Narrative  Now we have the opportunity to explore systems and ways to solve the same problem: Human Collaboration towards Common Desires. We have the time to step back and look at how we are interacting, and where our information comes from. We have the leeway to re-define what is the bare-minimum level of democracy we accept for each type of system (social media, music playlists, running a country).Theses minimums are, in part, the primitives that must be defined and agreed upon for any fair system to develop.  For just one primitive, personhood, many independent solutions exist, ranging from KYC platforms, to social verification solutions such Proof of Humanity, to biometric options like you use to unlock your phone. But verifying a person is only one aspect of democracy to explore. Supporting this grant means more exploration, and more solutions in-code. How your support drives change.  I love writing about biomimetic tokenomic systems and structuring data primitives, but if no one reads it, what did I write? And if I am making a public good of my own ideology, who does that really serve?  My goal with this project isn’t to preach all my great ideas. it’s to first create the common knowledge that new Web3 democracies exist, and show how to integrate them. To accomplish this mission, we need to share the working democratic ideas that reveal the functional inefficiencies in current power structures, including existing DAO structures. 40% of your ETHergy transfer will be used on branding and downloadable media information (PDFs, short video, etc) to educate, and ensure the code hits. And code is important. The remaining grant will be used to fund writing and curating code. Awesome Repo will swell with DAOs and DHOs and DXOs or whatever is next. The next wave of developers and decision makers on a global scale are granted opportunity to discover and build software that makes society run smoother. (or so we hope) I am grateful for any donation you are able to give, considering all the GR15 ReFi good causes.

In order for everyone to freely choose their role (creator or curator or delegator or developer) and benefit from it in ownership economy, we introduce TheBards, a fully decentralized NFTs curation economy protocol built with public blockchain infrastructure and other decentralized technologies. 1. Mission Promoting the efficient and synchronized circulation of information and value, so as to mint the value of everyone. 2. Motivations 2.1. We are Creatures of Stories Yuval Noah Harari's best-seller book, “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind[1],” claims that gossip, based on judgments, began our rule of the planet. Before we began gossiping with other Homo sapiens, we were merely another mammal in the food chain. Gossiping empowered us to bond with others socially, create friendships and even hierarchies, allowing us to cooperate while gaining an edge on the animal kingdom. Gossip is one of the unheralded foundations of our species and its survival, Harari concludes. “Social cooperation is our key for survival and reproduction,” he writes in the book. “It is not enough for individual men and women to know the whereabouts of lions and bisons. It’s much more important for them to know who in their band hates whom, who is sleeping with whom, who is honest and who is a cheat.” He conjectures that the cognitive demands to socialize in groups drove the growth of the human brain, eventually leading to language and other activities that allowed us to organize more effectively for survival. One of these attributes that emerged from greater socialization and larger brains, was storytelling — the ability to construct imagined realities. Storytelling allowed us to develop beliefs, narratives, and other purely intellectual constructs, such as religions, companies, nations, and liberal humanism, which furthered our social and organizational capabilities. Harari uses the example of a limited liability corporation — a completely imaginary entity that nevertheless organizes the work of many people, carrying out a mission across time and space because so many people accept the corporation to be as real as a tree or stone. Other animals do not have LLCs but instead live in the tangible, physical world. Throughout history, we listen to stories and create our own stories all the time. We organize things and individuals effectively through stories. We create family stories to build blood ties, company stories to capture value, and religious stories to build beliefs.  In general, we are creatures of stories, who reach a consensus through stories, and will continue to tell stories and tell them better. 2.2. The Power of Stories in Decision Making Nassim Taleb suggests the Andrey Nikolayevich Rule[5], which says that in real-world economic life we are faced with a lot of information that is costly to obtain, costly to store, and costly to manipulate and retrieve. As a result, we simplify: we reduce the dimensions of life through the use of stories. According to Taleb, stories help us to make the world “less random than it actually is,” and they can fit in with our incessant drive for sense-making.[7] Chater & Loewenstein similarly posit that our hardwiring for stories is based upon our dislike for entropy or disorder.[7] We try to organize our lives into narratives, to force sense into the randomness around us. So, there is good reason to believe that we use stories in the way we think, and decision making too[5]. Therefore, the ultimate decision to purchase may not be based merely on the specific features of the goods and services, but rather the imagined sequence of events as a whole. In other words, our choices often rely on narratives. This is arguably what GoPro does so well. They don’t sell you the features of their cameras. They sell you the swashbuckling, risk-taking, adventurous lifestyle narrative that accompanies their cameras.  2.3. The Curation is Storytelling Curation is care over objects or, in Merriam-Webster’s case, care over words traditionally. Jacob Horn, the Founder of Zora provided a new definition: curation is the act of creating context[2]. This definition is a bit complicated and not elegant. Curation is essentially storytelling, by which we deliver value and build consensus, just as we humans do all the time. That is, by organizing things in a certain form, trying to convey a certain information or value, so as to form a consensus among the crowd, which is no different from organizing words to tell a story. Amazon curates thousands of products and tells a story about e-commerce; Facebook curates our social relationships and tells the story of social networks; Google curates information and tells the story of search engines. Here are a few examples of big Internet companies. In fact, all companies in the world are trying to tell their stories by curating their products and services. Once our minds accept their stories, we enter into their stories, just like an ignorant moth falling into a spider's web, which cannot be easily eliminated. This may be the deep-seated reason for monopoly. We don't want to fall into the stories weaved by the big internet companies and be sold to ad agencies for profit, they are actually taking advantage of us and yet we get very little or nothing. In web3, data is publicly accessible, decentralized curation is still needed and becomes more important and valuable. We may tell our own stories by curating who we are, what we have, and what we do. 3. Problems We see a lot of special challenges that creators and curators are facing today. ● Digital service providers (DSPs) often act as curators, they decide what users will see, thus selling our attention as a product to advertisers. ● Incomplete rights ownership data often prevents content creators and curators from getting paid; instead, earnings accumulate in digital service providers and rights societies. ● There are layers of middlemen and significant time delay involved in payments to creators and curators. ● Publishing rights are complicated and opaque, with no incentives for the industry to make rights data public and accurate. ● Licensing issues prevent DSPs and content from being accessible worldwide. 4. Solution We believe that curation is trying to tell a story about someone's work, life, entertainment, skills, etc. TheBards is a Creator + Curation + NFT economy system. For simplicity, hereafter collectively referred to as the curation economy. Smart contracts specify the interaction between the four roles (like creator, curator, delegator, developer) and the fair distribution of profits in the system.  It is worth noting that we regard user profiles, feeds and Dapps as curations, so delegator can also stake TBT to the above objects at the same time. 4.1. Curations Curations will be minted into NFTs, which can be collected and pledged by anyone to share benefits. There are the following curatorial types: ● Self curation: Presented as a CV or profile NFT that explains who we are, what we have and what we do. ● Single curation: Expressed as basic posts, such as microblogs, articles, audio, video, etc., used to show the creator's gigs, ideas, work, life, knowledge, tastes, etc., which will be minted as NFTs by default, so they can be collected by fans and used as creator's soulband items. ● Combined curation: Various organic combinations of content are also a way of curation, just like the mutual achievement of video and music in tiktok, which will produce a magical chemical reaction. ● Protfolio curation: Equally and purposefully combine content into a list, such as a jazz playlist. ● Feed curation: Featured or specific types of information streams, such as news, funny videos, audio novels, etc. 4.2. Stakeholders In our curation economy system, including the following stakeholders, our protocols will define the interaction between them and the distribution of benefits. ● Creator: Creators publish microblogs, articles, pictures, audios, videos, Q&A, etc. as NFTs. ● Curator: Curators are also creators. However, They try to combine different elements to tell a story. Like a literati combining words into prose, like a musician combining notes into a symphony. It is worth noting that the main curation method of this article is combined curation, protfdio curation, and feed curation, excludes the other two special curation types. The TheBards rewards Curators that tell a unique and valuable story earn a share of sale fees of NFTs and rewards. ● Delegator: Delegator are critical to the decentralized curation economy. They use their knowledge or intuition to assess and signal on the curations. Delegator are economically incentivized to siganl early. By signalling on a curation, you will earn a share of all the curation share revenue that this curation generates. x% of all curation share revenue goes to the delegators pro-rata to their delegation shares.  ● Developer: Create a feed curation or use existing data or feeds in a dapp. We are familiar with creator and developer. Next, we will focus on delegator and curator. 4.3. Delegator Each curation has a bonding curve[3] on which delegation shares are minted when a user delegate (i.e., ""stake"") TBT to the curve. Each curation’s bonding curve is unique. The bonding curves are architected so that the price to mint a delegation share on a curation increases linearly, over the number of shares minted. In general, a bonding curve is a mathematical curve that defines the relationship between token supply and asset price. In the specific case of content curation, the price of each curation share increases with each token invested and the price of each share decreases with each token sold. Delegator make the curation economy system efficient and end users know that a curation is good to focus on, where TBT is added to a bonding curve for a curation. End users can inherently trust the signal from a delegator because upon signaling, delegators mint a delegation share for the curation, entitling them to a portion of future curation fees that the curation drives. Delegator signal is represented as ERC20 tokens called Curation Delegator Shares (CDS). Delegators that want to earn more delegation fees should signal their TBT to curations that they predict will generate a strong flow of fees to the network. Delegators cannot be slashed for bad behavior, but there is a deposit tax on delegators to disincentivize poor decision-making that could harm the integrity of the network. Delegators also earn fewer delegation fees if they choose to delegate on a low-quality curation since there will be poor content quality, inconsistent content with curated theme, deeply nested curation, etc. 4.4. Curator For curators, we think of shops, galleries, museums, etc., which are paid for providing a channels to display and sell merchandise, paintings, artworks, etc. Curators in our economic system likewise profit by creating meaningful context for commodities (NFTs) to induce purchasing decisions. NFTs issued through our protocol will be customizable with sales splits, ie., curation fee cut, which is the portion of the rewards that the NFT owner will keep for themselves. That means if it is set to 100%, as a curator you will get 0 curation rewards. If you see 80% in the UI, that means as a curator, you will receive 20%. 4.5. A User Case Chloe is a travel blogger living in the UK. She usually travels all over the world, writing, taking pictures, and living the free life that people yearn for.  She regularly uploads her travel articles, videos and photos to StoryLine, a hypothetical social networking application based on the TheBards Protocol. The app will mint her content into NFTs. Her fans collect her content NFTs through purchases. A travel genre curator or feed service provider will organize her content into a collection or index it in a database.  She can skillfully refer to travel-related NFTs in her content with links. She can also get a certain share of the purchases fees triggered by her content, and the corresponding curators who curate her content will also have a corresponding share, all of which are stipulated in the smart contract. Delegators in the tourism field will stake their TBT to the corresponding curations, hoping to have curatorial revenue sharing in the future. 4.6. Static and Dynamic Distribution As shown in the figure below, the system includes two value distribution modes: static and dynamic distribution. Static distribution occurs on a single curation entity, whose distribution is fixed. Whereas dynamic distribution is related to the context of each transaction, i.e. curation. When the curation is different, the benefit distribution will be different. For example, 2-level nested curation and 3-level nested curation allocation scheme will be different. ● Static Distribution: or down distribution[4], stakeholders are fixed, and the distribution ratio is also fixed. ● Dynamic Distribution: or up distribution, stakeholders and allocation ratios depend on the context in which each transaction occurs, i.e. we have to dynamically determine which curators are there and how the value is distributed. 5. Tokenomics The purpose of the TheBards token (TBT) is to coordinate, bootstrap, and incentivize participants to make sure the curation economy is as effective, secure, reliable and useful as possible. In the TheBards protocol, TBT is used to buy NFTs and stake the token to mint the delegation share, the more TBT you stake, the more shares you will get for exchanging income.  When a user purchases NFTs in the context of content or curation, both creator and curator earn a partion of those curation share fees as a reward for contexts created for triggering purchase decisions. 5.1. Rewarding Stakeholders In addition to earning curation share fees, TheBards mints new token over time, much like Bitcoin and Ethereum block rewards, which are split amongst curations in proportion to their total stake relative to others in the system. This has the effect of growing system ownership amongst those who participate and shrinking it amongst those who do not. 5.2. Rounds & Inflation In TheBards, new tokens are minted every so-called round. Rounds are measured in Ethereum blocks, where one round is equal to 5760 Ethereum blocks. In Ethereum, one block is mined on average every 14.89 seconds, which means one TheBards round lasts roughly 23.82 hours. Assuming the curations you're staked to is doing its job, this is how often you can expect to receive reward tokens. The cool thing about TheBards is the inflation rate adjusts automatically depending on how many tokens are staked out of the total circulating supply. TheBards presupposes that a target rate of T% is a healthy trade-off between network security and token liquidity, so in order to hit this target, the protocol incentivizes stakeholders by increasing the inflation rate by a% for every round the participation rate is below T% and decreasing it a% for every round the participation rate is above T%. 6.

We're also pretty damn scared... the future looks utterly terrifying. Angry Teenagers is a project born out of those feelings. They are also a reaction to the insidious idea that we need to rely on central authorities - governments and big corporations - to fix the climate catastrophe. That individuals can't make a meaningful difference. We can, and we must. Blockchain gives us the tools we need to do that. When you buy an Angry Teenager NFT, your money goes to a specific, unique square of land and the NFT updates with photos as that piece of land comes back to life as a forest. You see your money making a beautiful change in the world.  From degraded scrub land with few trees and little biodiversity, to a forest with trees like this: [photo: Some of the Angry Teenagers team during a site visit to a pristine forest adjacent to the first reforestation project we are undertaking. This is what we will restore the land back to. September 1st 2022] All the funds raised from NFT sales go into a blockchain wallet that is controlled by the vote of the NFT holders. So NFT holders maintain direct control over the work they fund. As the forests grow, they generate carbon credits. Revenue from carbon credit sales is returned to the project wallet, and the NFT holders can then vote to reinvest them in more reforestation. This creates a compounding reinvestment loop that means the impact of our NFTs grow over time. More and more of this denuded, degraded, lifeless land is restored back into magnificently beautiful, diverse ecosystems.  The first project we’re funding is a youth organization in Ghana (SYND Ghana) who are training young people to rebuild an ecosystem on land that has been destroyed by intensive logging. [Photo: the Angry Teenagers and SYND Ghana team talking with the Chief of Nsonyam Ye village about the impact of the reforestation project on his community and their environment, September 1st 2022] The first reforestation project is set up and ready to go - including detailed on the ground work with the local community to ensure maximum alignment and mutual benefit. The funds from this grant will allow us to finalise the tech platform for the sale and the voting structure of the DAO. We also have a pipeline of further projects through which we can scale. We are actively talking with other projects in the ReFi space about leveraging the Angry Teenagers technical and legal structure and brand in order to finance other real world projects. Everything we do is open source and designed to scale the overall impact of the ReFi space. [Photo: Angry Teenagers and SYND Ghana team with the young people of the community who will work on the reforestation project] Angry Teenagers are about not waiting for governments and big corporations to solve the climate catastrophe. They are about being empowered as individuals and as a community. We can be the generation that rises to this challenge, individually and as a global community. Hear more about what we're doing on the ReFi podcast: https://podcast.refidao.com/e/angry-teenagers-with-ben-an-eline-from-ecomint/ We are also in the ReFi DAO Real World Assets circle. Everything we are building is open sourced: form smart contracts to the legal contracts. We have pioneered a legal structure that gives the on chain entity control over the funds, while having a real world entity that hold legal accountability. We actively encourage other projects to use this framework to create a funding stream for their real world projects - either as an Angry Teenagers project, or under a different brand, but using the tools we've created.

Nonetheless, relative to its objectives and core functionalities — it is a pain in the a*s to use.  In its attempt to be an easily-accessible alternative to traditional finance, DeFi has created its own bubble of poor, manual & highly fragmented user experience, with a high entry barrier that requires vast time and often specific industry/technical knowledge.

Yield Strategies — WTF are they? Yield strategies are, simply put, the act of utilizing your yields in a certain way, or order, with the intention of maximizing them, to adjust your risk level. The most simple example of a yield strategy would be yield compounding, the strategy goes as follows: Deposit tokens > Claim Rewards > Deposit Tokens (rewards) By utilizing a yield strategy, you are benefiting from compound interest, which results in increased yields over a period of time. Yield strategies can be as simple or as complex as you'd like - they are catered to your own specific needs, assets/platforms preferences, and risk tolerance. Presently, to benefit from yield strategies (AKA increased yields & mitigated risk), users need to manually execute them - Which means: Going on multiple dApps, signing multiple transactions, moving funds around, etc. With Yieldchain, though, users can effortlessly assemble their strategy's steps ONCE - and with the click of a button, deploy it as an automatic, fully functional vault - on a no-code interface that requires no technical knowledge at all, built with YOUR - The everyday user's needs, in mind. Full composability - Build on top of any pool/protocol. Seriously. Is the protocol/pool you want to utilize within your strategy not yet integrated into Yieldchain? Yieldchain not only enables users to assemble their own no-code yield strategies - it allows them to do so on top of any protocol/pool that exists in DeFi. Instantaneously & seamlessly plug in pools & protocols with the click of a button - Using its website link (URL), within 30 seconds - and immediately assemble your strategy on top of it. Social Finance (SocialFi) - Vaults are public, permissionless - Share strategies with others! Any vault deployed on Yieldchain is immediately accessible for anyone to deposit into. Users can see the vault's details, its strategy, etc - and with the click of a button, deposit their funds into it, beginning to automatically utilize it. Don't want to assemble your own strategy? Simply search for an asset, and deposit into one of the available vaults - You are just one click away from earning maximal yields!

Our core offerings will be perpetual futures and European carbon options with elective physical settlement. Neutral's platform will allow carbon holders, brokers, and liquidity providers to hedge their holdings; offsetting entities to secure the cost of their sustainability goals / offsetting schedule; and carbon originators to conduct better investment analysis. Providing a derivatives platform for carbon will allow for yield and net-neutral strategies to be built on top, allowing carbon holders to earn passive yield on their holdings and offsetting users to optimize and automate their offsetting goals. Neutral will develop net-neutral strategies and support the development of yield strategies on top of our platform after successful delivery of the base derivative products. 🌲 Why carbon derivatives? Looking at off-chain activity, organizations that have to follow carbon compliance schema use carbon derivatives to manage their costs and hedge their carbon positions. Organizations engaging in voluntary offsetting or have business models / positions with indirect exposure to carbon prices can also use derivatives to mitigate their risks. Off-chain derivatives also provide signals on future carbon prices, allowing carbon originators to conduct better investment analysis, informs organizations on the costs of their sustainability objectives, and provides policy makers with additional information to increase policy effectiveness. As the carbon market moves on-chain, similar on-chain utility needs to be developed. At Neutral we have been working hard to develop on-chain carbon derivatives, another key piece in the ReFi ecosystem, to move us closer towards a mature, thriving on-chain carbon market. ⚙️ Product description Users will be able to trade perpetual futures (perps) and European carbon options with optional physical delivery. We'll first introduce perps as they’re a well-known, easy-to-use, hedging mechanism that doesn’t fragment liquidity. Perp traders will be able to use carbon as collateral, increasing on-chain utility and allowing users to execute a long-short position in a single transaction. As the ecosystem matures and liquidity increases, we'll start delivering more sophisticated derivative products. European carbon options will enable carbon yield vaults and improved net-neutral execution, providing offsetters with price stability and carbon holders with yield opportunities. Providing the core suite of derivative products will allow for composability and construction of complex positions with easy execution, management, and cross-margining.",2022-08-08T04:19:51.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7037,False,False,0x284F3268d61e07337b6bB461E9994F678b543b10,coach1941,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7037/coach1941,"nice ",2022-08-08T11:12:55.311-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7038,True,True,0x2bFA74Fd69756749d2Cad661F7486DBa3B1Fb124,PLATFORM - A Social Music Library,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7038/platform-a-social-music-library,"PLATFORM is a web3-based social music ecosystem that enables artists to collaborate with others via the web and monetize not only their songs but their instruments, parameters and sessions as well.

Today mainstream borrowers are either not using DeFi lending due to its unattractiveness comparing to TradFi lending, or taking over-collateralized loans with unfair collateral, APR and liquidation terms.  In other words, today's DeFi loans suck: • >125% collateral scares away mainstream borrowers from DeFi loans; • Collateral liquidation terms are often tricky and make DeFi loans even more unattractive; • There are no personalized terms even if a user has 'good' or 'fair' on-chain reputation.  Banks, in their turn, overcomes this problem by hiring credit scores. Such tool could also be implemented in DeFi making crypto loans more accessible for fair users and underserved populations, cultivating trust and reputation culture. Moreover, credit score negatively impact the number of crypto fraud cases by disincentivizing actors to play dirty.  Solution Nomis is an open-source protocol which helps on-chain developers both to build better DeFi products and use cases, and to balance already existing high-TVL protocols. Every lending/borrowing platform will be able to provide its end-users with extremely customized loan terms for borrowers by using Nomis API.  Nomis is designed to be a multi/cross-chain solution to offer the most robust financial snapshot of a potential borrower by hiring hierarchy analysis as a scoring method. Nomis helps blockchains and/or protocols to grow its TVL, MAU (as a result of acquisition of mainstream borrowers), MAD, # of on-chain use cases (as a result of opportunity provided to develop new DeFi solutions on-top of the Nomis open-source protocol). Differentiation Nomis' competitors are other credit scores such as Chainscore (NEAR), RociFi (Polygon), Spectral Finance (Ethereum), Project Galaxy, Cred Protocol, and TrueFi, etc.  Nomis, in its turn, brings 2 crucial competitive advantages to the table:  1. Nomis is an open-source solution that helps web3 developers leverage credit scores building better on-chain products and communities. 2. Nomis offers the most robust financial snapshot of a potential borrower by hiring multi-chain approach and hierarchy analysis as a scoring method.  What's next for Nomis As mentioned above, our goal is to allow one to borrow capital using one's on-chain reputation as a form of collateral (best case scenario), or at least provide better terms. Although, the long-term vision for Nomis goes far beyond credit scoring for DeFi: other dApps will be able to use existing Nomis Scores as well as building their own custom scores for any need (e.g. wallet qualifier for jobs applications, whitelists, special offerings for products, or just for inviting to a private party, etc.). In other words, our big-picture vision includes building the credential and identity infrastructure layer and empowering developers to build on top of it.  ",2022-08-10T14:08:32.024-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7064,True,True,0xf7c163C94441673FD3B998910FFcc596d8E34DF8,"Decentralized Monitoring, Reporting and Verification- dMeter",https://gitcoin.co/grants/7064/decentralized-monitoring-reporting-and-verificati,"Decentralized Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (dMRV) of Regenerative Actions (like tree planting) and the Benefits of Them (Like clean air, water) What Is ReFi Our environment provides many benefits to humans (such as clean air, water, and productive soil), these are called Ecosystem Services. The quantity of natural assets which provide these ecosystem services (such as geology, soil, air, water, and biomass) are referred to as Natural Capital. By putting a numeric value on ecosystem services and natural capital, market-based pricing and coordination mechanisms can be used to determine the monetary value of them. Regenerative Finance (ReFi) is the process of using various forms of capital to drive systematic, sustainable, and positive change for all stakeholders. It leverages natural capital currencies and other tokenized assets for the preservation of life and ecological health. Internalizing the externalities and realizing the true value of these assets can allow us to preserve and regenerate the biosphere. Allowing us to escape a system of exploitation leading towards scarcity, and instead creating new systems that function in regeneration leading towards abundance. The most commonly known ReFi token used currently, is carbon credits.  Carbon Credits There are main types of carbon credits: carbon avoidance, emission reduction and carbon dioxide removal. Carbon avoidance is when an organization is paid to not do an action that would produce CO2, such as cutting down a forest. This is the most common carbon credit type. This is often classified under the emission reduction credit. These credits are produced when an entity reduces the emissions they were originally producing. Carbon dioxide removal is the second type of carbon credit. Carbon removal is when an organization is paid to do an action that would remove CO2 from our atmosphere, like planting a forest. Both types of credits must have their actions go through a measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) process by a third party. When purchasing credits entities typically go through a marketplace with intermediaries connecting the producer of credits and buyers. One such intermediary is Verra, which Toucan uses to bridge their credits onto the blockchain. Broadening Scope If carbon credits were used to offset all CO2 impacts without addressing other ecosystem services (such as biodiversity, soil quality) and social rights, we would have failed in building systems that align with the preservation and the regeneration of the biosphere. Properly designing carbon credits and other types of credits can lead to co-benefits of these other ecosystem services. MRV of these ecosystem services and social rights is difficult, as well as properly valuing them. However, organizations are already creating MRV methodologies that can be utilized (such as Regen Network, BasinDAO, and Avano).  MRV Intro MRV consists of three distinct features, all of which are vital to conveying legitimacy of regenerative projects (such as tree planting) to stakeholders. Monitoring is the process of measuring the total ecosystem and social services provided by the project. When measuring data is collected through satellite, IOT, georeferenced imagery from boots on the ground, as well as surveys. Reporting involves describing the methodologies that were used to collect and analyze the data, as well as potential biases and any assumptions that went into the data collection. Verification refers to the review process involving a third party that was utilized to ensure the validity of the uploaded data and methodologies.   Problem There are a few centralized methodologies that exist for creating credits, however few regenerative projects have the financial resources to implement or comply with them. If they do, the third parties that provide these MRV methods utilize them infrequently with little or no personal connection to the area they are monitoring. With the MRV methods currently utilized there are gaps in information, and the data backing these projects can vary significantly in precision, magnitude, and quality. Through centralization, projects are siloed and left to stand on their own. Meanwhile, overly high transaction costs to utilize existing MRV methodologies limits participation from the many decentralized projects doing regenerative action (ie. soil carbon). Without proof that they have been able to complete accreditation through the methodologies, these projects find it difficult for funders to provide them with capital. This especially impacts marginalized communities. Without coordination and cooperation with MRV, it will be difficult for regenerative projects to scale. Solution Decentralized measurement, reporting and verification (dMRV) means that no single entity will own, manage or regulate how MRV is done. Instead a collective of people from many different organizations can build upon and improve this dMRV system. For current accreditation standards a combination of on the ground data collection, satellite sensing and IOT devices are used to back the credits. Utilizing web3 mentality, trust minimized data collection methods can be created. An example of this is to write open codes for actions that used to be performed by humans, like detecting a tree and the species of tree it is. Other data collection technologies can become integrated into this system as they become standard in the future.  Once the data is collected open source reporting and verification methodologies can be utilized to analyze the data. Entities that collect the data and create the analysis methodologies are paid each time data is used and an analysis done. This inspires entrepreneurs to build specialized dMRV services which can benefit further regenerative projects. The entire dMRV allows for standardization, trustlessness, immutability, transparency, and open accessibility. This paves the way for decentralized data backed credits. These credits are tied to a specific regenerative action and entity who carried out the action continuously updated over time as more data is gathered. This data and the methodologies used to analyze it is stored permanently and immutably through technology such as IPFS, Arweave etc. The collectors of this data are the owners of it, allowing for sensitive data to be fully controlled by its owner. The dMRV would assist regenerative projects across blockchains and be interoperable with any new blockchain that came into existence. Every entity that is involved with this dMRV helps to iteratively improve upon it. With this, local communities can become more deeply involved with how the regenerative projects they carry out go through the dMRV process as well as tap into funding that was not previously available to carry out these projects. Along with that the diversity and veracity of Natural Capital assets being valued can exponentially increase.  We are in the beginning of this dMRV process and countless building blocks are still missing. There will be problems and limitations that we encounter, but as these gradually get addressed it will become possible to use this new set of lego building blocks to build things that we can hardly imagine today.  What is Needed Data In this dMRV everything is open to where there is only one final layer of trust- the data itself. Trust minimized data collection can be done through a combination of remote sensing, IoT, and human sensing (such as with smart-phones). The data collected is stored permanently and immutably through current technology such as IPFS and Arweave. By multiple data sources backing up that a regenerative action has occurred, more accurate calculations can be created. When one of those inputs is inaccurate, the other data sources can openly show a dispute. When a dispute arises, the stakeholders of the dMRV system can confirm or deny the accuracy of the data. Scoring this data for quality, resolution, and temporal frequency can enable any entity utilizing the dMRV to compare the data sources they pay for. Allowing them to quickly choose the best dataset for their needs. Through this, data becomes highly available as many organizations strive to provide the best data for people’s needs. This puts publishers on a level playing field and allows the companies with the best data to naturally succeed. Along with that publishers can not only benefit from the dMRV utilizing the data but other organizations that might want their data (such as parametric insurance). When individuals can decide who gets access to their data, they can ensure it is used ethically. They can also willingly give access to their data to those attempting to create good causes. Analysis Reporting and verification utilize algorithms. Algorithms are a set of instructions followed to solve a problem or accomplish a task (types of algorithms include standard, machine learning and AI). They are used to process data or information. For example georeferenced imagery can be analyzed using an algorithm that detects if a tree is present in that imagery. Another example is an algorithm can choose which data sources are the most appropriate for evaluating a regenerative action based upon how these data sources did previously. This is more efficient than a human could do, reducing the dMRV costs.  Previous MRV organizations have developed their own algorithms. Some of these algorithms are open source and will become part of the dMRV system if there is no conflict with the creators in doing so. Oftentimes it is only the MRV organization that developed the algorithm that uses it. Allowing more entities to utilize the MRV algorithm, “algorithms-as-a-service” have arisen as a business model. Aaas allows entities of very small to large financial backing to benefit from them. For example, a small business might not have the resources to hire a data scientist to build and train a machine learning model or maintain the infrastructure needed to store the data that the model would be trained on. However, with AaaS, they can simply subscribe to a service and use the algorithms that have been created by someone else. Now through decentralization, algorithm providers can offer their services in a trust minimized and automated way. Along with that they can help financially support the providers of the data that was used to train that algorithm, which in turn gives data providers an incentive to provide high-quality and unique data that otherwise wouldn’t be available for training. Algorithmic transparency allows regenerative actions to demonstrate the ecosystem services they provide in a trustless, decentralized and immutable manner. Which in turn will attract more ReFi investors to support these actions. The more funding that gets channeled towards regenerative actions, the more the dMRV system is used and with each iteration it improves.  Infrastructure  In order to host the data and distribute money to creators of algorithms, among other components of the dMRV system, decentralized infrastructure needs to be created. To permanently store the data collected, decentralized storage systems need to be utilized. For distributing that data to entities that would like to purchase it, data markets need to adequately display it. A new distributed system needs to be created for analyzing that data and paying for each time an analysis methodology is utilized. Some of these systems exist, however they can be improved upon to further support the dMRV system.  Revenue Sources This dMRV system will be created bottom up from individuals and software, these individuals are who we aim to get rewarded through this software system. The flow of this system is planned to be as follows. An entity pays for collection of data, entities affiliated with this dMRV system collect the data using techniques that are part of this system. The data goes to decentralized storage which is paid for, then the entity that pays for the data is able to access it. The data is interpreted via methodologies either that the entity has proprietary control over or that is open source and part of the dMRV system. If the method is open source, a donation is channeled to the creators of the method for its use. The collected data is also marketed in a data marketplace, when people use the data they pay for the use of it. This payment goes towards both the marketplace and the data creator. Cross Organizational Support Behind all of this are people. These people have formed their own decentralized organizations specializing in different aspects of the dMRV system. There are organizations specializing in data collection, analysis and domain experts. The organizations participating in the dMRV will continue to expand as the system builds continued support.  Map Link Data Collectors  Trust minimized data collection can be done through a combination of remote sensing, IoT, and human sensing (such as with smart-phones). These are the organizations that are currently the most prevalent in the web3 space doing work collecting data in each of these areas. Satellite- Shamba The first company to launch a specialized geospatial oracle on the Chainlink network. They have extensive experience in web2 geospatial and information technology and are continuously innovating and pushing the boundaries of these spaces for web3. They have a focus on creating real world applications for this data.  Drone- VillageGrid Focused on finding web3 solutions for existing rural electrification projects, VillageGrid is using drone produced GeoTIFFs as NFTs to capture before-and-after progress updates of rural solar farms, and then exploring blockchain-based energy metering systems to improve the current billing services for said solar farms. Edge & IOT - Athena Protocol Specializing in the deployment of edge computation networks, uncertainty accounting , and the development implementation of algorithmic fairness frameworks.  On-boarding & human-sensing - Eco Labs / TIA (The Impact App) A collaborative on-boarding ecosystem for regenerative action. Eco Labs is developing TIA, an app that will function as a how-to guide for using dMRV services in ReFi, a human-sensing tool to collect images / video from regenerators to be used in Eco Credit methodologies for Regen Network, issue an ID associated with projects, and facilitate payments via Celo integration. Human Sensing- ORGO  A simplified structure or system for recruiting volunteers, collecting data, managing workflows, and rewarding contributors. Data Analysis Once the data has been collected it needs to be cleaned and further analyzed. These are the organizations creating methodologies for this.  Astral Promoting the evolution of an open, human-centered and composable location-based decentralized web. They have created specialized data storage systems, data registries, and a suite of geometric and topological analysis methodologies in Solidity. Algovera  A cooperative of people working to develop useful AI apps. Currently in the process of building systems for rewarding algorithm creators for each time their algorithm is used.  Infrastructure To properly store, market and maintain the data and algorithms, decentralized infrastructure needs to be created. These are the organizations currently doing work in this field.  Not Yet Participating: dClimate  A transparent, decentralized marketplace that allows participants to buy and share data and contribute to an open ecosystem of data-driven climate resilience applications. Not Yet Participating: Ocean Protocol  A data market app to publish, discover, and consume data in a secure, privacy-preserving fashion. Not Yet Participating: Arweave  A decentralized data storage system for permanently storing data. Has enabled the backbone for profit sharing when algorithms are used. Not Yet Participating: IPFS A decentralized data storage system for permanently storing data. Allowing for upgrading of data without overwriting.  Domain Experts For each regenerative action type there are domain specialists. For example an ocean scientist is unlikely to know how to appropriately value tree planting, vice versa. In order to develop analysis algorithms appropriate to each regenerative action type, this specialized knowledge needs to be brought into the dMRV system.  As these domain experts are the ones likely to start creating tokens from the dMRV system (onboarding non web3 regenerative actions into this space) it is encouraged that a percent of their revenue goes towards supporting the dMRV system and if able provide grants for supporting the initial start of this. These organizations will not have control of the dMRV treasury.  Endangered Tokens Foundation Endangered species are especially fragile and need extreme support as quick as possible in order to maintain and increase their population before they go extinct. This organization is reevaluating the biodiversity that these species represent by creating web3 assets (NFTs, tokens). This organization brings specialized knowledge into this area and is working on the ground to ensure that the endangered species are being protected, along with collecting data about the regenerative actions being done around these species. Kolektivo Curacao has been benefiting from the efforts of this organization for the last couple of years. From this the organization gained substantial expertise in working with local communities and creating local economic systems.  Avano Avano is creating a NFT layer for supporting regenerative actions. Avano has specialized in utilizing the InVEST toolset from the Natural Capital project for analyzing regenerative actions and the monetary value of ecosystem services provided by them. Not Yet Participating: Moonjelly A decentralized ocean conservation organization that has world class scientists and data intelligence personnel, specializing in the ocean, throughout the organization. Linwood Pendleton Ph.d. is an example of such a scientist.

TL;DR What is Hedgefox? Hedgefox is primarily a web-based, mobile-friendly learning platform and eventual DAO that rewards its learners and teachers for participating in the app through issuing crypto tokens and NFT certificates. We hope to help individuals and institutions rethink what higher education could look like - not as a centralized, expensive, and cumbersome machine, but potentially as an open, interactive, and affordable ecosystem of ideas, communities, and investment. What’s the value proposition? What if we could pay students to learn? Hedgefox started with a very simple question - what if you could pay people to learn? What would that do for the well-being of millions of people across the globe? What if we could provide people with more incentive to better themselves without sacrificing their financial stability? The result would be a positive-sum game wherein students, teachers, employers, institutions, and investors are all able to benefit from a learning ecosystem that is both sustainable and profitable. Thanks to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, we are able to build systems that make this possible. As we have seen in new innovations such as DeFi, gaming, and NFTs, blockchain tech opens up a new paradigm that allows the users to control and benefit from complex systems rather than a select few. In the same way that blockchain has decentralized finance, art, companies, and entertainment, so it can decentralize education without negatively impacting the existing institutions and ecosystem. Project Goals The Hedgefox purpose is to build a sustainable and profitable informal social learning platform that results in both a financially positive-sum game for all stakeholders and competent and compassionate problem solvers. While there are a myriad of goals that could be pursued by the Hedgefox project, there are 4 primary problems we’ve framed as goals that we feel are both attainable and within the scope of blockchain technology. These are: Reduce student debt across a variety of sectors. This includes higher education, professional education, and social education. Enact universal, verifiable credentials that are stored on-chain. These take the form of personalized NFTs that can be used for professional or educational purposes. Reduce knowledge silos. Knowledge is often hidden and contained within select institutions, but open education is helping to change this. Create a framework for creating high-quality, peer-reviewed content. Starting with informal and social learning, Hedgefox hopes to be a hub for institutions, learners, faculty, employers, and investors to create incredible content through community consensus. Background The proliferation of Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, and other short-form content has exacerbated the attention deficit we experience in our lives. As a result, the way we learn as humans is fundamentally changing as well. People find it more difficult to not only find time to learn, but they also demand the flexibility to do it anywhere and at their own pace. Many people unknowingly have created their own personal learning networks (PLNs) through community tools such as Discord, Telegram, Twitter, Reddit, Quora, and niche email newsletters. These micro-learning environments are difficult to quantify and even more difficult to reproduce effectively in traditional education. Taking Cues Hedgefox seeks to take cues from these trends and build a learning platform that hinges on threaded short-form content. Such content should be both easily consumable and incredibly rewarding for the learner. By combining communal, short-form content types, we hope to intentionally create an informal learning platform that is impactful and high-quality - something that is highly elusive within traditional pedagogy. We believe the best learning occurs when learners are self-directed, in community with others, and have the opportunity to engage with high-quality content tailored to their interests. Cool, but what does that look like? If you've ever used Twitter, you know that many people are obsessed with making threads of tweets for people to read. There is even a Twitter thread unroller app that you can use to read threaded tweets more like a book. What we discovered is that there is an immense amount of knowledge buried in short-form content like this on sites like Twitter, Reddit, Quora, and even TikTok. By providing a similar, yet expanded experience to learners, we hope to incentivize learners to create and learn from a community of people while being rewarded to do so. The platform will utilize a hierarchical system comprised of Creds (as opposed to threads 😆), Pages, and Blocks. Each Cred will be centered around a topic or competency for learners to engage with. Within each Cred are various Pages or sub-topics. Within each Page, is a list of content Blocks such as text, links, videos, audio clips, and questions. By structuring content in this way, learners are able to clearly see what they are learning and how the concepts interplay. Additionally, each Page will eventually have a discussion area where users can comment and discuss about the content. Providing a space for interaction allows learners to hear different perspectives and perhaps make lasting professional connections with others. Mobile-First Creating a platform with priorities on mobile responsiveness and accessibility is paramount for Hedgefox. Focusing on developing a mobile-first platform has several important motivators: The majority of the world has a cell phone, but far fewer people have access to internet and a desktop or laptop computer. Being mobile-first allows us to reach those who will value access to education the most. The majority of all social experiences take place on mobile. Hedgefox seeks first to become a social learning platform for adoption purposes so mobile-first makes sense. Mobile learning is increasingly a more common way to consume content and interact with educational content. Learners demand the flexibility and agency that mobile-first platforms offer. The HFOX Token Technicals The native utility, incentivization, and governance token for Hedgefox is HFOX - an ERC20 token on the Ethereum mainnet. While operating smart-contracts on Ethereum mainnet is not ideal in terms of speed or transaction cost, it does provide our users with the best experience for cashing out their earnings and transferring them among wallets and exchanges. It also ensures future interoperability with other blockchains through Ethereum bridges, oracles, and other blockchain solutions. Should the future DAO vote to create a standalone blockchain network, ERC20 standards make this migration much easier. Additionally, building on Ethereum mainnet also ensures compatibility with a variety of industry standard wallets and dApps. With the introduction of the Ethereum Consensus Layer, adoption of Ethereum is likely to become highly mainstream, ensuring a robust ecosystem for HFOX holders to participate in for years to come. Burning and Minting The foundation for Hedgefox's unique tokenomics is a delicate balance of the minting and burning of tokens. This mechanism aims to keep the supply of learners balanced with the token supply, always ensuring the protocol is able to pay its participants without creating rampant inflation or diluting current holders. By burning and minting tokens based on completion rates, it is possible to create a sustainable payout system that leverages supply/demand and user incentive to maintain a balance between token supply, token price, and user supply. The burn rate and mint rate are levers that the protocol and eventual DAO has at its disposal to maintain stability and sustainability. These rates are based on the total reserve amount left so that theoretically, the Reserves are never depleted. Initial Burn Rate per block per Start: %0.00001 of Reserves Initial Reward Rate per block per Completion: **%**0.00001 of Reserves Initial Mint Rate per block per Completion: %0.000025 of Reserves The mint rate will always need to be at least double the burn and reward rates in order to replace tokens that are burned/rewarded, but this can also be decided on by the DAO in the future. The protocol only mints tokens when there are more cred completions than cred starts. User Flow and Process When a user begins a cred on the platform (either learning, teaching, or peer-reviewing), it is marked in their user record that a certain amount of tokens should be burned from the Hedgefox Reserves - the actual burn takes place later. This decreases the remaining supply and slightly increases the value of the remaining tokens. The more people who begin creds, the more tokens will be burned. As the price per token increases so does the incentive to complete the cred, because... Once a user completes a cred, it is marked in their user record that tokens should be minted to the Hedgefox Reserves and the majority of those tokens be rewarded to the user - the actual payout and mint takes place later. As more users complete courses, the supply of the token increases which decreases the price of the remaining tokens (inflation). Thus, if cred completion rates remain high for extended periods of time, HFOX token will become inflationary. If completion remains low, the HFOX token becomes deflationary as people start or abandon creds without completing them. Initial Distribution The initial and maximum supply of the HFOX token is 1.65 billion. And is distributed as follows: Non-Fungible Token Certificates Non-fungible tokens serve as a valuable technology in the Hedgefox ecosystem. When a user completes a credential in any way as a learner, faculty, or peer-reviewer, an NFT is minted on the Hedgefox credential NFT contract and sent to their wallet. The minted NFT contains attributes about the credential, the Hedgefox user who completed it, when it was completed, and other important information. The new NFT serves as an immutable badge that the Hedgefox user can show to potential employers, colleagues, or other learners. Because of blockchain technology, even if the credential NFT is sold, lost, or burned, it will always be able to be verified that the user completed the credential. Moreover, NFTs are easily shareable, easily displayed, and easily verified through platforms such as OpenSea, TofuNFT, Zapper, or other wallets. Users will be able to see and share Hedgefox credentials in the Hedgefox app as well. NFT's also open the door to solving a major issue in academia by providing verifiable, universal credentialing that can be published, transferred, and verified by any institution or organization. This eliminates major complications for several stakeholders: It becomes easier for learners to transfer credits across institutions. It becomes easier for employers to verify an applicants transcripts. It becomes easier for institutions to publish and track learner and faculty achievements. It allows Hedgefox to formally recognize strategic partners and generous donors through limited edition tokens.",2022-08-11T12:24:27.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7073,True,False,0xfAbEef09B6a14c380e7798B434A058Dbb1F215b2,Good Science Project,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7073/good-science-project,"Goal: The goal of the Good Science Project is better science funding in the United States that leads to faster scientific innovation than the status quo.  That is, science funding should:  Be more streamlined with fewer administrative burdens;  Have less focus on incremental advances based on preliminary results, and more willingness to consider high-risk projects, open-ended exploration of basic science, etc.;  Offer more funding for a person/team over longer time frames, rather than narrowly specified projects over short time frames; and,  Be more open to areas outside of the current status quo.  These ideas can be reduced to specific policy proposals depending on what is politically feasible.  Strategy and Activities: Our theory of change is that compelling public communication over the long term can be very influential to steer public discourse and policy conversations. Our communications will take numerous forms – white papers, essays and blog posts, op-eds, social media, and interviews with practicing scientists. As well, we're co-sponsoring a conference this fall with Brookings and the Institute for Progress on a problem that Stuart identified (the NIH hasn't been using an advisory board that Congress mandated as a way to achieve reform). As Jack Clark from Anthropic says, “People wildly underestimate how much influence individuals can have in policy. I've had a decent amount of impact by just turning up and working on the same core issues (measurement and monitoring) for multiple years.” A secondary work product is interaction with policymakers, whether at agencies, Congress, or the White House. Our key advisers include former White House and NSF personnel, and a number of policymakers (from ARPA-H to congressional staff) have asked us for advice and ideas. Personnel: The Good Science Project is led by Stuart Buck. He spent 9 years as the VP of Research at Arnold Ventures, where he led internationally-renowned work on scientific reproducibility, including strategizing the launch of the Center for Open Science, the TOP Guidelines, Vivli, and more. He was an expert adviser to the GAO on its recent report on improving federally-funded research. He has lectured at DARPA and IARPA, and has authored pieces in Science and Nature, on how to improve research. Eric Gilliam is a Fellow of the Good Science Project, and has done extensive work analyzing science policy. In the near future, we hope to hire a Senior Fellow who can focus on improving how clinical trials are funded and operated.  In the longer term, we hope to hire: Two or three people with experience in science policy and communications, and the gravitas to meet with policymakers.  An administrative person who can do everything from editing articles to planning convenings, and A grant manager to make external grants to like-minded academics and organizations.  Board: Members include Daniel Goroff (Sloan Foundation; formerly Harvard, Harvey Mudd, NSF and White House), Brian Nosek (University of Virginia and Center for Open Science), Chonnettia Jones (President of Addgene), and Michael Stebbins (President of Science Advisers, and formerly at the White House).  External advisors include Prachee Avasthi (Dartmouth; Arcadia Science); Phil Bourne (formerly NIH Assistant Director of Data Science; University of Virginia); Dan Correa (President, Federation of American Scientists); Tyler Cowen (George Mason): Maryrose Franko (Health Research Alliance): Kumar Garg (Schmidt Future; former White House OSTP); Joe Ross (Yale); and Heidi Williams (Stanford).  Operations: The Good Science Project will operate virtually for now. Initial funding is from Patrick Collison, ACX, and the Survival and Flourishing Fund. If future funding is secured on a longer-term basis, we may consider opening a physical office. We are fiscally sponsored by the New Venture Fund so as to become operational more quickly and efficiently.",2022-08-12T07:28:11.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7074,False,False,0x19BD5dF2bd715a83661037302426953EDbC11D07,Dragon Era Online,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7074/dragon-era-online,"Dragon Era Online is an MMORPG available for mobile on Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nedi.game.dragononlinemmorpg It has a small community and is loved by many people.

We're developing a platform for researchers to publish and fund their research, to democratize access to the powerful crypto and DeSci primitives through great and simple UX. You have probably seen our prototype that Balaji Srinivasan shared on Twitter. We're essentially building out the vision that him and many others have laid out, where: – Anyone can access science – Anyone can independently verify research – Anyone can contribute to the public good of science – Nobody can censor it Problem Like most institutions, our systems for science have become ossified and are no longer aligned on progress. Many have been talking about these problems for years, but to give a quick overview: You've probably experienced opening up a research paper and getting hit with a paywall. That's because a few for-profit companies monopolize publication and prestige, and since prestige is the currency of academia, researchers are stuck in a zero-sum competition to publish or perish. The recent case where 16 years of Alzheimer's research was based on falsified data is largely due to these competitive dynamics. Experiment results are faked, ideas are stolen, and researchers aren't open to discussing results in the open, just because they're fighting to survive within this sclerotic system. Solution There are many working on trying to fix the old system, but rather than reform, we're building anew. Researchers are already decentralizing away from academia into DAOs like VitaDAO and PsyDAO, as well as new institutes like New Science and Arcadia Science. Scholar's goal is to create a publication platform for these researchers. A platform where they can: – Publish on-chain – Have immutable backups of their research – Enable anyone to reproduce their results by linking all research artifacts – Evolve beyond the archaic PDF format Society as a whole would then be able to: – Verify research, rather than just ""trusting science"" – Have open access to the public good of science – Build on top of this open knowledge graph Roadmap We're still in the early stages, but this grant money would go towards building out this vision. Here's the rough idea (this is subject to change): 1. Build out the platform and smart contracts We may use the smart contract infrastructure that DeSci Labs is building out if it suits our needs and is flexible enough. 2. Post notable research papers on-chain into a citation graph To show that we can have composable science, just like composable finance, and to tangibly show researchers the benefits of publishing on Scholar. 3. Build the interface needed for researchers to be able to use crypto-native research tools This includes publishing, but may include funding, ideating, collaborating, etc. as well. 4. Simultaneously backfill historical papers So we can get an open graph of all of humanity's knowledge.",2022-08-13T18:05:41.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7083,True,True,0x09c0377BAdCa7349b20569f45f2D94398179Db0c,Mojo,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7083/mojo,"Mojo is an audio/media streaming platform that empowers musicians, artists and content creators through web3 and blockchain technologies using IPFS. The Mojo web3 application allows users to upload their valuable digital assets easily and seamlessly to the IPFS Network via our user interface. Files can never get deleted, hacked, edited, stolen and are never saved to a server making them truly decentralised. IPFS is a wonderful technology as it allows for content ownership, portability, and verifiability. It powers NFT marketplaces, individual websites, file-sharing platforms, and so much more. However, IPFS, the protocol, does not have a responsibility to match the experience of traditional cloud file services. Instead, that responsibility falls onto the shoulders of the IPFS adopters. Mojo helps fill this gap and gives musicians, artists and all content creators an opportunity to broaden their social reach by offering specially crafted audio and media NFTs that allow their followers and subscribers to access special content or unique features they provide. This can include additional videos or written content for example. Creators can Mint NFTs and then add different attributes and values and assign these to the NFT based on the media type. Creators will be able to manage their NFT's metadata using Tableland's relational metadata protocol for EVM chains. This freedom allows creators to update non-essential data, yet keeping the true values of the NFT's in tack and aligned with core NFT standards. Tableland also opens up doors to cross-chain relational data for NFTs and so much more, different content could be linked from the various networks offering users even more value for their hard earned crypto. Music platforms and streaming is not new technology. However, IPFS is still new enough that streaming is not yet native to its content delivery. And that’s exactly why Pinata is releasing streaming video through their Dedicated Gateways. With streaming video in place, those who visit your gateway will no longer have to wait for a video file to download fully before it can be played. Just visit the URL and the video will start streaming, just like you would expect with Netflix or Youtube, just much better. Using this NFT based content, artists can already start offering content to holders using Pinata's Submarine which will be another great feature to integrate. Mojo aims to further it's product by building the following key features in the Mojo web3 application: Artists should be able to upload their content in a secure and friendly manner. Listeners/viewers should be able to view music streams on the platform free of charge The Mojo platform should offer cryptocurrency-based payments to artists and their audiences. Music fans should have full access to their favourite artists with bonus content and features. Upon the purchase of a NFT, smart contracts should automatically process payments of royalty fees to digital artists and content creators. The platform should use blockchain to keep transactions and accounting transparent. The platform should let the artists keep most of the revenue they generate with very small fees to maintain the Mojo geek-o-system. Listeners/viewers shouldn’t have to contend with tacky ads. The platform should consider other monetisation options, For e.g., artists can set up an agreement with their fans to share revenue if fans share music, helping it to reach a wider audience. NFT based content, artist can offer content to holders using the new Pinata Submarine feature.

Large databases containing sensitive PIDI data, managed by the public and private sectors, have been breached, resulting in significant identity theft and monetary loss. The problem persists and continues to grow as the world population grows. Distributed Ledger Blockchain (DLB) technology is an immutable peer-to-peer proof-of-transaction database network system that can resist cyber-attacks on PIDI data by 97%. Additional solutions of value include: lower maintenance costs, lower administrative resources, higher sustainability, and a contact-free method for PIDI data transfer. This technology’s unique trait lies in how it decentralizes PIDI data into a distributed network of ledger copies. This product, currently in the prototype phase, is called the Blockchain Digital Identity Management System (BDIMS). In addition, Blockchain adoption research suggests that, if an end user’s personal beliefs about how they believe their PIDI data should be managed aligns with how Blockchain manages it, then the end-user is significantly more likely to adopt the BDIMS (Sindi, 2019). This is the service side of the business where the Blockchain Adoption Research Framework (Sindi, 2019) is utilized to thoroughly measure the adoption of a BDIMS into a particular context. The application of the BDIMS will be to any type of identification verification and validation process, which may include, but not limited to, voting ballot, refugee geolocation, driver’s license, passport, power of attorney, birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce certificate, escrow, academic transcripts, social security, and property deed official documentation.

At the center of these developments are the communities that have lived in these forests. Project Patamacca Patamacca is a resort in Suriname located in the District of Marowijne, with a total area of 1,183 km2. The resort of Patamacca has historically been inhabited by maroon tribes. According to the last census held in 2020, the area was inhabited by roughly 470 people. This resort's main economic activity came from its local palm oil industry. This industry was destroyed due to the consequences of the Surinamese civil war in the 1980’s. During the 1960’s there was also an attempt at a large forest plantation by Bruynzeel, but that project was abandoned eventually. Besides a large granite mine operated by Grassalco, there are little to no legal and sustainable developments in that area. The China Zhong Hen Tai Company In an attempt to redevelop the resort of Patamacca and its palm oil industry, the government of Suriname signed a deal with the China Zhong Hen Tai (CZHT) company in 2004. In exchange for the development of a palm oil plantation and community investments for the inhabitants of the resort, CZHT was awarded a 520km2 concession and granted an ICL (incidental cutting license). This license gives the holder the ability to cut down all trees in that area, in this case for the development of the palm oil plantation. As things stand there is no palm oil plantation and no job opportunities for the tribes of Patamacca. There is a growing group that now resorts to illegal logging and gold mining. The current sitting government of Suriname has announced it has started the process of withdrawing the license given to CZHT. Information gathered on the company and past government dealings. Resort Patamacca and the CZHT concession (ICL License 32g). gonini.org How we intend to solve the problem We are using blockchain technology as a foundation for the products and services we intend to offer. We believe that this technology will assist in bridging the gap between preservation efforts and sustainable economic growth. Farming as a Service We see Farming as a Service as a great opportunity to bring investment opportunities and create jobs for the people of Patamacca. Through land fractionalization on-chain we could offer plots of land on which the various tribes of Patamacca will use for farming. We aim to partner with several local and international farm companies, that will not only assist in the development of this project but also teach the necessary techniques that are required for in-forest farming. With the assistance of these partners, we can work towards farm products that can be exported throughout the region. Through a user-friendly dashboard, royalties earned and other important information about the plot of land will be displayed. Plots of land would be offered as the project and the demand for the product grows. Our goal is to gradually develop between 5 to 10km2 for the usage of the Farming as a Service model. All funds received through GR15 will be allocated towards building our Farming as a Service model and invest in the necessary infrastructure to further help reach our goal. Forests preservation The remaining land will be preserved and only used for development that directly benefits the tribes of Patamacca. If and when this project is eligible for carbon credits, we will use these funds to help further develop the amenities needed for those living  in Patamacca.

We, Divine pandas are a team of the app and web experts whose only goal is to improve client productivity and business strength by providing affordable and effective marketing solutions. Founder Divya Jyoti Sen and co-founder Jade Lai-ting li started a team of 22 web experts with over 12 years of experience that can provide the best website design, development, and marketing services to grow their client’s business online. Recently we have launched a new platform called Newsmartjob to provide opportunities and freelancing gigs to job seekers in the blockchain industry. Ours is the only blockchain smart contract freelance platform to ever exist. Smart contracts are digital contracts that work on certain terms and conditions to make sure whether an agreement is automatically executed or not. Official contracts like these are necessary to satisfy the freelancers and the clients that their payment and task will be completed satisfactorily.As a freelancer, it’s very important to have trust and transparency with your clients. Because that is the foundation of any successful business. There are numerous platforms out there that help freelancers get good gigs and consistent work. But when it comes to payment, their process is either too slow or clients back out at the last moment.Whatever the reason, freelancers have to suffer in the end. They are overworked and denied their reward, whether intentionally or unintentionally. But this doesn’t happen with Newsmartjob because we use smart contracts like MetaMask to avoid any kind of payment delay. Interestingly, we are the only ones to have this system as of now. MetaMask is a kind of smart contract or a cryptocurrency wallet that singlehandedly works on both desktop and mobile devices. It is popular because of its ability to buy, send and receive cryptocurrency from within the wallet. Smart contracts provide this level of security and safety among job seekers to maintain their trust. With the presence of these digital contracts, it becomes easier for freelancers to provide great value to their clients without any second thoughts. Newsmartjob accepts everyone around the globe to be a part of their platform and earn a consistent income through it. With emerging advanced technologies like these, people can trust freelancing as a legit carrier choice. Just like other jobs, freelancing has its pros and cons but one of its biggest drawbacks was denied payment. Nobody likes losing their hard-earned money. Newsmartjobs understands this pain and agony and their smart contracts act as a painkiller for the same. Please contact us for more details.

The tool will enable every P2E and DeFi community out there to create transparent, engaging and lucrative giveaways for their community, using their own assets as currencies and prizes. About The Web3 Bazaar: Web3 Bazaar is a peer-to-peer exchange for Web3 assets supported by a non-custodial escrow smart contract that allows for swaps between any ERC-20 or NFT token between counter-parties that have already agreed to terms. The project was born in the previous GR14 round and since then we have been serving as the go-to platform for P2P trades amongst P2E communities. Why an open Raffle Ticket protocol? We created a Raffle Tickets smart smart contract as a tool to engage and collab with P2E projects and promote a giveaway of their assets through the Bazaar. Aavegotchi was the first community siding with us and co-launching a Raffle that is up and running on the 2nd half of August with users purchasing tickets with their native currency ($GHST) for a chance to win rare Aavegotchi NFTs. We soon understood that we built a tool that every gaming and DeFi project out there could use so we are turning it into an open protocol in order to: Create transparent giveaways Eliminate the need to manually manage a giveaway Promote transactions with their project assets Be able to monetize an acquisition campaign What will the W3B Raffle Ticket protocol look like? The protocol architecture contains three blocks: No-code dApp to deploy the Raffle on-chain: The interface will request the necessary data to deploy the contract: - Tickets max supply, tickets price, currencies accepted, ticket images, closing date and prizes awarded) The dApp will trigger the Raffle Factory to deploy a new smart contract with the data submitted Raffle Factory Smart Contract: The Core Smart contract will process data sent by the dApp and issue a new smart contract, owned by the user, and prepared to mint new tickets for the input prize Chain-link VRF on-chain lottery The smart contracts will be linked to a Chainlink VRF oracle, ensuring that the raffle is processed automatically and fully on-chain, based on the ticket purchases and wallet addresses.

Consumers will be able to buy and sell tickets to their favorite concerts, sporting events, etc. with either cash or their favorite crypto's (currently Eth and ERC-20 tokens). They will receive their tickets in the form of NFT's. Blockchain tech brings with it the piece of mind that the users tickets are valid, legitimate tickets that can be traced from their initial listing on the CrypTix platform by the event organizers themselves. This aspect is not only appealing to consumers, but also to the event organizers themselves. They can see just how their tickets move throughout the platform. This gives them a clearer depiction of primary sales and in turn secondary resales. It allows transparency for all parties involved. The CrypTix ticketing platform will be built on the Ethereum network and governed by the CrypTix smart contract. All transactions on the platform will involve the native CrypTix token. The token will be a deflationary asset with tokenomics. The tokenomics of the CrypTix token are as follows: For market transactions, a 10% fee 4% redistributed to all holders of the CrypTix token proportional to the amount of the token that they hold 2% sent to the burn address 2% sent to the CrypTix token Liquidity Pool 2% sent to the CrypTix research and development wallet For peer-2-peer transactions, a 5% fee 2% redistributed to all holders of the CrypTix token proportional to the amount of the token that they hold 1% sent to the burn address 1% sent to the CrypTix token Liquidity Pool 1% sent to the CrypTix research and development wallet Roadmap of CrypTix Marketing Campaign Token ICO Marketplace Web App Marketplace Mobile App NFT Marketplace NFTs pegged to tickets and transferable across the Ethereum network See an in depth breakdown of the plans and aspirations of CrypTix on our whitepaper shown at www.cryptixevents.com ",2022-08-16T12:27:55.397-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7105,True,True,0xcCe0AAc6dBe4971ECf5b3dbd13EF93Cb50b379bf,nfty chat,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7105/nfty-chat,"nftychat.xyz is a web3 chat platform built to replace discord.

Open-source software – which was published under free licence and can be used by anyone and for any purpose – has always been a major driver for innovation in the tech sector. Many popular products, such as Linux, Mozilla Firefox and VLC Media Player, were developed as open-source software. Open-source software products have millions of users globally, while thousands of developers use open-source code in their projects. Open-source software is flexible and secure, as it can be audited, fixed and improved by anyone. Now, Alex is being accused of creating open-source code that was used by Tornado Cash, a project under investigation in the US and Europe. But a developer has no control whatsoever over how their open-source code is subsequently used. Therefore, the accusations against Alex threaten to kill the entire open-source software segment. No one will dare to write and publish open-source code, no one will invest in the segment if they could be made responsible for the use of the tool they created by other parties. To stand for developers’ right to create open-source software, you need to act NOW! Help to free innocent person and make your impact in the future of open-source development!

Basing on IOUtokens, ""people's money with feedback"" - SBT (soulbounded tokens). It means  tokenized civil debts receipts, promissory notes, or convertible notes, issued by anyone, anytime, anywhere, & backed by goods & services. The community rates & acts as sureties for responsible issuers so they can qualify for financing. The investor who bought game NFTs wants to get revenue from its renting. But they don't know who comes to rent this NFT because they see just a game account. We trying to  solve this  problem. We offer investors a new instrument of gamer's reputation - the IOU token. At this token saved history of rents, wons (and fails) of this gamer. After every renting period, investors can burn one gamer IOU and rate their results. Everybody can see this rating and feedback. While communicating with the players, we found out that the game guilds need “replenishment” in the form of active and trained players, while new players, “newbies,” face complex rules, and it is difficult for them to understand the winning strategies immediately. We used the soul bounded token (IOUtoken) developed by us, with which the student can pay the teacher. Thus, the teacher becomes interested in teaching students. A teacher later receives students' gaming obligations either as the time of their playing or just sell them. Since the Master spends his time fiddling with the beginner, and the beginner saves time on figuring it all out, he pays the master time with his IOUtoken obligation, and the master writes the beginner's “qualification” there as a recommendation. We are creating a school of reputation capital to teach players how to use SB tokens. We are running a peer-to-peer program to train “newcomers” by already experienced players (“masters”) to earn money in new games and increase their attractiveness as players for investors in P2E. Experienced players can earn extra money by teaching beginners. And beginners quickly master the intricacies of the game. For example: 1. The master recommends NFTs that make sense to buy and rent; 2. The master gives a list of winning combinations and strategies in the game; 3. The master explains the basic principles of the game through NFT combinations (or intelligent action algorithms); 4. You can zoom master and novice and share the game screen to make moves with recommendations; 5. A beginner can send logs of his “fights” to the master and receive comments about what was done wrong; 6. Under the guidance of the master, you can set up some automated options (if there are bots in the game, for example, auto-renewal of the lease, search for a profitable lease, etc.); 7. The master can help them understand the interfaces and features. Also, based on the player’s interest, we are making an exchange (a fork of Uniswap) so that these tokens can be staked and investors, seeing the ratings and achievements of the players, can invest in players, as in a “traditional” sport. We are making an Escrow - a smart contract “for learning” - a student and a teacher exchange obligations for learning and paying by moving them to this smart contract. Tokens move irrevocably. After a period agreed by the parties, each participant gets access to the tokens of the other. Also, gamers can transfer their SBT IOUtokens to each other tokens contract  to make mutual surety. Project currently deployed  on  Moonriver, Polygon, Harmony, Aurora,  Celo and several testchains. In close future - on Heco, BNB  and Fantom.

We don’t know. Why do women go through menopause? We don’t know. Why are women 2x more at risk for Alzheimer’s Disease? We don’t know. What is the long-term impact of hormonal contraceptives? We don’t know. ’We don’t know’ isn’t good enough. What is Repro Grants?  Repro Grants is a “fast grants” program that awards $10K-$100K to ambitious research projects aiming to deepen our understanding of the female reproductive system. We are motivated to learn how our bodies work, so we can develop better diagnostics and interventions to improve women's health outcomes and longevity.  Findings enabled by this program will allow all other researchers and entrepreneurs to build on top of the knowledge and further expedite the overlooked field. To enable open science, we first need science. Hence, unlocking funding for basic research is a crucial first step toward a thriving open science ecosystem that supports women’s reproductive health solutions. All manuscripts reporting work supported by the grant will be uploaded to a preprint server such as bioRxiv or arXiv or even Desci nodes upon submission. We don’t want to delay the impact of the work by long publication cycles! It’s hard to get funding for novel and experimental research. We're making the application and review process efficient (the application form takes ~30 minutes to complete and the applicant will get a decision within 21 days) so scientists can focus on what matters the most –- doing the science. We’re embarrassingly late. Since the Hippocratic oath, the male body has been the “medical norm”. Only in 1993 did the NIH, the primary federal agency for supporting medical science, first mandate that clinical trials should be run on both men and women. Unfortunately, this law only applied to NIH grantees and not the pharma industry which is responsible for more than 90% of trials. This means that modern medicine is based on research almost exclusively done on male bodies, with severe implications on women’s health outcomes:  ⇨ We overmedicate women. Most drugs have a 'one-size-fits-all' dosage despite obvious sex differences e.g. body fat composition. A study found that over 96% of common drugs (like aspirin) are prescribed to women in too high doses leading to excess side effects. ⇨ We misdiagnose women. Across 700 diseases women are on average diagnosed significantly later than men. For example, a woman having a heart attack is 50% more likely to get the wrong diagnosis due to differences in symptoms and sensitivity to commonly used diagnostics. ⇨ We ignore female anatomy. It was only in 1998 that Helen O'Connell discovered that the clitoris is not just a tiny bulb at the top of the vulva but about a 10-cm long internal structure. That’s almost 30 years after humans landed on Mars! Apparently, the vulva is more inaccessible than Mars. Although progress is evident, female-specific conditions remain secondary research subjects. Nowhere is this as clear as in the field of reproductive health. As of 2022, it takes on average 10 years to get diagnosed with endometriosis, an excruciatingly painful condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) starts to grow outside of the uterus. The cause and cure for endometriosis remain a mystery to modern medicine.  And if you aren’t convinced yet, in the last two decades we have churned 5.5x more studies about male infertility than female infertility. Not to mention that in 2019 alone, the number of publications on male erectile dysfunction surpassed studies on female fertility by nearly 6-fold. We have centuries worth of research to catch on to properly understand how the bodies of half of the world’s population work. Why do we need Repro Grants?  Relatively small sums of capital are directed towards supporting fundamental research for women’s reproductive health. About 15% of all NIH funding goes to women’s health (2018 data). This capital allocation does not take into consideration or intend to correct the hundreds of years lag in women’s health research.  Beyond the capital dilemma, the mechanisms for accessing funding are too slow. It is estimated that leading researchers spend up to 50% of their time writing grant applications. We want to offer an alternative; a fast and efficient process for getting access to crucial funding, so scientists can focus on what matters the most — doing the science. We are starting with a quick experiment; deploying $1M in Fast Grant Round 1. We will take the learnings and hope to increase the scale and velocity of the funding in future rounds.

Imagine it is 1952, Rosalind Franklin is generating X-ray crystallographic images in King’s College London. Two researchers at Cambridge, Francis Crick and James Watson, will eventually make use of one of these images (photo 51) to propose the famous double helical structure of DNA. We have built so many tools in genetic engineering that rely on this specific knowledge. What if in 1952, Watson and Crick could sell their [read Rosalind Franklin’s] photo 51 to the science enthusiasts in a public auction? Would you collect it? Now, go back a little further in time to 1866: Gregor Mendel, a monk working in a monastery, published a work using peas to describe how the heredity is transmitted in discrete unit — this unassuming work would eventually form the foundation of genetics as we know it today. What if your great grandfather who was then a farmer with an interest in Mendel’s work with peas bought the picture sold by Mendel in 1866? About 3 generations later you would realise that your great grandfather collected the original copy of one of the finest works of science in history. Any piece of original scientific finding auctioned in such a way at the time of the discovery will of course have a huge collectible value. Moreover, it gives back to science in a small way — for instance, it could have funded Mendel’s next follow up experiments which he probably never got around doing because of lack of funds. Most importantly, this concept contributes to increasing public awareness and engagement in Science at a scale that was not possible before — by encouraging general public to actively participate in the ongoing research and collect the findings while giving back to the scientific community in whatever small way possible. This is now possible to implement easily as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have verifiable ownership and can be easily be stored, displayed, transferred and traded. Another fun part is that unlike a lot of the projects creating artificial use cases for NFTs based on limited supply and artificial rarity in their collection, the Sciverse collection does not need such artificial scarcity or rarity elements associated with it— it naturally evolves over time based on how the underlying scientific works stand the test of time. Your collectible might win a Noble prize but it might also fail the rigour of scientific reproducibility — and only this will determine how sought after your collectible will be in the future. What is the Sciverse collection about? Sciverse selects the best contemporary scientific works and mints its representative art work (microscopic images or videos/ piece of data/ abstract illustration) as a collectible work of sciart. Every artwork represents a published digital object identifier (DOI) or equivalent. This artwork lives forever on a decentralised public blockchain for generations to see. This collection can be viewed here: https://opensea.io/thesciverse What is the Sciverse Museum? Using the aforementioned collection, Sciverse organizes thematic (neuroscience to evolution to astronomy) exhibitions in the metaverse. This is organized in the Sciverse Museum, the first contemporary science museum in the metaverse: https://thesciverse.xyz/ Currently on display are the genesis pieces in the Genesis Hall which focus on the past. Moving forward, the focus will shift to the present — scientific works of today. With this, we are introducing an exciting new approach to science popularisation! The first two halls to open after the Genesis Hall are the Curie Hall and the Levi-Montalcini Hall which will be focussed on cancer/ cell biology and neuroscience, respectively. Who can contribute to Sciverse? Researchers and artists can pitch any work published in 2021 or after to be part of the Sciverse collection of contemporary science. Researchers are welcome to submit their own works of science with a related image or media that they want us to use to represent the work. Artists are welcome to submit illustrations depicting a particular scientific discovery through an artist’s eye. Here is the form to make a new submission: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScxHtygAEe73nVPtw_0Iq-5PXOozYNoBm704YlsdB9Pg7EmIw/viewform?usp=send_form How do you plan to use the funds raised by selling the pieces? Currently, we do not sell the sciart pieces. Our primary goal is to curate and display the best works of science for generations to see (no profit intended!). However, if and when your submission is sold, you will receive 90% of the primary sale proceeds to your ethereum address provided in the form. You can use this to do more cool science/ sciart works if you like! We think giving funds back to the people who do amazing work is the best way to support innovation. As for the remaining 10% , in the early days we hope that it will help Sciverse to self-sustain (it is currently a fully self-funded project at the time of writing). If and when Sciverse collection is able to move a lot of volume, we might use a part of the Sciverse treasury to fund public good projects related to science. Guess who will decide which project/s to fund? The holders of the Sciverse collectibles, of course! In this way, we hope to become a thriving ecosystem for public engagement in science focussed on both science education and funding through sciart in the interconnected halls of the Sciverse. Sounds interesting? Join us! See you in the Sciverse.

Users can privately manage all their digital IDs through a single wallet independently of underlying infrastructure or network. Webapps can connect to single SDK to authenticate and verify users’ IDs through their favourite protocols and networks. About WalliD WalliD was founded at the end of 2018 by Filipe Veiga and Vitor Viana with the purpose to build self-sovereign tools for non-financial assets (a.k.a Identities and certificates). Digital IDs are taking over the internet in this decade, pushed by different agents with different goals in mind. Governments are rolling out centralized infrastructures to issue digital certificates for their citizens while the web3 industry is building an alternative reputation system, based on decentralised infrastructures and digital credentials. None of them is going away anytime soon so our mission became to make sure that users would keep the ability to manage all of them in a private and secure way and Webapps would be able to seamlessly choose which protocols and IDs will be used to verify their users’ identities. Where we are now During the last couple of years we have been fully focused on building the underlying infrastructure of our toolkit that today is composed of: 📇  ID protocol SDKs - To connect centralized or decentralized ID protocols with WalliD ecosystem and make they assets accessible by users and WebApps (the government Portuguese ID issuer was the first integrating with the toolkit) ✅ Verifier SDKs - To provide WebApps an easy way to authenticate users and verify identities from any ID protocol or network connected to the ecosystem (DocuSign was the first webapp integrating with WalliD to provide ther users the ability to sign documents with ETH addresses) 👛 WalliD wallet - Self-sovereign Ehereum wallet to authenticate users on web2 or web3 apps , to locally store the keys to access ID assets from multiple protocols and to provide proofs-of-ids based on those assets. Our roadmap of integrations ahead: Lukso Network - We are currently participating in their hackathon to integrate WalliD wallet as the native wallet to and to provide bridge for all their assets and smart contract standards with all other EVM networks. Proof-of-Humanity - In September we’ll be integrating the protocol to enable WalliD users to bring their PoH into the wallet and use it in combination with proofs-of ownership over other IDs. PolygonID - In October we'll be focused on making sure our toolkit is connected to PolygonID, making our wallet compatible with their ZK protocol and making it easier for their users to connect with it without the need of a specific new PolygonID wallet and app EBSI - We’ll submit WalliD wallet for the conformity test, ensuring a certified compatibility with W3C standard for digital credentials and the compliance for legacy and government related use cases. Ceramic Network - Ceramic is one of the most used ID protocol in the web3 and it also relies on W3C standard for their decentralized credentials. After the EBSI conformity we'll connect our wallet to the protocol, ensuring most ID protocols and networks are covered by our toolkit and dApps or Webapps have a single SDK to integrate and customise the ID verification experience for their users. The scope of GR15 - WalliD wallet Even though WalliD is a toolkit with many components we’re submitting our fully open-source wallet for this round.

Our team has deployed the New Atlantis Living Oceans Metagenome Assembly Pipeline beta (LOMAP) which describes the full genome taxonomic profile and relative abundance of the planktonic species detected in DNA from ocean water samples.  This  creates ecological taxonomic “fingerprints” of the planktonic species present and can be used to gain insights into the structure and metabolic health of planktonic food webs.  Plankton make up 90%+ of the biomass in the oceans and form the basis of marine biodiversity & marine food webs.   See below or our GitHub for details or to try out our colab notebooks.  LOMAP beta includes the following: Decentralized Compute on Data architecture for next-gen DeSci workflows using large-scale metagenomics datasets and open AI/HPC scaling tools such as Ray Stable + reproducible cloud deployments and data storage through open protocols for reliable and scalable bioinformatics use Unified data platform for translational analysis and model building that enables an ensemble meta-omics approach to development of biodiversity metrics + analyses Future developments will focus on cutting edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) that enables New Atlantis to scale massive full metagenome datasets while benefiting from declining cost curves in sequencing, storage, and cloud compute. Photo used with permission by Paul Nicklen, co-founder of SeaLegacy.org, New Atlantis Founding Advisor, NatGeo Contributor, Instagram  BIODIVERSITY QUANTIFICATION APPROACH: Quantifying marine biodiversity is a complex challenge that will ultimately require an ensemble of various open  “meta-omics” approaches.  Below is a high level summary of our current thinking.  Healthy marine ecosystems are a global public good.  We invite the global ocean community to collaborate with us to improve our methodology and share in the value created.   Metagenomics: together with metabarcoding, metagenomics provides the foundational layer for biodiversity quantification of natural environments. Specifically,  detailed taxonomic description and metabolic/physiological potential of ecosystems can be achieved via metagenomics data analysis. See our beta MTG pipeline to learn more. Biodiversity Metamodel: Based on metagenomic datasets, we will extract a wide array of well established biodiversity indexes/descriptors, which will be used as the starting point for building an open biodiversity metamodel framework. This will consist of an ensemble of different types of marine ecosystem biology models with various capabilities to integrate metagenomics-derived biodiversity indexes/descriptors to compute confidence intervals for outputs associated with ecosystem health, including primary productivity, carbon sequestration efficiency and fish stock productivity. GR15 GRANT GOALS: GR15 grant proceeds will be used to expand development of our metagenome pipeline, develop initial DNA sampling programs in pilot MPAs, expand NGS infrastructure & support, and help develop open working groups for marine biodiversity standards and metamodel.   Please consider making a grant to help support our efforts to provide the oceans with a viable business model by enabling marine biodiversity and blue carbon markets.  We would love to give any of our donors a shoutout.  If you want to come build with us, please check out our GitHub, Twitter,  and Discord Photo used with permission by Cristina Mittermeier, co-founder of SeaLegacy.org, UN SDG14 Ambassador, New Atlantis Founding Advisor, Instagram  ""New Atlantis is compelling because of the mix of scientific rigor, courageous innovation, and paradigm shifting focus on what matters most: life.  Marine life is the unspoken and unsung driver of planetary health, and will be the foundation for planetary regeneration as we evolve our economy from degen to regen."" -Gregory Landua, CEO of Regen Network Want to learn more?  Join our Discord, check out our Github, Follow us on Twitter, and see our Blue Paper (yes, a bad ocean metaphor-pun on whitepaper) below 👇 NEW ATLANTIS BLUE PAPER: 👇👇👇 Photo used with permission by Paul Nicklen, co-founder of SeaLegacy.org, New Atlantis Founding Advisor, NatGeo Contributor, Instagram ABOUT NEW ATLANTIS  New Atlantis is an open ocean regeneration project that seeks to address biodiversity loss in our oceans by providing a viable business model to Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).  We do this by building an open marine biodiversity analytics platform to monitor and forecast the health of Marine Protected Areas and from which marine biocredits and blue carbon credits can be generated.   These credits form the basis of a marine biodiversity market where MPAs can sell credits generated based on the biodiversity, biomass abundance, and life-driven blue carbon in their waters.    This market provides MPAs with sustainable revenue streams that grow as conservation efforts and positive ecological outcomes increase.  By providing MPAs with a viable business model that aligns with their core mission of ocean protection, New Atlantis can help scale marine biodiversity protection efforts worldwide while also enabling massive new markets for ocean ecological assets.   We are using DeSci-driven metagenomics and related ecological modeling techniques combined with leading edge regenerative finance and web3 collaboration tools to build out the foundation of our open marine biodiversity analytics platform.   We know this is an enormous, ambitious undertaking.  We don't think we can do this alone.  So we are developing an open, collaborative platform that rewards meaningful contributions from ocean science, ReFi, DeSci (ReSci!!), conservation, and indigenous communities,  as well as from ocean-concerned citizens.  New Atlantis believes there is an opportunity to harness the collective intelligence of the global ocean community to align profit incentives with the protection + regeneration of the global marine biosphere.   Our goal is to make investing in the protection and expansion of sustainable marine ecosystems an extremely profitable global growth opportunity that can generate financial wealth for humans by improving the ecological health of the oceans.   We invite the global ocean community to come collaborate with us at discord.gg/NewAtlantis  #DeSci, #ReFi and #ReSci ftw!

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are the national parks of the ocean.  MPAs have been recognized as the most effective way to regenerate life in our oceans,  life which not only sequesters vast amounts of carbon but also serves as the foundation of our foodweb.  According to the United Nations, we must have 30% of the oceans fully protected in MPAs by 2030 in order to allow for ocean restoration by 2050 and avoid collapse of the food web.  Today, only approximately 8.1% of the oceans are currently protected in MPAs (and of that only 2.4% is in MPAs with the needed  “no take” or “full protection” status).  The vast majority of MPAs lack an adequate funding model to meet their conservation and enforcement goals due to reliance on often precarious government funding and philanthropy.  Under- and unfunded MPAs are “paper parks” - protected in name only - where illegal fishing, coastal erosion, and pollution continue unchallenged.  We need a better way to incent the rapid creation and sustainable expansion of MPAs.   Figure 2: (https://mpatlas.org/)  To meet the UN Sustainability Goal of 30% with real protection by 2030 in MPAs, we will need to 13x the amount of “fully or highly protected” ocean area in MPAs.  The majority of these MPAs will likely exist in the Global South.  Given deglobalization, energy shortages, expected food shortages, and inflation; it is hard to imagine that MPAs in Global South / Emerging Markets will be able to meet the funding needs to 13x effective coverage area.   photo used with permission by Paul Nicklen, co-founder of SeaLegacy.org, New Atlantis Founding Advisor, NatGeo Contributor, Instagram  “I am completely behind New Atlantis for a simple, timeless reason: We cannot “fix” climate change, we can only create more life. That is what we do.”  -Paul Hawken, environmentalist, author, activist, New Atlantis Founding Advisor  Without MPAs, the ability of global ocean ecosystems to regenerate is severely limited.  MPAs provide a necessary- and economically beneficial- way for nature to provide a sustainable future for both marine life and for humanity.  Protecting and increasing ocean life protects us all.   If we protect MPAs, the economic benefits will vastly outweigh the costs, generating new wealth for humanity, as well as providing food security, avenues for new pharmaceuticals, ecotourism, improved fisheries, and protection for coastal communities.  MARINE BIODIVERSITY, CARBON, & CLIMATE CHANGE: WHY PROTECTING LIFE IN THE OCEANS IS CRITICAL Photo used with permission by Octavio Aburto, PhD, Professor of Biological Oceanography, Scripps, Founding New Atlantis Advisor,  Instagram “Mapping the amount and richness of species and ecosystems, biodiversity, and valuing the services they provide to humanity, including carbon sequestration and storage, must be the base of our new economic systems.”  -Octavio Aburto, PhD, Professor of Biological Oceanography, Scripps, New Atlantis Founding Advisor Our world faces twin challenges from climate change and rapid biodiversity loss.  These are both massive risks to the health and prosperity of our civilization as well as the ecological health of the planet. They are also deeply intertwined issues because loss of biodiversity not only reduces our ability to overcome climate change, it also threatens global life support systems like oxygen production, food production, and general ecological resilience. We are in the midst of a 6th extinction and time is running out.  But if we protect and expand biodiversity (and marine biomass), we can not only save the incredible beauty of our living oceans, we can build a more sustainable and abundant future.   Photo used with permission by Paul Nicklen, co-founder of SeaLegacy.org, New Atlantis Founding Advisor, NatGeo Contributor, Instagram  The total value of biodiversity-driven ocean ecosystem services is valued at USD$ 29.5 trillion per year (Ocean and Climate Platform) So how exactly does marine biodiversity help avoid climate change and provide so much economic benefit?  Beyond the priceless inherent value of the beauty in our living oceans, marine biodiversity serves humanity and the global biosphere in three primary ways: Ecosystem Resilience:  As Emmett Duffy, Director of the  Smithsonian Institution's Tennenbaum Marine Observatories Network and MarineGEO program explains, “The more species—or diversity—you have in a system, the more that diversity buffers you from variation in the environment, just like a diverse stock portfolio buffers you from variance in the economy.”  IOW, biodiversity = resilience and we need that resilience to minimize how an increasingly volatile climate impacts our civilization.  Marine Ecosystem Services: Marine ecosystem services, such as storm or coastal erosion mitigation, viable  fisheries, ecotourism, providing essential food sources for 3 billion people, 50% of global oxygen production, and bioprospecting for new products + medicines are some of the quantifiable benefits healthy marine ecosystems provide and upon which humanity depends.  The ability of ecosystems to function is often directly dependent on the biodiversity of those ecosystems.  Destroy the diversity and the ability to adapt and/or provide those services is also diminished or destroyed.  Ralph Chami, IMF economist and pioneer in the development of nature (biodiversity) markets estimates the value of global ocean biodiversity-driven ecosystem services to be ~$30 Trillion/year.  So, there is a LOT of value at risk if we fail to protect marine biodiversity BUT there is also tremendous wealth to be generated by creating markets that align value creation with marine ecological health. Carbon Storage + Sequestration:  The oceans are estimated to hold 16X as much carbon as ALL terrestrial ecosystems and soil combined in long term storage.  Additional carbon is sequestered in the oceans (aka ""blue carbon"") primarily thru either the ""physical pump"", a geochemical process where C02 dissolves directly in seawater, or the marine ""biological carbon pump"" where carbon is removed from the atmosphere by phytoplankton to photosynthesize. Because dissolving CO2 in seawater increases ocean acidification, the preferred sustainable and scalable way to sequester more carbon in the oceans is via the marine biological carbon pump. As life in the oceans increases, more life is fixed in the living bodies of those marine organisms (life is made of carbon).  Those organisms both poop and eventually die. Their fecal pellets and dead bodies then sink to the bottom as carbon-rich “marine snow”, eventually becoming part of the deep-sea sediment.  In this way, carbon is “pumped” at massive scale to more permanent storage in the deep oceans where it can safely remain for centuries.  Abrupt changes to biodiversity in marine ecosystems can ripple throughout the ocean’s food chain and affect many other species, including humans. By understanding sources and drivers of marine biodiversity, we can better protect our marine ecosystems, the services they provide, and the ocean’s ability to help us deal with climate change.  Nature in the form of marine biodiversity can be humanity’s partner to help us build a better, more healthy world.  Photo used with permission by Octavio Aburto, PhD, Professor of Biological Oceanography, Scripps, Founding New Atlantis Advisor,  Instagram Why Focus on Plankton First? While they may seem inconsequential, plankton comprise 90% of marine biomass, are the main driver of the marine biological carbon pump, produce 50% of global oxygen, and are the foundation of the global food web. They are also incredibly diverse and provide much of the foundation for marine ecosystem resilience.  Understanding healthy planktonic ecosystems is the key to scalable ecological resilience and the creation of marine biodiversity markets which can value life so that it can flourish to the benefit of all. Over time, we will expand to include organisms all the way up to whales in our MTG analyses but we are starting with the prime movers of ocean ecology, the small but mighty plankton Photo used with permission by Octavio Aburto, PhD, Professor of Biological Oceanography, Scripps, Founding New Atlantis Advisor, Instagram “Phytoplankton are the original oxygenators of our planet and are central to sustainment of life in the ocean and on land.

We all know privacy has been the big issue always and web3 has been looking like the safe-haven for everyone. The only problem is, developers haven't yet really delivered the promise of web3 and blockchain powered solutions.  We have taken upon ourselves to start filling the gaps by developing privacy conscious siblings of the Web2 products. Shorty has a few basic features; 1. URL shortener 2. Self-destructing notes 3. Scheduled private messages 4. Developer API On the above, only number 3 does not sound so obvious, let me explain. Imagine if you could send your future self a note and at the same be 100% sure that only you can open that message. The core of Shorty is a distributed smart contracts engine that uses multi-part computation to reconstruct that message you sent your future self. Let's look at a different use, you want to write your will but do not want other to read it before some given date. The Shorty smart contracts will lock up the message and they will not be able to reconstruct the will until all conditions have been satisfied(the wallet that minted the message can adjust the conditions though). This privacy is enforced through the concept of storing messages in the smart contracts themselves, as opposed to storing them on an external service and then pulling them per need. $SHORTS is a utility token used to pay for actions perfomed on the platform. Creating a short URL will cost $SHORTS, and so will creating self-destructing notes and scheduled messages. In addition, qouta for the developer API will also be given in $SHORTS. It necessarily is the currency of Shorty.  We would want to use funding to secure talent that is more experienced in cryptography and secure multiparty computation that we are.

In the context of pastures/grasslands, they are susceptible to overgrazing, which can lead to a tragedy of the commons. In the case of pastures, land degradation to the point no herder and their flock can graze. In the context of RPCs, end-users overloading a public RPC service, preventing others from using it too and reducing performance for all parties, pushing them towards private, usually centralized and rent seeking, providers.   Overgrazing without replenishment can lead to excess emissions resulting in sell-pressure, driving down the value of the POKT token and thereby the funds the DAO receives to maintain and improve the protocol - an increasingly problematic ""free-rider"" issue.

Problem: ENS & Web3 Content ""Findability"" There is a problem with the ""findability"" of ENS & Web3 content. There is not a lot of quality content available for new users entering Web3, or for existing users. This lack of quality content results in a lack of good websites or answers in search engines, like Google or DuckDuckGo. Everyday, new users are entering Web3, and they need to be able to find useful Web3 answers and helpful ENS content. It is critical that new users can find good data and quality content in search engines and via Web3 social media, which connects users and industry commentary, to point all users in the right direction. 2. Solution: The ""Web3Domains.com"" Project Web3Domains.com is a project seeking grants to pay content writers and other human resources to create content and publish information for ""Web3 users, Google SEO, and social media platforms"". The goals of the project are to drive awareness by increasing desired-searchable information, driving needed visibility in Google-SEO for topics related to ""decentralized domains, Web3 domains and identity"", with a particular focus on the ENS Protocol and the ENS DAO, and driving Web3 community discussion via social media platforms. The Web3Domains.com project plans to simplify the discovery process for users new to the ""Web3, NFT/Crypto, and Web3 Domain"" industries, by publishing timely and quality information across Web2 and Web3 social media platforms. These activities will include social-audio discussions via Twitter spaces and Clubhouse, to help raise awareness for users during their discovery process. 3. Soft launch & Strategic Assets: Success & Strength Note: To date during our soft-launch, the Web3Domains.com project has connected with scores of independent Web3 content creators, and has published nearly two dozen articles from eight different Web3 writers and reporters. Not only has this provided several important pieces of content for new key subjects, but this has also contributed to eight new builder-creators, working independently in the Web3 and ENS industry. The main domain, web3domains.com, is a strategic asset as it contains the exact match for one of the industry's most important SEO keywords. This will help new users find needed information more easily during their discovery-journey. Web3Domains.com will serve the ""Web3, NFT/Crypto, & Domain"" industries, with a focus on the intersection between Metaverse and NFTs with Web3 Domains, such as the ENS protocol.  4. Project S.W.O.T.: Advantages & Challenges Competitors for content generation are thin for Web3 domains, specifically, so the primary competitors for the Web3Domains.com website come from the broader crypto-publications, are other content generating websites, which focus on the crypto industry in general. Web3Domains.com has a competitive advantage over these websites in several areas. First, Web3Domains.com has a strong focus on decentralized domains and web3 domains, while its competitors have a broader focus on the crypto industry as a whole. Second, Web3Domains.com has a team with experience in marketing-technology, giving an edge in content creation and SEO. Third, Web3Domains.com has premium domain name assets, which will help it to be more visible in search engine results. Finally, Web3Domains.com has a standing in the Web3 industry, which gives it access to timely and quality information.  Web3Domains.com may face some challenges when entering the marketplace. First, the project is competing against well-established websites with large audiences. Second, the project is focused on a niche market, which may make it difficult to attract a broad audience. Third, the project is new to the industry and may not have the same level of credibility as its competitors. However, the project plans to overcome these challenges by producing high-quality content, using SEO to improve its visibility, and building relationships with key players in the industry. 5. The Project Team: Founding Members The project is led by Gary Palmer Jr. (GaryPalmerJr.eth), CEO, and Adriana Skura-Palmer (AKA: Ada.eth; UnfoldedLife.eth), COO. Gary Palmer Jr. is a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in marketing, sales, and business development, working with startups and enterprise Fortune 1,000 companies, mostly in the technology or the traditional-payments/POS industries. He is the co-founder of two startups, with experience working in the blockchain industry. Adriana Skura-Palmer is a serial entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in marketing, operations, communications, and business development. She is traditionally trained artist, photographer, photo researcher, and the [female, woman led] co-founder of two startups, with experience working in the blockchain-crypto and Web3-NFT industries. Web3Domains.com's management team has a wealth of experience in marketing, sales, business development, and technology. This experience will be instrumental in the Web3Domains.com's ability to generate awareness.  6. Conclusion & Gratitude: Web3 is strong, together The Web3Domains.com project will meet the news and content needs of individuals and organizations, interested in decentralized domains, Web3 domains, and Web3 identity. The website will be educational and informative, with a focus on content creation, SEO, social media marketing, and Web3 community building.

EthPay is the first and only complete anonymous and decentralized ERC-20 payment gateway.   Traditional De-fi payment gateways first collect funds into a centralized De-Fi wallet, and then it is up to them to withdraw the money to your wallet or not. This problem is a giant hole in every De-Fi payment gateway, and We fix this hole by decentralizing every single transaction from sender to receiver.   EthPay facilitates any developer, even without blockchain development knowledge, to implement De-Fi payment methods to their web applications from EthPay API. And the EthPay Link feature makes your payments to make them from a single click. This technology minimizes QR scanning and public key copy and pasting just to click and pay level. Also, this may help avoid mistakes and fraud during transaction procedures. EthPay is the next-level ERC-20 payment option. Only ERC-20? No, EthPay 1 - Beta is the first look of the EthPay technology, and we are on the way to expanding other ERC transactions such as ERC-721 & etc. at EthPay 2. EthPay 3 will cover the entire ecosystem by adding other Ethereum coins.   Decentralized EthPay is not like a traditional payment gateway. It does not use any third-party wallets to collect and withdraw funds. EthPay transfers the transaction directly from the sender wallet to the receiver wallet in real time.   Anonymity The data we store are public keys and other public information such as txHashes and block numbers to process and validate your transactions. We do not collect any personal information except the above, such as your IP addresses, Names, Emails, Passwords & etc., directly. That is our commitment to privacy and anonymity.   The Technology We developed an algorithm to validate ERC-20 EthPay API transactions reliably. In this technology, we used an ABI to store pre-defined 256-bit code at the blockchain along with the transaction as input data. EthPay validation protocol checks this input with our database to verify the transaction. And we give you a secret code to validate transactions in your web application too and the secret code is secured as your wallet’s private key is secure.   So, for what do you grant? We have currently released the first technical preview of EthPay 1. EthPay technology is set to expand through three stages (EthPay 1, EthPay 2 & EthPay 3).   EthPay 3 will be the best available payment solution for the entire Ethereum ecosystem. EthPay expands the Ethereum eco-system to the developers and users who already haven’t been involved with ERC transactions. And the main point is, that ERC is the most sustainable transaction option you can click at the checkout. And you are contributing to making EthPay 3 real!

Music from the Minstrels and Bard of the Hyperverse projects will be used for introductions so the podcast will serve as a way to promote and distribute the music of the Lootverse as well as its fiction. An audio book version of the Genesis Scrolls will not only be delightful in itself, but will make the Loot fiction it tells more accessible to a wider audience, including those with sensory loss or dyslexia. We will also be able to tie the audio versions to the stories contained within the Eye (for Adventurers), strengthening the case for on-chain storytelling and paving the way for others to include high quality audio readings of the stories across the Librarium. I have received quotes from voice actors and a recording studio in my area and can break down the total costs as follows: Actors cost £250 for one day of recording, totalling eight hours. There will be ~50 stories in the final Genesis Scrolls books. The actors estimate they could record 4 stories each day, so will need to be hired for 12.5 days. Actor costs = £3150 / $3720 The studio hire costs £20 an hour.Eight hours for those 12.5 days would be 100 hours. Studio costs = £2000 / $2362 Mastering and production is quoted as £30 per track / story Production costs = £1500 / $1772 Hosting will be done on Buzzsprout, for $12 / month for 12 months. Hosting costs = $144 So total costs amount to: £6797 / $8028 If we undershoot the target funding in this round, we will produce as many episodes as the funding will allow. The minimum cost to produce a mini-series would be that of hosting, one day of recording and the production of 4 stories. This would be $674. If we overshoot the target funding we will commission original music for the show, and mint the show as NFTs on a blockchain suitable for audio projects.

PARPA (Private ARPA) is a new nonprofit research organization that runs coordinated programs to push forward speculative that are too researchy to be a startup but too broad, systems-focused, or engineering-heaving for a single academic lab.  Our main focus is on new materials and manufacturing paradigms, both because they tend to need the sort of programs we run and also because they underpin so much of human flourishing.  In addition to our object-level output, we hope to create an organization that can create compounding knowledge about how to do powerful systems research and pave the way for other new research organizations to carve out their own niches as well.   To give you as sense of what your money will be used for and the scale that makes a difference, PARPA programs go through three “phases”: 1. An initial ~6-12 month program design phase that takes ~$200k to pay for program manager salary, travel, and discipline-spanning technical workshops 2. A number of parallel 12-18 month proof-of-principle projects that prove out key components of the technology and suggest which of several paths are most promising. In total, these projects require ~$1.5m. 3. The full program, which runs another ~$8m.  We currently have two active programs in the design phase and are looking to start several others. These numbers are obviously much larger than a normal Gitcoin grant, but every bit helps!  Previous Work Research takes a long time and we are new, but to get a sense of our thinking and ability to execute you may want to see our pieces on how DARPA works, how to build a private ARPA, or our Substack where we share learnings from the process of building out the organization.  ",2022-08-20T09:15:28.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7144,False,False,0x4975d0da2b6eCd1f05EeA8b969910688b0cd5869,The Doctors DAO,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7144/the-doctors-dao,"HPEC is a DAO of Physicians (Doctors) that uses decentralized identity to empower the physician community to care for patients free from third party influence or interference.

Most libraries close, and if they don’t have attractive articles in their portfolios, then it is not going to be easy for them to read and even translate the written word documents. Writing the PaHow article is not natural, but it is very wrong. This is because a person has to be aware of the type of material that is expected of him/her. The way that this occurs, the more certain are the rules that one has to keep in mind. What’s even great is that when someone is looking for a custom writing service, most of the writers aren’t professionals. In the past, every writer that was famous in the field would have published a few magazines and newspapers in the US as well. Therefore, it is effortless for a individual to decide to buy a customized publication from a online agency. With the advancement in technology, it has become easier for individuals to access such services, and it is essentially free for everyone to own a personalized copy of a specific printed magazine. What makes the authors standouts from the rest? As a client, it is not something that only the clients have.

In light of this imminent need, leaders from DAOs and other web3-friendly organizations have begun to regularly convene, with the primary intention of establishing a coordinational network to advocate for the DAO ecosystem. Our current phase of development consists of expanding membership and laying the organizational groundwork for future initiatives. These initiatives may be directly political in nature, such as our plan to establish an advocacy group to engage in direct and/or grassroots lobbying; they may be cultural, such as leading public discussion panels about important topics facing DAOs; or they may be industrial, helping coordinate projects between coalition members. Because DAOs span a wide array of sectors and applications, the coalition itself may end up taking an ultimately decentralized organizational structure - perhaps even becoming a DAO itself, or a metaDAO. In this sense, the aforementioned coordinational network may function as a matrix to birth DAO-led initiatives pertaining to a given sector.

Using virtual land nft as a carrier, information and knowledge can be displayed on the land, so as to solve the current shortcomings of artificial intelligence. The development of super aggregators will have several processes. At present, in view of the complexity of social media information, corporate information with the problems of information security, people and even personal information cannot be well displayed on limited social personal pages, as well as information security and other issues, especially for many projects of web3, there is a lot of timely updated information that needs to be updated. Users know, but due to the lack of a good presentation form, for us, olandbox figured out whether we can do a link aggregation, and gradually complete the goal of the super aggregator by implementing one aggregation by one. What it does The name of the information aggragation Blue Soul. Olandbox Blue Soul is a functional development based on the original land mint of olandbox. As a linktree in the web3 world, it currently has the functions of personal information integration and link aggregation, and will open more functional modules in the future. According to the basic division of land, the corresponding areas will be divided into public space, official space, and private space. Currently, Blue Soul will first be deployed in the official space.The main function division of Blue Soul will be divided into official space editing content, links, combined with land use to form a map. Olandbox Blue Soul Link: https://mint.oland.info/olandbox.v There are several founctions of Blue Soul: In addition to solving the problem of link aggregation, the function of information aggregation has been added; Support users to add QR codes, personal display pictures, texts, etc., emphasizing user attributes, and meeting various usage scenarios; Use the wallet to log in, which has the function of decentralization and solves the hidden danger of easy leakage of personal information; Blue Soul supports that the domain name customization, personal information sharing page can be connected with olandbox semantic land, which can fully meet the user's usage scenarios; Multi-language settings can meet the needs of friends from all over the world, if a project has official accounts in multiple languages, they just need to use one link of Blue Soul which can add different languages in is enough. 6.For the project sides, they can also get Blue Soul vertification by contacting to olandbox, so their links will have the logo and the domain name of their sharing link will be different. Also, projects who have olandbox Blue Vertification can get the authority of zero-knowledge access, which means that the users can use the 'project name'+'attribute' to search the information of the project. For example, if you want to search for olandbox dc, you just need to type the infor on your chorm: https://mint.oland.info/olandbox.dc.en That's the basic founction of Blue Soul now. At the same time, the link will also show the users' semantic land on olandbox. If people click the link, they can firsly check the link, picture and text on their profie, and later they can click the land information to see more about the land owners. And the owners can add the all the content into his private space. Accomplishments that we're proud of We have acomplished two bata test already. And people can mint land now, at the same time, there are over 2000+ senmantic lands minted, which shows the supports and approvel. Also, olandbox has started business on Opensea. Besides, there are over 50 projects and 200 kols in our community. And the projects side are our collabration partners who got Blue Vertification, which also means they are using Blue Soul link to present the information of their projects. What's next for Olandbox Firstly, we will acomplish the functions of Blue Soul. The function of link aggragation, multi-language, supprting the users to add picture and text. We will add the these fouction in the near furure: In the future, the time setting will be supported, so that the project party can clearly mark the event time, and users can also set reminders according to the corresponding reminder time to generate an exclusive calendar; For users, subscription notifications will be added in the future, including project credit changes, content changes, etc., and corresponding time reminders can be added; In the future, support the chain, as a protocol, bind the use of other dapps; Besides, we will also develop a new application into olandbox called Meta ID card, which can be the authentication of individuals on web3. Rationale:  Olandbox is trying to be a super aggregator in web3, which is updated version of wiki. Since inception, it has been widely enjoyed by the community and has seen strong engagement. We believe that Blue Soul and another applications of olandbox will benefit the community at large.   And now, we are trying to create the functions of wallet bounding and zero-knowledge access, which will make a big progress of our community. We also believe it can help to build a better environment in Web3.

What problems does TeaParty solve? Problem 0 — Coordination failures. TeaParty’s positive externalities are to create a social growth tool with open-accessible to every ethnicity without prejudice with the goal to cultivate an environment that is safe and promotes inclusiveness for everyone. Problem 1 — Degenerative economy. In TeaParty, we advocate for a ""Regenerative Economy"", where users who want to be part of Web3, can feel safe and spend little or no money at all but can start to earn revenue with effort and low risk. Problem 2 — High barrier of entry against huge marketing budgets from corporations. In TeaParty, we elevate and help every starting entrepreneur, content creator, developer, indie game creator, musician, or literally anyone who struggles to get their words out about their awesome creative works. Problem 3 — Fake engagement/impressions. In TeaParty, every business can reach directly to real users that organically interact and share their content, absolutely different from how the old Web2 ""advertising model"" works. Problem 4 — Ineffective and non-transparent marketing results. TeaParty will solve that by providing a transparent and cost-effective environment for spending in making your content discoverable. Pay only if any users like or share/retweet. Else, nothing is paid! Sybil resistance: Proof of Social TeaParty is taking the ""Green Pill"" by Owocki and commit to bring public goods. Combating the Sybil attack issues in Web3 is one of our main initiative. Introducing our initiative: ""Proof of Social"", an approach that is permissionless and trustless in Sybil resistance. This approach will be deployed in the form of a smart contract, making it resilence and tamper-proof against any external attack.  In terms of permissionless and trustless, ""Proof of Social"" data and functions are publicly accessible by any parties on the web to consume and validate themselves. The smart contract is open-sourced to ensure the public could fork it and use it on their own version. Entering the Decentralized Society (DeSoc) Just about few months ago, Glen, Puja, and Vitalik released a Whitepaper regarding “Decentralised Society: Finding Web3's Soul“. It is related with what TeaParty is all about. Indeed, Web3 today centers around expressing transferable, financialized assets, rather than encoding social relationships of trust. What we trying to achieve here is mentioned by @pujaohlhaver, a ""Bottom-up Coordination"" and creating a co-determined sociality, where souls and communities can come together to co-create plural network goods and intelligence.

Website: https://longevity.review. It addresses critical issues with academic journals: Researchers should be able to obtain peer reviews of their work in a timely and fair fashion. Reviewers should have the option of being compensated for their efforts. The general public shouldn't have to wait for research to be published in a journal to know whether it's credible. Journals should not profit off the free labor of researchers. TLDR will not interfere with the status quo. It is an opt-in mechanism for researchers to get extra eyes on their work. FAQ How does TLDR work? TLDR provides funding for researchers to review each other's work. There is a free and paid tier. Articles from websites known as “Rxiv” (pronounced “archive”) preprint servers, BioRxiv, MedRxiv, and Arxiv are auto-posted daily to the homepage. The incentive for peer reviewing these freely posted manuscripts is to receive a share of the donations given to TLDR. See the Donate page to donate. The paid tier differs in that it allows researchers to post their work directly to have it reviewed. Paying places a ""Paid"" label next to the submission. Researchers pay a subscription (see below for details) to keep their manuscript(s) part of the paid tier. Reviewers have extra incentive to review paid manuscripts because they not only receive a portion of the total donations but also a portion of the total subcriptions. Because VitaDAO is supplementing the reviewers with its $VITA token, the initial focus of both the free and paid tiers are on longevity related research. Where does the research come from posted on the TLDR homepage? The research is posted from the researchers themselves and from the preprint servers, Biorxiv, MedRxiv, and Arxiv. We especially want people to link to their research on the preprint servers. These ""Rxiv"" websites enable anyone to submit their research in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, medicine) disciplines for free. This is helpful because not every can afford to publish in traditional academic journals. Currently, we are focusing on biology-related manuscripts (e.g., Arxiv ""q-bio"" and ""physics.bio-ph"") but we potentially will expand. How does peer review work on TLDR and how does it differ from traditional peer review? TLDR reviewing is similar to traditional peer reviewing in terms of its emphasis on rigor and in judging for importance. However, it differs in that it is quantitative. The ranking of each work is based on upvotes by ones peers. It is similar to how it's done at Hacker News. Also, the reviews are ranked by upvotes. Anyone can review a work by clicking ""Write review"" under each manuscript. We believe TLDRs have value when compared to traditional reviews because though they will likely be shorter than traditional peer reviews, they can be faster and the voting can enable a broader consensus. This contrasts with traditional peer review that is performed by a relative small number of people (2-4). All this being said, we are always open to suggestions on how to facilitate a better peer review environment. How does how the reviews get evaluated affect how they get paid? Researchers can evaluate the reviews using upvoting and commenting. This feedback will help reviewers grow their reputation and will determine their payouts. How are donations handled? TLDR gives the donations we receive to the researchers who peer review. A small fraction of the donations go to operating the TLDR organization, as is needed to pay staff salaries and maintain this website. We use Stripe for our credit card processing and Coinbase for our cryptocurrencies. Please donate here. We support the following digital currency donations: Bitcoin (BTC): 36DkutW1QKHSiN9xuGakQaaKThWrhTBBRH Ethereum (ETH): 0x99B75a632567ce5A86eDE922E23D1B052136192d USD Coin (USDC): 0x3344fcA91ecdBDb7c919Ae91C0a9a8F1d63a1Ab3 Can you log in under a pseudonym? Can people see my activity on the site? Yes, you can log in under a pseudonym. There's no restrictions on who can use the site. Your reviews and donations are anonymous. All content is anonymous. We feel this is important to promote free expression. That being said, those who are abusive towards others will have their accounts and comments delisted. Also, if you will make a donation or pay for a review using a credit card, we are required by our payment processor to collect your email. What is the problem that TLDR addresses? Publishing in journals especially in the biomedical sciences has significant issues. Journals historically provided an important function in physically printing research manuscripts. However, now with the internet anyone can make their work accessible by posting it online. Researchers are now doing this at preprint servers as mentioned above. The remaining major distinction between a journal and any website on the internet is that journals have peer review. Peer review is the process of scientists reviewing each other’s work to determine if the work is worthy of publishing. In most cases, scientists recommend other scientists with similar domain expertise to a journal to review their work. Scientists then often spend many hours assessing the quality of results and suggesting changes. Often, there can be several rounds of revision. This is a system that benefits the world that scientists take pride in, with one major issue – The journals do not pay scientists for any of this work. Rather, the journals charge large and growing fees (many $thousands) to scientists for the privilege of publishing in their journals. The journals have little costs because scientists do most of the work for free. This results in journals having massive profit margins. Some estimates have journals outdoing the profit margins even of some of the most successful companies on earth such as Apple. To recap, the common scenario is scientists pay journals from their increasingly inadequate non-profit funding sources to have other scientists do free labor reviewing for for-profit journals. It is widely acknowledged by many that this is an unacceptable exploitative system that needs to change. How does the paid tier subscription pricing work? You can subscribe as a logged in user at Billing. Pricing tiers: One (1) manuscript kept live as a paid submission: $29/month, $249/year Two (2) manuscripts kept live as paid submissions: $49/month, $499/year Five (5) manuscripts kept live as paid submissions: $99/month, $999/year What are tags? Tags are keywords and phrases that you can track in preprints such that you can receive emails when they are found. You can track your tags here. We realize you might not want to check this site regularly, so being emailed of your tags seems a solution to that. How can I stop being notified by email of new reviews on my manuscripts or on manuscripts I've reviewed? If the new review is on your manuscript, please go to your Projects page to manage your email preferences. If the new review is on a manuscript you reviewed, please go to your Reviews page to manage your email preferences. How does one get paid to do peer reviews? You get paid using $VITA tokens. Please include your ERC-20 address on your ""Profile"" when you are logged in. In the future we plan to use log in with a web3 wallet and to do away with the email requirement. Who developed TLDR? And what does TLDR refer to? TLDR was created by Tim R Peterson and colleagues. TLDR is an acronym that stands for The Longevity Decentralized Review. Tim is an Assistant Professor at Washington University School of Medicine. The TLDR is not affiliated with Washington University. What will my Gitcoin donation go towards? Currently, the proof of concept website, https://longevity.review is purely Web2 with email log-in, off-chain transactions, and data storage. We will use the Gitcoin funds to implement a wallet log-in, storing of the reviews and their associated manuscripts via IPFS or Arweave, and enable voting on the reviews that will determine how much each reviewer receives to be done on-chain. The latter will allow wallets to grow their reputation. Future plans To help the DeSci movement more broadly, we are also developing Proof Of Peer Review (PoP Review), https://proofofpeer.review, to accommodate more general biomedical research. Our intent is to make a Web3 version of the StackExchange network by having several sister sites like TLDR and PoP Review where different types of research is being evaluated. One can image, these sister sites using different tokens besides $VITA from other DAOs. Questions? Please reach out! We'd love to talk with you. hi@longevity.review.

This is our first Gitcoin Grants round. Since starting development in May, we've: Implemented a Flight Emission Offsetting Dapp and benchmarked its results. Implemented an API that provides flight emission estimates. Driven a community proposal to make Devcon VI climate neutral (Devcon is the largest Ethereum developer conference). Implemented the tooling that will allow Devcon VI attendees to contribute to making the event carbon neutral. disCarbon's aims are: To raise awareness about the impact our actions have on our planet. To accelerate the adoption of on-chain carbon credits. To drive the irrevocable retirement of carbon credits. To contribute to other public goods projects. In order to achieve these goals, disCarbon's initial focus is carbon footprint tools that show people how they can reduce their impact on the planet and minimize their contribution to climate change. Our tools allow people to offset the emissions due to their actions using tokenized carbon credits directly on-chain. Our tools demonstrate how easy it is to use and retire on-chain carbon credits in order to drive the adoption of tokenized carbon among crypto-natives and provide a showcase for a legitimate and tangible use case of blockchain for those less familiar with the technology, both within the traditional carbon credit industry, and beyond. Our future plans are: Run a workshop on Event Emission Estimation at the ReFI Community Hub at Devcon VI. To add more features to the Fight Offsetter Dapp such as POAP incentivization and choice of carbon offset project. Develop a tool to easily calculate and offset event emissions. Design tokens that drive the retirement of on-chain carbon credits. disCarbon is @haurog1 & @danceratopz: Physicist & mathematician, Software developers, Both #StakeFromHome Believe web3 & open source is our best shot for coordinating positive action & public goods!

Unfortunately, current Signal users have no way to utilize their favorite ENS name within Signal, and are forced to resort to traditional phone numbers. We decided to change that by building a desktop version of Signal that supports ENS name lookups, so you can search and message a user with only their ENS name! Enabling your ENS to be found on Signal + ENS is incredibly easy, and only requires adding your current Signal number as a new text record so other users can lookup and message you knowing just your ENS name.  We understand certain users won’t want to add their current phone number as a new text record with their ENS, which is why our team is actively developing a solution to remove this dependency to be inclusive to everyone! This desktop app is 100% Signal, with the added ability to lookup and message an ENS name, meaning it fully interoperates with all existing Signal contacts.

Biomimetic tokenomic systems seek to mimic nature on the large scale, including celestial events like high noons and full moons. Just like the Sun gives you light every day, a biomimetic economy gives you daily tokens. We’ve been playing with this concept for years, and are now putting it into smart contracts. We're looking for some help, both in code and financial support, to complete these open-source contracts being built in public. The code is over 70% completed, and you can preview the contract structure later on in this grant proposal.  For now, let’s talk more about the concept.  The idea is to time-limit “Up-inion” with fungible tokens as a basis for an economy. This works best with the daily distribution is linked with a daily utility-case, such as a Top Chart or similar vote-based system. It could even be used to improve Gitcoin’s fairness.  The code is open, so we look forward to all kinds of use-cases. Here’s the one cXc is working on.  🟣Purple is a three-token Biomimetic Economy where participants receive daily SOL to shine their light on content they love with a ""Sol Up"" (costs 1 SOL) that pays the content's creator a BLUX, which can Blu Up (costs 1 BLUX). Whoever gets the most Ups each day earns the real prize, PURPLE. Background After developing the idea, I wrote the web 4 paper to share the underlying concepts. Later, cXc, created the first implementation of a biomimetic economy called PURPLE. Now, these contracts are being developed in public, and seeking support on Gitcoin. We are looking for coders to help take these concepts to solidity + rust, help reviewing out C++ contracts, and to mouths to spread the idea of Biomimetic Economies.

Many AMM protocols have been announced on StarkNet and due to the distribution of liquidity to many AMMs, it is a bad user experience for the end user to find the one that gives the most liquidity and the best ratio among these AMM protocols.  This is where Fibrous comes into play.

Otherwise, the engine might become clogged, which could hinder the combustion process and eventually affect the vehicle's overall performance.   But it's a good idea to be aware of exhaust system flaws. Here is a quick breakdown of exhaust-related issues. A Malfunctioning Oxygen Sensor Fails To Intimate The ECU Properly. The oxygen sensor is used by the exhaust system to collect data about the gases that are supposed to be released into the environment. When the task is finished, the ECU starts the internal combustion process. The ECU, on the other hand, fails to produce the proper air-to-fuel ratio if there is any malfunctioning. As a result, the combustion chamber does not receive the proper fuel, and the process has a good chance of going wrong.  Either mixture could heat up too much or the combustion chamber converts energy inefficiently. It even damages the catalytic converter and causes the engine to misfire on occasion.   A sensor failure is a difficult problem to diagnose, though. Engine misfiring initially appeared to be an issue with the engine.  However, you can speak with a specialist at Service My Car to get the right assessment of the problem and the right fix for the same. Exhaust Smoke Hints At Some Underlying Issue It is normal for combustion to produce smoke. However, it should be colourless, as coloured smoke is a sign of trouble. There could be grey, white, blue, or black smoke. The coloured smoke, however, typically arises from some flaws in the combustion process. The blue smoke is typically created when engine oil burns inside the engine. Because of worn valves, cylinder walls, or a faulty head gasket, engine oil may leak into the combustion chamber.   On the other hand, black smoke results from the engine using more fuel than it should. The main cause of these problems turns out to be a clogged air or fuel filter. However, you can opt for an air filter replacement at a reliable service centre to counter the issue. If the smoke is white or grey in colour, coolant leakage is to blame. Exhaust Leakage May Result From the Presence of Malodorous Inside Cabins There are many chances for leakage into the system manifold or even one of the joints throughout the exhaust system, which extends from the front to the rear and heavily relies on the pipes. However, a leak at the manifold poses a threat because it could let toxic fumes into the cabin while the engine makes loud noises. Since toxic gases in smoke are purified by the catalytic converter but escape due to leakage, the passenger may be in danger of dying as a result of the leak. A Failed Catalytic Converter May Hamper the Engine's Performance However, a failed catalytic converter could cause issues if it becomes clogged or damaged as a result of overheating. The catalytic converter does the trick of converting the dangerous gases into safe steam to release into the environment. Sometimes, the converter is exposed to emissions containing substances that coat the working surfaces, catalyst poisoning happens.   Many times, drivers ignore the warning signs of a failing catalytic converter and believe their car is still in good condition. However, most of the vehicles on the road today use catalytic converters. These devices have almost become a requirement for new cars. But, there is a serious issue with wear and tear on these expensive units, which are frequently unable to prevent damage due to the negative effects of gasoline. A defective catalytic indirectly impacts the engine of a vehicle as it hampers the combustion chamber. There is also some sort of improper fuel efficiency. However, a proactive approach might save you more effort and time in terms of car engine repair. Unnecessary Vibrations Are Not Healthy For A Safe Drive You may be feeling vibrations around your steering wheel as a result of an unhealthy exhaust system. Sometimes the entire vehicle feels these vibrations, which is not a good sign for a safe drive. You don't anticipate seeing a car causing trouble on the road. However, if you choose to seek a professional assessment and do not ignore such problems, there is a lower likelihood that something will go wrong.   Exhaust System Rust and Loose Hangers Rust is a true enemy to the exhaust system as it hampers it slowly until it goes bad and starts to pose an issue. However, this is common in vehicles that do not get enough rides. The water vapours do not get enough time to burn off.   Besides, the exhaust system stays with your car with the help hangers. But a loose or broken hanger is not a good sign for a vehicle's exhaust system. If you need any type of car service & repair, service my car provides you free pickup and delivery at the nearest Mercedes Benz service bolton center.   The exhaust problems may be avoided by taking preventive measures. It requires you to inspect the exhaust system once or twice a year. However, you can ask for a professional's help during the car maintenance to identify the causes and address them properly.

Own your own data. Stay on the SamePage. Everyone has their own tool for note-taking. SamePage brings them together as an intra-TFT network. You use Roam while they use Obsidian, and SamePage syncs changes across your team without needing to leave your custom setup. DeSci is driven on protocols like SamePage. Give your team a way to share knowledge without barriers. At this stage, we have raised $48k from Filecoin Network Goods Dev Grants. We are seeking grant funding to build out the next stage of the SamePage Network. SamePage Stage 1 Milestone 2 Demo - Watch Video As seen above, today we have a functional sync between Roam graphs, Logseq graphs, and Roam-to-Logseq graphs with data stored in IPFS. This gives collaborators a way to work together without needing to leave their environment or give their data to another third party.  David and Joel’s work building the Discourse Graph RoamJS plugin laid the foundation for this project. We believe synthesizing knowledge and collaborating on discourse graphs to be the first major application for research teams to use SamePage. This project goes a step further to accelerate the creation of research public goods, particularly those suited for decentralized collaboration and science.  Project Description Tools for thought (TFTs) are applications that are meant to augment human intelligence by providing quick capture of ideas via notes and free association of these ideas via links and references. The space is currently littered with plenty of different web2 options, from Roam to Obsidian, Notion to Logseq. Each of the companies behind these products believe that their specific data model and bundle of user interfaces will be the solution to solving personal knowledge management, and some believe they could grow into the solution that solves collective knowledge management. However, all users are different and have highly specific needs. This has played out by Notion and Roam starting as the primary two tools of choice, and slowly losing power users to the newer entrants in the space. As users continue to migrate between tools and settle into their preferred UI and servers of choice, collaborating has gotten increasingly difficult. In order for teams of researchers or independent contractors to collaborate, they either need to a) compromise into using one tool, copy/pasting data back and forth from their personal tool or b) import/export data from their personal tool to the personal tools of their colleagues. Because of this, tools for thought on their own will not be a sufficient answer for collaborative thought. What we need instead is a protocol for thought: a set of decentralized computing resources and adapters from each of these tools. A network that allows users to continue sketching ideas in their personal tool for thought and that tool interfacing with the tools of their colleagues directly. An example use case: I want to be able to open a page in Roam and have it connect directly with a page in another user's Obsidian vault. We can write changes to the same document asynchronously and they will be resynchronized once connected to the internet. To achieve this, we plan to develop SamePage, a network composed of a series of stateless lambda functions that will use IPFS as the file storage backend. To help inform the design of the protocol for communicating with this network, we will implement a series of plugins for a set of the previously mentioned tools for thought. In our MVP, we are connecting: Roam Obsidian Logseq In the future, we will extend the network to also connect: Notion Evernote Athens Remnote And more Value  Successfully building out this network would allow teams of people to collaborate with each other without having to all migrate to a single platform. A research lab could have one member in Roam, one in Obsidian, and one in LogSeq, and still be able to share one lab notebook of findings without any of them compromising on their tool of choice. This would provide users of these tools an alternative to the current export=>import=>reformat workflow with the ability to interface with each other directly. Since the proliferation of new tools for thought in 2019, the unserved need to connect work across different software platforms grows.  Through Joel and Brendan's prior research, they've seen this problem repeatedly — it's hard to bring others up to speed, especially when team members use different tools. Even then, when teams don't share the same vocabulary, struggles occur to introduce new team members to a project. David has already made strides to solve this later problem, introducing a multiplayer connection within Roam that allows for different users to share pages — and their surrounding context — to enable teams to collaborate with reduced friction. The primary user groups we are targeting are those collaborating around either a problem or set of tasks. The former often involves research groups with labs composed of members synthesizing their research on their own tools and currently struggling to find a way to combine their findings and build off of each other. The latter involves freelancers and agencies who are looking to reduce friction around onboarding new clients by allowing each party to stay in their company’s tool of choice.  Funding for Upcoming Milestones The funding we're seeking will pay our core contributors and allow us to expand to bring on additional team members - a community leader, content marketer, and engineers. We've outlined our goals at each milestone along with projected resources. Stage 1: Initial MVP - completed in November 2022 Have a prototype that syncs changes between a Roam graph, a logseq graph, and an Obsidian vault Looking for four months of development to sprint towards this MVP David + Brendan will work on this alone Funding secured: $6K * 4 months * 2 people = $48K Stage 2: Launching teams Source and launch research teams and freelancing agencies onto the TFT Net Will need to do large scale marketing before hand to see interested parties Create a Slack for managing the community. Continually gather feedback from teams and implement 20 teams? Possibly create a channel per team  Would like to add a Marketer and a Community Manager to the team Funding Requested: ($8K * 4 months * 4 people) + $12k for infrastructure budget = $140K Stage 3: Implementing business model Discover the ""limited resources"" areas of the protocol and begin to build a pay-per-use business model around them Reach out to possible universities, companies, and TFTs themselves for partnership deals Build out integrations with Stripe (web2) and Wallets (web3) giving users flexibility to how to sustain the protocol We can’t assume a web3-only audience - we are bridging onto existing TFT apps Would like to add a Designer (for conversion flows) and second engineer (for maintaining existing product) Funding Requested: ($8K * 4 months * 6 people) + $18k for infrastructure budget = $210K Stage 4: Growth Pedal to the metal Incorporate work as a DAO Would like to add someone to just be in charge of documentation. Might need to add someone for legal/flex spot. Would also like a budget for bounty work for non core contributors. Flex spot could be someone in charge of bounties from non core contributors. Funding Requested: ($8k * 4 months * 8 people) + $30k Infrastructure budget + $64k bounty budget (64 bounties at $1k) = $350K Team Members + Relevant Experience David Vargas leads all engineering work on SamePage. David is the founder and maintainer of RoamJS - Roam's largest library of open source extensions. He has connections with team members at most of the tools for thought companies, and has built familiarity with the web3 space through work with Creator Cabins and Fission. He maintains constant contact with the team at Roam and has been influential in the design of their public APIs. He has been working as an independent open source software engineer for nearly two years now, after leaving a startup he worked at as an engineer the previous two years before that. Brendan Langen leads product and operations-related work on SamePage. Brendan has more than a decade of experience leading new product development and Product Design & Development teams at startups and established, growing companies. He's worked on popular educational games, business simulations, and award-winning authoring tools. Recently, Brendan worked with Robert Haisfield and Joel Chan to publish their research on scaling knowledge synthesis. This work dove deep into tools for thought and decentralized software, as funding came from Edge & Node. Through this, deep contacts have been established in the academic research and tools for thought communities that this tool is being built for. Joel Chan is an advisor to the SamePage project. Joel is an Assistant Professor in the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies (iSchool) and Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL). Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Project Scientist in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University, and received his PhD in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh. His research investigates systems that support creative knowledge work, such as scientific discovery and innovative design.  His long-term goal is to help create a future where innovation systems are characterized by openness and sustainability. His research has received funding from the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the Institute for Museum and Library Sciences, Adobe Research, and Protocol Labs, and received Best Paper awards from the ASME Conference for Design Theory and Methodology, the Journal of Design Studies, and the ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD). His most relevant recent and ongoing experience is the development and study of the Discourse Graph RoamJS extension, and supporting porting of these ideas to other tools like Logseq and Obsidian. Outreach!  We see the SamePage Network as a gateway to enable the wider DeSci community.

Currently, it leverages a base of over 3.3 million users across Telegram, Twitter, and Discord with an average DAU of 11k. We are seeking to unlock the full potential of social data in the Web3 era. There are three pillars to building the Port3 universe: • Social data aggregation channel: DAO tools that aggregate social data across Web2 & Web3 platforms, capture community sentiment & enable user acquisition & engagement; • SoGraph.xyz analysis platform: Visualized dashboard of key metrics, input/output extrapolation for community profiling, and increased transparency of each user/follower; • Port3 Data Layer: Open and collaborative on-chain data infrastructure for Web2 & Web3 platforms to integrate for utilization of fully customized social data We are the first project to propose the Social Data Oracle, we aggregate social data from Web2 communities & social media and On-chain, analyze with a standard algorithm or nonstandard machine learning, then output to the dashboard for visualize read & API, SDK for APPs & DAPPs Various use-cases: smart airdrops, soulbound NFTs mint, IDO whitelisting, DAO contribution verifications, etc. To achieve automation and transparency, we cover both Web2 & Web3 integrations, the accomplishment of the tasks, to finally output a standardized list. We have the answer to the final form of Web3 social data oracle and we will be the first to achieve it (accomplishment approx. 67%, deliver in early Q4 2022) What problem are we trying to solve? We are trying to solve a contradiction that plagues the Web3 sector - data aggregation. More social data is needed to support smart airdrop, SoulBound, and other scenarios with the development of Web3. However there is no such data in Web3 and lots of social actions still happen in Web2, so we need to integrate the on-chain and off-chain data to meet the demand. What we are offering and how you are solving this problem? Port3 Network shares data by Social Data Oracle to meet the needs of the above scenarios. Specifically, we collect data from sorts of channels, and then clean, count, and analyze to get a result dataset, such as activeness index, campaign member lists, or community member lists. Finally, those data will be echoed to the Oracle Contract for the third-party DApps to read. And we have designed the architecture so that decentralized data aggregation and reading can be achieved, which can solve the problem of trustworthiness and availability of data.

Users can utilize their Avatars (Favarz) in daily battles to receive rewards of governance tokens, which later can be converted into fiat on crypto exchanges. Each Favarz is therefore unique and is essentially an NFT asset. A Favarz can be improved by 2 methods: 1) Fans can receive daily rewards (GOZZ) for walking or jogging – the token can be spent to improve some characteristics of Avatar (Speed, Strength And Stamina). 2) Fans can buy digital attributes in the form of NFT, which also boost the characteristics of Avatars. Upgrading Speed, Strength and Stamina boosts chances to win in Battles and get rewarded with GoFanz Tokens (GFZ). GFZ serves to: - Level up Favarz to keep upgrading; - Buy & sell items on marketplace; - Withdraw funds. GFZ is a fungible governance staking token is used to diversify users’ experience in the GoFanz ecosystem and can be used in dApps, outside the GoFanz infrastructure. Taking all the above into account, GoFanz is set to be a potential game-changer among NFT-games and Metaverse development, impacting real lives and encouraging people to move more in a fun way. They are creating a unique model of a bridge between metaverse and the sports industry, allowing fans and athletes to communicate in the digital space.

Team members Most of the members of Sisu want to remain anonymous with an exception of one founder who stay public for team verification. Billy Pham, Founder of Sisu Network : Billy has experienced engineers with a wealth of knowledge in the Bay Area. Billy has 10+ years of experience and has worked for Google and several startups An early engineer who was with Axie from the beginning. Cryptography researcher : He is experienced blockchain developer at Incognito, AstraProtocol. Thanh Nguyen is specialized in Confidential Transactions, Zero-Knowledge Proof. Privacy advisor: A Phd holder & post docs on blockchain privacy, including Zero-Knowledge Proof and Zk-snark. MBA, Founder of Token Play: he is the Former Business Manager at OpenSea, and founder of Token Play. He now works as head of community building at Sisu. They are both knowledgeable about blockchain consensus mechanisms and have contributed to various open source projects. Manifesto/Vision Our Vision is to help promote the widespread adoption of privacy through cross-chain interoperability. As survey, private transaction from both cross and in-chain, Tornado cash ($3B LVT), ZCash ($2B Cap) are privacy on a single chain. Sisu is one of the first solutions that enables universal private transaction . We believe that by enabling users to transfer assets across different blockchains, we can help increase liquidity and value for users . Also, we vision that our proposal will help reduce congestion and costs associated with traditional methods of cross-chain interaction. Problem Private transaction is very hard to use and mostly used by criminals, as survey of Tornado Cash 2022. As we know, privacy adoption is very much like Bitcoin adoption in early days and it would be hard to use: users often have to use external chains like Zcash, Monero. Especially, during these transaction, no privacy is ensured, including token swaps. Solution Sisu would like to make it simple by creating universal private transactions . It helps users easy to use by geting private transactions without leaving their chain. Once deposited, withdraw secretly anywhere and it could work on multiple chains. Also, by Threshold Signature Scheme and Zero Knowledge Proof , transactions could be secured while keeping the tx fee cheap and while deleting all the trace of transaction source. Goals If the project succeeds, it will achieve its mission of making the cross-chain interaction easier and simplify building cross-chain applications. It will also bring users and liquidity from other chains to your ecosystem. Metrics to Goal Measurement Metrics: Number of users to use Sisu to swap token from any chain to Gitcoin Transaction volume cross chain Volume of private transaction on Gitcoin using Sisu Success will look like: Bring 10,000 users to Gitcoin from all other blockchains Total transaction volumes cross $25M Total private transaction volume cross $5M Progress We have completed the Testnet Phase 1 with tokens swap on 5 different chains with test tokens. Next, we will launch Sisu on 10-15 chains with limited real token swaps. And, we will add private transaction for Sisu. Differentiation Competitors of Sisu are Thor Chain and ZCash: Thor Chain: With estimated $1-3B market cap, Thor Chain only works on multiple chains only. ZCash: With estimated $1-3B market cap, ZCash only supports privacy. However, with the target $3-5B in 3 years , Sisu Network is the only project that offers a secure multiple-chain transaction with threshold signature and universal private transaction (including NEAR, BTC, Cardano, etc). This makes it stand out from the competition as it offers more security and privacy . Grant Request $ Preseed: $35K-$50K each stage Looking to raise $600K for 3% max token supply in the Seed What the Funds Are For The project will be maintained through the efforts of the development team hired with the grant funds. The team will continue to work on the project after completion of the grant to ensure that it remains operational and useful.

The life sciences are existentially necessary and rapidly growing, but many labs struggle to build on existing work due to the incompatibility of their computational tooling. Ontologic is building a platform for researchers to easily share code and data, making their research output reusable, not just available. The problem: a crisis in data and code management in science Over half of high-impact cancer lab studies cannot be replicated, and less than a quarter of published work is reproducible by drug companies. These issues arise in part from the challenges of collaborating while using incompatible analysis tools and data structures. Platform development infrastructure is usually unrelated to the core of a research lab's business, so life science companies that build software in-house often end up with code that is hard to reuse and data that is hard to replicate. This lack of usability is not only costly to the company, but is also harmful to the transparency and rigor of the research itself. Our solution: modern tooling for modern science Ontologic's platform helps code writers and data collectors collaborate seamlessly on the cloud or compute cluster. It automates the process of packaging code into easily reusable analysis modules. The outputs are linked to machine-readable metadata structures, ready to share between users or publish on repositories. Using Ontologic's platform, users can compose analysis modules into custom pipelines and track the provenance of their inputs and outputs in a standard system. By abstracting away the particulars of data formats and programming languages, researchers can focus on the science, not the setup, of their data analysis. Team and Progress Our founding team consists of 3 MIT-trained PhDs with expertise in molecular, systems, and computational neuroscience and an ex-Google software engineer with expertise in distributed computing. We are serving graduate students as pilot users with a prototype product. Three lab leaders at MIT and other institutions have signed letters of intent to engage with us on a per-seat subscription model in 2023. We plan to build our platform in the highly interdisciplinary field of neuroscience and anticipate that our solution will provide value to clinical researchers, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies, our planned follow-on markets.",2022-08-24T15:48:58.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7189,True,False,0x2Ed502A704f3590b9EAA59Ca1E88a6B457dD577c,ENS Friday Night Happy Hour,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7189/ens-friday-night-happy-hour,"I would love for the ENS Friday Night Happy Hour to be considered for the grant.

Four primary areas Spending: Reward core contributors, attract the right set of new contributors, and allocate budget among working groups. Asset allocation: Ensure that the treasury can continue to fund critical development irrespective of the market environment (treasuries are mostly composed of a protocol’s native token and, therefore, they are not very well diversified). Borrowing: Set up a borrowing strategy (fixed rate secured loans, bond issuance, protocol-to-protocol lines of credit, etc.) in order to ​​fund development and operations, fund protocol acquisitions, or fund yield farming with debt rather than tokens. Reporting: Produce financial statements & disclosures (income statement, balance sheet, key revenue drivers, operating expenses, and salaries).

Why does it matter? In the face of the climate emergency, community is immunity. We urgently need to reconnect with nature and with one another, in every street. Regens, unite. A Citizen Garden is an invitation to take care of nature together and create new relationships in your street. It’s about bringing the solarpunk future closer to the present.  The Story It all started in February 2020, 2 weeks before the first lockdown. We moved to a place in Brussels that has a garage, but we don’t have a car. Since nobody could park in front of it, we decided to turn this dead space into a community garden. We picked up some planks at the hardware store, put in some soil, and invited neighbors to plant what they wanted. While the city turned to a standstill with the COVID, it was beautiful to see nature continue to grow. Kids of the streets came to water it and take care of it. It started new conversations, new connections. Sadly, the city didn’t like it as much. They sent the police to ask us to remove it but we refused. On June 17th, we woke up and the garden was gone. We put posters in the neighborhood: nature missing.  We finally found it back: it was the city that took it away and put it in the waste disposal facility among broken washing machines. A few days later, dozens of neighbors came to support the garden. They brought new plants and flowers. A new Citizen Garden re-emerged On July 8th, a team of super trained and courageous neighbors came to free the Citizen Garden in a special operation. The Citizen Garden is still standing strong in front of our house and has been recently featured in The Guardian along with many other similar initiatives in the UK (showing the potential for turning this into an international movement, rooted locally but globally connected) The plan We want to create open source blueprints that anyone can copy, adapt and improve upon to create different citizen gardens. To improve on the first design, we will add a place for a tool library and book library, to facilitate sharing in the street. We will also include a communication board to share announcements (things we learned building the Citizen Bike Garden). We will build one to replace the existing Citizen Garden and organize workshops to invite citizens to build others. We will also make videos to walk people through the steps.

We, as a project, aim to allow anyone with any level of crypto knowledge to have easy access to the market’s most competitive products and strategies. How does Collateralizer DAO work ? Collateralizer DAO integrates the top strategies, staking protocols and more into one intuitive dashboard, providing users with an easy way to earn more out of their assets. Every strategy has a carefully weighted risk score, allowing everyone to participate on their terms and risk appetites. From strategies based on stablecoins to Bitcoin and a comprehensive range of ERC-20 tokens, our platform has everything users need to secure higher returns on their crypto. With this in mind, we have made Collateralizer DAO as intuitive and easy to use as possible. To start earning, a user only needs to select a strategy and deposit the corresponding token. All of our products are built first and foremost to benefit our community, which is why all of Collateralizer DAO’s strategies earn rewards not only for end-users but for anyone that contributes to our platform. To implement this, Collateralizers DAO requires a 15% performance fee on every strategy. The remaining 85% is distributed to the users, compounding automatically in their chosen strategy’s underlying asset. As an additional revenue stream for our community, Collateralizer DAO administers a 0.5% withdrawal fee when users remove their assets from a given strategy and distributes all proceeds back to veCDT holders.

I specialise in historical recreations and restorations of Aztec artworks and codexes, in particular the Codex Borgia and the Codex Laud.  About: Not familiar with the Lootverse? The Lootverse is an ecosystem of interconnected sci-fantasy stories, games, art & multimedia. Learn more here! The Proposal: My proposal is to create a second embroidered panel for The Loot Tapestry. This sequence would depict The Eye being used by a shaman to visualise scenes from Loot lore and legend, as outlined in stories from the Openquill programme. For this dream-like, psychedelic vision sequence I intend to use black calico, and brightly coloured and neon-tone wools outside of the standard “Codex Borgia” colour palette. For this piece if enough funding is received I will source my wool ethically from organically kept British sheep, and will pay a craftswoman to traditionally hand-dye the wool for me according to my needs and colour specifications. Interest and publicity for Loot will be generated through regular work in progress posts on social media. The final physical piece could be sold or auctioned, with the majority of profits going back into the Loot DAO to help fund future artistic works and projects. One of the principle inspirations for this project is the Bayeux tapestry, an 11th century embroidered tapestry that tells the sequential story of the Norman conquest of England. The art style is strongly inspired by the Aztec Codex Borgia, and in particular I will be relying on hallucinogenic vision sequences from the codexes to guide my artwork style.

Using drones & satellite imagery, we ensure the high-quality of projects that we source carbon credits from. We apply on behalf of the providers, and acquire carbon credits from reputable registries (eg. Verra, Gold Standard). We then tokenize the carbon credits from each project separately into project tokens. Main project token that contains the carbon retirement ID gets separated into fractionalized NFTs (that also contain the image of a piece of the plot of the project). Finally we will build a marketplace that sells fractionalized NFTs backed by carbon reduction projects, that can then be bought, resold, staked or retired (carbon is offset). How far along are we? We are currently building an MVP version of our main product: EasyCarbon Marketplace. We have partnered up with a local carbon footprint consultancy firm for using their carbon footprint calculator, which will also allow us access to their clients. We also have an agreement with one provider in Gokceada (biggest island of Turkey). We will do our PoC in Gokceada, by creating the application documents & acquiring carbon credits through Verra. We will use a drone to capture images for both submitting to Verra & using for the project NFTs. This proof-of-concept will be completed in time with our main product completion in Q4 2022.

It has been absolutely amazing to see everyone go through an unfunded program. Now we’ve hit a tipping point where we need funding to scale our program by hiring additional mentors, more instructors, and to begin providing stipends for students.   The Minority Programmers cohort program is a 3-month intensive program that occurs year-round, and recruits on a rolling basis, Students across the world are given hands-on experience working with corporate teams (15-20 hours weekly). Implementing Agile SCRUM methodologies, students use the leading project management tool ClickUp, have tri-weekly daily standups, bi-monthly sprint review, retrospective, and backlog grooming sessions with 24/7 support from mentors and other developers.    Piloted in February 2021, over 100 bright students have successfully graduated from the program with a plethora of relevant deliverables under their resumes. The cohort is highly competitive, implementing a skills test during the admissions process, equivalent to a final project in industry.  At the beginning of the onboarding process, students are taught agile scrum methodologies, get acquainted with the latest technologies like Github, Figma, VsCode, ClickUp, Discord, Signal, ReactJS, Solidity, custom MPA email, etc. students are assigned to complete a 3-month roadmap and SMART goal for the program after which the hiring team evaluates (with consideration to the behavioral interview and where the student wants to be in their long term career) to best place the student in teams and project tasks that give the most exposure to what that student wants to learn. Throughout the program, every student meets with Shot, the President of MPA, to check in on their well-being and to steer the direction of their studies for the next scrum based on what they want to learn. As part of the Sprint Reviews students are expected to present their work for the past sprint in a professional manner, but also to produce video deliverables for those working asynchronously.  As part of the graduation process students are given a custom certificate (to be minted as NFT), a program outcomes review by their supervisor, complete an in-depth exit survey and a reflection worksheet that allows them to easily translate their experience at MPA into resume items. At the end of the program, every student will have successfully worked on large projects (mostly software) with an international team communicating & collaborating when necessary with a handful of deliverables that they can showcase to employers. Shot the President of MPA, a JMU CS/CIS Alumni has even said, “If I were in college doing my program, I would not be able to perform on the level my students do today”. He has said that “Our students not only get tasks done in a timely fashion, but even self organize and share ideas that improve the culture of the entire organization.” MPA is not just a cohort but an opportunity to build a lifelong professional network; they can continue to be involved in whatever capacity with the focus of giving minorities the opportunity to become leaders in the STEM industry.”. A CS graduate, Shot has designed this program to give all positions (even non-stem ones) exposure to the STEM field, with relevant tech stacks that are used in modern industries.   Tracks The following is a list of tracks as part of Minority Programmers Association Cohort Program   Software Engineer - ReactJs Software Engineer - MERN Front End Developer UI/UX Designer Graphic Designer Web Developer Software QA Engineer Project Manager Blockchain Engineer Cryptocurrency/Blockchain R&D Data Science Investment Analyst Grant Researcher Human Resources Business Development Digital Marketing Testimonials MPA Background Minority Programmers Association provides all stages of development from idea to MVP, to actively providing development support.

Real Estate is a perfect business vertical to embrace web3 and blockchain technology, especially smart contract technology. Yet after a decade of hearing how this would happen, the inroads are still quite unimpressive. This is because the target audience has not, until now, had a practical way to get familiar with the possibilities. Real Estate is a fractured marketplace, with unnecessary hurdles to normalized data and a genuine consumer centric experience. We believe that this means that the 'killer app' that onboards this vertical needs to be something that is at once: simple familiar affordable actionable unobtrusive We believe, based on practical experience, that ENS is that onramp. Real estate was a singularly large consumer of web2 domains/hosting - it is a marketing technique that agents are quite familiar with. They already like to brand themselves and their brokerage with names - ENS is a natural transition. It is simple, familiar, affordable, actionable and benign to existing models. In turn, on the other side of the real estate experience, consumers lack access to a reliable, transparent source of information. Realtors for their part have no decentralized, viable resource to express their genuine, verifiable value proposition. BlockGurus efforts attempt to resolve this inefficiency by pioneering an industry specific Ethereum Identity Space, for real estate. We hope to provide REALTOR® associations with a free public good in the form of the web3 infrastructure to: Teach them to claim a web3 identity in the form of their 8 digit License ID (this may prove harder than we anticipated given the popularity of digits!) Provide them with 'tokens of their trade' essentially - in the form of POAP tokens BlockGurus acts as plumbing, providing a translation layer for the 1100 local REALTOR® Associations in the US to Oracle their data into web3. We provide Association staff the data/utility to tokenize the following: ENS name registration ENS subdomain management Licensed REALTOR® status Certifications & Designations Annual Election ‘I Voted’ Committee & Board Service Annual Charitable Contributions Since we aim to provide this utility as a free public good we are looking to identify grant funding. As referenced, we are nearing an MVP, and have a tentative MOU for Business Development Operations with the 4,000 member Contra Costa Association of REALTORS®, and are in discussions with the Northern San Diego Association as well. On the technology side, we have worked closely with several key staff at POAP, and await the subcontract update from ENS. For more nuance and texture on what we are trying to do, we strongly encourage you to listen to some of our onboarding podcasts. An example of one of our first POAP CCAR's incoming Board President xyz profile A glimpse at our portal staged in development With the benefit of the updated subwrapper contract options, our ultimate goal is to tokenize real property parcels as well as instances of MLS properties/listings using ENS and subdomains, such that every property, and every listing of that property, is wrapped as an ENS asset. At this point, attribution for these assets accrue to the agents involved, and become their 'proof of work' if you will, where their ENS name is the key reference. We engineered a web analog of this in a sense, with a few members of our team way back in 2008 on a service called streeturls - where we subdomain every property and present it as a single property webpage - sorry for the very dated appearance, we haven't updated it since 2010... but you can see: a community index here:http://danville.ca.streeturls.com/ a single property http://3332.green_meadow_dr.danville.ca.streeturls.com/ an agents sales history buy/sell side https://streeturls.com/agents/206525972/history The idea here is obviously to do something conceptually similar to this with ENS.

It is an open source - planet cooling - super sustainable - delight. A digital public good intended to be adopted and sprinkled to every corner of the internet. While the impact happens out there, the carbon that is removed stacks up inside the NFT, to create an additional layer of value that grows with each and every trade, to for the first time create climate action for the ownership era. This is impact that, once started, cannot be stopped. Immutable and perpetual. These are NFT's embedded with carbon removal to create a scalable, collective, powerful tool to combat climate change. Programmed to cool. Inspired by the likes of the Curious Addys, MetaAngels and the Azuki Community with their ERC721A innovation, we wanted to push the space further and improve on the standard iteration - to not only allow the crypto community to solve pain points but also solve the greatest challenge of our time and collectively fight climate change with each and every NFT. The ERC-Cool smart contract features functions that purchase carbon removals at the prevailing market rate, then add that carbon back to the NFT. The result is, NFTs laced with real world carbon removal and an additional layer of value. Giving carbon removal a bold assist. The Earth’s biosphere, unaided, cannot fix the climate problem. In other words, nature was never designed to cope with a 170-year all-you-can-eat oil & gas buffet. Focussing on reducing emissions is no longer enough, we must simultaneously work to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere - and do so as permanently as possible. This is no longer a last resort, it's an urgent necessity. If humanity is to survive the climate emergency we have to scale the carbon removal from todays tons, to gigaton scale within the next decade. Scientists estimate we need to permanently remove as much as 6 gigatons of CO2 per year by 2030, and 10 gigatons per year by 2050... yet in 2021, we removed just 10,000 tons. Carbon removal requires a bold assist. We need to scale radical tech innovation - beyond reducing carbon emissions, beyond the solutions we already have in our toolkit to increase the likelihood the world has the portfolio of solutions it needs to tackle the task at hand. TL;DR We have to figure out how to hit Ctrl+Z on decades worth of carbon pollution - ASAP. Now for some good news. Much of the technologies we need to tackle this has already begun to be developed. They're just early, more expensive and therefore underfunded and underutilized. Unless we step in, these solutions will be left on the shelf. instead of playing a critical part of the solution. The ERC-Cool will direct funds to accelerate carbon removal in order to cool the planet now and into the future. How we're getting it done: STEP ONE - The ERC-Cool contains withdraw and royalties functions, that auto-trigger the purchase of high quality Carbon Removal credits upon minting or transaction. In partnership with Patch it will direct critical funds to removals technologies in order to create demand and grow future supply, and provide the world a better chance having the portfolio of solutions we require. STEP TWO - The Carbon Removal credits are then bridged on chain and locked into our carbon pool. This is a one-way bridge: carbon credits can be brought on-chain but can't go the other way. The reason for that is simple: to prevent double-counting and lock them away for permanent impact. STEP THREE - We then tokenize and fractionalize the carbon removal credits via our $CXXL token. A carbon reference token backed by real world carbon removal, where 1 $CXXL = 1 KG of carbon removed. STEP FOUR - Finally we embed the amount of $CXXL generated back into the initiating NFT via dynamic metadata. The more ERC-Cool NFTs are sold and traded - the more carbon removed. With each transaction increasing the fundamental value of the NFT itself. Cooling the planet isn't a spectator sport. To tackle climate change, we need mass coordination and action at scale. We need everyone to take every opportunity possible to make an impact. We are the ones we've been waiting for. With the innovations in Web3 that radically reducing barriers to coordination between individuals and groups, decentralizing influence, authority and productivity in unprecedented ways, we can finally take action into our own hands. The ERC-Cool is a tool for collective action, able to scale to something bigger than any individual action. If adopted as the new standard, the ERC-Cool will unlock a scale of action never seen before, out-funding the carbon removal efforts of the likes Stripe, Shopify, Alphabet, Meta, McKinsey and Elon (X-Prize) - put together. This is action for the people, by the people. So let's cool this mighty fine planet together. All roads lead to cool. The ERC-Cool is currently in the R&D phase of development. We anticipate being able to release the standard in October with The world's first 'mint of intent'. Like a letter of intent in web2, but cooler. This is a free mint, a collective proof of concept and social signal of intent to do web3 differently. Then to see the year out and with money in the company slush fund from the fine folk at the Solana Foundation, we will move to cool those on the Sol train and onboard web2 in partnership with Shopify.

L.I.O.N is an acronym for linguistic informatics for organizational networks.   The LION project intends to develop an open source bridge for communication data processing [starting with Discord] and a pipeline for model training and deployment.   Contributor activity will be analyzed ethically and privacy-preserving. Aggregate analytics will be measured against established metrics of well-being, such as likert-scale questionnaires. The core objective of LION is the hosting of a production-ready service developed with privacy-preserving best practices and ultimately, the publishing of a research article about findings.   It is built on the concepts of Organizational Network Analysis [ONA] and Natural Language Processing [NLP] as approaches to modeling organizational communication networks. Like social network analysis, ONA produces a graph that visualizes and measures the strength of relationships between nodes. It has been used to model the interactions between an organization’s members and predict burnout from measures like collaborative overload. Together with NLP tools like spaCy and empath, they have uncovered psychometrics like engagement, turnover intent, and cultural fit.   We expect LION will improve our understanding of communication and coordination within digitally native organizations.   Grant funds will be used to cover stipends for open-source contributors to the project.     Project team Stanley Bishop - AI architect, LabDAO Kenneth Francis - Psychometrics & Data Science Lead, talentDAO + support from the LabDAO Data Science Lab ",2022-08-25T21:44:31.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7215,False,False,0x46b6F87DeBD8f7607d00Df47C31D2dC6D9999999,Godel A Progressive UGC Metaverse,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7215/godel-a-progressive-ugc-metaverse," ",2022-08-25T22:46:42.778-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7216,True,False,0x228458226d1F04a01720022Cc04BA207C1AE8f25,Subnet,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7216/subnet,"Subnet is a decentralized social media platform.

Privacy is normal and everywhere in 2022. Signal, FaceTime and iMessage are end-to-end encrypted, https encrypts website traffic, and Zcash encrypts crypto transactions. However, E-mail is still sent unencrypted. It is stored unencrypted on your device and mail servers. There are existing solutions like PGP, but they are hard to use. Even the PGP inventor himself doesn’t use it anymore. That’s why we created OpenPGC: Open Pretty Good Crypto. OpenPGC is a new blockchain-agnostic standard that uses existing crypto keys to encrypt and sign e-mail. The signing and encrypting happens off-chain, so there are no gas fees for sending OpenPCG-encrypted e-mail. The user is in control. OpenPGC is non-custodial and uses existing self-sovereign identity protocols to link keys with identities. For example, you can send e-mails to ENS domains: Openness is OpenPGC’s strength. This not only enables the users to choose the blockchain(s) or identity protocol(s) they prefer, it also allows OpenPGC to continuously improve as blockchains and identity protocols evolve. This process is nearly impossible with fixed siloed standards such as PGP. Stop phishing attacks A major result of using OpenPGC would be a great reduction in phishing attacks. If all e-mails were signed with our Ethereum keys, phishing would be a lot harder. Demo available We have created a technical demo called Moonfish that demonstrates how unobtrusive a crypto-based privacy solution can be. Users can continue to use their existing e-mail addresses, existing e-mail servers and existing e-mail client. It's so easy, it's hard to believe it's crypto. Contact us for a TestFlight invite (macOS-only for now). What's next? The current OpenPGC implementation intentionally follows existing standards as closely as possible, such as RFC-4880 (openPGP), EIP-1024 (Cross-client Encrypt/Decrypt) and EIP 712 (Typed structured data hashing and signing). However, the current standardizations efforts are falling short and are unable to support where the ecosystem is moving. Therefore, OpenPGC is leading an effort to standardize safer and more versatile encryption and signing of messages and files. This grant enables us to improve OpenPGC and work together with cryptographers and wallet developers to create an important blockchain-agnostic privacy standard. Deliverables With this grant, we aim to create the following deliverables: A space to discuss how to improve and secure the old EIP proposals and how to make the new standard blockchain agnostic.

Please read our Technical Whitepaper or the References to know more about us. Some brief content will be shown here, TL;DR.   What is zkPass zkPass is a decentralized KYC solution based on MPC (Multi-Party Computation) and ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proof), which aims to overcome the various flaws in the current KYC system, eliminate the pain points related to identity authentication, and protect user privacy while expanding KYC capabilities.   Key Features Generality: Individual users can generate and reuse their identity multiple times, and their information will not be leaked to any third party throughout the multi-party interaction. Customization: Enterprise users can select and configure KYC templates on demand to meet KYC needs in different dimensions, while the verifying party knows nothing about the data. Privacy-preserving: Strong data privacy-preserving is achieved through MPC (interaction session) and ZKP (proof session), while the parties to the agreement have no knowledge of the data. Compatibility: zkPass protocol is backward compatible and widely adapted to the current data source protocol, while the data source has no knowledge of the data destination. Decentralization: The zkPass protocol is completely decentralized as there is no centralized service to store sensitive user data.   zkPass’ Solutions zkPass Protocol: A decentralized open source protocol consisting of Transport Layer Security, Multi-Party Computation, Zero Knowledge Proof and other technologies. It is run by zkPass Node to build a decentralized Verifier that participates in the three-party TLS protocol. zkPass Kit: Build a Prover for the three-party TLS protocol on top of the TCP layer alongside the Https layer, in the form of a plugin/SDK. Business users select or customize a suitable KYC template according to their needs, configure the template into zkPass Kit in the form of parameters, and initiate KYC requests to the smart contract on blockchain. Smart Contract: 1)Template: Store templates and related parameters to prevent Verifier from cheating.2)Task: Assign tasks to specify MPC participants to prevent Verifier from conspiring.3)ZK Verification: verify ZKP to prevent user privacy leakage.   zkPass Protocol Technical One-Page Related Technologies TLS: Transport Layer Security, which is a protocol used to provide confidentiality and data integrity between two communicating applications. TLS is the cornerstone of communication in the web world. MPC: Multi-Party Computation, which allows multiple participants to jointly participate in the computation without revealing their privacies. It mainly uses Garbled Circuits and Oblivious Transfer algorithms. ZKP: Zero Knowledge Proof, which refers to the ability of a prover to convince a verifier that an assertion is correct without providing any useful information to the verifier. Its specific implementation will be based on the PLONK algorithm.   Three Stages Three-party Handshake Data Query Zero-knowledge Proof The overall system architecture of zkPass is shown in the following figure.

Land came first; no man created it. Every society, large or small, must devise ways in which its members will share this gift."" - Robert Swann, Schumacher Center for New Economics   The commodification and privatization of land support debt cycles that promote extractive and unsustainable practices. At ReCommon Foundation, we facilitate the reclamation and stewardship of common land by supporting resilient place-based economies and regenerative cultures. A new credit methodology for the commons We propose to use grant funds to create an interdisciplinary working group to research and develop a methodology for a “Commons Credit,” a new credit class within the larger stack of ReFi credit classes. This working group will be organized and sponsored by ReCommon Foundation (previously Regenerative Community Land Trust) with input from partner organizations such as Basin DAO and Center for CLT Innovation.  Once developed and launched, this Commons Credit will quantify and allow for the sale of the certified impact created by the de-privatization of land - i.e. the purchasing of a piece of property or Real World Asset (RWA), removing it from the speculative market, and bringing it into the commons for perpetual ownership and stewardship by the community. The working group’s research would explore what would qualify as a “commons,” what the economic, environmental, and social impacts of bringing land into the commons are, and what is the best methodology for quantifying and valuing the sum of these impacts in a way that empowers local land stewards and also creates trust and transparency for impact investors.  Methodology research and development This research would have three phases:  The first phase would be an evaluation of the relevant literature and work that has been done in quantifying the impact of bringing lands into the commons and commons management. This phase would look at the environmental, social, and economic impacts of removing land from private ownership models and returning them into the commons, and the various ownership structures that could qualify as “commons.”  The second phase of research would be the development of a proposed methodology of what would qualify a land-based project for a commons credit, with specific exploration of how Elinor Ostram’s 8 principles for managing a commons can be deployed for the ensuring success of the Commons Credit system. It would look at real-world examples of “commons creation” and examine the challenges and successes of these examples to inform the methodology. The third phase of research would be the publication of a report and a proposed methodology for the Commons Credit system. We would put this report out to the larger ReFi community, environmental stewardship and conservation groups around the globe and ask for feedback based on their experience. This feedback process would allow a “ground truthing” to occur- ensuring that the proposed methodology is grounded in the real-world context and challenges that community-stewarded land projects face.  Building a community around commons preservation Throughout our research process, we will hold weekly Twitter spaces to allow the greater ReFi communities to benefit from our learnings. This type of learning in public also allows for questions and insights to be gathered from the larger ReFi ecosystem, and creates a dialectic relationship between community-wide learning and knowledge production. This would benefit both the larger ReFi community and the quality of the final report and proposed methodology. On these Twitter spaces, we may host certain influential thinkers/academics whom we are learning from in that phase of our research.  This working group will include the following researchers: -Charlie Fisher: Center for Community Land Trust Innovation and PhD student at the Oxford Brookes Program studying the intersection of the commons and web 3.  -Anna-Marie Swan: Team member at Regens Unite and Nestr, and ReCommon DAO contributor who brings expertise in collaborative governance structures and the commons.  -Thomas Morgan (TMO) will be acting as a strategic advisor to the working group.

Accelerating climate impact from the ground up The creation of a Commons Credit methodology has the potential for significant impact in accelerating climate action. This Commons Credit will act as an economic engine for on-the-ground communities that are engaging in regenerative land stewardship practices on communally owned lands. One can trace the roots of much of the land degradation and extraction of natural resources that are fueling climate change back to land privatization and speculation. To hold land as a commons in a perpetual stewardship entity such as a Regenerative Community Land Trust ensures that the land will be preserved and stewarded regeneratively for generations to come.  The Commons Credit will grow to be a key layer in the ReFi economic engine that pays communities for their regenerative stewardship practices, activating the grass-roots, community-led fight against climate change. Over 80% of the world's biodiversity is held within lands stewarded by indigenous groups and organizations, with most of them practicing some sort of communal land ownership. That means that the majority of the world's biodiversity - including genetic diversity, plant, animal, fungal diversity, etc. - relies on the success of the commons and its regenerative management. Developing a Commons Credit protocol to financially empower the stewards of communally held lands can play a critical role in the preservation and protection of this biodiversity. Future assurance for the carbon and eco-credits The Commons Credit acts as an ‘assurance layer’ to projects that are producing carbon credits, eco-credits, and other impact certificates. The ‘assurance’ is that the projects receiving climate impact funding cannot simply be abandoned and sold for private gain after a few years, because they take place on community-owned lands, held in trust. In turn, this strengthens the claim of any climate project that the impact they are making is, indeed, long-term and for the benefit of the community.  The Commons Credit has the unique function of an impact assurance layer, ensuring that land-based impact funded by carbon credits (and other eco-credits) is preserved in perpetuity. ""The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all - our most pleasing responsibility."" -Wendell Berry -- About ReCommon Foundation At ReCommon, we see that our current civilization and paradigm are on the way out. We view resilient, place-based communities as the life rafts that will shuttle humankind from this civilization, through the turbulent waters of climate change, to the next civilization. A new civilization that is deeply regenerative, in balance with nature, and socially just. At ReCommon, we view ourselves as the tool makers for these life rafts.

It democratizes surveillance and artificial intelligence by putting it back into the hands of everyday people. An API for Apps & Smart Contracts The P2P network's censorship-resistant and permissionless API lets 3rd-party applications and smart contracts query, locate, and respond immediately to physical changes in any tangible asset around the world. The entire blockchain is free for anyone to access. Decentralised Autonomous Intelligence Each computer vision software client forms part of a decentralised autonomous intelligence that incentivizes its expansion across the globe by paying miners to reveal all the ""dark"" areas on its map of the world. No one owns or controls the network and anyone can take part. Scientific Data of the Physical World Grassland's blockchain is a live, digital twin of the real world that anyone can access. In addition to regular wallet address, its blockchain has binary coordinate addresses that are long enough to encode every object-event within 7.5 billion KM* over the next 400 years. It's computer vision can process video streams from optical or thermal cameras, whether they're terrestrial or satellite cams. Which means that researchers can get analytical data about both the past and present states of the physical world and human interactions, including the spread of diseases, as well as real-time information on even the tiniest environmental changes taking place anywhere this decentralized AI's awareness has expanded to.

Like the internet, no one owns or controls it. Anyone can participate. Block Reward The AI compensates miners for their computer vision. There's no token (or NFT). It's the Grassland blockchain's native coin. It has to be because computer vision requires computation, hence you can't get away from PoW. And Grassland's PoW is specifically designed for AI's. This PoW is also eco-friendly since it doesn't need arbitrary hashing. It lets the network thwart spam and DDoS attacks so it can provide valid, life saving intelligence. The block reward itself is split up among all the miners. They each get a piece of the ""pie"". And only 21 million coins will ever be mined.

We will accumulate the learnings in a GitBook and share them with the grant supporters. Stay tuned! About: Coffee Carbon Collective (CCC) is a project born in May 2022 during ReFi DAO hackathon. CCC creates a solution to provide pre-financing to coffee farmers and transition to generative agriculture. Problem: Rising temperatures are going to reduce the area suitable for growing coffee by up to 50% by 2050. Coffee farmers suffer from climate change affecting their farmers and recognize the urge to transition to agroforestry to protect their farms and future. You can read more about agroforestry here. During the last months, we spoke to more than 50 farmers in Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Brazil. We also did 25 face-to-face interviews at World of Coffee (the largest coffee industry event, June 2022) and talked to 20 coffee, regenerative agriculture, and carbon project development professionals: 100% of coffee farmers suffer from climate change already now (drought, shifting seasons, pests & diseases). 93% of interviewed coffee farmers recognize the need to transition to regenerative agriculture and consider agroforestry the only viable solutions Transition to agroforestry takes 4-5 years and requires financial and human resources. Crop volume drops short-term, and farmers need to have the security of revenues. Right now smallholder farmers (3-5 ha) are not able to get certified to sell carbon credits (certification cost 50k and is financially feasible for 1000ha farms). Smallholders are ready to act, but the absence of pre-financing tools and safety nets stops them from switching to regenerative agriculture and sequestering carbon at their farms already now! Solution: CCC provides a web3 AI-enabled ecosystem to support coffee farmers in transitioning to agroforestry by providing tools for pre-financing and tools for direct trade with climate-conscious coffee buyers. Farmer enrolls into agroforestry transition program with CCC, CCC quantifies future carbon savings and mints a geo-spatial NFT that keeps the track of regeneration of the farm. Farmer requests pre-financing of transition by issuing carbon credit tokens that are connected to geospatial NFTs using CCC infrastructure and fundraising directly from the climate-conscious buyers. CCC guides the farmer through transition and keeps the track of activities, verifies practices and results through dMRV. CCC provides another set of contracts for the direct coffee trade to open market access for ""regenerated coffee"". We believe that there is a great opportunity to build a solution for insetting, not offsetting. There is a strong commitment of traders and roasters to reducing the carbon footprint of coffee production and a strong will to support the farmers they work with. However, like any carbon credit buyer, they need transparency and accountability. We are developing our solution on Celo and Filecoin, using a dMRV infrastructure like dMeter or MRV Collective. Impact: There are 10.2 million ha of coffee land worldwide, 84% of coffee is grown under sun in mono-crop farms and only 16% on average - shade or agroforestry grown. You can read about the impact of agroforestry systems here. Carbon sequestration potential (carbon stock) for agroforestry-grown coffee is 6.5 tons/ha in comparison to 2.6 tons/ha with conventional production. Check out more here. At the moment coffee producing areas sequester 32,508,898.50 tons of carbon, but switching to agroforestry has the potential to sequester 34,204,306.50 tons more! Check out calculations here. Besides, switching to agroforestry will mean: Improves farmers’ livelihood: it allows farmers to produce food, fodder, fuel, and timber from farmland - up to 20% more revenue Reduce amounts of fertilizers: tree-rich farming systems reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer - lower costs of production Increase biodiversity by growing various species at the coffee farms Improve productivity: Trees in the croplands improve productivity and create carbon sinks - growing coffee and carbon revenues Prevent deforestation: Tropical deforestation is responsible for 25% of the net annual CO2 emissions worldwide Improve farmers’ resilience to extreme weather, especially drought and frost Roadmap: Stage 1: Prototype & Methodology (September - December 2022) - GR15 funding Prototype of the carbon sequestration methodology - data collection from farmers and analysis, modeling resources necessary for farm transition, incl. financial, labor, and the time required for transition, calculator of pre-financing needed based on farmer’s data Prototype onboarding UI for farmers - No-code UI for data collection, farm state visualization, carbon sequestration calculation for farmers, and NFT minting Implement NFTs and carbon tokens - Farm-specific geospatial non-sellable NFTs with information like location, carbon info, ERC20 tokens for pre-financing of regeneration, NFTs for seasonal coffee purchasing as in the form of an agreement We are participating in the Consensus Hackathon - web3athon - and will have our first prototype released on 20th September 2022.

Most DAO contributors today have to keep up with Discord + Notion + Google Docs + Github in order to figure out what they should be working on. Orgassign designed an all-in-one tool that fixed these pain points. It doesn’t bombard you with notifications like Discord, its token-gated permissions are simpler than both Notion and Google Docs, and unlike Github, it’s also designed for non-technical contributors. ‍ Orgassign helps contributors increase their efficiency by tracking tasks and goals while also providing a lasting, single point-of-reference so everyone knows what’s being worked on(and why). It manages to do all this with a tidy,intuitive interface. Orgassign is a shared contribution space with different sections: Roadmap - with goals, projects and tasks showing how everything fits together. Contributors are able to see a clear line between the organization’s overall goal, their team’s efforts, and their individual assignments. Wiki - is where important information that has more permanence lives. Notes can be added to the wiki using hashtags as you are working on projects, so knowledge management is not a separate task but part of the workflow. Groups and roles - manages what individuals can see and contribute to, which can be done through token-gating. conclusion Ultimately, Orgassign is designed to help you work in quite a specific way, making sure plans and tasks add up into an overarching vision(OKR style), and integrating documentation with task management. This is well-suited for DAOs because it retains historical knowledge that would otherwise be lost if individual contributors moved on, a common occurrence in the space.

But before we can begin to act locally, we must create a sense of deep belonging among individuals in our Kula. To do this, we will use art. Art transcends all, brings people together, and allows powerful stories to be told and heard. It also allows for the free flow of information and ideas that will help empower our civic space to continuously reimagine our future and then regeneratively recreate it. As a lateral organization, Kula will rely on art and storytelling to first, mobilize, engage, and then finally empower our community to connect globally and act locally. Phases of Work Phase 1: Building Our Kula Establish and build out our global community in real life and online (the place where Kula will live) Refine our theory of change emphasizing “connecting globally, acting locally” Create a framework for sustainable global connection, collaboration and learning Incorporate the usage of art as a driver for creating a civic space for social impact through an NFT drop with global artists connected to grassroots-level causes (this will be our first internal project) Phase 2: Launching Publicly Launch our first internal project which will help to kick off our slow-growth campaign of onboarding more local organizations and actors Phase 3: Scaling Laterally Allow for more internal projects to emerge through continued global and local conversations, as we scale laterally Begin to help facilitate individuals to engage at the local level through our partnerships including initiatives, projects, and NGOs across the world Equip the new generation of development practitioners with the skills they need to tackle grassroots-level challenges through events, workshops and learning sessions What will funds be used for? Paying our contributors! The work Kula aims to do is ambitious, but necessary for reshaping our future. Supporting the livelihood of local actors that wish to engage with our partner grassroots organizations. A lot of times, essential non-profit work goes unpaid, and individuals are unable to meet their personal needs. We want to empower these people to contribute as much as they would like without any personal sacrifice. Funding projects put forth by our partner organizations.

LX = 良心 = Conscience, which represents our Core Values: Buidl valuable things. Our missing is to bring together buidlers to buidl and maintain valuable Web3 projects in a sustainable manner. How does LXDAO work? First, LX Buidlers post an idea in the community, and buidlers have discussions regarding it. It's like a brainstorming phase. After the idea matures, the LX buidler who is good at product management will start product design, and the project manager will start making a proposal (including dev resources, budgets, etc.) for it. Then the community will vote for it. Once approved, the project manager will start assembling a team from the community with the proper set of skills. During development, the community will check the progress, and the project manager needs to write weekly for it. We care about sustainability and effectiveness. Even for non-profit and public goods, LXDAO will apply for grants for the project team. And we are good at development, and our community and project management skills will ensure the project will be landed soon with high quality compared with the project made by individuals. Our output or projects are not limited to a specific range, we buidl non-profit and profit projects (for DAO sustainability), and most of our projects are open-sourced. Here is our DAO GitHub https://github.com/lxdao-official. More projects will be open-sourced soon. We also make contributions to the whole Web3 industry.

We bring utility to our members and engage the global crypto community to grow collaboration and support for the Brains & Builders innovating in DeSci. We are active on Twitter and in our Discord. We run bi-weekly Twitter Spaces and are deploying those into a Podcast, which can be found here. We have run 5 episodes to-date over the past two months. Project updates will be posted to our blog. Our Purpose The DeSci Collective sits at the cross-section of the DeSci movement and capital innovation. Traditional science funding models are too slow, too centralized, and typically influenced by a small group of people who have the same views. Traditional science publishing models are closed systems, too siloed, not inclusive, and reward centralized institutions at the expense of the contributors. DeSci will change this.  Idea to Market The DeSci movement is a long-term vision to achieve the dream of open science using Web3 mechanisms and the expected exponential growth of the Web3 ecosystem. The DeSci Collective seeks to contribute to this movement in an action-oriented way as follows: Collective members will collaborate across DeSci and within the DeSci Collective to identify action oriented steps and projects that can be successfully achieved today that move us toward the long term vision for each of the Key DeSci Innovation Categories identified below. The DeSci Collective will be a launchpad for DeSci builders, helping them go from Idea to Market. We will do this through (a) regular Twitter Spaces & Podcasts featuring hot topics and new projects & builders in DeSci, (b) an active community helping connect builders to talent and community members for their projects, and (c) helping to attract funding to the most promising new builders and projects, including potentially early launch grants from the DeSci Collective itself. The DeSci Collective will be active in DeSci community building events and opportunities, including live DeSci conferences and meetups, and helping to support grant opportunities going forward, such as GitCoin DeSci grants. Key DeSci Innovation Categories: Democratizing scientific publishing, rewarding contributors, and incentivizing reproducibility of research results, Funding science - for profit impact investments & research grant models, Tokenizing Intellectual Property (e.g. IP-NFTs), Web3 Approach for Tech Transfer, Research data marketplaces (Data DAOs) - including negative research, Laboratories as a Service, and Future spaces identified by our community and innovators. Our Guiding Principles Transparent. We publish reports on progress and initiatives at least bi-weekly. Twitter and Discord are our primary workspaces. Inclusive. We will make 10% of our DeSci Collective Membership Passes in each cohort freely available to students and other Brains & Builders who seek membership and demonstrate need. We also proactively seek to recruit from underrepresented communities in science. Open. We are not beholden to any single DeSci project or umbrella. We welcome everyone and support all positive developments in the space.  Innovative. We seek to help support Brains & Builders to launch new projects and innovations. Support can come financially, with advisory services, promotion, or otherwise. No strings attached. We aim to be the launchpad for promising projects in DeSci.  Professional with a Crypto Edge: Our voice will be professional, credible, and constructive. However, we will also seek to include the fun and edge that has defined the broader crypto community, without diminishing credibility. We seek to do serious things while enjoying our time doing so.  New initiatives need a strong voice at the core early-on to make decisions, operate efficiently, inspire a mission, and attract followers. We will gradually decentralize the DeSci Collective, but want to get it off to a great start with specific initiatives that will be developed by our team at Cherubim Labs with strong input from the DeSci Collective community.  Together we'll lead the way to disrupt and decentralize science and accelerate scientific achievements globally.

Its ultimate vision is to connect Cosmos and Ethereum Layer2 ecosystem, exploring cross-chain and interoperability solutions. Inspiration With the development of multi-chain ecosystem, cross-chain has become an extremely important proposition. From asset cross-chain, message cross-chain to interoperability, with the help of proven cross-chain technology, the modular concept will help blockchain achieve a qualitative breakthrough in performance and versatility, which in turn will drive web3 applications towards popularity. We were very excited when Evmos was launched. Cosmos is one of the largest cross-chain solution and ecosystem, Ethereum/EVM is the largest blockchain application ecosystem. As the EVM hub on Cosmos, Evmos will connect these two ecosystems. Layer2 is the foundation for Ethereum scaling and modular development. zkSync is one of the recognized representatives of zk-rollup and is compatible with EVM. We believe that Cosmos and Ethereum will be combined in terms of cross-chain and modularity. Therefore, we want to explore cross-chain and interoperability solutions based on Cosmos and Ethereum by deploying applications on Evmos and zkSync. Because both Evmos and zkSync are new public chains, the ecosystem is in early stages. We want to build a cross-chain web3 platform that integrates DEX+NFT+Starter+Spacebase to explore our vision and incubate more applications, becoming the engine of ecosystem. We believe that human exploration into blockchain and exploration into space originate from the same spirit, so we took space as the theme of our product. In this way, SpaceFi was born. What it does SpaceFi is a cross-chain web3 platform on Evmos and zkSync, with DEX+NFT+Starter+Spacebase as initial product. Its ultimate vision is to connect Cosmos and Ethereum Layer2 ecosystem, exploring assets cross-chain and interoperability solutions. SpaceFi is building a fully integrated system, creating sustainable chemistry between modules. You can trade in swap, earn in farm, mint or stake or sell planet NFTs, create or join a spacebase, and invest in new projects. All of this is connected by SpaceFi tokenomics that combines DEFI and NFT. DEX: You can swap, add / remove liquidity. Also, trading mining is in the plan. 1/3 trading fee will be used to buyback STAR token. FARM: In single pool, you can stake STAR or Evmos to earn $STAR. In LP pool, you can stake different liquidity to earn $STAR. In NFT poo, you can stake planet NFT to earn $STAR. NFT: You can use STAR to mint Common Planet NFTs, 90% STAR burning and 10% STAR allocating to NFT bonus and DAO treasury. Further, you can use different Common Planet NFTs to mint Unique Planet NFTs and use different Unique Planet NFTs to mint Exclusive Star Sign NFTs. Each time you mint, equity assets will randomly increase by a certain multiple. Staking planet NFTs, there’ll be more rewards than staking STAR token. Also, planet NFTs holders can get bonus from platform fee. In marketplace, you can sell or buy planet NFTs. 5% of the sales will be used as platfrom fee, 70% of which will be used as bonus for NFT holders and 30% will go into DAO treasury. STARTER: You can participate IDO of new promising projects in public and private pool. Starter will be an important incubator in ecosystem. SPACEBASE: Spacebase is on-chain community of spacers. You can use STAR to creat a spacebase, 90% of STAR burned and 10% of STAR allocated to NFT bonus and DAO treasury. Both creators and members can get more rewards when they‘re earning in farm. How we built it The idea for SpaceFi came from a brainstorming session where we discussed how blockchain would evolve and become popular in the future. We initially focused on celo's financial inclusion and real-world application scenarios in the third world, and conceived the original SpaceFi product based on celo's ""defi for the people"" philosophy. Later, when we came across Evmos and learned about its vision, we realized that the foundation of cross-chain, interoperability, and scalability was needed to popularize the application and improve UE. Therefore, we adjusted our strategy and decided to prioritize building from Evmos. We followed up Evmos testing, and deeply studied Cosmos ecology and Ethereum Layer2 ecology. In mid-March 2022, we deployed SpaceFi on Evmos testnet, and over 10,000 active users participated. In early May 2022, we deployed the Space Swap module on Evmos mainnet with initial mobility. In June 2022, we built spacefi.io validator on Evmos and guide community to actively participate in Evmos governance, currently ranked 31. In early July 2022, we released partnership with zkSync and launched the testnet, generating 1M transactions in just two weeks and becoming one of the most active projects on the zkSync testnet. Challenges we ran into It'll be a challenge to continue the developing on Evmos and zkSync, especially the cross-chain and interoperability attempts. Tokenomics and the operational data of mainnet. It'll be a challenge to optimize tokenomics to make SpaceFi grow sustainably. After mainnet we will gradually launch community governance. How to balance efficiency, creativity and community incentives will be a challenge. Accomplishments that we're proud of SpaceFi is one of the most active projects on Evmos and zkSync testnet. Many users approved our product and tokenomics and suggested many optimizations. SpaceFi is becoming a community-driven project, with an community of close to 60,000 members. It's an open, creative and mutual web3 community. What we learned We learned a lot. However, three points impressed us: We have gained a lot from our research on Cosmos and Ethereum ecosystem, and have become clearer about SpaceFi's vision of building on Evmos and Layer2. We need top-down leading and more bottom-up innovation. Governance is especially important, as evidenced in Cosmos ecosystem. Although governance has many drawbacks, such as efficiency and fraud, it can activate community creativity and bring great value. Think more, dare to think, and be active in trying and practicing. Hesitation, sometimes lost opportunities, can also weaken creativity. What's next for SpaceFi Planet NFT Mint and STAR token IDO, initial liquidity.

Singular Web3 Identity Connecting your wallet to every platform is already a challenge. But, then, add in the extra effort of sharing data across projects. That's exhausting. That's why we are working on a single, multi-chain web3 identity. With granular control of your data points, you can conveniently add, remove, control, and share your data. Leveraging the power of protocols such as Unlock, provide timed, restricted access to your data to selected users or even to other projects and companies. Here’s an example: Own an ENS Domain? Connect your ENS domain to your data points to get access to quests which require the user to have a configured ENS domain. Projects can utilize our SDK to request permissions from the user and get access. Projects no longer need to create extensive systems to collect, store or integrate data points. The SDK will allow on-demand access based on the permissions set by the user. Verification and Membership Tiers Web3 Projects have a botting problem. Just like any other platform, we've had to face the same. Currently, Pyme combats botting with the help of basic non-intrusive methods to verify the humanity of its users. Yet, we realize that this is not enough. Therefore, we are building out different verification tiers for users on Pyme.  Verification levels will allow users to earn better rewards and access better quests on Pyme based on their verification levels.

A study by Ariel Investments found that, on average, Black Americans own significantly cryptocurrency than their white counterparts. About one quarter (25%) of Black Americans own crypto, and when examining investors under the age of 40, that number jumps to 38%. According to the data, 15% of white investors own crypto, and 29% are under 40. According to Entrepreneur Magazine, Black investors were more than twice as likely (11%) to name crypto as their first investment compared to white investors (4%). This means that on average when Bitcoin dropped, yet again this group was on the frontlines of a catastrophe. In my own research (yo soy @Monica_DRRProf) I have found that despite the fact that Black and Latino communities are overexposed to climate and socio-economic degeneration, they are underexposed to the potential benefits of ReFi and DeFi. The Undivide Project wants to host a three-part workshop resulting in training and a clear set of policy recommendations for making DEIA a core part of new Web 3.0 and related crypto regulations. Here are the details: Part 1) Blockchain and Web 3.0 primer, Part 2) Crypto scams versus Crypto opportunities, and Part 3) ReFi and Defi for community upliftment. Each workshop will have a feedback loop about the experiences of the participants in the space. We will take that feedback and make \""DEIA for Web 3.0\"" and ReFi policy recommendations based on the best kind of science, and people's lived experiences.

Many disease markers, such as: the production of reactive oxygen species during adult stem cell-mediated regeneration; epigenetic changes to induce pluripotency; cell fate decisions in embryonic stem cells; and cell differentiation of adult stem cells were demonstrated to be controlled by weak MFs (with a strength on the order of that produced by your cell phone), very likely via the electron quantum property of ""spin"". Although exciting, these data are correlative, and the functional relevance of such quantum effects in biology remains unclear. Research has not been able to track spin states to manipulate physiological outcomes in vivo and in real time, without which the potential game-changing clinical benefits of ""quantum signaling"" cannot be realized in the long-term. The goal of this proposal is to, within an accelerated timeline, design and build novel instrumentation to directly measure and control both spin states and their biological consequences at the same time, leveraging our expertise in quantum instrumentation building. Spin is an intrinsic quantum property of electrons and some atomic nuclei; it describes how quantum particles interact with magnetic fields. Since such spins make organisms behave, for a short time, as ""living quantum sensors"", we employ established quantum techniques borrowed from the field of technological quantum sensing. The unusual crossover between experimental quantum sensing, developmental biology, and theoretical spin physics is the fundamental strength of our proposal. Combining quantum-inspired instrumentation, theory predictions, and cell bioengineering, we will systematize knowledge on how organisms use endogenous quantum degrees of freedom to function, in an effort to exert control over such phenomena towards a desired physiological outcome. In the long run, the fine-tuning of endogenous ""quantum knobs"" existing in nature will enable the development of drugs and therapeutic devices that could heal the human body via the interaction with weak magnetic fields. A long-term goal is thus to harness spin quantum degrees of freedom to commandeer and drive physiology. Instrumentation we will develop include: 1) Microscopes coupled to coils and radio-frequency microchips, where specimens (from proteins to both invertebrate and vertebrate cells) will be systematically perturbed by weak magnetic fields. Mid-XX century scientists harnessed the signal provided by biological spins in magnetic resonance imaging – a technology that, to this day, is used for diagnostics. Here, we will go further and influence spins through magnetic resonance to effect treatment. In contrast to magnetic resonance imaging, our technology relies upon very weak fields (the underlying physical mechanism being different). Our technology will lead to remotely actuated, personalized medicine devices that can predictably alter disease progression using weak magnetic fields. 2) An electrophysiology setup coupled to coils and radio-frequency microchips where the following hypothesis can be tested. We hypothesize that spin-dependent chemical reactions happening within the cellular membrane might influence the functioning of ion channels; and that, conversely, transient ion fluxes inside the cell might produce weak magnetic fields to tweak widespread spin-dependent chemical reactions. Optogenetics relies on laser excitation to control the opening and closing of ion channels in genetically modified cells. Here, with tailored, weak magnetic field excitation and no genetic modification, we posit it might be possible to deterministically affect ion channel functioning – with myriad applications for neurological control. 3) A scanning tunneling microscope coupled to coils and radio-frequency microchips will help decipher why, at room temperature, charge transport through chiral biomolecules favors one spin (""chiral-induced spin selectivity"", observed first in DNA and α-helices and presently harnessed in spintronics). Recently, electron transport through a live bacterium nanowire was demonstrated to have such a spin preference, suggesting there is a possibility that other electron transport processes in biology – most importantly, cellular respiration – might also exhibit such a spin preference. From a physics point of view, this is highly unusual – for ex., a quantum computer needs to spend precious resources to prepare electrons that favor one spin. Knowing how transport of electronic ""quantum information"" happens inside chiral biomolecules such as DNA enables the toolkit of quantum physics to be explored towards the control of such quantum information. In practice, this means that quantum methods that control spins via engineered magnetic fields could be applied to tweak physiological processes dependent on electron transport. To sum up, the work will bridge the outstanding gap between the theoretical mechanisms of quantum spin effects in biology and the phenomenological evidence of MF effects on cellular behavior, through novel quantum-inspired instrumentation. We will establish unambiguous links between spin-dependent chemical pathways and in vivo metabolism, signaling and cellular physiology. Pushing the frontiers of Quantum Biology, our project will systematically study spins within cells across multiple scales (quantum, molecular, cellular and physiological), visualizing the manipulation of, for ex., regeneration by weak MFs in both vertebrates and invertebrates. We will, for the first time, both measure and control spins within living organisms to influence the regenerative process – with nanoscale resolution and without the need to manipulate genes. A physicist could describe our approach as the ""coherent control of light-matter interactions, where matter is biomatter"". Having nanoscale electromagnetic handles onto cellular processes will enable the monitoring and selective stimulation or suppression of cellular functions that are electromagnetic in nature. For ex., MFs could be applied in situ in order to reduce uncontrolled reactive oxygen species proliferation; and electron signaling and transport through proteins could be made pathologically weak or strong. A long-term goal is thus to master organismic behavior and metabolic function via the control of native electromagnetic-responsive pathways, using tailored, weak magnetic field excitation. Can quantum spin physics be established – or refuted! – to account for physiologically relevant biological phenomena, and be manipulated to technological and therapeutic advantage? This is the broad, exciting question addressed by this proposal. Justification for need of #DeSci external support The current bottleneck in spin-mediated quantum biology is the lack of high-tech instrumentation that can directly prepare, control and measure endogenous quantum degrees of freedom in biology as if they were bona fide quantum objects (because they are!). Our proposal addresses this bottleneck in that: 1) it is grounded on instrumentation that applies ‘quantum coherent control’ (i.e., engineered MFs) onto biomatter; and 2) predictions and quantum simulations drive the hybrid quantum biological experiments (in contrast to biophysics studies in which phenomena are modeled after observation). This frontier field is not yet recognized by governmental funding agencies, and not yet relevant to disease foundations. Even with paradigm-altering potential benefits, attempts to fund similar cutting edge projects have been consistently labelled too ‘biological’ for engineering mechanisms, too ‘engineering’ for biological ones, and completely out of interest scope by NIH. Moreover, costs and timelines are aligned with those of quantum physics experimental setup development (namely, ∼ $1–1.5mi per setup, over a build time of 2–3 years) and as such deemed ‘too steep/too slow’ by usual biophysics standards. With medium-term sustained support (5–7 years) of our deeply interwoven physics/biology/theory operation, we expect not only to realize and share with the quantum biology community enabling instrumentation, but also to showcase initial results that can catapult spin-based quantum biology into a mainstream-fundable area. Present technology in wearables and miniaturization will already suffice to produce tailored, weak MFs that actuate personalized ‘quantum therapeutics’ in the future. In turn, knowledge generated by experiments to deterministically map ‘quantum causes’ to ‘physiological outcomes’ (such as those we will perform) will realistically require at least 1–2 decades of maturation until therapeutic deployment. However, without such a sustained support, efforts to develop the required quantum biological technology and incentives for young talent to join the field will both remain distressingly nonexistent.",2022-08-28T16:35:21.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7249,True,True,0x041F724f67b9ab2341b41667c8b7965D85601E25,Metagen DAO,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7249/metagen-dao,"THE METAGEN DAO The Metagen DAO is the community behind The Metagen Coin.

Repetition is a tricky subject, and it's hard to define. But it is important for networking purposes. Here are a few tips to help you figure out whether you're using repetition properly. First, embrace your changes. The process of defining your voice and style is like defining your values, beliefs, and priorities. It takes practice and dedication. Repetition is a controversial topic In your writing style, you may find repetition to be useful or detrimental. In some instances, repetition serves a purpose, such as reinforcing key ideas or conveying rhythm. However, repetition should never be used solely to pad the word count. If used properly, repetition can make your writing sparkle. While repeated words and phrases may not be a part of your writing style, they can help make a text more memorable and meaningful. In paper writing help online, repetition can be used in many forms, from a single word or line to a whole sentence. It can help emphasize important ideas, convey a sense of rhythm, and enhance your audience's reading experience. It's hard to define There's no right or wrong way to write, and your style will reflect your personality and your writing abilities. But the best way to define your writing style is to let it develop naturally out of your personality. For example, don't try to write like Hemingway or Tom Wolfe. Their style is interesting for its parody, but it sounds forced. Instead, write in a way that reflects your natural style and expresses your individuality. It's difficult to improve Improving your writing style is not easy, but there are a few things you can do to help yourself improve your style. The first step is to read and study your favorite writers' work. It will help you see how they use various techniques to make their writing interesting and engaging. The second step is to practice writing more, and you will eventually discover your style and voice. It's important for networking If you want to create a strong following, you need to interact on social media. This means responding to tweets and posts, challenging opinions, and listening to others. You should also offer your expertise and give people your time. This will help them form an opinion of you and help them to decide whether to follow you or not. It's important for marketing Whether you're writing for yourself or as part of a marketing campaign, your writing style can make or break your marketing efforts. It should be well-organized, concise, and contain a solid sense of substance. Writing should also be relevant and substantive, and be written with your target audience in mind. Many elements contribute to your writing style, including the words you use, the formality of your writing, and your vocabulary choice. Style is an important part of communicating with your target audience, and it should be consistent across your communications. Depending on your audience, you may need to use different styles, including a formal tone, a more informal voice, and visual representation.

Without good community indicators, we're often shooting in the dark and less humane metrics get the bulk of the attention, resulting in a more transactional and less community-driven Web3 ecosystem. This is an ongoing project to research Community Health metrics and practices, and develop a data collection tool to enable web3 communities to benchmark, track progress, take action effectively, and thrive. The Problem Today, DAOs and Web3 projects are left to rely on the limited reporting provided by Discord or Discourse and a patchwork of ""homemade"" surveys to fill in the gaps. These solutions are limited, time-consuming for community managers and contributors to use, and the results, hampered by poor indicators and/or poor sampling, are unreliable. Perhaps even direr, the lack of real-time analytics leaves community leaders without established baselines to measure against to understand the impact of community-focused initiatives, monitor shocks to the system, or rapidly gauge the effects of system-wide changes. As a result, many projects measure growth in numbers but not belonging, engagement, trust, and reciprocity. We're at risk of losing the heart and soul of our communities in favour of mechanistic growth. To champion real community at the heart of Web3, we've started the Community Health project. The Solution The project has three parts: Ongoing research to conceptualise and identify reliable, scientifically-valid, practical and regeneration-inspired community metrics (tight coupling of the Community Health Framework and its associated metrics, and updating the Framework when necessary). Identify practices that advance Community Health (including facilitating regular workshops with community leaders and sharing findings) so that problems encountered can be addressed effectively.

The farmers, bakers, hunters, furriers, fishers, merchants, exotics, and everyday residents. The Loot ecosystem is already brimming with creative energy and talent. We will launch a project that will harness and reward that creativity. With this grant, we will commission artists to populate the Lootverse with Realmsfolk. Each Folk will hail from a specific Realm, feature a unique face, and have a style of dress relative to their life and/or occupation. Artists and contributors are invited to “Lootify” themselves and transpose their likeness into the Realms. We will create a style guide and fee structure so that we can pay artists to draw each and every inhabitant of the Realms. The style guide will give the collection a unified look and feel; any artist who contributes a character will be paid for their work and materials. The size of the collection will be proportional to the grant funding, with a minimum of 500 RealmsFolk and a maximum of 8000 - one for every Realm! The goal is to begin occupying the homes and hovels apart from the adventures. With 500 unique figures, we will be making a small dent in filling the Realms with inhabitants.  There is a chance to release a large-scale collection where features are mixed and matched from the original collection.  Allocation of Funds: Once the style guide is established (developed by TicklishArt and Thomas Radio), artists will be invited to contribute their Realmsfolk to the collection. We will pay an $18 flat rate for each contribution that fits the style and format requirements. 500 commissions x $18 = $9000 Each contributing artist will also receive a share of the royalties from the sale of the NFT collection. Each Realms inhabitant they contribute will earn them a greater share.

Our mission is to accelerate science, reward impact, and rewild the ocean. Moonjelly is a proactive public goods funding protocol and thus our prototype below to demonstrate proof of concept will reflect this. In order to proceed, we will prototype, test, and test again to launch a new style of Ocean Impact NFTs with real value and utility. Our first Impact NFT project is on whales.  PILOT PROTOTYPE - USING DATA TO PROTECT WHALES AND FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE Why whales? Whales are a public good. By choosing whales, we line up with a clear narrative that we’re here to build a protocol that promotes the funding and expansion of strong public goods projects. Whales play a key role in sustaining healthy ocean ecosystems and are a vital part in helping to combat climate change naturally in the ocean. Every other breath we take comes from the ocean thanks to phytoplankton, tiny organisms that generate half the photosynthesis on the planet. They capture 40% of all man-made CO2 produced which is the same amount of carbon capture as 1.70 trillion trees. Phytoplankton is key.  Along with many other ecosystem services, whales may help maintain phytoplankton biomass. They have a multiplier effect on phytoplankton and fisheries as whale poop is loaded with iron and nitrogen which feeds and grows phytoplankton as whales cross the oceans, fertilising along the way and in the process creating “The Whale Conveyor Belt.” More whales = more poop = more phytoplankton = more natural carbon sequestration and stronger fisheries - at minimal cost. All we really need to do is leave them alone and allow them to do their job. With a 60-year life span for humpbacks and up to 200 years for right and bowhead whales, protecting and valuing whales for their incredible ecosystem services could be one of the smartest, most affordable, and most impactful actions toward fighting climate change and rebuilding ocean ecosystems.  PHASE 1 - ORIGINAL IMPACT In PHASE 1 (Q3/2022), we work with “Original Impact” which is part of our “Original Collectables - Science that Changed/Kick-started Ocean Conservation"" series of NFTs. There always has to be a first - and Original NFTs will honor and reward those achievements. We curate drops in this series with rich storytelling from the impact origin story, driving home why this science and research is important to the world. Science that was not only transformational for conservation but also sparked more research and careers for other scientists in the field. For the buyer, these impact collectibles have the potential to generate exponential value, similar to American rookie baseball cards, as natural capital becomes verifiable, tradable assets in the future.  PHASE 2 - FUTURE IMPACT   Can funding data collection from satellite tags for migrating whales add to data sets that would help protect whales in certain high risk areas from ship strikes? If we could protect X percentage of the whales off the west coast of South America as they migrate back and forth each year between Antarctica and Columbia, we could reduce ship collisions by Y whales per year. In PHASE 2 (Q4/2022), through our first in a series of FUTURE IMPACT NFT drops, we will be selling Impact NFTs to fund the collection and sharing of high quality data from 50 satellite tags that will show science, shipping companies and policymakers the most important humpback whale areas and highways, from Antarctica to Columbia. In the absence of data, we don’t want to manage the whole ocean. Conservation data needs to be specific for policymakers. Humpback whales only need 4-6 weeks of extra protection during the most crucial times when they migrate through high traffic port zones, but more high quality, accessible data is needed to prove when and where specifically. Moonjelly Impact NFTs will help create this open source data that currently does not exist.   MEET ARI FRIEDLAENDER Ari is a renowned whale specialist, National Geographic Explorer, and tenured professor at UC Santa Cruz.

He has helped in the development of tag technology and visualisation tools to better understand the underwater movements and behaviors of marine mammals. Moonjelly has partnered with Ari to sell his first ever Original Impact NFTs and Future Impact NFTs. The first four Original Impact NFTs will wrap the data collected with the impact created and be sold as: 1. First ever underwater behavior tag deployed on a whale in Antarctica 2. First ever video tag deployed on a whale in Antarctica 3. First ever long term satellite tracking tag deployed on a whale in Antarctica 4. First ever acoustic receiver deployed underwater in Antarctica HOW THIS GR15 GRANT WILL BE USED In order to save more humpback whales as they migrate up and down the coast of South America every year, we need more high quality, open sourced data (for policymakers and shipping companies). In order to collect and share more data, we need more satellite tags deployed on whales in both Antarctica and Columbia to track the whales as they migrate. In order to fund these satellite tags, Moonjelly will be selling Original and Future Impact NFTs specific to this mission.   This grant will be used to help us build and test our first Impact NFTs for this project, and specifically to test design and functionality for: A. The parameters for impact wrapping, and metadata definitions, done in close collaboration with our internal advisors and Moonjelly Academy’s Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). The SAC is working to build open source frameworks for measuring and valuing impact created in the ocean and co-designing social and ethical guidelines for anti-colonial practices in ocean science;  B. The onboarding process, data sharing, and NFT collaboration for a field scientist, here represented by Ari;  C. Art curation and selection principles, artist onboarding, collaboration and artwork production with chosen artist (TBD) We will work with Moonjelly Academy to explore the ramifications of using art with impact NFTs and guidelines for best practices;  D. Successfully getting an impact wrapped iNFT on chain, and running the transactions for two participant profiles; scientist and iNFT buyer. We will make a minimal functional marketplace capable of minting an iNFT and geared specifically towards ocean impact projects;  E. Finally, we will use this proof of concept to produce and test clear communications of the impacts and benefits this project achieves for the ocean; to explain how our platform works through video prototypes and explainers; to share widely on our social media platforms; to create targeted community campaigns and materials for ocean scientists as well as ocean cultures.  DeCon (DECENTRALIZED CONSERVATION) One of Moonjelly's core missions is to decolonize science and empower people locally everywhere. In PHASE 2, we are collaborating with a Columbian Fulbright scholar (and her team) to do the humpback whale tagging work in Columbia. Ari and his team should not be flying in 2-3 times a year, for short time periods, to Columbia in order to deploy and collect the needed tagging data. Instead, we need local, capable heroes on the ground in these developing nations who are funded (not currently) and doing the needed work full time while also partnering with Ari’s lab on the work. We will have specific Impact NFTs in this collection to fund the Columbian whale tagging team to do this work. OCEAN OF OPPORTUNITY Once we prove our concept with the whale project, we have many other powerful ocean projects to follow in our pipeline - such as: monitoring ocean noise to reduce impacts on wildlife, using sound for developing coral reef early warning systems, mapping seafloor biodiversity to avoid impacts associated with offshore development, mapping coastal ecosystems to inform local management decisions, and much more.

Unlike those protocols that only offer lenders at fixed rates, SimpUnion serves both sides of the borrowing and lending market by providing fixed rates. In reality, SimpUnion introduces a concept of unified token called sCash to make all fixed-rate trades possible. sCash allows SimpUnion to tokenize payments in different currencies like ETH or USDC at specific points in the future. sCash is what SimpUnion uses to keep track of lenders, borrowers, debt details, lock-up period/maturities, maturity dates and so on. SimpUnion has two primary features as below: 1.Longer-dated maturities. On SimpUnion, of course users can choose to borrow or lend in a short term, at a fixed rate. At the same time, there are a lot of people who seek for a long term borrowing/lending need. The market is huge and SimpUnion fulfills those who need this. Users will be able to fix their interest rates for up to one year initially. And after that, users are allowed to expand maturity with fixed interest rates for up to two years, five years or even ten years. 2.Flexible dates. SimpUnion allows users to lend or borrow to dates that don’t match the maturity of an active liquidity pool. SimpUnion’s innovative collateralization system ensures that users can have more choice regarding the maturity date of their loans without fracturing liquidity across a large number of liquidity pools. SimpUnion is a sophisticated system, but it delivers a very simple message : SimpUnion empowers anyone in the world to access the secure and efficient fixed-rate loans by removing traditional financial intermediaries within the Ethereum ecosystem.

What is a good community and what people do within? Join3 has its answer, that is, a good community is capable of helping contributors collaborate and socialize. Join3, an open source Web3 product, is focused on building closer community and helping more organizations transform into DAOs. If you are still waiting, We are sending an invitation letter and giving a hand to you. About join3 Invitation to web3 The era of working behind closed doors is gone, and the importance of division of work has been aware of centuries ago. In this decentralized world, collaboration is the foundation that makes it work. How to use Web3 technology to record individual contributions and team collaboration, and how to build people's on-chain reputation and social relationships, are topics that cannot be ignored. Join3 is building a collaboration-centered system that records the contributions and achievements of members who have reached consensus within the community, and draws a visual map of relationships linked by multiple nodes. In this way, DAO comes into being. Is it really that hard to join Web3? We believe that any Web2 or even Web0 organization or member is welcome to become a member of DeSoc. In the name of Join3, we are sending an invitation to you! Collaboration Records Based on four different types of SBTs, Join3 is able to help organizations record members’ collaborative experiences, identity, achievements and other activities within the community. PROJECTs: Proof of Collaboration ROLEs: Proof of Role SKILLs: Proof of Skill EVENTs: Proof of Participation Collaboration and Social Web3 is a revolution of Relations of Production, and the core of which is decentralized collaboration. We believe that social relation in Web3 is more about decentralized collaboration and value creation, instead of just for entertainment. Join3 has been dedicating to exploring the possibility of collaboration in social interaction, linking the connections among people, organizations, and projects, and eventually forming a collaborative network. In this circumstances, socialization is not a recommendation letter from supervisor or bragging from peers. Combining with a decentralized contribution evaluation tool, Join3 could present genuine recognition among collaborators. Though cooperation, people can make friends, build trust, inspire one other and finally find the ideal collaborators. People are the sum total of social relations. Your soul in DeSoc is breathed into by Collaboration. Roadmap Join3 MVP has completed all product design, currently in the development stage. It is expected to be available for use by 2022 Q4 in a few communities which the team members are in. —We are a group of DAO enthusiasts. We will also finish the design of collaborator social module based on Web3 social protocol in Q4, scheduled to launch in 2023 Q1. In 2023 Q2, A Web3 Collaborator Square will be initiated to help more DAOs and collaborators to build connections.",2022-08-29T11:13:38.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7268,True,True,0xC0f060632E0BfbE52E48b63dAC225de9b0f856F1,inTheory Research Markets by Impact Finance,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7268/intheory-research-markets-by-impact-finance,"***UPDATED WITH NEW TEAM BIOS.

The current process for funding, sharing, and commercializing scientific research is flawed and inefficient. Poor incentive structures make it difficult for researchers to secure funding and do not reward the open-access publishing of work, leading to the creation of rigid data silos and an opaque research ecosystem. Taxpayers are a primary funding source for science in today's system, but then have no involvement in the selection of what research gets funded and have limited transparency into progress and results. Each year, trillions of dollars are invested in scientific research projects around the world. There exists an opportunity to expand community involvement and redesign incentives so that a wider pool of owners, investors, and benefactors are activated. By addressing these problems, we can accelerate the pace of human discovery and restore public trust in the scientific process.

We attempt to progressively build a decentralized organization from an initial 100% centralized status, using consensus-based decision-making methods. We use Aragon to issue non-transferable reputation points for governance purposes. Starting with the initiator holding the majority of reputation points, dDAO slowly distributes points to other members as the DAO grows and records the degree of decentralization. In our future explorations, we will document and open source the progress of our experiments, research and practical outcomes, in the form of articles, DAO tools and iteration logs. dDAO experimental progress The early members of dDAO spent a week designing the most basic governance rules for the community, using non-transferable points as proof of community governance rights. Within 6 weeks, we successfully reduced the concentration of community governance rights from 100% to 80.2% by incentivizing community members to participate and awarding governance points weekly. In the experiment, we explored the distribution of collaborative task contributions. Inspired by the gift economy, we use the model of ""distribution by recognition"" to distribute the points. A discord bot has been developed by community contributors as a prototype. We are also exploring more automated decentralized governance. We want to create a complete journey for the proposal, community collaboration, contribution allocation, mutual evaluation of collaborative outputs, and automatic awarding of governance points. The community will explore solutions for each of these modules, e.g. trialling various DAO tools, developing tools, etc. We already have a product in internal testing progress.

Mission: To help users make a smooth leap from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. Vision: To be the infrastructure for millions of Web 3.0 developers and applications. Positioning: A blockchain technology-powered, cloud computing platform for Web 3.0. Overall technical design of 4EVERLAND Try to use us now 1.Hosting Service: Hosting Dwebs or Dapps on IPFS, ICP, and Arweave Users can quickly deploy websites to IPFS through a Github authorization or a Cli local build via 4EVERLAND Hosting service. ENS & SNS & IPNS We integrate ENS, SNS, IPNS, etc. to power the DWeb more censorship resistant and provide one-stop DWeb services for users. Frameworks Compatibility Our service works for Vue, Next.js, Gatsby, Nuxt.js, etc. almost all sites & popular frameworks.   High Performance at Access All DWebs built through 4EVERLAND will enjoy the global acceleration and a variety of services from the 4EVERLAND gateway. 4EVERLAND Hosting is just like a decentralised Vercel, offering a convenient front-end hosting service. Web2 has independently demonstrated this in the market, and Vercel is today valued at more than $2.5 billion. Decentralized front-end hosting is currently the last stage towards the complete decentralization of applications for all Dapps and Web3, where there is a much greater immediate need for it. The community and users are becoming more and more in agreement with front-end decentralization, and in the future, this is sure to become a norm for Dapps as well as smart contracts, especially in light of all the recent episodes of frontend hi-jacking and centralized intervention. Getting started: https://www.4everland.org/hosting 2.Bucket Service: Store file on IPFS or Arweave BUCKET enables users to upload, store, and fetch files from the IPFS and Arweave in a secure, convenient, and efficient manner. BUCKET is also compatible with AWS S3 application programming interface, CLI, and other upload methods, making it easier for users to use our product. IPFS & Arweave & More 4EVERLAND is the first storage aggregator to integrate both IPFS and Arweave to provide users with multiple decentralized storage protocols. More storage protocols will be gradually supported in the future. Global Acceleration   All files stored in IPFS or Arweave via Bucket will enjoy the global acceleration service provided by 4EVERLAND, which guarantees the transfer, access and read speed of files. S3 Compatible Bucket is fully compatible with AWS S3, which will allow Bucket users to use S3's API or SDK to seamlessly and easily switch the Dapps storage layer to IPFS or Arweave. 4EVERLAND Bucket, as a decentralised AWS S3, covers a wider storage market. Growth in various areas, such as NFT, Metaverse, Gamefi, etc., will create greater demand for storage. Ardrive is a component of the AR segment in addition to Pinata in the IPFS sector. All of the large valuation investment for Filswan and Lighthouse, which offer Filecoin higher layer apps, has been accomplished. This demonstrates the market's strong bullishness regarding the development of storage applications. In comparison to these development tools, 4EVERLAND Bucket provides a more web2-compatible, low-threshold approach to development as well as a more complete storage solution. Getting started: https://www.4everland.org/bucket/ 3.4EVERLAND Gateway Service& Gateway Explorer 4EVERLAND Gateway is dedicated to making various Web3 protocols and blockchain networks compatible with Web2, as well as delivering high-performance and high-availability network service capabilities. Global Acceleration   4EVERLAND's gateway offers higher performance and globally accelerated network services through over 200 gateway nodes around the world.     Custom Domain   4EVERLAND allows you to add a custom domain to the dedicated gateway with a simple configuration.     SSL Certificate   4EVERLAND offers a free automated certificate service for all users who bind a custom domain, thus ensuring that all communication between the browser and the website being browsed is encrypted.     We have upgraded the public gateway service into IPFS explorer service form to provide convenience to a wide range of users in IPFS search. Getting started: https://www.4everland.org/ipfs Possibilities 4EVERLAND can help everyone rebuild the Web's foundation layer and transition to a new and unbiased Web3.0. DApps can be created without centralized components 4EVERLAND uses a decentralized network system that integrates core services such as storage, computing, and networking, enabling data storage and business logic to run on a decentralized network instead of centralized services like AWS or Google Cloud. Provide multiple ecological resources 4EVERLAND integrates the underlying public chains of Ethereum, BSC, Solana, Polygon, Filecoin, etc., and supports various forms of inter-blockchain information exchange, so that developers can quickly implement multi-chain deployment and multi-chain communication to enjoy the various ecological resources. Compatible with the traditional development environment 4EVERLAND provides a series of development and deployment tools, compatible with EVM, WASM, etc., Easily coupled and integrated, so that Web 2.0 developers can quickly complete the development and deployment of DApp without any additional learning costs. Write once, Run any blockchain 4EVERLAND helps developers to initiate write once, run any blockchain' programming paradigm by integrating various public chains and solving the differences between public chain protocols. In addition, it enables developers of each public chain to deploy contracts and front ends once and achieve a fully decentralized technical architecture. Partners 4EVERLAND use the way of integration to integrate core capabilities such as storage, network, and computing in the Web3.0 field. At the same time, we are also integrating resources from various ecosystems to empower all developers. At present, we have made cooperative relations with many protocols and public chains to jointly contribute to the construction of Web3.0 For example: IPFS,Arweave, Filecoin, Polygon, zkSync, ENS, Bonfida, Harmony, METIS, NEAR, OKC, HECO and so on.

Of course, this is because only 1% of the earths water is available to us as fresh water. So how can we solve this? Innovation happens at a rapid rate when there is an economic incentive to innovate. The ReFi DAO Water Circle aims to create that incentive through creating a desalination credit that individuals and corporations can use to offset their water usage. Desalination is currently costly, energy intensive, and leaves a leftover brine concentrate. We can create a tiered credit system that will force technologies to innovate in order to produce a more premium credit. The ReFi DAO has begun community circles where founders can focus on specific areas they are passionate about in the space. Our group is knows as the Water Circle where we explore ways in which we can bring about positive change in water treatment and availability around the world. We believe that we have found a path where we can have a significant impact through the creation of a standardized water credit. The goal is to create a standardized water credit that a whole water credit ecosystem can be built off of. This may sound ambitious, but isn't that what we do in the blockchain world? We want to carry out this project because we believe that we can create that first step by creating a desalination credit. Carbon credits came to acceptance in the traditional space, we want ReFi to lead the charge on water credits. Why do we need grant funding? In order to drive this forward we need one of two things, either a lot of research help from the community to help us get this going (which many amazing people in the space have been willing to already contribute), or we need some grant funding so that we can hire a some research help and in a best case scenario enough to run our own pilot project. How will you know how the funds are being managed? We will be posting constant updates inside the ReFi DAO Water Circle tab. The goal is to be as transparent as possible with exactly how funds are being used and progress being made. You can also DM James the Water Circle lead and ecoToken founder anytime on Discord to ask questions about the progress What actually needs to be done? We want to follow the process of creating credits on the Regen Network. To do this we first have to finish developing our credit class and submit the official concept note.

Their traits such as rarity, uniqueness, validity are used in field such as gaming, entertainment, sports, etc. However, the swiftly growing industry has some barriers to newcomers. First, the information is scattered all around the internet that it’s hard to keep track of them. Second, it’s hard to find reliable information because of the broad amount of information in the market. Lastly, evaluation of NFTs is difficult due to lack of quantified metrics in the field.   ##Problem   Currently, NFT investors rely on individual subjective data created by ""influencers"" who independently provide information in messenger-based communities such as Discord, Blog, Twitter, and Telegram. In this situation, investors use various media to obtain information about NFT, and investors’ anxiety about the market is prevalent as they rely on unclear messenger-based media for specific information or un evaluation of NFT. In addition, there are cases in which investors are deceived by the information providers because there is no verification process. For example, many report cases of failure after investing in projects that are falsely promising, which are promoted and advertised by the influencers.\n\nAs the NFT market is a new market, fraud using information asymmetry is actively taking place. For example, copying fraud, in which existing intellectual property rights (IPs) that are not registered as NFTs are newly registered as a NFT by a third party, or when content that is already registered as NFT is copied and published, is creating confusion and damage for novice investors. Furthermore, there are frequent cases of deceiving investors, such as stealing and exploiting card and blockchain wallet information by impersonating NFT exchanges or employees, and rugs that disappear after receiving investment for NFT projects. For investors, to avoid being subjected to impersonation fraud and rugpool, a system must be established to carefully examine and verify the history of the project group. However, it is difficult for retail investors to obtain fraud-related information, and many NFT investors are exposed to this risk due to the problems of the messenger-based community as mentioned above. This has led to greater distrust of the NFT market and acts as a hindrance to the growth of the NFT market. These problems can all be solved in Sigmate. The revolution of NFT ecosystem aggregates the data to maximize your experience. The following are our current and future services: Scattered information is gathered and written in Wiki format. Know everything about NFT: such as past rug-pulls, wallet address of current owner, floor price, mint price, etc. Keep project announcements updated without using Discord and Twitter. Ensure reliability through cross-validation between users and Sigmate. Keep notified with upcoming NFTs projects with your own calendar. Write your own wiki page and earn token using write-2-earn system. Talk about your NFTs and share your opinions that are sorted by different categories. Evaluate your NFTs with our index and metrics. Win NFTs and whitelists with our Draw.   ##Solution   NFT has a number of collections that produce a variety of series on one subject. Traditional Wikipedia takes the form of a simple introduction to the NFT exchange rather than an introduction to these collections. We are planning to provide detailed and detailed information on all NFTs in the collection as individual pages. In addition, we will increase user convenience by providing UI/UX specialized in providing NFT information.Users can create and edit wiki in Sigmate platform. Editing articles will reward users based on the word count and the effort. Once users are given the credibility with reliable edits, higher rewards will be compensated. After TGE, Sigma Tokens will be distributed according to the contributions of users.     ##Features To help NFT investors make properinvestment decisions, Sigmate provides features that protect users from the risk of copying fraud. By linking APIs provided by Etherscan to provide real-time tracking of whose wallet a specific NFT is on the blockchain, users can check whether NFT is true or not easily. This solves the problems that first-time NFT investors face in the process of collecting distributed information and ensuring trust for users, as well as barriers to entry, which can increase new NFT investors and help the NFT market to grow.   The Community Become the part your NFT community in Sigmate. Lack of space to freely share your opinion of projects hinder the growth of NFT community. Share your thoughts more freely and less formally in Sigmate. We plan to update announcements in various project communities in real time to collect distributed information and provide convenient functions so that information about projects can be easily checked without accessing each community one by one. NFT project provides their community with whitelists and OGs before the mint. Investors must go through certain tasks that the NFT projects require through Discord Channels. For investors without much experience and knowledge in NFTs, it is difficult to get a whitelist position. To help and shorten investors’ time and effort, we will collect and provide projects’ how-to-whitelist guides in Sigmate.  Stats The valuation of NFTs has always been a question of investors. Due to lack of liquidity, speculation, and diversity, the evaluation has been hindered. It’s important to know the correct value of your data in Web 3.0. Sigmate’s algorithm allows you to compare you NFTs with our indices. Correlation between them can help you to evaluation your NFTs.

That’s a clear sign that work needs an upgrade. We at Eden Protocol set out to build that upgrade in the form of a decentralised, community driven solution that helps people find the right project to contribute to - and vice versa, starting in DAOs - eventually spread across web3. We are working with enthusiastic devs from DeveloperDAO, crypto natives from BanklessDAO. We are fully community driven, which is why we’re here, talking to you, hoping to rely on the crypto community via donations and grants to help us in our journey to unlock the passion economy for everyone in the world.  About: Eden will be the world's opportunity protocol, providing a place where everyone can find work they love and grow, thanks to our two-way person-project matching system. This system is Eden's core, built from an ML-driven assistant, a platform-like interface, and some epic mechanics.  Communities can integrate Eden into Discord, Slack, Telegram, or wherever they are. Think of it like an assistant that always learns and works as an automated, personal project scout; it flags the most relevant individuals for projects and vice versa. With this, Eden will open opportunities on all ends of the web3 ecosystem by streamlining overwhelming discord servers, convoluted onboarding processes and outdated notion tables. The result is brilliant talent coordination & resource allocation, minus the headache. Check out our alpha demo here:  Mission Statement Our purpose is to make work, work for all. Our vision is to build an opportunity protocol built on the principles of purpose & community. Our mission is to unlock community powered economic opportunities. Our values:  Growth: No-one is born with all their skills, thoughts, connections, ideas,... fully developed. Growth is the ultimate super power that we aim to foster in everyone & in ourselves.   Community: Everything starts with people coming together. We play longterm games with longterm people. There is no stronger foundation than strong, caring & genuine connections.    Purpose: There is nothing more powerful than the human soul on fire. If community brings people together, purpose gives them direction. We are & foster cathedral-builders.  Opportunity: Luck is an attitude. By creating the right environments you can make luck a lot more likely. We create environments where better opportunities can happen at higher frequency.   Foresight: The best way to predict the future is to create it. We actively think from first principles to find better ways. We are foresight pioneers.   Impact: We care about what you can do more than what you did. We hack value, before we hack growth. We’re intentional about the change we intend to make.  Key principles Imagine purpose & community being the key reasons people come together to learn, earn, connect & collaborate. What would an opportunity protocol that enables such a purpose & community-driven economy, look like? A simple idea with massive potential impact.  Purpose-led work-agency Community-powered = community owned   Play together Take the robot out of the human Unlimited potential From hindsight-dwellers to foresight-pioneers For more info, please check out our manifesto here.

Xocolatl ha surgido para ayudar a los mexicanos a transicionar a la web3. Los contribuidores de Xocolatl queremos crear la moneda que de entrada a México para integrarse a la economía decentralizada popularmente conocida como ""DeFi"". México y DeFi A pesar de que las monedas estables como DAI, USDC y USDT han empoderado las finanzas decentralizadas (DeFi) desde el 2017, México y el peso Mexicano en específico no han dado un paso adelante. XOC es el primer cimiento en el ecosistema del país que permitirá al mexicano/a accesar a nuevas herramientas financieras que estan revolucionando la economia global. Uno de los muchos motivos por los que creemos que XOC es un moneda necesaria, es para facilitar el flujo de capital sin restricciones entre México y los Estados Unidos. La PípilaDAO Las Organizaciones Autonomas Decentralizadas (DAO en inglés) son cooperativas digitales que permiten a un conjunto de personas coolaborar en un proyecto sin importar quienes sean, de donde vienen, en que creen, o en donde residen.

Mexico and DeFi Although stable currencies such as DAI, USDC and USDT have empowered decentralized finance (DeFi) since 2017, Mexico and the Mexican peso in specific have not stepped up. XOC is the first foundation in the country's ecosystem that will allow Mexicans to access new financial tools that are revolutionizing the global economy. One of the many reasons we believe XOC is a necessary currency is to facilitate the unrestricted flow of capital between Mexico and the United States. The PipilaDAO Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) are digital cooperatives that allow a set of people to collaborate on a project regardless of who they are, where they come from, what they believe in, or where they reside. In this case, PipilaDAO is created to be the organization in charge of the development and control of the decentralized currency XOC.

Leevtis’s mission is to build a protocol that allows anyone to program arbitrary rules into a badge that can be claimed. Making these badges more accessible to other users, decentralized applications and protocols will help drive interesting behaviors and endless use-cases. Web3 empowers anyone from the world, for the first time in history, to interact with any decentralized application on a “shared state device”--where all records of these interactions are immutably stored on a public database. At Leevtis, we believe that both understanding these on-chain interactions and digital footprints and making them useful through badges will be one of the most important primitives upon which the Web3 stack is built over the next decade. Through Leevtis, users are able to discover on-chain achievements curated by the community and mint them as non-transferable NFTs called ‘Badges’. It is implemented as a set of smart contracts and a validating oracle to provide composable badges and built-in on-chain data validation. Publisher of a badge can deploy specific badge standards—which includes detailed metadata of the on-chain achievement and eligibility criteria—to the blockchain. When a user attempts to claim a badge, Leevtis’s validating oracle—which fetches and synchronizes Ethereum blockchain data—provides proof for the Leevtis Protocol by analyzing the user’s historic transaction data and validating whether or not the user is eligible. Leevtis aims to contribute to build up a more collaborative and meritocratic network where one’s contribution, participation and reputation is valued. Therefore, the Leevtis is, by design and implementation, a complete system that could shape the fabric of how Web3 users interact and how applications and protocols are built to understand them",2022-08-30T03:24:14.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7289,True,True,0x4A9a27d614a74Ee5524909cA27bdBcBB7eD3b315,DAOhaus,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7289/daohaus,"DAOhaus is a platform for launching and coordinating purpose driven communities. Our “no-code” front end enables communities to create a Moloch DAO in under 10 minutes at no cost aside from gas on a number of EVM compatible blockchains. We create open source tools and libraries that enables the DAOhaus framework to be used as a public good, in line with our mission to foster a diverse, open economy of transparent cooperation. DAOhaus’ Social Impact DAOhaus is committed to a community first culture that furthers the development of the web3 DAO ecosystem. Our culture has attracted thousands of DAOs to launch on our platform like: MetaCartel Ventures: An investment DAO with over $6.6M TVL Moloch Rises: A grants giving DAO with over $2.5M TVL Game Mine Alliance: A P2E game community with over $2M TVL DiamondBank: A data science DAO with $370K TVL RaidGuild: A service DAO with over $200K TVL We have built a considerable following (15.7k followers on Twitter and 6,300 members in Discord) that allows us to act as stewards for the community by advocating, discussing, and sharing knowledge that improves the DAO ecosystem. One of our programs, HausParty is a weekly tradition that started in our server and recently grew to Twitter Spaces. Our lively discussions tackle issues we face in our communities and provide a space for people to openly talk about them. Some of our shows include: HausParty Live featuring Raid Guild Season 1 Cohort HausParty Live featuring Pet3rPan HausParty Live featuring the DAOhaus community Our community members also publish content relevant to the community on Mirror and Substack. Their articles have covered the basics of Moloch DAOs, DAO governance patterns, and more. Our platform has over 3,000 DAOs summoned, almost 45,000 proposals created, and approximately $100,000,000 in funds passed through treasuries. (source: stats.daohaus.club) DAOhaus has also been featured in noteable publications like Decrypt, Forbes, and HackerNoon. DAO Experimentation Experimentation is built into the core of DAOhaus. We believe the only way to push the ecosystem forward is by trying new and innovative approaches. We launched DAOgroni to experiment with a new “fair launch” NFT project that combines the power of an ERC721 token and a Moloch DAO. DAOgroni allows anyone to mint an NFT that may be burned for shares in the DAO with the mint proceeds going directly to the DAO treasury. We also developed Yeet, a web3 crowdfunding tool with built in DAO governance. When a person contributes to Yeet, they gain shares in the initiative that protects their interest via the “ragequit” mechanism. During the recent market downturn, we experimented with a new form of governance. DAOhaus transitioned from a retroactive compensation model to a RFP system to extend runway and focus contributors on specific objectives for the DAO. What Grant Funds Will Be Used For We are on the verge of deploying DAOhaus v3 which introduces a new, composable platform that unlocks the next level of coordination for DAOs. The grant funding will be used to support our team of contributors including the development team that is working on delivering DAOhaus v3. This also includes covering security audits. Security is a top priority for DAOhaus v3 smart contracts and frontend. As an open-source product built as a public good, we are committed to taking the appropriate steps to properly audit our contracts. This will ensure our contracts are battle tested and ready to be unleashed into the wild.

This is achieved by allowing users to create profiles and interact with each other via these profiles. “Profile” (as used here) refers specifically to Scopefy profiles; “user” refers to standard crypto wallets. The Protocol is currently overseen by a multisig, which will be expanded to a broader DAO that can develop and vote on new modules and expanded functionality. Let's first dig into profile creation and publishing. Users must create a profile on the hub, for which they will receive a sequentially ID'd profile NFT. This NFT controls the profile, and thus, its owner becomes the de facto controller of the given profile. Profile owners can: 1.Publish to the profile. Publication types are: Post: A standard piece of content. Comment: A standard piece of content with a pointer to another publication. Since comments include a pointer, this executes the pointed publication's ""reference module"" logic, if any. Mirror: The equivalent of a ""share"" in a traditional sense, having no content but a pointer to another publication. Since mirrors only include a pointer, this executes the pointed publication's ""reference module"" logic, if any. 2.Set the profile's ""follow module"": This whitelisted logic contract determines the logic that must be executed when a wallet attempts to follow the given profile; for example, some followers may incur a fee to the profile owner via the fee follow module contract. 3.Set the profile's image URI 4.Set the profile's ""dispatcher"": This is an address that can act on behalf of a profile's owner; it can publish to the given profile and set the given profile's URI. In summary, the Scopefy Protocol is a composable social graph protocol built to be community-owned and ever-evolving. It empowers its users by allowing them to decide how they want their social graph to be built and how they want it to be monetized, if at all.

Dolven Labs is a DAO Based Ecosystem Catalyst for projects built on the StarkNet Network it is an initiative to empower, accelerate and support innovative projects in the StarkNet ecosystem by providing them with early-stage investment. We aim to be the future of investment, deal flow, and value creation in the StarkNet ecosystem. About how it works is very simple: We provide early-stage investment to projects built on the StarkNet Network. This process of investment needs to be fair and effective at the same time. Therefore we have Dolven Labs DAO, the projects that apply for investment are forwarded to DAO for voting, and if they receive a majority, they will receive an investment from the Dolven Labs Mutual Fund. 2] What is Dolven Labs DAO and How to become a part of it? Dolven Labs DAO is what holds the decision-making power in Dolven Labs, like to decide which of the applicant projects will receive an early-stage investment, voting is held and our DAO members cast their votes. The project which receives most votes is then handed out an early stage investment. The members of our DAO are called Delegates. We use staking to incentivize and reward users for holding $DLV and include them directly in the StarkNet ecosystem. When you stake $DLV token on Dolven's staking platform, you have an option to become a Delegator. 3] How does Dolven Labs plan to be Sustainable? Dolven Labs is an initiative to empower, accelerate and support innovative projects in the StarkNet ecosystem, enabling them to push their boundaries and achieve their goals. To enable this, we need to implement an investment strategy that can withstand all types of markets. It is important to us that we continue our support for projects in the Starknet Ecosystem not only in a rising market but also in a declining market.  To ensure the Dolven Mutual Fund continues to invest in projects built on Starknet, we are building tools that hit two birds with one stone. The first bird is Dolven Labs mutual fund, with the continued investment we run into the risk of depleting our investment fund, therefore, we need to add funds to it which brings us to our second bird which is accelerating building in Starknet.  Building on Starknet can be hard, even with an experienced team the learning curve can pose challenges that can offset your target Roadmap with unforeseen complications. To counter this we are introducing to you our sustainability tools which are designed to accelerate your Starknet experience. 4] Dolven Labs Vision and Roadmap.  We aim for Dolven Labs to be a go-to platform for new projects in the StarkNet ecosystem for early-stage investment. The strength of Dolven Labs is being transparent and fair to its community with more users joining in, Dolven Labs would effectively become a major player in the StarkNet ecosystem and become a true game-changer.  Our primary goal will always be to add value to Starknet and facilitate its healthy growth.  As per the roadmap, we have launched our Testnet eligibility program on August 17th, 2022 and the response has been overwhelmingly positive, we will be releasing our Testnet in parts, the first part being available by end of September 2022, and the others will follow soon.  For more details about Dolven Labs visit: 👉🏻 Docs: https://docs.dolvenlabs.com/ 👉🏻 Website: https://dolvenlabs.com/ 👉🏻 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/dolvenlabs ",2022-08-30T09:18:20.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7298,True,True,0xf62D09bA0C02dD7d3E6fa8dF03f89DF50DC13440,PsyDAO - Democratizing & Decentralizing Psychedelic Research,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7298/psydao-democratizing-decentralizing-psychedelic-r," What is PsyDAO? TLDR;   PsyDAO aims to fund and democratize early-stage psychedelic research and IP through the use of tokenized ownership, community governance and an emphasis on open source. We are in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance. Psilocybin, LSD, MDMA and ketamine – compounds once regarded as recreational drugs – are being re-examined as legitimate medicines to treat mental health conditions. The rush of companies entering the psychedelic industry has led to an influx of patent applications, marking the beginning of the journey to commercialization.  At PsyDAO we believe that these life-changing compounds should be developed and commercialized in a way that is values-aligned with the patients, users, researchers, investors and communities that come together to develop them. This is why we are forming a decentralized, autonomous, member-owned organization (DAO) dedicated to the sustainable and ethical advancement of psychedelic medicines. PsyDAO intends to be a hivemind — a literal collective consciousness for the ethical development of psychedelics PsyDAO aims to fund and democratize early-stage psychedelic research and IP through tokenized ownership, community governance and open source technology. Where applicable, PsyDAO will hold IP rights in underlying research projects that it supports, which will be attached to ‘IP NFTs’. For compounds where IP claims are possible, PsyDAO will develop a portfolio that is actively managed by the community in an aligned way to democratize development and access. For naturally-occurring compounds such as psilocybin, PsyDAO aims to create powerful, open-source data repositories that will be governed by the community. The IP tokenization system is a mixture of meme magic and mathemagic. Built with our friends at Molecule and VitaDAO, it enables PsyDAO to create open research and participation markets for known psychedelics, selectively distributing rights and benefits to partners and contributors.  Current status of PsyDAO: We are in the early stages of building a DAO. We have assembled an amazing group of core contributors and stewards, identified several exciting psychedelic research projects and cultivated a community of supporters over 1000 strong.  Research Projects we are supporting: Part of PsyDAO’s mission is to support open source projects that advance Psychedelic medicine and Science. Two projects we are currently supporting are: The Open Ketamine Project, in collaboration with Crowd Funded Cures - working to make an off-patent version of Ketamine available to patients at lower cost than patented versions The Entheogen Genome Project, in collaboration with The Entheome Foundation - working to sequence all known psychedelic fungi and plants, and to provide the data freely to all Over the next quarter we plan to:  + Create a contributor model to enable community members to create, contribute and have a voice in DAO governance  + Further build out the team to include industry, ethical and scientific advisors + Solidify our business model and tokenomics model + Establish operations and governance guardrails for the DAO + Source cutting edge, original research projects that will advance the psychedelic space How will these funds be used: Funding raised in the GR15 round will be used to pay for ongoing operating expenses and to  pay key contributors to build out the infrastructure described above.  Thanks for your support!

When it comes to safeguarding our food supply from effects of climate change, effective measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of soil regeneration, Crops’ health improvement and biodiversity enhancement is critical to help small scale farmers and growers navigate tough challenges of climate change. To help small scale projects get full benefits of carbon, ecocredits and other incentives for ecosystem services, MRV Research Group is working to publish MRV1O1, a guide to quickly understand and implement relevant MRV best practices. The Problem Traditional MRV approaches are prohibitively expensive, often constituting 30-40% of the costs for large projects over 1200 hectares. What’s worse, these expenses are always upfront before generating revenue from the project. Additionally, the MRV methodologies are difficult to understand and often do not include regenerative practices valued by local communities. Data gathered during traditional MRV practices is usually kept in silos and has no useful application or benefits for smaller farmers. Small farmers produce most of the world’s food supply and they don’t have any solutions to turn to Regenerative Practices. This scenario offers us a significant opportunity for regenerative impact. Additionally, Small farmers need support in switching to regenerative practices to protect their farms and livelihood from the effects of climate change. Our Solution To publish a guide with the tools needed for small projects to conduct MRV and reap the rewards. In the guide’s first edition, we are starting with agriculture, agroforestry, and small-scale farming examples. We plan to cover other types of projects in future versions. Deliverables (Each Phase lasting ~ 4-6 months) Phase 1: Understanding traditional MRV approaches, with in-depth Research. Phase 2: Filtering out relevant MRV practices for Small Scale Projects. Phase 3: Combining Our learnings with on-ground best practices and publish the guide. Phase 4: Automation of data collection, reporting and verification for development of dMRV. Phase 5: TBD by the working group participants. What the Funds Will Be Used For Research existing MRV practices such as Verra, Gold Standard, Regen Network and Climate Action Reserve to learn from and adapt existing methodologies to be viable at smaller scale. Select relevant additional MRV areas from Bloom Network’s regenerative actions list, in order to include on-the-ground and community-led perspectives on what are valuable impact/results. Conduct interviews to understand what questions a project developer needs answered. Interview existing sensor tech projects and other results monitoring platforms, to identify which methods are feasible for small-scale projects to implement. Publish the MRV 101 guide for small-scale projects. It will help project leaders identify which MRV methodologies make sense for their project, and get up and running with measurement and ReFi protocols as quickly as possible. Begin pilot projects with Ogallala Life and Shamba projects. Iterate with more impact areas and community feedback Through the process we are building collaboration and interoperability across ReFi projects supporting this scale.

The problem Names in the Ethereum Name Service are unique, but there are no restrictions on registering look-alike names that are visually very difficult to distinguish from genuine ones. For example, having a name vitalik.eth, an attacker can register a similar name by replacing the symbol lowercase L with uppercase i: vitaIik.eth. The name is visually similar, but it is treated by the protocol as a completely different name, with its own hash, as well as an address bound to it.  This type of attack is called a homograph attack. Regarding the ENS protocol, it can be performed in the following ways: Substitution of character pairs i/I, i/j, O/0, w/vv, m/rn, which depending on the typeface, may be difficult or impossible to distinguish; Replacing ascii characters with visually similar ones from Unicode; for example, “faсebooсk.eth” uses the letters o and с from Cyrillic; Use of invisible Unicode characters;  Spoofing using uppercase letters; for example, bitcoin.eth may be spoofed as Bitcoin.eth.  ENS fights this attack pretty hard by normalizing names before they are registered, as well as warning against using non-ascii characters on its site. However, to save gas, such checks have been implemented off-chain, on the frontend side. Any user can register a name bypassing the official site by calling the protocol contract directly. The Proposal It is proposed to develop a Forta bot that monitors on-chain contract events responsible for registering "".eth"" names. As soon as the bot detects a new registered name, it tries to normalize it and checks if a similar name has already been registered. If so, the bot fires an alert specifying the registered name, the existing normalized name, and the addresses of the accounts to which these names are bound. Forta Protocol allows each user to subscribe to alerts involving their addresses, so if their name is spoofed, they will immediately receive a notification in one of the convenient ways: Email, Telegram, Discord, Slack or Webhook. In addition, when combined with bots that detect subsequent stages of suspicious activity, we will have enough evidence to claim a scam attack. For example, the next follow-up checks could be obtaining tokens, selling them, and laundering funds through services like Tornado Cash.  As a result, the Forta ENS Spoofing Bot will play an important role in detecting scam attacks, maximizing the chances of their detection. About the Author I'm a Ukrainian developer, who has been developing bots for Forta Protocol since the beginning of the project. You may have seen me as a frequent contest winner as well as an active member of the community. At the moment I developed 16 bots, some of them are in the Forta Threat Detection Kit.",2022-08-30T13:25:39.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7302,True,True,0xCbbd18d3aC27ab0FFfD04BCCd091B2802c92e0ca,TaterDAO brings accurate real estate data on-chain,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7302/taterdao-brings-accurate-real-estate-data-on-chai,"TaterDAO is developing the legal and technical primitives to bring real estate on-chain. This is an important problem to solve because the foundation of all sustainable efforts to reward and shape climate solutions are grounded in real estate. Offices, factories, solar farms, homes, farms, and every other real world asset touches real property (i.e. real estate). Low hanging fruit climate solutions involve LED lighting, solar power, biomass, soil capture, upgrading of HVAC systems, wind energy, etc. All of those efforts happen in or on a building, home, farm or other form of real estate. In order to identify, create and develop climate solutions, we need to accurately identify and classify land and bring that land on-chain. All other real estate Web3 startups need what we're building to: Accurately identify and classify real property Create NFTs accurately representing real world property assets Nesting an LLC within an NFT, to transfer ownership to property without having to change title LLCs can own the title Accurate ownership representation on NFTs allow regenerative finance operations to borrow and lend capital involving real world assets Metadata is geared specifically for real property, with location, deeds and/or title External oracles will be used to monitor and manage real property climate solutions in real time. Our composable smart contracts and NFT standards enable ReFi, DeFi and climate solutions to tap into $1T worth of liquidity and unlock new business models. Land classification data is a public good necessary for the success of all climate solutions projects. Learn more on our Github at: https://github.com/TaterDAO/app.  Why is the TaterDAO a useful and necessary solution and an integral piece of infrastructure that Climate and Refi projects can build on?   The reason that it is important for projects is that it would enable verifiable and on-chain ownership and management of real properties via DAOs.  So, an example would be that a DAO would be able to legally own a real property and then coordinate around concrete and on-chain benchmarks that are verifiable. The metadata would allow someone to scale a climate/refi project and provide due diligence materials to donees and/or investors, and the external links would/could point to external sources and perhaps oracles. An example, might be to point directly to a soil, temperature, or water sensor that would allow the NFT to serve as a Treasury asset of a DAO, and also users, donors and other parties to wayfind the property location, deed, property boundaries, review important documentation and even review the data feed from the sensor.   Then with real property ownership it is trivial to have a legally wrapped DAO using the NFT as the node to enter into legal agreements, which no project is immune from.  So, with a TATR NFT a climate project could coordinate to manage DAO owned property, issue subrights, for example solar leases, or place the property into a trust that is governed by a DAO.   Projects with climate related missions that would be natural fits to build on top of TaterDAO NFT’s infrastructure are in no particular order. BasinDAO Regen Registry (issue TATR NFTs that reference the Regen Registry) and have coordinated regenerative process in a DAO ownership Charged Particles Ecology Guild - TATRs will also be capable of being charged with donations, or other ecosystem reward tokens. Carbon projects.  This creates a snapshot, and ownership, and ability to monitor progress and milestones. As an example to connect the dots we have this example of a Regen project on the TaterDAO arbitrum chain.  Metadata allows: Easy access to relevant metadata fields for real estate/refi specific fields Land classification (what is the project) Location Legal Ownership (deed, title) Tax Parcel information (verify ownership and taxes) Ownership Names KML - Easily Use Google Earth or other viewer to fly to location and review the snapshot of the property What we commit to build with the grant: more specific documentation on how refi projects can use Tater DAO to own NFTs and manage property.   As an example, look at this open source research.",2022-08-30T13:44:12.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7303,True,True,0xFBE7a5a6B823B514aE952D51820940D286EB3Ef1,Greatness: A Loot Podcast Series,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7303/greatness-a-loot-podcast-series,"A four-part podcast series about the Lootverse from a professional journalist.

Many passionate people and organizations are already designing and building tools and systems to improve each of these research processes. We want to help create a structure that can integrate these movements into a cohesive system. The best way we see to accomplish this mission is by establishing new education systems. In our first step towards this goal, we are hosting ""research sessions"" viewed by a ""collective intelligence"". In the research session, a researcher records their laptop/room/conversation (depending on the type of research), much like Steven Wolfram does: Steven Wolfram Live Streams. The sessions are viewed by a ""collective intelligence"": anyone in the world who is excited about learning and advancing science, essentially the ""students"". It is unique because they converse online, answer each other's questions, and only once a week communicate their unanswered questions to the researcher. Primary advantages of our proposed approach are: Free education that is accessible to anyone in the world. Higher quality research, accomplished through peer review happening during ""research sessions"". Reducing teaching time: professors who don't want to be teaching do not need to be thanks to our system that relies on the professor communicating with the student's ""collective intelligence"". Integrating research into the real world by incentivizing a decentralized team to execute on required tasks. Training of the next generation of researchers with hands on experience from world class experts. Our primary objectives right now are onboard 3 researchers in the fields of human computer interaction, psychology and mathematics. We think these fields fit our model well and will be valuable learning experiences for this to scale. If you are a DAO, we are also excited about working with you! Instead of a researcher, the “session leader” would be a leader from your DAO, and your audience would be people who want to get onboarded into your community. Giving your potentially new community members access to the brightest minds in your org, without distracting your bright minds from building. We are excited about this model because ANYONE IN THE WORLD will have access to what world class experts on any given topic are CURRENTLY working on. Right now, only the researchers collaborators have access to this information. The public has to wait years until the research is published. Moreover, the researcher needs to exert the same amount of energy as they would with ONE graduate student, in order to get the collective intelligence of potentially thousands of individuals (Steven Wolfram has 1k-2.5k viewers for each of his live streams).

By looking at the profile in trl-certificate.org you will see all three certificates (and all areas) of the user, as well as learn his/her ORCID or Researcher ID and if needed go to biography and works of a specific researcher.   Working solution now: SCOPUS. But we can interact with this system. This is not direct competition, it's a mutual reinforcement.   + Financing is required for specific areas TRL Alliance/Science certificate & Global ID: 1) Development of two-way API-system of registration and automatization with preparation for integration Web 3 2) Development and integration of inalienable NFT. It allows the project to receive audience without any loss. Afterwards it will allow to launch a model UGBI being the direct target of TRL Global Foundation, so it means a constant use.  3) Implementation of AML/KYC into the project (will be complemented by third party funding)   + Web3 and Global Science ID. The next stage of development includes creation and implementation into to system Web 3: •            Appropriation of NFT to every certificate; •            Integration to each profile of inalienable NFT •            Creating blockchain-tool for mutual data exchange with ORCID for all members TRL Alliance/Science •            Automation of welcome accrual of digital currency CSDG to wallets of registered researchers   Task of TRL Alliance/Science: use data confirmed by research, implementing these results more quickly and applying them to practical areas. The first phase has a special emphasis on the area of solving social problems and the crisis of democratic institutions. All this became possible due to the fact that the system of licences deigned for TRL Alliance / Science promotes, amongst other things, citizen science and funding of citizen advocacy right across the spectrum.   Our users can get connected with a pool of scientists (both local and international) to work on a single topic/project, the duration of which can last for ten or more years and which will also be supported by the TRL Global Foundation by including it in the inflation mechanism algorithm, etc. You can find like-minded researchers in specific areas ex.: trl-certificate.org/members/?r=Economics ; ex.: https://trl-certificate.org/members/?r=Special+sectors etc. [Test mode.

Here we will focus largely on DIDKit, due to the complexity of its problem space and its applicability to a wide variety of use cases. Ultrapods aims to make a useful, open, and versatile toolkit, which drives our design of each component to be modular and just complex enough to do the heavy lifting for a wide range of use cases. DIDKit provides Verifiable Credential and Decentralized Identifier functionality across different platforms. DIDKit's core libraries are written in Rust due to Rust's expressive type system, memory safety, simple dependency web, and suitability across different platforms including embedded systems, but the comprehensive DIDKit SDK includes many libraries and interfaces for using it almost everywhere. As more and more real-world value gets digitized over the decades, ""identity data"" has become a chokepoint for virtually all other digital value systems. Furthermore, every central repository of personal information has become a target of opportunistic business models, many of them illegal and based on exfiltration and interception of personal data. The legal spheres of so-called ""ad-tech"" and data brokerages and the illegal spheres of espionage, identity theft, and industrialized computer fraud share many characteristics. Ultrapods is an open-source, decentralized identity platform that works openly to advance these technologies in a sustainable, standards-driven way. We share the values of the community that has been driving this technology for a decade, and we want to see it succeed in the most organic and decentralized way possible.

However, compared with unstoppable domain, ENS still have much less registration numbers (Till Aug 2022, unstoppable domain has more than 2.5 million names registered while ENS total registration number is still less than 2 million.)  We think the key reason behind this situation is that it is actually more difficult for new users to have one ENS name since most of them will encounter difficulties in acquiring Ethereum, paying gas fees and even having a wallet, which are all essentially needed in registering an ENS name. Buy.ensdom.com is a website to help more new users to register their first ENS name without concerning about the trouble to get ETH and the lengthy time to understand the complex ENS registration process. Our mission is to help more newcomers to join the ENS community with extreme convenience and best ENS registration experience, thus helping to grow the ENS ecosystem. Our service helps the users to buy their ENS domains in 24 hours at a fixed price in USD. Once customers try our service, we will help register their chosen ENS names instead and transfer to their wallet in 24 hours. Thus, people will no longer have to worry about the gas fees nor having ETH. What all users have to do is to choose the ENS name they want to register, provide necessary information to us, check out through their own credit card and wait for our confirmation email that we’ve actually sent your name on your wallet within 24 hours. By using our service, customers can actually purchase their desired .eth names without the hassle of having their own ETH plus other fees. Even people who lack understanding and knowledge about the requirements of purchasing their own ENS name can actually have their own .eth names by using our site.

We, Divine pandas are a team of the app and web experts whose only goal is to improve client productivity and business strength by providing affordable and effective marketing solutions. Founder Divya Jyoti Sen and co-founder Jade Lai-ting li started a team of 22 web experts with over 12 years of experience that can provide the best website design, development, and marketing services to grow their client’s business online. Recently we have launched a new platform called Newsmartjob to provide opportunities and freelancing gigs to job seekers in the blockchain industry. Ours is the only blockchain smart contract freelance platform to ever exist. Smart contracts are digital contracts that work on certain terms and conditions to make sure whether an agreement is automatically executed or not. Official contracts like these are necessary to satisfy the freelancers and the clients that their payment and task will be completed satisfactorily.As a freelancer, it’s very important to have trust and transparency with your clients. Because that is the foundation of any successful business. There are numerous platforms out there that help freelancers get good gigs and consistent work. But when it comes to payment, their process is either too slow or clients back out at the last moment.Whatever the reason, freelancers have to suffer in the end. They are overworked and denied their reward, whether intentionally or unintentionally. But this doesn’t happen with Newsmartjob because we use smart contracts like MetaMask to avoid any kind of payment delay. Interestingly, we are the only ones to have this system as of now. MetaMask is a kind of smart contract or a cryptocurrency wallet that singlehandedly works on both desktop and mobile devices. It is popular because of its ability to buy, send and receive cryptocurrency from within the wallet. Smart contracts provide this level of security and safety among job seekers to maintain their trust. With the presence of these digital contracts, it becomes easier for freelancers to provide great value to their clients without any second thoughts. Newsmartjob accepts everyone around the globe to be a part of their platform and earn a consistent income through it. With emerging advanced technologies like these, people can trust freelancing as a legit carrier choice. Just like other jobs, freelancing has its pros and cons but one of its biggest drawbacks was denied payment. Nobody likes losing their hard-earned money. Newsmartjobs understands this pain and agony and their smart contracts act as a painkiller for the same. Please contact us for more details.

Include distribution of free sterile syringes, condoms, etc. Who am I? MD, spec in infectious diseases, a researcher in Public Health, charity initiatives creator, science-inspirator (myriad of ideas ;). 7-yrs experience in complex cases curation, including HIV, viral hepatitis, and COVID-19. I was one of the first specialists to describe and publish a study of prolonged (318-days) COVID-19 in a B-cell lymphoma patient (https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-750741/v1). For the past six months, I have been involved in the UK-based Bionabu charity initiative dedicated to telemedicine consulting Ukrainian residents and refugees with infections. Having a Master's degree in Public Health Sciences, I became the author & co-author of several research papers in recognized scientific journals such as BMC Infectious diseases, Frontiers in Medicine, Health Information Science and Systems (https://scholar.google.ru/citations?user=k7pjtEoAAAAJ&hl=ru). Reasoning Usually, Public Health (PH) is considered a well-established area. However, its policies have low effectiveness despite all the efforts of official international healthcare regulators & a large number of non-profit services. In addition, the lack of widespread tradition of assessing and dynamic re-evaluation of results robs the Healthcare authorities & humanity of completed discoveries and policies. To these accidents we can attribute the famous “hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19” case (the drug is not useful and quite harmful), or “anti-arrhythmic meds always save lives in infarct patients with extrasystoles” (can save from acute deterioration, but increase overall mortality in this population). Talking about researching & reporting flank, we can see a scandalous inability to formulate necessary research questions in big PH-study designs and ridiculous systematic errors in collecting population-level data that negate further study results. The ongoing competition between scientific groups for resources & journal places that are mainly allocated for the most “positive” findings, combined with research centers' willingness not to lose their reputation, diminishes the capacity of PH Sciences. Hence, independent Public Health initiatives are conducted in a ""detective"" manner if we mean quality evaluations. It is unwelcome for understandable reasons. That’s why we are here - to create the first independent web3 social ecosystem for Public Health research proposals posting, evaluation and further transparent reporting of findings and well-annotated data (FAIR-data). It will provide an opportunity to conduct collegial motivated study designs reviewing and transparent findings-reporting with rewards for participants via specific smart-contract algorithms. The main purposes of PH are more than the prevention of diseases and arrangement of medical help on the social scale, it is also in discovering effective mechanisms for communication and experience exchange between professionals. Modern communication technologies as well as significant demand for high-quality medical help give opportunities for decentralized blockchain-based ad hoc medical councils (DCs) and health-technology assessment (HTA). This makes it crucial to attract the attention of public health authorities to the problem of doing such key discussions faster and with more independence & incentive to participants. PHS DAO' prototype We propose a DAO with web3 social features for public health specialists, DCs & HTA groups and groups of Social Media & Government relation groups. The community’s repositories will be for different public health issues & corresponding initiatives. All of them will repeat the core repository's structure, consisting of specialists from different sub-fields of Public Health Sciences. The opportunity to ""fork"" the structure of the main repository will determine specialists' easy ""transfer"" between the main and issues-related repositories.    Main actions in such repositories: conducting a study designs evaluation via smart-contract-based voting & rewarding of participants; fundraising campaign in cryptocurrency via DeFi principles; assessment and reevaluation of the conducting studies; creating the non-removable reporting-record. in other words, fast and transparent report of the findings, even if they are misleading - it is important for storage of discoveries with intermediate meaning and negative ones - for further fixing of population's peculiarities, biases revealing, adjusted policies creation. It is very important for thorough meta-analysis and filtering of unsuccessful hypotheses or the circumstances for their realization. The PH measures suffer from the undesirable meeting of research intentions and redundant centralization. In it Public Health with Charity initiatives are similar. “PHS DAO: Decentralized Public Health Initiatives” give a birth to censor-detached and not mainstream projects but for most vulnerable populations, whose problems are too unpopular to be funded. PHS DAO' first proposed initiatives   There are two first proposed initiatives ready to be reviewed and conducted:   1) seamless distribution of antiretroviral therapy in HIV+ refugees population (without any ID documents) with further evaluation of HIV-circulation in it and it's impact for resistant HIV transmission and AIDS epidemics progression.   2) decentralized ad hoc medical council for ethics problems in everyday medical practice - target population is medical specialists that work in circumstances of undivided responsibility (https://blog.gosh.sh/p/medical-ethics-and-artificial-intelligence). Both of them, if will be realized, give not only policies for the target populations (HIV+ refugees and medical doctors), but also a meta-level estimation of HIV transmission, as well as prevalence of ethical issues in different societies.

What's more, every ENS user will be able to receive an alert if it happened to their name. The problem Names in the Ethereum Name Service are unique, but there are no restrictions on registering look-alike names that are visually very difficult to distinguish from genuine ones. For example, having a name vitalik.eth, an attacker can register a similar name by replacing the symbol lowercase L with uppercase i: vitaIik.eth. The name is visually similar, but it is treated by the protocol as a completely different name, with its own hash, as well as an address bound to it.  This type of attack is called a homograph attack. Regarding the ENS protocol, it can be performed in the following ways: Substitution of character pairs i/I, i/j, O/0, w/vv, m/rn, which depending on the typeface, may be difficult or impossible to distinguish; Replacing ascii characters with visually similar ones from Unicode; for example, “faсebooсk.eth” uses the letters o and с from Cyrillic; Use of invisible Unicode characters;  Spoofing using uppercase letters; for example, bitcoin.eth may be spoofed as Bitcoin.eth.  ENS fights this attack pretty hard by normalizing names before they are registered, as well as warning against using non-ascii characters on its site. However, to save gas, such checks have been implemented off-chain, on the frontend side. Any user can register a name bypassing the official site by calling the protocol contract directly. The Proposal It is proposed to develop a Forta bot that monitors on-chain contract events responsible for registering "".eth"" names. As soon as the bot detects a new registered name, it tries to normalize it and checks if a similar name has already been registered. If so, the bot fires an alert specifying the registered name, the existing normalized name, and the addresses of the accounts to which these names are bound. Forta Protocol allows each user to subscribe to alerts involving their addresses, so if their name is spoofed, they will immediately receive a notification in one of the convenient ways: Email, Telegram, Discord, Slack or Webhook. In addition, when combined with bots that detect subsequent stages of suspicious activity, we will have enough evidence to claim a scam attack. For example, the next follow-up checks could be obtaining tokens, selling them, and laundering funds through services like Tornado Cash.  As a result, the Forta ENS Spoofing Bot will play an important role in detecting scam attacks, maximizing the chances of their detection. About the Author I'm a Ukrainian developer, who has been developing bots for Forta Protocol since the beginning of the project.

However, after it was blocked by The US Department of Treasury, other projects will likely take over this niche. Aztec Protocol, which is a privacy-first zk-rollup on Ethereum, could be a potential such project.  The Proposal To improve attack detection in the Forta Protocol ecosystem, it is proposed to develop two separate bots covering both the account funding stage before an attack and the money laundering stage that occurs after the attack is performed. Funded Account Interaction Bot This bot detects when an account that was funded by Aztec Connect interacts with a contract. The severity of these findings is low, as they do not indicate malicious activity. However, in the presence of other suspicious activity, they greatly increase the accuracy of attack detection. Money Laundering Bot This bot detects when numerous large transfers are made to Aztec Connect, potentially indicating post-hacking money laundering activity. All user transfers are summed up within a specified time and checked for exceeding the threshold. The severity of such findings is high. These bots will work similarly to existing bots for Tornado Cash, and I'm sure they will be able to increase the accuracy as well as the number of detected attacks.  About the Author I'm a Ukrainian developer, who has been developing bots for Forta Protocol since the beginning of the project.

Our mission is to enhance participation in decentralised science (DeSci) to help drive innovation. The event will have two tracks – code and no-code – to enhance diverse participation and solutions. All submissions will be open source. Participants will be encouraged to form teams with people who have a range of skill sets. From those with traditional science backgrounds to those with web3 backgrounds and knowledge. This will also help participants to expand and diversify their current networks. Teams will be encouraged and supported to experiment with web3 tools (e.g. SNARKs, knowledge graphs, NFTs) to solve specific problems in modern science. Teams will also be encouraged to think through risks and follow the values of Science as a public good, Putting science first, and Improving the quality of science (learn more from the team’s DeSci.Berlin talk). Previously, the team have helped catalyse the DeSci movement through education, articles, creating the DeSci Guild within KERNEL, hackathons (code submission) and ideathons (no code submission). They are keen to now push DeSci innovation through this dedicated global initiative. Grant funding will be used for: event prizes, developing educational materials to support participation and experimentation, event design and organisation.

PLB is a UK-based meeting place, bringing together people and organisations in regenerative practice to create the right conditions for systemic change. Land is the basic platform for life; we improve access to land for regular communities. PLB’S PURPOSE AND VISION PLB is a Community Interest Company that facilitates equitable, regenerative places and ways of living for the people of the UK. Land sits at the core of many social, ecological and economic issues. Effective stewardship of land will be central to sustaining biodiversity, sequestering carbon, and maintaining general environmental health. Local access to land will be central to food system literacy, and localised food supply chains – not to mention mental and physical health. Rising land prices are driving housing affordability crises in many places, which amplify existing inequalities, whether racial, gendered or class-based. This is a snapshot of the context we are working in: The UK is home to a wealth of community-led housing projects – but often groups feel like they are navigating uncharted waters. Knowledge, resource and tool sharing could and should be streamlined. Many people want to develop sustainable, affordable ways of living – but struggle to find like-minded people with which to form settlements, co-operatives or community land trusts. Community-led housing groups, small businesses, among others, often cite access to land as a key barrier. The price of land in the UK has skyrocketed, growing by almost 600% since the mid-90s. Those who successfully find land, they find themselves struggling with volunteer burnout due to lack of compensation for labour, or the weight of administrative and governance responsibilities. Land is more and more inaccessible, which is a huge issue as we face housing, biodiversity, and climate crises. PLB addresses this first through creating robust networks through which to learn, collaborate, and build. Our long term vision is to help realise a diverse network of decentralised regenerative settlements, with providing for their basic needs through land-based practices. Connecting communities affected by lack of access to land, and building coalitions among those who have shared values and goals, will be key in pursuing these diverse neighbourhoods. This way, we can share diverse skills, experiences, resources and privileges, in order to learn and build together. When more alliances are formed, we hope to develop easily replicable models for acquiring and stewarding land, with a view to developing regenerative, equitable settlements. We could connect those who want to live low-impact with landowners seeking to use their land in civically-minded ways, for instance. We want to share knowledge so that more people can learn how to navigate the opaque and daunting planning system, develop replicable pathways to acquiring and stewarding land, or experiment in democratic methods of neighbourhood governance (often known for its administrative bloat and bureaucratic burdens, thus essentially limiting participation to those who are time-wealthy). GRANT Our next step in this journey is to hire a dedicated community manager. Our online community already consists of people from all over the UK. To nourish a robust, resilient community and make the most of our networks requires more time and energy than we volunteers currently have capacity for; to be sustainable, such labour must be fairly compensated. \\n\\nAs we navigate the uncharted waters between land reform, regenerative placemaking and web3 in the UK, we will need the help of various advisors who are more experienced and knowledgeable in web3 than we are. Most of our volunteers come from the built environment and community-led housing spaces, and we will need technical and strategic support from people familiar with the UK context and the broader web3 landscape.",2022-08-31T07:34:50.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7327,True,True,0x6B5918D8EF9094679F4b4e1Bf397a66eA411B118,ColtonArt - Regen Art & Fundraising,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7327/coltonart-regen-art-fundraising,"100% of my art sales fund social causes. $154,389 have gone directly to support the Gitcoin Matching Pool by selling over 200 individual artworks over the past year.

Fortunately, many solutions and sustainable systems already exist and what we must do now is coordinate around a shared vision. Solarpunk art gives viewers a glimpse of the thriving world we can create. Earlier this year, I curated the ETHDenver solarpunk art gallery that brought together 36 optimistic artists to share their visions of a bright future. Today, my art weaves together solarpunk themes and specific web3 organizations that are having real-world impacts such as @all4climatedao @RegenFdn @Earthbasedsoul @ToucanProtocol @KlimaDAO @spark_eco @nori and others. My target audience is individuals who are passionate about building a better future and curious about how Web3 can play a part. The call to action is to (1) turn the viewer’s curiosity into further research and (2) direct viewers to NFT auctions (e.g. DoinGud.com) where 100% of funds go directly to public goods. The first step to building a better future is imagining it. Solarpunk art gives us a peek into those futures by depicting thriving worlds that are post-scarcity and sustainable. My work focuses on mythologizing web3 stories by creating accessible and engaging experiences for viewers.

We are working to develop Active Blockference into a modern framework for cognitive systems engineering in blockchain & cyberphysical ecosystems. The Active Inference Institute (AII) is a non-profit open-science institute curating and developing applications related to the Active Inference framework. The goal of AII is to produce cutting-edge education and research to enable real-world applications of Active Inference. AII also seeks to scaffold the Active Inference community: increasing the competency of participants & raising broader awareness of these topics. As the DeSci ecosystem rapidly expands, it will become increasingly important have historical, real-time, and anticipatory awareness for researchers and organizations. This kind of situational awareness will be vital for maintaining public goods such as Science, Education, and social Communities. In this grant we are aiming to operationalize our Active Entity Ontology for Science (AEOS), through the use of the Active Blockference open source package, to enable this kind of modeling. Active Inference is an approach to modeling cognitive entities which is being applied to many fields ranging from artificial intelligence to communication, trust, and collective intelligence, and regenerative finance. We are building Active Blockference to be a simulation and design package that uses cadCAD to implement Active Inference (ActInf). Briefly summarizing, ActInf agents act to minimize their uncertainty about the world though sensemaking and action, reducing the divergence between their predictions and observations. Resources to learn more: 200+ Livestreams covering many Active Inference papers and topics Active Blockference presenting on the cadCAD community call from August 3, 2022 Active Blockference presenting on the SCRF community call from August 25, 2022 Where is the project and team currently at? Currently, several working Active Blockference simulation notebooks are available, and our all-volunteer project team meets twice weekly. We have been in development on this project specifically for around 1 year, and the Institute has been in operation since the beginning of 2021. We are seeking resources to increase the pace of development, scaffold partnerships, and acquire computational resources. This project is scaffolded and stewarded by the Active Inference Institute (https://www.activeinference.org/). We are an international team of distributed researchers (currently active contributors to the project include: Jakub, Bleu, Janna, Daniel, Brock, Sidcode, Amit, Shady, Peter, and more. We are working closely with the cadCAD development team, and using their platform BlockScienceLabs. Additionally we are connected/collaborating with several relevant groups in Web3 (such as Kernel Community), the DeSci space such as OpSci (via project participants Jakub and Shady). We have been interested to apply Active Inference to the setting of Web3, DeFi, and Decentralized Science (DeSci) for some time now, resulting in our paper from March 2022: “An Active Inference Ontology for Decentralized Science: from Situated Sensemaking to the Epistemic Commons“. In this paper we provided an overview and contextualization of Decentralized Science, and introduced the AEOS framework which this grant will develop upon. Currently, Active Blockference simulates the cognitive processes and goal-directed behavior of a single-agent. Our goal is to expand this simulation into a multi-agent model, in order to explore the cognition and behavior that drive successful DeSci and DeFi projects. As a multi-agent simulation, Active Blockference would facilitate the rigorous analysis of consensus protocols and Web3 communities prior to deployment. It can serve as a sandbox where we explore the cognitive, micro-economic, behavioral, and decision-making processes of DeFi. Hence, we aim to develop the tooling, use cases (case studies), and educational resources that enable a cognitive audit of DeFi protocols in Web3. The addition of this cognitive layer into the DeFi development stack will facilitate trust in DeFi protocols within the Ethereum community, thus maximizing the value of these projects. What are the next steps for Active Blockference? Specify the entity types that are involved in DeSci using AEOS Create Active Blockference entity models in cadCAD Compose simulation environments based upon specific use cases Do parameter sweeps in cadCAD across system and cognitive parameters ??????????????????????????? Have an epistemic commons that works for everybody This grant we will have 3 main aims and areas of output. Develop the Active Blockference package to address the blockchain setting with a focus on the social and technical aspects of DeSci ecosystems. Use Active Blockference to understand behavior within ETH/Web3 ecosystems, including DeSci and DeFi. Here we will complement existing cadCAD simulations and case studies Improve educational materials, documentation, and public communications (e.g. blog posts) to onboard new people to the Active Blockference community. This will included Low/No Code application running Active Blockference What would success look like for Active Blockference? Providing a library/package anyone can build on top of with software affordances (like Git), to enable cognitive modeling & cognitive auditing of epistemic ecosystems in DeSci and beyond. How does this project benefit the greater Ethereum ecosystem? The ETH ecosystem is challenged by projects that fail to realize their expectations, due to insufficient consideration of the cognition & behavior of people using them. This can look like the failure of communities/protocols to persist for various reasons, here we are most interested in the behavioral aspects of these phenomena. The Active Blockference package and framework will facilitate rigorous cognitive audits of Economic protocols, epistemic ecosystems (as in DeSci), as well as Web3 communities, during design time and run-time (realtime tools for adaptive organizations). Implementing Active Blockference within the ETH ecosystem will add value, and scaffold community cohesion in several ways: We have advanced structural and macroeconomic models for Ethereum in cadCAD. However, there are no entity models for ETH, limiting the usage of behavioral and microeconomic models. These types of entity models could complement structural models, for example by enabling better understanding of the behavioral aspects of cryptoeconomic systems, fostering healthy interactions, planning with foresight, and applying of corrective interventions While ETH mainnet transactions are transparent for all, explainability is not. Active Blockference will contribute towards explainability via interpretable visualizations, natural language descriptions, and useful simulations. ETH elaborations: ETH infrastructure is undergoing rapid development and deployment, Layer 2’s, ZK rollups, and other innovations position the ecosystem in a constant state of change that can benefit from the ActInf approaches inherent principles and sensitivities working with cognitive agents acting under uncertainty. Cognitive Security in ETH: Cognitive auditing — Beyond today’s smart contract auditing (inferring situated, motivated outcomes). The implementation of an Active Entity Ontology in cadCAD will provide the ETH community with a working model of active and informational agents as well as their affordances (e.g. a smart contract is an informational agent with predefined affordances). The accessibility of on- and off-chain systems will be facilitated via open source Active Blockference models of cognitive-behavioral systems, permitting validation of ETH protocols using no/low-code simulations. An open source software package that connects ETH on- and off-chain activity and packages already in use (such as cadCAD) to broader currents related to Cognitive Science. This connection could enable algorithmic project “cognitive audits” to maximize the value of projects deployed on Ethereum. For example currently, smart contracts are statically audited for security (e.g. unintended interactions within/among contracts). With Active Blockference it would be possible simulate a testnet blockchain environment, where smart contracts usage is evaluated as interacting with dynamic cognitive agents. This could result in fewer projects that are viable from a “smart contract security” perspective but unviable from a behavioral perspective. What is new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful? We are un-boxing DeSci collaborations through ontology-driven applications of cognitive science and organizational design. Researchers would know what ropes to climb, in order to contribute and succeed in terms of implicit goals. Active Inference centers the role of intrinsic motivation (motivators such as curiosity and learning, as opposed to extrinisic motivators such as tokens), a crucial factor for DeSci. Our work will be a solution which can templatized and inherited upon to adapt to different team settings. We are building tools for many kinds of organizations in the ETH ecosystem, not only scaffolding our own work. Using Active Blockference, we are developing a new open source approach for modeling, evaluating, and designing DeFi / DeSci / Web3 community protocols. The framework of Active Inference will facilitate the cognitive modeling of Web3 system dynamics (individual and collective behavior, funding, treasuries, protocols, etc.) as well as the general Ethereum consensus mechanism.

If he was born in the 21st century, there's doubt such a theory would've been created. Here's why: Government grants --the main way that research is funded-- suck at funding and realizing neurotech research into products. The current process to get grants is slow, bureaucratic, fragmented and can take up to 50% of a professor’s time. As a result, neurotech lags behind typical innovation and commercialization in biotech. Additionally, you must repeatedly apply for grants every 2-5 years leading to short-sighted research. Less than 10% of data collected by publicly funded research in the US is published alongside their papers. An average of 70% of researchers have failed to replicate their colleagues’ work across disciplines. - OpSci This issue drastically affects the neurotech space as there is a scarcity of high-quality data for research. In addition, the current structures in academia deters researchers from sharing their data due to a lack of incentives or security. Even when data is shared, it is not guaranteed to be useful. Putting these two issues together, it’s difficult for any revolutionary scientific progress to be achieved in this academic ecosystem. There isn’t a question of how many Einsteins there are in the world. The question is How many Einsteins are lost in the current world of academia At NeuraDAO, we want to support talented researchers who are doing work in neurotech that will change the world. We do this by creating incentives to create and share high-quality data (via the NeuraDAO data marketplace), as well as creating more sustainable funding models for researchers. We hope our support will go towards creating long-term research and much-needed tooling, as well as bringing more accessibility and interoperability to neurotech data. We also plan to support the DeSci ecosystem by funding conferences, and “hacker houses” such as the potential NeuraHouse in ETHLisbon 2022.

We find, spotlight, and fund technological and other strategic infrastructure to help scientists and researchers solve some of the world's most pressing problems, with an emphasis on engaging the public. We seek to make long-lasting changes to the way science is produced and communicated so that it is more open, more democratic, and more optimized to benefit the public.  Current Actions, Supported Projects, and Expected Use of Donations   The SCI currently supports development behind two user-complete projects and their communities while also supporting the advancement of the DeSci ecosystem at large.    DeSci Ecosystem The DeSci movement is using novel technology to build tools for the scientific system. These tools will remove inefficiencies, redefine incentives, and reimagine what access means. Beyond all that, The SCI believes that the DeSci movement and the tools it is building are critical for rebuilding the bridge of trust between science and the public.   We believe strongly that a connected DeSci is a stronger DeSci. We hope to continue building a project-agnostic, permissionless, and free infrastructure on which the DeSci ecosystem can rely for support. In addition to our currently supported DeSci initiatives, with your help we hope to grow to support events and freelance development in the DeSci space while developing avenues of outreach and education for people new to web3, DeSci, and who want to use DeSci to get involved with the scientific system.   DeSci Weekly Roundups Our Weekly DeSci Roundups connect DeSci projects and their communities to one another.    DeSci Community Resources Repo We have launched and continue to develop a project-agnostic GitHub repo of DeSci resources. Projects, publications, and other resources can be added through issues, pull requests, or discussions on our Discord server. Conversations on potential additions or edits take place in public on the repo. We hope to build out repo maintenance infrastructure to include people not associated with The SCI.   Discord Notification Aggregation and Curation Service Our Discord server offers a curated announcements channel. We join all the DeSci Discord servers we find, create a listening channel for their announcements, and curate high priority, critical announcements into our announcements channel. The DeSci community is welcome to leave notifications for that channel on and be confident that they will not have their wedding interrupted for an announcement about a community call. This way the community can stay up to date on the general development of the entire DeSci ecosystem without having to be involved or socially invested in every project.   Bounty Board We intend to incorporate DeSci bounties on our bounty board.   We look forward to supporting DeSci initiatives such as conferences and funding rounds as we further establish ourselves as a viable non-profit in the DeSci ecosystem.   DeSci Weekly Roundups DeSci Community Resources Discord Notification Aggregation and Curation Service    The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Networked Computing (BOINC) BOINC is the first highly successful permissionless distributed computing platform. It was developed out of SETI@Home in 1999. In many ways, it is the embodiment of DeSci.   To date, BOINC has been the driving force behind numerous computationally intensive research programs; There have been over 400 scientific papers published using results from BOINC projects. Some notable achievements include producing an accurate 3D model of SARS-CoV-2 before crystallization-based models (Rosetta@home), developing a manufactured and distributed COVID-19 vaccine (Rosetta@home), finding new subatomic particles (LHC@Home), identifying pulsars (Einstein@Home), advancements in cancer marker and treatment research (World Community Grid), simulation of candidate molecules for next-generation solar panels (World Community Grid), advancements in climate research (ClimatePrediction.Net), along with many, many others.   BOINC ties the public to science, in part, by enabling any individual to create a distributed computing project for the cost of a server, which can be as simple as a personal laptop running in their garage. The public chooses to engage with the project, learn about the science, and participate. While BOINC is used by countless science enthusiasts, many of the large projects are supported by institutions such as universities from around the world, CERN, Krembil Research Institute, and the Max Planck Institute.   BOINC Radio Podcast The BOINC Radio has been hosting a BOINC oriented podcast for over two years! The discussions range from the greater implications of distributed computing, to BOINC specific architecture, to development hopes and dreams, to informal chats about various beverages. A weekly beacon for the community, the BOINC radio gives anyone who wants a place to share their BOINC story, and there doesn’t seem to be any end in sight.   The Project briefs The Project briefs are a spinoff from the BOINC Radio Podcast. They are detailed, yet palatable, explanations of BOINC projects, their science, and how to contribute. With over two dozen episodes recorded so far, the Project briefs will undoubtedly need new projects to spin up to keep going! Or maybe they can dig into the hundreds of projects from BOINC’s past…   Bounty Board The SCI currently hosts bounties for the BOINC community and development team.   The SCI hopes to further accelerate BOINC development and adoption by funding bounties, helping new distributed computing projects spin up their servers and connect their applications, and spreading education on the platform to institutions and enthusiasts far and wide.   BOINC Radio Podcast and The Project briefs - Or wherever you get your podcasts Bounty Board   Learn More About BOINC BOINC GitHub   Gridcoin Developed during the second altcoin explosion as the first PoW bootstrapped coin to transition to PoS (2013) and the first entirely science-based blockchain and Open Economic Network, Gridcoin is an open-source multi-incentive permissionless blockchain that mints and distributes cryptocurrency to various contribution-based and point-accruing systems. It currently distributes currency according to the relative processing power a network participant directs toward data-driven analysis and scientific discovery across BOINC.   The SCI hopes to support the Gridcoin community in its quest to use distributed ledger technology and economics to bring science to everyone, and everyone to science. Its main incentive structure encourages researchers to educate the public as to the value and methods of their research while encouraging the public to seek out information on the research itself.   The SCI believes that expanding and supporting the blockchain and economic protocol behind Gridcoin will serve to establish a resilient and persistent connection between science and the public.   Bounty Board The SCI currently hosts bounties for the Gridcoin community and development team.   The SCI hopes to further accelerate Gridcoin development and adoption by funding bounties, helping Gridcoin incorporate new point-accruing systems into its incentive layer, and, among other things, by providing a vehicle for formal representation throughout the DLT industry.    Bounty Board   Some stats: 3,400 unique staking nodes (2019) 7th of all blockchain projects as of Feb 2021 16,000 active contributors to distributed computing projects 18 incentivized BOINC projects Manual Reward Claims (MRC) (Aug 2022), which is a form of delegated staking by request, makes Gridcoin the first effectively no-cost entry PoS blockchain.   Cod.cloud presentation Learn More About Gridcoin More Gridcoin Resources Gridcoin GitHub   Expected Use of Donations The SCI has established a bounty board and intends to use a portion of the donations from GR15 to develop it to include bounties for all currently supported projects. Donations will also be directed toward community growth initiatives for all currently supported projects. Additionally and if possible, donations will be used to increase the number of projects The SCI supports. There are already a few projects we have our eyes on and we would love to develop the infrastructure to support them through bounties and community initiatives.

Lack of global opportunities Historically, iGEM teams have been affiliated with universities capable of providing mentorship and summer lab access. Not all universities have the resources to support these teams, which unfortunately leaves many students without access to the competition. Opening access LabDAO aims to launch a decentralized iGEM team to allow students from anywhere in the world to come together online and compete, regardless of their geographic or economic circumstances. Talented students will be invited to join this global team, where they will have access to experienced mentors and resources needed to invent new synthetic biology applications. How will funds be used? Funds raised by this Gitcoin grant will cover registration costs, laboratory expenses, and will help send team members to the 2023 iGEM International Jamboree to present their work in person. This unique experience will give the scholars a chance to develop a professional network in their field, practice their science communication skills, and celebrate their achievements. With any additional funding LabDAO hopes to support students who could not otherwise commit to the project full-time during the summer for financial reasons.

Lack of interest and liquidity from the crypto crowd for impact tokens and web3 solutions.   It is time-consuming, frustrating, and incomprehensible for those who are not living in both sectors.     Solutions 💡 Impacta was designed to scale both web3 and ESG sectors, reducing entry barriers for investors and entrepreneurs interested in innovative decentralized impact solutions.   We want to tackle these problems by providing an impactful web3 knowledge and entertainment hub and an instrument for direct exposure to the sector.    The index was created to scale investment opportunities and the liquidity of projects that have the potential to transform the world for the better.     The 3 goals ♻️   Accelerate impact: accelerate projects promoting a positive impact on the web3, providing networking, solutions, and access to human and capital. Increase Adoption: expand the exposure and liquidity of impact initiatives, increasing adoption of this asset class to transform them into a top leader class.  Make impact hype: through communities, memes, colors, and entertainment, we want to make impact fun again.     What are we doing? 🌎 Impacta is focused on 4 action fronts to scale web3 impact initiatives:   1. Mapping: Through the Impact & Web3 Database, built collaboratively with other DAOs, we map in a continuous, structured, and unified way, the existing bases on impact and web3 with a unitary taxonomy. 2. Scoring & Tracking: Development of a methodology, created for both users with no prior knowledge and crypto natives, so that they can learn in real-time about the most promising initiatives in the sector, through a scoring that takes into account numerous variables, such as security, innovation, liquidity, impact, and financial return. 3. Exposure & aggregate tools: We focus on assets that hold real value such as Carbon, Water, Renewable Energy, and Recycling Certificates, among other nature-backed digital assets and tokens with real impact use cases. We want to create the ground for additional DeFi instruments for impact tokens such as ETFs, futures, and other derivatives, in order to scale their impact, capitalization, and adoption. 4. Web3 transition: Drive the digital transition and scale operational and early-stage organizations that are already solving real-world problems, with a strong focus on real assets, such as forests, water, food, electronic waste, and solutions for global problems, such as erosion of sociability, financial segregation, and obesity.   What we have been working on 🏗 1. Mapping Collaborative database to map web3 projects, currencies, and initiatives with positive impact. The Impact & Web3 Directory is built collaboratively and has a detailed, and structured taxonomy.   Impact & Web3 Directory: We have joined forces with ReFi DAO to curate an open database of web3 projects that exist to create an impact on people and the planet. We have combined datasets across different organizations involved to create a unified database that will act as a public good for the space. We currently have over 400 unique projects in this database. Building with ReFi DAO, @aleborda, @climateXcrypto, @cyrusofeden, @merlinwizz   2- Scoring & Tracking Development of a methodology, created for both users with no prior knowledge and crypto natives, so that they can learn in real-time about the most promising initiatives in the sector, through a scoring that takes into account numerous variables, such as security, innovation, liquidity, impact certificates, and performance.   ReFi Rate-Athon: A rating event in partnership with Prime DAO, and ReFi DAO to help build trust in the ReFi space and encourage capital to flow to high-integrity projects. By creating an open framework for evaluation and rewarding researchers for their analysis—we built an MVP of a curated list of verified ReFi projects so that founders, talent, and investors can make sense of where to invest their time, energy, and capital. Building with Prime Ratings, PrimeDAO, ReFi DAO   3- Exposure & aggregate tools Allow access and exposition to the already curated base and tokens that live on different blockchains, in a simple, fun, and memetic way.   Positive Index: The Positive Index is an Open Source index that measures the positive impact of crypto assets and their performance to increase the exposure of an index that will rank companies in terms of their initiatives related to the environment, and governance (ESG), based on specific impact parameters. Building with 2TM, Mercado Bitcoin, Nossa Terra Firme, Idesam   4- Web3 transition Drive the web3 transition to achieve scalability of operational and early-stage organizations that are already solving real-world problems, with a strong focus on real assets, such as forests, water, food, and electronic waste, and global problems, such as erosion of sociability, financial inclusion, and obesity.   Impacta Podcast: Impacta Podcast is focused on exploring real impact use cases that are scaling through web3 tooling and technologies. We publish content especially in Portuguese, as we feel the gap between the Brazilian audience in the ReFi and positive impact spaces inside crypto. One of our main goals with the content we produce is to engage, increase participation, and invite the Latin American crowd to the impact revolution. Building with Gaia Greentech, Barterchain, Celo Foundation     We believe that ROI and positive impact can be in symbiosis and that nothing will be more valuable than the assets that allow a good existence on earth.   Help us to keep making impact hype.

DeFi has immense potential to promote human flourishing, but that potential can only be fully realized with buy in from governments. We're working to make that happen.   The DeFi Education Fund is a nonpartisan education and advocacy group working to explain the benefits of DeFi, achieve regulatory clarity for its developers and users, and help realize the transformative potential of DeFi for everyone. Learn more about our work on our website, twitter, and substack.   Tornado Cash Smart Contracts Sanctioning Efforts   Treasury's sanctioning of  smart contracts—software programs—is the most significant policy action in crypto's history. While sanctions are intended to incentivize change in non-US persons' behavior, immutable smart contracts cannot be altered. Thus, the practical effect of the designations was to prohibit U.S. persons from using TC smart contracts. But, as we've all learned over the last few weeks, the downstream consequences already have grown significantly beyond that and may yet continue to.   What we've done so far: The day after the designations, we submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the US Treasury to help shed light on the sanctions action. Since the arrest of TC developer Alexey Pertsev in the Netherlands, we've been trying to found out whether it's related to the sanctions designation and gotten some very troubling new information and responses from the Dutch government in response (charges and relation to sanctions still unknown).  Worked to keep the community updated with what we know. Shared our perspective with Congressional offices on the situation and the inappropriateness of using sanctions authorities to ban US citizens from engaging in certain activities. Made the case in traditional media outlets, including the WSJ, NYT, Time, Cybersecurity DIVE, Decrypt 1, Decrypt 2, Coindesk, and The Information.    Our plan going forward:   Mitigate: We’re petitioning Treasury to issue “general licenses” that would allow US persons to engage in activities otherwise prohibited by the designation of the Tornado Cash smart contracts. Often when Treasury designates an entity, it’ll concurrently issue a “general license” to allow for US persons to “wind down” their activities and relationships with newly designated persons, entities, and (in this instance) so-called entities. For example, when Treasury designates a foreign financial institution, it can issue a general license for US persons to withdraw their assets and cease interacting with that financial institution for a period of time. A general license in this case could allow lawful US persons to, among other activities, withdraw their assets from TC smart contracts without breaching sanctions obligations. We (and many others) are also urging Treasury to issue guidance and FAQs with respect to the many outstanding and critical questions that are previewed above.   Advocate: We need to convince Treasury (and other governments) that sanctioning, restricting, or targeting the use of open-source software (and potentially those who write and publish open-source software) isn’t the best way to accomplish their policy objectives and isn’t in the US national interest on net. While the legal basis of the sanctions in this instance relies on considering non-persons/non-entities (software programs) as persons/entities, the government has a vast array of related and unrelated authorities that it could tap to effectuate a substantively similar outcome. The only thing certain is that we don't want to find out. The damage already caused by this situation has been consequential, and it’s not in anyone’s interest for something akin to this action to happen again.   Litigate?: Our friends at Coin Center have laid out why they believe the designation of a non-person/non-entity may be beyond the authority OFAC based its action on and may be unconstitutional.    More information and FAQs here on the Tornado Cash sanctions.   If you have questions about the TC designations, our work, DeFi policy developments, etc., please reach out.

By granting professional opportunities to the LGBTQIA+ community and effectively kickstarting careers, we are tapping into its largely unexplored, creative potential. We believe diversification of culture is essential to the future of crypto because, by the nature of decentralisation, blockchain is meant to be all-inclusive.

What is Mest？ Mest is an on-chain data analytics product. We plan to build widgets for the Gitcoin community so the community could get a comprehensive view of how Gitcoin and its grants are working.  i.e. When trying to understand Gitcoin, you can drag and drop different widgets like Grant, Token, DAO etc. to assemble a Gitcoin Story and write down your own insights. All the work above could be done within Mest, rather than copy and paste from different places. More importantly, Mest is trying to build the connections between content creators and their subscribers, so subscribers obtain content they truly need and the creators behind get paid in return. [Gitcoin Story Demo] Why a Gitcoin Grant？ We are a new start-up with limited capital and workforce. After going through Owocki’s insights, we are truly fascinated by the concept of “Public Goods”. We believe it’s especially critical to have more people understand Gitcoin's performance if Gitcoin DAO aims to be more coordinated (from culture and capital perspectives). Use of funds: 1 - Labor & machine costs on “Gitcoin Story” development. 2 - Donation to Primitive Lane (Non-profit research institute) if any funds are left to support their research on public goods and the Gitcoin ecosystem.

Hypatia Galaxy是一个聚合帮助华人女性项目的Web3公益DAO。 我们希望在HG社区，更多华人女性能在Hypatia发起项目，和参与帮助女性项目。 能否建立凝聚女生力量的社区，让她长期走下去，Hypatia Galaxy正在实践~ What is Hypatia Galaxy Hypatia Galaxy is a Web3 charity DAO that gathers projects aimed at assisting Chinese women. We hope that more Chinese women in the HG(Hypatia Galaxy) community will start projects and participate in projects that help women.Hypatia Galaxy is working hard to create a community that will unite the power of women and keep her going for a long time. Who Are We ? Hyptatia Galaxy's members are all female who have never met , and we are spread across China and the world.We are united by a desire to assist women and to create a humane DAO with a female perspective.We actively contribute, seek common ground, and genuinely assist one another. Our Vision We hope，Hypatia Galaxy is a female-led, growing community that embraces the power of female support and is welcoming, inclusive, supportive, secure, and comfortable. A place where every independent and diverse individual can meet like-minded female partners and discover the best way to participate in the creation. where with a close female perspective, anyone can gain knowledge, initiate projects, and gain growth, kindness, and warmth. We hope, Hypatia Galaxy, to investigate democracy from a female perspective and to achieve progressive decentralized governance in web3. For a long time, pass on the warmth and goodwill of helping women. The most rewarding thing for us would be if Hypatia Galaxy could grow and run on its own in the future without the participation of the initial core contributors. Our Mission Our mission is to be an inclusive, DAO that connects more women with projects. We assist project initiators in finding contributors and share our experience running communities and projects, so that more people with ideas can easily and smoothly initiate and organize projects. We assist women in finding projects that reflect their values. In addition, we set up various interest groups so that more women can play in Hypatia Galaxy, a corner full of security, and also slow down to be encouraged and warmed. Why it matters ? Chinese women in general face a difficult situation, However, now more and more Chinese girls are forming their own groups to help more women. In reality, we find that many groups tdon't work outdue to a lack of experience in running the programs,which is a pity.And various projects are like isolate islands, and girls willing to contribute cannot find the right projects and partners. Therefore, an inclusive platform that connects people with projects is extremely valuable. And Web3 is a great opportunity. If there is a decentralized community that gathers projects that help women, and people who interested in this ,and the community shares the experience of the projects that have sunk in, and runs the community infrastructure so that people are not distracted by running a community, so that they can devote themselves to the projects they love. We firmly believe that when girls band together, not only do the people being helped change and benefit, but both contributors and participants gain significant power. What we’ve done so far: We only started in July, and although we are small in number, we have already started to do what we can to prepare and build up the community to help Channels for Women Weekly-Presentation Project Women's Book Club Feminist Podcast Topics Discord bot development Community Events Mindful Gym Groups of Interest Stargazer Women's Workplace Support: support Cloud Movie Event More programs and interest groups are waiting to be unlocked. The future of Hypatia Galaxy As a public service DAO,We hope that Hypatia Galaxy will run for a long time, regardless of who leads it, and that we can be proud of that. Where we are headed next Expand social media operations to increase public exposure and attract more contributors. Proactively reach out to platforms with projects. Enhance public community programs such as podcasts, libraries and book clubs, spiritual fitness gyms. Gain practical experience in project and community governance. Hypatia Grant Operating costs: future costs for basic operations such as official website servers, volunteer compensation, and so on. If sufficient funds are available, we may be able to qualify potential community projects. This is Hypatia's first official appearance in public. We hope you enjoy and support us!

Using a DAO to build media has many benefits: decentralization ensures its neutrality and open source spirit, and deeper interactivity ensures its credibility and pluralistic values: everyone can join the governance, initiate the selection, and participate in the production of content. Pirate Radio will build a series of podcasts to achieve a complete sense of decentralized media to talk about Web3 in a Web3 way. Pirate Radio has attracted media professionals from frontline radio and podcasts, DAO researchers, and Web3 developers.

It enables DAOs to implement pods. Pods offer users a clean and easy-to-use UI to create and approve proposals within a small working group and allow DAOs to create organizational structure. From users’ perspective, Pod is a clean an easy-to-use interface for multi-sigs. Under the hood, a Pod is a Gnosis Safe with a light governance wrapper. Arronia’s Pods help solve the issues of DAOs being either decentralized or organized, but not both at once. Pods/working groups help organize otherwise sprawling DAOs, enabling them to maximize member contributions and leverage member expertise. Arronia enables DAOs to create small working groups based on expertise. Pod membership is represented with ERC-1155 tokens. Therefore, membership is non-fungible and can be made non-transferable ( to unqualified addresses). Pods can set custom rules to determine membership. They can be gated through hand-selecting trustworthy community members, various token staking requirements, or other methods and metrics. Pods are modular, so they can be created to fit the specific needs of each unique DAO. They can also interoperate or work independently, and attach or detach from each other in a lego-like build.

A Play To Earn (P2E) game similar to Minecraft or Sandbox but with an in-build Game Maker which will allow the Player to make complex games (puzzle and other genres) without any technical knowledge. User Generated Game Design and Monetization is main focus of the this platform. Players are incentivized to not only Play-To-Earn (P2E), but also to build Games and Monetize them. We will have A Metaverse game, A Game Maker and NFT Game Marketplace inside this Platform. Gamers are our main audience who will earn NFT by playing it, but also creators who will build complex NFT games with templates, scripts and Visual Editors Description of Level:- This is a Voxel-based puzzle game. The First Puzzle is based on optical Illusion similar to monument valley where Players can manipulate impossible architecture and Second Puzzle is based on Physics (looking around, turning keys, and activating switches). This involves the exploration of fantastic architecture and impossible geometry. Monument/Architecture Design Inspired by minimalist 3D design, optical illusions, and palaces and temples from around the world, every monument is a unique, hand-crafted world to explore. Users can create NFTs using voxel-based Monuments/Architecture. Twist and drag to reshape the world and help the user to explore. Designed to be easy for everyone to pick up, enjoy, and complete. Mystery Physics Puzzle It also has physics-based puzzles similar to Room where the player with a series of strange puzzle boxes that feature several physical mechanisms. The player is challenged to figure out how to open each one – typically by undoing a series of locks – to access another puzzle box within it. The game uses a variety of motions enabled by mobile device touchscreens to simulate actions in real life, such as looking around the device, turning keys, and activating switches. Future RoadMap Adding More Levels:-  There are only two levels of Gameplay available to Play. We need at least 20-25 levels of Gameplay to make it engaging for players to play. We also need soundtracks to be included in the Game. The following genre of Games are needed to be included in the Game:- Optical Illusion Physics-Based Puzzle (Finding Clue, sliding Puzzle, Combination Puzzle, Match3, jigsaw Board game (Hitman Go) Shooting game Fighter game\n-Action game NFT Card battle game City Builder (construct building, gather resources defense kingdom) Tower defense Turn-Based game RPG adventure and many more genres of Games. Building Better Open World:-This game needs a bigger Open world that can be explored during Gameplay. Interactive elements can be placed inside the Open world which makes them more immersive.  Better Integration of NFT:- Players have an Open World that they can explore. Puzzles are placed inside the Open-World which when solved, move Players to the next level of Metaverse(New World to explore). When players Solved the Puzzle, they mint an NFT with HitPoints, AttackDamage, and ShieldPoints. These NFTs can be Upgraded, bred, and battle with each other inside the Game. Players can also purchase Virtual land and in-game Assets as NFTs and Use them as assets to build any genre of Game. Real-Time Card Battle System:- Inside the Game NFTs can be minted, upgraded, and bred. Players can play the Card battle with each other. The winner can earn NFTs and Points, which can be used to upgrade or bred(Combining two NFTs to mint a new Powerful NFT). NFT and NFT Game MarketPlace:-NFT and NFT Game Marketplace:- We need a Marketplace where Creators can buy, sell and trade NFTs, NFTs Games, Virtual Land, Open-world, and in-game Assets. Users can rate and review the NFTs, which will improve purchasing decision process and Sales. Build Voxel Game Maker This is the most difficult part of this Game Platform. Creators can use Assets and available scripts to build the Game. It will need 1.5-2 months to finish the Game-Maker.. Templates of Open World and Puzzles will be available to customize according to the Player's needs. They can also import Voxel Assets from any voxel editor or the web and then use them to make the Open World of their Choice. They can sell them as NFT on Marketplace and monetize them. To build different types of Games, Scripts will be needed. For Players with no technical knowledge, there will be several Templates of different genres of Games with scripts, that will be available for modification and combination. With these templates available inside the Game Maker, Players can Change the variable parameters of the script or Add multiple instances of the same template/script to make complex Games. Users can combine different Templates/scripts to make Innovative Games inside the Metaverse and monetize them in the Marketplace. Visual Editor (similar to Unity Bolt) for a game where the User uses visual scripting like Powerful flow control graphs (similar to Unreal Blueprints) for low-level logic and complex tasks. Elegant finite state machines (FSM) for high-level logic and easy state management. Create and modify entire graphs while in Play mode. The Game-Maker will be a downloadable native application (Mac, Windows, Linux). A web application can be created for building Mini Games but to make Big Game Native application needs to be downloaded. So we will have a Web version of Game Maker for Mini Game and a Desktop Application for Big Game. Players can Rate and Review these Games according to their Liking. NFT GAME Marketplace The Rating and Review system needs to be added. It will take 10-15 days to finish it 1- The NFT Game Marketplace is an NFT marketplace where you can search and buy creator's ASSETS with Token to incorporate them into your Game. 2- The creator can build games with different assets and templates and monetize them by listing them in the Marketplace. 3- The creator can list both the Assets and Games in the NFT Marketplace and Monetize them according to their Ratings. 4- The Game in the NFT Marketplace can be organized according to their Ratings and Reviews.",2022-09-01T06:33:38.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7356,True,True,0x6a08ed0C51A3114D6a5347f1D0D33b1932dC93A7,ENS Onboarding Services at DomainsTheory.io,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7356/ens-onboarding-services-at-domainstheoryio,"What we are doing We launched DomainsTheory.io recently to help with onboarding individuals and businesses into the ENS project and remove the barriers of entry for the newcomers.

Learn more about this radically open experiment here. This project is being developed and championed by Vlinder Climate @vlinderclimate because of their exemplary impact. How does it work? “Papariko” project is restoring degraded mangroves sites in Kwale, Kilifi, and Tana River counties, in Kenya. Vlinder is working closely with a local partner company, UMITA limited, and the Kenya Forest Service to create a healthy mangrove ecosystem in degraded areas, starting with planting in 2022. In addition to carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change, the project also addresses environmental issues such as reducing the risk of natural disasters, promoting biodiversity, and linking forest fragments. An expected number of 1500 ha degraded mangrove areas on the Kenyan coast are restored and replanted. In the first project activity up to 138.000 mangroves will be planted in an area of 50 hectares in the Shirazi-Funzi complex in Kwale County in 2022. In the following three years, the project will expand to Kilifi and Tana River County. The species selected for this reforestation project are indigenous and local, namely Rhizophora mucronata, Ceriops tagal and Avicennia marina. The project will sequester an estimated 760,105 tCO2 over a period of 20 years. Project page on Verra: https://registry.verra.org/app/projectDetail/VCS/3660  Project page on Vlinder: https://vlinder.store/vlinder-kenya-blue-carbon  Why did we choose this project? During the last 60 years, the forest cover in Kenya has dropped by 40%, losing about 12,000 hectares annually. Poverty is the main driver for deforestation, as people have to rely on charcoal for cooking and have to clear forests for agriculture. Mangrove ecosystem is an outstanding choice for restoration: storing 5x more carbon than terrestrial forest and up to 40x times faster sink, protecting the shore, and serving as a food reservoir for local communities. The project is designed in a way that 50% of the carbon benefits will be shared to local stakeholders and communities, contributing to alleviation of poverty and long term ecosystem stewardship. What is the impact of additional funding? Mangrove restoration will increase soil carbon content and soil nutrient levels, improve water quality, increase fish populations, improve biodiversity, and provide other important ecosystem services.  Grant funding will contribute to:  purchase of the planting bags (1’000’000 are needed to establish a nursery for 2023 planting; each costs 1 KES, $0.00833); establishing a baseline for biodiversity measurement (20 monitoring sites, 15 permanent sites + 5 control sites; 50 enviroDNA kits are needed, $150 for each kit, including delivery and lab analysis). How do we verify the impact? This project is independently verified according to the CCB and SD VISta standards (Verra). The Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) standard identifies projects that simultaneously combat climate change, support local communities and conserve biodiversity. The Sustainable Development Verified Impact Standard (SD VISta) is the leading standard for certifying the real benefits of social and environmental projects. In addition to standard Verra certification, Vlinder implements full project area drone monitoring, measuring of the SDGs, conducting annual biomonitoring using eDNA of the water samples, focusing on changes in biodiversity overall and additionally on species classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List.",2022-09-01T09:23:38.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7362,True,True,0x64BC15E0A5A12dDbe321EEDD832d057775D11F56,Rainforest Monitoring Lab by GainForest & LabDAO: Radical transparency for nature-based solutions with DeSci & Web3,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7362/rainforest-monitoring-lab-by-gainforest-labdao-ra,"The rainforest monitoring lab is bringing together young engineers, students and scientist to contribute to an open and reproducible machine learning repository for rainforest monitoring.

However, DAOs are, in their emergence, still not the soft landing for tired hearts and minds.   Things were easier when we had more straightforward definitions of an organization and a few ways to relate too: employer and employed, LP and partner, organization and associates. When one thinks very limitedly, the solution space is easy. When DAOs came in, we said that we are all and more. You are a contributor, a member, a mercenary, a worker, a researcher, vibes officer, a client, a shareholder, a steward, a supporter and an enthusiast. We aspired to value everything. All the streams of value creation that were dismissed were niche and uncounted. Healthy to go beyond to forge new ways, yet we confuse ourselves by not having a language or map. And a reward that is expected and not met is a punishment.   As an ecosystem, we do not yet provide a clear and sure way to communicate and set expectations on what individuals might take back when they create value.

It is an interface between fanciful and purposeful labors. It keeps two worlds in balance: the integral vision of regenerative cryptoeconomics espoused by Gitcoin and the integral lore visualized by a whole community of sci-fi-fantasy-MMORPG-crypto-governerds. Our work is inspired by the Cellarius Universe Guide commissioned by ConsenSys. We interpret this project as an invitation: to dream wildly together, to meld the dystopian vision with our utopian ambitions, to meld the hopeful with the realistic, and take accountability for how our current focus on automated money might secure an intentional and optimistic future. Although Cellarius has fallen to the wayside, we wish to elaborate a fresh solarpunk vision with enough fidelity to allow a new audience of regen creatives to actualize these principles through their contributions. The key to our pluriverse is to render the imagery at a sufficient resolution to make it feel immersive and purposeful, yet alien enough to avoid perpetuating our rivalrous desires. We’re not talking about virtual cubicles or augmented meeting spaces, but a repository of that will probe the peripheries of the imagination. We are also just as interested in investigating how our virtual, augmented, and LARPing fantasies manifest in our meatspace habits and behaviors. The pluriverse is the UI between these experiential dimensions, and the Pluriverse Guide, DAO, and community are the incubators for our experiments. This is an excellent opportunity for the Ethereum community to elaborate on how our blockchain technologies can support fledging and speculative community development. We are dedicated to asking difficult social problems, meditating upon the tragedy of the commons, and securing support for public goods. We need to support each other to collectively peer beyond the apocalyptic veil, cross the threshold, and leverage our cryptoeconomic theories to manifest positive change in the world. We might take this opportunity to resist profiting off of our shared resources, to restrain ourselves from racing to the bottom, to rethink our motivations to preserve our abundance. Creatives have been used and abused so much that it has become a tragic-comic archetype, a living cliche of the disadvantaged visionary, the artist starving for cultural approval as well as a stable living wage. We need artists to continue asking the difficult questions, to crack us out of our collective neurotic, paranoiac, schizo-capitalist delusions, and dedicate themselves to imagining ways of moving beyond pure economic incentivization. We need artists to diminish the civilization’s obsession with heroic identities and illustrate a clear (and realistic) tomorrow without enslaving humans to the protocols of distribution in the process. This is a sincere call to very deliberately and intentionally meme ourselves differently to each other. What is our lore?  Storytelling is the technology of imagination. The stories that we tell ourselves create the constraints of our worldview and our ability to actively world new worlds. If we are constantly reinforcing an imagination architecture that presents us as subordinate or enslaved to powers beyond our control, then abracadabra! So it shall be! That is the reality that we will occupy. We must learn to manifest differently, and so we must learn to articulate differently, and so we must support each other to imagine differently. Who is the storyteller? What community do they represent? How is that community illustrated to itself and to others? How does the community orient itself to divergent perspectives? Our fantasies, myths, and markets suffer from scarcity. They provoke us to grind, to hoard, to incessantly level up. They are competitive and rivalrous, privileging customizability over standards that allow us to align and collaborate more effectively. How might we learn to change the canonical lore of our own imagination, to shift the narrative of the stories that we tell ourselves? We hope the Pluriverse Guide and the Gitcoin Comic series might support optimizing for human values, not perpetuating paperclip machines all the way down. We hope to play our part in this ontological game by strategizing to wield our memes with tact, subtlety, and profound nuance, to break the illusion of phantasmagoric shadow play that Moloch - which is to say - has cast upon our speculative future for far too long. We hope to nurture this community’s propensity to imagine differently and confront the Moloch meme inside all of us. We must not sacrifice our future potential to the memetic chimera!

We want to follow the example of The Genesis Scrolls and publish great lore for the Explorers era of Loot.   The Explorer’s Tribune already exists as a short newsletter that is sent out to holders of Loot Explorers. We want to redevelop and expand the Tribune in time for the launch of the Hideouts expansion for Loot: Explorers. The new Tribune will accept stories written by characters in-universe that could be (in-universe) fact or fiction. This would function as a way to keep collectors up-to-date with world events and updates, become an engine for driving Explorers lore, and encourage others to develop narratives within this ecosystem.   We propose to accomplish this by putting out a call for writers to contribute stories to the Tribune. Each month, our editors will select three stories to be published in the next edition. To facilitate the professional and creative development of our submitters, our editors will provide written feedback to the top 8 submissions.   With the grant we will be able to hire these editors to read and revise submissions from authors. There need only be two editors for each issue, and they can rotate their duties. Authors will be paid a flat fee for stories that are published.   The aim of the Shapers Society is to bring more attention, respectability and imagination to the Lootverse. We also want to grasp the golden opportunities arising with the dawn of Web3 publishing. The Eye for Adventurers and the Librarium are pioneering that model, and we believe that the Explorers world provides an ideal playground for brilliant minds.     The Explorer's Tribune We believe that now is perfect time to restart The Explorer's Tribune because The Loot Explorers team would like to feature editions of Tribune within their new Hideouts, as well as on their website. The Tribune will give added value to holders of Loot Explorers through exciting new fiction, it will reward creative people who are already enthusiastic about the world of Loot and will onboard new people, enriching the ecosystem with their ideas and experiences.   We will endeavour to make sure that, after publication, the stories featured in the Explorer's Tribune are shared with other relevant projects within the Lootverse, such as by contributing them to The Eye for Adventurers (as a society, we hold The Genesis Eye already).     The Budget A projected pipeline for each issue, with associated costs.   Editorial: The editors will read all entries and select suitable ones. The selected entries will undergo some rounds of copyedits, redrafts and tightening between the editors and the author. Rejected entries will be given meaningful feedback.   Each issue will have two editors and they will receive $150 each.   Editors for the first three issues (the scope of this grant) will be members of The Shapers' Society.   Writers: Successful submissions will earn their writer $200. We will include three stories per issue, so that amounts to $600.   Writers will be solicited from all corners of the Lootverse and beyond. Style guides and canon advice will be given by The Shapers' Society.   Social Media Baron: Each issue will be publicised through official channels. We will release a truncated version of the tribune for social media in addition to the full version to holders. Furthermore, the selected entries will be pushed to other relevant projects within the Lootverse. All of these small tasks are apart from the standard editorial, so a separate role is required.   The social media baron for each issue will be paid $50.   Redesign: We would like an artist to redesign the Explorer's Tribune, building on the original template, so it aligns well with the tone of The Shapers' Society. They will need to create designs for the truncated and full versions of the tribune, as well as for the style guide. For this work, we will allocate $200.   This gives us an operating budget of $950 an issue, with a one-off starting fee of $200. Our proposal here is to raise enough for three issues of the new Explorer’s Tribune as a pilot scheme. The total we need for all three issues is $3050.   The Shapers' Society As mentioned earlier in this application, The Shapers' Society consists of a group of writers working as Loot Explorer characters. In other words, all of our work will be completed in character; this would include all editing and feedbacking of article submissions, as well as running of social media channels. By embodying the ""Lore not Floor"" ethos in this manner, the Shaper's Society will contribute characterisations to both Loot Explorers and the wider Lootverse. Our society is open for people to join and is hosted as a guild in the Loot Explorer's Discord server. To give a flavour of our ethos, here is the Shapers' pledge:   As members of The Shapers' Society, we burden a great responsibility. We map the past by developing the stories and legends we judge to be valuable and, by doing so, we erase the rest of history. It is our work that will be remembered; our work provides a shared culture for future explorers to build and expound upon. Hence, it is vital that we all take the following pledge:   + As a shaper, I will collaborate, rather than compete, with my fellows.   + As a shaper, I welcome criticism and when delivering my own criticism, I will ensure that it is constructive and actionable.   + As a shaper, I understand that CC0 applies to work shared within this society, meaning that shared work is available for anyone to adapt or use as they like.     Many thanks for your time reading this proposal. Regardless of the success of this grant, we hope the Lootverse keeps flourishing.   Signed, The Shapers' Society   - Elroph - Ticklish - Mesmer - Psikos - Rymus",2022-09-01T13:15:15.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7372,True,True,0x5794e3BA7391b2b9806B738b20c3F2099e16Dd5d,ENS University,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7372/ens-university,"ENS University will help share knowledge about ENS and ENS DAO in the form of guides and courses. https://ensdomains.academy ENS is one of the core projects of Ethereum.

Run Haus' digital community and IRL real estate infrastructure is organized to support outdoor running as a vehicle for a global revolution in personal and global consciousness, health, and sustainability. We know that a thriving world and happy societies are on the other side of a good run. Our public good mandates are providing group runs, events, community spaces, and housing that make it simple for members to get running daily in order to realize their fullest physical potential while connecting with a likeminded community and the planet. A coworking space for people who’d rather not be working Remote work is redefining the modern meaning of success. Free from the stresses and time burden of office life, remote work is affording many professionals the space to recreate and build their lives around interests besides their professions. A recent 4,000 person study found 28.76% of current runners started running during the pandemic, and for many, running has become an indispensable part of their lives, providing daily access to health, nature, and in-person community in an era when many are going the opposite direction. Run Haus' multipurpose community hubs are designed around the special needs and habits of this recreated, remote-worker-runner-human. Run Haus provides a centralized community, work, and cultural space to meet for a run, catch up on work, recover, socialize, share talents, eat, drink, laugh, and build a healthy, well-run world together. A home for people who people who are outside most of the time Run Haus is also building a distributed housing network designed around the needs of high performance humans and the tribal, interdependent ways human naturally organize their lives--doing this within America's problematic housing regulation and economics. Run Haus homes most closely resembles ""co-housing,"" which usually involves a shared single-family home or combination of homes that share resources, time, and each other's company. Run Haus homes puts people with shared values, habits, and lifestyles in one location, presenting myriad psychological, logistic, and economic benefits. Those shared values center on ""peak personal and planetary health,"" an ambition to make oneself, one's community, and the world as good as it can be, not merely as good as a broken status quo permits. More specifically, the Run Haus community is bound by commitments to: Carrying one's own weight, literally and figuratively. Continual improvement of one's body and mind through daily, strenuous physical activity, with a deep focus on running, specifically. Direct, in-person communication and interpersonal interaction. A deep respect and reverence for the natural world expressed in frequently connecting and spending time in nature away from modern stressors like social media, work, traffic, etc. Protecting the environment and live materially minimalist lifestyle. Continual intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth. Promoting economic, cultural, and generational diversity, equity, and interaction. Creative, not conventional, living. ""That's not normal"" is not a meaningful criticism for one's behavior, and should be considered a compliment. The Run Haus DAO The Run Haus coin is the community’s primary currency and is earned through demonstrated value to the community; i.e. adding demonstrable services, goods, and efforts to the network and community and its related projects, external community services, etc. A sample use case for a coin exchange might involve a capital rich/time scarce member trading coins with another member with more time than money, e.g. a semi-elite racer without a sponsorship. Membership privileges: Access to like-minded, health and sustainability oriented community Access to spaces and events Access to in-network membership services and products: Coaching Physio and fitness classes/instruction Professional services (writing, photography, video, accounting, etc.) Food and beverages Internal product marketplace Run Haus will organize first, in a transparent and democratic way, and then implement full governance tooling, and become a DAO.

So let’s not burn it.   Web3 is great. Now let’s try and make it to web4. Climate change is the single greatest challenge of our time, yet the narrative that surrounds it has caused many people to tune out and feel powerless that they can truly make a difference.  Introducing BETTER .  Launched by a team of creatives whose track record includes working with the likes of Nike, Google, Facebook, The North Face, and more, BETTER aims to turn that upside down.  Climate Impact BETTER gives its community members a tangible mechanism for creating planet positive impact IRL through the BETTER CLIMATE FUND, which is controlled by the community through a DAO.  Our growing list of Climate Advisors helping to steward the best possible use cases for the Fund include policy and strategists from Climeworks, Climate Resolve, and Toucan. 🤝  As the first use case, BETTER has partnered with Toucan Protocol to purchase and retire carbon credits. NCT tokens will be purchased, redeemed, and retired in a single transaction to realize offsetting on behalf of the Fund and DAO. 🌎 The future of the BETTER CLIMATE FUND is in the hands of the community, meaning it could expand into any number of different areas including conservation, new forms of tokenized climate impact credits, individual donations to compelling causes, and more. 🌿 For more info on how the BETTER DAO powers the BETTER CLIMATE FUND, please visit our gitbook.  For more info on our team and advisors, please visit our website. Q3-Q4 2022 🌿 BETTER BUDDIES, our first collection of planet-positive NFTs, will launch post-merge on the Ethereum blockchain.

We allow community members to exchange goods and services in our shop, using their social currency to connect members skills and profiles with each other while saving their fiat currency for other interactions. This way the community gains collective strength to face the challenges presented to us all in the present day.    Cambiatus has been open source since day 1, and we believe our communities contribute a lot to the Regenerative Finance movement that is happening in web3. We were awarded the Shapers Awards in 2021 Blockchain 4 Humanity Prize and were also finalists at the Top Tier Impact Awards in 2021. We are collaborating with the ReFi Spring movement and always looking for ways to collaborate with planetary regeneration efforts.    Our partner communities became more financially resilient and less dependent on fiat money because they are using their own social currencies. They can reward members for actions that are related to their collective objectives and create an internal economic cycle.Those actions promote the community objectives, acting as an engaging tool that fosters the collaboration of people from different perspectives and experiences.   Examples of those actions are: participating on beach cleanups, as a volunteer in an agroforestry task force, contributing to a given forest conservation area, and many others, that depend on the community context and objectives. We would like to use this grant to keep onboarding new partner communities, develop more educational resources, and keep building new tools to our platform. One of our priorities will be creating content about web3, ReFi and social currencies in Portuguese and Spanish, to enable more people from Latin America to join our movement.   We would like to show real life examples of how we can use web3 tools to empower communities and enable a transition to a low carbon economy, focused on financial resilience, connection with nature, wellbeing and the pura vida spirit!   Cambiatus has an open source business model, and works on a voluntary contribution basis from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, as you can see in our plans. We also have ample experience doing deliveries, being a group of practical and hands on attitude.    We work with decentralized technologies combined with centralized ones, making one effective transition tool that has its head aiming for the future, but with our feet on the ground, using the best tools for the challenges that may arise.    Our goal is to raise USD 50,000 and maintain our team for 4 months.   ✅ Some deliverables we would like to achieve: Create content in Portuguese and Spanish about the importance of web3 and social currencies in the current economic context. Showcase real life examples from Cambiatus partner communities in a way to incentivize other community leaders to take action and start their own social currency. Launch Impact NFTs with all our partner communities. Review Cambiatus tokenomics looking for a resilient model.   📍 Our Tech roadmap: Create governance tools that allow an Exit to Community process.

From scientific research, to government, to social groups, to web3 builders, Ourlog is a public, networked goods tool for any team to cohere and publish its collective intelligence. It’s like Discord plus Wordpress for web3. As a comms tool, Ourlog: facilitates deep qualitative exploration of personal and collective information supports distributed groups in finding coherence across complex topics pipelines content from a private group environment to publish to the broader public Built in the Ethereum ecosystem, Ourlog is based on blocks as a primitive media component. Block content affords the ability to easily respond to, extend, challenge, curate, and develop your personal and collective thinking over time. Relationships between blocks are defined through a simple protocol, providing queryable context for your group’s thinking. We are committed to developing Ethereum’s communications infrastructure, as we believe this to be a fundamental aspect of Ethereum’s continued growth as a healthy, democratic system. Our focus is the development of public, networked communications goods. The Need for Ourlog After building several projects in the Ethereum ecosystem, our team found it difficult to sustain ongoing efforts across multiple projects (see details below: Relational Projects). We worked best when we were together, physically, and wanted to bring the high quality in-person experience to our distributed team. Building on a shared practice of journaling in the mornings, we began an experiment using Discord as an Ourlog prototype. In a Discord server, each member has a channel to use as their personal research log and everyone on the team is welcome to read and tag messages to send them to a shared stream. From the shared stream, we bubble up highlights to publish as a way to capture our thinking at a point in time. In this way, Ourlog serves as a method to support self-organized group journalism. Currently, we’re going for minimal editing, sharing our thinking in more-or-less the same form as it was posted to Discord. We publish our thinking based on Ourlog entries on Mirror: https://mirror.xyz/0xb1CfC8e818fC40dB33F59caaeFe29B3FFc6aF65A Current Build Status While enacting a prototype of Ourlog in Discord and publishing our thinking on Mirror, we’re also building an iOS dapp on the Polygon network and are working towards a full web dapp. We’re in the early stages of the build—everything we’re sharing here is prototype and articulates our directional thinking for the tool. Currently, the vision is for an iOS/MacOS app with the following features: a simple capture utility to provide a focused place to write, think, create, explore ideas seamless web3 experience on native applications simple responding to other’s posts tagging capability for posts composable query system for personalized viewports iOS and MacOS dapp prototypes - capture surface; web dapp prototype - shared team stream Some of the high-level technical achievements to-date include: deployed a number of Polygon smart contracts for basic Ourlog functionality: logging, commenting, tagging (these are the basis for the rlog protocol) indexed and built an arbitrary relationship system using TheGraph built a novel implementation of smart contract wallets to enable seamless user experience iOS rlog smart contract wallet flow Ourlog aims for a simple, out-of-the-box experience for technical and non-technical people alike. Ourlog’s codebase is open source, so others can fork and customize it to fit their team’s needs. In creating Ourlog, we’re emerging a protocol for developers to build their own logging dapps. This emerging protocol (which we call research log, or rlog) is open source and in active development: https://github.com/relational-os/rlog Funding Gitcoin funds will be used to continue building the Ourlog dapps as well as the rlog protocol specification. Specifically, money will flow to: Our team in compensation for time spent on design and development contributions Creating and launching a bounty program to expand and fund additional contributors on Ourlog Collaboration tooling and infrastructure costs (Zoom, Notion, Infura, Vercel, Figma) Polygon contract deployment and meta-transaction fees Who is building Ourlog? Ourlog is a Relational project. Relational is an open media and communications collective, currently comprised of six founding members: Kristen Pavle, Dave Gorum, CJ Pais, Jon Borichevskiy, Tony Llongueras, and Jordan McCommons. We’ve been building in the web3 space for almost 2 years; you can learn more about us, and what we’ve been up to, including past decentralized publishing experiments, here: https://buzzard.life. Relational’s vision is a decentralized human communication layer built in the Ethereum ecosystem. We take advantage of EVMs natively networked, naturally interconnected data environment to allow for communication to flow democratically. Whether you’re communicating through words, pixel art, or game experience points, Relational is interested in supporting your work.

The platform also allows users to sell and buy NFTs using ETH. Creators are always seeking ways to give their fans more value and differentiate their work from their competition. FabHub empowers creators to secure their content so that it’s only accessible to holders of certain NFTs or tokens. Usually, creating tokens that allow access to gated content requires technical knowledge. FacHub allows non-technical users to do so. Their white labeled NFT product means that anyone can create an NFT store, regardless of their technical expertise. This approach allows users to avoid fees from platforms like OpenSea, giving more flexibility around user experience and more control over their brand. FacHub’s white label NFT storefront product can be used by non-technical people, broadening the potential userbase of web3 technology. ‘Lazy minting’ means zero gas fees for creating NFTs, which is a welcome relief in today’s high gas environment.

The services include interpreting conference calls like DAO Twitter Spaces and translating crypto white papers, which often feature evolving technical jargon and regional slang that defy automated translation solutions. Revenue generated from these types of services fund mission-driven activities consisting of outreach into the marginalised countries, free education, and advocating for web3 organisations to increase language accessibility. Historically, English has been the ubiquitous language of web3 (Bell, 2018), although that fact is changing. Although English-speaking countries make up the majority of job locations on the web3.career (Web3 Career, 2022) website, just over half of the top 50 countries are non-English speaking. This is one indication the web3 industry is flourishing across the world. Subsequently, web3 teams will increasingly need to communicate with other teams who speak a different language. Similarly, crypto markets are booming throughout the global landscape, hungry for products and services. Nigeria, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Turkey rank the highest in terms of crypto adoption rates (Buchholz, 2021). Additionally, 60% of consumers say they will not buy a product (CSA Research, 2020) if they cannot read the marketing language. The market in China for Bitcoin rapidly expanded once Satoshi’s whitepaper was translated into Chinese (Bell, 2018). Understanding a crypto market, and the underlying technology, is fundamental to participating in that market. Web3 presents an opportunity, allowing unbanked individuals living in countries with limited banking systems access to financial services. Additionally, web3 can enable entrepreneurs to sell goods abroad, when these individuals would otherwise struggle to connect with international payment systems (Scott, 2016). Yet, persisting language barriers threaten to cut off marginalised countries from the opportunity of web3 (Bell, 2018). To further complicate the problem, terms for blockchain infrastructure, DAO governance, etc, can specialise within different geographical and cultural silos. Eventually the industry may settle on open standards, but in the meantime lingual and cultural translation has the potential to play key roles in facilitating both commerce and coordination (INATBA, 2020).

And, it would allow researchers to run AI algorithms on a data set without ever obtaining direct access to the data. This protects the privacy of all the individuals contributing to the data set while at the same time giving valuable insights that might lead to the creation of many improvements - including better AI-powered services or improved treatments for women't health challenges or diseases/STIs; and (2)   Because the data and the platform itself will not ‘lift people out of poverty’ – Knowan must focus on the users of the data to generate insights that can turn into action to improve data outcomes. We would do this through a DAO structure - with governance, treasury, strategy, voting, and growth led by the community. Through this organization, we can leverage the global community of SRH experts, technologists, data scientists, community workers, advocacy organizations, health providers, donors, AI experts, and individuals - really anyone in the ecosystem – to organically learn, earn, and innovate together to work towards solving this challenge. Knowan seeks to lay the infrastructure and frameworks for more effective and coordinated disseminating, exchanging, and sharing data by governments, international organizations, donors/foundations, civil society, research entities, the private sector, and individuals. By doing this, Knowan seeks to enhance accountability, improve policy making and service delivery, and increase business opportunities. We will enhance accountability by enabling the use of data to improve policies with data-driven decision making and more effectively advocate for increased funding with supportive evidence. We will improve policy and service delivery for women and girls by enabling the leveraging of data to ensure more transparency, supply chain improvements, quality use of social media for education, enhanced research capabilities and sharing, and improved cost savings through efficiencies. And, we will increase business and economic opportunities – enabling more data for fem-tech startups, improving products, ensuring cost savings, and increasing the production process. And we will rely on our growing community to create and champion those additional solutions and protections that only those with lived experiences and a unique understanding of the issues can champion. Finally, by creating a space in web3 and data science that is focused on solving issues affecting women and girls, and emphasizing participation by those with lived experience in solving the issues, we will support them in their journeys in the web3 and/or data science. This will provide the additional benefit of educating and encouraging more participation by women and girls in web3 and data science. As a social enterprise, the funds will be used to support building the ecosystem - with a specific focus on building the platform and completing an upcoming pilot in Uganda.

These self governing groups have evolved to include various loaning mechanisms and staking and rewards systems. It is estimated that over 300,000 registered chamas exist today in Kenya, with members collaborating in more than one1 chama in their lifetime.  Although there is a push towards digital options for bookkeeping that increase transparency and improve governance such as Aturi and Ecobba, many of these groups remain informal, relying solely on the bridge of trust that brought them together in the first place. This informal sector worth over $4bn in Kenya has increased grassroots development and involvement. Communities take charge of their own investments and tailor their financial system to fit their culture i.e. the funeral fund, which is traditionally how Kenyans fundraise for funerals.  This project aims to develop pilots to onboard Chamas to Web3 to enable them to  - Scale using digital technology - Develop additional revenue streams including ecosystem credit generation and sales Potential Pilots: Mangrove Reforestation/EcoCredits Women’s ReFi savings group - Women from farming communities The project is being developed with a one -year timeline with the below requirements Staff: - Developers - Implementation, Training & Support: Period of time for implementation & results: 1 Year.

Hepta Education aims to build a sustainable learning environment for underprivileged kids. We believe that in order to thrive, the kids need to have three things to start with: an identity, a wallet, and a mind prepared to learn. We designed a whole mechanism around this mission and aim to make it scaleable with the proven business model. Problem: The entire donation ecosystem is outdated and doesn’t work. Funds donated through foundations are neither traceable nor outcome-attributable, causing children to lose support. Solution: A protocol that helps people donate interactively and strengthen the positive cycle. The three main features include: Enhance transparency and traceability with blockchain technology. Empower individuals to possess identity and accumulate assets. Build a donate-to-earn and learn-to-earn mechanism. Tech Design: How Hepta Protocol works Depending on the identity, every player has different rights and responsibilities as well as ways of interacting with one another. Progress: Founded in August 2022, we aim to validate all of our hypotheses in Season one (August 2022 - December 2022) and develop a more friendly interface and environment in Season two (January 2023 - April 2023). A season is a defined period of time with a clear goal and theme. In Season one, we test out our hypotheses with three validation projects, each with its own goals and metrics. We partner with shelters, foundations, and other web3 tech providers to make sure we “measure” (validation) before actually spending tons and tons of resources of “cut” (building product). Our goals for Season 1 are to: Sufficiently test out the hypotheses by running the mechanism without protocol.

BanklessDAO is a decentralised community coordinating and propagating bankless media, culture, and education. BanklessDAO launched on May 4, 2021, and its goal is to drive adoption and awareness of truly bankless money systems like Ethereum, DeFi, and Bitcoin. Together, the BanklessDAO community collaborates to create user-friendly onramps for people to discover decentralised financial technologies through education, media and culture. The BanklessDAO community runs a variety of projects; for the scope of this grant we are focusing on the ones which truly provide goods and services for the entire world such as BANKLESS ACADEMY, BANKLESS AFRICA, BANKLESS RESEARCH and INTERNATIONAL MEDIA NODES.  The projects listed below have had contributors working on them for many months and although some of the project contributors earn governance tokens, the work being done far outstrips the existing remuneration. Second, and perhaps more important, is that all these projects aim to help the wider crypto ecosystem and not just the Bankless community — and hence are public goods. BANKLESS ACADEMY 🚀 Brief Bankless Academy is a leading web3 ""knowledge on-ramp"" - a practical & engaging education experience with infrastructure preparing to be scaled across the blockchain multiverse. We're helping the world adopt the permissionless tools they need to go Bankless. 🔥 Vision We are building a web3 world where: 📚 Information is frictionless and free. 👊 Communities are high impact creators. 🌐 Education is permissionless (no central body dictates what you can/can't see). 🗺️ Trajectory Current focuses: Establish a Bankless-native syllabus/user journey to move users from Centralised Exchanges to Ethereum Layer2 self-custody. Pursue collaboration with popular dApps to educate users on trusted tools available to them. Build theory lessons with expert guests from the Bankless 'Hall of Fame'. Form frontier partnerships so that the Academy dApp continues to support interoperability and cutting-edge use cases. Continue research, development, and onboarding for our whitelabel platform to scale our efforts into other web3 ecosystems.

BANKLESS RESEARCH Bankless Research provides in-depth, rigorous and investigative insights into web3 topics across the board, thereby being able to draw on a wide web of contacts within the space. While our special focus lies on DeFi and governance issues, we are happy to also cover any other topic of interest to our clients. Due to our experience we have been able to develop successful formats to address the most sought after requests, thereby retaining the flexibility to tend to specialists’ requests, requirements and ancillary services individually. Notable achievements: In cooperation with the BC Grants Team, we managed to secure a grant from TribeDAO to develop a research report for them. The result was a 45-page long breakdown of the TribeDAO ecosystem. Saddle Finance was the second Web3 project for whom Bankless Research has conducted research for. We have also started reaching out to potential partners, who are aligned with BanklessDAO mission, and with whom we will form strategic partnerships based on our objectives. Current situation in the market: Web2 companies currently profit twofold: by charging readers a monthly/yearly subscription granting access to research reports which these companies receive grants for to write. Problem is this research often barely scratches the surface of the projects, contains outdated information and is published before showing the content to the client.    Our solution: Bankless Research aims to solve these problems by:  ✔️ Forming a team of subject matter experts with experience in web3.  ✔️ Utilizing the procured team of experts to conduct professional research.  ✔️ Collecting trusted resources for analytics data.  ✔️Applying qualitative and quantitative analysis to deepen the understanding of a project.  ✔️ Establishing and maintaining a deep connection with the client/grant donor, enabling the facilitation and collection of feedback after the final report is ready to be published.  Use of funds: Funds received in GR15 will directly support operations within Bankless Research, including bounties for research work. We are planning to build a website to help us onboard clients and researchers as well as facilitating the exchange between all parties and providing access to educational material. Further the continuous expansion of our tooling repertoire will be supported. Finally we will explore and use different channels to help market our services and products to a wider audience to achieve a healthy, long term growth trajectory. 🌏 INTERNATIONAL MEDIA NODES (IMN) Only 5% of the world’s population are native English speakers and roughly 15% speak English on some level. The initial goal of the IMN project is to reach the remaining 80% by translating and distributing content about blockchain technology, DeFi, the Metaverse and Web3. All links: https://www.banklessimn.xyz/ The International Media Nodes project believes in the liberating effect of going Bankless and what it can do for improving financial wellbeing and stability throughout the world. Creating and maintaining communities of people who do not speak English and educating them/opening the door for them to onboard to Web3 is one of the most crucial pieces of infrastructure if we want Web3 to be any different from Web2. The story so far… In Q1 2022, the total audience grew by 52% as compared to the previous quarter and our total reach is over 40,000 audience members in over 20 languages. We have more than 100 active contributors speaking 20 different languages from all parts of the world. We have worked with prominent DAOs in Web3 such as Polygon, Tribe and Yearn. Over the next months and years, as we continue to produce content we will also start developing local language communities which will develop Web3 talent in local languages as well as organising events in different geographical locations to onboard more people. Our Ask to the Crypto Community ... At the highest level, the Web3 education provided by BanklessDAO stands to empower humanity with the informed decision-making required in our digital future. We firmly believe that we align with the vision of the Gitcoin Community, and that together we can work to slay Moloch. We seriously can’t wait to show you what we have to offer this space. Let’s Impact Together! BanklessDAO believes in the liberating effects of going Bankless and the impact our ideal can have on improving the financial stability and wellbeing of our world, both in learning and translation. With the help of the Gitcoin Community, we will accelerate the spread of an ungated Web3 education for everyone.

It has seen a dramatic increase from 5.4% in 2020 to up to 33.51% in 2022. We underwent surveys and found out that this high unemployment rate was not so much a result of unemployability (in the form of poor education or illiteracy in tech) but mostly due to the unavailability of native job offerings. This prompted us to create a DAO whose major goal is eradicating unemployment in Africa and the world by teaching, connecting, and providing job opportunities by annexing the decentralised digital market.  ProXify DAO aims to do this by educating and onboarding contributors majorly from Africa and then the rest of the world to maximise, improve, upscale and apply their skills in Web3.   What is ProXify DAO?  ProXify DAO is a service DAO that educates, trains and mentors contributors to become skilled Web3 technical service providers; and ultimately connects them to clients (organizations, other DAOs, etc.) that require their services. We believe that the future of work is decentralised; and by utilising the DAO model, we assemble and train a community of the best service providers (ranging from writers, designers, developers, researchers, product testers, to marketers, etc.). By collaboratively sharing workspaces, resources, knowledge, and training contributors willing to upskill, we contribute to the future of Web3.   Problem Statement  The unemployment rate has been a major concern in the world (Africa especially) Monopolised Web2 companies require unreasonable certified qualifications compared to the pay. Organizations also find it difficult to access quality services that they require, having to go through strenuous recruitment/application processes to get the job done right. We, therefore, noticed the gap between these organizations and creative/technical services.   Solution   ProXify DAO bridges this gap by: training and educating unskilled contributors trying to upskill; reaching out to and onboarding skilled service providers previously oblivious about the concept of decentralization and DAOs; onboarding skilled Web3 contributors;  sourcing for organizations that need specific jobs done; applying for these jobs as a service DAO; employing the respective skilled contributors to carry out the job within the agreed timeframe; getting the job done!   Notable Accomplishments:  ProXify DAO has accomplished these within a month of its launch: onboarded over 100 skilled contributors and according to our survey, 23 were entirely new to the concept of Web3; we have bountied and paid out tasks to engage our community; we formed a partnership with Domain DAO, handling their digital marketing (within this period, they generated over 400 $ETH in Juicebox contributions; even amidst a bear market!).   Funding Breakdown:  Funds received in the GR15 will be used directly to support operations within the ProXify DAO. This will include; Creation of an official ProXify DAO website;  Onboarding check  To help the grow the ProXify Community by providing funds for bounties to keep the community motivated. To help create an extensive web3 course and Educational App.   Proxify DAO will like to thank the proxify community for their support and hopes you will join the proxify mission.",2022-09-02T04:43:31.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7405,True,True,0x3e6c23CdAa52B1B6621dBb30c367d16ace21F760,Web3 Talks: Stories & Tips from the Builders,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7405/web3-talks-stories-tips-from-the-builders,"Web3 Talks is a place where web3 founders from projects such as Zapper, Tally & HopProtocol share stories behind their projects and lessons they learned along the way. Why have I started this project last year? Well… Web3 has rewritten many rules about building products, acquiring users & collaboration. Composability, open data, airdrops, tokens, DAOs – all these things can be confusing even for web3 native people, let alone builders who are just entering the space. That's why almost a year ago, I started Web3 Talks, a podcast where web3 builders share their experiences to inspire the next generation of founders. Seb Audet, Co-Founder @ Zapper explaining how they choose which features to include in v2: As we're focused on builders, we don't talk high-level VC stuff like ""What is Metaverse?"" or trading-oriented things such as ""Which coin should you invest in 2022?"". Instead, we focus on questions such as ""How have you acquired your first users?"", ""How do you take care of your community?"" or ""What were the biggest technical challenges you've faced so far? Chris Whinfrey, Founder @ Hop Protocol explaining how they protected their airdrop from Sybil attackers: I have already recorded 27 episodes. I spoke with founders of smaller projects and with well-known founders such as Seb Audet (Zapper.fi), Dennison Bertram (Tally.xyz), Chris Whinfrey (Hop Protocol), Auston Bunsen (QuickNode) & Austin Griffith (Scaffold.ETH). The podcast has 1,2k subscribers across the 3 biggest podcasting platforms (Spotify, Apple, Google) and has been well-received by the builder's community. Madhavan Malolan, Founder @ Questbook explaining what helped them to build a 15,000 developers community in 2,5 months: Since the start of last year, I have treated this podcast as a side project I financed from my pocket. But this model has its limits. So if I received a grant, I could dedicate more time to record more episodes, organize all the lessons shared by the builders so far, and promote the podcast around builder's communities.

This grant will be used to extend the reach of our existing decentralized innovation program and support even more open science projects in Africa.  Objectives of the Giant Lab: Fight antimicrobial resistance in low and middle income countries (starting with Africa)  For this we are: Nurturing a network of scientists, engineers and NGOs who collaborate  Developing Open source solutions (for prevention, diagnostic and treatment) Providing a MOOCs to improve understanding in antibiotic resistance  So far:  In the first wave of our “Africa against antibiotic resistance” program, with just 5000 euros, we mobilized more than 200 scientists from Sub-Saharan Africa (mostly Nigeria, Tanzania, Ghana and Uganda),  We supported the creation of 9 projects and created an educational MOOC facilitating the training of 89 participants whom have gone on to further success professionally, with some participants now part of government-funded PhD programmes, becoming advocates of open science and antibiotic resistance .  With this grant:  We seek to expand the network to 500 members We will support at least 10 open science projects using our microgrant approach We will enrich the existing MOOC even more to provide educational and data resources for underfunded and undertrained professionals online Budget We have two initial goals for this grant: 10000 dollars and 30000 dollars. If we get more, the extra funding will go in priority to supporting even more projects.  Microgrants [50%] Incentivizing the project holders using microgrants (up to 2000 dollars) for validated projects - this goes a long way in the global south. Organization of two rounds (one every 3 months) JOGL Operations and Infrastructure [50%] Community mobilization and animation  Creation of the program flow for applicants Mobilization campaign (graphics and social media) Support to the community (community events) Digital Infrastructure Development  Support of the continuous improvement of the JOGL open source infrastructure Maintenance of the platform Fellowship and Leadership of programme  Evaluation of the community program  Sharing of the observation as a public report after 1 year of activity Creation of the program flow for applicants Analysis and sharing of peer-review results  Background Over the past decade, Antibiotic resistance has become a major global development issue, threatening environmental, veterinary, and human health. Antibiotics are potent tools against bacterial infections, however microorganisms previously known to be sensitive to some antimicrobial agents are developing partial to complete resistance against them. This can be combated using traditional academic techniques and is already being researched by many labs across the world, however global health and research capacity is not uniform. Development of systems, more open to medical labs and community labs, where universities are less concentrated is essential. This capacity can be granted through proper application of open science, and connection of these communities online, such as that of our project. We aim to develop open and taught materials and a database for tracking of antibiotic resistance  by the international community sustainably. Then use this model to scale up community lab capacity and independence. We have created a method of “Community Review” whereby applicants have say in grant outcomes, and a decentralized community is formed. Open science is a global movement that aims to make scientific research and its findings accessible to the general public. Its collaborative and participatory ethos presents an opportunity for a bottom-up approach to research and development that is beneficial to the public. It embraces digital technologies to build communities, work processes, and tools, while embracing frugal innovation achieving significant results with minimal resources. We have already achieved this, through a global program to great effect with minimal funding during the COVID19 pandemic with OpenCOVID19, we can repeat this on antibiotic resistance  to create a grass roots antibiotic resistance  surveillance community. Specific Aims Improve our society’s resiliency to biothreats by increasing our antibiotic research capacity, especially against local resistance which can become a global problem. This is through empowerment of local peoples to do their own research - through a “community review” grant allocation. Track new emergence of antibiotic resistance through community science and continue the creation of an emerging antibiotic resistance database  The model in this proposal, whereby enthusiastic individuals are trained and selectively given funds to improve the world and community aims to build a more just and sustainable world, by doing more with less, for enthusiastic and under represented people.

If a DNS hijacking happens, with a simple browser plugin we could perform a check and avoid users being scammed other areas where a certification is required Certification is obtained by publishing the hash of a given file on chain. When the block containing the hash is minted, the timestamp of the block identifies the date at which the certification has been approved. For what concern the hash, we have adopted the standard SHA-256 hash, so that the risk of collision is negligible. To simplify the management of generated proofs, each one is treated as a standard ERC-721 token (NFT). In this way the proof is tradable, movable and easily viewable.  Finally, while the file can be stored privately, it can also be made public (on a permaweb, currently supported Arweave). In this way the public URL of the file is included into the NFT proof metadata. Due to the decentralized approach, to make sure the file at given URL matches the hash, a Chainlink Oracle is used. Main advantages of our solution can be sum up in 4 points: Decentralized: anyone can interact with our smart contract to generate a tProof NFT based: this makes the management of proofs easier and more practical, while integrating in multiple existing tools Multi-chain: the protocol is studied to support multiple chain, while keeping unique IDs among the different chains. Initially Ethereum and Polygon will be supported File management: files can be kept private or public, based on the needs We are planning to launch our tool on both Ethereum mainnet and Polygon, but other chains will follow.

Tear down the idea.   The movie will be divided into episodes, in which we will go to interview and film all those realities where people live off the grid in an eco-sustainable way aiming at energy self-sufficiency, food self-sufficiency, permaculture, from recycling and reuse to self-production of necessities products.    We will also address the issue of the use of web marketing for a product or workshop, which in many of these realities is the basis for having anyway a form of livelihood for the community.   Working in close contact with the main association which in Italy unites all ecovillages forming an association of 30+ realities in continuous expansion. we have participated in several events from this very association where we had more inputs to define and shape our project.     For the greater (public) good(s).   During the trip, we want to write various guides, along with the video documentary, for people and other communities on their path to shift to sustainable off-the-grid life. The biggest achievement for us would be to bring even more people to a sustainable way of life in realities that are already there.   We want to give an open-source collection of documentaries and guides about people who want to shift to off-the-grid living, without leaving behind the comfort of modern life.     Target audience.     The target audience for our project is quite broad and includes both ordinary people interested in seeing how to live off the grid while keeping the comfort of an ordinary life, people, interested in the use of technology in a solar punk future ideology   But not only ordinary people or just curious about alternative lifestyles, in fact, our project also targets big green energy investors and all those big movements on climate change who wants to know and discover the products off the grid people needs and use the most. Community.   Begin the project still at its pilot stage we are starting the community from scratch, friendly roaming around discord servers and Twitter, searching for citizens of the internet who are on the same vision of a sustainable future lived in deep respect of mother Nature. About us.   We are S.(Writer) and G.(Videomaker)  since we met our path has been nothing but a search for what made us happy, and what the idea of well-being was for us.   The rat race was never fun for us, we tried to escape the machine, and now we feel the time is right for a change in history. The solarpunk movement is initiating a change we have been waiting a long time for! We are convinced that living off the grid is the solution to climate change, capitalism, and you name it!    On our blog page, you can find a detailed background for each one of us!   In the past, we lived several years in these off-the-grid realities in Italy. Our dream would be to be able to sustain ourselves for one year documenting those realities and then scale this project starting in Italy and reaching the whole world.   Funding Objectives.     -Camper Van   Funding would help us and will go towards the purchase of a camper van, finding a sponsor for the camper van would cut our expenses by over 60%   -One year of financial freedom.   30%   - Various Equipment   10% would cover the tools we need for video making, writing guides, and editing the documentary.",2022-09-02T08:01:33.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7411,True,True,0x17e4285BeE986aE686504131D3D5ABE0009f297A,The DeSci Academy - Accelerating scientific discovery,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7411/the-desci-academy-accelerating-scientific-discove,"TL;DR We find and train passionate, driven and curious individuals who want to contribute to science but lack the credentials. We are NOT an educational content platform, rather we are an open source protocol that utilises peer-to-peer, self organised learning that is facilitated by verified knowledge experts. This will be key infrastructure to support the growth of Decentralised Science, Impact DAOs and Regenerative Finance Through decentralised credentials - VCs (Verifiable credentials),  DIDs (Decentralised identifiers) and SBTs (Soul Bound Tokens),  students can build a proof of their learning, thus legitimising their knowledge and building an on-chain, composable  reputation/knowledge score. We are currently in talks with a number of different DeSci projects to collaboratively develop modules; students would eventually filter into these DAOs and contribute in a technical role. What is our vision? Our vision is educating non-technical users to create the next generation of scientists to accelerate scientific discovery. We believe that education should be free, permissionless and structured in a way that the student has involvement in shaping their own academic journey. What problem are we trying to solve? With the rise of Decentralised Science, Impact DAOs and Regenerative Finance, mechanisms allowing effective coordination and incentivisation have emerged allowing for the possibility to collectively solve humanity's biggest problems. This leads to an issue: There are many people who want to help solve some of the world's biggest problems but lack the technical skills, the knowledge and most importantly the legitimacy (i.e credentials) to do so. Examples of these groups of people range from those who want to help fight climate change, biohacker communities, patients suffering diseases which have no cure or passionate hobbyists who have a particular interest (eg psychedelics). Our aim is equipping passionate, driven and curious individuals with the necessary tools and credentials so they can accelerate scientific discovery. 93% of the population do not have a college degree, meaning there is ample room for ancillary and alternative paths.  MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses such as Khan Academy) are a step in the right direction but are a centralised, passive form of learning where proof of learning is difficult to verify. How does our platform solve this problem? Web3 and decentralisation can unlock new models of education; our product is an open source protocol where students can self-organise their learning from a variety of sources that they choose (i.e. anything from a physical textbook, online resources, podcasts, etc.) and validate that knowledge via peers in a setting facilitated by a “mentor” who has some traditional form of legitimacy.  In essence, this is a P2P based digital apprenticeship model of learning. The core of this will be decentralised credentials utilising VCs (Verifiable credentials),  DIDs (Decentralised identifiers) and SBTs (Soul Bound Tokens). Several key steps are needed to build this infrastructure, including onramps where mentors can put their degree on chain, reputation systems, P2P attestation systems and future scope for novel funding mechanisms (e.g. uncollateralized loans/grants based on a student’s progress or decentralised reputation). What would the grant go towards: Our first aim is to develop a Minimum Viable Product: Architecture: For the reputation-based scoring system, we would use the Ceramic Networks IDX and 3ID Keychain to power Cross-chain identity & reputation. In order to avoid the issues associated with reputation systems (e.g. sybil resistance, reputation calculation, sovereign-identities etc) experimentation and testing will be required until the final architecture is settled. Pilot Cohort and First Module: The initial module would focus on “Decentralised Science”. It would equip students with in-depth knowledge on crypto primitives such as the blockchain, decentralisation and DAOs as well as a deep dive into the scientific method, data analysis and interpretation and appraising scientific publications. Through this we experiment and fine tune the P2P based self organised form of learning.  To find out more, read our LitePaper.",2022-09-02T08:21:22.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7412,True,True,0xE9e4E4E3fCE78E25b9729D9289D92813695C184E,JustShills - The Ethical Way!,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7412/justshills-the-ethical-way,"JustShills was created for individuals, businesses, start-ups, web3, and communities-to market freely.

Money received will be utilized to continue the ongoing work of the BRF to catalyze on-the-ground regenerative work in Barichara in service to the creation of a prototype of a bioregional regenerative economy that can be utilized worldwide.   Introduction The town of Barichara, Colombia is uniquely positioned to cultivate large-scale regenerative work. Situated on a plateau, Barichara is at the center of a 500,000-hectare territory defined by its own regional climate system. The region possesses an incredibly unique ecosystem, the High-Andes tropical dry forest, that exists nowhere else on Earth with eighty percent of the species here being endemic, only existing in this territory. Unfortunately, the region has also seen intense monocrop agriculture, leaving only ten percent of the native forests intact. This, in turn, has led to soil degradation and erosion, the drying up of rivers, and the loss of the unique biodiversity of the territory.   What Has Been Accomplished  Land and the Ecoversity The BRF works to restore ecological health through a multifaceted strategy of weaving together current regenerative projects in Barichara, purchasing land for regenerative work, and creating groups and organizations to facilitate this work. Already, the BRF has raised $50,000 to purchase a heavily degraded plot of land, Origen del Agua, and has begun regenerative work on it. Recently, the BRF has secured a second piece of land, Las Albercas, that will be the future home of the central campus of the Barichara Ecoversity. Here an off-grid campus will be created to provide on-the-ground training in various regenerative techniques such as permaculture, rainwater harvesting, renewable energy solutions, and syntropic agroforestry. The Barichara Ecoversity will serve as an integrating hub for both research and education in the territory with the Las Albercas campus serving as a place for experts and students to gather to teach and learn the skills needed for restoring planetary health, all while cultivating a deep connection to the land.   Syntropic Agroforestry One of the central projects of the BRF has been spreading syntropic agroforestry throughout the territory. Syntropic agroforestry aims to foster climax ecosystems independent from outside inputs with an emphasis on plants geared towards maintaining food for human consumption. This works through the planting of food crops next to support species that aid with water retention, the fixing of nitrogen in the soils, the creation of shade, and the production of biomass to continually provide organic matter to cover the soil and enrich it over time. These methods encourage a process of ecological succession to occur as would happen in a natural process of forest expansion, just much faster and focused on supporting edible species. The process is one of syntropy with increased growth, diversity, density, and complexity throughout the entire system compared to conventional or organic agriculture. The BRF has supported the creation of syntropic agroforestry projects throughout the territory. A syntropic agroforestry expert was brought to Barichara and has been teaching local farmers within the region. Specifically, two three-day design classes on syntropic agroforestry have been offered, giving participants a technical explanation of the principles of the technique and then hands-on instruction through the creation of two field sites. The demand for syntropic agroforestry has been great in the territory, and our aim is to continue supporting those wanting to learn on their journey towards transitioning to regenerative food production. Other Work The work of the BRF is constantly evolving in relation to what is emerging on the ground in Barichara. A community council was set up to coordinate regenerative action in the territory with funds from the BRF being used to support fifteen local projects in the community, greatly facilitating the development of relationships among these projects in the territory. As its successor, we are in the process of creating a Territorial Foundation to formally facilitate the reception of funds and mediate their use in a process ensuring consent and support from the local community. All these efforts combine to form a cohesive and self-reinforcing Bioregional Investment Platform where the individuals and organizations dedicated to regeneration cyclically flow value amongst each other, creating a consistent spinning out of social and ecological value for the entire territory. With your help, the BRF aims to support this ever-evolving process of territorial regeneration.   Next steps for the BRF The work of the BRF has been ongoing for nearly three years, and much has been accomplished in that time. The relationships developed through this work and the land that has been acquired has given the BRF the foundation on which to pivot to long-term strategic planning to ensure the holistic restoration of the entire territory. One of our partners and collaborators, Commonland Foundation, has created a landscape investment framework currently utilized by fifteen territories around the world. Their model is a five-step, twenty-year process to produce a self-sustaining regenerative economy, geared towards social and ecological improvement. Key to the success of this model is the formation of a core team with enough funds to dedicate themselves completely to this work all throughout the twenty-year period. This initial investment in a core team provides the supports necessary to ensure that the work reaches maturity, and a regenerative economy can form and begin to sustain the entire territory. This core team is currently in development and will continue the work of the ongoing regenerative projects in the area. The development and funding of this core team forms one of three major funding efforts for the BRF. The second is the funding and construction of the Ecoversity, described above, and the third, the support of the current regenerative projects in the area. These three overarching projects will allow us to move towards holistic landscape regeneration at a bioregional scale. In total, this amounts to raising $500,000 in the next year to accelerate this work. The funds gathered through the Gitcoin grant round will be directed towards this purpose.   ReFi Barichara   We will also be holding an event, ReFi Barichara, from October 3 to 7, taking place between Cosmoverse in Medellín and DevCon Bogotá. ReFi Barichara aims to be an entirely different kind of Web3 conference. During the event, participants will be able to directly engage with the ongoing flows of an active regenerative economy with field site visits to the various regenerative projects in the area allowing attendees to get their hands directly involved with regenerative work. We will also be holding design workshops centered around applying ReFi tools to the local context as participants connect to these on-the-ground projects. All of this will be held through an emergent process of facilitation as the learning that occurs during the event shapes the development of the event itself. We want to create an opportunity for the participants to learn from a living laboratory of regenerative finance and see how ReFi tools can be utilized in a real community and landscape. In the run up to the event, we have already begun to collaborate with various ReFi groups and organizations like RegenNetwork, ReFi Spring, RegenFoundation, and Celo Foundation as well as starting a learning journey to prepare people from the on-the-ground regeneration space for taking advantage of blockchain technology. For more information visit: https://www.regeneratebarichara.org/refi https://twitter.com/ReFiBarichara   Vision All the activities of the BRF are in service to the creation of a real-world prototype of a regenerative bioregional economy. By weaving those that are on the ground, purchasing strategic pieces of land, integrating Web3 tools to monitor change in ecological health, and being continually open to new collaborative relationships as they arrive, the BRF intends to lay the groundwork for others to follow in their own territories. We hope that with the success of this model in Barichara, it can be used as a prototype worldwide and help regenerate the planet through regenerating local communities. Learn More BRF community council member Joe Brewer has made the effort to document its progress to English speaking audiences. He has formulated his thoughts on the process in his book, The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth, and founded the Earth Regenerators network, a diverse platform with over 4,000 participants dedicated to restoring planetary health, to spread the model developed here, while learning from others’ experiences. He and others from Barichara regularly provide updates on their progress in videos and articles on the network.

Each episode will feature leaders of the natural world and communities building new economies to address one of the biggest threats modern humans have ever faced—and how together we can be the solution.  Complementing the docuseries will be educational curriculum, masterclasses and workshops facilitated using the Web3 streaming and distribution platform BEEM.xyz. Episode themes will include:  - The Psychology of Money and who’s Leading the Charge in Creating Value for the Earth  - The Rise of Generation R: The Re-Generation Fighting for J.E.D.I [Justice, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion] - From High Tech, to Low Tech to No Tech: Regenerating Local Economies - Learning from Lo-TEK: Local Traditional Ecological Knowledge - Stabilizing Our Climate & Restoring Our Ecosystems - Diving Into Our Oceans: Our Greatest Carbon Sinks - Space & Earth: Learning from the Overview Effect  Notable leaders and organizations to be featured: Carol Sanford - Founder, Regenerative Business Development Community  Queen Diambi of the Congo Julia Watson - author or Lo-TEK Rebecca, founder of Fibershed  White Buffalo Land Trust Zero Food Print Nemonte Nenquimo — Indigenous leader of Waorani Nation Tshering Tobgay—former Prime Minister of Bhutan  Riane Eisler—creator of Parterism & Social Wealth Index  Eliza Reid -- First Lady of Iceland ReFi entrepreneurs: Jimi Cohen - ForTrees Pedro Marques - RMTerra  Regen Network Toucan Protocol Climate Collective  ReFi DAO Menthol Protocol  Hedera - HBAR Foundation  Gainforest Open Earth  Open Forest Protocol Filecoin Foundation/Filecoin Green  In total, we’re aiming to raise $2.5 million for production, post production, marketing, and distribution. We’re working with one of the top two talent agencies in the world to secure a distribution deal with a leading streamer, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Discovery+.  Production Timeline:  Filming Dates  November 6, 2022 - United Nations Climate Change Conference - COP27 December, 2022 - one on one interviews with ReFi entrepreneurs  January 2023 -  Exploring the Congo Basin with Queen Diambo of the Congo  January 2023 -  Tanzania regeneration  January 2023 - Brazilian Rainforest  February 2023 - one one one interviews with regeneration experts  February 2023 - regeneration and ReFi efforts in Portugal  March 2023 - Regenerative Agriculture shoots across America - White Buffalo Land Trust March 2023 - ReFi initiatives in Tulum, Mexico  April 2023 - Iceland, almost 100% powered by renewables  April 2023 - Bhutan - visiting leaders in the first and only carbon negative country in the world  May 2023 - international ReFi Spring events - gatherings of emerging ReFi communities developing solutions. (These may take place at a different time.) June 2023 - Reshoots July/August 2023 - Reshoots & post-production - editing  September 2023 - final post-production  How will this support climate action?  We're addressing the disconnect between human stories and the ReFi movement to Green Pill the world. Amidst all the talk about getting carbon credits to the communities most at risk, there’s a significant gap in the storytelling about these communities who are an unequivocally integral part of the stakeholder solution. We'll make sure their stories are told. Our plan is to make ReFi compelling and relatable to investors, Web3 creators outside of the ReFi ecosystem, and consumers who are ready for a climate narrative that promotes hope and positivity instead of crisis.  Credits and Perks for Funders  All participating funders will get credit as supporters of the docuseries. Anyone who contributes more than 100 dai will get producing credits and the opportunity to visit filming locations, as well as a chance to get one-on-one training from regeneration experts featured in the series.  TEAM Bios Melissa Jun Rowley  Melissa Jun Rowley is the founder and CEO of Warrior Love Productions, a Web3 studio and production company creating projects and protocols supporting social impact and climate positivity.

With growing interest from the United States Congress, NASA, key researchers at Stanford and Harvard, and others, there is a tremendous opportunity to work on one of the great mysteries of our time. This is where the DeSci movement is crucial: the UAP subject is of global importance, calling for open and broad-based collaboration and ownership in the research. Future Folklore has three broad focus areas: Materials science: Funding labs to conduct analysis on recovered UAP materials. Engineering & inventing: Funding technology innovations to better conduct UAP materials science, and novel technology which integrates insights from materials science. Ecosystem development: Developing this nascent ecosystem through networking and incentivizing new and existing contributors, such as academic metallurgy labs. Future Folklore will use this grant money to support DAO structuring, and set-up, operating, and other related expenses. FF is looking to grow its team and form working groups, covering task areas like sourcing and distributing materials for study, or networking metallurgy labs. If you’re interested in web3 and the UAP subject, please reach out! Background: UAP, materials, and science Are UFOs real? Source: Instituto Geográfico Nacional de Costa Rica Branches and high-ranking members of the US Government have repeatedly and recently said UFOs are real and are to be taken seriously. Their preferred term is unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), now expanded even further to “unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.”  Source: Department of Defense via AP This new name, though cumbersome, is a nod to the ""transmedium"" performance characteristics of some of these anomalous vehicles. In other words, some seem able to pass through space, air, and water domains. In one well-known case, Navy operators report tracking “objects [that] appeared suddenly at 80,000 feet, and then hurtled toward the sea, eventually stopping at 20,00 feet and hovering. Then they either dropped out of radar range or shot straight back up.” Eventually some pilots were told to rendezvous with an object, which they discovered was hovering above the water, “around 40 feet long and oval in shape” and moving erratically. After engaging with the object, which responded by moving up, “It accelerated like nothing I’ve ever seen,” one pilot said. Within a minute it was mysteriously tracked at their next rendezvous point 60 miles away, but was gone when the pilots arrived. Congressional hearings on UAP this summer, the first in over 50 years, confirmed that this case is still unresolved. In June 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence published a report on UAP, saying some UAP “appear to demonstrate advanced technology,” and that “Some UAP appear to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernable means of propulsion.”  Congress has mandated their new UFO office, now named the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), to study the technology and intentions of UFOs. They have also requested that the new office not study objects deemed man-made. New legislation already in effect also requires of the new office ""the testing of materials ... to better understand and explain unidentified aerial phenomena."" Are there such materials? In private hands yes, some, and of these, some with solid and independent witness testimonies and chains of custody for the materials. Source: ""Improved instrumental techniques"" Dr. Garry Nolan, professor at Stanford, inventor, entrepreneur and holder of 40 US patents, has been studying recovered UAP materials. As lead author, he recently published this peer-reviewed methods paper with a case study: ""Improved instrumental techniques, including isotopic analysis, applicable to the characterization of unusual materials with potential relevance to aerospace forensics"" in the journal Progress in Aerospace Sciences. Speaking with VICE, he has also said some material in his custody have unusual isotopic ratios: ""...if you find a metal where the isotope ratios are changed far beyond what is normally found in nature, then that material has likely been engineered—the material is downstream of a process that caused them to be altered. Someone did it. The questions are who… and why?"" Another recent study with a lingering ""why"" was published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, analyzing the 1957 Brazilian Ubatuba UAP fragment. They found ""One definite strangeness"" with the sample—a strontium impurity. ""The strontium impurity is not a normal by-product in the manufacture of magnesium and would have been intentionally added."" Here's a brief video surveying the study of UAP materials. Many wonder if the US Government has more material, and more that’s intact and operational—even entire craft. It’s difficult to determine. The New York Times has reported that classified briefings have been given to Congress concerning “off-world vehicles not made on this earth.” NASA recently began engaging in formal UAP research, saying they're taking it very seriously: “We're going full force … This is really important to us, and we're placing a high priority on it."" Dr. Avi Loeb is a professor Harvard and was the university's longest serving chair of the Astronomy Department. He recently founded The Galileo Project, whose mission is the systematic, scientific search for evidence of extraterrestrial technological artifacts. This notably includes attempts to capture images of UAP. They'e installing ground-based telescopes for this, including on the roof of the Harvard College Observatory. The Galileo Project already has post-doctoral fellowships. Future Folklore's conviction Much more could be said, and more studies and contributors mentioned. Future Folklore stands on the conviction that if there's the slightest chance materials associated with UAP have an exotic origin, then funding and analysis is paramount. It may not surprise readers that funding channels are thin or nonexistent. The philosophical and technological possibilities, though possibly slim, are too great to ignore. Future Folklore also stands on the conviction that organizational models enabled with web3 technology are appropriate for the study of UAP, which requires an all-hands approach. We need broad-based collaboration and ownership models. For those new to decentralized science models, here is a recent profile published in Nature Biotechnology covering some leading DAOs.

We don’t gather location data to guarantee anonymity. Our profile pics are avatars. When you post, you can choose your avatar’s emotion. We’re for the real freedom of speech. This means that the feed may contain posts that you may not like. We’ll mark such content for you. It’s on you if you want to read that or not. If you see content like this and it’s unmarked, let us know and we’ll reward you and take measures immediately. Resonance is our internal currency. You can spend that to customize your avatar. You can’t buy it, but you can earn it by reacting to posts, creating ones, and leaving comments.  Avatars Every user has an avatar instead of their real identity. At first it’s the anonymous pigeon in a hood. You can get your avatar in exchange for your resonance. It’s random, but you can always change certain attributes in exchange for your resonance. They are also randomly generated and are of different quality: basic, rare, legendary. Legendary attributes turn your avatar into an animated sticker, and you can use it to react to posts. The sticker stays in your collection for good. You can change your avatar’s emotion to one that reflects your current mood and pick an emotion for a post.  To get access to an avatar and to earn resonance, you need to create an account.

At Web3MQ, we believe that social communications should be a public good. The ability to send messages between, users, addresses, and machines, is so fundamental and important that it should (and in the long run needs to) be driven and owned collectively by developers and users (all mankind). This is why we've built Web3MQ so that anyone can participate by hosting nodes and growing the Web3MQ network just like Ethereum. Features & Use Cases DMs: Let users and users connect Notifications & Web3 mail: Allow projects to notify and send asynchronous messages to users/wallets. Chat & Community: Build community amongst your users. Web3MQ is one of a handful of Web3 messaging protocols that natively support group chat from day one. Characteristics Interoperable: We reconnect isolated social platforms with a unified inbox, enabling information to be freely generated, flowed and communicated across terminals. All you need is the other person's address or compatible DID. Scalable Fast (we're serious): Web3MQ is not a toy network with a Web3 concept. We're seriously designing this to serve the next billion users in Web3. We're already faster and more scalable than any other Web3 messaging network and are approaching Web2 performance. Composable: Web3MQ is built to be maximally composable. We focus on building the best messaging network. Storage, encryption, and public chain compatibility are designed from day one to be maximally composable. Developers can achieve higher levels of privacy protection and satisfy other personalized features/needs through highly customizable configurations. Natively Multi-Chain: Web3MQ is a middleware infrastructure network, our design is fundamentally compatible with any chain, and with minimal extensions, can send messages between addresses between any two chains. Ownership: No singular party can tamper with your messages or dictate the way you build on Web3MQ, it's a collective network of nodes. Web3MQ will ultimately be driven, refined and updated by the community, Alpha I Web3MQ is currently in our Stage One Alpha. We're open to applications from projects and developers to partner with us and try out the Web3MQ network!

SproutUp let’s anyone turn good deed videos into NFT impact certificates and earn crypto donations.  Why There are two key bottlenecks to solving climate and social issues: Entrepreneurship Accountability Nonprofit laws create red tape, fees, and financial incentives for founders. And traditional donations do not hold organizations accountable for impact. Donors have little idea how their money is used. As a result, our nonprofit sector is captured by decades old, legacy organizations that don’t innovate. These nonprofits have been failing to solve climate change and other issues for the past 50 years. We need to empower the next generation web3 organizations. How SproutUp solves these issues with impact certificates. SproutUp users turn their project outcomes into NFT impact certificates. For example, a tree planter can turn videos of their planting projects into impact certificates. Each donor gets one unique tree impact certificate for their donation. Donors know exactly where their money goes and get to own proof of their unique tree project forever.  Impact certificates align incentives for more impact. Currently, most nonprofits use the same fundraising business models regardless of their work. SproutUp will create many different types of impact certificates, enabling web3 charities to tailor their business models to their work. This lets web3 charities align their own needs with those they serve, their donors, and broader society. A win-win-win-win.  Impact certificates promote entrepreneurship. A key barrier for nonprofit startups is trust. Donors prefer large brand-name organizations when making donations, as nonprofits offer little transparency. Impact certificates give donors perfect transparency, enabling founders to more easily fundraise. The sub-saharan tree planter can now out compete the global NGO.  The transparency of impact certificates also makes nonprofit status irrelevant. Founders can start a SproutUp web3 charity and create impact certificates in minutes without any nonprofit fees or red tape. Our goal is to support climate social impact founders. Our impact certificates live on the carbon-negative Polygon blockchain and use IPFS for decentralized metadata storage. Gas fees are less than a penny, eliminating any financial burden for founders and donors. Funding This is a one-person bootstrapped team! Your funding supports my continued work on SproutUp.

And almost 100% of that amount came from businesses & corporations.  If we’re going to remove atmospheric carbon at the scale we need to impact climate change, we need to mobilize consumer funding.  But how? Historically, consumers won’t pay to fund carbon removal.   Our Solution Hazel, our web3 platform, empowers consumers to take direct steps to remove carbon and fight climate change. By rewarding consumers with fun, valuable NFT rewards that they can use in Hazel, we’re making it fun to help reverse climate change.   With Hazel, users will be able to: 🌱 Fund carbon removal & unlock rewards that enhance their Hazel experience 🌱 See & learn about the projects they’re funding and visualize their positive climate impact  🌱 Earn NFT rewards for using Hazel, which automatically generate carbon-removal funding when sold 🌱 Have fun while making an impact on the planet! A fun & empowering gaming experience There is a lot of climate doom out there right now. We need hope & empowerment. We know people do what they think is fun--and we need fun when considering a global problem such as climate change.

Many other women face the same bias in current AI models ranging from failed facial recognition to loan applications. Why are AI models struggling in recognizing gender, people of color and other communities?  The majority of Web2 AI development is currently developed by a homogenous group of people and either controlled by large tech companies or Western Ivy league universities. With a lack of diversity comes a lack of empathy and imagination for the needs of society at large. AI companies heavily overrely on datasets of data-rich countries and this skewed data training has led to the discrimination for the rest of world. stories_of_ai is applying for funding to drive DEI engagement for their DAO framework for decentralized AI teams and their communities. Proposal stories_of_ai’s research highlights that there is surprising a lack of DEI collaboration in AI and Web3, the majority of Algovera’s squads are white, male and/or from data-rich countries. We would like to change this. We like to build bridges so that AI teams can easily form interdisciplinary teams and connect with communities and data. We envision the co-development of AI models and that communities will receive returns for their data. Communities need the ability to co-design, get transparency, contribute data, retrain AI models, and get remunerated. stories_of_ai is a squad in the Algovera ecosystem. Algovera is a community of independent AI teams developing user-centric Web3 AI applications.

About stories_of_ai stories_of_ai, a squad of Algovera, has developed a human-centered decentralized AI framework (DAID). The DAID framework enables how AI teams and their community can keep ownership of, and monetize their AI model creations. DAID also provides tools and strategies in how to build a decentralized AI DAO that is based on a vision of human cooperation, augmentation, sustainability and DEI. About Algovera Algovera is a community of independent AI teams developing user-centric Web3 AI applications. stories_of_ai has received one Algovera grant to date for work developing a Decentralized AI DAO framework (DAID). Algovera Grants has funded 28 independent AI teams (called Squads) to date. Algovera also trains squads to use decentralized AI infrastructure, which consists of decentralized storage, compute and marketplace. Motivation Centralized AI systems do not actively consider community ownership or how to integrate gender, racial or sustainability factors in developing AI models. Researchers have highlighted the harm of AI models that are benchmarked in human-competition, autonomy and centralization [How AI Fails Us: Divya Siddarth, Glen Weyl et al. 2021]. They propose a human-centered vision of developing AI models that complement, cooperate and support society rather than compete with humans.  We like to propose pluralistic strategies of how to develop decentralized AI organizations. We believe that bringing together diverse communities within web3 and squads would be mutually beneficial to the community. This is why stories_of_ai has developed a Decentralized AI DAO framework (DAID) which accelerates AI teams with technical tools and strategies that are rooted in interdisciplinary team work, human-centered design, ethics, sustainability and community commercial models. DAID consists of 4 key areas:     1    Primary - Design Thinking: who is the user and who is impacted by my AI model?

     2    Community Value Generators: How to achieve sustainable DEI, environmental and commercial value creation.

     3    Decentralized AI activities: from data sourcing, storage, training, deploy to publishing AI models to market places.

     4    DAO activities: covers how to set up a DAO, governance, proposals, treasury management and member protection and monetization of data sets and AI models

Participants will work through a series of abstract expressionist art exercises focused on increasing their sense of unique and individual identity, boundaries, and self-esteem. Readings or discussions paired with the exercises and either in-person or online support, will give participants opportunities to practice and gain a deeper understanding of the rights they have as a person to make their own decisions, to try new things, to trust their voice, to increase the confidence they have in themselves, to process trauma, to heal, and to bring beauty into the world. Our intention is to create an open-sourced web3 platform (dApp) to enable these workshop leaders and participants to create NFT representations of their physical art and to introduce the participants to the world of web3 in general. From de-fi to privacy protection, web3 is where workshop participants can find the tools they need to further practice self-sovereignty, self-determination, and self-efficacy. As an example of a session, we will explore past (and recently recurring) trauma, putting it on canvas through color, energetic mark-making, drawing, and then overwrite those using artistic expressions that bring the creator peace or catharsis.  Self-expression and expelling traumatic events via physical manifestation are dynamic tools in building an individual's sense of control, identity, inclusion, and visibility.  Each person will paint, draw, scrape, scratch and  get the traumatic event on the canvas one way or another, and then layer over it or incorporate it into the final piece, much like we must incorporate grief into our psyche in order to keep living healthily after a loss.    It sounds intense as it’s written here, and parts of it may be, but we will teach real skills and techniques in a way that is playful, fun, exploratory, easily accessible to people with no previous arts experience, and completely non-judgemental.  Our hope is that through numerous interactions over the course of a year, people will feel empowered and understood in new and important ways.   The United States is the most dangerous country in the world for women, in 2022, according to world population review.   Intimate partner violence (IPV) results in 1300 deaths and over 2 million injuries in the US, ANNUALLY.  75% of those deaths occur when a woman attempts to or has left.   1 in 3 women worldwide has been forced into sex, beaten, or otherwise abused by their partner.  Domestic violence affects women of color disproportionately, especially severe physical violence.  Black women are the most likely to be beaten severely and to die from domestic violence in the US.   Women between the ages of 18-24 are the most likely to experience domestic violence, followed by teens between the ages of 11-17. This is when you look at the statistics of what is REPORTED. “Getting away is a mother fucker. It is dangerous. It is TERRIFYING. I know because I've done it.   My ex-husband tried to kill me by pushing me down a flight of stairs to a concrete floor in view of our 4-year-old son. My daughter's father, a different man, dragged me out of bed by my hair, broke my finger, choked me, and squeezed my jaw so hard that I could barely open my mouth for 4 days. While I was pregnant. When I finally got him out of my house and had a restraining order, I woke up to him standing over me as I slept after breaking into my home. He was not arrested, despite the restraining order. Therapeutic art has been one of the most powerful tools in our recovery.” - Maaike Programs exist but aren't sufficient. There are domestic violence resources to leave. There are escape plans.  There are advocates who will guide you through the court process.  These resources are stretched thin as paper and require call after call to access them.  You know who can’t make call after call and get return calls?  Women who are living under the thumb of a domestic terrorist.  There are countless recovery programs for abusers that are paid for by the government and, usually, court-mandated. In addition, there are endless free (and paid) recovery/rehab programs for addiction to alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, and eating disorders, including many 12-step meetings across the US daily for these issues.     For people who have experienced abuse, recovery programs are few, not well structured, and underfunded. As a result, you often find people with good intentions running a circle of stories centered around the abuser (codependent behavior) that often turns into the suffering Olympics rather than focusing on the woman, her progress, and her well-being.   Getting and staying in an abusive relationship results from not having a clear sense of self and firm boundaries. The red flags that typically occur long before abuse escalates to becoming physical would end the relationship for people with healthy boundaries. The problem with never having had any agency over yourself is that you don't understand that LEAVING is the correct response to abusive behavior or that you even have that as an option. While ending the relationship and respecting yourself is the right answer, no person alive can do those things if they don't know deep down that they CAN and have an intrinsic power over their own life. People who are raised with a lack of autonomy simply have no idea about personal boundaries, let alone how to apply them. Sometimes they don't even understand that a person who is hurting won't just decide to stop.  To be clear - abusers are 100% responsible for the abuse they dole out. There is no BLAME for the person who is abused.   People need to be taught how to move forward, and there is a glaring lack of help. To work their way up to leaving an abusive situation or to rebuild themselves after they have left, they need to discover their identity away and apart from the negative patterns of abuse, likely all they have ever known. This is the space we aim to fill. In the curriculum we are outlining, the most important thing is developing a sense of self and the absolute value of each individual's perspective, expression, taste, and message, all of which happens in the inner world. Neil Gaiman said, ""The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision.""  In my opinion, sparking the imagination of the inner world of an individual and repeatedly affirming the value of their voice is one of the most revolutionary things you can do, especially for someone who is being or has been oppressed. What happens inside of us belongs only to us.  Funding will go toward: Curriculum development Space and material costs for in-person workshops for women and children Filming demos and video editing for online use Creating a web3 platform whose functionality will include  Managing the workshops Onboarding participants to web3 by helping them understand web3 better and get a digital wallet if they don't have one. Creating NFT collections (using Unlock Protocol on Polygon) representing progress throughout the workshop. They will ultimately end up with a history of their process from start to finish, a story of their healing. Future Goals: Additional curriculum material from a diverse group of artists - ongoing Gain widespread adoption of the curriculum for use by domestic violence services and individuals nationwide Create a variation of the curriculum to be used with kids as a DETERRENT to domestic violence Broaden the potential benefit to people who speak a wide range of languages beyond English Additional goals will be added as they become clearer Maaike Fettah, Founder Personal History & Experience  I have been painting since 1995. I am a self-taught artist, gathering information and skills from a few college classes, a handful of online courses, YouTube tutorials, extensive reading, and art evaluation, and just DOING it.  Painting has been many things to me, but it has been most relevant to therapy and life. I believe that art in all its forms is one of the most powerful means of personal transformation and restoration. While my current art practice is primarily about bringing beauty and joy into a world that can be very harsh, I have used art to process grief, build my sense of self, and exorcise traumatic events and their memories. I started in oils and worked sporadically in that, aerosol,  and other mediums as a means of self- expression until 2010.  At that time, I began to use art to process trauma, specifically domestic violence and rape.  The art therapy techniques my son was taught  after witnessing his father try to kill me, were essential to his recovery, and led me down this path.  I began working in acrylics/mixed media and found a magic I had previously only known through making music.  I have also worked in watercolors, primarily in 2011 and again in 2019, when we were in Morocco, during which time I created an entire body of work - 30+ pieces - over a 5 month period, and solidified my desire to move toward being a full-time artist. In my opinion, abstract and emotional expressionist art is a profoundly impactful form of visual communication that allows both the creator and viewer to be moved in profound ways. My current work explores vibrant color, texture, shape, movement, and storytelling by imbuing the canvas with energy and emotion.  The most significant history of my past and current work can be viewed on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/iMaakeArt. I have a degree in Mass Communication and Journalism with a minor in Psychology which informs my understanding of visual communication. In addition, I have studied brain and behavior correlation and taken a deep dive into PTSD, trauma, and recovery from it.  I have taken several courses in Group Therapy and believe what I learned about group dynamics will be an asset. My track record connecting seemingly divergent groups of people through art and music spans nearly 3 decades. My career as a financial planner speaks to my ability to communicate complex ideas in an easily understandable way, manage numerous relationships simultaneously, network broadly, and steward resources responsibly. I am accustomed to floating between groups of vastly different socio-economic and cultural situations with consideration for all and an eye to my own internalized biases.  Currently I am the Chief Alchemist and Art Director of Sunshine Alchemists & Soap Co and Night Sun Candle Company, businesses I have founded over the past 7 years, as well as an artist. We employ women coming out of domestic violence and give them flexibility and support to maintain financial solvency while remaining available to their children. Receiving funding for this project will enable me to shift further into community healing and art and free up finances to create additional employment opportunities there.    I have lived a great deal of life, which has given me a tremendous amount of compassion.  My parents were Christian fundamentalist pastors with a church and school in Montana. Our family lived in the abandoned forest service building that also housed the church and school.  We showered at the Y across the street.  There was no real kitchen.  Our power was turned off regularly.  I know what it is to live out of a gym bag and rely on the kindness of others for food. I had my first job at 12, out of necessity, touching up frames in a factory. Thankfully, my path also led me to live in the Bay area, New York, here in New Mexico, and to spend time in New Orleans and Miami, with people from all over the world.   I have learned that how I was raised and what I thought was normal was far from it and that unlearning is an intentional process which is ongoing.  I have lived through… way too many violent incidents of varying natures, and as Lin-Manuel Miranda says, “Wrote my way out.”  Angela Steffens, aka wonderwomancode Co-founder Personal History As a woman who has had a long career in tech, I'm excited to be involved with a project that I feel will significantly impact bringing more DEI to the space. But, more importantly, I am confident it will reduce the suffering caused by domestic violence and hopefully it will reduce the numbers by ending what can sometimes be generational patterns. I started my career more than 20 years ago when I graduated with a degree in computer science. Since then, I have worked as a full-stack developer, architect, consultant, engineering lead, and founder. As a result, I have the skills necessary to help bring organization and coordination to this project to ensure the funding received is used as efficiently as possible and to guide development on the web3 platform in a way that will see actual results. I've been involved in the web3 space since 2018; currently, I work for a web3 protocol, belong to many DAOs, including several others with a focus on DEI, and serve on the board of advisors for several other web3 companies.",2022-09-02T22:07:04.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7444,False,False,0x0,Oroboros (First stones Development on IRL Camps),https://gitcoin.co/grants/7444/oroboros-first-stones-development-on-irl-camps,"To integrate crucial perspectives in the funding process.

And we will aggregate the knowledge from the growing biocommunity and openbio projects, which DNA information as the cornerstone. Scientists, non-traditional bioresearchers, and citizen bio explorers can be connected together through the genomic information they both focus on and annotated with. Empower people to share synthetic biology-related genomic information with ownership and the possibility of community building through the common interest. The cost of sequencing, synthesis, and editing DNA dropping rapidly and the new bioecolonomy is rising People now can be much easier to get into biotechnology development due to the lower cost of DNA sequencing, important bio patents expired, open-hardware movement, 3D printer technology, and wetware distribution (freegene project, iGEM, addgene....). The growing biocommunity expanded globally and there are almost a hundred of DIYbio labs. People are willing to share synthetic biology knowledge. Most of that information is related to genomic information and annotation. And there are lacking good ways to empower people to share and keep the ownership of this precious knowledge, such as a certain modification of the promoter region with A-> T can improve enzyme production to another level. This pain point is what pRoots designed to solve and bring web3 technology to accelerate the people to sharing certain genomic knowledge related to synthetic biology and be connected together due to the census interesting in certain regions of DNA sequencing (beer brewers exchange certain yeast genomic information through annotation in a similar region and be connected together). Biolog is coded and programmed in DNA. Biology is software encoded in DNA. And most of the information is not easy to store, share, and annotated in a more open manner. Most of the genomic information is stored by the governments and traditional academics (such as NCBI and Ensembl) In another way, as more and more DAOs raise funds for bioscience development and decentralized science, there will be also the necessity to build the infrastructure to deal with the related genomic data. pRoots will let biolabs, DAOs, and amateur bioscientists easily allocate the web3 resource as the functionality to deal with their sharable knowledge of genomic information. Basic usage of pRoots can do to build a community around genomic data sharing DeSci DAOs can use pRoots to construct their funded research group to share their genomic data Curated and bridge the open science into sharable knowledge and people can annotate and interacte with it Phase 1 people will use pRoots to store DNA data (fasta, fastq, bam) as easily as possible in a decentralized storage system. enable DAOs and scientists who received crypto funds can use our tools to store, share and annotate their genomic data in a web3 manner people can view their DNA data such as plasmids from a browser with a useful viewer and store the metadata in a decentralized way Phase 2 provide an interactive way to let the genomic metadata connected and sharable, and aggregate the current important synthetic biology open plasmid data to bridge the web3 and current biocommunity. bridging the current open bio community such as global biocommunity, freegan, iGEM to provide they to use this tool to store, share, and annotate in pRoots Phase 3 provide API to let DAOs, other web3 service to create smart contract with genomic data request UpDate: 20220917 thank you for the support we received from the crpyto community, and we will begin to give back to the community and bring more open science people to know the gitcoin platform and how they can use this platform to do public good, the first step is bringing out the plan to support the iGEM team in our local region and we hope in the near future we can reach out to more iGEM teams in another region.

If you have, it was probably one of the biggest pains in your life. But imagine not knowing what happened, imagine that loved one left home one day and never came back... worldwide this is a reality for millions worldwide. Missing people shatters lives, families and communities. Reunited is an awarded project at ETH Mexico developed as a decentralized (peer-to-peer) easy-to-use solution to help people find their missing loved ones. After ETH Mexico we have decided to bring this project to life as a DAO and partner with stakeholders in the space to help people everywhere in the world find missing people. But we can't do it without donors to help cover the costs of infrastructure and support those working to help find missing people. The problem. Missing people is the result of wars, conflicts, human rights abuses, natural/human-made disasters, organized crime, trafficking, drug violence, migration, among other factors. The International Commission of Missing People acknowledges the huge challenge that represents having reliable databases; information is scattered, unreliable, outdated and in many cases even censured. When a person goes missing there is a huge psychological, physical and economic damage for all parties involved; the missing, the families and the communities. This is a matter of peace, truth, justice, reparations, mental health, security, economy, migration, equality and other topics. It can be also viewed from a discriminatory perspective on gender, origins, race, sexual preference and social class. Thousands of people go missing every day. It's not overstated that missing people shatter lives, families and communities. The solution. We have developed a functioning prototype platform that allows people to report missing people in a simple way. Information is stored on the blockchain making it transparent, uncensorable and easily accessible. Yet information will be encrypted to avoid bad actors. Finally, we have a system that allows those who might have found a missing person to frame them with a camera device to compare it with the database using an Artificial Intelligence system to try to find a match. Key Benefits: + Inclusive. Available worldwide and easy to use (you only need an email, password, data and photo of the missing person. + Decentralized. A P2P database to help scale efforts to match unidentified people with missing people. Furthermore, making it permissionless may help this grow more than any current system. + Immutable. This database can be tempered by any government or third party. Use cases. + Vulnerable communities: Help kids, migrants, disabled, victims of traffic and other vulnerable people get back home and reunited with their loved ones. + Unidentified diseased. Help families get certainty closure and reunite with the remaining of their loved ones. + Missing pets. Potentially we could customize the software to help find other species, like cats & dogs. Use of funds. 250 USD monthly to cover costs of infrastructure (servers, software, etc) 7500 USD to bring this prototype into a fully functional system that may provide this service to thousands.

It is a reward badge to add to a collection of actions you participated in, whether it is building a community or taking part in a climate action. It activates and rewards people who are taking action in the current social justice and climate crises, whether it is building, creating, protesting or participating in citizen initiatives. The current economic system rewards those who are destroying the planet. Can we activate more people to take action in the current climate and social justice crisis? And can we create a mini reward system to thank and incentivize people for doing so? How can we build community among Climate activists, artists, entrepreneurs, public benefit companies, in short, to paraphrase Kevin Owocki in Green Pill podcast #21 on Impact Certificates:  “How can we create a world in which everyone is creating a positive impact [in our case, Climate Impact] and getting rewarded for doing it?” Following the example of the POAP, and experiencing the eagerness and motivation it brings to do more work and attend more meetings, we came up with the idea of a POCA … a proof of climate action.  We can only dream of a network of coffeeshops, local grocery shops, hostels, co-working spaces to start offering discounts to active citizens showing their collection of POCAs, growing the community support by rewarding action. “People build their collection of POCA’s, as a proof of participation in climate and community action, as part of a global community.” What will this look like? Like POAPs, the organiser of an action or initiative creates the POCA, that participants can claim and add to their collection. Registrations would be decentralised, but with a quality check from a rotating team. We can create a peer-to-peer approval of the project registering. A map or website would show all the different initiatives, all over the world, visualizing the climate and social justice movement, making it possible for people to join existing initiatives and be inspired. How it is starting For the GR15 All for Climate issues a POCA with a unique design. All Climate-tagged projects can claim an All For Climate GR15 POCA. This Proof of Climate/Community Action can be combined with other POCAs to show that you’ve created a positive climate impact in the world through various actions. We want to build from this idea to create reward system that is not only used in web3, but can create a community amongst all people taking action. Examples Fridays for Future organises an action, all activists that feel like claiming a POCA can do this.  Gitcoin Grants: GR15 issues a POCA with unique design for this round, all tagged participants in projects can claim a POCA Companies: A company organises a fun event for the climate (e.g. a crowdfunding event for climate, an action to raise awareness, a course, a … Citizens: local collective of neighbours starts a community garden and creates a POCA  Ayowecca Uganda organising a weekly tree planting, helpers can claim their POCA’s Challenges Can we build this in a way that it is also possible to store POCA’s not using blockchain?

CrypMetis is an additional APP to Gnosis Safe and allows DAO managers to set recurring payments (e.g. salaries), receive payment/refund requests from members, and create an annotated transaction history for approved and/or rejected payments. DAOs don’t have a reliable process to refund members for out-of-pocket expenses. Blockchain data don’t include metadata and make payment requisitions complicated. Memorizing and executing salary transactions for staff are becoming unmanageable in large scale for DAOs. CrypMetis has its own flaws but overall, it is a useful bookkeeping software based on Gnosis Safe. Its features that can help DAOs manage their accounting and financial needs are perfecting the financial tooling section. As it matures, CrypMetis and Apps alike, will truly make all payments/transactions in the crypto world more efficient, secure and transparent.

The community will reward its members for off- and on-chain climate-positive actions and turn these into functional and serviceable identities across web3 applications. 🌿 What does this mean? Think of it this way - each action that an individual takes to either refrain from harming the planet or to improve regeneration has value. Today, however, we are not able to transparently record that value nor its creator and therefore the given value holds low significance in our consumer economies since we cannot utilise it as an asset. In order for this model to be reversed, our individual impact must become part of our on-chain dynamic and user-controlled identities, aka our Impact Selves. The Impact Self is built on a unique formula deduced impact score. We hold the hypothesis that the better your impact score, the better your credit behaviour. A parallel for this is a modern version of your credit score (but owned and controlled by you) that will enable further use cases which set individual climate-positive impact as the quantifier for access, better terms/conditions, higher yield. 🌿🌿 The ultimate success of the Impact Self will be measured in the improvement of the impact score. I.e. individual reduced negative impact and increased positive impact that is incentivised by ever-increasing use cases 🌿🌿 🌿 Where we are today: Sept 2022 - we are building a social signalling solution that also serves as user-controlled reputation assessment model as an MVP use-case and expanding the core contributing community during EthOnline for proof of concept. This paves our way towards gathering data for proving the correlation between impact score and credit behaviour. For the purpose of this proof of concept, we are starting with tracking on-chain carbon token retirement but will be expanding this shortly after to include off-chain consumer dollars to carbon as step 2. 🌿 Funding from the grants round will allow us to: -Expand the field of off- and on-chain behavioural impact data input sources/integrations -Build out the on-chain Impact Self further from the MVP so as to enable more functionality, ecosystem integrations and encourage external use cases (incl. incentivisation models). 🌿 By early 2023 we will: -Have launched the public minting of Impact Self identity -Launched public beta of Impact Self social signalling use case serving as user-controlled reputation assessment model -Built a core contributor community (and associated incentive mechanism) building in the open -Be in a position to connect the Impact Selves into a self-generating tokenized network 🌿 Lastly, you might ask who the hell do we think we are to be addressing something this insane? Dottyland co-founders, Ketly and Kärri met working at a consumer fintech in Tallinn (look it up, it’s the fintech hotspot of the world 😉). Having spent their careers literally incentivising people to buy more, it hit them that they could be using their knowledge for the opposite - to truly incentivise individual climate-positive actions (including buying less) on mass scale. The team has since grown and includes contributors from across web3 and web2 backgrounds (incl token design and modelling, SaaS growth, fintech engineering, dApps, CEX engineering, environmental data analytics and more).

ReFi How? KOKO DAO works closely with the local communities to create viable economic models as an alternative to deforestation. Why? 500 hectares of forests are deforested every single day in Colombia. Increasing deforestation in protected areas like national parks. Small-scale deforestation is causing ecosystem fragmentation. Solutions to forest preservation like carbon credits are not a sustainable economic model for small-scale forests. In KOKO DAO, we believe that the hardship and resilience of rural communities can be transformed to heal nature as long as we provide them education, stability and women leadership. Pilot project We will test KOKO DAO's model on 37 acres of endangered forest in Huila, Colombia. Why GitCoin Grants? Carbon credits are not economically sustainable for small scale forests, they require forests of at least 400 ha. GitCoin Grants gives us this fantastic opportunity to raise funds and build a community, to keep developing and testing our solutions where preserving nature is our top priority. What the funds will be used for:  Recruiting team for product development, marketing and social media management. Education and work on the ground with local communities and environmental leaders of the region. dMRV technology implementation in our pilot project: 15 hectares of native forest in Huila, Colombia.

The problems Digital identity: At the moment, there are no protocol that provides a real digital identity, what we mainly see is domain name and subdomain. What if we go further ? Airdrop hunters and bots are now everywhere and it becomes more and more difficult to make the difference between engaged users and well coded bots. This example shows that Web3 protocols and Dapps need a decentralized identity tool to identify and reward their real users.  Starknet.id solutions Digital Identity vision : Starknet.id aims to be the naming service of starknet, but it’s not only that.  The grand vision behind starknet.id is that someday, in a society where web3 has permeated the mainstream, a person’s starknet.id can provide a reliable and comprehensive “digital identity”, in contrast to the unreliable self-issued credentials that we decorate our LinkedIn pages and job resumes with. Currently we want to focus on the starknet ecosystem, our goal is to build a decentralized identity service that can be used by all the starknet protocols to identify and reward their real users. To be eligible for rewards users only need to mint their free starknet.id that can be linked with all the off-chain services that are generally used in the crypto ecosystem (discord, twitter and github). Let’s take a use case example :  The developer bobby.stark contributes to the starknet ecosystem by writing some useful code.  To reward him the foundation can give him money, but can also give him a SBT (non transferrable NFT) that proves that his work was a success. This SBT could then act as reference on his digital resume. It works with dev contributions but possibilities are endless : Education: Those who cannot afford an expensive university degree can prove their educational credentials through SBTs displayed on their starknet.id and obtained from avenues of informal learning  Banking: Loan applicants can prove their trustworthiness through the absence of bad credit history, or by showcasing their good reputation through an SBT collection, removing the need for capital-inefficient overcollaterization models commonly used in DeFi (Upon repayment of the loan, another SBT could be issued as proof of repayment) Governance: DAOs can improve their collective decision-making systems by safeguarding against whales (you can’t buy a SBT). DAOs can also avert a tyranny of the majority consensus through a more inclusive voting system design by issuing SBTs to trusted outsiders. (these examples comes from bankless) ENS improvements: To prevent homograph attacks (that are possible on ENS), the starknet.id team created our own encoding that permits to be cheaper and to whitelist a certain number of characters. We also think that UX/UI have to be drastically improved.  We will use account abstraction features permitted by starknet that will allow crypto mobile friendly experience. 2021 adoption was massively driven by collectibles NFTs. We were inspired by their work and we made a cool style where each identity has a unique avatar (easy to share on social media and very visual).

We are creating a new program leveraging the existing GoodDollar ecosystem, allowing existing receivers of UBI to donate their funds towards entrepreneurs who create businesses who accept GoodDollars as payment.  Be part of their journey and follow the stories of crypto entrepreneurs growing their businesses, creating utility for crypto payments, and educating their communities about crypto as part of the process. All raised funds on GitCoin will go directly to entrepreneurs! (Our team memers will build the required functionality in their free time, or as part of other paid gigs.) Building an accessible, efficient and transparent financial system starts with challenging some popular beliefs. These include poverty being a personal choice, people not being able to manage their finances, and a job being a sure way out of poverty. GoodDollar has already deployed a free-to-use digital currency (UBI) and we are now encouraging and creating new opportunities to either donate it to entrepreneurs, or support them directly by buying their goods and services. There are so many creative, talented and skilled individuals in developing countries. People who make a living and run businesses with very little support from authorities and the formal financial sector. From backroom rentals to hair salons and catering, to selling doughnuts or airtime, these are individuals who are true entrepreneurs in every sense of the word. We want to show that crypto can be a way out of poverty and financial repression.

The funds raised will be solely used for the development of this module.     Phase 1 Gameplay and Features Monsters and creatures lurk across the Realms Eternum, in search of fresh human blood to feast on and eventually the Lich King will dominate mankind.     Monsters randomly spawn across the 8,000 Realms They feast on Troops & Adventurers to grow in strength and power Valuable Resources are plundered when Monsters win the battle against Troops & Adventurers Troops & Adventurers gain Morale and Resources when they successfully slay Monsters Time decay for Monsters during days of inactivity     Phase 2 Gameplay and Features   The battlefield was a scene of utter carnage. Adventurers and troops perished as Monsters pillage their homes and destroy their fortresses.     Troops & Adventurers can assemble party attacks on Monsters Monsters group together to raid on Troops & Adventurers Monsters concoct new Resources to create new dens, hideouts, weaponries and armouries     Phase 3 Gameplay and Features   Lich King is resurrected from the depths of Hell and unleashed its fury on the entire Realmsverse. Will Mankind survive this ordeal to emerge stronger or is this the end of the World?     Quarterly event where World Boss such as a Lich King is resurrected from the depths of Hell. Troops and Adventurers band together regardless of which Order they belong to. Slayer of the World Boss will be bestowed an Ancient Relic.

The content is there, yet everyday people still have to endure a lot of friction to get involved in crypto and web3. We believe the secret to onboarding doesn't lie solely in better UX, but better pathways to contribution. That's why we set out to build the simplest possible introduction to crypto. Leaving most of the techy mumbo-jumbo aside and focusing exclusively on the stuff you need to learn to get started. By encouraging curiosity and giving you the tools to start exploring, we believe our approach can get your uncle/aunt, cousin or sibling signing transactions and minting NFTs in the span of a dinner table conversation. ___ What is Repetition Learning? What do Duolingo, Brilliant, Codecademy, and hundreds of other learning apps all have in common? They make learning fun and habitual by harnessing repetition learning. This learning technique seeks to strengthen memory retention by encouraging the learner to re-visit and re-learn the core contents of any lesson. This has been proven to enable lightning fast mastery of any given topic, given the experience is fun enough for the user to keep on coming. We believe we've cracked the code in that aspect. As we said in our opening line, the content is there. But how often do you come back to a 3-page instructional guide? Repetition learning seeks to break complex topics into bite-sized chunks that can be revisited over and over as needed, allowing for a deeper and more engaged understanding of the lessons. On top of that, we also took a particular approach to further learning paths for our Candidates. We offer them the very basics they need to know, but also make sure to point them in the right direction with curated sources if they wish to go down their rabbit hole of choice.  This easy onboarding mechanic aims to nurture the mindset of curiosity that will end up making all of the difference in the long run. By making the initial experience less stressful and more of a leisurely learning path, we can ensure our participants will gain confidence and explore deeper down the web3 ecosystem at their own pace. ___ So, let's get to the good stuff. Allow us to introduce you to the Astronaut Candidate (ASCAN) training, a highly curated and hand crafted onboarding experience that trims the crypto-knowledge fat as much as possible. Average users don't need to know how a platform works at the protocol level, they just need a wallet and some ETH to start participating in our ecosystem. What's more, we offer them a specific mission to work towards from the get-go, in the shape of their first free NFT, which they'll just need to complete a few lessons to get. By driving their intention and rewarding their curiosity, we'll make sure they know everything they (truly) need to become active participants in web3. These NFTs will have no monetary value, and will be soul-bound to the candidates’ wallet. We’re not about giving people another reason to speculate, quite the contrary. These tokens will serve the key purpose of data points from which our more ambitious endeavors will spring . As a way of linking up a full entryway into our space, after launch, we’ll be focusing significant efforts on finding and consolidating key partnerships with other beginner-oriented projects. This may involve special access, ELI5 events with key players in the DeFi, L2, and DAO space; as well as some potential future experiments aimed at demonstrating how web3 is good for much, much more than just the speculatory and financial. Beyond that, the NFT makes for a beautiful memory of the user's first foray into web3. More than anything we aim to make the entry barrier for web3 as low as possible and make it an enjoyable and positive experience for the user - and also making sure they are safe on their way once they start to venture off into their own communities and projects. Why go for a Grant? We’ve been building this course out of sheer passion for the past few months, paying for development out of pocket, and spending long nights tweaking the core experience to offer a truly approachable gateway into crypto. The time has come to scale our idea into what it can truly become, and we would love your support in expanding and realizing this vision to its full potential. If you’re not in a position to offer your financial support through this grant, we absolutely understand, but there are plenty of ways to help out! We'd be happy to talk about any potential partnerships, and even just a nice DM can help us a lot! 🙂  We’re looking to grow and develop in the following areas specifically: Porting the course to a mobile app Designing our future courses (protocol and platform partnerships) Community building for web3 newcomers Social media (looking at you, chief meme officers) Sybil resistance against course completion by “airdrop farmers” The core lessons of our project are only the tip of the iceberg, the MVP. We want to eventually extend our infrastructure of easy-to-start “course-lets” (if that’s even a word) to anyone looking to share a complex message in an easy to digest manner. So much of web3 passes unnoticed nowadays just for the lack of a clear way to communicate its value, we can help with that. Join us in our dream of making web3 accessible to everyone, not through quantity but quality. Even if we end up just helping a single person dive into our space, we'll feel like our mission was successful. We're simple like that: one step at a time. Ready for Lift-off. We have already completed all of our lessons and are working on launching the experience for the masses, free of charge, as soon as possible. Just a few nuts and bolts to tighten before the first iteration of ASCAN goes live.  The core product is already here, we will be launching it soon no matter what. Still, there's still so much to cover for the knowledge resource we plan on eventually becoming, that's where you fit in. We're looking to expand our curriculum, and include laser-focused pathways into web3, no matter your level of tech literacy. Besides that, we also dream of one day porting our web experience into its own mobile app, to meet our people where they stand. For now, we're working on two big undertakings in the medium term: Launching the Course App: ASCAN can only really achieve its full potential if the experience can be felt in a mobile-native way. Our end goal is to build an app that can be accessed from every mobile device in the world, even without an internet connection. This also involves growing our curriculum to include lessons beyond the essentials. Covering topics from decentralized social to L2s. Creating a Course Builder: As part of that end goal, we also plan to open up access to our platform for interesting projects and protocols in the space. Allowing them to craft their own easy to grasp mini-courses to help us make web3 learning less of a challenge for newcomers. Down the line, the course builder will allow you to explain your complex DeFi protocol or ecosystem in just a few slides, as easily as you'd make a Canva presentation. The sky's the limit from there. We don't currently plan on launching a token (besides the free NFTs) or establishing any type of DAO structure, we'll let the needs of the project dictate how we scale. For now, we're more than happy to share the news, and full access to the course soon enough, with you. If this project resonates with you and you know someone who'd appreciate an easy introduction to web3, you'd be doing us an amazing favor by sharing this referral link. We promise to take good care of them.

Inspiration When we say that an Ethereum account has been lost, it refers to two cases: The owner forgets the private key, which means the assets are permanently lost. The owner leaks the private key, which means anyone with the private key can act the same as the original account owner. Our project aims to protect account owners of the latter case, which is very dangerous: the account owner loses the exclusive right to use the account, which indicates the account is not secure anymore. For leaked accounts, DApps should be aware of them on time to protect the original owners of these accounts. For example, when one reports that her account is leaked: Multi-signature wallets (e.g., Gnosis Safe) should ban this account. Web3 email providers (e.g., MetaMail) in which users log in with signatures should suspend everybody's access to emails of this account to protect the privacy of the original owner. Electronic agreements based on ETH accounts (e.g., ETHSign) should disqualify this account from signing new agreements. Because the new agreements signed may not be authorized by the original owner. To solve the above problems, we propose the 0xdeadlist.io project to maintain a list of addresses whose private keys have been leaked. By rewarding the burier NFT (Non-fungible token), 0xDeadList encourages users and hackers to report accounts with leaked private keys, and stores the information of these leaked accounts on the chain to facilitate DApps project parties to query these insecure accounts. What it does 0xDeadList is a public good that encourages users to collect and report addresses whose private keys are leaked. Users can directly log in to 0xdeadlist.io to report the leaked address. The main contract of 0xDeadList provides two steps (lock address and bury address) to report leaked addresses under the following considerations: Preventing the reporter's NFT reward from being stolen by front-running attacks. Ensuring the reporter has enough time before the private key of the leaked address is fully disclosed. In step 1, the reporter locks the address to be buried, and the contract records the address of the reporter. At this time, the private key of the locked address will not be disclosed. In step 2, the user uploads the private key of the locked address in step 1, and the reporter address recorded in the contract will receive an NFT reward, indicating that the address is buried, and the buried (or say, leaked) address will receive a tombstone SBT (Soul Bound Token), which is not transferable. In step 2, the private key of the buried address will be made public (recorded on-chain), ensuring the leaked address is indeed leaked. The 0xDeadList project is fully open-sourced, and here are some resources: Website: https://0xdeadlist.io GitHub: https://github.com/0xDeadList Contracts: 0x59451a98d772f2a53ca2241a884b1703f8c55218 ",2022-09-03T09:46:43.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7465,True,True,0x89C4efDCeA57e9a74e94CC15890e9193D8c7A0BB,BlockModel - Tokenomics Made Easy,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7465/blockmodel-tokenomics-made-easy,"BlockModel is a Research&Development infrastructure for Web3, focusing on Tokenomics design and analysis. We propose a standard for Tokenomics design, including Tokenomics Modeling Language (TML) and a development framework. TML is a Domain-Specific-Language, with declarative specification and formal verification. On top of that, the development framework is graphical, which can also be compatible with existing platforms, eg. Remix, Hardhat. What's more, BlockModel has a built-in property-driven automatic economy analysis tool. The tool is easy to use and precise. With the help of this tool, a Web3 team could make accountable decisions while managing their project. Last but not least, we believe our Tokenomics-Insight-as-NFT mechanism will be good for empowering Web3 collaborative R&D ecosystem, improving the sustainability of Web3 ecosystem.

But web3 will unlock this. Content is abundant and growing fast. Think about resources like YouTube, course platforms like Udemy and Coursera and internal solutions like Notion. The current online knowledge and learning programs, however, are created as standalone resources in proprietary platforms and are not designed to be shared, nor for other humans to be available to provide guidance in an efficient and rewarding way. And they are definitely not designed to be upgradable by a larger audience (Wikipedia style). Community managers have difficulties creating content and guidance for new roles and keeping up to date with changes in their fields. A learner can’t customize to their current needs the learning content provided, let alone practice the skills and learn from their mistakes. Experts and creators are not rewarded correctly, whether the reward is recognition or money.    The solution Patica is a digital learning platform based on a knowledge graph and focused on personal learning and human guidance, to adapt online education to web3 challenges and today’s needs: Personal learning is the type of learning where the learner takes responsibility & ownership, creates and curates the learning journey, and defines the definition of success.  Human guidance is where a human with domain knowledge helps the learning: coach, advisor, assessor, etc. Help with the curation of the learning journey or the assessment of the success of learning.   The users Our target users are not only purpose organizations & their stakeholders (contributors and/or beneficiaries), but also everyone who is willing to learn new skills to reach their own objectives.  Imagine Juan. He wants to turn his organization into a DAO, but he has no idea how to do. Thanks to Patica, Juan created his own tailored learning program, from DAO fundamentals to governance and treasury. He talked to experts on the way and got feedback on his plans to successfully launch the DAO. He also contributed to enrich and update the knowledge graph, extended his network and connected with other supporting communities. Imagine Lisa. She would like to monetize her long experience in DAOs and tokenomics. With Patica, she forked an existing program, enriched the knowledge graph with new material and embedded it in her website. A learner, Juan, contacted her with a clear objective. She advised him on best material and shared her experience for a successful DAO. She had a real impact and got rewarded for her expertise. And Juan and her may want to partner up to work on a new project.   Some functionalities  Content will be presented through a knowledge graph where content will be linked to each other though metadata, most likely relying on OriginTrail Decentralised Knowledge Graph architecture. On their dashboard, users will have the possibility to create learning paths by linking actions (curated content) and decision boxes (choices to make to progress). The user-facing part of Patica will eventually have many form factors:  Web application Web embedding code Browser extension Chat bot > Slack / Discord Mobile application   Go to market strategy 1.     At first, Patica will co-create the initial learning programs with starter communities. These programs will include general and community/expert specific content.  2.     In parallel, Patica will design and build the stack: front-end and back-end of the first dApp. This will allow users and communities to share, search and fork learning programs from other users and communities. It will also allow them to reach and interact with experts willing to guide learners on these programs. These experts can come from within their community, be invited to participate from outside, or come from other communities. 3.     This is the part that talks to the knowledge graph and handles the transactions, to pay other infrastructure in the network and/or the creators of programs and experts.    Market Potential & roadmap The global e-learning market was worth USD 215 billion in 2021. It is estimated to reach an expected value of USD 645 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 13% during the forecast period (2022–2030)   Our roadmap is as follows: Phase 0: White paper and MVP Phase 1: New & Existing DAOs and communities that see the value of guiding members to learn new skills (onboarding > active DAO members > specific roles (design/develop), such as: Polkadot EcosystemEco-system Subcommunities: Parity / Relayers / Edgeware / Kabocha / OriginTrail Trusted Seed > Common Stack UX Design Community with focus/interest in developing a Web3 program Developer Community with focus/interest in growing Web3 developers.

We’ve been a leader in DeSci since 2019, with more than 8000 members, 450 open science projects and 20 communities and 3 major programs (COVID, Cancer and Vaccination) on our platform so far.  JOGL currently has two main missions: (1) provide a free digital platform for people to connect and collaborate on open science projects and (2) create giant community-driven laboratories that are dedicated to building open source solutions for critical problems (e.g. antimicrobial resistance or plastic waste). 👉 Objectives of this grant: JOGL has been a web2-based platform since its launch in 2019 and the purpose of this grant is to support the web3fication of the JOGL platform. Our goal is to offer one of the best hubs for DeSci, bridging web2 and web3 Open Science communities. As we are starting this new journey into web3, we need support from the web3 and DeSci communities. We are initially seeking 10000-30000 dollars to help us create the right dynamic around the project. Ultimately, we estimate that at least 300000 dollars will be needed to transform JOGL into a web3 DeSci machine and even more to achieve our vision of a planet-sized laboratory.  We also have two other Gitcoin grants running under the DeSci banner: A Giant Lab for better diagnostic solutions for neglected diseases A Giant Lab for better solutions for antibiotic resistance ✨ The vision so far: Why there is value in bringing JOGL on web3: Opening the web3 DeSci door to many new people. JOGL will make it easy for its current community (8000+ users + Institutional partners) to create and associate a wallet to their account.  Making JOGL compatible with the many exciting web3 DeSci tools being built.  Providing tools to more efficiently capture the value created a given community (DAO model) 🔬 Budget:  With this grant, we will be able to: Study how to best bridge web2 and web3 for our users and partners. We will share publicly all our reflexion and conclusions in order to inspire other founders Fund a team of UX designers and web3 developers that will create the blueprint of JOGL on web3 and implement it Establish key partnerships with web3 and DeSci actors to build a strong future for JOGL More details:  We are building the smartest community on earth and giving it the right resources to develop solutions dedicated to the improvement of our world's well-being.  JOGL’s modus operandi relies on five essential pillars:  A scalable digital open source platform capable of connecting very large numbers of stakeholders and fostering collaboration,  An open and continuous community-based evaluation framework that offers due-diligence services to all initiatives proposed by the community,  An agile funding model providing fast and additive microfunding (<$10k per microgrant) to initiatives positively evaluated by the community, where applicants are also reviewers,  The creation of scientific and technological commons to facilitate egoless collaboration and faster information propagation, and A community animation dynamic that is efficient at fostering collaborations and support among all members of the community. The JOGL platform is fully open source and free for individuals to use. With 8000+ members from 100+ countries and 450+ projects, it is already one of the most prominent spaces for community-driven science and innovation. After 3 years of development, the beta version currently enables:  People and organisations to establish a public profile in the space of community science and innovation People to connect through their common interests, skills, needs and projects.  Communities to be mobilised around a given problem to solve collectively The creation and management of communities around a given theme or organisation’s mission.  The due-diligence of proposals using the collective intelligence of the community We are currently implementing the following functions:  Geo-mapping. It will enable the visualization of the physical distribution and location of a given set of objects (members of a community, organisations, laboratories…) Protocols. Projects will be able to better documentate their work and share their protocols with the rest of the community much more easily.  Resources. Any organisations or people will be able to declare what resources they currently possess and the ones they could share with a given community or project.  🌍 Giant Labs: Giant Labs are the embodiment of the JOGL approach on a specific thematic or problem. They are egoless spaces made to facilitate collaboration between stakeholders and motivated contributors, where resources and funding can be pooled and redistributed asymmetrically as additive microgrants to initiatives positively evaluated by the collective intelligence of its community. Giant Labs have several advantages compared to traditional academic labs or R&D companies. They reduce the cost of prototyping ideas by 10, they produce open knowledge and open source solutions, they are capable of supporting more risky ideas and non-traditional profiles (independants, makers, students…) and they even enable the merging of similar initiatives. It’s not about who comes first but how we go far together. During our OpenCOVID19 initiative, we funded 36 projects out of 150 proposals using the community review and microgrant approach (120k euros available). 22 functional solutions (diagnostic tests, medical devices, lab hardware, education programs, social science studies…), and 12 scientific papers were produced which makes the JOGL model 10 times more efficient than the traditional academic and R&D models.

The “Giant Lab for Better Diagnostic for Neglected Diseases” is a new program by Just One Giant Lab. This grant will help us set up the foundations for the creation of this community-driven decentralised laboratory.    Objectives of the Giant Lab: The objective is to  Decrease the impact of neglected infectious diseases in low and middle income countries Develop and provide low-cost, rapid and easy to use point-of-care diagnostic tests for human and animal neglected tropical diseases, especially the ones strongly connected to the environment.  Additional key features of the tests to be developed are optimal stability/storage (with no cold chain needed), local manufacturing and regulatory process.  All the designs will be shared using open source licences. We will mobilise the community around three major tracks:  Iterative improvement of the diagnostic technology taking local constraints into account and adaptation to target diseases Clinical validation of the tests Local manufacturing and empowerment of local actors So far: We have brought together a consortium of partners (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, FIND, GOSH, AfricaOSH…) and are seeking our first source of funding. Ultimately, we aim at a 500k dollars annual budget over 4 years.  With this grant: We have two initial goals for this grant: 10000 dollars and 30000 dollars. With that, we will: Mobilise 200+ contributors (scientists, engineers, designers, NGOs…)  Fund a few local proof of concept Establish a network of local actors capable of local manufacturing of these tests.  Budget: Microgrants [50%] Incentivizing the project holders using microgrants (up to 2000 dollars) for validated projects - this goes a long way in the global south. Organization of two rounds (one every 3 months) JOGL Operations and Infrastructure [50%] Community mobilization and animation  Creation of the program flow for applicants Mobilization campaign (graphics and social media) Support to the community (community events) Digital Infrastructure Development  Support of the continuous improvement of the JOGL open source infrastructure Maintenance of the platform Fellowship and Leadership of programme  Evaluation of the community program  Sharing of the observation as a public report after 1 year of activity Creation of the program flow for applicants Analysis and sharing of peer-review results  More details: There is a broad interest for the development of such tests in order to increase accessibility of diagnostics, especially in rural / remote areas. Ultimately, this will help improve data on disease prevalence on a larger scale (including secluded areas), and in the long term could lead to implementing a sustainable surveillance system. We will do that through the creation of a decentralised research network of actors (Researchers, entrepreneurs, makers, local practitioners) capable of fast and agile collaboration for the development of low-cost and open source molecular diagnostic solutions optimised for neglected diseases in low and middle income countries (LMIC) in a One-Health context. Here are the constraints that we will be taking into account for the design of solutions: Non-invasive (saliva, urine, microvolume blood sample), adapted to the pathogen and the host Low-cost (affordable for local public health infrastructure) Open licences for easy design sharing and cost control. Easily manufacturable locally to limit logistical cost Regulatory approval (alternative to FDA and CE) Adapted to use by non-technicians No need for heavy equipment Room-temperature stability for use and storage We will use the LAMP (Loop-mediated isothermal amplification) technology as a foundational tech because: “LAMP techniques, sometimes promoted as “field methods,” are also very promising [144]; however, they remain in the hands of those laboratories that implemented their initial development and have never reached the stage of practical and widespread use, so they have never been really validated”. https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/s13071-022-05190-1.pdf Easy to prototype Some patents are expired No need for heavy equipments Low-cost We will use the JOGL approach to structure, engage and animate the community. It relies on five pillars: A scalable digital open source platform capable of connecting very large numbers of stakeholders and fostering collaboration, currently with 8000 members from 100+ countries. An open and continuous community-based evaluation framework that offers due-diligence services to all initiatives proposed by the community, An agile funding model providing fast and additive microfunding (2-20k per microgrant) to initiatives positively evaluated by the community, where applicants are also reviewers, The creation of scientific and technological commons to facilitate egoless collaboration and faster information propagation, and A community animation dynamic that is efficient at fostering collaborations and support among all members of the community. We are aiming at making a proof of work using a simple agenda of 6 months of preparation and 1 year of facilitation with the objective of developing the first iterations of tests for a couple of diseases. If successful, the program will be strengthened and scaled to even more partners and diseases. We will use the two following neglected diseases as targets for our proof of concept . Leptospirosis There is currently no rapid diagnostic tests available in LMIC used as a routine test (too expensive) The most used test is a serological one and requires heavy equipment and a lab environment with trained technicians to run it. It is a disease that concerns as much humans as animals. Environmental contamination is often the driving factor and so must be more thoroughly studied We need to do more surveillance in order for local governments to design better public health policies and to enable faster reaction to potential pandemic threat LAMP-based tests have been developed by labs but remain research-use only Trypanosomiasis LAMP has been tried but unsuccessful so far. There is an opportunity to prove that the community open approach can help Currently requires two successive tests (serological and parasitological) There are only two manufacturers of rapid tests for THA and TAA and they are occidental companies using a subvention-based model. This makes them vulnerable to any decrease in subvention and could stop production any time. Local manufacturing is a critical factor if we want sustainable local surveillance capacities. There are several species of trypanosoma and there are no universal tests. Animals are pathogen reservoirs There are asymptomatic carriers (for both animal and human), we need more systematic testing There are entire regions where we have no data and could be key reservoirs to be monitored Giant Labs are the embodiment of the JOGL approach on a specific thematic or problem.

What's more, we have funded the creation of genomic labs in the Philippines and started antiviral projects such as symptom related AI that scrolls through twitter, quarantine enabling apps, as well as self diagnostic apps and a web service for tracking and identifying AMR based in Africa. We have recently in the OpenCOVID19 programme : https://app.jogl.io/program/opencovid19 connected thousands of volunteers, and funded the best talent in an extremely efficient funding process known as microgrants to create hundreds of projects to tackle the current pandemic, many of which are based on diagnostics, but also many of which are hindered by lack of funds to take their project further in many cases.",2022-09-03T11:38:58.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7469,False,False,0xB538526731b3AAe9a90199837E778995Ef05916B,CryptoLumenati ~ Polygon Activation,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7469/cryptolumenati-polygon-activation,"We are a culture of people who are passionate about creating art with light.  We want to be together, and we love to display enormous, generous, artistic and poignant images in outdoor spaces to delight, inform and inspire the public.

As the regenerative design movement expands, with iterations in community finance, blockchain, agriculture, and material & organizational design, practical local implementation is the logical next step. But the task of scaling these technologies to the level of viable local infrastructure faces major logistical and cultural barriers. Extractive financial mechanisms and institutions that serve their interests still carry mainstream narrative power, holding the mantle of realism and utility with perverse ideologies that are, at their core, irreal and anti-life. We can only respond with reality: as the wealth chase is pushed aside, it's the urgent mandate of an escalating climate crisis that will make resilient and autonomous regional infrastructure a matter of life and death. (It already has.) Portland Regenerative Technology Commons is doubling down on realism, strategically reframing the language around technology to embrace, as it always should have, the wide range of innovations and strategies that apply systems thinking and emergent properties to the mutual benefit of living systems. For us, any technology that implements these principles is avant garde, whether hi or lo, soil or silicon. Similarly, no matter how apparently sophisticated, we see that the technologies of extraction, surveillance and capture are lo-tech, obsolete, and irreal in their goals. When we demystify internet and distributed ledger technology, or currency and governance models, as design systems that succeed or fail in integrating harmoniously with a variety of life systems, we place them on a flat plane with technologies of soil management and food production. Those that have already made this conceptual move have found rich resonance across design systems, sparking a small renaissance of open source, decentralized and regenerative innovations.    Kailash Ecovillage in Southeast Portland Portland in particular stands out as a hub for this renaissance - for decades we’ve been a stronghold for experiments in open source, adequate technology, mutual aid, alternative food security and permaculture (backyard chicken coops have reached the level of cliche in this town). We’ve been home to visionaries of decentralization and regenerative thinking like Paul Stamets, Viviane Barnett, Linus Torvalds, Ursula Le Guin and Toby Hemenway, and community projects like Kailash Ecovillage (above) and Intersection Repair. Our initial members have connections with local organizations including Depave, Oregon Just Transition Alliance, City Repair, and Friends of Trees, alongside some of the broader existing permaculture, community organizing, and mutual aid communities around the city. As a city, we have the space, resources, and established community organizations to do tech-enhanced bioregionalism the right way. At Portland Regenerative Technology Commons, we intend to be a community space, work area and event venue for all of these energies, with an emphasis on regenerative and community-oriented finance (including #ReFi, LETS, cooperative and mutual credit models), open design/open hardware, distributed ledger and DAO tech, Ostromian commons management, alternative food supply and urban permaculture. We see these as the core technologies that will be needed to build a decentralized, regenerative bioregional infrastructure that can ensure our community’s safety in the face of crisis and breakdown, while providing another strategic example in localism for the global experiment in degrowth and regeneration. We have been inspired to this task by the global Regen web3 movement - the Crypto Commons Hub and Regens Unite stand out as examples for some of the first experiments in IRL localized movement building in the space. We also draw guidance of vision from the local multi-racial coalitions of environmental justice like Oregon Just Transition Alliance and Coalition of Communities of Color. We hope to build a community that can maintain and empower regenerative solutions and projects in Cascadia, including those that have been fighting for decentralization and autonomy decades before the inception of blockchain technology. Our grant will benefit the entire web3 Public Goods ecosystem by continuing the process of localizing this movement, bridging the local-global gap between crypto regens and the many communities fighting for justice and systems resilience, and creating a space where can develop strategies, share knowledge and experiment with adequate community coordination for the 21st century. Our Specific Near Term Goals: Establish the Portland Regenerative Technology Cooperative to provide services for reliable income flow and stage floating meetings as an organizational wing of the commons. Lease a brick and mortar space on Portland’s Eastside. Our current intention is to sign a year lease with this 1,079 foot flex space in the Mississippi neighborhood of North Portland. The space is open air with a loft and kitchenette, making it perfect for small community gatherings, events and talks while being capable of hosting one or two travelers at a time for lodging. Nearby green space is available in the neighborhood. Build relationships with and offer our space to a diverse range of community members and builders, including those in broader Cascadia who may want a home base in the city, to share work, discuss strategies, and collaborate.  The space.

We’re utilizing a novel intellectual property (IP) framework called an IP-NFT, which enables funding, owning and transacting IP in an open and distributed market while preserving privacy and protection. In simple terms, it allows a decentralized entity like a DAO to own, curate and distribute IP. The IP-NFT framework has been validated by VitaDAO, which funds longevity and therapeutics research.  “SynBio is a toolbox that enables scientists to engineer the DNA of microorganisms to sustainably produce - among other things - cultured meats and textiles, and capture carbon directly from the air and convert it into value-added products such as food-proteins and biofuels.” At ValleyDAO, we are a group of academics, entrepreneurs, IP experts, business developers and solarpunks who believe in the power of SynBio technologies as a promising solution to combat climate change. Why ValleyDAO? The degree to which the SynBio technologies and know-how can be accessed could soon determine the fate of economies. The pharmaceutical industry, for example, outrageously prices therapeutics and treatments while leaving no room for competition, thanks to their rampant abuse of the traditional patenting system. We need a better system to make sure our medicines, the very food we eat, and access to energy and materials, among other things, do not fall victim to hyper-corporatization in the future. To truly unleash the power of SynBio, we’ll need an innovation ecosystem that fosters collaboration over competition and democratized access over centralized control of IP. Our goal is to create this ecosystem through ValleyDAO. The ValleyDAO Ecosystem To create a self-sustaining ecosystem, we’ll need a mechanism for value creation followed by value capture. Our ecosystem accomplishes just that using a three-part system shown below. 1. The researchers submit their project ideas to ValleyDAO and have them funded if they pass the due-diligence process and a community vote.  2. The IP generated from successful projects is either licensed to the industry or spun out into a startup with the help of ValleyDAO business development team. If appropriate, the IP is also licensed using a pay-what-you-can model for fair and open-source access. 3. Finally, the proceeds, as royalty payments or startup equity, go back into the treasury which enables ValleyDAO to fund new research projects. It is imperative to mention that ValleyDAO’s assets - IP, equity, licensing revenues, etc. - are ultimately managed by a community of token-holders. This ensures that the decisions involving funding and IP licensing are as democratized as possible. In other words, ValleyDAO acts as a startup creation studio and as a democratized IP generating engine with a fair pricing model built into it. This ensures that the researchers are rewarded for their efforts and vital SynBio technologies are not gatekept, but are made available to the industry, entrepreneurs, and other researchers who might want to integrate them into their work. An open ecosystem ultimately drives faster adoption and innovation. The open source software industry is a case in point. Accomplishments and Roadmap    Use of Funds   All proceeds from the Gitcoin grant will go towards funding the first IP-NFT/research project, which is led by Dr Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro at Imperial College London. His research group will use the funds to develop an improved platform technology for the sustainable production of fats and oils using microorganisms. The use cases for these products are endless, ranging from palm oil to biofuels. Thank you very much for your support!   Core Team   Hamza Qureshi: Former founder in the clean energy space.

Committable aims to create a community where 1) the contributions of developers are acknowledged ""by algorithms"" 2) incentives are distributed to developers based on their contributions in a transparent style. 3) open-source project donators know where their donations are going and the outcomes from their contributions. Committable aims to expand the developer community with transparency and make open-source projects, whether large or small, sustainable. Besides those mentioned above, we also think Committable is a good platform for - attracting new donators who want to contribute to the Ethereum community and open-source projects. - encouraging new developers to the web3 world to have some feedback to acknowledge their contributions, whether large or small. - connecting donators and developers in the web3 world and on open-source projects. Better web3 buidl experience - supporters exchange their goodwill into a prosperous web3 world - developers can continuously contribute to the web3 world, with acknowledgement and honour.  What technologies are behind Committable? Program Analysis The code that our developers write is text with syntax and semantics. With the help of the technique called ""program analysis"", we can peek into how a piece of code works and how much effort and contribution it contains in a further step. Trusted Computing With the help of trusted computing technologies, the program analysis algorithm can run in an unbiased environment which means anyone can repeat an analysis process and get the same result. Decentralisation Committable is born on Ethereum. Like other dApps, Committable's data are generated and kept on Ethereum. Committable benefits from the composability of the Ethereum ecosystem. As a part of this system, Committable also can be composed of other protocols. Read more about our work.

It is a co-living and co-working space for scientists, Web3.0 communities, designers, and digital nomads. OpenCampus is now evolving into a DAO-based Re-Fi and De-Sci project.  HOW IT WAS STARTED A group of willing people related to science, technology and design from all over the world, we have been together to share our knowledge and experiences with new generations and beginners, and we have organized a 9-day camp called HacknBreak since 2016. In curation, we were inspired entirely from open source, free software, open science and open innovation cultures, and communities. These events were also an environment where the blockchain communities in Turkey came together for the first time. HacknBreak was creating a free learning environment in peace where curious people learn from each other. https://youtu.be/rBPkIKB5d74 We held these activities on the land we rented in Urla, İzmir. Every year we restore it with a small budget for HacknBreak while preserving its nature and biodiversity. We called this area OpenCampus.  We did it together. We can do it again. In the past 6 years, more than 700 scientists, academics, and professionals from all over the world have volunteered in our projects and activities. In this period, we have built a community with our 15.000 event participants who came together, met, became friends, and formed various partnerships in OpenCampus. We believe it is now time to bring this network to a next level. -> OpenCampus Presentation BEST PLACE FOR THE LOCKDOWN TOO  We decided to cooperate to keep OpenCampus alive, and found a cooperative called ScienceCoop. Right after founding the coop, the pandemic started. During pandemic closures, we organized dozens of free online events and bootcamps for developers, scientists and designers. (https://www.youtube.com/c/OpenCampusTR/videos) We came together with small groups physically in isolated OpenCampus land, lived together, and tried sustainable agricultural activities. During the pandemic, together with our cooperative partners and a few community members, we started to think and work on some projects to make the world more resilient to climate change. Some of those; * R&D and P&D activities related to sustainable building materials resistant to earthquake and climate crises using hemp and artichoke agricultural wastes, * New planting and irrigation techniques that will reduce water and chemical fertilizer consumption against the risk of global drought. * Designing and developing a prototype of Smart Mobile Home based on BioComposite materials to minimize embodied carbon into building infrastructure. * DAO and blockchain-based industrial plantation platform w/Chromia (C4EST - https://sciencekoop.org/en/c4est/) THE FIRE! On July 17, our OpenCampus where we carry out group work on projects, come and live together and organize camps and events, was completely burned, along with the trees, materials and equipment inside, as a result of the fire that broke out in the neighboring lands. WHAT WE WILL DO We want to rebuild OpenCampus, the place where we will realize our projects that we have been working on for a long time. This seems like a complex problem, but we believe that it will be solved if it is rethought and redesigned with the collective mind of the community. OpenCampus in the existing land will be a pilot model for co-living and co-working places in nature where Web3.0 communities, scientists, designers and digital nomads live, use and produce. Together with the C4EST platform, we aim to spread the OpenCampus model to the other cities under the pressure of climate change in order to create large green corridors between the cities and the rural areas. We believe that we can achieve this by creating a model based on open source and community support that can be applied in other cities with our expanding community with existing and newly added members. Can you imagine a place where like-minded people, solarpunks, geeks, ecologists, scientists etc come together in a place close to the city but green, built without using any cement, plastic-free, generating its own energy, recycling its waste? Yes, we can imagine, and we called it OpenCampus.     OpenCampus is now evolving into a DAO-based Re-Fi and De-Sci project. Be a part of our community!   ROADMAP  In the Short Term: * Call to OpencampusDAO community.

We want to see web3 become increasingly diverse, inclusive, and equitable. Our mission is to find and equip web3 builders of tomorrow from currently underrepresented groups.    First, we will form partnerships with other organizations that are targeting specific underrepresented communities (whether focused regionally, by language, by race or culture, by gender identity, etc). Our goal will be to provide support through tools, guidance, and resources, eventually building up a playbook that any similar community can use to equip and onboard a new group of people to web3. We plan to focus our initial support particularly in the area of web3 identity and credentials: helping participants build up a record of time and experience in the space.    In the future we also hope to offer different sorts of “experiential learning” opportunities for these communities, like apprenticeships or residencies, where they could receive an income while learning and working.     The ultimate phase of the project will move towards incubating new web3 projects coming from these communities: projects not necessarily focused on DEI themselves, but founded by a team from these diverse communities.   We want to see many of the barriers-to-entry in web3 eroded. Our hope is that many of the underrepresented and under-capitalized groups gain the reputation to have access to 1) contributing to web3 projects, and then 2) gather teams to start web3 projects of their own.  Our hope is that some of the least represented communities today can give birth to some of the most prominent and successful web3 founders of tomorrow.  Why us?

Before entering Web3, he was the Event Lead for the Global Accelerator at Hult Prize and involved for 6 years.  Linda started her journey with social entrepreneurship by co-founding a startup back in 2017 that won best social impact award in the international competition INJAZ. Later she joined the Hult Prize Foundation as a volunteer in her university, becoming later an intern, a regional associate, a community builder and then a regional manager. As a regional manager she managed and supervised 600+ university programs within the Europe and MENA region. She successfully led the efforts to expand the program to underrepresented regions and previous war zones such as Syria and Libya through closely working with United Nations agencies in the Middle East.  Nate first met Linda and Viktor when his team Zeolife (focusing on helping smallholder farmers in Colombia), won the regional Hult Prize finals in Vienna, qualifying them for the global accelerator program. He then reconnected with Viktor while leading the “Web3 and Social Impact” elective with CCS (Crypto, Culture, and Society). Nate has also been contributing to Forefront DAO since February, where he helped set up the Season 2 onboarding process, and most recently helped organize and promote their Web3 Creator Residency.

This would be beneficial to the Ethereum ecosystem as a whole. If there was a system of voting contracts covering a wide range of possible voting types from token-weighted voting via quadratic voting to delegation, then DAOs could simply plug in rather than hard-coding yet another, say, token-weighted voting into their contracts. Plugging in would be as simple as pointing to a deployed voting contract. One can also plug out or exchange the reference from one voting contract to another. In order for this to be possible we first put forth a voting standard as an EIP. Subsequently we deploy a couple of core voting contracts as a starting point. We are in contact with two DAOs who are interested in using the framework and helping us build the system. **Update** (8th of September): I have opened a topic on the Ethereum magicians forum to discuss the EIP draft: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-draft-configurable-voting-contract/10736 **Update** (12th of September): Your contribution will cover the deployment costs for a first batch of contracts on ethereum mainnet and polygon. We will also deploy a voting playground dapp on Polygon on the 20th of September. Anyone who interacts with the playground will have an EarlyTester NFT minted to them. Watch this space! **Update** (13th of September): Working together with the web3 developer DAO dOrg: https://twitter.com/dOrg_tech/status/1569398026653020160. **Update** (20th of September) We have deployed our first contract to Polygon. It is a voting contract registry: https://polygonscan.com/address/0x017d53C9CFDb6c79fc4336e5b42749D6171e7098#code Thanks to everyone who contributed. In the coming days we will also deploy: a participation NFT (that can be used also for testing) a registrar for the voting contract registry a resolver for the voting contract registry two or more simple voting contracts a playground voting contract a badge (NFT) to interact with the voting app If those things are going well, we will also deploy some contracts to mainnet. **Update** (21st of September) We have also deployed the voting registry on mainnet: https://etherscan.io/address/0xC535389b5a26efEbc27811915B6d78f6C95433f7 It is a central piece of the architecture, so we are happy to have deployed it to the ethereum mainnet. **Update** (25th of September) We have deployed the following contracts on Polygon: a registrar for the voting contract registry (https://polygonscan.com/address/0x19C079de81C1C1C075B0C3D08B66E27398F641b8) a resolver for the voting contract registry (https://polygonscan.com/address/0x5B6dDD4fbf59Ab342E17946D19ABa88261F3eF92) The first voting contract (Majority vote with ERC721-token weight and quroum) (https://polygonscan.com/address/0xa7C183bBC8c7522115A7919fF84278Cfc9FF67f6) The second voting contract (Another Majority vote without token weight but with quorum) (https://polygonscan.com/address/0xa967470C2A65CB6a9C91dAA3eE818370df2CfD82) These contracts have all been veryfied on polygonscan.

Founded in 2019 by a Baddie who lacked a sense of belonging at her tech workplace, Baddies in Tech has since grown an organic community of 50K+ WOC supporting one another through our tech career journeys. Core Thesis (Mission and Vision) Throughout our three year community-building journey, we’ve had the privilege to explore first-hand 3 key problems that fuel the lack of diversity and inclusion for women of color in tech. Problem #1 Women of color make up just 4-5% of people in computing roles. Our communities have been systemically denied access to tech education and work opportunities, and are currently playing catchup to onboard into Web2. Problem #2 Only 8% of women of color say it is “easy” to thrive in the tech industry. We faced with un-inclusive and inequitable workplaces where we are often the only WOC on our teams, and bro-culture is the norm. As a result of this, almost 50% of female technologists leave the industry before the age of 30, further fueling the representation problem. Problem #3 Sharing an unspoken mission, efforts by women of color technologists (and allies) to increase representation in tech spaces are often fragmented and siloed. By working individually, we move the needle instead of moving mountains. We recognize the above as key barriers to women of color breaking into and growing careers in Web2 and Web3. We believe we can change this narrative, and our futures, by building BiTDAO - a decentralized collective of change-makers championing representation and inclusion for women of color in tech. By bringing together our ideas, networks, and resources under a DAO, we aim to increase the representation of women of color in computing roles to 10% by 2030. Mission: To help women of color break into and belong in technology Vision: To increase the representation of women of color in computing roles to 10% by 2030 What progress have we made? A Trusted Brand Baddies in Tech has built a well-known brand in the DEI in tech space with our fierce focus on amplifying the experiences and voices of women of color technologists. As a grassroots movement with culture and representation at its heart, we are trusted name amongst current and aspiring tech professionals and are well positioned to encourage mass adoption of Web3 technologies by women of color. An Inclusive Discord community We’ve built a safe space in Discord for 1.5k+ Baddies to connect and uplift one another through our tech career journeys. Built to be a welcoming and inclusive environment, our Discord server is a digital home for the Baddies in Tech community to share experiences, advice, resources and mentorship. A Mentorship Program Our mentorship program has connected a cohort of aspiring tech baddies to mentors who can help them break into tech. We’ve seen amazing engagement from the mentors and mentees, and are working to expand the program to curate mentorship matches for as many community members as possible! Online + IRL Events Baddies in Tech has curated numerous online educational, recruiting and networking events for the community over the pandemic years. Recently we held our first IRL event in Atlanta, GA at the Render ATL conference. Baddie Tea Party was a blast and we are excited to create city chapters for BiTDAO members to continue to connect IRL! Tech Educational Scholarships We’re proud to have awarded over $35k in educational scholarships to aspiring tech baddies over the years. We plan to allocate a portion of our community treasury to continue to award micro-educational grants and scholarships for women of color to gain in-demand tech skills. What’s Next? We have established a strong core team and have begun making governance decisions to lay the groundwork for our DAO membership offering. Because we are onboarding a Web2 native community into Web3, we are being intentional with keeping the “why” of BiTDAO first and foremost. We plan on launching the DAO membership to the Baddies in Tech community in January 2023 with amazing membership perks such as an open source resource database and job board, online and IRL events, curated mentorship matching, and opportunities to contribute to earn social capital in the DAO. We are still at the beginning stages of BiTDAO and would love your support during the GR15 round to raise funds to pay our core team, set up our DAO tooling/infrastructure, and create a treasury which will fund tech educational grants for women of color and other community initiatives.

The PoolyNFT campaign, launched by the PoolTogether Inc team, was a month-long initiative to raise funds for a public good; defending decentralized finance. Today, Friends of Pooly is continuing that objective with a Community powered fellowship. Together we are securing an Open Web3. Our Worldview Problem: ⚔️ Cryptocurrency, blockchain and Web3 technologies are under attack. Solution: 🛡️ Grassroots movements are emergent, antifragile and decentralized. A perfect defense in a digital world, plus an opportunity to advocate, educate and create fellowship. The answer, as always, is a coalition of people, organizations and institutions who understand the importance of protecting at all costs freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Stemming from these core values is accessibility, security, digital ownership and privacy. All of which are required to empower and equip People in a new digital world - equipping every Persons with the tools and knowledge required to find sovereignty in a new Era of Network States. We can scale global coordination with a new Internet. An Open Web3. How Friends of Pooly, stewarded by PoolTogether DAO contributors, is a project focused on advocacy, fellowship and education. Advocacy: Support for blockchain/cryptocurrency policies and laws.  Fellowship: Organizing resources and enabling Community led initiatives.   Education: Help everyone start using Cryptocurrency and Web3 technologies Stemming from the need to protect against an incoming onslaught of frivolous lawsuits, Friends of Pooly wants to proactively build a network of forward looking People, Organizations and Companies to defend against the *scum* that decides to come crawling out of the pond. PoolTogether Inc, a well-known target, is just one of many companies being attacked right now. This trend will only continue. Now is the time to prepare: organizing networks and share resources. Funds raised from the Gitcoin Grant will go towards Community Initiatives: Open Web3 Constitution Pooly Pals Adventures Cryptocurrency Policy + Causes Newsletter Coalition Building (Members,  Lawyers, Politicians, etc…) Ethereum Network State Citizenship (Verifiable Credentials) Initiatives are focused on vision alignment, building lore, adding immediate value to the conversation, growing a strong base of supporters and planting the seeds for continued growth and coordination. As we continue to strengthen our core, we expect the Pooly Community to lead more initiatives, and more funds to become available for active contributors. The Friends of Pooly Stewards are committed to creating space for others to take charge and become active leaders and do-ers in the mission to secure an Open Web3. Web3 is a do-acracy. And Pooly is the (r)evolution. Why Friends of Pooly Friends of Pooly is a small piece to a big puzzle. We want to defend DeFi and secure an Open Web3 through: Art & Culture Education & Outreach  Technology & Systems Design We believe Pooly is an embodiment of community and inclusivity. A symbol that represents both, securing an Open Web3 and a coalition of People who embody the best values of an emerging Ethereum Network State. Together we can bring to life a future worth fighting for. Our strengths will be using art and culture to power education and outreach efforts. Additionally as we begin to scale up Friends of Pooly we want to democratize access to powerful Web3 technologies i.e make crowdsourcing public goods accessible to everyone. Our Ask from the Ethereum Community We want You to join the mission to secure an Open Web3. “If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together.” Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies have entered the mainstream zeitgeist. With an intense focus from People, Organizations and Governments all over the world, it’s becoming more and more obvious *things* are happening. What exactly? We don’t know.

These limiting factors contribute to the continued marginalization of 100s of millions of people worldwide. THE SOLUTION: To tackle these problems head-on we're aiming to partner with leading research groups in the Web3 space ie. Messari, Dune Analytics, Anchain Ai, Pulsr Ai, Talent DAO and Web3 Women in Science to name a few, in order to conduct analysis of demographic, crypto earnings, reputation and referral data, within our community and the larger Web3 eco-system to: Validate the need to further onboard marginalized communities, hence, diversifying Web3. Justify all future requests for funding related to the production and dissemination of educational content and tangible resources/means of support to marginalized talent in the Web3 space. Measure the efficacy and success of our educational initiatives to ensure they are replicable. THE CURRICULUM: We've developed a comprehensive Web3 curriculum to help onboard and upskill those who might otherwise be left behind. With modules like ""the importance of the smart contract"" and ""how-to to fund your web3 project"", our video masterclass will lay out the fundamental understandings necessary to successfully operate in Web3. Beyond the video course work, through s system of bounties, we will employ the savviest Web3 educators in the space, to provide live help, in our proprietary learning platform as well. THE FOUNDER: My name is Mec Zilla and I’m a Multi-Disciplinary Artist, Design Director & Strategist who has designed and developed campaigns for brands such as Disney, Marvel, UMG, Verizon, Coca-Cola, Heineken, Vice Media, Afro-Punk, and the like, for over 20 years.  WEB3 ROLES: Web3 Consultant - Converse / Jordan / Nike Innovation Consultant - @Deadfellaz Consultant/Former Head of Community - @A0K1VERSE Education/ DE&I Consultant - @SuperchiefNFT Multi-Sig Signer - @ExpansionPunks NFT Strategy Consultant - @Explorest Graduated Fellow - @FWBtweets THE REPUTATION: Since discovering ""crypto art"" in a clubhouse room in December of 2020, I became known for my penchant for hosting the longest Web3-centric AMA rooms. Additionally, I've come to be known as ""the woman who explained NFTS to Gary Vee"" and almost 1 year later ""the marathon host"" after single-handedly running an 18hr Twitter space titled ""The Death of Opensea"" where over 30,000 users discussed building a decentralized and community-owned marketplace. BECOMING AN EDUCATOR: It was that experience that solidified my ability to help others understand the space. However, the more I learned about the space the more disheartened I became by the layers of friction I was faced with and my sheer inability to effectively connect with the community that was forming around me. After a 4 month break from all social media, I returned with a fresh perspective and focus on doing what I could to make the space as fair and equitable as possible. BECOMING AN ADVOCATE: While navigating the Web3 space as an educator and impact worker I've been invited to converse with various data science organizations including @anchain_ai, @pulsr_ai, and @TalentDAO as well as politicians such as @AndrewYang, @AarikaRhodes, @GregTanaka, @ShannonBrayNC and @DanWhitCongress. And it's thanks to these conversations that I've been able to lend my voice in support of the research that validates my efforts to diversify Web3 as well as to advocate against public policy issues like impending cryptocurrency regulations and the destruction of reproductive rights in much larger public forums. THE MISSION: After a solid year of developing curriculum and building community, it's time to start onboarding the next 10,000 non ""white guys"" to enter the Web3 space and providing the tangible support needed to upskill, place, and accelerate our community members. It is through this work that we can effectively establish ourselves as the #1 resource for diverse talent in the Web3 space and foster a more fair and equitable future. Funds received from this grant will help up with our top 5 priorities at the moment: Establishing and Incorporating the DAO and sorting tax and trademark logistics Create a census as part of our Web3 onboarding and conduct user research with our aforementioned partners Continued public speaking on education, DE&I and public policy advocacy.

Like the Olympics for Regeneration,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7488/the-regen-games-like-the-olympics-for-regeneratio,"The Olympic Games, Medieval Games, Dog & Horse races, etc... were originally designed around training those societies to prepare against their most pressing existential threats. Physical combat and direct warfare. Jousting, sword fighting, running, spear throwing, pole vaulting (e.g. spear troops jumping over short walls), rowing, war horses/dogs, etc all designed around feats of combat.   Today, our society's, indeed humanity's, existential threat is no longer just physical combat. Our threat is a global civilization (supply chains, economic systems, etc) in crises on its way towards collapse. A crises in: meaning and purpose relationship and love regeneration and thrivability etc We need to train for this transition, honing the skills that will help us succeed in co-creating a diversity of Regenerative Civilizations and Societies and demonstrating skills in unique feats of physical strength won't do it. So, what is the equivalent to today's sports-based Olympics for Regenerative Civilizations? Well, for starters these Games are 'infinite games' governed by the people who participate in them. So, the answer to the question of ""how do the Games look"" will constantly evolve and change. However, there are some principles the Games will follow: The ReGen Games exists to help us joyfully train for transition into a diversity of land-based regenerative economic systems. Learning the skills: Permaculture Natural building Wild harvesting etc Gaining the tools: Onboarding into Web3 DAOs ReFi, REcon, ReGov, New finacial and economic systems to coordinate within and design place-based economies and providing the spaces from which to co-create our new Regenerative Civilizations from. Which we do in partnership with the ""ReGen Civics Alliance"" which is a growing alliance of land-based regenerative economies. We're mixing the best parts of: Summer Camp with  Dungeons and Dragons (or The Amazing Race, whatever is most familiar) with IRL ""We-opoly”(Cooperative Monopoly) with  The ReGenerative Renaissance to co-create...    Epic multi-day Games (like the Olympics) to have a ton of fun co-learning about:   ReFi  DAOs  Permaculture, syntropic agroforestry, gardening  Conflict Evolution  Earthship Building   Wild Harvesting and Mushroom Cultivation   Cooking with wild food  Adventure skills Camping, fire starting, survival skills  Small team time-constrained coordination  Deep dialogue (with the land and each other)   and so much more! The games take place at the ReGen & ReFi DAO Campus in North Carolina: 200 acres including a lake and several ponds and you feel like you're in the center of a summer camp while being Abundance of fresh water year round Healthy and nourished soil, being a Permaculture garden (with syntropic food forests going up each spring)  Lake for daily kayaking, sailing, etc 20 minutes to the AVL (Asheville NC) airport 5 minutes to town (co-op for organic food and grocery stores, gas, etc of ""Flat Rock"" NC) We started our search in the Appalachians as this is an incredible Bioregion Avoiding many of the climate catastrophes expected (if we don't reverse course fast enough) in the US 3 seasons and food security (the land already has Gardens and space to easy scale up to meet the food needs of the Campus & Games) A center of biodiversity (most biodiverse in the US) and beauty and a potential to heal from (e.g. we can start at the source of our water to make our lake drinkable) Neighbors a *massive* city park and golf course (green surroundings) Existing infrastructure to host events, games, etc for 1000+ people (more if we expand our infrastructure) stages kitchens cafe's 10 cabins (20 with renovations) dorms camping areas amphitheater boat house etc View of approximately 1/3 of the lake at the center of the ""~200-350 acre Game Board""  Some of the many Cabins and buildings that are part of the ReGen Village Campus Grant milestones and funds use If we reach $50,000 in donations then Grant participants will be first to be notified when ticket sales go live by a full 48 hours before other channels are used. Team Tickets = those who want to be part of a 3-7 person team to run through the ""In Real Life Game Board"" earning ""Coins"" and other prizes for completing quests and overall rank. Active Crowd Tickets = those who want to participate in and watch the games from the sidelines.   All funds raised with this grant will go towards ""The ReGen Games"": regenerating and making more fertile and abundant the land as a vital diverse ecosystem. Adding more tools and resources for teams who are participating in the games (camping equipment, boats, tools, etc) - similar to the Hunger Games where participants were airdropped equipment. Donations help teams have tools to become more regenerative! and, reducing the ticket price (as the Games are not for profit) the more funds we raise the cheaper we can make the tickets for teams and attendees (With the goal of making the Games free with a merit/lottery style selection process to select teams). If this grant raises enough to make the games free and we give 48 advanced notice to Gitcoin Grant participants when Game tickets go live; it may turn out that the Games are mostly the Gitcoin community! Furthest Stretch goal: Once we've raised a total of $10M we'll buy the resort that is next to the Game Board extending out our lodging capacities and using the revenue from the resort to fund the Games; if this is still a wise move come that time. The resort would be transferred to a Trust governed by a DAO (watch the episodes on Legal for more details here) of all those who've participated in making The ReGen Games a reality. ### Our tags:  #OpenGaming We started with the idea ""how can we make co-creating IRL regenerative villages into an epic multiplayer game, so that this transition can be as fun, engaging, and purposeful as possible? We're open-sourcing the whole “ReGen Games” model so that other ReGen Villages may make Games themselves, as we have an epic time co-creating Solarpunk civilizations, ReGen Villages and more!   #DeSci We're transforming this old summer camp neighborhood into a ""ReGen Campus"" and Incubator for startup cities/towns using DAOs to co-create and experiment with regenerative economic systems. We're co-creating a learning campus and permanent ""Game Board"" (consisting of both digital tools (e.g. teaching DAOs and DHOs) and IRL “Summercamp-esque campus” - see pictures below) for experimenting with designing alternative civilizations, ReGen Economies, Startup Cities, Networked States, and more all built on top of Web3 and our decentralized global database to coordinate a global Renaissance to ReGenerate Earth.   We're open sourcing all our technology (wallets, templates, DAO builders, village templates, coordination hacks, and more) to accelerate the transition to Regenerative Cultures.   #Web3Social This is all to build the IRL campuses and villages where we can bring our web3 friendships into the real world and move out of our Discord/Zoom meetings and into the community food forests, berry patches, and natural swimming pools. #ClimateSolutions We're doing all of this to (as effectively as possible) build the foundations we need to coordinate a global ""ReGenerative Renaissance”, that's about coordinating the transition to regenerative cultures. Which we believe is mandatory to address our climate crises. ### Who we are: The ReGen Games is a part of the ReGen Civics Alliance. We're a global IRL community starting with 13+1 different ReGen projects each season 2 examples: click here to explore the others! The 10,000 ft idea is for our tribes we've been building Web3 to move to physical pieces of land together to regenerate and prototype a diversity of startup regenerative civilizations. To help us in our transition The ReGen Games acts as an incubator for ReGen Villages.   For example 1 of the 13 projects from Season 1 of ReGen Civics, after they've completed their   ""Crowdpooling"" event, where up to 144 people who have been selected to be part of their ""Minimum Viable Regenerative Economy"" will attend a 3 month ReGen Village incubator to facilitate the 144 people through a process of them co-creating the foundations for their startup society. For example helping projects create their:   economic systems  governance systems  conflict evolution protocols   teaching skills in permaculture, natural building, etc  etc    The 3 month incubator ends in the participants demonstrating their skills by putting on a   ""ReGen Games” where they take teams of 3-7 players through their “Squares” where they each put on a unique experience, quest, challenge, learning journey, for teams who play the game over a 2-3 day weekend event. Those who are part of the ReGen Village incubator run The ReGen Games for anyone to participate as a team or attend and spectate/participate in the audience (they’ll be multiple ways the audience interacts with teams).   ### Game board elements include:  The first Regen Games will be held across a ~350 acre site. Including:  a large kitchen/cafe a Community/Market Garden an Earthship home construction site  a machine/woodshop  A natural swimming pool construction site turned wrestling pit An archery and ropes course  Lake, ponds and beaver dams  Forests, food-forests, gardens, and meadows New syntropic agroforestry gardens   and many more elements      The first version of the ""ReGen Games Guide” will be released and open-sourced after the Alpha test of the game in October 2022. To give a taste of what teams might expect from the Games as they earn coins and race against the clock/other teams to: 1. 'Companion plant' some plants in the food forest (earning various amounts of coins depending on what and how plants were planted, etc)   2. Deep dialogue to address and evolve through an emotional community tension scenario (Square Master gives coins based on the teams solution, etc)   3. Send any amount of tokens to ReGen Civics DAO (Celo, Eth, SEEDS, etc) and participate in the Games governance DAO/DHO demonstrating knowledge of various economic tools.   4. DAO/Community governance scenario helping weave 2  ""competing"" ideas into a 3rd unifying idea (Square Master gives coins based on the teams solution, etc)   5. Sing a song on the spot. Be given a tune and a theme and come up with a song (scored by points for how well the song pleased the square masters' listening organs).   6. Pound N tires at the EarthShip house building site, or create N bricks for an earthen oven, etc the more your team can create in 15 min the more Coins you earn!    7. Transport you and your team to the island in the middle of the lake where you have to solve riddles to find a clue that guides you to your next square on the other side of the lake.   8.

However, in the early days of bitcoin and ethereum, many people dreamed of building user centric decentralized platform for things like uber, facebook, airbnb etc. The overarching purpose was to increase human flourishing and rek the rent seekers. These projects all failed. Honestly we didn’t understand enough about the new paradigm of crypto. We built a yellow-paper on the internet. But now we know so much more. Defi, NFT’s and DAO’s have taught us about how to build in this new paradigm by creating a series of composable building blocks. Permissionless composition one layer on top of another vs walled gardens one silo after the next. We now have the opportunity to go back to the beginning. Introducing The Floo Network The Floo Network is a building block for the future of composable work. The simple technicals: It’s an ERC721. It has infinite supply. It has a metadata standard. It is zero cost. It has 3 economic incentives ( aka bounties ). It has an allowlist, and a disallow list. That’s it. ( on purpose ) Each NFT represents a unit of work. Every stakeholder has a built in business model. It makes it easy for all people and systems to work together. How we see the future of Floo The Floo Network Roadmap Deploy v0 to low cost chains and testnets See current contract progress on github. Deploy v0 subgraphs. Improve composability of the 3 core incentives. Allow people to create things like reverse dutch auctions to incentivize expedient work. Allow for privacy in a public space via Lit Protocol.Much work is not and should not be public. Connecting access control & encryption allows more types of work to be supported. Zero Knowledge Permissions Allowlist and Disallow-list are implemented via merkle root in v0. This is inflexible. Leverage ZK tech to allow improved and more expressive permissions system that follows new standards coming out of Decentralized ID & Decentralized Reputation spaces. Improve arbitrary ERC20 Support Allow for rewards in single or multiple tokens. SDK, React-Hooks, Improve Subgraphs Build tools that make it easy for application developers to interact with the protocol on the frontend. On Not Making Money The protocol will always be free. We are big fans of the hyper-structures thesis. On Making Money The people involved in the ecosystem, and the project itself deeply believe humans making money is a good thing. We will build the companies on top of the protocol that are rewarded primarily via the 3 main incentive models of The Floo Network. Technical Architecture In More Depth We believe that Kleros ( decentralized court ) is an excellent example of the beginning of what we call “Human in the loop crypto systems” We believe that essentially all higher orders systems can be composed using a combination of the 4 core interfaces of The Floo Network smart contract: Permissions Bounty For Apps who Integrate Bounty for Completion of Work Bounty for Recruitment Important note: Unlike other NFT’s you have seen. Each NFT has its own permissions and bounties. These are not global to the contract as a normal allowlist would be. Also these NFT’s are not tradable like traditional NFT. They fall somewhere between normal and soulbound with transfer and ownership related to current state of work completion. Permissions Allow-lists and Disallow-lists Choosing who can do work, who can see work, who can’t do work, and who cant see work, is fundamental to orchestration. Example Scenario: User takes quiz on 101.xyz to prove they are fluent in Spanish and English. They are awarded an NFT. User joins DAO DAO creates work order for documentation translation and limits it to only those who hold DAO tokens and Proof of Translation Skill. Bounty for Apps who Integrate Each NFT on The Floo Network is created by a user facing application. Each app needs a business model. The app can charge a small fee per NFT created on behalf of the user. Example Scenario Company creates project management tool for DAO’s. They Charge either a flat fee in fiat ( monthly enterprise model ) or a few cents per NFT generated. ( approaches normal SaaS revenue with 1k tasks / month ) Bounty for Completion of Work Each NFT can includ a bounty for work to be done. This bounty must be deposited at time of NFT creation acting as escrow. This is a way to pay internal contribution directly, or let the open market fulfill your wishes. Example Scenario 1: You allowlist members of your company to be the only ones allowed to do and see work for your organization. You provide zero bounty on the NFT because everyone is paid salary. You leverage The Floo Network because it allows all your employees to use whatever tools they prefer because all work is now portable and interoperable. Example Scenario 2: You are an organization specializing in accounting but you like to deliver your work with slide decks going over the macro details. All of your employee’s are busy accountants so you contract a small number of people you have built a relationship with to make decks for you. You provide a bounty and an allowlist for these people to complete the work as you need it. You have a general agreement on prices before hand which is how you price you're bounties. Bounty for Recruitment Lots of modern work is facilitated through platforms. It’s how your food is delivered. It’s how we get from place to place. The recruiter bounty is a way to add an economic incentive for someone to find the person to do the work if you don’t know who it should be in advance. This creates an incentive and business model for people to build service DAO’s, labor marketplaces, and platforms on top of The Floo Network. Example Scenario: You want to throw a big party so you use an app that specializes in party planning. The app knows how to find the cake, hire a decorator, and take care of everything. Under the hood, little to your knowledge, a company that has built a platform for cake makers, makes its money by connecting that app to just the right cake maker for you by acting as the recruiter for this special skill. Cake makers are happy because they don’t need to sign up for every new platform that comes into existence. Hooks and Interfaces The main for interfaces will be constructed with lifecycle hooks that can be subscribed too before and after for side effects inspired by OpenZeppelin hooks & Lens Protocol Modules.

We are only beginning to understand how these complex, decentralized networks coordinate collective action—but we do know that they have a profound implications for the climate, enabling 5 billions tons of CO2 to flow from plants to the underground every year. By partnering with SPUN: Society for the Protection of Underground Networks, Underground DAO will collaborate with the world’s leading experts on mycorrhizal fungi pioneer alternative approaches to advancing the science of underground systems. We need to act now Three-quarters of terrestrial carbon is not stored in trees and plants, but rather underground in soil systems structured by mycorrhizal fungi. These overlooked keystone organisms have been a global blind spot in conservation and climate agendas. Understanding how these networks function—individually and collectively—and the urgent task of linking those functions to larger models of the global climate system so we can take action requires trans-disciplinary teams working in close collaboration. Empowering citizen scientists While the climate crisis is global, the science to address it requires activation at a hyperlocal level. Underground DAO will nurture and connect communities of local researchers and citizen scientists at a global scale, building on existing decentralized research programs. SPUN is already collaborating with remote sensing scientists with the common goal of mapping the global biodiversity of mycorrhizal networks. New models for collaboration In addition to scaling best practices, Underground DAO will create the conditions for emergence by enabling new peer-to-peer models for scientific collaboration. In this way, we can cultivate system-level discoveries that emerge only when research specializations interact in service of a broader mission. DAO functions Create synergies between diverse research specializations to accelerate scientific discovery Engage geographically and culturally diverse scientific communities Support independent research collaborations beyond institutional boundaries Experiment with alternative incentives for engaging researchers from under-supported regions Ensure that research gets credited appropriately Enable talent and capital sourcing Decrease the time it takes for new datasets to be made available Share responsibility and ownership of decision-making Empower local communities of citizen scientists to contribute to research Starting with the science SPUN is led by renowned evolutionary biologist Dr. Toby Kiers, and includes amongst its board members and advisors leading voices in climate action. We will work with SPUN to define Community Missions that seed self-organizing communities for maximum impact. The result of these collaborations will be made available as digital public goods. Potential focus areas for Community Missions Adaptation: How can we apply protocols and methodologies from diverse disciplines to the science of underground systems? Aggregation: How can we develop common methodologies that ensure data and insights from adjacent disciplines are compatible and can be cross-referenced? Innovation: What are the missing resources and tools that would accelerate underground science? Modeling scientific collaboration to support the mission of mitigating climate change Our funding model The funds will be divided between platform development and incentivization Introduce the SPUN community to the value of decentralized organizational structures and begin the onboarding process Build the initial platform infrastructure with a unified interface and user experience that removes much of the friction of web3 onboarding and operations; specifically, integrate DAO tooling such as identity, forum, voting, reputation, contribution, and payment into a workflow. Design and implement a coordination protocol based on co-created governance rules and voting procedures to enable scientific communities to self-organize around a scientific roadmap—as a first step to decentralization and automation. Establish guidelines and design features for research collaboration, talent sourcing, and network support. Rethinking DeSci incentive structures DeSci incentives are often in conflict with existing means of conferring legitimacy within the scientific community. For example, academic scientists may be deeply suspicious of offers of individual incentives, because the introduction of the profit motive may be perceived as compromising their commitment to advancing science for science’s sake. Such incompatible incentive structures create a vicious cycle for DeSci initiates trying to establish legitimacy because they alienate established scientists. The climate crisis provides a rare opportunity to realign priorities by adding environmental impact to the list of values the scientific community holds in common. In this way, academic science is not diminished or precluded, but alternative approaches that emphasize application and synthesis can be introduced alongside existing values. By taking a “both-and” approach to incentivizing scientific research inside and outside the boundaries of the academic science community, Underground DAO is in a unique position to explore alternative funding and coordination models. These lessons can be abstracted and applied to other academic areas seeking to decentralize in service to a common cause. The team b-theory is a climate-focused venture studio that accelerates the impact of scientific discovery.

Circonomy is a DAO platform specializing in creating & accelerating circular economic projects.  It includes a DApp — which enables circular economic projects to function and persist. The DApp includes; On-chain registration,  Quadratic/crowdfunding,  Recycle-to-earn model, Peer-2-peer marketplace ReFi activities — such as staking, liquidity provisions, and swapping. What we'll do with the funds? Launch our MVP Get our first customers/users Receive Funding Purchase Precious Plastic machinery Purchase software services to build out our MVP — the DApp Pay incorporation costs Compensate our core contributors Purchase any/all materials to help with our mission of putting the circular economy on-chain — such as IoT sensors to be attached to the Precious Plastic machinery Problem Statement What is the #1 problem facing humanity right now?  Climate change affects all life on earth - not only human beings but flora and fauna alike. What is one of the #1 contributors to climate change?  Human production/consumption of physical goods significantly contributes to climate change. Specifically, plastics, because they’re so ubiquitous but also because they’re a by-product of one of the most significant negative contributors — fossil fuels. What is the #1 problem with the status quo in light of this reality? Plastic recycling is broken. 100% of plastic is not recycled; lots of it either gets incinerated, shipped to the Global South, or thrown into landfills. Why should we address this problem?  While the everyday consumer might say — ""it’s not my problem; it’s up to the recycling industry to change"" — we believe shifting blame to others isn’t helpful.   Plastics are everywhere. Plastic waste affects all human beings regardless of socioeconomic status, demographic differences, and geopolitical allegiances. How would we address this problem?  Given the status quo, we need to: Find a more effective way to repurpose plastics because they will continue to be produced due to their entrenched nature in human society. Find a more efficient way to distribute this solution to as many people as possible. Find a more enticing way to attract more and more people to said solution and enable said solution to be as global as possible. What could we do to address this problem?  We have a more effective way to reproduce plastics — it’s called Precious Plastics. The problem is that we don’t have a very efficient and enticing way to distribute plastic pellets and attract more people to them. Precious Plastics has a community, a nonprofit umbrella organization behind it, and it is global already; however, it’s not as ubiquitous as the plastic it’s trying to recycle.  We want to build upon the great work of Precious Plastic by turning plastic into a public good so we can close the loop on the production and consumption of plastics. It’s not going to be easy, it’s a lofty goal, but we can start by bringing the Precious Plastic onto the Web3.0 train because it will help them better scale, sustain, and systematize their operations. What is Circular Economics? We are using up Earth’s finite pool of resources at an unsustainable rate, leading to climate change. Circular Economics (CE) is a new domain in economics which aims to solve this problem with sustainability at its core. Circonomy is our attempt to bring CE into the real world and leverage Web3 to bring about scalable, sustainable, and systemic change. Circular economics is an economic model in which the flow of resources in an economy is circular. In this case, plastics should be reused/recycled/upcycled until there is no more possible use case left for them. Reusing, recycling, and upcycling plastic will reduce the level of extraction and dumping of Earth's resources — giving our planet enough time to replenish its pool of resources. Hence, it is a more sustainable approach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RxBIu-cd_Y Our Solution We’ll begin by tackling the plastic waste problem because most plastics aren’t 100% recycled, and we’ll partner with Precious Plastics. Precious Plastic is a combination of people, machines, platforms, and knowledge to create an alternative global recycling system. It’s open-source machinery that people can own and recycle their plastic into pellets. Our solution will involve setting up small communities called ‘Circles’ — (sub-DAOs). These “Circles” will raise funds to invest in the Precious Plastic machinery, thereby gaining common ownership of said machinery. The machinery will then be registered as a node of our decentralized network, similar to Helium's (https://www.helium.com) behaviour. We (Circonomy) as the DAO forming the umbrella for all these “Circles” will create systems in the form of governance, group communication, and most important of all, a DApp to incentivize better the use of the Precious Plastic machinery within each “Circle”. The DApp will also facilitate a recycle-to-earn program for the individual and collective benefit. Here’s a video summarizing what Circonomy is trying to accomplish: Circonomy will issue and distribute its token: $CRCL, and will facilitate the transactions in the ecosystem. Circonomy will act as a medium to incentivize 'good recycling behaviour' for its members. Circonomy Structure SuperDAO = Circonomy DAOs = Materials, i.e. Plastic DAO for which Precious Plastic will be the primary use-case here SubDAOs = Circles AKA communities/neighbourhoods. Ideally, the Circles should be municipalities, but starting out, they’ll be neighbourhoods. Note: Token = $CRCL Terminology “Circles” = neighbourhood/community “Rounds” = crowdfunding campaigns within Circles “Ringleader” = leaders of a Circle (someone in charge of activating the Circle, someone in charge of managing/maintaining the workspaces/machinery, and maybe even a storage ringleader) thus forming the… “Circle Roundtable” = the leadership committee per Circle “Knights of the Roundtable” = the core contributors of Circonomy at-large MVP features: Circles will include: Crowdfunding for setting up Precious Plastic operations Recycle-to-Earn cryptoeconomic model — they’re recycling to earn the $CRCL token; the amount earned will depend on the following factors: Weight of Plastics Sorted vs. Unsorted Plastics and their respective categories The number of devices/machines as there will be a compounding factor Price of plastic in the traditional financial markets Where the plastic came from, however harder to track, of course, which means this won’t be a part of the MVP Note: This will be a bell-curve; however, to prevent gamification On-Chain Track & Trace of the recycling activity, thus leading to a decentralized circular economy where every Circle acts as a node. The above MVP flow shows the overall design at a glance. Still, another crucial part of the flow is the “Circle Activation,” one whereby the critical thing here to note is how we envision a future where Circles are populated with more than simply Precious Plastic per sub-DAO. To elaborate a bit further on what we mean, please see the “Register Device” step (the second one), which is about registering one or more machines/devices that enable circular economics. MVP + features: 3 primary functions of the Circonomy Dapp; Recycle-to-Earn cryptoeconomic model - they’re recycling to earn the $CRCL token. Win-Win for the individual (Circle Member) and the collective (Circle): Individuals of a circle will earn X amount of $CRCL per recycling activity, but the Circle will earn X amount of $CRCL per sale of the plastic pellets. Individuals earn $CRCL from the Circle itself because the pellets become collectively owned after they’re generated. Members may donate to/support the Circle Ringleaders may create “Missions” - a recycling challenge, i.e. “recycle X amount of Y before the end of the month” On-Chain Track & Trace of the recycling activity AKA this will be a decentralized recycling network where every Circle acts as a node Circommerce = P2P marketplace “Engage Circonomy” = DeFi component - staking, LPing, etc. User Journey User arrives at the DApp User can select a DAO to participate in - “Plastics DAO” User is then required to either activate (not create/start/setup) a SubDAO/Circle or join a Circle If the User “activates” a Circle, then there is no active plastic recycling operation happening at that local level — AKA, no existing PP operation happening there.  Therefore, we’ll allow the user to crowdfund for the Precious Plastic machinery to be set up in that Circle.  It could cost about $4-to-5,000 USD to purchase the machinery parts, but there are costs for other things like electricity, storage, legal fees (perhaps), etc., for which these are most likely recurring fees. If the User “joins” a Circle, then there’s already an active PP operation, which means the User can participate in the Recycle-to-Earn program there. Once plastics are recycled in these Circles, activity will be tracked on-chain to ensure provenance and transparent accounting for such activity Plastic Pellets can be sold to other individuals who may have an Etsy/Shopify/Amazon store within the Circle or outside of it. Or, these pellets may be sold to corporations involved in producing toys, furniture, packaging, home appliances, beauty, etc. Circle Members can also participate in DeFi activities with $CRCL  Outside of this, they can participate in our governance. Ideally - we’d like for them to be able to vote on and discuss issues like how to grow the Circle into the whole city eventually. The cryptoeconomics will also include the sale of 'Plastic Credits' — a plastic offsetting aspect for the Plastic DAO.  Eventually, there will be other DAOs for materials such as Metals, Clothing/Textiles, Food, etc. In summary, Circonomy will be undertaking the following activities: Sales of Plastic Credits Precious Plastic machinery will be registered as nodes of our network Since the recycled plastic will be recorded on-chain, which is an immutable record, it can be sold to corporations as plastic credits — used as a method of offsetting carbon emissions Distribute the gains to Circles in the form of tokens via our recycle-to-earn model Marketplace for recycled goods & services Circle members can sell their goods/services on the marketplace to make financial gains from their sales Potential buyers at the marketplace can be: 3D printing companies, furniture companies, members from other Circles, etc These goods/services must be made from or created using the recycled plastics each Circle generates. An example of a service could be someone selling homemade cooking wherein the cutlery/containers etc, can be made from recycled plastic pellets in the Circle. DeFi Activities Buying/Selling Swapping Staking + Staking Pools Liquidity Provision (not MVP) Farming (not MVP) In the future, we will expand our operations to other resources like food, clothing, metals, etc. Market Strategy Three possible routes can either occur in series or in-parallel, or a mix of the two: The first route would be to partner with / acquire Precious Plastic or “One Army Earth” as our first customer, given that they’re also trying to build a DAO for themselves and pilot with existing users and have them be our initial users. The second would be to dogfood this by purchasing the Precious Plastic machinery and registering that as our first node of the Circonomy DAO The third route would be to pivot our MVP to something that can be all-inclusive for the entire Celo ecosystem - a mix of Sapien.Network + https://www.kolektivo.co/ for Celo. Project Stage and Current Traction Early-stage bootstrapping right now. We started in the KERNEL Fellowship and graduated from them We got invited to attend EthBarcelona We got accepted into Sapien Network - https://www.sapien.network/ We are hoping for CeloCamp to help us go from 0 to 1 Finally How will this directly contribute to greenhouse gas reductions or facilitate climate solutions? We aim to increase the amount of circular economic projects worldwide — starting with Precious Plastic. We want to move the needle from the 8% recycled plastics to a much higher number. A higher level of recycling is achievable by enabling, empowering, and encouraging more neighbourhoods to set up Precious Plastic Operations with our Recycle-2-Earn Cryptoeconomic Model. Lastly, we aim to expand to recycling other waste materials such as Textiles + Food + Electronics and partnering with companies such as Pela Earth + Volterra. This will allow us to get closer to our goal of reducing greenhouse gasses insofar as ensuring that circular economics is enshrined in our society.

Our work ensures such legislation solves real problems without restricting privacy, practicality, or decentralization. Funds raised will directly benefit these efforts by incentivizing wider participation and supporting community education and advocacy, allowing us to more effectively crowdsource our policy recommendations. Watch this 90-second video to learn more about us. Background For several months, our volunteers have been working with the state’s Work Group on Blockchain Matters to inform on DAO legal frameworks and how they might be improved. On August 19th, we were formally invited to testify at the Capitol about this issue (twitter summary, full video, full written testimony). We have since been asked to provide more comprehensive recommendations and to participate in the drafting of legislation, which requires substantial research, strategy, coordination, and time.  As an impact DAO, our primary goal is not monetization, but contribution to public goods. As such, community involvement and creative funding mechanisms are critical for us to operate effectively. Funds raised by this grant will go towards sponsoring these efforts and creating paid opportunities for a more representative group of Austin’s Web3 community to contribute, allowing us to maintain a higher level of engagement and expertise. This will also include education and grass roots advocacy, which will support and inform our work with state government. It is critical that Web3 native DAO contributors with on-the-ground experience participate in this legislative process, and our ability to make this happen represents an incredible opportunity. ATX DAO’s continued work in this important area ensures that any legislation passed in Texas will solve real problems for DAOs while protecting decentralization, privacy, practicality, and the autonomy of members. About Us ATX DAO is an impact DAO working to unite Austin's crypto communities, enable artists and local businesses to participate in the crypto ecosystem, and educate the government about the benefits of Web3. As a democratic network of developers, artists, and crypto professionals, the DAO provides expertise to local and state government, organizes social events to onboard new web3 users, and helps the best minds in blockchain connect, coordinate, and collaborate in service of public goods. Since the beginning of the year, ATX DAO volunteers have been extremely active in local politics. In January, we hosted a networking event for our members and local legislators to encourage dialogue and build connections between Austin’s Web3 and political communities. In March, multiple members worked together to deliver oral and written testimony to Austin’s city council, providing crucial advice on whether to adopt a “city coin”, similar to Miami. This 17-page fact finding study demonstrated our ability to distill complicated information such as tokenomics, smart contract scripting languages, and token utility in clear language that was accessible to policy makers and government officials. Through this testimony, we received interest from policy makers to continue and expand the dialogue around web3 policy.  Following successful development of DAO legal frameworks in Texas, we will continue on to other key issues such as stablecoin regulation, data privacy, and matters of securitization, based on input from the community and policy makers.

To realize that vision, we formed The Wildlife Movement Institute, a nonprofit organization to be a hub for this community for local, regional, and international collaborations – whether you are an expert or someone passionate about wildlife and technology. Problems Addressed and Why This Matters The overarching theme of this community is a synthesis of movement ecology and tracking technology. As movement is essential for everything an animal does in its lifetime, understanding animal movement helps us understand how individuals select habitats, life history traits, and residence patterns. This information can provide information necessary to improve species protection under anthropogenic threats, from climate change to human encroachment. Climate change is more pressing now than ever. Understanding how native and non-native wildlife respond to climate change is critical to their management and conservation. Status Quo and How We Plan to Change That Although radio telemetry has been used to monitor animal movements since the mid-1960s, it was not until the invention of GPS loggers that truly detailed observations of individual movements became possible. However, commercial, proprietary animal tracking systems are expensive and often out of reach for researchers. The number of trackers that can be purchased is too low to gain robust information, thus stifling innovation and vital information to inform species management. The growing trend of using microcontrollers to design tracking units is undoubtedly a revolutionary movement in wildlife movement ecology. Technology does not care what animal it tracks, so long as it does not impede mobility when attached. Despite the growing community of tracking biologists creating a higher demand for movement data, there is not a community dedicated to supporting the development of accurate, affordable, open-source trackers and related software and methods. We plan to decentralize the development and manufacturing of animal tracking devices which are integral to the success of our community, leveraging DeSci and other Web 3.0 tools. These tools will support developing a well-governed, decentralized community and document published workflows to replicate and easily build upon prior work. Ned is a DeSci Labs beta tester for DeSci Nodes and is actively engaging with a number of DeSci projects to learn how best to apply and participate in the development of those tools to realize our vision. What we want to accomplish Our primary goal is to build a community to support the open-source development and application of animal tracking software, hardware, and methods to economically and ethically track animal movements. Some initial ideas toward reaching that goal include: Leveraging tools being developed as part of the decentralized science (DeSci) movement to fund, publish, organize, and equitably acknowledge and reward the work and accomplishments of individuals to learn from prior successes and failures more efficiently and effectively, Implementing existing hardware to the extent practical and designing new hardware when sensible for reliable trackers suitable for a broad range of taxa, Developing software to facilitate customizing movement recording protocols and real-time tracking, Generating and distributing funding to support work done by community members, and Promoting scientific literacy with the public through the community as an outreach platform through visualization of animal movement data and open-source content for biologging development. Why we need help Although The Wildlife Movement Institute was created over a year ago, the progress toward creating a community has been slow. Funds raised through this grant round will be used to finalize the legal requirements required to gain 501c3 status and accomplish a number of tasks largely by offering bounties. Some tasks and anticipated near-term budget expenditures include: Upgrading our web platform to organize and sustain a community Migrating and managing the existing GitHub site to a Wildlife Movement Institute GitHub site Covering costs for the development and production of a new board for tracking small to medium-sized animals Providing funding for bounties to support website development and create documentation related to building, programming, and deploying animal trackers An Unexpected Journey: How We Got Here The journey leading up to this grant proposal started in 2019 when Lam Ngo, a student at Sewanee The University of the South, contacted Ned Horning about different options for tracking Diamondback Terrapins, a mostly aquatic turtle living along coastal areas. Based on Ned’s background with GPS and GNSS technology, and after some tinkering, a small DIY proof of concept tracker that provided tracking information in real-time was created, costing less than a fraction of a proprietary tracker using cutting-edge Long-Range (LoRa) technology and Long-Range Wireless Access Network (LoRaWAN) protocol in tandem with The Internet of Things (IoT). In 2020 Ned created the Terrapin Tracker project, which was a finalist for the Con X Tech Prize managed by Conservation X Labs, and he was able to form a small team to refine the trackers and related software. Linked by a common study organism, the diamondback terrapin, Jason Alstad reached out and suggested the creation of an organization to support open-source support for animal tracking. In the spring and summer of 2021, the first prototype trackers were tested in the field in South Carolina and Georgia. Unfortunately, the trackers did not perform as well as expected due to the animal’s behavior, and the process of learning from our mistakes began. In the Spring of 2022, we implemented the next generation of trackers on Blandings Turtles, a semi-aquatic turtle in the Hudson Valley of New York. Through this collaborative work with The Wetland Trust, we met Adam Parlin, a post-doc at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Adam had previously worked with tracking technology on turtles, from electrocardiogram and GPS in free-living individuals. He has been working on applying those techniques to studying squirrel movements based on some of his tracker designs this fall.

Alternatively, I'll read it to you, with commentary: https://youtu.be/RARKiBnN3us Option is the fruit of seven years of work to design an economic system that can price externalities. Funding from this grant will be used to employ a research lab in characterizing the behavior of Option via direct proof and simulation. In particular, the research lab will focus on the subproblem of judicial selection. If you’re interested in this project, you might also like to support Digital Gaia’s Grant (disclaimer, Connor is a team member there, too). Digital Gaia is also working on a credible way to price externalities, starting with climate externalities. We need as many people working on this problem as possible. What's Option? Option is a prediction market for governance. Communities that use Option enjoy an environment where it’s profitable for companies to do what’s considered good by the community. Why use Option? For consumers: It's easy to choose products that are aligned with personal values and beliefs It's easy to express personal values in a way that will change companies' behavior For companies and entrepreneurs: It's easy to identify which socially responsible action would be beneficial to take It's easy to earn revenue for social goods that would otherwise require grants to support For journalists and researchers: It's easy to be a high integrity researcher or journalist It's easy to find funding for exploring the most important open questions For citizens: It's easy to influence policy in an area of interest It's easy to ignore politics without bad things happening For communities: It's easy to find and form communities of shared values It's easy to make collective choices How does Option work? Prediction Markets for Policy Setting Option is a prediction market for governance. Prediction markets have long been considered an effective way for groups to make more accurate collective inferences. The basic way a traditional prediction market works is simple: Anyone can create a market. Like, “It will rain on Thursday.” Then other people can bet on the outcome. If the market maker says it rained then the people that bet YES get paid, otherwise the people that bet NO get paid. Due to the value of accurate predictions, many prediction market platforms have sprung up such as Augur, Metaculus, Manifold Markets, among many others. Each of these platforms are excellent at aggregating information and incenting accurate predictions, however, they cannot be used for governance. This is because traditional prediction markets suffer from three shortcomings that prevent their usage as governance tools: Moral Hazard — The ability to bet on a particular outcome can create bad incentives. For example, In 2021 a man bet $50,000 that there would be a streaker at the Super Bowl, then he put on a leotard and became that streaker. Hidden Information — Since earning money is dependent on having special knowledge, betting markets incent proprietary information and insider trading Policy Impotence — Even if a market offers a very accurate prediction, there’s nothing to ensure policymakers will listen to it or interpret it correctly. Option circumvents these shortcomings by taking away the opportunity for upside from an accurate trade. In Option, it’s free to be right and expensive to be wrong. This counterintuitive choice allows Option to redress the shortcomings of prediction markets for use in governance. For example, this design choice solves certain kinds of Moral Hazard: if the man in the leotard had known the best that could happen is he wouldn’t lose $50,000 he never would have put on the leotard in the first place. Option automatically sets its policies based on the predictions of the market. So, when a player bets they don’t expect to be paid for accurate bets, instead, Option players make bets in exchange for shifting the market prediction, and therefore shifting policy. This solves Policy Impotence: predictions in the market directly set policy. Since Option doesn’t have to pay out for accurate bets, it can instead use that money to pay for information that lead to resolution of the prediction. Standing “resolution bounties” indicate the most high value places where a player can provide information. This solves Hidden Information: players are paid for information. The details of the mechanisms that power Option are beyond the scope of this grant (if you’re interested you’ll find links at the end). However, it’s worth being familiar with the two general mechanism sets Option uses: the Claim Market the Semantic Market The Claim Market’s job is to encode beliefs as currency. It gives us: Sincere signaling of belief and values Bribe resistant currency Targeted funding for research and journalism Negative money that’s not debt The Semantic Market’s job is to instantiate the game for collective inference and policy setting. It relies heavily on the guarantees of the Claim Market. It gives us: A surface to interlock claims (enabling conditional predictions) Increased influence on more testable predictions A way to select unbiased judges for each prediction Game theoretic policy setting Setting Policy Let’s look at a specific example of where regulation was used to try to solve a problem, and how it would have looked different had Option been used. Note that this doesn’t try to tell you why this happens, just describes the behavior. In 2013 New York City proposed a ban on sugary drinks larger than 16 fluid ounces. The argument by the Board of Health was that the limit would improve public health and make it easier for people to reduce their caloric intake. The argument against this ban was that it would be legal overreach, and it violated the personal autonomy of consumers. Had New York City citizens been able to use Option, those who wanted to avoid unhealthy drinks would have experienced an increased price for the drinks (akin to a tax) dissuading them from purchasing. In exchange for this tax, Option's prediction that avoiding sugary drinks improves health outcomes would lower the effective healthcare costs of those that opted in to the tax. As a second order effect of this system, soft drink providers like PepsiCo or CocaCola would find aggregate demand drop for the goods predicted to be unhealthy, incenting them to reduce the health implications of their products. In this way, Option maintains individual autonomy while localizing individual responsibility; using markets and preferences instead of legislative bodies. Externalities But, what about situations where members of a community are harmed by the actions of a company that they don't buy from? For example, what if a mining operation leaches toxins into a nearby river, which harms a biodiverse ecosystem and degrades the health of locals? If those locals don't purchase products made from the mined minerals they cannot exert influence by boycotting the goods, so it would seem they don’t have market-based ability to minimize the pollution. Those familiar with economics will recognize that this is a classic example of a negative externality, a “bad” thing that doesn't have a cost associated with it. In this case, the locals and the ecosystem are harmed but the mining operation doesn't pay for that, so they enjoy artificially high profits. The mining company has socialized costs while privatizing gains. The Shortcomings of Regulation One option to solve this problem is regulation. For example, the local government could say, ""No more than 0.010 parts per million of arsenic in the water, otherwise we'll fine you 1 million dollars."" However, regulation has some well known problems: Regulation is often slow to respond — markets outpace and outmaneuver the regulators Regulation is often imprecise — it over or under regulates, stifling innovation or permitting great harm Regulation is often non-dynamic — it doesn't update with new knowledge Regulators can become ""captured"" — the entities they should regulate find ways to influence the decision in their favor Coasian Bargaining Economic theory offers a clever alternative to regulation called, ""Coasian Bargaining"". The idea is named after Ronald Coase who won the Nobel Prize in Economics for this and related ideas. What would Coase recommend to these people whose river is being polluted? Unfortunately, his recommendation is very unpalatable to most people. He would tell them to pay the mining operation to pollute less. The mining operation could agree to implement policies to reduce their pollution in exchange for the community paying them to offset the costs of implementing the policies. However, Coasian Bargaining has proven rarely useful in practice. Even apart from the fact that it feels bad to pay people who pollute, and that it could create a net incentive to pollute more so as to be paid to do less of it, there are more fundamental issues: How can the community know how much it actually costs to reduce pollution? How will the community verify that the company is implementing the policies effectively? How do future generations pay for the benefit of a healthy ecosystem and community? For example, what if the community is willing to pay 2 million dollars to reduce pollution by 50%, but: The mining company says, ""It costs us 5 million dollars to reduce pollution by 50%"" when it really only costs them $2 million. It costs 2 million dollars a year to run the water quality tests which confirm the company is complying. Future generations, when asked, say that looking back they would have been willing to pay $50 million for a healthy community and ecosystem, not just $2 million. Now you can see why Coasian Bargaining is of limited application, it only works where: There's no hidden information about costs. It's easy and cheap to validate performance. The people who are affected are able to pay. Option's Coasian Bargaining How does Option get around this? Option still uses a form of Coasian Bargaining, but rather than pay the mining company to pollute less, Option allows the local community to put negative valued money into the mining operation’s digital wallet. This forces the mining company to negotiate with the community. In exchange for this ability, the local community makes predictions (which they stake) that the mining operation can dispute. For example, they might say: “It only costs 1 million dollars to reduce pollution by 50%” “Every year, the mining company leaches 500,000 liters of pollution into the river” “Future generations, when asked, will be willing to pay $100 million for the healthier community and ecosystem they enjoy thanks to the reduction in pollution” Based on the expected future cost predicted by the local community, Option places a certain amount of negative money into the account of the mining operation. But what happens if the local community overestimated the size of the future cost? In that case, the mining company can respond with their own predictions, making lower predictions (which they also stake) about the costs of their behavior. For example: “It costs us 3 million dollars to reduce pollution by 50%” “Every year, we only leach 100,000 liters of pollution into the river” “Future generations, when asked, will be willing to pay $10 million for the healthier community and ecosystem they enjoy thanks to the reduction in pollution” By taking this action, the mining company reduces the amount of negative money Option places in their account. However, this isn't the end of the story. Now all the money that was bet by the mining company and the local community come into play. That money becomes a bounty which can be paid to researchers and journalists for helping to refine the accuracy of the predictions. Disverifier Selection How do these journalists and researchers get selected and paid? That's one question this grant will fund. The funds earned from this grant will go toward exploring the exact mechanism for how to select informed, unbiased, and sincere researchers and journalists (or ""disverifiers"" in Option's parlance). There are three reasons to think this is a tractable problem: Option offers a natural way to identify bias — a measure of ideological “distance”. Sincerity and accuracy can be well incented by staking mechanisms. Iterative deepening of predictions is a mechanism for incenting precise and resolvable predictions. Furthermore, this work is worth funding even if optimal disverifier selection proves impossible. It may be possible that the worst case performance of Option is still marginally better than some existing governance process. For example, we might imagine that Option fails to live up to the standards of the real-world legal system, but offers efficiencies for use in: Governance of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations Open science modeling, e.g. in regenerative agriculture Governance of content moderation on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter or their web3 alternatives Replacing bespoke web3 incentive models with API calls to Option, e.g. Sybil resistance for Gitcoin, or decentralized Yelp where each reviewer makes the claim, ""This review was left by a real customer who was not paid."" DAO certification and open source software funding via predictions like, “This project has no vulnerabilities.” Which simultaneously offers information about the confidence of the developers, while providing bounties for red teaming. Use of Funds This grant will fund three primary activities performed by the Decision Science and Control (DeSCon) lab of Dr. Philip Brown (or his students, depending on the complexity of universities ∪ crypto ): Prove game theoretic properties about the model (or simplified versions) Implement the model in-silico and characterize its behaviors (Stretch Goal) Implement Option as an interactive game Questions worth exploring: What's the Byzantine Fault Tolerance of the inference model? Can we characterize capacity for information aggregation? How do wealth effects (e.g. high income inequality) affect system behavior? How quickly can a poorly funded accurate predictor overcome a well funded inaccurate incumbent? Can Option be framed as a version of a known game for easier analysis, e.g. Beauty Contests? What happens if we allow pricing of positive externalities? Does that introduce risks of collusion? Is Option capture-proof? How well does Option handle the more general problem of Moral Hazard: companies paying to retain policies that are profitable. In what ways might this be exploited to leak private information (e.g. private values and beliefs or transaction history)? Can modifications avoid that? Can cognitive biases distort the game theoretic prediction, e.g. paying someone in a dubious claim induces sunk cost bias and doubling down. What are the expected psychosocial externalities of using Option? Cf. Twitter and Facebook’s tendency to incite outrage. Look at personas like: intrustors, citizens, disverifiers, Given that Option creates funding as a function of disagreement, does this create a meta incentive for disverifiers to stoke disagreement? How does the magnitude of this incentive compare with the existing disagreement incentive of an elected government? This is an incredibly high level overview of Option and its purpose. If you would like to learn more about the details of the mechanisms that underpin Option, here are some good places to start: Claim Market Prototype (link) This is a toy implementation of the Claim Market, the token layer of Option. Semantic Market Deck (link) This deck overviews the mechanisms of the Semantic Market, the inference layer of Option. Adoption Plausibility Finally, it's worth addressing the most common objection to Option: if Option makes it more expensive to purchase goods and less profitable to sell goods, and it opens companies up to an additional form of liability, how will it ever get adopted? For companies, Option fills the same niche as LEED certifications, Better Business Bureau grades, Corporate Social Responsibility teams, and Fair Trade and Organic product labels. For companies that are sincere in their claims, Option creates a measurable surface upon which to demonstrate that sincerity. A company that practices ethical manufacturing will accept Option's currency and stake predictions on Option in order to differentiate themselves from competitors that only purport to practice ethical manufacturing. Some consumers will reject transacting in non-Option currencies just as some people today refuse to purchase non-Fair Trade goods. Other consumers will transact in Option simply because it can save them money on certain products, e.g. the health insurance savings thanks to the voluntary tax on soda. Finally, for regulators and lawmakers Option provides new mechanics for making regulations that are responsive to the research community. In the long run, communities, nations, and planets with better foresight and a better ability to avoid negative externalities will outlast those that don't.",2022-09-03T20:18:11.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7497,True,True,0x632Fd6D5E53A8661e751a964c9d7c9aa63Ecaa5A,Defi Biolabs is engineering cyanobacteria to produce scalable feed supplement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in cattle.,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7497/defi-biolabs-is-engineering-cyanobacteria-to-prod,"Defi Biolabs is engineering cyanobacteria to produce a cheap, scalable feed supplement to reduce  greenhouse gas emissions  in the dairy and beef industry. The Problem  The planet is warming up and human agriculture is playing a large part in carbon dioxide  and methane emissions. Production of beef and dairy products play a large part in greenhouse gas emissions with one cow being able to produce 100 kilograms of methane per year.  Livestock are responsible for ~14% of global greenhouse gas emissions per year.  Current technologies are unable to meet demand Asparagopsis taxiformis, a type of edible red seaweed, has been shown to reduce the methane emissions 85% under real farm conditions  in cattle when included at  0.3% of the animals’ dry matter intake (Roque 2021). Multiple companies are building farms to grow this red seaweed as a food additive and digestive aid in order to reduce the methane emissions in cattle. The facilities needed to grow  red seaweed require thousands of acres of ocean front land to produce the final product at a cost of ~$10.0 USD per kg.  The current bottleneck is being able to grow enough of this seaweed to use as a food additive for the cattle.  Our Solution  Our goal is to drastically reduce the cost and land resources necessary  to produce a food additive that can reduce methane emissions in cattle.  Recent advances in aquaculture  have made it economically feasible and sustainable, allowing for a dollar cost average of $0.80 per Kg algae produced. Combining recent advancements in aquaculture  with  modern synthetic biology platforms, we look to circumvent the land and resources essential to farming red seaweed by engineering edible cyanobacteria that produce the secondary metabolites known to inhibit methane production in cattle rumen.    Companies such as Lumen Bioscience are using  engineered spirulina to produce a dried biomass which can  deliver therapeutic payloads to treat bacterial infections. Our goal is to deliver an edible biomass containing methanogenic inhibitors to the rumen of cattle in order to reduce methane emissions.    Who we are:   Defi Biolabs is an LLC in the state of Wisconsin  composed of  a group of recent PhD graduates from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. We are looking to develop carbon removal  technology using cyanobacteria. Defi Biolabs is a registered team competing in the X-prize for carbon removal looking to meet the goal of removing  1000 tonnes of CO2 per year.    Where we are now   We recently finished building our lab and have assembled our first genome as a candidate for bioengineering.    Our next goal is to begin cloning biosynthetic gene clusters from the red seaweed into our cyanobacteria and look for expression of those proteins and secondary metabolites.  From there we will look to optimize growth conditions and maximize the production of the secondary metabolites of interest.      What will the money we raise go towards?     $0-2000 Will pay for 1-2 months of reagents, chemicals and media  necessary to perform molecular and microbiology experiments.   $2,000-10,000 Will allow for us to buy the remaining equipment we need to finish the essential equipment for our lab including purchasing an ultra low temp freezer,  nanopore sequencer for long read genome sequencing and a spectrophotometer.   $10,000-50,000 This will provide us with a 6 month-1 year  runway to perform experiments  and cover the cost of reagents.    $50,000-$100,000 This will provide a runway for a year to perform all experiments necessary and provide an opportunity for defi biolabs to engineer our strains.     $100,000+  Means I can quit my day job and work on this project full time. This will grant us an opportunity to establish our product and look to receive seed funding  and work together with the ginkgo bioworks synthetic biology platform to bioengineer cyanobacteria to meet our needs.        About the founders:    I completed a PhD in genetics in 2021 from the University of Wisconsin Madison and have over 10 years of experience working with bacteria. I have an  extensive background  in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and microbiology.  My thesis work  focused on bacterial physiology and how bacteria adapt to changes in nutrient availability and I am always excited to talk about biotechnology and microbiology.  I am currently working together with my partner who is an experienced bioinformatician and microbial ecologist.   Together we are looking to bring our skills as an experienced  microbiology and bioinformatics expert to the forefront of synthetic biology and algae culture.   Feel free to reach out to us on twitter or our website.    References:   Smith PM, Bustamante H, Ahammad H, Clark H, Dong EA, Elsiddig H, Haberl R, Harper J, House M, Jafari O, Masera C, Mbow NH, Ravindranath CW, Rice C, Robledo Abad A, Romanovskaya F, Sperling F, Tubiello F.

Conducting decentralized science experiments to measure the water structuring device’s efficacy in improving crop yields, reducing water usage and accelerating natural carbon sequestration. What is water structuring? Water structuring is a term to describe the process of organizing water molecules into a more coherent state. Water from a stream or spring becomes structured as it spirals along its natural path. We all know the difference between drinking vibrantly alive water compared to water that has been sitting in a pipe and plants know the difference too. A finely tuned water structuring device emulates the natural flow of water to optimize its life giving effect on humans and plants alike. The Problem  Several water structuring devices are currently available and have demonstrated promising results in agriculture, but the technology hasn’t crossed over yet as a major regenerative agriculture solution. Available water structuring devices used in agriculture today are closed source, relatively expensive, not well known, not well distributed and do not have high legitimacy. (Vitalik outlines legitimacy well here: https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/03/23/legitimacy.html) The Solution We intend to design an effective, low-cost and open-source water structuring device and create legitimacy for that device through thoughtfully conducted decentralized science experiments. We hope to collaborate with ImpactDAOs and MRV (Measurement, Reporting and Verification) efforts to offer regenerative farmers a low-risk, low-maintenance and potentially high reward solution to their farms. We believe water structuring is a key agricultural solution with the potential to significantly accelerate natural carbon sequestration while reducing water requirements and significantly bolstering yields for regenerative farmers. We believe that through building open-source tools and collaborating with ImpactDAOs we can positively impact farms of all sizes around the globe.

Comenzando con un espacio de twitter al que vamos a invitar a los proyectos de LATAM que participaron en esta ronda de Gitcoin. 🎯 También vamos a llegar a científicos de Argentina para encontrar proyectos impulsados ​​por el impacto que necesiten financiación y darles visualización y medios para alcanzar su objetivo. 🌐 Y en las redes sociales vamos a compartir contenido de valor sobre Ciencia Descentralizada: las noticias más relevantes sobre el ecosistema, reflexiones, búsquedas de empleo, becas, artículos curados, etc. Además de espacios recurrentes para nivelar conocimientos, oportunidades y co-crear el futuro del movimiento DeSci en comunidad. 🦋 Twitter: https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM 🦋 Discord: https://discord.gg/keWmJMAVVz 🦋 Telegram: https://t.me/DeSciLATAM ",2022-09-03T21:21:04.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7500,True,True,0x3041D94f612A84cc82c136c3ebcA5417b185b2e3,"Support MoveDAO, the best way for ordinary people to participate in the Move ecosystem",https://gitcoin.co/grants/7500/support-movedao-the-best-way-for-ordinary-people-," MoveDAO is committed to building the largest community in the Move language ecosystem. Let ordinary people have more opportunities to participate in Move's blockchain ecosystem. At present, the new blockchains of Move language represented by Aptos and Sui are developing rapidly, and the financing amount has reached a new high under the overall market downturn, and the consensus that the new blockchains based on Move language will become the next bull market leader is getting stronger and stronger. The new blockchain represented by Aptos also opens a new model of capital public chain, and the opportunity for ordinary people to participate is getting less and less.. MoveDAO provides a new model of participation in the Move ecosystem, and through the power of the community, MoveDAO will provide continuous support to the Move ecosystem through education, talent training, project promotion and project incubation, and gain knowledge, opportunities and economic returns from them, most of which will be distributed to the members of the DAOs. Currently, MoveDAOs community has more than 120 members, including senior developers from Amazon, Ali, Tencent and other major companies, as well as resident representatives of capitalists. The project currently has an education group, an ecosystem research tracking group, and a promotion group operating independently. A lot of document translation work has been done, while more high-quality projects are on the way to launch. Fundraising plan： If the total amount of funds raised, 1~100,000U will be raised for the promotion and growth of the organization, mainly for community promotion activities and the output of Move education courses. The community is currently in a better upswing, and with the funding boost, we will be able to hold more quality Space events and rapidly expand the community's influence. In addition to educational and research expenses for the promotion and Move language, the rest of the funds will be used to reward outstanding proposals and to make early investments in Move eco-projects. The proceeds from the investment will be returned to the community and investors. If the total amount of funds raised, 100,000~1,000,000U In addition to the necessary team expenses, the funds will be mainly used for Move language ecosystem, professional talent training output, and providing ecosystem support services, cultivating 1~5 direct ecosystem projects, and establishing sufficient ecosystem influence. If the total amount of fundraising is higher than 1 million U We will set up an incubation fund jointly with project parties and capitalists, rely on MoveDAO's resource advantage in Move ecosystem and information advantage, and invest in excellent projects in Move ecosystem. At the same time, we will develop professional services such as technical services and talent training, and obtain returns from these aspects. We promise that the use of all donated funds will be regularly publicized and supervised by donors.

It is a decentralized platform and network that enables investors and communities to create Web3-native investing DAOs. It also provides infrastructure and tools for investing DAOs to socially network, invest in real world and maintain compliance. It is a great way for friends or funds to form investing DAOs to invest in crypto startups, NFTs, DeFi and other crypto-native assets. However, the complexity of launching and running an investing DAO, particularly compliantly, can be overwhelming even to experienced crypto users. Minidomn makes it easy to channel money into a multi-sig and invest with your network. Since everything is on-chain, distributions happen automatically via smart contracts. Meanwhile, Minidomn also limits the personal liability of investment DAO members by giving DAOs the option to compliantly connect to LLCs and other real physical capabilities.

It allows individuals and organization to send badges to each other, generating a new kind of social graph based on badges instead of ""follow"" relations. The new badge-based social network lays the foundation for unleashing the potential of social capital. Also, it creates a visualizing tool for understanding how decentralized societies are structured and then allows anyone to quickly establish a community using programmable badge systems designed by other successful communities. Past and Next For the past half year, a team of 7 part-time contributors developed a demo app and showcase it for the first time during the biggest Web3 conference in Dali, China this August. The dApp now has the basic features of sending, receiving and displaying the badges. Next, we are plan to share with a much greater community at Devcon about how Social Layer can help create unique and memorable person-2-person connections using SBT, apart from everyone receiving the exact same POAP. For next year, one of our two priorities is to display the unique social graph for everyone. Based on the issuance and reception of badges, users can see straightaway how he is connected by badges with people at two or more degrees of separation, that is, how anyone in a big conference like Devcon is related to him. The other priority is to diversify badge modules so as to allow users to combine the suitable ones to meet their needs to record different types of information, such as witness, roles, skills, achievements and tickets, to fit various contexts like DAO, creator platforms and philanthropic sector.

For everyday fundraisers, individuals, charities, and startups.   Web3 FundMe is offering our latest fundraising concept as part of our grant application and we need your help!   Blockchain technology, real estate, business launchpads, and investments are common themes on popular decentralized crowdfunding sites.   As these platforms are filling a gap within the web3 space, they are not focused on everyday fundraisers.   ENS is one of the most powerful namespaces we have at our disposal, and we've already established an organization building a censorship-resistant immutable decentralized crowdfunding platform with low fees (plus transaction expenses) and on-demand withdrawals. Users will be able to donate using subdomains of the main ENS domain, web3fundme.eth, while accepting a variety of cryptocurrencies.   Fundraisers will have the option to reward their contributors with NFTs in exchange for their donations.   ENS can be complicated to set up and not every user will understand how to work with it. We plan to utilize the platform to simplify crowdfunds for new users to the blockchain and help them get started by opening and connecting a wallet and depositing funds directly while utilizing ENS and its subdomains.   Importantly, the Web3 FundMe platform will provide opportunities to market ENS as a whole and to future fundraisers and contributors from all over the world. A strong emphasis will be placed on crowdsourcing to onboard both Solidity and Full-Stack developers, digital artists, and social media content creators.

Create and exchange value with 0% fees. Otomee is an open, peer-to-peer, decentralized and censorship-resistant Hub where communities can create highly customizable experiences for their members, generating utility and a greater sense of belonging. Otomee also features a built-in marketplace where communities decide the rules, with fees as low as 0%. Why is your contribution important? In recent months, the web3 ecosystem has suffered from censorship attacks against communities and individuals, delisting their assets from the leading platforms in the industry. It is ironic that a movement such as web3 whose ethos is openness, transparency and decentralization, doesn't have truly permissionless tools. We are here to give power back to individuals. Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The ones who see things differently... How will your contribution help us? Otomee is a public infrastructure for the web3 ecosystem, and we need your help bootstrap the platform. Your contributions will be used to pay for audits, deploy smart contracts to the mainnet, ensure the platform can pay for querying from The Graph, and allow us to keep developing until Otomee becomes self-sustainable. A built-in, open marketplace. Otomee aims to be the place where communities can have all they need to thrive. With a built-in, open marketplace, your community can exchange NFTs and decide whether they want to pay royalties or transact completely free. Otomee introduces a new user-centric model where individuals will be able to curate NFT listings from different communities and present them on their themed profile page, under the Curation tab. All sales made through the user’s Curation page will give him a % of the sale defined by him, creating new markets and opportunities for individuals to leverage the metaverse economy. A Highly customizable Presentation card: Otomee will give communities and individuals the tools they need to express themselves through their collections, offering artists, communities and collectors full control over the look and feel of their profiles and pages so they can be used as the ultimate way of representing their whole identity in one place. These features will remain decentralized and on-chain in the form of NFTs with gas efficiency and flexibility as top priorities. Creators will also be able to share their custom themes with the world. It will be up to them to decide how they will be distributed: be it in the form of an airdrop to their communities, a free mint or if they want to charge for them. This opens a completely new sea of possibilities for communities and creators to connect. Onboarding brands and communities to the Metaverse: It is important to create easy ways for traditional brands and communities to dip their toes into the metaverse. Otomee helps them with one-click SC deployments from a preset of the most popular NFT standards and drop strategies, with automatic integration to the Otomee ecosystem. ENS at its core. Otomee implements Sign In with Ethereum and ENS as its authentication system, implementing resolution for ENS names and avatars, but more importantly, giving communities a subdomain of Otomee.eth for their community page, helping them avoid phishing scams. Any modifications in example.otomee.eth is much easier to spot than otomee.eth/0xabcd…. Besides, settings like community themes and royalty settings (If set) will be saved in text records of the community’s subdomain. Otomee uses ENS to power the platform and you can use Otomee to power your ENS experience. ENS users will have an intuitive interface to easily customize their ENS text records and set their NFTs as ENS avatars with one click, or using non-NFT images dragging and dropping to upload them directly to IPFS. If set, these text records like description, location and social media handles will be displayed in their Otomee profile. To leverage Otomee’s built-in, censorship-resistant marketplace, the ENS community will be able to buy and sell ENS names with ENS-specific filters and 0% fees. The architecture: 🤓 Otomee has been designed with decentralization as a top priority. It features a serverless architecture using technologies like the EVM, IPFS to store the Web App itself, orders, setting and themes; Orbitdb to manage the data, The Graph to index blockchain information of NFTs and SCs, and ENS to logically structure the platform. None of these services has a single point of failure and every line of code of the platform is open source, thus creating a self-sustainable marketplace that everyone can use, no one can control, anyone can verify and no one can stop.

Global warming, biodiversity loss, and poverty are examples of issues that ReFi and Impact DAOs are addressing. A global movement is rising for the use of web3 for good, but the nascency and decentralized nature of the space prevents innovators from easily knowing and navigating the ecosystem. To cause our individual actions to aggregate to planetary scale regeneration requires intelligent coordination as a network within and across distributed organizations (DAOs). To coordinate at a global level, we need a decentralized knowledge network which can enable us to  Map the ecosystem Who and what exists? How are they related?  People, groups, media, standards, science, events, jobs, etc. Spread knowledge Search and recommendation to provide access to relevant information Build relationships Between people, groups, and other resources   We’re doing these things already—in discord, telegram, and a growing group of web3 specific organization tools—but lack a holistic map and compass to help us comprehend and navigate the ecosystem we are co-creating.     People may want to learn how to contribute to system change but don't know how. Investors have committed trillions to climate finance but don't see how to distribute it.  By mapping the ecosystem, we create paths for progress.  By allowing for discourse to be embedded in the map, we can build roadmaps for DeSci, investment, engineering, and overarching stories that underlie regenerative cultures. Shared stories can catalyze a critical mass of people, and mobilize the funds, legitimacy, and other resources necessary to make the systems-level changes we so urgently need.   So, what are we doing? We are solving an important piece of the coordination stack. We are building a semantic social network- a platform that is designed for you to tell your story and share what people, projects, and other resources you’re connected with. These local perspectives can be linked together to show a big picture view: who and what is in the ecosystem of #ReFi and how is it all connected together? What are people working on?  What is needed? What is being offered? This content can also be used specifically for investors, to provide a clear picture of the value proposition of projects in the space.    The backbone of this platform is a database of knowledge integrated into a graph structure. Knowledge graphs put data in context via linking resources to each other and to semantic metadata to provide a framework for data integration, unification, analytics and sharing. They are already used by the big social networks, search engines, personal AI assistants, markets, and other siloed enterprises that deal with networks.  By integrating data into information, information into knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom, we can create an open knowledge graph for the global network of regerates.     Knowledge graphs are easy to conceptualize, they are made by connecting nodes representing things (objects, events, ideas, people, projects, etc) with directed edges representing relationships.  This symbolic structure allows for the meaning of the data to be both machine and human readable. The data can be browsed visually like a map or with a search engine like Google. Knowledge graphs can be combined with machine learning to improve AI, creating the possibility for humans and machines to work together to cultivate and apply intelligence for regeneration.   Here is a visualization of a knowledge graph to give you a better idea:     A secret sauce to Knowledge Graphs is ontology, the design of schemas for the types of resources and relationships in a domain.  This provides a standard structure for data to be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable (FAIR). We hope to work with stakeholders across the ecosystem to steward ontologies for various sub-domains, such as DAOs, jobs, and MRV.   We’re building this open source. We'll leverage a current prototype that we’ve built for a team at NASA. We’ll build an app with screens for DAOs, founders, job seekers, investors, storytellers, to share and publish information. We'll collaborate with other groups like ReFiDAO on projects such as self sovereign profiles and an impact explorer. We’ll build community on Twitter to promote this platform with the many voices of #ReFi as the world’s innovation force for the future. We know that trees can exchange resources through underground fungal networks in a “wood wide web”. Blockchain networks can be seen to allow for value to be exchanged in a similar way for humans.  However, trees also need to communicate through these networks to know how to share resources and coordinate to avoid disasters and flourish as an ecosystem.  We are building a similar intelligence system to complement blockchains. In short, we are building a self organizing collective intelligence platform for planetary scale regeneration.      What have we done so far? We have gathered core contributors including Ellie Young Jenn Baez Darren Zal Katerina Carbonell We have been conducting interviews with ReFi projects to inform our first ontology.  If you want to participate in this process, please sign up for an interview or fill out our survey here.   How will we use funds from this grant? We will design and build the knowledge graph as a commons, making it as free, open, and decentralized as possible. We are also building a public website for interacting with the graph.

This can be achieved by the process of independence with local self-determination (recognized by the regime of Venezuela), which could then provide for the world an example of a societal transition to crypto and its benefits. Existing sandboxes, economic zones or the like are much subject to legacy rules or the whims of future political leaders (see, e.g., the recent Honduras zone revocation, the Nevada State Legislature’s unwillingness to provide the regulatory framework requested by Blockchains LLC). Ethereum innovators care about maintaining significant rights (free trade, self-custody, renounceable contracts, censorship resistance, anonymity by entities and of beneficial owners, not sanctioning or blocking innocent groups such as Venezuelans or Iranians, etc.), which most Venezuelans already agree with or would recognize in their public policy. But despite all the ""crypto revolution"" hype, Venezuelans remain bound to a regime that imposes oppression within deteriorated infrastructure. Since 2019, a Law of the Integral System of Cryptoassets heavily restricts operations with crypto, requiring registration with or permission from a Superintendency. Since 2022, transactions that are not in an official currency, including cryptocurrencies other than the Petro, are further taxable. In July 2022, special economic zones were created, but are likewise centrally planned and do not provide confidence of legal security. The Independence Workstream of Paraguana DAO, thanks to a handful of local activists in the Peninsula of Paraguana in Venezuela (one of the economic zones), has started to collect signatures to declare the Peninsula as an independent crypto zone or country, initially governed by direct democracy of one vote per citizen with decentralized governance tech. With this grant, the Workstream seeks to conduct crypto advocacy and advance ""good crypto policy and defense of the open web"" in the following manners: 1.Conducting advocacy, awareness, and consultations for this cause at Devcon Bogota (because international support is important). We have proposed to Devcon a community hub for “Decentralized Societies, Network States or Crypto Jurisdictions” in which an activity could be “international assistance sessions” but it was not accepted; with Gitcoin funding, we could do this individually, for Venezuela. We could also outline how the crypto community would see a crypto jurisdiction with good policy out of an independence, fork, or negotiation for sovereignty from an existing state. No expenses would be made for travel or accommodations. 2.Producing a report of efforts undertaken and learnings to date, including interviews with activists and an approximation of community reactions, for the benefit of other activists or supporters who might want to advance similar efforts. 3.Printing propaganda in Spanish on why good crypto policy and defense of the open web is necessary and should be achieved by way of the referendum (see this folder of materials), tracking each material’s impact in terms of signatures obtained. This does not include production or distribution work, which is better to be funded or volunteered locally. 4.Experimenting with paid ads in local outlets (that are not owned by sanctioned persons), with up to 5% of the grant funding, tracking each campaign’s impact in terms of signatures obtained. The distribution of funds and impact will be tracked as it is deemed viable, considering security and privacy for funds used in Venezuela, and will be reported within three months.",2022-09-03T22:54:30.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7510,False,False,0x624c49E49A3a35aF88065CF14D6AafBe32370FDf,0xDocs - Decentralized live editing and documentation registry,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7510/0xdocs-decentralized-live-editing-and-documentati,"This is a description to be updated ",2022-09-03T22:59:33.369-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7511,False,False,0x624c49E49A3a35aF88065CF14D6AafBe32370FDf,0xDocs - Decentralized live editing and documentation registry,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7511/0xdocs-decentralized-live-editing-and-documentati,"This is a description to be updated ",2022-09-03T22:59:33.699-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7512,True,True,0x63c67e568e66BE5301caC79Df85E026b89bDCeCf,3 Seeds / 3 Semillas Collective,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7512/3-seeds-3-semillas-collective,"We are building a knowledge and resource sharing network to support (and learn from) those who are building non-extractive models of community through recovering the teachings of our lands, ancestors, and cultures. So far in our work outside of the blockchain space, we’ve helped thousands of people get started with their first homes, retain access to their homes and/or lands, and have built several circles through ceremony, creative, healing residencies, and a tiny home community. We are now coming together to work across generations and geographies to create a collective resource network – 3Seeds DAO - based on the experiences of diverse community builders, so that anyone can envision their own path to home and community, connect with others, and eventually build themselves with support from the DAO. With this funding we will be able to advance our two current core initiatives by launching the online community space and starting a pilot project on the first physical community site called Tierrita Grande in South Texas. Our Current Core Initiatives: An online community space. We are creating an open-source virtual space for learning and connection. We will first start by hosting a monthly speaker series and continue building out open-source educational modules from our past build experiences, from our current build experience with Tierrita Grande, and from others in our network who are building. Research, Development & Documentation of low-cost, simple models for systems using Tierrita Grande (or other DAO partners) to test and implement. This will all feed into our open-source knowledge sharing platform we are building (see long-term plans below). We are currently testing systems for water and options for low-cost small dwellings. We have relationships with researchers and alternative builders to start these research pilots and documentation. Within five years we hope to: Have a comprehensive, holistic community development ecosystem on-chain to support those who are building models of community in right relationship with the land and her original stewards. This resource network will include human resources (builders, technicians, educators, healers, artists), educational resources, physical resources (products, materials), legal resources, and financial resources (shared purchasing models, sponsorships, and funding pools). We are excited to work within the blockchain space not just to create the resource network, but also to be able to leverage other models being created within the space. We are especially interested in partnering with those who are creating tokenomics models for land stewardship and with game designers to be able to co-create designs in the metaverse to implement on the physical earth. Why this model: Land, home and community are increasingly out of reach for many people. Unfortunately there are very few resources and little funding for those wanting to build outside of the current model that treats land as a commodity and expects a high financial return on investment from development.  Many people saw the benefit of community during the pandemic, whether that was sharing with neighbors or physically building a community. As community builders ourselves, we had people reach out to us asking for advice on how to create communities on their lands. Rather than a top-down model, we saw the need for an open, knowledge-sharing network where all of us could learn from one another, create educational resources from our unique experiences, leverage our collective power for joint purchasing, and share sponsorships and funding streams. How our model differs from existing ones in Web3: We investigated other community and land development models within the blockchain space to see if we might put our network under an existing initiative already well established; however, ours differed significantly from what we saw. Two DAOs we researched and participated in calls with were Cohere and CityDAO. While we are intrigued by CityDAO’s novel approach to buying land on-chain together and governing the land within their DAO, our communities are not looking to put their lands into the hands of strangers, especially a group where we don’t see many people who look like us. We will, however, continue to follow their progress and learn from their model for co-ownership of land on-chain for our future community projects.   Another DAO – Cohere - is building communities and seemed like it could be similar work to ours, yet we found some substantial differences. Cohere designed a community development model first (geared towards one demographic – remote workers/digital nomads), got traditional Wall Street investors on board, and are now looking for lands on which to implement their model. We, on the other hand, have a network of people with lands who are interested in listening to the land first and designing flexible models that work with what the land needs and creating accessible spaces for all ages and all types of contributors (not just those who can work remotely).  Let's Build Together! The pandemic led many people to want to create new models for home and community, yet they may lack the resources and/or knowledge to do so. 3Seeds DAO will create an equitable knowledge and resource sharing network network based on the experiences of diverse communities, so that anyone can envision their own path to home and community, connect with others, and eventually build or join others in building.

So far in our work outside of the blockchain space, we’ve helped thousands of people get started with their first homes, retain access to their homes and/or lands, and have built several circles through ceremony, creative, healing residencies, and a tiny home community. We are now coming together to work across generations and geographies to create a collective resource network – 3Seeds DAO - based on the experiences of diverse community builders, so that anyone can envision their own path to home and community, connect with others, and eventually build themselves with support from the DAO. With this funding we will be able to advance our two current core initiatives by launching the online community space and starting a pilot project on the first physical community site called Tierrita Grande in South Texas. Our Current Core Initiatives: An online community space. We are creating an open-source virtual space for learning and connection. We will first start by hosting a monthly speaker series and continue building out open-source educational modules from our past build experiences, from our current build experience with Tierrita Grande, and from others in our network who are building. Research, Development & Documentation of low-cost, simple models for systems using Tierrita Grande (or other DAO partners) to test and implement. This will all feed into our open-source knowledge sharing platform we are building (see long-term plans below). We are currently testing systems for water and options for low-cost small dwellings. We have relationships with researchers and alternative builders to start these research pilots and documentation. Within five years we hope to: Have a comprehensive, holistic community development ecosystem on-chain to support those who are building models of community in right relationship with the land and her original stewards. This resource network will include human resources (builders, technicians, educators, healers, artists), educational resources, physical resources (products, materials), legal resources, and financial resources (shared purchasing models, sponsorships, and funding pools). We are excited to work within the blockchain space not just to create the resource network, but also to be able to leverage other models being created within the space. We are especially interested in partnering with those who are creating tokenomics models for land stewardship and with game designers to be able to co-create designs in the metaverse to implement on the physical earth. Why this model: Land, home and community are increasingly out of reach for many people. Unfortunately there are very few resources and little funding for those wanting to build outside of the current model that treats land as a commodity and expects a high financial return on investment from development.  Many people saw the benefit of community during the pandemic, whether that was sharing with neighbors or physically building a community. As community builders ourselves, we had people reach out to us asking for advice on how to create communities on their lands. Rather than a top-down model, we saw the need for an open, knowledge-sharing network where all of us could learn from one another, create educational resources from our unique experiences, leverage our collective power for joint purchasing, and share sponsorships and funding streams. How our model differs from existing ones in Web3: We investigated other community and land development models within the blockchain space to see if we might put our network under an existing initiative already well established; however, ours differed significantly from what we saw. Two DAOs we researched and participated in calls with were Cohere and CityDAO. While we are intrigued by CityDAO’s novel approach to buying land on-chain together and governing the land within their DAO, our communities are not looking to put their lands into the hands of strangers, especially a group where we don’t see many people who look like us. We will, however, continue to follow their progress and learn from their model for co-ownership of land on-chain for our future community projects.   Another DAO – Cohere - is building communities and seemed like it could be similar work to ours, yet we found some substantial differences. Cohere designed a community development model first (geared towards one demographic – remote workers/digital nomads), got traditional Wall Street investors on board, and are now looking for lands on which to implement their model. We, on the other hand, have a network of people with lands who are interested in listening to the land first and designing flexible models that work with what the land needs and creating accessible spaces for all ages and all types of contributors (not just those who can work remotely).  Let's Build Together! The pandemic led many people to want to create new models for home and community, yet they may lack the resources and/or knowledge to do so. 3Seeds DAO will create an equitable knowledge and resource sharing network network based on the experiences of diverse communities, so that anyone can envision their own path to home and community, connect with others, and eventually build or join others in building.

DECODE Zero Waste Technology for apparel removes all waste from manufacturing, eliminating the fashion industry's average of 20% waste- which amounts to 60 billion meters of wasted fabric every year.  While Zero Waste Manufacturing is a very scalable process, it requires exact methods to produce correctly. This is very similar in concept to Champagne vs. Prosecco, or Gucci vs. knockoff. In our proposal, we will address how smart certifications on blockchain will help us scale responsibly through our Zero Waste Certification while fighting greenwashing efforts in the physical world (greenwashing: corporate attempts to capitalize on the demand for 'sustainable' products, while contributing a bare minimum and conflating numbers). In short, we will do so by auto-capturing physical manufacturing data to establish provenance, leveraging available blockchain protocols & ongoing partnerships with key web3 companies and CNC (computer controlled) machine tech developers. We will accomplish this using:  Zero Waste Technology x Certification x Manufacturing metadata x Blockchain protocols  To: Develop and implement an open-source smart certification process for physically manufactured goods on-chain. Throughout this presentation, the following statements will be proven “true.”  Zero Waste = the future of design Scaling Zero Waste = removing waste Automatic metadata capture = verifiable provenance The Zero Waste process needs protection through certification Certifications, manufacturing metadata, and blockchain are perfect use cases for each other Automatic manufacturing metadata is the missing link for end-to-end smart certifications All of the above are scalable across all industries, not just fashion. Outline: 1) DECODE Zero Waste Technology 2) Zero Waste Smart Certification 3) Manufacturing metadata collection 4) Blockchain integration 5) Partners/team 6) Conclusion 1.) DECODE Zero Waste Technology:  DECODE can be defined as a designer-owned Zero Waste Design & Manufacturing innovation hub based in Brooklyn, NY. Using the tools we have developed for more than a decade, we are set to prove that Zero Waste Design & Manufacturing is a scalable system. To put it in context, the fashion industry is the second most wasteful worldwide, wasting an average of 20% of fabric that is never used in a garment. Our Zero Waste Technology uses highly complex pattern engineering to accomplish 100% pattern efficiency. This leaves no waste in production; we call this True Zero Waste since we eliminate waste before it even happens.  Below we will demonstrate how:  Removing waste while reducing material needed = saving businesses money and saving the planet valuable resources. For our example, we will use a Zero Waste pattern we developed in collaboration with varsity jacket brand, Settlemiers. This resulted in a cutting-edge limited edition jacket in collaboration with web3 brand Metafactory, using Kong’s innovative v1 halo chips. (p.9-10 in linked document) Settlemier’s original pattern wastes 24% of fabric. Using our Zero Waste Technology, we successfully removed waste with a pattern suited to using 100% of fabric.  The best part? On top of removing all waste from this pattern, we were able to manufacture an additional 10 jackets from the same amount of fabric. This incredible efficiency, if we apply this to all garments made worldwide, will have an astoundingly positive impact on the climate, with the added benefit of saving businesses money. In short, Zero Waste Technology = the future of design Scaling Zero Waste = removing waste  2.) Zero Waste Certification:  Where the Zero Waste process needs the most safeguarding is at the intersection of design & manufacturing. Design is only a proof of concept if not implemented- and if implemented incorrectly, the process itself is diluted. In the case of Zero Waste, if a Zero Waste Pattern is adjusted or implemented incorrectly, it should not be called Zero Waste. Because of the implied guarantee in the name, we need an open certification process. Here (p. 12 in our document) is a perfect case of a pattern used incorrectly. Just one part of how it can be used incorrectly, nesting software has not yet been developed to handle truly Zero Waste patterns. Using CLO3D (industry standard for 3D apparel), we find that their nesting software comically misinterprets our already perfectly nested Zero Waste Pattern. Given that nesting software is universally used in computerized manufacturing, without first knowing that our patterns are already perfectly nested, it’s more than possible that a facility can cut an entire batch of clothing the wrong way.  Luckily, there’s a clear path forward. Including members of ZWDC [Zero WAste Design Collective], of which Danielle is a founding member, we have a foundation already in place for an international certification for all Zero Waste Apparel applications. In being a separate entity from DECODE, this certification will independently employ experts worldwide while connecting designers and manufacturers with those seeking to participate, while certifying & auditing patterns and products as Zero Waste. In order for this certification to be as user-friendly as possible, and without requiring persistent oversight, automatic smart certifications will need to be employed through smart contracts and blockchain protocols. Luckily, the answer to both comes down to computerized manufacturing equipment.  Not only does using a CNC machine make it nearly impossible to improperly cut a Zero Waste pattern, but it also provides metadata that, when combined in real-time with blockchain, allows for immediately verified certification signatures. 3.) Smart certifications through manufacturing metadata: Alright, on to the meat of the subject: automatic manufacturing metadata capture. The best analogy to use here is the digital camera.  When a photo is taken, a snapshot of all pertinent information is automatically captured. Location, time, and pertinent data are all stored with the image.   Simply put, we need this process for manufacturing. The problem with greenwashing: claims are hard to verify and often conflated The problem with blockchain metadata: a lot of current metadata is human volunteered, leaving room for misrepresented/incomplete data (greenwashing) What a smart certification needs:  1) pertinent metadata is automatically captured & publicly made available on-chain 2) this metadata proves “who, what, when, where” and is directly linked to a specific product. In more specific terms, for a certification to be automatically granted, we need to prove that “this certified operator is cutting this certified pattern on certified equipment, at this location/date/time.” if all marks are met, a certification is issued via blockchain signature, through a dedicated eth address. Luckily, with CNC-operated machinery, metadata is constantly being generated- it only needs a method of translation.  Combining open-source firmware software such as g-code, and developing a system that outputs readable metadata for blockchain, this project lays the groundwork for all possible CNC-operated applications. We have paired with Simon Johnson and Shruti Grover from Pattern Project UK, who have built their own CNC fabric cutting table and have developed their own software from scratch for their micro-factory in London, UK. As partners in the development of Zero Waste cutting applications, we will be developing this machine for this intended use, opening the door for unprecedented transparent manufacturing standards. 4.) Blockchain protocols/process: Other than simply verifying this metadata, how this metadata is stored and linked to any final product is crucial to maintaining integrity. We plan to do so through currently available protocols/software: FOAM- a tamper-proof location verification protocol ARWEAVE- decentralized storage (DSN) for permanent, sustainable data storage IPFS- interplanetary file system for file sharing Self-sovereign halo KONG chips- physical NFT NFC chips for permanently linking metadata to physical product ERS- Ethereum reality service: an on-chain visual launcher for use with kong’s NFC chips MFO-  Metafactory’s operating system, combining ARWEAVE and IPFS on-chain Robox NFC chip scanning: transferring ARWEAVE/IPFS data onto physical NFC chips In a simple visualization, this is what we will be achieving: Pattern → CNC machine → Automatic product metadata → Blockchain smart certification In a more detailed overview, it will look like this: Zero Waste Certified Pattern –[zero knowledge smart contract]→ Zero Waste Certified Manufacturer → Manufacturing metadata captured [FOAM, ARWEAVE, IPFS]→ Smart Certification issued → scanned onto halo chip [MFOS, ROBOX, KONG] → Customer scans chip on phone [ERS] 5.) Team/partners: ZWDC: Danielle, Cass, Mylène, Holly- certification acting body Pattern Project UK: Simon and Shruti- CNC metadata developers KONG: Self-sovereign NFT chip manufacturer IYK: Visual software designers for visual interaction through ERS Metafactory: MFOS and Robox- metadata storage, product linking & Kong chip scanning 6. Conclusion: In conclusion, the case for on-chain smart certifications and automatic metadata capture is our best tool in fighting greenwashing and making the greatest impact on our climate. Join us in building a substantive future.

If you would like your donation to have the maximum impact, please postpone the donation until the next Gitcoin Grants matching round begins. Thank you! “Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.” -C.G. Jung Letters, Vol. 1: 1906-1950 The Neuroscience of Ethereum is a framework based on First Principles, and it can be applied to advance our understanding of Ethereum. It can also be applied to understand how Neuromodulation is the ""bicycle for the brain"" - stay tuned for the next round.   In web3 and Ethereum, we are endowed with Freedom of Transaction: This unlocks coordination possibilities that are, in many ways, beyond the scope of imagination. E.g., we can build a society in which health insurance companies are no longer the gate-keepers of TMS prior authorizations. Our patients no longer have to jump through hoops and holes in order to receive this life-transforming intervention.   On Ethereum, we can leverage smart contracts and Elastic Finance (more below) to stream Neuro-Cognitive Liquidity into the Nervous System with Neuromodulation, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and other forms of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous updates: Because Ethereum is a Model of the World, we will consequently glean many insights about our Universe (and Metaverse). Crucially, in-sights about the Nervous System map on to the Ethereum Network with uncanny and striking resemblances.  One of the most important insights is Elasticity.  Much like ETH exhibits properties of Moneyness... ...Neurotransmitters, too, function like Money. However, adjustments to market demand are made by modulating the Supply of Neurotransmitters (Store of Value; left), and not their “Price” – the degree of change induced in the resting membrane potential of the neuron (Unit of Account; right) by excitatory post-synaptic potentials (EPSPs) or inhibitory post-synaptic potentials (IPSPs). Hence, the Nervous System appears to be organized under an Elastic Finance System. It is imperative we apply these insights towards Elastic Finance. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Earlier this year, several people died by suicide following the LUNA debacle. Many others lost their life savings. The implosion rippled far throughout the ecosystem and spared no one, as the market witnessed cascading liquidations sending the price of ETH all the way down to $888. The greed of the few induced the misfortune of many. Without any tools to monitor the cognitive taxes from financial insecurity constraints levied on everyone, we can only guess the degree of aggregate loss to society. We must do better. Decentralized Finance has transformed many lives, but it is far from perfect. If we are going to successfully build a better world with web3 technology, then we will require a more stable financial system. Thankfully, there are solutions. Zero Liquidation Loans in Elastic Finance: By adhering to the Scientific Process, we source Truth from the World. The Ethereum Network and the Nervous System are both Truth sourcing entities. Examined through the lens of Active Inference in Systems Neuroscience, the Ethereum Network and our Neuronal Networks appear to be causally modeling each other:   This unfolds as the Nervous System sources Truth from the world continuously in real time, by converting disorder into order; information entropy into certainty. Thus, we can model Ethereum after the Nervous System in this way in order to source Truth from the world, and securely add it to our shared public good – the distributed ledger. Now that Ethereum has scaled with its own Layer 2 solutions, this security can empower us to confidently source Truths and Decentralize Science. Through consensus at unprecedented scale on Ethereum, we can plausibly attempt GameFi solutions: e.g., Sleep 2 Earn to reverse the Sleep Epidemic, or Heal 2 Earn to gamify healthy living, or optimizing cognition with Neuromodulation, or some combination/evolution thereof. All catalyzed by data collection from individuals around the world, and the resultant data token tsunami of liquidity finding its way to Ethereum DeFi. That is one pathway to bootstrapping a human node network. Below follows a very broad overview of this framework: ",2022-09-03T23:48:01.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7516,True,True,0x1Ab75FEA1f27A6dfAfF81b0371AB6d57E112906B,Open Source Medical Prize Fund for Retroactive Funding of Public Good Medicines,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7516/open-source-medical-prize-fund-for-retroactive-fu,"Imagine if we can treat depression with an off-patent psychedelic-assisted therapy or cancer with a ketogenic diet?  Crowd Funded Cures is an Open Source Medical Impact DAO (partnered with VitaDAO, Molecule, PsyDAO, & LabDAO and receiving advisory support from Protocol Labs and the Health Impact Fund), whose mission is to create a financially innovative Impact Market to re-align private incentives in the medical industry away from monopoly-priced patented medicines and towards low-cost, open-source therapies that can treat and potentially cure millions of patients and improve global health and well-being.  Please note that we have two grants. The one you are reading is our grant application for the Open Source Medical Prize Fund of the Medical Impact DAO, Crowd Funded Cures. We have a separate grant application for our Medical Impact DAO, which you can find here: https://gitcoin.co/grants/7518/medical-impact-dao-to-govern-retroactive-funding-o Currently, 1000s of otherwise viable unmonopolizable therapies are ignored by the pharmaceutical industry because a monopoly price cannot be enforced. We call them public good medicines because once the treatment protocol is published, it is not possible to stop people accessing the therapy from multiple sources (non-excludable) and use of the treatment protocol does not prevent others from using it (non-rivalrous). Unfortunately, this causes a tragedy of the commons which means that pharma companies will not fund the large clinical trials needed for them to be reimbursed by health insurers or obtain regulatory approval. Governments and health insurers also do not want to take on the political risk of paying for large clinical trials in case they fail, which means these treatments will typically not be accepted by the mainstream medical establishment. They include repurposed off-patent generic drugs, supplements, plant medicines, psychedelics, diets, and non-pharmaceutical / lifestyle interventions. We can solve this tragedy of the commons and provide a high impact use case for society that unlocks billions of dollars in social value for relatively low cost by establishing an Impact Market that incentivises impact investors to fund IP-NFTs representing public good medicines. Successful clinical trial data that validates the safety and efficacy of such public good medicines converts the IP-NFTs into Hypercerts eligible to receive outcome payments from a crowdfunded Open Source Medical Prize Fund proportional to improved patient outcomes validated in clinical trials (see Medical Prize fund figure below). The Impact Market also de-risks the funding of clinical trials for donors / public. The result would be that investors fund new public good medicines that are off-patent, unmonopolizable, and available to the entire global community at low cost, while obtaining a standard return on investment. However, in order to bring this open source business model to pharma, we need to crowdfund a source of retroactive (and quadratic) funding of the Impact Market through our Medical Prize Fund. Together, by supporting an Open Source Medical Prize Fund, the community can usher in a new era of medicine which does not ignore otherwise viable therapies because they are not profitable under the traditional patent system. Unlike donations to traditional charities (which often receive the majority of their funding from big pharma), through this novel “pay-for-success” mechanism, you can also be sure that your donations will only fund successful clinical trials. The following presentation by founder Savva Kerdemelidis at DeSci Berlin hosted by Molecule on 24 May 2022 explains the problem of this tragedy of the commons and how to solve it using ""prize-like"" Pay-For-Success contracts x IP-NFTs to create an impact market for open source medicine: Medical Prize Fund Key Takeaways Where's my donation going? Your donations will go towards an Open Source Medical Prize Fund. This general fund will provide a source of retroactive (and quadratic) funding of specific Open Source Medical Prizes in specific therapeutic classes e.g. Open Longevity Prize Fund, Open Psychedelic Depression Prize Fund, Open Glioblastoma Prize Fund and others. Specific pilot Open Medical Prize Fund categories we are supporting: Open Longevity Prize Fund: Together with VitaDAO and Lifespan.io, we are supporting the idea of an Open Longevity Prize Fund to incentivise repurposing of generic drug and and other unmonopolizable therapies to improve healthy longevity using a standard functional strength biomarker such as the 30-second chair stand test, which is correlated with healthy longevity. For example, Dr. Stanfield’s Phase 2a proof-of-concept designed to assess the safety, tolerability, feasibility, and trial design of weekly rapamycin (generic drug) + exercise vs. placebo. Our fundraising goal is $10m.  Open Psychedelic Depression Prize Fund: Together with PsyDAO and The Ketamine Task Force, we are helping raise funding for a clinical trial that will assess the superior efficacy and safety of racemic generic ""Open Ketamine"" for treatment-resistant depression, which costs less than $10 a course vs. esketamine which that is the left-handed molecule of racemic ketamine, and costs approximately $12,000 dollars because it is patented. Ultimately we want to ensure that patients can access safe and affordable generic ketamine treatments by providing an impact market to incentivise successful clinical trials. Our fundraising goal is $10m.  Open Glioblastoma Prize Fund: Glioblastoma (otherwise known as a brain tumour) is one of the deadliest cancers, with less than 10% chance of survival over 5 years from diagnosis. However, there are many public good therapies that may be more effective than other patented medicines. Crowd Funded Cures want to establish an Open Glioblastoma Prize Fund to support the fundraising efforts of non-profit organisations such as Gillies McIndoe Research Institute which has been very supportive of our mission and is fundraising for a Phase 2 randomised controlled trial to use generic drugs (e.g. ACE inhibitors) to treat glioblastoma. It is also possible that a ketogenic diet may help treat or even cure cancers such as glioblastoma, due to cancer cells requiring 10x more glucose than other cells, and so are starved by a ketogenic diet. Our fundraising goal is $10m.  Open COVID Prize Fund: The Covid pandemic has killed millions of people and caused trillions of dollars in economic damage. Early in the pandemic, off-patent drugs such as HCQ and ivermectin were promoted as potential treatments and cures, with billions of dollars in public funding spent, but scientists still arguing over efficacy, mainly over political rather than scientific lines. Meanwhile, there are various low cost off-patent treatments like dexamethasone, which have received less attention, but could be effective treatments for Covid and other respiratory illnesses, e.g. fluvoxamine, budesonide, BCG vaccine, L-arginine, and others. Future clinical projects in our pipeline: We actively engage with our DAO, community and external partners to understand where the biggest impact is with public good medicines (e.g. high cost indications such as treating end-stage kidney disease and Crohn’s disease with diet).  Problem: A Lack of Incentives for the Clinical Development of Public Good Medicines The pharmaceutical industry’s reliance on patents have led to a massive market failure: affordable and potentially life saving therapies are missing the incentives for robust clinical evaluation and development, ultimately keeping potential cures out of the hands of patients.  An estimated 7500 generic drugs and 50,000+ nutraceuticals, plant medicines, diets and lifestyle interventions could be studied to treat and potentially cure diseases for 1/100th of the cost and up to 10x faster than patented drugs as their safety profile and often mechanism of actions are known from use over many years.  However, without monopolistic pricing and/or royalties secured by patent protection, investors are unable to get a return on their investment for the large Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials that identify new therapeutic uses for these treatments, so these treatments have almost zero chance of getting the funding needed to gain regulatory approval and be prescribed by physicians.  We therefore need new ways to fund these Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials to get these therapeutics to patients. Solution: Our Medical Prize Fund Incentivizes Phase 2 Randomized Controlled Trials of Public Good Medicines Gitcoin Grants supports the development of open-source tools by providing direct crowdfunding or “push” incentives. Impact Markets transfer the risk of funding clinical trials to impact investors, by crowdfunding a Medical Prize Fund that acts as a retroactive (and quadratic) funding “pull” incentive to optimize treatment protocols in Phase 2 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) for patients that are off-patent, unmonopolizable, and potentially curative, but ignored by the pharmaceutical industry. RCTs are used to compare the treatment to a placebo or standard of care to determine if the treatment is effective.  Phase 1 RCTs are to determine safety, and typically not required for public good medicines such as generic drugs, nutraceuticals, plant medicines or diets which have already passed Phase 1 or are generally recognised as safe (GRAS) compounds. Phase 2 RCTs are typically more than 100 patients and used to establish efficacy - these are also typically at the highest risk of failure (e.g. 50%). Phase 3 clinical trials assess the safety and efficacy of a therapeutic regimen and are required to get regulatory approval and market access of those therapies, so physicians can prescribe them to patients. These typically comprise more than 1000 patients. RCTs must be conducted by independent Contract Research Organizations (CROs) to ensure high quality and exclude manipulation. Regarding costs, a good rule of thumb is around $10k per patient, but can vary by indication (e.g. cancer RCTs might cost $50k or more per patient, due to the requirement of ongoing tests and monitoring). RCT treatment protocols must also be pre-approved by the Medical Impact DAO to ensure ethics approval. Go-to-Market Stage 1: Medical Impact DAO crowdfunds Medical “De-Risking” Prize Fund for Retrospective Funding of Phase 2 RCTs (see Figure 1 below) Step 1. The Medical Prize Fund will be supported by crowdfunding and sales of Medical Impact NFTs. Step 2. IP-NFTs are then minted to secure funding from impact investors for Phase 2 RCTs that generate treatment protocols with the most impact, as measured by % improved clinical outcomes vs. standard of care, which will be allocated impact points that determine the right to receive outcome payments from the Medical Impact Fund, through a flexible prize mechanism (e.g. 50% improvement in clinical outcomes vs usual care provides 50 impact points).  The higher the impact, the more impact points and more proportion of the annual 20% outcome payment received. This incentivizes incremental improvements and medical breakthroughs and “de-risks” Phase 2 RCTs. It also means that the Medical Prize Fund is scalable - the larger it is the more RCTs are registered before “market equilibium” is reached. This also ensures the efficient pricing and delivery of impact by the markets. Treatment protocols that are less efficacious/safe than standard of care will not be rewarded. Step 3. Successful clinical trial data validating safety and efficacy of a certain treatment protocol converts IP-NFTs to Hypercerts which has the right to register to the fund and receive outcome payments for a period of time (e.g 5 years), proportional to Impact Points generated, as validated by an independent contract research organization and multisig oracle. IP-NFTs owners receive exclusivity over their treatment protocol, as long as they are actively conducting the RCT. Figure 1. We transfer the risk of funding clinical trials to impact investors, by crowdfunding a Medical Prize Fund that acts as a retroactive (and quadratic) funding “pull” incentive to optimize treatment protocols in Phase 2 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) for patients that are off-patent, unmonopolizable, and potentially curative. Stage 2: Medical Impact DAO establishes Public Good Pharma Ltd to negotiate Advance Market Commitments (AMCs) for funding Phase 3 RCTs needed for Regulatory Approval of Public Good Medicines (see Figure 2 below) Once the optimal treatment protocol for Phase 2 RCTs is obtained by the Medical Impact DAO (see Stage 1 above), a Public Good Pharma company owned by the Medical Impact DAO will negotiate Advanced Market Commitments from Payers, e.g., healthcare payers - private and public - government, etc. ensure that funding the Phase 3 RCTs are rewarded with an exclusive commitment to purchase a “branded” therapy, e.g., $100m for Open Ketamine for treatment-resistant depression. The Public Good Pharma company can also leverage method of use / dosing regime patents and reformulations to strengthen its IP position although these would primarily be enforceable against payers but not against doctors and patients (hence the tragedy of the commons) - so open source is ""baked-into"" the model. AMCs provide financial incentives for Impact Investors to back a Phase 3 RCT which costs around $50m, and also conduct post marketing surveillance to check the therapy’s performance in real life scenarios, to study the long-term risks and benefits of using the therapy and to discover any rare side effects. The amount of the AMC will be less than the cost savings for Payers that successful treatment protocols derived from these clinical trials provide, which allows the business model to scale.  As part of the Advanced Market Commitment, Phase 3 RCTs that fail to show efficacy/safety vs. standard of care will not receive a payout from the AMC. Figure 2. Our Medical Impact DAO will establish a Public Good Pharma Ltd to negotiate Advance Market Commitments for the funding of Phase 3 RCTs required for regulatory approval of public good medicines.

The one you are reading is our grant application for the Open Source Medical Impact DAO, Crowd Funded Cures. We have a separate grant application for our Medical Prize Fund, which you can find here: https://gitcoin.co/grants/7516/open-source-medical-prize-fund-for-retroactive-fu Currently, 1000s of otherwise viable unmonopolizable therapies are ignored by the pharmaceutical industry because a monopoly price cannot be enforced. We call them public good medicines because once the treatment protocol is published, it is not possible to stop people accessing the therapy from multiple sources (non-excludable) and use of the treatment protocol does not prevent others from using it (non-rivalrous). Unfortunately, this causes a tragedy of the commons which means that pharma companies will not fund the large clinical trials needed for them to be reimbursed by health insurers or obtain regulatory approval. Governments and health insurers also do not want to take on the political risk of paying for large clinical trials in case they fail, which means these treatments will typically not be accepted by the mainstream medical establishment. They include repurposed off-patent generic drugs, supplements, plant medicines, psychedelics, diets, and non-pharmaceutical / lifestyle interventions. We can solve this tragedy of the commons and provide a high impact use case for web3 that unlocks billions of dollars in social value for relatively low cost by establishing an Impact Market that incentivises impact investors to fund IP-NFTs representing public good medicines. Successful clinical trial data that validates the safety and efficacy of such public good medicines converts the IP-NFTs into Hypercerts eligible to receive outcome payments from a crowdfunded Open Source Medical Prize Fund proportional to improved patient outcomes validated in clinical trials (see Medical Prize fund figure below). The Impact Market also de-risks the funding of clinical trials for donors / public. The result would be that investors fund new public good medicines that are off-patent, unmonopolizable, and available to the entire global community at low cost, while obtaining a standard return on investment. However, in order to bring this open source business model to pharma, we need to crowdfund a source of retroactive (and quadratic) funding of the Impact Market through our Medical Prize Fund, which is governed by our Medical Impact DAO. Together, by supporting our Medical Impact DAO, the community can usher in a new era of medicine which does not ignore otherwise viable therapies because they are not profitable under the traditional patent system. Unlike donations to traditional charities (which often receive the majority of their funding from big pharma), through this novel “pay-for-success” mechanism, you can also be sure that your donations will only fund successful clinical trials. The following presentation by founder Savva Kerdemelidis at DeSci Berlin hosted by Molecule on 24 May 2022 explains the problem of this tragedy of the commons and how to solve it using ""prize-like"" Pay-For-Success contracts x IP-NFTs to create an impact market for open source medicine: Your GR15 donations will be used to: 1. Build out the core infrastructure for our Medical Impact DAO, which will govern our Medical Prize Fund, a source of retroactive funding for Phase 2 clinical trials of public good medicines. 2. Support our operating expenses and key contributors to build out the DAO infrastructure and achieve milestones, as described below. Problem: A Lack of Incentives for the Clinical Development of Public Good Medicines The pharmaceutical industry’s reliance on patents have led to a massive market failure: affordable and potentially life saving therapies are missing the incentives for robust clinical evaluation and development, ultimately keeping potential cures out of the hands of patients.  An estimated 7500 generic drugs and 50,000+ nutraceuticals, plant medicines, diets and lifestyle interventions could be studied to treat and potentially cure diseases for 1/100th of the cost and up to 10x faster than patented drugs as their safety profile and often mechanism of actions are known from use over many years.  However, without monopolistic pricing and/or royalties secured by patent protection, investors are unable to get a return on their investment for the large Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials that identify new therapeutic uses for these treatments, so these treatments have almost zero chance of getting the funding needed to gain regulatory approval and be prescribed by physicians.  We therefore need new ways to fund these Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials to get these therapeutics to patients. Solution: Our Medical Prize Fund Incentivizes Phase 2 Randomized Controlled Trials of Public Good Medicines Gitcoin Grants supports the development of open-source tools by providing direct crowdfunding or “push” incentives. Impact Markets transfer the risk of funding clinical trials to impact investors, by crowdfunding a Medical Prize Fund that acts as a retroactive (and quadratic) funding “pull” incentive to optimize treatment protocols in Phase 2 randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) for patients that are off-patent, unmonopolizable, and potentially curative, but ignored by the pharmaceutical industry. RCTs are used to compare the treatment to a placebo or standard of care to determine if the treatment is effective.  Phase 1 RCTs are to determine safety, and typically not required for public good medicines such as generic drugs, nutraceuticals, plant medicines or diets which have already passed Phase 1 or are generally recognised as safe (GRAS) compounds. Phase 2 RCTs are typically more than 100 patients and used to establish efficacy - these are also typically at the highest risk of failure (e.g. 50%). Phase 3 RCTs assess the safety and efficacy of a therapeutic regimen and are required to get regulatory approval and market access of those therapies, so physicians can prescribe them to patients. These typically comprise more than 1000 patients. RCTs must be conducted by independent Contract Research Organisations (CROs) to ensure high quality and exclude manipulation. Regarding costs, a good rule of thumb is around $10k per patient, but can vary by indication (e.g. cancer RCTs might cost $50k or more per patient, due to the requirement of ongoing tests and monitoring). RCT treatment protocols must also be pre-approved by the Medical Impact DAO to ensure ethics approval. Go-To-Market Stage 1: Medical Impact DAO crowdfunds Medical “De-Risking” Prize Fund for Retrospective Funding of Phase 2 RCTs (see Figure 1 below) Step 1. The Medical Prize Fund will be supported by crowdfunding and sales of Medical Impact NFTs. Step 2. IP-NFTs are then minted to secure funding from impact investors for Phase 2 RCTs that generate treatment protocols with the most impact, as measured by % improved clinical outcomes vs. standard of care, which will be allocated impact points that determine the right to receive outcome payments from the Medical Impact Fund, through a flexible prize mechanism (e.g. 50% improvement in clinical outcomes vs usual care provides 50 impact points).  The higher the impact, the more impact points and more proportion of the annual 20% outcome payment received. This incentivizes incremental improvements and medical breakthroughs and “de-risks” Phase 2 RCTs and to determine the optimal treatment protocol for a public good medicine. It also means that the Medical Prize Fund is scalable - the larger it is the more RCTs are registered before “market equilibium” is reached. This also ensures the efficient pricing and delivery of impact by the markets. Treatment protocols that are less efficacious/safe than standard of care will not be rewarded. Step 3. Successful clinical trial data validating safety and efficacy of a certain treatment protocol converts IP-NFTs to Hypercerts which has the rights to register to the fund and receive outcome payments for a period of time (e.g 5 years), proportional to Impact Points generated, as validated by an independent contract research organization and multisig oracle.

Stage 2: Medical Impact DAO establishes Public Good Pharma Ltd to negotiate Advance Market Commitments (AMCs) for funding Phase 3 RCTs needed for Regulatory Approval of Public Good Medicines (see Figure 2 below) Once the optimal treatment protocol for Phase 2 RCTs is obtained by the Medical Impact DAO (see Stage 1 above), a Public Good Pharma company owned by the Medical Impact DAO will negotiate Advanced Market Commitments from Payers, e.g., healthcare payers - private and public - government, etc. ensure that funding the Phase 3 RCTs are rewarded with an exclusive commitment to purchase a “branded” therapy, e.g., $100m for Open Ketamine for treatment-resistant depression.

While spreadsheet is the usual goto tool for creating (simple to complex) models (we love spreadsheets), they're like your fav. web2 social network: you eventually don't own the logic you're creating. Indeed, the complex intrication of data, functions and calls in between cells stays stuck in the proprietary software you're using (Google sheet or Microsoft Excel most probably). Not only is the data stuck, but your capacity to use data or functions from the outer world is dramatically constrained. At the end of the day, you cannot control the intelligent software you created, you cannot easily migrate it, nor analyze it, etc. It's like if a dev couldn't keep a copy of their code out of the text editor they used to write it, nor could they deploy their program whenever and wherever they wanted! Starksheet solves this by relying only on on-chain data and functions: everything that the user generates is stored as NFT owned by the user every function ever deployed to the blockchain can be used in a cell no forced migration no software's built-in features constraint: built-in features are everything available on-chain, with constantly new features added as the ecosystem evolves Consequently, the model (the knowledge graph) underlying your work in the spreadsheet stays yours, simply yours. This graph can be used anywhere else, simultaneously by several dApps (like in a company, everyone could work on their fav. front end while indeed using and editing the same data). This graph can also be easily analyzed in real-time by some machine learning algorithms that could: estimate (human) error impact on each cell (each node) to help you prune useless task and put the effort where it matters compute sensibility of a given output to corresponding inputs compare to other graphs (other companies' intelligence) to detect oddities Quality comes with responsibility At Starksheet we believe that tools don't replace best practices. In other words you can do a good work with a bad tool and good practices but you cannot expect anything good from an awesome tool with bad practices. We then think that the best way to achieve data consistency at scale for a company is to make anyone responsible for their (small) chunk of data. Using NFT ownership as a marker of responsibility for this single piece of data/compute lets anyone raise their bar and the quality of the company data lake on the whole. Because everything is linked. The right interface to democratize blockchain tools Though the blockchain is a huge shared stated, the end regular-non-geek user of any dApp hasn't realized yet that dApps are just a front-end built by the same team that did the smart contract. In other word, they can interact with the underlying application without using the site, because it's here, on-chain, and so can be used directly. We actually saw people pledging for a ""etherscan"" skill, meaning they are confident heading to the read/write contract tabs and click in some buttons without (too much) fear. This is bad and not what we consider a democratized tool. In this spirit, starksheet can also be seen as a 360° revamp of the contract tabs of a block explorer: a familiar interface to use and create data just type in the contract name and benefit from a usual auto complete of the available functions use the output of one call into another one (like A1=token.ownerOf(1), B1=otherToken.balanceOf(A1)) bookmark these calls in a neat dashboard All together, starksheet aims at being a true general purpose workplace for the common user, not interested especially in web3 but whose adoption is driven by a gain in productivity and privacy. The Team Starksheet is actually not only an idea but is live on Starknet mainnet already. The genesis of the idea goes back to mid-may 2022 and we spent 2 months implementing it. Before this project, we already worked as a team in an on-chain NFT project called The Chain Dreamers (https://chaindreamers.xyz/). We actually all met in a web agency based in Paris (FR) where: Clément worked as a Machine Learning Engineer Georges worked as a Full Stack dev Jason worked as a Agile Coach/Product manager and later developed the no-code business unit Roadmap We successfully launched our PoC on Starknet mainnet in mid-august.

We’re moving completely away from Fiat - and connecting human gifts with human needs, so that we may all live in greater abundance. This platform is providing the infrastructure for communities and ecosystems to exchange value - in a transparent, secure, reliable way. It facilitates both inter and intra community bartering - meaning ecosystem members can barter amongst themselves, OR with members of other projects and protocols.   The fundamental problem we’re addressing is that so many people in 2022 find themselves cash-poor. They may be time-rich or skill-rich, but being cash-poor means there are so many things they can’t afford. Barter however allows members to outsource tasks, learn new skills, and connect with others authentically, all while saving money. So the benefits range from financial to social, for an individual, household, business or community.   Using blockchain technology, tokenization, matchmaking algorithms and machine learning - we’re also enabling users to go beyond the restrictions of traditional barter. We’re solving the age-old problems associated with barter trade, as well as personal problems for our users. Because we truly believe that NOW is the time to bridge the oldest form of trade, into the newest.   Throughout history barter has always increased “during times of economic recession and inflation” (Cambridge Press, 1986) and given the current economic climate, we believe global barter is needed more than ever. We’re using blockchain for social and public good, giving members egalitarian access to the services they need, regardless of the economic climate, or their personal financial situation.   To fuel this great barter comeback and scale this platform for mass adoption, we’ll need funding - and we want you to be a part of this!

A place where everyone will feel financially secure, both performer and customer. Users will have confidence in the performance of the arrangement. You are renting an apartment and need to pay a security deposit, which you are promised back when you move out ? With this project you can be sure of their return. Have you had your home renovated and are worried that it will be of poor quality? This service will solve that problem too. You can't find someone who will take your pets to the vet clinic and bring them back safe and sound? This service will solve that problem. Are you away on vacation and don't know who will take care of the cat or flowers in your home? This service will solve that dilemma. The variety of deals is limited only by the client's imagination and the current legislation of the country where this service will be provided. The mechanism of action of the project. All users of the service are assigned a financial and social rating (depending on the term of the account, blocked funds in the service and evaluations of other users). The financial rating is formed on the basis of blocked funds in the service as a guarantee of interest in long-term cooperation and fulfillment of undertaken obligations. There are several types of blocked funds: 1. The service temporarily withholds money to increase the financial rating of both performers and customers. 2. Service keeps money as a guarantor of obligations fulfillment by both sides of the deal (for a contractor as a guarantor of payment, and for a customer as a guarantor of honest and quality deal execution). Withdrawal of the blocking is performed in cases and on conditions signed by both parties. Feedback system Reviews can be left for both the performer and the customer, with attached photos and video files, GPS-location. Payment for transactions and guarantee amounts is possible in any of the cryptocurrencies.

Hacks, scams, and exploits are not nascent to the blockchain space; attacks cause projects and users billions of dollars each year creating opportunities for more ameliorate security solutions.  Just in the past 2 years, we've lost more than $16 billion in attacks in the blockchain industry, which is projected to double by the year 2026. Both projects and end-users want to protect themselves so we offer suites for both customers. The data portals are intended to be used by end-users to connect their wallets and receive access to risk dashboards. For projects, we offer affordable smart contract auditing and access to our API that stores historical time-series data and on-chain activity pertaining to Web3 attacks. Recently, we just received more validation from the blockchain industry by winning TRON Grand Hackathon. This global hackathon was comprised of over 2000 teams/devs competing all over the world. We tied in 3rd place for the DeFi category with SlowMist, a blockchain security company that started back in 2018.  What are we building? We’re an analytics tool for crypto end-users and an affordable smart contract auditing service for crypto projects. The goal of the data portal (analytics tool) is the track risk metrics associated with certain projects, i.e., doxxed project founders, # of audits, quality of documentation, existence period, chain, roadmap, etc. The data portal shows displays risk metrics that users would have garnered by doing “DYOR”. But the challenge is, that newcomers and even people who have participated in crypto for a while don't know what they don't know, and more importantly, don't know what specifics to research when discerning project risk. We took an academic and data analytic approach to this issue. We’ve democratized DYOR with a hint of analytics, de-risking users’ investment strategies. Why will we win? We’re an analytics platform for crypto end-users and projects; we’re a team of data scientists, DeFi analysts, developers, and cybersecurity specialists that have been in the blockchain industry for over 6 years. Our founder is a data scientist and machine learning engineer who has worked at NASA Goddard, Glenn Research Center, Langley Research Center, and Jet Propulsion Lab throughout college. Post-college, 2021, she worked at Maxar Technologies analyzing adversarial attacks deployed on NLP machine learning models and she worked in DeFi insurance. The ethos for why she began Rektify AI, was to attack the real issue in crypto, which is sifting out bugs in code for project development teams and bringing security tooling and education to end-users, rather than charging crypto users harsh premiums to be insured. Unfortunately, crypto has experienced a plethora of insanity by institutions/protocols orchestrating the same malpractices in traditional finance over and over again, and expecting a different result. This abuse and malpractice is not a secret to subsections of the blockchain industry and legitimate project development teams and their users need protection. One of our data-driven projects, REAL API, is the largest API of hacks, scams, and exploits in crypto powered by NLP. We showcased it briefly in our TRON Grand Hackathon proposal. Please check it out and like the DevPost link! What have we figured out so far? We’ve found product market fit on a small scale with 50+ independent crypto users (NFT collectors, DeFi investors, etc.) waitlisted for our user data portal and global project development teams outsourcing our smart contract auditing service. Goals The Gitcoin Grant will help support our development team. We are allocating 20% of the funds for decentralized storage credits, GPU credits, and data analytics subscriptions (Tableau, Rill Data). With the Gitcoin Grant, we will be able to hit our milestones faster so that our project roadmap is on-time. Lastly, this support will go to the development of our MVP showcased above. Our next goal is to garner 10,000 users on the waitlist and have 5-10% become beta testers.

How the brain is able to achieve hyper-computation, whereas traditional Turing machine based computers can not, is of critical importance to all of humanity and more specifically to all of science & engineering. This project's aim is to test the existence of a physical phenomena hypothesized to form the basis for hyper-computation in the brain. This physical phenomena is only possible if a universe exists testable by a proposed computing device whose model is beyond the Turing based paradigm. The proposed architecture is informed in part by prior work which found evidence from novel neuro-imaging techniques that led to a brief research period at CERN. What will the funding for this project provide? The funding for this project will provide for labor & materials to test a so far unexplored interpretation of reality, which if successful will enable efforts to develop a new computational model beyond Turing machine based architecture to scale. The labor component will comprise 6 fte optical scientists & algorithms engineers to work together for a period of 2-3 years developing a prototype computing device using the materials. The materials component will comprise optical & electronic equipment. The experimental validation will be to test whether or not the computing device can mine a block of bitcoin faster than otherwise possible.  Why is this project the right thing to focus on? This is the right thing to focus on because as Adam Becker highlights in his book 'What is Real?' a foundational question key to progress in Physics has been overlooked. All of humanity's conflict is attributed to how best to source, process and distribute resources. We don't believe such conflict is solve-able via organizational behavior. Only a breakthrough in devising a computational model beyond Turing which can elicit subsequent technological progress such that a paretotopian goal aligned outcome is possible can stave off likely catastrophe to come from resource conflicts on Earth. The proposed project to develop & test a proposed computational model beyond Turing is directly related to the foundational question Becker refers to. If successful, the experimental validation will provide for an indisputable marker that the device has reached supremacy and that the universe works in a retrocausal manner. If unsuccessful, the experimental result will provide for scientific knowledge that this path is not the way forward. If this project is successful, Cui bono? There is a large and growing library of algorithms for applications of breakthrough innovation like self-driving cars, AGI, CAD that exist but which cannot run because hardware capable of running them does not exist. The data volume and complexity of these workloads is beyond what is possible to today's GPU's and all forms of advanced Turing based compute. What is needed is a new computational model. If this project is successful, scientists and engineers who have developed such algorithms, and users of their resultant applications, would benefit. As well, scientific researchers working downstream from fundamental Physics would benefit, as if this model of computation works, it would say something specific about the foundational question in Physics referenced in Becker's book. How does this project fit with DeSci? This project fits within DeSci as all progress in science & engineering depends on a breakthrough at this level, without which desired applications elsewhere will not be possible as today's Turing machine based computers can't process information fast enough to deliver the desired applications. Further this project is unlikely to be funded elsewhere given systemic issues with how capital is allocated in scientific research. As well, all known other research efforts in this domain are failing.   MOTIVATION It's a little known reality that current forms of computing are limited in terms of ability to compute fast enough to solve problem types critical for continued technological progress. This issue is beyond what most people think of in respect to so-called Moore's Law. This issue is referred to technically as the Turing barrier and attempts to develop new computational models to move beyond Turing is a research domain technically known as hyper-computing.   IMPACT This area of research has high impact because all technological progress depends on a breakthrough in this research domain. Without which, all of science & engineering, not to mention the global economy, will be limited in terms of the types of applications which can be brought to bear. Thus the outcome trajectory of delivering such a breakthrough is either leveling up our species' place on the Kardashev scale or being faced with a evolutionary dark age with corresponding catastrophe to accompany such an outcome. When you evaluate where capital flows in this research domain, controlled for the theoretical perspective of the physics that needs to hold for these systems to work, you become alarmed to find that all capital is only going towards two of the potentially three ways to construct these systems.   GOAL Our proposal is based on an original discovery regarding how the brain achieves hyper-computation. This discovery led to a brief research period at CERN and we subscribe that the only way the observed phenomenon could be real is if a specific so far unexplored interpretation of physics is the way forward. We propose developing a new computing device whose successful computation would only be possible if this were true. The technical term for what we propose is known as counterfactual hyper-computing.   HISTORY & OTHER DETAILS Reaching the Turing barrier means no more technological progress, no matter the computational power available, which has known adverse outcomes in terms of economy and society, the effort to develop a new computational model beyond Turing is known as hyper-computing. These are classes of problems where even a universe sized computer, one composed of all the matter in the universe, that ran for the length of the universe, wouldn't compute fast enough (i.e. self-driving cars, AGI, classic traveling salesman problem, designing systems for more efficient space travel/energy/medical applications, etc.). In an effort to uncover inspiration for a new computational model, the PI developed software (30s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhRwpAA1KeA) which reconstructs a previously unseen pathway in neural communication validated by a reputable neural lab (https://thedaily.case.edu/discovering-a-new-form-of-communication-in-the-brain/). Using the software the PI was able to demonstrate that the electromagnetic field in neural tissue accesses quantum effects to perform hypercomputation (via analysis of recordings of resected rat cortical neuron slices under a pharmacologically induced sleep / wake model > synaptic pruning during slow wave sleep is known to be beyond what Turing computers can achieve). This work led to a brief time at CERN, given from the known critiques against quantum effects persisting in the brain (e.g. Tegmark re temperature & time), with an aim towards reviewing what interpretation would need to hold, for the prior observations to be real. Within hyper-computing efforts, when you evaluate where capital is allocated, controlled for the physics that needs to hold for those systems to work, you become alarmed that all the capital is only going to two of the three potential interpretations, which are proving to be difficult to scale (https://www.ft.com/content/6d2e34ab-f9fd-4041-8a96-91802bab7765). The PI proposes developing a counterfactual hyper-computer, whose computation would only work in a universe where the third so-far unexplored interpretation would be real, namely paradox-free retrocausality. The experimental test proposed is to see if computational supremacy can be demonstrated via bitcoin mining, given within computational complexity it's known the type of computer proposed would have unrivaled speedup. If this device becomes real the larger opportunity is to help broad applications in scientific engineering by enabling systems of linear equations at a level of complexity & data scale beyond what is possible with today's GPU's to be solve-able. The proposal involves a 2-3 year research project with 6 fte including the PI and includes a forecasted budget requirement of $5mm in US fiat. The implication, if this project is successful, would mean that quantum mechanics would be an emergent property of space-time, not unlike how it's been shown recently that electromagnetism is (https://sciencex.com/news/2021-07-electromagnetism-property-spacetime.html), which itself suggests that what the PI proposes is physically possible and achievable to engineer at a human scale (and within reason to suspect that the electromagnetic field in brains manipulate space-time), where otherwise it was thought that large masses would be needed to effect gravity at a level required in order to manipulate space-time. Recently Sir Roger Penrose has been public regarding his view that retroactivity is what imbues the brain with its computational abilities (40:59 to 55:05: https://youtu.be/L_o-86wYDp8?t=2459) which is consistent with the suggestion that the electromagnetic field in brain's manipulate space-time. Sir Roger Penrose has been public that whatever the secret to brain function is likely to be found in the ephaptic connections (3:43:48 to 3:48:00: https://youtu.be/L_o-86wYDp8?t=2459) which the referenced software reconstructed and was the source for the PI finding evidence for quantum effects persisting in the brain (suggesting the physical phenomenon sought in this experiment is the key to how brain's achieve hypercomputation). The proposed physical phenomena was first predicted by Gödel in some of his solutions to Einstein's equations, which has been discarded by the science community, although it is found in Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology. The proposed device would incorporate two parts that together would combine to elicit counterfactual computation: optical loop ring resonator using lasers & mirrors to elicit falaco soliton across time (2:05 to 2:10 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnbJEg9r1o8). recursive brute force algorithm (8min video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCnz4GxNd_M). Here is a presentation for the proposed project (with corresponding additional links): https://www.beautiful.ai/player/-NB9TV4QniFKmUfuzyxR Here is a 60 min talk the PI gave in 2019 reviewing his research path to arrive at the proposal: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kJ4Achi2DZmVa2hZsaYbraakeAP6ZGSP/view It must be noted that the general science community is likely to find this proposal laughable, however to our mind we argue that it is not absurd to investigate an equally absurd possibility (in regards to the foundational implications of a working hyper-computer). The gitcoin opportunity has potential for high impact given it's unlikely for this project to receive funding otherwise given systemic issues with how capital is allocated in scientific research On the scale of humanity, one would assume given the importance of moving beyond Turing, that we would leave no stone unturned.

Our marketplace will offer a broad range of courses, not just web3 education. BlockVersity also provides a much fairer compensation to course creators by giving them back ownership of their content and monetization terms. We could summarize BlockVersity as being Udemy meets Shopify and OpenSea. To students, we offer verifiable non-transferable Proof of Skills Our team seeks a grant to conduct further user research and to continue building our open-source MVP.  Why is now a good time?  E-learning had overtaken traditional learning, even before Covid, which accelerated the movement, and every year millions of people buy online courses. NFTs are becoming mainstream users can even connect their wallets to Instagram and Facebook to post NFTs. Many course creators are on Instagram and will soon get very excited about having their own NFTs to sell their courses; BlockVersity will give them this opportunity. Initially, we will focus on on-demand online courses; however, BlockVersity sees a future where education ownership will gradually shift away from centralized institutions, allowing teachers and instructors to profit directly from their teaching. After all, IP is owned by teachers and instructors, not institutions. As a DAO, BlockVersity plans to launch its own token for our community members to get a share of the marketplace and have a voice in its governance, another motivation for course creators to join BlockVersity. BlockVersity is founded and led by women. We are a globally diverse team with members from across the USA, India, Nigeria, Australia, and New Zealand.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/linetousignant/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anurupasinha/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/selina-graham/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sally-hodges-12068990/ Why would web2 online course creators and their students move to web3? The problem for Course Creators. On average, course creators selling online courses on Web2 marketplaces receive only 30%-35% of their sales; they don’t control the price and can’t connect with their students other than through the marketplace. Moreover, these marketplaces offer real community where creators can connect, share, and even co-create courses, at best, they offer forums. Problem for Students The web2 version of online education has been helpful for personal upskilling, but these skills are not seen as valuable to the employment marketplace. This is due to course certificates, when available, being non-verifiable and only recognizing course completion rather than proof of skills. Solution/Product for Course Creators BlockVersity is a DAO community that supports an NFT marketplace.  BlockVersity aims to empower thousands of global Course Creators by giving them to keep the lion’s share of their sales and by providing a platform where they can build a strong community with other instructors and students. Solution/Product for Students The missing element from current online learning has been a lack of credible certification. When available, it is non-verifiable and recognizes course completion rather than proof of skills. Our platform will allow course creators to deliver Proof of Skills NFTs to solve this problem for all students.

It is based in a large, free roam city map, with graphics similar to GTA. Greed's central P2E mechanics evolve around a player-edged casino, backed with a PVP risk-to-earn environment. Greed's first mint, the apartments, consists of 3333 ownable apartments scattered throughout the map. Within the apartments, players get access to a player-edged casino where they have the edge against the house in the long run. But, in order to deposit their earnings they must leave their apartment & travel to the bank located in the center of the city. Players who do not own an Apartment now have the ability to rob them on the streets, taking a portion of their earnings. Essentially, when a player is killed, a percentage goes to the robber and a percentage goes back into the ecosystem. Using a proper map layout, player proportions, & percentages we aim to create the first-ever sustainable player-edged casino & a closed P2E ecosystem on the blockchain, all while creating a game of AAA quality.

Phase I of WeSeed is a citizen social science project that will be carried out in Raleigh, North Carolina. As a citizen social science project, the study portion of tokenization formation will be led by a social scientist and a research team that will systematically study how community members view their own food needs and resources.  The research team will tap community knowledge to apply community-informed food solutions. WeSeed will partner with organizations already doing work on the ground, who have wisdom about the community. These partnerships will be key to the WeSeed research team's relationships with the community. The partnerships will be key to the WeSeed team's capacity to collect data that reflect the community's stared needs. These meaningful data will help build a robust, tokenized system around seed banking, gardening and community asset mapping. These assets include the  food itself,  critical relationships that give people access to food,  critical infrastructure that give people access to food and  rights to decide their own access to food. This project addresses two major concerns driving regenerative finance projects: biodiversity (in locally grown fruits and vegetables) and social justice (in community-driven solutions for food sovereignty). By Phase III, WeSeed will have built a tokenized co-op to give people living in food apartheids in Raleigh consistent access to the nutritious foods they want. .  _____ Phase I of WeSeed lays the foundation for a system of growing, harvesting and purchasing locally grown foods for current and future generations.   It is important to understand how local families and communities in Raleigh, North Carolina see their relationships to the supply of and demand for food.  Local organizations, already doing food sovereignty work in the community will put WeSeed in touch with 5 families/meal groups for fact-finding sessions to discover the facts of each family's access to healthy food. These fact-finding meetings will be actual meals with people who live with food Insecurity.  WeSeed will record these fact-finding sessions, transcribe the recordings and analyze the transcripts for themes about what people believe they need to meet their nutrition needs and what solutions people want for themselves.   The findings from this phase will support the success of Phases II (strategically developed seed library of Indigenous fruits and vegetables). Phase III (strategically planted gardens, a co-op for harvested produce and a tokenized community asset map of these gardens).  The community asset map will be a technology application that hosts a layered Geographical Information Systems (GIS) map. Layers will show:  Food needs (food and logistics) identified by families Food solutions (food and logistics) identified by families  Harvest timelines of existing crops (community has access to) and crops planted through this program Harvest-to-market transportation  Grocers and other food vendors  Schools (science classes) - Data will be made available for science projects Participating places of worship  Participating colleges and universities  Agricultural extensions  ",2022-09-04T18:29:47.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7545,False,False,0xe295b7DebcdCA58B2690Eb447855a5EaEF8191E9,"SmoothDiscovery ,a platform for discovering fair,transparent and decentralized token price.",https://gitcoin.co/grants/7545/smoothdiscovery-a-platform-for-discovering-fairtr,"Introduce SmoothDiscovery is a platform for discovering fair,transparent and decentralized token price.

Batch auctions are a fair pricing method that has been battle tested in traditional finance. Some of its uses include everyday Open auction in the NYSE, Direct listings, as well as in IPOs. How Batch Auctions Work: 1.In batch auctions, the participants are one auctioneer and multiple bidders. 2.The auctioneer determines the auction's sell price and limit price. The sell price is the amount of tokens the auctioneer would like to sell and the limit price is the minimum price they are willing to receive for the asset. 3.Once the auction starts, bidders can participate by placing their bids through limit orders, specifying an amount and a limit price. 4.The auction runs until a certain date.The auction ends after the closing date. No more bids can be placed afterwards. 5.At the auction clearing, the auction settles the final clearing price which is the price where the supply line and demand curve intersect. 6.The clearing-price will be the final clearing price for all participants. 7.The auctioned tokens will be sold at the clearing price to bidders who specified a maximum price in their limit order which is greater than the final clearing price. 8.Bidders who specified a maximum price in their limit order that is less than the final clearing price do not receive the auctioned tokens. But for sure, they can still withdraw their bidding tokens from the auction. Anyone can utilizee SmoothDiscovery to conduct a token auction subject.

Our Slogan Individual’s views are ignored in recorded history. However, History should not be just about the thing but also the thought. Our opinion is a part of things. Saving our views, emotions, likes and dislikes permanently equals capturing the moment forever. With internet and blockchain, it is possible for experience and thoughts of our current era to reach far into future. That is, time fades, but views live on. That’s why our slogan is Long live our opinion. We Need Better Tooling The following comment widgets are popular. Disqus https://giscus.app/ (Github discussion) twikoo.js (Self hosted) https://utteranc.es/ (GitHub issue) https://github.com/gitalk/gitalk (GitHub issue) There are some obvious problems with these tools. The data does not belong to the person who made the comment or obtained it. Accounts in centralized services, like GitHub, may be banned due to geopolitics. Self-hosting on a server has cost and technology barriers. ECHO is designed to solve these issues. Each comment will be uploaded with signature of user. Wallet and data can’t be deleted or modified. It is an out-of-the-box solution. Key Features Decentralization Decentralization consists of three aspects: decentralized authorization, decentralized data and decentralized front-ends. Users sign into ECHO with a decentralized wallet. It means you can sign and upload data to Arweave with and without using a front-end page. The related SDK will be released as open source later. Arweave is a decentralized solution for archiving data. We will provide multiple official gateways and open source our codebase. We also encourage the community to set up your own gateways. Any gateway will synchronize valid data uploaded by other gateways. Our front-end code has been deployed to ipfs. You can use any ipns gateway to visit our widget. Besides web3 products, we encourage non-web3 or non-dweb products to use our widget. Opinion Aggregation ECHO uses target_uri to identify the comment target. We have designed a set of url schema to identify different objects. Users may comment on the same object, such as a NFT, on different websites and apps, but as long as the target_uri is the same, the corresponding comments will all be displayed. The followings are some examples of schema. dweb/ipfs/{cid} // ipfs page dweb/ipns/{path} // ipns page database/imdb/{imdb} // movie database/isbn/{isbn} // book https://{path} // http url Multi-chain Login and Tip ECHO supports MetaMask (EVM chains) and Phantom (Solana). If you log in with MetaMask, we will retrieve and display reverse record and avatar of your ens or .bit. The comment target of the following widget is https://0xecho.com. Fee The price to store data on Arweave is less than $2.5/1G at this point (2022-09-01), which is cheaper compared to annual fee of Amazon S3 in the long run. The data in ECHO is lightweight text-based. We use Arseeding to upload data to Arweave regularly. Each user gets 200 uploads per day for free. If there are changes we will inform you. These free uploads are able to cover most people’s daily use. You will feel at ease just like using Web2 apps, when you make comments or thumb-ups via ECHO. Also, to avoid abuse, a wallet with non-zero balance is required. Out-of-the-box Solution The iframe embed widget is easy and hassle-free to get in our website. Modules are configurable. Theme color is configurable. DID to receive donations is configurable. (.bit and ens are supported) ",2022-09-05T02:44:02.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7555,True,False,0x027FB871101a865E0e3440a78aA073BE85763C5B,Allow next 10 million ENS users on-ramp with fiat purchase,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7555/allow-next-10-million-ens-users-on-ramp-with-fiat,"【Problems we target】 ENS is now widely recognized as having won the race for being the Web3 identity standard. However, compared with some other Web3 IDs, ENS might still be too difficult for most users who are just starting to understand blockchain and Ethereum transactions. These users are interested in having their ENS name but it will be the first time they actually make a transaction on Ethereum chain. It is likely that their prior exposure to Ethereum is limited “investing” in ETH via a Centralised Exchange.  The current ENS registration system has some prerequisite that some users will find difficult. They are (1) Difficulties in acquiring an Ethereum:  Under certain circumstances there are no ways to get Ether easily. For example in some countries, ETH is hard to purchase with fiat. Some centralised exchanges also take some time to send out ETH to new wallet address as part of a security limitation. Therefore, some users don't even have the ether token required to register an ENS name. (2) Difficulties in having a wallet： For a lot of new comers, they even haven’t had their wallet yet, which is a must to hold their ENS names. Also they are not familiar with the usage of the wallet as well as the process of having a wallet. Therefore, this situation becomes a huge entry barrier for users to register an ENS name. There is also a large learning curve to keep your wallet secure.  (3) Difficulties in understanding the registration process: Current ENS registration process is not familiar to users who are used to most online apps. Most users are more familiar with a Godaddy or shopping cart process for web2 domains and do not understand why there is a two step process or gas fees or wallets involved. For these users, gas fees are also perplexing as they do not understand why the cost can be different each time. (4) Difficulties in finding the desired available names:  Current registration platform only supports users to search names one by one. Also a lot of names are already registered now by squatters. Therefore it is very inconvenient and time consuming for new users to find an available name that fits their demand.  【Our solution】 We want to solve the above pain points and help more users to have their desired ENS names without hassle. Our service helps users to buy their ENS domains in 24 hours at a fixed price in USD. We assume the users are familiar with domain or online purchases but this is their first blockchain purchase. Buy.ensdom.com allows customers to use a familiar process to find, choose and register their chosen ENS names.  Through our website, users can choose the ENS name they want to register, check out through their own credit card/PayPal and wait for our confirmation email after we’ve actually sent your name on your wallet or in our custody wallet.  We hope that this will onboard more users into exploring more with Ethereum chain and other dApps. 【Our value for ENS Ecosystem】 We focus on accomplishing the followings for ENS : (1) Usability - improving the user experience Our website comes in very handy for the users because they can purchase their desired .eth names without having to worry about the gas fees nor having a wallet. There is nothing more convenient than actually buying your .eth name in just a few taps using only your credit card. Even people who lack understanding and knowledge about the requirements of purchasing their own ENS name can easily have their own .eth names by using our site.  (2)Community - growing the ecosystem By lowering the threshold of users’ having their ENS name, we can let more newcomers join the ENS community, thus growing the whole ecosystem and boosting the community and interest in ENS. It is likely ENS will be their first experience with the blockchain and we hope to welcome them via an easy to understand process. 【Future Development Plan】 With the grant, we can build a better website with a powerful search function to help users find and register available names more easily.  Our ideal plan is that after users enter and search the name they are interested in, we will provide them with a list of names that looks similar to their searched item and meanwhile show their availability status. After the search, users can directly click into the available name and register the name immediately through our service.  Thus, people will neither have to worry about having ETH nor the troublesome ENS registration process and bulk research.",2022-09-05T03:19:59.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7556,True,True,0xC80438fc7B0332a13507E9B72Cf65c3fB1c27849,"the THING , a Web3 DApp for Democracy",https://gitcoin.co/grants/7556/the-thing-a-web3-dapp-for-democracy,"THING is a DApp for running and scaling democratic operations of groups. By providing tools to organise and hold transparent, fair and legitimate votes, THING seeks to expand, reinforce and protect democratic organisations and civil society on the planet. Users can create organizations in a web app and other users can register for these organizations. Members of organizations can create or participate in internal voting. They can create profiles, connect, form groups or write posts. This privacy focused, easy to use app is made for non-technical users. All members have the same access to its functions and elections are auditable. Lightpaper (PDF)   The Problem Traditional NGOs, clubs, local initiatives, political parties and other democratic organisations, suffer from slow scaling, asymmetric information distribution and manipulable voting. These challenges put at risk their functioning, the participation of their members and their impacts.   1.     Slow scaling: it takes an immense amount of resources and time to scale from a new political group into an influential political party (or any other organisation). 2.     Asymmetric information distribution: very often, organisations still run themselves like 100 years ago with mandatory on site events and voting. Pyramid-like structures emerge, with local groups moving up through delegates in higher groups to a few decision-makers at the top. Information (e.g. majority opinions, discussions) remains in the groups and is not distributed equally throughout the organization. Organization-wide consensus initiated from the bottom up may be difficult or impossible to achieve. 3.     Manipulable voting: the higher someone is in the structure, the easier it is for that person to control the pivotal players below them by using her / his power and resources. People in power can also control rules and format for communication and voting (e.g. how, when and where voting or an event takes place). Thereby they can influence election results or conversations in their favour.   The solution THING addresses these issues by providing the following features: §  Fast, simple & privacy focused authentication and decentralised ID (to address problem 1) §  User friendliness and simple pre-set voting options (blockchain tech hidden) equally accessible to all members (to address problem 1) §  Profiles, posts, comments, groups (to address problems 1 and 2) §  Standardised, anonymous & auditable voting (to address problems 2 and 3)   More specifically, this React web app with blockchain backend will offer: §  Authentication functions e.g. with tel. no. (possible technology: DID w/ KILT / Litentry) §  Social media functions (possible technology: subsocial / DSNP) §  Voting functions (possible technology: data on IPFS / arweave & contracts on Phala / Astar / Moonbeam)   The innovation Our research shows that no similar solution is currently available on the market. While different features are available separately, no solution provides them all together.   The market THING is being developed for groups such as new and existing political movements, political campaigns (e.g. running for a seat in congress) and civil society organisations of all sizes. We estimate that in geographical Europe only, there are 7.5 M potential political activists / organisers starting a group. We estimate that 750 K existing groups (clubs, associations, …) could use THING. We assume these groups to have roughly 75 M members in total. We need to validate these estimates through a detailed market analysis.   The roadmap The concept is now finalised. We are working on a light paper and user research to deliver a prototype by the end of November. THING will then be fine tuned for different types of organisations in the EU and outside. Once up and running, THING will be managed by an independent foundation running as a DAO.   Who we are We are a bunch of web3 enthusiasts from different backgrounds with a genuine interest to support civil society and democratic processes. We are now in the incubation program “Polkadot Relayers 2022” and we are seeking support and funds to build a prototype. The grant will help us continue our work and hire technical experts and developers.

As children are still longer out of school, we are witnessing a greater risk that the poorest among them have never returned to school. It has come with intended consequences as so many children are still at home roaming the streets even after school re-opening. We are experiencing increased cases of violence, child labour, child marriage, and mental well-being. Funding for this project will also help us to build classroom and sanitary facilities in various rural communities in Enugu State who have dilapidated classroom blocks. This project will be implemented in partnership with our local nonprofit organizations working in children's education. Challenge: Most of the women and young girls living in Enugu State lack basic skills and education for income generation. Their dependency on handouts from men through transactional sex makes them vulnerable to social abuse, sexual exploitation, unwanted pregnancies, HIV/AIDS infection and domestic violence as they attempt to get their basic needs. This makes their children vulnerable. Solution: When the school closed in March 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we expected that every child will return back to school but it never happened. 18.5 million, 10.5 million are girls in Nigeria who never returned to school. We need them back to school to learn with others. There are increased cases of violence and child labour as they continue to roam the streets. Together, let us vulnerable children get back their happy lives by helping them access education as well as reduce child violence and labour.\nSelf-sustained children will be an asset to their families and the community. Children being back to school will enhance their career dreams and propel them to take up community and national leadership roles as others. What we have achieved as an organization: Since its inception in 2016, Helpers Social Development Foundation has been working to implement problems that may prevent children from gaining access to education. We have impacted over 3700 lives through the support of our donors and volunteers. We have built sanitary facilities and distributed free school supplies in public schools to ensure underprivileged children stay in school. October 20221, we established a nursery and primary school in Oji-River due to the growing number of out-of-school children in Nigeria. Our school Helpers Foundation nursery and primary school Oji-river offer 100% free education to out-of-school children. \n\nSupporting our mission will help us to build classroom blocks and distribute free school supplies in public schools to ensure underprivileged children stay in school. 100% of your donations to our organization go to charity. Why You should support us? Thank you for your contribution to our vision for a better society. The implementation of this project will start on 15th October 2022. Follow our Twitter handle: Twitter to see what we achieved with your support. Help us to write inspiring stories on how crypto web3 can alleviate poverty in Africa. Use our organization as a case study on how we established a free school for underprivileged children through crypto donations. Continues supporting our organization's mission will help us to reach more children who do not have hope to survive. Funding this project underprivileged in Enugu State has access to education. Helpers Social Development Foundation is one of the leading nonprofit organization's in Africa impacting lives through cryptocurrency donations.

Some translators choose to Arabize the term, or type it with Arabic alphabets, so it sounds the same and maintains its global familiarity. But due to Arabic’s phonetic complexity, the word Blockchain can be spelled in either one of eight different ways: (بلوكتشين، بلوكشين، بلوكتشاين، بلوكشاين، بلوك شين، بلوك تشين، بلوك شاين، بلوك تشاين). Other translators tried to translate the word by searching for an Arabic equivalent. The most common translation today is (سلسلة الكتل), which translates back to English as ‘A Chain of Blocks’, more of an explanation than a translation. But why is translating to Arabic this tricky? One way to approach this question is by comparing Arabic to Latin. At its peak, Latin was spoken to one extent or another across all of Europe, and the different European peoples started producing their local iterations from Latin, which developed with time to constitute new branched languages. While Arabic went through a similar phase of popularity, political and cultural reasons dictated that Arabic shall remain one language with multiple dialects, and that these dialects shall not grow into new different languages. Today, one can argue that Moroccan Arabic and Saudi Arabic for instance are less intelligible than Italian and Spanish, however Moroccan and Saudi Arabic are treated as two dialects of the same language, while Italian and Spanish are considered to be two languages. This is one major source of headache when it comes to translating to Arabic. We need to find a translation that works with people of different linguistic practices, a task that feels like coming up with a ‘European’ translation of the word Blockchain, one that works across the whole of Europe. The lack of a unified reference for translating blockchain to Arabic has been causing a myriad of issues. On one hand, it created a linguistic bottleneck, keeping most of quality blockchain content away from mono-lingual Arabs. On the other hand, without a standardized way to spell or translate essential keywords, SEO efforts targeting Arab readers will be significantly compromised. The cost of translating blockchain content to Arabic remains high, as businesses end up developing their own glossaries throughout the translation process, which was the case with both the Ethereum Foundation and Binance. These de facto glossaries, while filling a gap, can in fact, and unintentionally, amplify the problem by introducing translation dispersion, where one term has two translations in two different glossaries, and translation biases, such as regional bias, where a translation is better understood in one part of the Arab region over the rest. Translation difficulties tend to lead to deeper issues, such as lack of proper blockchain literacy, both on technical and general levels, which allows for more misinformation and stigma around the technology and its uses. That’s why it’s no wonder that MENA (Middle East & North Africa), a region that houses over 570M residents, remains one of the slowest regions in terms of blockchain and crypto currencies adoption in the world. In a nutshell, this is why AbjaDAO exists! AbjaDAO is a guild-type special purpose DAO, it’s named after the Arabic alphabet, which is usually abbreviated as ABJAD (similar to ABC). AbjaDAO brings together four MENA-based blockchain-focused initiatives, around a plan to develop a decentralized and unified Arabic blockchain glossary. Our DAO includes representatives from ZeFi, a 40-people strong research and media project specialized in Arabic blockchain content. ZeFi were working on their own expansive dictionary when AbjaDAO came together, and they shared with us hundreds of translated and explained terms to use as a cornerstone. The DAO also includes Arabs in Blockchain initiative, founded by Eman Herawy, an Ethereum fellow who played a leading role in translating Ethereum to Arabic. Tafkir, a research and public goods center that conceived AbjaDAO, bringing to the table experienced academic and literary translators. And DocStream, a collective of editorial and translation service providers that serve the British Council amongst other clients. Together, and joined by individual experts and consultants, we conceived a plan to develop a unifying glossary for Arabic blockchain terminology. We began by surveying a large body of blockchain literature to extract a list of nearly 1,400 terms, words and abbreviations. We are currently working on sorting these terms by frequency of use, and grouping them into thematic patches. In parallel, we are conducting a series of workshops to settle on translation philosophy and approaches. If you are an Arabic reader, you can track our progress on both tracks here (Listing and Patching Table, Translation Philosophy). In the next phase of the project, we will conduct 4-hour workshops bringing together 7 translation experts from within and outside the DAO. Those translators will tackle a thematic patch of terms in every workshop, submit their different translations, and settle on the best translation through discussion or voting. But translation is only half the answer. The other half would be propagation. For our translations to get picked up and start replacing former dispersed translations, we plan to follow the release of the glossary with a propagation campaign, aiming at having the glossary adopted by: 5 Arab colleges, 2 mainstream and 10 alternative pan-Arab media outlets, 25 blockchain-focused social media pages and influencers and 5 Arabic UI / UX websites or apps. We also plan to set up a Wikipedia grant, motivating translators to bring 20 essential blockchain pages to Arabic, using our glossary through translation. The glossary will be a public good, and accessible to all for free. We hope to publish the first version of the glossary with 600-1000 terms translated, sometime before the end of the year (for a more detailed timeline, check our presentation!). After the initial release, we plan to update the glossary on 6-9 months intervals. So far, we have received funding from the Solana Foundation through Tafkir, we also received logistical support from the Ethereum Foundation, who are sharing with us their own glossary to use as a point of reference.

We also plan to set up a Wikipedia grant, motivating translators to bring 20 essential blockchain pages to Arabic, using our glossary through translation. The glossary will be a public good, and accessible to all for free. We hope to publish the first version of the glossary with 600-1000 terms translated, sometime before the end of the year (for a more detailed timeline, check our presentation!). After the initial release, we plan to update the glossary over 6-9 months intervals. So far, we have received funding from the Solana Foundation through Tafkir. We also received logistical support from the Ethereum Foundation, who shared with us their own glossary to use as a point of reference. But we need further funding to see this project through.

Some translators choose to Arabize the term, or type it with Arabic alphabets, so it sounds the same and maintains its global familiarity. But due to Arabic’s phonetic complexity, the word Blockchain can be spelled in either one of eight different ways: (بلوكتشين، بلوكشين، بلوكتشاين، بلوكشاين، بلوك شين، بلوك تشين، بلوك شاين، بلوك تشاين). Other translators tried to translate the word by searching for an Arabic equivalent. The most common translation today is (سلسلة الكتل), which translates back to English as ‘A Chain of Blocks’, more of an explanation than a translation. But why is translating to Arabic this tricky? One way to approach this question is by comparing Arabic to Latin. At its peak, Latin was spoken to one extent or another across all of Europe, and the different European peoples started producing their local iterations from Latin, which developed with time to constitute new branched languages. While Arabic went through a similar phase of popularity, political and cultural reasons dictated that Arabic shall remain one language with multiple dialects, and that these dialects shall not grow into new different languages. Today, one can argue that Moroccan Arabic and Saudi Arabic for instance are less intelligible than Italian and Spanish, however Moroccan and Saudi Arabic are treated as two dialects of the same language, while Italian and Spanish are considered to be two languages. This is one major source of headache when it comes to translating to Arabic. We need to find a translation that works with people of different linguistic practices, a task that feels like coming up with a ‘European’ translation of the word Blockchain, one that works across the whole of Europe. The lack of a unified reference for translating blockchain to Arabic has been causing a myriad of issues. On one hand, it created a linguistic bottleneck, keeping most of quality blockchain content away from mono-lingual Arabs. On the other hand, without a standardized way to spell or translate essential keywords, SEO efforts targeting Arab readers will be significantly compromised. The cost of translating blockchain content to Arabic remains high, as businesses end up developing their own glossaries throughout the translation process, which was the case with both the Ethereum Foundation and Binance. These de facto glossaries, while filling a gap, can in fact, and unintentionally, amplify the problem by introducing translation dispersion, where one term has two translations in two different glossaries, and translation biases, such as regional bias, where a translation is better understood in one part of the Arab region over the rest. Translation difficulties tend to lead to deeper issues, such as lack of proper blockchain literacy, both on technical and general levels, which allows for more misinformation and stigma around the technology and its uses. That’s why it’s no wonder that MENA (Middle East & North Africa), a region that houses over 570M residents, remains one of the slowest regions in terms of blockchain and crypto currencies adoption in the world. In a nutshell, this is why AbjaDAO exists! AbjaDAO is a guild-type special purpose DAO, it’s named after the Arabic alphabet, which is usually abbreviated as ABJAD (similar to ABC). AbjaDAO brings together four MENA-based blockchain-focused initiatives, around a plan to develop a decentralized and unified Arabic blockchain glossary. Our DAO includes representatives from ZeFi, a 40-people strong research and media project specialized in Arabic blockchain content. ZeFi were working on their own expansive dictionary when AbjaDAO came together, and they shared with us hundreds of translated and explained terms to use as a cornerstone. The DAO also includes Arabs in Blockchain initiative, founded by Eman Herawy, an Ethereum fellow who played a leading role in translating Ethereum to Arabic. Tafkir, a research and public goods center that conceived AbjaDAO, bringing to the table experienced academic and literary translators. And DocStream, a collective of editorial and translation service providers that serve the British Council amongst other clients. Together, and joined by individual experts and consultants, we conceived a plan to develop a unifying glossary for Arabic blockchain terminology. We began by surveying a large body of blockchain literature to extract a list of nearly 1,400 terms, words and abbreviations. We are currently working on sorting these terms by frequency of use, and grouping them into thematic patches. In parallel, we are conducting a series of workshops to settle on translation philosophy and approaches. If you are an Arabic reader, you can track our progress on both tracks here (Listing and Patching Table, Translation Philosophy). In the next phase of the project, we will conduct 4-hour workshops bringing together 7 translation experts from within and outside the DAO. Those translators will tackle a thematic patch of terms in every workshop, submit their different translations, and settle on the best translation through discussion or voting.

Today, one can argue that Moroccan Arabic and Saudi Arabic for instance are less intelligible than Italian and Spanish, however Moroccan and Saudi Arabic are treated as two dialects of the same language, while Italian and Spanish are considered to be two languages. This is one major source of headache when it comes to translating to Arabic. We need to find a translation that works with people of different linguistic practices, a task that feels like coming up with a ‘European’ translation of the word Blockchain, one that works across the whole of Europe. The lack of a unified reference for translating blockchain to Arabic has been causing a myriad of issues. On one hand, it created a linguistic bottleneck, keeping most of quality blockchain content away from mono-lingual Arabs. On the other hand, without a standardized way to spell or translate essential keywords, SEO efforts targeting Arab readers will be significantly compromised. The cost of translating blockchain content to Arabic remains high, as businesses end up developing their own glossaries throughout the translation process, which was the case with both the Ethereum Foundation and Binance. These de facto glossaries, while filling a gap, can in fact, and unintentionally, amplify the problem by introducing translation dispersion, where one term has two translations in two different glossaries, and translation biases, such as regional bias, where a translation is better understood in one part of the Arab region over the rest. Translation difficulties tend to lead to deeper issues, such as lack of proper blockchain literacy, both on technical and general levels, which allows for more misinformation and stigma around the technology and its uses. That’s why it’s no wonder that MENA (Middle East & North Africa), a region that houses over 570M residents, remains one of the slowest regions in terms of blockchain and crypto currencies adoption in the world. In a nutshell, this is why AbjaDAO exists! AbjaDAO is a guild-type special purpose DAO, it’s named after the Arabic alphabet, which is usually abbreviated as ABJAD (similar to ABC). AbjaDAO brings together four MENA-based blockchain-focused initiatives, around a plan to develop a decentralized and unified Arabic blockchain glossary. Our DAO includes representatives from ZeFi, a 40-people strong research and media project specialized in Arabic blockchain content. ZeFi were working on their own expansive dictionary when AbjaDAO came together, and they shared with us hundreds of translated and explained terms to use as a cornerstone. The DAO also includes Arabs in Blockchain initiative, founded by Eman Herawy, an Ethereum fellow who played a leading role in translating Ethereum to Arabic. Tafkir, a research and public goods center that conceived AbjaDAO, bringing to the table experienced academic and literary translators. And DocStream, a collective of editorial and translation service providers that serve the British Council amongst other clients. Together, and joined by individual experts and consultants, we conceived a plan to develop a unifying glossary for Arabic blockchain terminology. We began by surveying a large body of blockchain literature to extract a list of nearly 1,400 terms, words and abbreviations. We are currently working on sorting these terms by frequency of use, and grouping them into thematic patches. In parallel, we are conducting a series of workshops to settle on translation philosophy and approaches. If you are an Arabic reader, you can track our progress on both tracks here (Listing and Patching Table, Translation Philosophy). In the next phase of the project, we will conduct 4-hour workshops bringing together 7 translation experts from within and outside the DAO. Those translators will tackle a thematic patch of terms in every workshop, submit their different translations, and settle on the best translation through discussion or voting. But translation is only half the answer. The other half would be propagation. For our translations to get picked up and start replacing former dispersed translations, we plan to follow the release of the glossary with a propagation campaign, aiming at having the glossary adopted by: 5 Arab colleges, 2 mainstream and 10 alternative pan-Arab media outlets, 25 blockchain-focused social media pages and influencers and 5 Arabic UI / UX websites or apps. We also plan to set up a Wikipedia grant, motivating translators to bring 20 essential blockchain pages to Arabic, using our glossary through translation. The glossary will be a public good, and accessible to all for free. We hope to publish the first version of the glossary with 600-1000 terms translated, sometime before the end of the year (for a more detailed timeline, check our presentation!). After the initial release, we plan to update the glossary on 6-9 months intervals. So far, we have received funding from the Solana Foundation through Tafkir, we also received logistical support from the Ethereum Foundation, who are sharing with us their own glossary to use as a point of reference. But we need further funding to see this project through. To support our DAO or learn more on our progress, you can download this presentation.

Too many Uniswap V3 Liquidity Providers lose money. Approximately 40-45 percent of the positions are out of range, resulting in no fee generation. Moreover, Uniswap still lacks the capabilities necessary to rebalance or restructure positions for many possible usages. These are critical factors to consider, but LPs frequently forget about them, incurring in more risks. We feel that the ecosystem lacks the tools necessary to properly analyze and address these challenges, making concentrated liquidity a complex activity that does not fully realize and express its potential. Orbit enables to quickly deploy, automate, combine and monitor structured strategies with total flexibility, abstracting away any operational complexity for any token pair and ranges. It is an automation layer that allows users to easily define and execute liquidity operations across several protocols. Our mission is to become the go-to platform for concentrated liquidity, giving users the possibility to deploy and automate complex strategies for managing liquidity, both in and out of range, with the aim of solving all the aforementioned problems. Orbit works with a Smart Vault model: users own a smart contract that is used as an account to handle tokens, that can then be connected to other protocols to allow for automatic allocations. It is centered around three main features: Autocompound: this feature allows the user to automatically swap and reinvest fees sitting idle in the Uni v3 position, maximizing the APY on the idle fraction of the different users’ positions; Autorebalance: this feature allows the user to put an out-of-range position back into the range so that it is possible to never stop earning fees; Idle Liquidity: this feature allows users to boost yields by exploiting idle liquidity in other protocols (such as Aave). These first features can be used on an unlimited number of positions and token pairs at once. With this Grant we will accelerate development and integration with more and more protocols, in order to give further flexibility to users and enable them to create delta-neutral strategies and hedge against Impermanent Loss.

This system can be forked by any DAO and used in their discord to help determine who is reputable in what area within it. Why? How are actions legitimized? This question lies at the core of governance. Within the DAO space, and in democracies at large, this question is usually addressed with voting – quadratically weighted or not. However, in our extremely technical world, our ability to exercise good judgment about a specific topic vastly differs between us. Reputation can be thought of as the collective judgment about a certain person or organization’s ability or trustworthiness on a certain topic within a certain context. Thus, reputation systems could aid legitimation processes by offering a supplement to voting-based mechanisms. Indeed, the legitimation process underpinning peer-review is to a large extent reputation-based. Papers with lots of citations become reputable, and that paper’s successive citings are thus granted further legitimacy. One could imagine what the world of science would look like if the legitimacy of papers was entirely the subject of a permissionless vote. However, the current paradigm of online reputation systems are almost exclusively built on scalars. This is problematic, as much is lost when our multifaceted skills, abilities and relationships are collapsed into uni-dimensional social credit scores. Multi-dimensional reputation systems offer an alternative. With language models, we have the ability to create such systems from textual interactions that capture the nuance list in scalars, and thus help us determine trustworthiness and legitimacy contextually within a social group. How?   Replabs is building tools for DAOs and communities on Twitter that can be used to determine contextual reputation.   Replabs is also doing qualitative research on how well these tools and algorithms match the subjective experiences of the participants within the communities. These qualitative findings will be summarized in a technical paper.   What?   More information about how the grant money will be used can be found here.

Non-Fungible Castle (NFC) 2021 was a community building event hosted at the Lobkowicz Palace in Prague Castle that bridged the traditional art world with the Web3 community to see how they can enhance, engage, and challenge one another. The event included an international conference exploring how blockchain technology can be incorporated into cultural heritage practices and a free temporary NFT exhibition hosted in one of the most visited cultural landmarks in the Czech Republic featuring original NFTs created by House of Lobkowicz as well as by contemporary artists. The exhibition demonstrated how technology can be used not only to enhance the viewer’s experience with art, but also to see elements that are not visible in the real world.  The success of NFC, which was also featured on the Unchained Podcast, demonstrates a use case for cultural institutions to increase accessibility, deepen relationships with a broader community of patrons and creators, and establish a creative platform to raise restoration funds. The exhibition received hundreds of visitors daily and the event welcomed over 200 attendees from all over the world. To that end, NFC returns for its second edition.  Non-Fungible Castle (NFC) 2022  This year’s event explores how blockchain technology can be used to rediscover, share, and preserve cultural identity. Along with the NFT exhibition and international conference, a large component of this year's NFC will include an interactive cultural program inviting participants to immerse themselves in culture and history while exploring new applications of blockchain technology in the real world. We wish to enrich this experience with additional funding that will allow us to apply different tools that increase accessibility of NFTs and Web3 (for example creating wallets for event attendees), while continuing to pioneer, demonstrate, and educate audiences about the many use cases of blockchain technology.  Conference The conference will offer a dynamic forum convening thought leaders and tastemakers to discuss how the art and crypto worlds can engage with one another to shape the future of blockchain technology and cultural preservation. Leading experts in Web3 and the art world will explore a variety of topics and questions, including investing and building in the Web3 space, curation and sales in the Metaverse, and legal and regulatory implications. Our goal is to facilitate a broader conversation around blockchain technology and its applications in the art and philanthropic worlds. Exhibition The exhibition is inspired by the remarkable story of world-renowned Czech composer, Antonín Dvořák, who demonstrated an exceptional ability to distill the identity of a culture to a singular work of art. Using Dvořák as a guiding force to create, international artists are invited to meditate on their personal cultural identities through different forms of artistic expression. The aim is not only to educate audiences about the significance of Dvořák, but also celebrate the cultural stories that define who we are and connect us to one another. The exhibition will also display original NFTs created by House of Lobkowicz.  Interactive Cultural Experience The interactive cultural experience will offer a dynamic program inviting visitors back in time to Nelahozeves, the birthplace of Antonín Dvořák. There, they will be immersed in Czech traditions, engage with the sights and sounds that inspired Dvořák’s influential body of work, and reconnect to their cultural roots—all through real world experiences enhanced by blockchain technology.  Our goal is to facilitate a broader conversation around blockchain technology and its applications in the art and philanthropic worlds. By bringing together experts and visionaries from all sectors, we aim to build a growing community of people who value cultural preservation and the innovative possibilities of blockchain technology to make a positive impact in the world. We hope our efforts will help people see the value of blockchain technology beyond JPEGs, asset ownership, or serving as a basis for speculation.

This project addresses population ecology, social and acoustic behavior, habitat use and movements of Lahille’s bottlenose dolphins along Uruguayan oceanic coast.  Since 2018, Yaqu Pacha Uruguay has collaborated with Brazilian researchers in the Gephyreus Project. The goal of this project is estimating the total abundance of Lahille's bottlenose dolphin in southern Brazil and Uruguay and assessing its risk of extinction (founded by Yaqu Pacha Alemania, total granted 2021 for Uruguayan counterpart $5000). Our last project (2021-2022), funded by Eccosur (https://eccosur.org/, grant received: $10.000 USD) was “Lahille's bottlenose dolphin the coastal sentinel: tourism, environmental education and integrated management”. This project involved a vulnerability analysis of climate change effects on Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin, as well as a promotion of the species as a sentinel and flag species of the Uruguayan oceanic coast. We engaged educators and schoolchildren in various areas of the country, mainly on the coast, tourist operators and other local actors in environmental education activities to increase their awareness of the problems faced by the coastal system due to the effects of climate change and in particular, to see their effects on the Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin.  In Uruguay, the Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin population is small (approximately 70 individuals), has a restricted distribution and is extremely coastal. It also has a high residence of photo-identified individuals, and high mobility tiwaters of the Río de la Plata estuary and southern Brazilian waters, where there is a high mortality in artisanal fishing nets. In addition, this population belongs to the same management unit and evolutionary unit with the dolphins from southern Brazil, showing low genetic diversity. Due to all of the above, the dolphin was included in the list of priority species for the conservation of the National System of Protected Areas of Uruguay. The results of the investigations also contributed to the recognition of this dolphin as a subspecies and for its evaluation by the IUCN in the Vulnerable category. Although very little information exists on possible direct and indirect threats to the subspecies in Uruguayan waters, contamination from agricultural effluents could be a source of concern due to the pollutant load detected in other marine organisms in areas of high occurrence of Lahille’s Bottlenose Dolphins. Reduced prey availability caused by overfishing and destruction of benthic ecosystems due to fisheries are other possible threats for the subspecies in Uruguay. Incidental capture of Lahille’s Bottlenose Dolphins in fishing gear in Uruguay is rare. However, in the last 2 years at least five animals were recorded  stranded, two of them with bycatch signs from fishing nets located 300m from the coast (“subsistence fishery”). Our main priorities are: To resume systematic boat surveys between La Paloma and Punta del Diablo (principally Esmeralda-south to Cabo Polonio) for photo-id and acoustic records. Catalogue update. Population monitoring To make a new abundance estimate on the Uruguayan coast as well as other population parameters (survival, births interval, movement patterns, residency).  To get in depth about effects of Climate Change in dolphin’s occurrence and distribution.   To test hypotheses regarding occurrence of dolphins and coastal upwellings. To continue coordinated efforts with Brazil, focusing into whistle analysis, specially of signature whistles and catalog construction, social structure analysis and individual movement analyses. To start studies regarding contaminants levels in tissues of dolphins. To biopsy samples for genetic, social structure and forging ecology studies. To include anthropological perspective for historical data of occurrence of Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin in Rio de la Plata Estuary. To monitor mortality (Stranding network) To promote citizen science: records of dolphins by citizens  all along the Uruguayan coast (https://www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/f4521a13d27045909d4d994d82a872c8). To keep visiting local schools in order to engage schoolchildren in environmental education activities. To keep raising awareness of the effects of climate change on the Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin population and the importance of conservation of the coastal marine ecosystem.

This project addresses population ecology, social and acoustic behavior, habitat use, and movements of Lahille’s bottlenose dolphins along the Uruguayan oceanic coast.  Since 2018, Yaqu Pacha Uruguay has collaborated with Brazilian researchers in the Gephyreus Project. The goal of this project is to estimate the total abundance of Lahille's bottlenose dolphin in southern Brazil and Uruguay and to assess its risk of extinction (founded by Yaqu Pacha Germany, totally granted 2021 for Uruguayan counterpart $5000). Our last project (2021-2022), funded by ECCOSUR (grant received: USD 10.000) was “Lahille's bottlenose dolphin the coastal sentinel: tourism, environmental education, and integrated management”. This project involved a vulnerability analysis of climate change effects on Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin, as well as a promotion of the species as a sentinel and flag species of the Uruguayan oceanic coast. We engaged educators and schoolchildren in various areas of the country, mainly on the coast, tourist operators, and other local actors in environmental education activities to increase their awareness of the problems faced by the coastal system due to the effects of climate change and in particular, to see their effects on the Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin.  In Uruguay, the Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin population is small (approximately 70 individuals), has a restricted distribution, and is extremely coastal. It also has a high residence of photo-identified individuals, and high mobility waters of the Río de la Plata estuary and southern Brazilian waters, where there is high mortality in artisanal fishing nets. In addition, this population belongs to the same management unit and evolutionary unit as the dolphins from southern Brazil, showing low genetic diversity. Due to all of the above, the dolphin was included in the list of priority species for the conservation of the National System of Protected Areas of Uruguay. The results of the investigations also contributed to the recognition of this dolphin as a subspecies and for its evaluation by the IUCN in the Vulnerable category. Although very little information exists on possible direct and indirect threats to the subspecies in Uruguayan waters, contamination from agricultural effluents could be a source of concern due to the pollutant load detected in other marine organisms in areas of the high occurrence of Lahille’s Bottlenose Dolphins. Reduced prey availability caused by overfishing and destruction of benthic ecosystems due to fisheries is other possible threats for the subspecies in Uruguay. Incidental capture of Lahille’s Bottlenose Dolphins in fishing gear in Uruguay is rare. However, in the last 2 years, at least five animals were recorded stranded, two of them with bycatch signs from fishing nets located 300m from the coast (“subsistence fishery”). Our main priorities are: -To resume systematic boat surveys between La Paloma and Punta del Diablo (principally Esmeralda-south to Cabo Polonio) for photo-id and acoustic records. Catalog update. Population monitoring -To make a new abundance estimate on the Uruguayan coast as well as other population parameters (survival, birth interval, movement patterns, residency).  -To get in-depth about the effects of Climate Change on dolphin occurrence and distribution.    -To test hypotheses regarding the occurrence of dolphins and coastal upwellings. -To continue coordinated efforts with Brazil, focusing on whistle analysis, especially of signature whistles and catalog construction, social structure analysis, and individual movement analyses. -To start studies regarding contaminant levels in the tissues of dolphins. -To biopsy samples for genetic, social structure, and forging ecology studies. -To include an anthropological perspective for historical data on the occurrence of Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin in Rio de la Plata Estuary. -To monitor mortality (Stranding network). -To promote citizen science: records of dolphins by citizens all along the Uruguayan coast -To keep visiting local schools to engage schoolchildren in environmental education activities. -To keep raising awareness of the effects of climate change on Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin population and the importance of conservation of the coastal marine ecosystem. -To explore blockchain technology's potential to build up shared databases of photo-id and whistles catalogs between other research groups working on dolphin population ons.

Our collective sensemaking and epistemic commons are broken to such an extent the ability of our societies to coordinate in the face of existential crises is severely impaired. For more details, see our paper and video here. One key cause is that the mechanisms for collective signalling (likes, comments, hashtags, and other forms of social annotation), and the algorithms that drive our collective behavior therefrom, are siloed away by centralized platforms whose primary incentives of corporate profit are misaligned with broader societal good. These signals are a form of stigmergy, a foundational coordination mechanism in which individual signalling (such as pheromone trails in ants) drives emergent collective intelligent behavior. The vital importance of stigmergic signals (or markers) to the health of our information ecosystems raises the question: what if not just our content, but our attention signals (aka stigmergic markers ) could be published in a decentralized form on a scale that would make interesting emergent innovation possible? Algorithmically-aided collective behavior (e.g., sensemaking and collective intelligence applications) would then be available to anyone for experimentation, opening the door to impactful applications, as well as better scientific and ethical oversight over collective behavior. Herein we propose to: Create a schema/protocol for publishing such signals and providing open, decentralized and platform-agnostic access to them. Bootstrap a large decentralized near-real-time corpus of annotation signals from existing social behavior, initially via Twitter’s API. Create reference implementations of the kinds of open source attention applications made possible, e.g. aggregation of annotations to specific URLs, quality / reliability indicators for web content.

The protocol aims to provide an automated stablecoin mechanism, with minimization of control and human influence, which brings decentralized and algorithmic money to the entire space of the blockchain. Atmos includes 2 tokens in the protocol ecosystem: Atmos token ""ATM"" and Atmos stablecoin ""aUSD"". The protocol design distinguishes the following features: Fractional-Algorithmic Model aUSD - an automated, fractional-algorithmic token with a floating/unbacked supply, meaning that the part of the supply is backed by the collateral and a part stays algorithmic. Atmos Protocol issues aUSD, which attempts to target a particular price index ($1 value), using a targeting mechanism. If aUSD is trading at above $1, the protocol decreases the collateral ratio. If aUSD is trading at under $1, the protocol increases the collateral ratio. More references: https://www.stakingrewards.com/journal/can-an-algorithmic-stablecoin-survive/ https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2022/05/25/stable.html On-chain Oracles Atmos uses dynamic TWAP (time-weighted average prices) and on-chain oracles. Dual Tokenomics aUSD is partially backed by the ATM - a share token of the Atmos protocol, which endows holders with the following utilities: governance, revenue sharing, fee accumulation, and yielding rewards. Minimized Governance As long as aUSD offers a highly autonomous, algorithmic approach with no active management, having bugs or governance vulnerabilities. Atmos Protocol’s Autonomous Workflow: Roadmap (till 2022) Place in the Aurora ecosystem The key strategic partnerships are: Flux Protocol - a cross-chain oracle providing smart contracts with economically secure data. Since Atmos is an autonomous protocol that delivers stablecoin with the fractional-algorithmic model as a product, we need to get the reliable and correct price data feed. Router Protocol - an infrastructure for cross-chain communication. Atmos Protocol will integrate Router's Widget to give our users an option to perform cross-chain transactions directly from Atmos dApp’s UI. Aurigami - a decentralized, non-custodial lending protocol. Atmos AMO — Automated Market Operation will automatically deposit up to 85% of idle USDC collateral into Aurigami's USDC lending pool. Trisolaris - № 1 DEX on the NEAR's Aurora EVM. Atmos Protocol will deploy main liquidity pairs on the Trisolaris DEX at the launch. The liquidity mining event will be available via Trisolaris pools from day 1! Those strategic cooperations will confidently lead Atmos Protocol to the MVP release with the all-needed functionality and recognition among other protocols in the entire Aurora blockchain space. $ATM Token Economy All the utility in the Atmos Protocol is concentrated in Atmos (ATM) token. ATM - is the governance token in the Atmos ecosystem which plays a significant role in the protocol autonomous operation: The supply of ATM is originally fixed at 100 million tokens at genesis, however, the number in circulation is anticipated to be deflationary as aUSD is minted at increasing algorithmic ratios. The protocol is designed in such a way that ATM supply would be primarily deflationary as long as aUSD demand will grow. ATM Distribution The greater amount of tokens will be distributed into the market through the liquidity mining program and will reward liquidity providers for their contribution. The total ATM supply - 100,000,000 units. Community (75%) 75,000,000 ATM will be distributed among various liquidity mining programs / farming / staking. The ATM emission is not set at a fixed rate for the whole distribution period and it can be changed by adjusting new rates through the governance proposals. Public Offering (10%)* 10,000,000 ATM are reserved for the public sale event which will be held before the protocol launch. Distribution has a design of linear vesting terms. Treasury (15%) 15,000,000 ATM are reserved for the Treasury. Distribution has a design of linear vesting terms.

We asked traditional organizations for help but they declined. Web3 is making this documentary possible, which has become a part of the story itself. Our documentary educates communities about predatory practices used by traffickers and lays a blueprint for Nigerians to collaborate with Web3 to address local issues.  The Problem: A Human Trafficking Crisis in Nigeria Human trafficking is defined as the illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain, constituting modern-day slavery. As of 2014 human trafficking represented a $150 billion global industry. Two-thirds of this figure ($99 billion) was generated from commercial sexual exploitation. Nigeria remains an origin point, throughway, and destination country for human trafficking. Recent estimates suggest victims number over 1,386,000, ranking Nigeria in the 81st percentile compared to other countries. A 2003 report stated trafficking was so enmeshed in Benin City, Nigeria that most families had at least one member involved in trafficking as either a victim or trafficker.  The long history of trafficking associated with this area in Nigeria persists to recent years. In 2017 over 75% of women migrants arriving in Italy were both victims of sexual exploitation and hailed from Edo State, which contains Benin City. Victims of human trafficking experience horrific violence and hardship both on their journey to their destination country, and also when they arrive. Advocacy group Pathfinders reports individuals are abused physically, gang-raped, and infected with various sexually transmitted diseases.  The U.S. State Department categorizes the Nigerian government as attempting but ultimately failing to comply with accepted standards for eliminating human trafficking. Rejected By Trad Organizations, Embraced by Web3  A group of Nigerian journalists led by Existential Zoomer set out to investigate human trafficking, highlight methods for prevention, and suggest how social programs can help survivors heal.  When we reached out to traditional organizations in Nigeria to solicit funding for a documentary they declined, saying human trafficking is a “heavy topic.” Additionally, acknowledging human trafficking can be seen as indirectly critiquing the government and therefore carries political risk.  Thus we turned to Web3 and found financial and technical support in PeopleDAO. Seed funding of $7.7k allowed us to travel to Benin City in early June and produce an initial report capturing the stories of survivors and analyzing the factors contributing to human trafficking.   Crowdfunding a Documentary Building on the momentum, we aim to produce a feature-length documentary, The Lost Children of Benin City, bringing attention to the social problem of women and children being trafficked in and out of Nigeria. We have partnered with a production company, Singularity Media, which has experience placing content on major streaming platforms.  Web3 itself has become part of the story, because it provided us the support when traditional organizations would not. Nigerian art-makers cite a lack of interest and patronage from international players. Our documentary will expand the imagination of global audiences, providing the blueprint for more international collaboration to produce content about Web3’s relationship with Africa.  Additionally, we will use the documentary to “sensitive” Nigerian communities, both urban and rural, teaching them about how to avoid tactics employed by human traffickers. In showing them the documentary we simultaneously affirm to Nigerian communities that Web3 holds value beyond being a medium for financial capital, but can also act as a vehicle for garnering support and creating social impact.  We hope you will consider funding this effort.",2022-09-05T18:35:59.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7597,True,True,0x1953fCeF1369df610B2407dBe5a4190535284D47,"Scriptus, a marketplace for research as collectible art",https://gitcoin.co/grants/7597/scriptus-a-marketplace-for-research-as-collectibl,"What is Scriptus? Scriptus is a marketplace for research as collectible art. From the researchers' perspective, Scriptus offers a drop-in replacement of traditional pre-print hosting platforms (e.g. arxiv.org), that also enables researchers to receive additional research funding with zero overhead (i.e. no gofundme page or additional grant proposals needed).  For supporters of science, Scriptus offers a direct channel for them to support the research that they care about. Unlike donating to traditional non-profit scientific organizations, where only a fraction of the dollar donated goes towards researchers (the rest goes towards running the non-profit), when people support researchers on Scriptus, 100% of their money goes directly into the researcher's wallet. No more haircuts from intermediary institutions.  Additionally, Scriptus provides a marketplace for people to trade their donations. This market mechanism enables two important functions. First, it injects long-term liquidity into the science funding infrastructure. Put simply, Scriptus makes it possible for future donors to support today’s scientific research. Secondly, it offers price discovery for research impact: higher impact research will receive more interest from supporters of science, and the market mechanism will drive the price higher. This price will in turn allow researchers to uncover higher impact papers more easily.  How does Scriptus work?  Researchers upload papers to Scriptus the same way as they do on traditional platforms, and Scriptus will in turn mint N-shares of fractional NFTs that represent that research project. Once the paper is uploaded, the content of the research is free for everyone, regardless of who owns the NFTs that represent the paper. Then, the researcher can list the NFTs for sale on the Scriptus marketplace, where supporters of science can discover and support the research project by purchasing the research NFT. Owners of existing research NFTs can also resell it anytime, effectively providing liquidity to science funding during the period of their ownership. Why is Scriptus potentially impactful?  We are excited about Scriptus because we think it can solve/improve the three causes of the stagnation we see in science today: long-term liquidity issue in science funding, misallocation of research funding and effort, and increased science friction. We had already briefly discussed how Scriptus enables long-term liquidity provision of research, and reduces science friction by making high impact research more visible. Scriptus additionally will help incentivize meaningful and important research by aligning the interests between researchers and the public. Traditional science funding sources are either highly influenced by special interests (i.e. industry funding typically focuses on narrow areas pertinent to the company’ product), or plagued by a very noisy and inefficient selection process. As a result, high impact projects are not being funded, and the selection process for grants and publications are weakly correlated with quality. By providing a direct channel between the public and the researchers, Scriptus allows the public to loudly voice their opinion on the most urgent research that needs to be funded first.  For a more complete discussion of how Scriptus will accelerate the science progress, see https://github.com/ScriptusApp/whitepaper/blob/main/part1.pdf for our whitepaper. Who are we?

Gitcoin and Upala integration In short Upala and Gitcoin integration looks as follows. Upala grabs users from GC passport, outputs liquidated bots and evaluates human verification methods. Gitcoin sends funds to it (like a service fee), tries to attract as many bots as possible and uses collected data to tweak trust bonus and sanction malicious actors. Inputs: Users. Users are fed from Gitcoin Passport. Upala learns which addresses have which verification methods passed. $$. Budget is allocated in pools in order for the protocol to work. Outputs: Bots. The list of liquidated bots. Sanctions to be applied to these users (should be restricted or deleted from Gitcoin). HV PoFs. Price of Forgery for every human verification method.

Pode Crer is already running until December 2022. Pode Crer is free, but many of the students come from very poor families and face a dilemma between studying and working to help their families - $45 is extremely impactful and helps keep students in the program until completion.  What is the Pode Crer program? Pode Crer (name after a portuguese expression that literally translates to ""one can believe"" but on daily use means something like ""right on!"") is a new technology and leadership education program tailored to bring youth from Brazilian marginalized communities into the knowledge economy. It is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute, an organization with a 40-year history of grassroots work focused in education, creating opportunity, promoting inclusion in the challenging social context of Brazilian marginalized communities. Today the Vilson Groh Institute supports a network of 8 educational and social organizations that reaches 6000 students and supports 20000 people. Pode Crer is the synthesis of these 40 years of experience into a scalable educational methodology. Pode Crer has an innovative integrative educational approach that blends technology, citizenship, communication and leadership skills.  In 2021 the program ran with 320 participants, and in 2022 with 300 participants across three educational tracks for ages 11-14, 14-18 and 18+. Over the next years the Vilson Groh Institute envisions building five Social Innovation Centers across marginalized communities in the greater Florianópolis region. These will serve as hubs for consolidation and expansion of the Pode Crer program, and as laboratories for incubation of social projects and experimentation. Pode Crer 2021 Impact  320 students participated in the 2021 iteration of Pode Crer. Of 200 students aged 14+, over 66 got job opportunities, 37 of them in technology, and 7 students were admitted to public universities. In marginalized communities this kind of impact is life changing - many participants never used a computer before. These are youth whose default career path would be to join drug trafficking, or at best low paying unskilled jobs. We are in talks with a Brazilian researcher from J-PAL (Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab) interested in doing rigorous impact evaluation and writing an academic study that will inform public policy in Brazil and the world.  If excess funds are raised, they will be directed for the 2023 implementation of Pode Crer, which is budgeted  at USD 250k (BRL 1.2M) but currently faces funding uncertainty due to the elections in Brazil. If more than USD 250k are raised, the excess funds will be directed towards the construction of the first social innovation center, which is budgeted at USD 1.2M (BRL 6M). If even more is raised, we will continue building social innovation centers, we already have the location for the first 5 selected.

Pode Crer is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute, a Brazilian nonprofit with a 40-year history that coordinates and supports a network of eight schools, educational centers and social organizations in the Greater Florianópolis region that reaches 6000 students and impacts over 20000 people. The institute’s focus is on social justice and uplifting marginalized communities in Brazil through education. Pode Crer is a new complementary education program and methodology created to shape the future of Brazilian education and society. It aims to prepare students to be engaged leaders in society and active participants in the knowledge economy. Pode Crer implements a new educational approach and curriculum that blends technology, citizenship and communication. It is underpinned by the development of leadership skills in students, tested in the challenging social context of Brazilian marginalized communities, where the program is implemented.  Pode Crer currently takes place in the city of Florianópolis, in the south of Brazil. Is divided into three educational tracks for ages 11-13, 14-17 and 18-24. The pilot program took place in 2021 with 320 young people in a hybrid format. In May 2022, its second iteration began, in a fully face-to-face format, with 300 young people, some of whom participated in 2021. Pode Crer is free and open for all. The long-term vision of Pode Crer is to provide complementary education from birth to university age. To enable this vision and to serve as hubs for the implementation and growth of Pode Crer, five Social Innovation Centers will be created across the greater Florianópolis region in locations close to partner organizations. These centers will have state-of-the-art infrastructure to offer all the educational tracks of Pode Crer continuously. The first center is planned to open by 2023 in the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis, where Vilson Groh lives, and to completely reinvent the community's image. It will feature a maker space, computer labs, classrooms and workshops, auditorium, library, co-working spaces and social spaces. About the Vilson Groh Institute Pode Crer is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute,  a Brazilian nonprofit that  coordinates and supports a network of eight schools, educational centers and social organizations in the Greater Florianópolis region. The institute’s focus is on social justice and uplifting marginalized communities in Brazil through education. The Institute and its partner organizations have a long history of success creating new educational programs serving marginalized communities and vulnerable populations in the most challenging situations in Brazil, in the midst of urban misery and violence. Because of this long experience and its institutional management capacity, the Vilson Groh Institute and its partner organizations are in a unique position to create, operationalize, and refine bold new educational initiatives for Brazil.  This network of organizations was built over 40 years of work by Vilson Groh and many other engaged individuals in marginalized and impoverished communities. At the age of 22 Vilson moved to the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis and never left. Now 68 years old and going strong, Vilson Groh’s vision and passion have blossomed into a network coordinating about 400 volunteers from all social classes. Their primary focus is on education and creating opportunities for young people in vulnerable situations.  I Summary of impact the past 10 years In addition to Pode Crer, the Vilson Groh Institute operates several other social programs that are primarily focused on youth, education, culture, community support, and family support. They reach deep into very violent communities and over years have radically changed and improved the lives of many people heavily involved with drug trafficking, violence, dysfunctional families, and lack of social and economic opportunities == An average of 4800 people took part in the institute’s programs each year == Over 7M meals offered == About $110 mean monthly investment per children in school programs == 1500 children current enrolled in full time education across partner organizations == 1000 children currently enrolled in part time education across partner organizations == 2200 families supported per year == An average of 300 volunteers each year == 225 university scholarships were provided == 450 people admitted to university after preparation courses == 2100 youth got their first job after training Social impact reports (in Portuguese) with detailed numbers between 2013 to 2021 are available at https://www.redeivg.org.br/relatorios-sociais/ The big picture problem We want to break the cycle of urban misery, violence and deliberate exclusion in Brazil through an innovative complementary education targeting vulnerable youth, and to provide an example that can be replicated across the country and serve as an example for other nations.  Global urban misery, violence, subhuman living conditions and extreme inequality was caused by growing population coupled with fast and disorganized urbanization in the developing world over the past 100 years: The fraction of global urban population went from 15% to 60%, and global population went from 1.9B to 7.8B people.  Brazil is one of the most unequal countries in the world, and one of the most extreme cases of rapid and completely disorganized urbanization: total population went from 30M to 212M, and urban population from 15% to 85%, with 40 times more people living in cities today than 100 years ago.  The thorny problem of urban misery interwoven with violence and extreme inequality is most emblematically represented by the images of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro amid the backdrop of luxury condos, but the dynamic is consistently repeated across every major city in Brazil. We have a scalable program,Pode Crer, now in its second pilot year, that achieves this by equipping youth with technical and socio-emotional skills to participate in the knowledge economy, and we have the capacity to scale it: across 8 organizations in our network we have over 40 years of experience and dozens of educational programs that reach over 6000 students and impact 20,000 people in communities across the greater Florianópolis region in Brazil.  Creating an inclusive knowledge economy and a society of leaders The Pode Crer program and methodology aims at nothing less than reinventing basic education in Brazil, and consequently the future of the country's human development. The strategy is to begin this transformation through complementary education, where it is possible to innovate, iterate and be bold. Pode Crer operates in the opposite period to the public school system (in Brazil classes happen in mornings or afternoons only) and is therefore free from many of the shackles of the education system. Pode Crer develops fundamental elements that are absent in the public education system and aims to become such a shining example of success that other educational organizations will copy it, and eventually shape the public education system itself.  While Pode Crer is currently implemented in three educational tracks for students aged 11 to 24 years old, the long term vision is to continuously guide students from one track to another, and to be expanded to offer complementary training from kindergarten to university.  The curriculum has three foundations: technology, citizenship, and communication. They were designed to prepare the student to actively participate in the knowledge economy, which demands skills that are not part of the Brazilian education system.  Beyond just technical skills, the fundamental element important is the ability to work well with people. Developing autonomy, communication and teamwork for working in a creative and dynamic environment demands emotional intelligence, awareness and self-confidence. These are elements that form the foundation of leadership, explicitly developed and improved by CEOs and executives, but typically ignored in other contexts. Creating an inclusive knowledge economy that is not insular and elitist requires developing these elements in all individuals as part of the educational system. This means creating a society of leaders. The full development of a knowledge economy also requires a society with functioning institutions and high levels of interpersonal trust. In Brazil these elements are still fraught and often absent. The country has institutions that are an important foundation but are still young and fragile. It is necessary to change Brazil's pervasive culture of corruption. This culture manifests itself through a generalized mindset of trying to get ahead of others, usually by skirting the rules or disregarding what is public and common. It is necessary to inculcate civic mindedness into every Brazilian, and a genuine regard for everything that is common, shared and public.  When implemented on a national scale, Pode Crer will be paving the way in Brazil for the creation of a society of leaders with an inclusive knowledge economy - something that still does not truly exist anywhere in the world. The creation of an inclusive knowledge economy is the only sustainable way of closing the great social gaps in Brazil. In an economy where everyone actually participates, it is not necessary to permanently resort to assistance programs or income redistribution.  Current plans: Creating 5 Social Innovation Centers The plan for the growth of Pode Crer in the near future is the creation of multiple Social Innovation Centers throughout the greater Florianópolis region, in communities where the Vilson Groh Institute operates. These centers will be structures built close to partner educational organizations that have already implemented or will implement Pode Crer educational tracks.    The first center will be built in the community of Monte Serrat.. It will be built on land given over for 30 years, alongside a partner school. It will have an amphitheater for events, an interactive library, a coworking space, a music studio, a maker space, classrooms and computer labs. Its construction is budgeted at 6 million reais (1.2M USD). About 20% of the resources for its construction are already secured.  After Monte Serrat neighborhood the next two centers will be built in the Monte Cristo neighborhood in Florianópolis and at Ponte do Imaruim in Palhoça. The first is home to CEDEP (https://cedeponline.com.br), a popular and experimental education center that has 30 years of experience with complementary education. CEDEP carries out innovative educational experiments with vulnerable youth based on the philosophy of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. The second location is home to the AJPII elementary school (https://ajp2.org.br/), where the Pode Crer track 1 pilot takes place (11 -13 years).  Location and proposed design of the first social innovation center in the community of Monte Serrtat in Florianópolis, Brazil.  If you were given $500M what would you do?  With $500M we would have a 25x more ambitious 10-year plan: Instead of 5, we would create 125 social innovation centers in marginalized communities (favelas) across Brazil. These centers will be hubs for Pode Crer, our new complementary education program created to prepare vulnerable and marginalized youth for the knowledge economy. Pode Crer launched in 2021 and currently serves 300 students across two communities aged 11-24, being free and open to all.  Pode Crer is a new educational approach tailored to Brazilian reality that blends civics, technology and leadership, equipping youth with technical and socio-emotional skills to participate in the knowledge economy. It is based on over 40 years of experience working with marginalized communities across 8 educational organizations reaching 6000 students.  Because Pode Crer is a complementary education program (running in the opposite shift to schools) it is free of constraints of the Brazilian school system. We can innovate and iterate rapidly.  The first center will open in 2023. Each center costs $1M to build and $500k per year to operate in full. A center can serve 600 Pode Crer students and reaches about 5000 community members. Each center is planned to be staffed by 12 educators and 8 support staff.  We have the institutional capacity to operate and grow Pode Crer. We are bottlenecked by fundraising. We are confident that if we have the money we can train and grow our team of educators by 50% each year. With $5M we could have these 5 centers built and operational by 2027. With $500M we would aim to create and operate 125 centers across Brazil by 2033. Instead of just the ​​Florianópolis region, we would like to influence educational policy and reshape education in Brazil.  We are talking with the Stanford University “Lemann Center for Educational Entrepreneurship Innovation in Brazil” to create studies about Pode Crer. Our goal is to put out rigorous studies to guide policy and pave the way to grow across Brazil.  The city of Medellin in Colombia has a successful “smart city” experience that informs our vision. Since the 1990s over different governments they were able to drastically reduce violence and improve life quality by re-urbanization and creating community centers in strategic locations. There are two main differences: First, our approach starts from a focus on lifelong education, while in Medellin it started from a re-urbanization plan. Second: In Medellin action started from the city government and engaged civil society, while we are starting from civil society and engaging multiple city governments.  Crucial partners we need to engage are local governments. We have deep ties with civil society in the Florianópolis region, and we work with 3 other different city governments. We believe that cities across Brazil will be receptive to our experience. Investment in our programs can be done in tranches. If we receive $5M today in a few years we will have multiple centers operating and conclusive results to support further investment in 3-4 years.  If Pode Crer was ultimately successful and fully implemented, how would the world be different?  If we truly succeed, then every one of the 50 million youth in Brazil aged 18 and under will have access to lifelong complementary education shaped after the Pode Crer approach. That means education tailored to their local realities, that teaches a civic mindset, and to equip them with the technical and socio-emotional skills needed to thrive in the knowledge economy.  We have a long term vision of lifelong education, and want to support people from birth to adult age. We are looking beyond the 10 year plan outlined for the $500M, which would reach  an estimated 75k Pode Crer students and 625k people across the 125 social innovation centers. A 25 year horizon would be more coherent with the scale of our vision. To have such a broad impact we need to influence education policy at the city, state and national level in Brazil. We believe we can do that in two ways. First by publishing rigorous academic studies that show to policy makers the efficacy of our educational approach and enabling evidence-based policy making - we are already talking with the Lemann Center at Stanford to create such rigorous studies.  Second, by having each social innovation center serve as a reference for how to implement the program and adapt it to a new community, and as a hub for training educators and program managers. We believe that as soon as the first center is completed in 2023 this will happen, and we will be ready to assist organizations outside our network on how to implement our approach.  If we truly achieve our vision, then we will have an integrated society, city center and urban periphery will not be segregated and stigmatized. We will have broken with the vicious cycle of obscene urban exclusion that occurs in Brazil. We will have achieved this by creating an inclusive knowledge economy in Brazil. That is to say, a society in which every individual in working age is able to participate in the knowledge economy. Currently this doesn’t exist in any country yet, because participation in the knowledge economy requires significant training that only relatively few elite workers have, making their labor extremely valuable. This inequality in training leads to significant social and economic inequality, as is becoming more evident every day across the US and in particular in Silicon Valley, where technology workers command salaries far higher than any other industry.  In his book “​​The Knowledge Economy”, Harvard Brazilian scholar Roberto Mangabeira Unger describes the knowledge economy as insular and exclusive, and he advocates for a new kind of educational system in Brazil geared towards enfranchising people to participate in it. We believe Pode Crer is exactly that, and we are working every day to consolidate and grow the program.  If we succeed then rather than be marginalized, every community in Brazil will be empowered  to solve their own problems, and be able to leverage modern technology. Instead of squandering youth to drug trafficking and violence with no human development, we will create a society of leaders with a civic mindset and an understanding of the powerful technologies they have at their disposal to improve the world. This will start with local communities, but it will grow: these empowered leaders will become more and more active participants in society, from companies to civic organizations to local, state and national governments. That kind of civic engagement is what Brazil needs and what we wish to foster through lifelong education with a long term vision.  We expect that our experience will serve as a template for other countries. The world would be different because through education and opportunity, underprivileged communities would be the protagonist of their rise from misery and poverty. Not big companies, not governments, but individuals themselves will have the sense of agency, the confidence, and the skills to do so.  What bottlenecks is keeping us from quickly scaling Pode Crer? Immediate funding needs: USD 250k to guarantee operations for 2023 Because of the election year, there is very high uncertainty that we will be able to secure funds from CAIXA, the federal bank that funded Pode Crer in 2021 and 2022 with 1M BRL ($200k). Going beyond the minimum: scalable growth with social innovation centers Pode Crer was designed for scalable growth, with plans to create 5 social innovation centers to serve as hubs of the program in communities where the Vilson Groh Institute already operates. Each center is designed to serve up to 1000 Pode Crer students and reach 20.000 people. A center costs $1.2M to build and $300k/year to operate in full with 12 staff, and features a maker space, computer labs, classrooms and workshops, auditorium, library, co-working spaces and social spaces.  To make things happen faster, the strategy is to raise private money to build the first centers quickly while securing government support for ongoing operational costs. If money is secured the first center can be made operational in 2023. Operating Budget - currently $250k/year for 300 youth The 2022 implementation is supported by a team of 21 people, including educators, social workers, pedagogues and administrators. The budget for 2022 is R$1.2M (250k USD). Today Pode Crer is implemented as two weekly meetings in the morning or in the afternoon, in classes of up to 25 students who have classes and workshops on two topics a day.  The primary bottleneck for immediately scaling Pode Crer is money, the 2022 budget is $250k and the program runs two days a week with 300 students total. Because we are only able to hire the educators as part-time staff, we could readily double the capacity of the program if we had twice the money ($500k) and reach 600 students total. In the current two-day-a-week format, a team of 4 educators working full-time could serve 400 students on each educational track. To offer the program 5 days a week to 400 students, a team of 8 educators would be required. Currently, the two biggest limitations for the Program are financial resources to hire the entire team as full-time staff (many can only be paid part time), and physical space for the program's activities. It is possible to double the reach of the program with the current team and twice the financial resources, with an yearly operating budget of R$2.4M (about 500k USD). Student support scholarships ($40/mo) Another challenge that we face is keeping students in class and getting some families to not pressure students to leave class to seek work, which is common with the vulnerable students from marginalized communities. Students on tracks 2 and 3 receive an allowance of R$200 (USD 40) per month during the program. This allowance is fundamental to incentivize them and their families to focus on studies rather than procuring work to supplement family income.  Physical space and locations The secondary bottleneck is location and physical space, getting to the classroom is challenging for many students, even with financial support for transport that we offer. Currently, Pode Crer is implemented in two locations due to the availability of spaces in two partner organizations and 3 educational tracks for ages 11-13 (track 1), 14-17 (track 2) and 18-24 (track 3). Tracks 2 and 3 are implemented in the city of Florianópolis and track 1 in the city of Palhoça. They serve very different communities and audiences, with different cultures. This creates a challenge for the consolidation of Pode Crer, as it is necessary to ensure coherence in the implementation of the program at each pole. But it also creates a huge opportunity for the developed methodology to be extremely robust. If all trails can be successfully implemented in two locations with distinct communities and cultures, this suggests that the implementation will be robust in new locations and cultures.  To address the space and transport issues we want to build the first social innovation center in the heart of the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis where we have worked for many decades. It will provide high quality teaching spaces, technology labs, a library, makerspace, co-working space and socialization areas. As we expand the program we want to learn from this center to improve the design and implementation of the next ones. With more space and resources it will be possible to offer optional activities on the other 3 days of the week. Immediate possibilities that we would like to implement are focused workshops on technology, sports, culture, and to develop communication and leadership skills in smaller groups.  Team growth Finally, in order to truly scale, we will face the challenge of training and developing our team of educators. Currently we have hundreds of educators and staff in the organizations, and the 2022 implementation of Pode Crer supported by a team of 21 people, educators, social workers, pedagogues and administrators. We are very confident that we have the capacity to grow the team of educators by 50% each year, which would be sufficient to realize the vision of 125 centers with 12 educators and 8 support staff in each by 2033. We have the capacity to select good people, and train them in our educational approach, and to make them effective educators in the challenging contexts of Brazilian marginalized communities. What we need are a modicum of resources to make this vision happen even faster. If we receive $5M today in a few years we will have multiple centers operating and conclusive results to support further investment in 3-4 years.  --------------------------------------------- The story of Vilson Groh --------------------------------------------- Vilson Groh is a Catholic priest who in 1979 moved to the marginalized community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis and devoted his life to enfranchising marginalized communities, using lifelong education and advocacy to bridge pervasive urban exclusion. This work continues today: now 68, living in the same place in Monte Serrat and still going strong, Vilson continues to use the respect, goodwill and convening power he earned over a lifetime of work dedicated to others to advance social justice through education and community. Vilson was born and raised in Brusque, a city founded by German immigrants in 1860 in the state of Santa Catarina. He came to Florianópolis in 1978 to pursue graduate studies at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). Soon after Vilson moved to the marginalized community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis, which back then had no running water, sewage, paved roads, electricity or any kind of service. It was the quintessential favela, a Brazilian shantytown growing uphill without any kind of government oversight or regard, with rampant crime, violence and drug trafficking  Vilson devoted his life to enfranchising marginalized communities, using lifelong education and advocacy to bridge pervasive urban exclusion, and this work continues today. For decades Vilson lived like the poorest, in a wooden hut, like most people around him. For that to change it took his mother demanding that he live with a modicum of dignity when many around him had brick and mortar houses, she refused to visit him for a year. He finally upscaled into a humble two bedroom brick and mortar house built by the community in that spot, where Vilson continues to live today.  Every day Vilson uses the respect, goodwill and convening power he earned over a lifetime of work dedicated to others to advance social justice through education, community and helping literally everyone in need. --------------------------------------------- The Vilson Groh Network --------------------------------------------- Through Vilson Groh’s leadership and that of many others, small projects have flourished and became reference organizations in communities. As time went on other organizations joined the movement, and the Vilson Groh Institute was founded in 2011, to strengthen the actions of these organizations already under the leadership of Vilson Groh. It should be highlighted that all of this work is performed in violent and marginalized communities in an extremely challenging educational context: students are initially violent, aloof, brute, emotionally undeveloped, and often going hungry. This network approach only works because every educator, volunteer and supporter is sensible and deeply aware of the realities in each community, and the Institute is extremely good at training educators. The network works through a holistic approach and engage with everyone involved: students, parents, families and the community, meeting social reality, constantly reassessing it and adjusting our approach. Today the organizations that compose the Vilson Groh Network are: == CEDEP (Center for Popular Education) - an experimental community educational organization created from scratch based on Paulo Freire’s philosophy complementary education for 600 youth and continuing education for adults == AJPII (John Paul II association) - a school for children an and adolescent education where track 1 of Pode Crer is executed == MESLM (Marist School Lucia Mayvorne) - free full time education for about 500 children and adolescents == MESSJ (Marist School São José) - free full time education for about 1000 children and adolescents == CCEA (Slave Anastácia Cultural Center) - cultural activities, support for children and youth, and tracks 2 and 3 of the Pode Crer program == ACAM (Mocotó Hill Children Friends Association) - youth education and shelter for children and adolescents in vulnerable families == AGB (Friends of Guinea-Bissau) - runs bilateral education programs for elementary and high school, as well as teacher trainings in Guinea-Bissau == IVG (The Vilson Groh Institute itself) - runs university preparation program, the Pode Crer program, multiple family and community support programs   Further detailed information about the impact of each of these organizations, check the Institute 2021 social impact report and reports from other years in the institute’s social reports page --------------------------------------------- Personal statement --------------------------------------------- Personal Statement from Eduardo da Veiga Beltrame - https://munfred.com - eduardo@redeivg.org.br I have been a very strong supporter of Pode Crer from the start, being in close contact with the Vilson Groh Institute leadership, and with over $120k donations of my own money (most of my wealth). I donated most of my would-be salary, money from a house sale in Brazil, and gave them computers, equipment, 3D printers and robotics kits. In 2022 I did a 5 week deep dive across all organizations of the Vilson Groh Institute, I talked to all the teachers, students, staff, community members, and spent a lot of time with the leaders of each organization. I also gave several 3D printing workshops to teachers and students, to make sure I understood day to day reality.  I believe Pode Crer offers a template for the future of education in Brazil and Latin America. I am extremely confident in their exceptional institutional management and in their ability to operationalize programs and train and grow teams of educators. The Vilson Groh Institute is the right institution to spearhead this change, to iterate and refine such an ambitious program, and to work with cities and governments to implement what works as public policy.",2022-09-06T01:50:17.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7603,True,False,0x6Dbd02e2CD85A443318ebEd00aeeDB0fd09ee86e,Pode Crer: Tech education for marginalized youth,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7603/pode-crer-tech-education-for-marginalized-youth,"This grant will fund scholarships of $45/mo (200 brazilian reais per month) to support 200 Brazilian youth from marginalized communities studying in the Pode Crer project of technology education. Pode Crer is already running until December 2022. Pode Crer is free, but many of the students come from very poor families and face a dilemma between studying and working to help their families - $45 is extremely impactful and helps keep students in the program until completion.  What is the Pode Crer program? Pode Crer (name after a portuguese expression that literally translates to ""one can believe"" but on daily use means something like ""right on!"") is a new technology and leadership education program tailored to bring youth from Brazilian marginalized communities into the knowledge economy. It is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute, an organization with a 40-year history of grassroots work focused in education, creating opportunity, promoting inclusion in the challenging social context of Brazilian marginalized communities. Today the Vilson Groh Institute supports a network of 8 educational and social organizations that reaches 6000 students and supports 20000 people. Pode Crer is the synthesis of these 40 years of experience into a scalable educational methodology. Pode Crer has an innovative integrative educational approach that blends technology, citizenship, communication and leadership skills.  In 2021 the program ran with 320 participants, and in 2022 with 300 participants across three educational tracks for ages 11-14, 14-18 and 18+. Over the next years the Vilson Groh Institute envisions building five Social Innovation Centers across marginalized communities in the greater Florianópolis region. These will serve as hubs for consolidation and expansion of the Pode Crer program, and as laboratories for incubation of social projects and experimentation. Pode Crer 2021 Impact  320 students participated in the 2021 iteration of Pode Crer. Of 200 students aged 14+, over 66 got job opportunities, 37 of them in technology, and 7 students were admitted to public universities. In marginalized communities this kind of impact is life changing - many participants never used a computer before. These are youth whose default career path would be to join drug trafficking, or at best low paying unskilled jobs. We are in talks with a Brazilian researcher from J-PAL (Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab) interested in doing rigorous impact evaluation and writing an academic study that will inform public policy in Brazil and the world.  If excess funds are raised, they will be directed for the 2023 implementation of Pode Crer, which is budgeted  at USD 250k (BRL 1.2M) but currently faces funding uncertainty due to the elections in Brazil. If more than USD 250k are raised, the excess funds will be directed towards the construction of the first social innovation center, which is budgeted at USD 1.2M (BRL 6M). If even more is raised, we will continue building social innovation centers, we already have the location for the first 5 selected.

Pode Crer is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute, a Brazilian nonprofit with a 40-year history that coordinates and supports a network of eight schools, educational centers and social organizations in the Greater Florianópolis region that reaches 6000 students and impacts over 20000 people. The institute’s focus is on social justice and uplifting marginalized communities in Brazil through education. Pode Crer is a new complementary education program and methodology created to shape the future of Brazilian education and society. It aims to prepare students to be engaged leaders in society and active participants in the knowledge economy. Pode Crer implements a new educational approach and curriculum that blends technology, citizenship and communication. It is underpinned by the development of leadership skills in students, tested in the challenging social context of Brazilian marginalized communities, where the program is implemented.  Pode Crer currently takes place in the city of Florianópolis, in the south of Brazil. Is divided into three educational tracks for ages 11-13, 14-17 and 18-24. The pilot program took place in 2021 with 320 young people in a hybrid format. In May 2022, its second iteration began, in a fully face-to-face format, with 300 young people, some of whom participated in 2021. Pode Crer is free and open for all. The long-term vision of Pode Crer is to provide complementary education from birth to university age. To enable this vision and to serve as hubs for the implementation and growth of Pode Crer, five Social Innovation Centers will be created across the greater Florianópolis region in locations close to partner organizations. These centers will have state-of-the-art infrastructure to offer all the educational tracks of Pode Crer continuously. The first center is planned to open by 2023 in the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis, where Vilson Groh lives, and to completely reinvent the community's image. It will feature a maker space, computer labs, classrooms and workshops, auditorium, library, co-working spaces and social spaces. About the Vilson Groh Institute Pode Crer is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute,  a Brazilian nonprofit that  coordinates and supports a network of eight schools, educational centers and social organizations in the Greater Florianópolis region. The institute’s focus is on social justice and uplifting marginalized communities in Brazil through education. The Institute and its partner organizations have a long history of success creating new educational programs serving marginalized communities and vulnerable populations in the most challenging situations in Brazil, in the midst of urban misery and violence. Because of this long experience and its institutional management capacity, the Vilson Groh Institute and its partner organizations are in a unique position to create, operationalize, and refine bold new educational initiatives for Brazil.  This network of organizations was built over 40 years of work by Vilson Groh and many other engaged individuals in marginalized and impoverished communities. At the age of 22 Vilson moved to the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis and never left. Now 68 years old and going strong, Vilson Groh’s vision and passion have blossomed into a network coordinating about 400 volunteers from all social classes. Their primary focus is on education and creating opportunities for young people in vulnerable situations.  I Summary of impact the past 10 years In addition to Pode Crer, the Vilson Groh Institute operates several other social programs that are primarily focused on youth, education, culture, community support, and family support. They reach deep into very violent communities and over years have radically changed and improved the lives of many people heavily involved with drug trafficking, violence, dysfunctional families, and lack of social and economic opportunities == An average of 4800 people took part in the institute’s programs each year == Over 7M meals offered == About $110 mean monthly investment per children in school programs == 1500 children current enrolled in full time education across partner organizations == 1000 children currently enrolled in part time education across partner organizations == 2200 families supported per year == An average of 300 volunteers each year == 225 university scholarships were provided == 450 people admitted to university after preparation courses == 2100 youth got their first job after training Social impact reports (in Portuguese) with detailed numbers between 2013 to 2021 are available at https://www.redeivg.org.br/relatorios-sociais/ The big picture problem We want to break the cycle of urban misery, violence and deliberate exclusion in Brazil through an innovative complementary education targeting vulnerable youth, and to provide an example that can be replicated across the country and serve as an example for other nations.  Global urban misery, violence, subhuman living conditions and extreme inequality was caused by growing population coupled with fast and disorganized urbanization in the developing world over the past 100 years: The fraction of global urban population went from 15% to 60%, and global population went from 1.9B to 7.8B people.  Brazil is one of the most unequal countries in the world, and one of the most extreme cases of rapid and completely disorganized urbanization: total population went from 30M to 212M, and urban population from 15% to 85%, with 40 times more people living in cities today than 100 years ago.  The thorny problem of urban misery interwoven with violence and extreme inequality is most emblematically represented by the images of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro amid the backdrop of luxury condos, but the dynamic is consistently repeated across every major city in Brazil. We have a scalable program,Pode Crer, now in its second pilot year, that achieves this by equipping youth with technical and socio-emotional skills to participate in the knowledge economy, and we have the capacity to scale it: across 8 organizations in our network we have over 40 years of experience and dozens of educational programs that reach over 6000 students and impact 20,000 people in communities across the greater Florianópolis region in Brazil.  Creating an inclusive knowledge economy and a society of leaders The Pode Crer program and methodology aims at nothing less than reinventing basic education in Brazil, and consequently the future of the country's human development. The strategy is to begin this transformation through complementary education, where it is possible to innovate, iterate and be bold. Pode Crer operates in the opposite period to the public school system (in Brazil classes happen in mornings or afternoons only) and is therefore free from many of the shackles of the education system. Pode Crer develops fundamental elements that are absent in the public education system and aims to become such a shining example of success that other educational organizations will copy it, and eventually shape the public education system itself.  While Pode Crer is currently implemented in three educational tracks for students aged 11 to 24 years old, the long term vision is to continuously guide students from one track to another, and to be expanded to offer complementary training from kindergarten to university.  The curriculum has three foundations: technology, citizenship, and communication. They were designed to prepare the student to actively participate in the knowledge economy, which demands skills that are not part of the Brazilian education system.  Beyond just technical skills, the fundamental element important is the ability to work well with people. Developing autonomy, communication and teamwork for working in a creative and dynamic environment demands emotional intelligence, awareness and self-confidence. These are elements that form the foundation of leadership, explicitly developed and improved by CEOs and executives, but typically ignored in other contexts. Creating an inclusive knowledge economy that is not insular and elitist requires developing these elements in all individuals as part of the educational system. This means creating a society of leaders. The full development of a knowledge economy also requires a society with functioning institutions and high levels of interpersonal trust. In Brazil these elements are still fraught and often absent. The country has institutions that are an important foundation but are still young and fragile. It is necessary to change Brazil's pervasive culture of corruption. This culture manifests itself through a generalized mindset of trying to get ahead of others, usually by skirting the rules or disregarding what is public and common. It is necessary to inculcate civic mindedness into every Brazilian, and a genuine regard for everything that is common, shared and public.  When implemented on a national scale, Pode Crer will be paving the way in Brazil for the creation of a society of leaders with an inclusive knowledge economy - something that still does not truly exist anywhere in the world. The creation of an inclusive knowledge economy is the only sustainable way of closing the great social gaps in Brazil. In an economy where everyone actually participates, it is not necessary to permanently resort to assistance programs or income redistribution.  Current plans: Creating 5 Social Innovation Centers The plan for the growth of Pode Crer in the near future is the creation of multiple Social Innovation Centers throughout the greater Florianópolis region, in communities where the Vilson Groh Institute operates. These centers will be structures built close to partner educational organizations that have already implemented or will implement Pode Crer educational tracks.    The first center will be built in the community of Monte Serrat.. It will be built on land given over for 30 years, alongside a partner school. It will have an amphitheater for events, an interactive library, a coworking space, a music studio, a maker space, classrooms and computer labs. Its construction is budgeted at 6 million reais (1.2M USD). About 20% of the resources for its construction are already secured.  After Monte Serrat neighborhood the next two centers will be built in the Monte Cristo neighborhood in Florianópolis and at Ponte do Imaruim in Palhoça. The first is home to CEDEP (https://cedeponline.com.br), a popular and experimental education center that has 30 years of experience with complementary education. CEDEP carries out innovative educational experiments with vulnerable youth based on the philosophy of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. The second location is home to the AJPII elementary school (https://ajp2.org.br/), where the Pode Crer track 1 pilot takes place (11 -13 years).  Location and proposed design of the first social innovation center in the community of Monte Serrtat in Florianópolis, Brazil.  If you were given $500M what would you do?  With $500M we would have a 25x more ambitious 10-year plan: Instead of 5, we would create 125 social innovation centers in marginalized communities (favelas) across Brazil. These centers will be hubs for Pode Crer, our new complementary education program created to prepare vulnerable and marginalized youth for the knowledge economy. Pode Crer launched in 2021 and currently serves 300 students across two communities aged 11-24, being free and open to all.  Pode Crer is a new educational approach tailored to Brazilian reality that blends civics, technology and leadership, equipping youth with technical and socio-emotional skills to participate in the knowledge economy. It is based on over 40 years of experience working with marginalized communities across 8 educational organizations reaching 6000 students.  Because Pode Crer is a complementary education program (running in the opposite shift to schools) it is free of constraints of the Brazilian school system. We can innovate and iterate rapidly.  The first center will open in 2023. Each center costs $1M to build and $500k per year to operate in full. A center can serve 600 Pode Crer students and reaches about 5000 community members. Each center is planned to be staffed by 12 educators and 8 support staff.  We have the institutional capacity to operate and grow Pode Crer. We are bottlenecked by fundraising. We are confident that if we have the money we can train and grow our team of educators by 50% each year. With $5M we could have these 5 centers built and operational by 2027. With $500M we would aim to create and operate 125 centers across Brazil by 2033. Instead of just the ​​Florianópolis region, we would like to influence educational policy and reshape education in Brazil.  We are talking with the Stanford University “Lemann Center for Educational Entrepreneurship Innovation in Brazil” to create studies about Pode Crer. Our goal is to put out rigorous studies to guide policy and pave the way to grow across Brazil.  The city of Medellin in Colombia has a successful “smart city” experience that informs our vision. Since the 1990s over different governments they were able to drastically reduce violence and improve life quality by re-urbanization and creating community centers in strategic locations. There are two main differences: First, our approach starts from a focus on lifelong education, while in Medellin it started from a re-urbanization plan. Second: In Medellin action started from the city government and engaged civil society, while we are starting from civil society and engaging multiple city governments.  Crucial partners we need to engage are local governments. We have deep ties with civil society in the Florianópolis region, and we work with 3 other different city governments. We believe that cities across Brazil will be receptive to our experience. Investment in our programs can be done in tranches. If we receive $5M today in a few years we will have multiple centers operating and conclusive results to support further investment in 3-4 years.  If Pode Crer was ultimately successful and fully implemented, how would the world be different?  If we truly succeed, then every one of the 50 million youth in Brazil aged 18 and under will have access to lifelong complementary education shaped after the Pode Crer approach. That means education tailored to their local realities, that teaches a civic mindset, and to equip them with the technical and socio-emotional skills needed to thrive in the knowledge economy.  We have a long term vision of lifelong education, and want to support people from birth to adult age. We are looking beyond the 10 year plan outlined for the $500M, which would reach  an estimated 75k Pode Crer students and 625k people across the 125 social innovation centers. A 25 year horizon would be more coherent with the scale of our vision. To have such a broad impact we need to influence education policy at the city, state and national level in Brazil. We believe we can do that in two ways. First by publishing rigorous academic studies that show to policy makers the efficacy of our educational approach and enabling evidence-based policy making - we are already talking with the Lemann Center at Stanford to create such rigorous studies.  Second, by having each social innovation center serve as a reference for how to implement the program and adapt it to a new community, and as a hub for training educators and program managers. We believe that as soon as the first center is completed in 2023 this will happen, and we will be ready to assist organizations outside our network on how to implement our approach.  If we truly achieve our vision, then we will have an integrated society, city center and urban periphery will not be segregated and stigmatized. We will have broken with the vicious cycle of obscene urban exclusion that occurs in Brazil. We will have achieved this by creating an inclusive knowledge economy in Brazil. That is to say, a society in which every individual in working age is able to participate in the knowledge economy. Currently this doesn’t exist in any country yet, because participation in the knowledge economy requires significant training that only relatively few elite workers have, making their labor extremely valuable. This inequality in training leads to significant social and economic inequality, as is becoming more evident every day across the US and in particular in Silicon Valley, where technology workers command salaries far higher than any other industry.  In his book “​​The Knowledge Economy”, Harvard Brazilian scholar Roberto Mangabeira Unger describes the knowledge economy as insular and exclusive, and he advocates for a new kind of educational system in Brazil geared towards enfranchising people to participate in it. We believe Pode Crer is exactly that, and we are working every day to consolidate and grow the program.  If we succeed then rather than be marginalized, every community in Brazil will be empowered  to solve their own problems, and be able to leverage modern technology. Instead of squandering youth to drug trafficking and violence with no human development, we will create a society of leaders with a civic mindset and an understanding of the powerful technologies they have at their disposal to improve the world. This will start with local communities, but it will grow: these empowered leaders will become more and more active participants in society, from companies to civic organizations to local, state and national governments. That kind of civic engagement is what Brazil needs and what we wish to foster through lifelong education with a long term vision.  We expect that our experience will serve as a template for other countries. The world would be different because through education and opportunity, underprivileged communities would be the protagonist of their rise from misery and poverty. Not big companies, not governments, but individuals themselves will have the sense of agency, the confidence, and the skills to do so.  What bottlenecks is keeping us from quickly scaling Pode Crer? Immediate funding needs: USD 250k to guarantee operations for 2023 Because of the election year, there is very high uncertainty that we will be able to secure funds from CAIXA, the federal bank that funded Pode Crer in 2021 and 2022 with 1M BRL ($200k). Going beyond the minimum: scalable growth with social innovation centers Pode Crer was designed for scalable growth, with plans to create 5 social innovation centers to serve as hubs of the program in communities where the Vilson Groh Institute already operates. Each center is designed to serve up to 1000 Pode Crer students and reach 20.000 people. A center costs $1.2M to build and $300k/year to operate in full with 12 staff, and features a maker space, computer labs, classrooms and workshops, auditorium, library, co-working spaces and social spaces.  To make things happen faster, the strategy is to raise private money to build the first centers quickly while securing government support for ongoing operational costs. If money is secured the first center can be made operational in 2023. Operating Budget - currently $250k/year for 300 youth The 2022 implementation is supported by a team of 21 people, including educators, social workers, pedagogues and administrators. The budget for 2022 is R$1.2M (250k USD). Today Pode Crer is implemented as two weekly meetings in the morning or in the afternoon, in classes of up to 25 students who have classes and workshops on two topics a day.  The primary bottleneck for immediately scaling Pode Crer is money, the 2022 budget is $250k and the program runs two days a week with 300 students total. Because we are only able to hire the educators as part-time staff, we could readily double the capacity of the program if we had twice the money ($500k) and reach 600 students total. In the current two-day-a-week format, a team of 4 educators working full-time could serve 400 students on each educational track. To offer the program 5 days a week to 400 students, a team of 8 educators would be required. Currently, the two biggest limitations for the Program are financial resources to hire the entire team as full-time staff (many can only be paid part time), and physical space for the program's activities. It is possible to double the reach of the program with the current team and twice the financial resources, with an yearly operating budget of R$2.4M (about 500k USD). Student support scholarships ($40/mo) Another challenge that we face is keeping students in class and getting some families to not pressure students to leave class to seek work, which is common with the vulnerable students from marginalized communities. Students on tracks 2 and 3 receive an allowance of R$200 (USD 40) per month during the program. This allowance is fundamental to incentivize them and their families to focus on studies rather than procuring work to supplement family income.  Physical space and locations The secondary bottleneck is location and physical space, getting to the classroom is challenging for many students, even with financial support for transport that we offer. Currently, Pode Crer is implemented in two locations due to the availability of spaces in two partner organizations and 3 educational tracks for ages 11-13 (track 1), 14-17 (track 2) and 18-24 (track 3). Tracks 2 and 3 are implemented in the city of Florianópolis and track 1 in the city of Palhoça. They serve very different communities and audiences, with different cultures. This creates a challenge for the consolidation of Pode Crer, as it is necessary to ensure coherence in the implementation of the program at each pole. But it also creates a huge opportunity for the developed methodology to be extremely robust. If all trails can be successfully implemented in two locations with distinct communities and cultures, this suggests that the implementation will be robust in new locations and cultures.  To address the space and transport issues we want to build the first social innovation center in the heart of the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis where we have worked for many decades. It will provide high quality teaching spaces, technology labs, a library, makerspace, co-working space and socialization areas. As we expand the program we want to learn from this center to improve the design and implementation of the next ones. With more space and resources it will be possible to offer optional activities on the other 3 days of the week. Immediate possibilities that we would like to implement are focused workshops on technology, sports, culture, and to develop communication and leadership skills in smaller groups.  Team growth Finally, in order to truly scale, we will face the challenge of training and developing our team of educators. Currently we have hundreds of educators and staff in the organizations, and the 2022 implementation of Pode Crer supported by a team of 21 people, educators, social workers, pedagogues and administrators. We are very confident that we have the capacity to grow the team of educators by 50% each year, which would be sufficient to realize the vision of 125 centers with 12 educators and 8 support staff in each by 2033. We have the capacity to select good people, and train them in our educational approach, and to make them effective educators in the challenging contexts of Brazilian marginalized communities. What we need are a modicum of resources to make this vision happen even faster. If we receive $5M today in a few years we will have multiple centers operating and conclusive results to support further investment in 3-4 years.  --------------------------------------------- The story of Vilson Groh --------------------------------------------- Vilson Groh is a Catholic priest who in 1979 moved to the marginalized community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis and devoted his life to enfranchising marginalized communities, using lifelong education and advocacy to bridge pervasive urban exclusion. This work continues today: now 68, living in the same place in Monte Serrat and still going strong, Vilson continues to use the respect, goodwill and convening power he earned over a lifetime of work dedicated to others to advance social justice through education and community. Vilson was born and raised in Brusque, a city founded by German immigrants in 1860 in the state of Santa Catarina. He came to Florianópolis in 1978 to pursue graduate studies at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). Soon after Vilson moved to the marginalized community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis, which back then had no running water, sewage, paved roads, electricity or any kind of service. It was the quintessential favela, a Brazilian shantytown growing uphill without any kind of government oversight or regard, with rampant crime, violence and drug trafficking  Vilson devoted his life to enfranchising marginalized communities, using lifelong education and advocacy to bridge pervasive urban exclusion, and this work continues today. For decades Vilson lived like the poorest, in a wooden hut, like most people around him. For that to change it took his mother demanding that he live with a modicum of dignity when many around him had brick and mortar houses, she refused to visit him for a year. He finally upscaled into a humble two bedroom brick and mortar house built by the community in that spot, where Vilson continues to live today.  Every day Vilson uses the respect, goodwill and convening power he earned over a lifetime of work dedicated to others to advance social justice through education, community and helping literally everyone in need. --------------------------------------------- The Vilson Groh Network --------------------------------------------- Through Vilson Groh’s leadership and that of many others, small projects have flourished and became reference organizations in communities. As time went on other organizations joined the movement, and the Vilson Groh Institute was founded in 2011, to strengthen the actions of these organizations already under the leadership of Vilson Groh. It should be highlighted that all of this work is performed in violent and marginalized communities in an extremely challenging educational context: students are initially violent, aloof, brute, emotionally undeveloped, and often going hungry. This network approach only works because every educator, volunteer and supporter is sensible and deeply aware of the realities in each community, and the Institute is extremely good at training educators. The network works through a holistic approach and engage with everyone involved: students, parents, families and the community, meeting social reality, constantly reassessing it and adjusting our approach. Today the organizations that compose the Vilson Groh Network are: == CEDEP (Center for Popular Education) - an experimental community educational organization created from scratch based on Paulo Freire’s philosophy complementary education for 600 youth and continuing education for adults == AJPII (John Paul II association) - a school for children an and adolescent education where track 1 of Pode Crer is executed == MESLM (Marist School Lucia Mayvorne) - free full time education for about 500 children and adolescents == MESSJ (Marist School São José) - free full time education for about 1000 children and adolescents == CCEA (Slave Anastácia Cultural Center) - cultural activities, support for children and youth, and tracks 2 and 3 of the Pode Crer program == ACAM (Mocotó Hill Children Friends Association) - youth education and shelter for children and adolescents in vulnerable families == AGB (Friends of Guinea-Bissau) - runs bilateral education programs for elementary and high school, as well as teacher trainings in Guinea-Bissau == IVG (The Vilson Groh Institute itself) - runs university preparation program, the Pode Crer program, multiple family and community support programs   Further detailed information about the impact of each of these organizations, check the Institute 2021 social impact report and reports from other years in the institute’s social reports page --------------------------------------------- Personal statement --------------------------------------------- Personal Statement from Eduardo da Veiga Beltrame - https://munfred.com - eduardo@redeivg.org.br I have been a very strong supporter of Pode Crer from the start, being in close contact with the Vilson Groh Institute leadership, and with over $120k donations of my own money (most of my wealth). I donated most of my would-be salary, money from a house sale in Brazil, and gave them computers, equipment, 3D printers and robotics kits. In 2022 I did a 5 week deep dive across all organizations of the Vilson Groh Institute, I talked to all the teachers, students, staff, community members, and spent a lot of time with the leaders of each organization. I also gave several 3D printing workshops to teachers and students, to make sure I understood day to day reality.  I believe Pode Crer offers a template for the future of education in Brazil and Latin America. I am extremely confident in their exceptional institutional management and in their ability to operationalize programs and train and grow teams of educators. The Vilson Groh Institute is the right institution to spearhead this change, to iterate and refine such an ambitious program, and to work with cities and governments to implement what works as public policy.",2022-09-06T01:50:17.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7603,True,False,0x6Dbd02e2CD85A443318ebEd00aeeDB0fd09ee86e,Pode Crer: Tech education for marginalized youth,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7603/pode-crer-tech-education-for-marginalized-youth,"This grant will fund scholarships of $45/mo (200 brazilian reais per month) to support 200 Brazilian youth from marginalized communities studying in the Pode Crer project of technology education. Pode Crer is already running until December 2022. Pode Crer is free, but many of the students come from very poor families and face a dilemma between studying and working to help their families - $45 is extremely impactful and helps keep students in the program until completion.  What is the Pode Crer program? Pode Crer (name after a portuguese expression that literally translates to ""one can believe"" but on daily use means something like ""right on!"") is a new technology and leadership education program tailored to bring youth from Brazilian marginalized communities into the knowledge economy. It is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute, an organization with a 40-year history of grassroots work focused in education, creating opportunity, promoting inclusion in the challenging social context of Brazilian marginalized communities. Today the Vilson Groh Institute supports a network of 8 educational and social organizations that reaches 6000 students and supports 20000 people. Pode Crer is the synthesis of these 40 years of experience into a scalable educational methodology. Pode Crer has an innovative integrative educational approach that blends technology, citizenship, communication and leadership skills.  In 2021 the program ran with 320 participants, and in 2022 with 300 participants across three educational tracks for ages 11-14, 14-18 and 18+. Over the next years the Vilson Groh Institute envisions building five Social Innovation Centers across marginalized communities in the greater Florianópolis region. These will serve as hubs for consolidation and expansion of the Pode Crer program, and as laboratories for incubation of social projects and experimentation. Pode Crer 2021 Impact  320 students participated in the 2021 iteration of Pode Crer. Of 200 students aged 14+, over 66 got job opportunities, 37 of them in technology, and 7 students were admitted to public universities. In marginalized communities this kind of impact is life changing - many participants never used a computer before. These are youth whose default career path would be to join drug trafficking, or at best low paying unskilled jobs. We are in talks with a Brazilian researcher from J-PAL (Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab) interested in doing rigorous impact evaluation and writing an academic study that will inform public policy in Brazil and the world.  If excess funds are raised, they will be directed for the 2023 implementation of Pode Crer, which is budgeted  at USD 250k (BRL 1.2M) but currently faces funding uncertainty due to the elections in Brazil. If more than USD 250k are raised, the excess funds will be directed towards the construction of the first social innovation center, which is budgeted at USD 1.2M (BRL 6M). If even more is raised, we will continue building social innovation centers, we already have the location for the first 5 selected.

Pode Crer is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute, a Brazilian nonprofit with a 40-year history that coordinates and supports a network of eight schools, educational centers and social organizations in the Greater Florianópolis region that reaches 6000 students and impacts over 20000 people. The institute’s focus is on social justice and uplifting marginalized communities in Brazil through education. Pode Crer is a new complementary education program and methodology created to shape the future of Brazilian education and society. It aims to prepare students to be engaged leaders in society and active participants in the knowledge economy. Pode Crer implements a new educational approach and curriculum that blends technology, citizenship and communication. It is underpinned by the development of leadership skills in students, tested in the challenging social context of Brazilian marginalized communities, where the program is implemented.  Pode Crer currently takes place in the city of Florianópolis, in the south of Brazil. Is divided into three educational tracks for ages 11-13, 14-17 and 18-24. The pilot program took place in 2021 with 320 young people in a hybrid format. In May 2022, its second iteration began, in a fully face-to-face format, with 300 young people, some of whom participated in 2021. Pode Crer is free and open for all. The long-term vision of Pode Crer is to provide complementary education from birth to university age. To enable this vision and to serve as hubs for the implementation and growth of Pode Crer, five Social Innovation Centers will be created across the greater Florianópolis region in locations close to partner organizations. These centers will have state-of-the-art infrastructure to offer all the educational tracks of Pode Crer continuously. The first center is planned to open by 2023 in the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis, where Vilson Groh lives, and to completely reinvent the community's image. It will feature a maker space, computer labs, classrooms and workshops, auditorium, library, co-working spaces and social spaces. About the Vilson Groh Institute Pode Crer is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute,  a Brazilian nonprofit that  coordinates and supports a network of eight schools, educational centers and social organizations in the Greater Florianópolis region. The institute’s focus is on social justice and uplifting marginalized communities in Brazil through education. The Institute and its partner organizations have a long history of success creating new educational programs serving marginalized communities and vulnerable populations in the most challenging situations in Brazil, in the midst of urban misery and violence. Because of this long experience and its institutional management capacity, the Vilson Groh Institute and its partner organizations are in a unique position to create, operationalize, and refine bold new educational initiatives for Brazil.  This network of organizations was built over 40 years of work by Vilson Groh and many other engaged individuals in marginalized and impoverished communities. At the age of 22 Vilson moved to the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis and never left. Now 68 years old and going strong, Vilson Groh’s vision and passion have blossomed into a network coordinating about 400 volunteers from all social classes. Their primary focus is on education and creating opportunities for young people in vulnerable situations.  I Summary of impact the past 10 years In addition to Pode Crer, the Vilson Groh Institute operates several other social programs that are primarily focused on youth, education, culture, community support, and family support. They reach deep into very violent communities and over years have radically changed and improved the lives of many people heavily involved with drug trafficking, violence, dysfunctional families, and lack of social and economic opportunities == An average of 4800 people took part in the institute’s programs each year == Over 7M meals offered == About $110 mean monthly investment per children in school programs == 1500 children current enrolled in full time education across partner organizations == 1000 children currently enrolled in part time education across partner organizations == 2200 families supported per year == An average of 300 volunteers each year == 225 university scholarships were provided == 450 people admitted to university after preparation courses == 2100 youth got their first job after training Social impact reports (in Portuguese) with detailed numbers between 2013 to 2021 are available at https://www.redeivg.org.br/relatorios-sociais/ The big picture problem We want to break the cycle of urban misery, violence and deliberate exclusion in Brazil through an innovative complementary education targeting vulnerable youth, and to provide an example that can be replicated across the country and serve as an example for other nations.  Global urban misery, violence, subhuman living conditions and extreme inequality was caused by growing population coupled with fast and disorganized urbanization in the developing world over the past 100 years: The fraction of global urban population went from 15% to 60%, and global population went from 1.9B to 7.8B people.  Brazil is one of the most unequal countries in the world, and one of the most extreme cases of rapid and completely disorganized urbanization: total population went from 30M to 212M, and urban population from 15% to 85%, with 40 times more people living in cities today than 100 years ago.  The thorny problem of urban misery interwoven with violence and extreme inequality is most emblematically represented by the images of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro amid the backdrop of luxury condos, but the dynamic is consistently repeated across every major city in Brazil. We have a scalable program,Pode Crer, now in its second pilot year, that achieves this by equipping youth with technical and socio-emotional skills to participate in the knowledge economy, and we have the capacity to scale it: across 8 organizations in our network we have over 40 years of experience and dozens of educational programs that reach over 6000 students and impact 20,000 people in communities across the greater Florianópolis region in Brazil.  Creating an inclusive knowledge economy and a society of leaders The Pode Crer program and methodology aims at nothing less than reinventing basic education in Brazil, and consequently the future of the country's human development. The strategy is to begin this transformation through complementary education, where it is possible to innovate, iterate and be bold. Pode Crer operates in the opposite period to the public school system (in Brazil classes happen in mornings or afternoons only) and is therefore free from many of the shackles of the education system. Pode Crer develops fundamental elements that are absent in the public education system and aims to become such a shining example of success that other educational organizations will copy it, and eventually shape the public education system itself.  While Pode Crer is currently implemented in three educational tracks for students aged 11 to 24 years old, the long term vision is to continuously guide students from one track to another, and to be expanded to offer complementary training from kindergarten to university.  The curriculum has three foundations: technology, citizenship, and communication. They were designed to prepare the student to actively participate in the knowledge economy, which demands skills that are not part of the Brazilian education system.  Beyond just technical skills, the fundamental element important is the ability to work well with people. Developing autonomy, communication and teamwork for working in a creative and dynamic environment demands emotional intelligence, awareness and self-confidence. These are elements that form the foundation of leadership, explicitly developed and improved by CEOs and executives, but typically ignored in other contexts. Creating an inclusive knowledge economy that is not insular and elitist requires developing these elements in all individuals as part of the educational system. This means creating a society of leaders. The full development of a knowledge economy also requires a society with functioning institutions and high levels of interpersonal trust. In Brazil these elements are still fraught and often absent. The country has institutions that are an important foundation but are still young and fragile. It is necessary to change Brazil's pervasive culture of corruption. This culture manifests itself through a generalized mindset of trying to get ahead of others, usually by skirting the rules or disregarding what is public and common. It is necessary to inculcate civic mindedness into every Brazilian, and a genuine regard for everything that is common, shared and public.  When implemented on a national scale, Pode Crer will be paving the way in Brazil for the creation of a society of leaders with an inclusive knowledge economy - something that still does not truly exist anywhere in the world. The creation of an inclusive knowledge economy is the only sustainable way of closing the great social gaps in Brazil. In an economy where everyone actually participates, it is not necessary to permanently resort to assistance programs or income redistribution.  Current plans: Creating 5 Social Innovation Centers The plan for the growth of Pode Crer in the near future is the creation of multiple Social Innovation Centers throughout the greater Florianópolis region, in communities where the Vilson Groh Institute operates. These centers will be structures built close to partner educational organizations that have already implemented or will implement Pode Crer educational tracks.    The first center will be built in the community of Monte Serrat.. It will be built on land given over for 30 years, alongside a partner school. It will have an amphitheater for events, an interactive library, a coworking space, a music studio, a maker space, classrooms and computer labs. Its construction is budgeted at 6 million reais (1.2M USD). About 20% of the resources for its construction are already secured.  After Monte Serrat neighborhood the next two centers will be built in the Monte Cristo neighborhood in Florianópolis and at Ponte do Imaruim in Palhoça. The first is home to CEDEP (https://cedeponline.com.br), a popular and experimental education center that has 30 years of experience with complementary education. CEDEP carries out innovative educational experiments with vulnerable youth based on the philosophy of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. The second location is home to the AJPII elementary school (https://ajp2.org.br/), where the Pode Crer track 1 pilot takes place (11 -13 years).  Location and proposed design of the first social innovation center in the community of Monte Serrtat in Florianópolis, Brazil.  If you were given $500M what would you do?  With $500M we would have a 25x more ambitious 10-year plan: Instead of 5, we would create 125 social innovation centers in marginalized communities (favelas) across Brazil. These centers will be hubs for Pode Crer, our new complementary education program created to prepare vulnerable and marginalized youth for the knowledge economy. Pode Crer launched in 2021 and currently serves 300 students across two communities aged 11-24, being free and open to all.  Pode Crer is a new educational approach tailored to Brazilian reality that blends civics, technology and leadership, equipping youth with technical and socio-emotional skills to participate in the knowledge economy. It is based on over 40 years of experience working with marginalized communities across 8 educational organizations reaching 6000 students.  Because Pode Crer is a complementary education program (running in the opposite shift to schools) it is free of constraints of the Brazilian school system. We can innovate and iterate rapidly.  The first center will open in 2023. Each center costs $1M to build and $500k per year to operate in full. A center can serve 600 Pode Crer students and reaches about 5000 community members. Each center is planned to be staffed by 12 educators and 8 support staff.  We have the institutional capacity to operate and grow Pode Crer. We are bottlenecked by fundraising. We are confident that if we have the money we can train and grow our team of educators by 50% each year. With $5M we could have these 5 centers built and operational by 2027. With $500M we would aim to create and operate 125 centers across Brazil by 2033. Instead of just the ​​Florianópolis region, we would like to influence educational policy and reshape education in Brazil.  We are talking with the Stanford University “Lemann Center for Educational Entrepreneurship Innovation in Brazil” to create studies about Pode Crer. Our goal is to put out rigorous studies to guide policy and pave the way to grow across Brazil.  The city of Medellin in Colombia has a successful “smart city” experience that informs our vision. Since the 1990s over different governments they were able to drastically reduce violence and improve life quality by re-urbanization and creating community centers in strategic locations. There are two main differences: First, our approach starts from a focus on lifelong education, while in Medellin it started from a re-urbanization plan. Second: In Medellin action started from the city government and engaged civil society, while we are starting from civil society and engaging multiple city governments.  Crucial partners we need to engage are local governments. We have deep ties with civil society in the Florianópolis region, and we work with 3 other different city governments. We believe that cities across Brazil will be receptive to our experience. Investment in our programs can be done in tranches. If we receive $5M today in a few years we will have multiple centers operating and conclusive results to support further investment in 3-4 years.  If Pode Crer was ultimately successful and fully implemented, how would the world be different?  If we truly succeed, then every one of the 50 million youth in Brazil aged 18 and under will have access to lifelong complementary education shaped after the Pode Crer approach. That means education tailored to their local realities, that teaches a civic mindset, and to equip them with the technical and socio-emotional skills needed to thrive in the knowledge economy.  We have a long term vision of lifelong education, and want to support people from birth to adult age. We are looking beyond the 10 year plan outlined for the $500M, which would reach  an estimated 75k Pode Crer students and 625k people across the 125 social innovation centers. A 25 year horizon would be more coherent with the scale of our vision. To have such a broad impact we need to influence education policy at the city, state and national level in Brazil. We believe we can do that in two ways. First by publishing rigorous academic studies that show to policy makers the efficacy of our educational approach and enabling evidence-based policy making - we are already talking with the Lemann Center at Stanford to create such rigorous studies.  Second, by having each social innovation center serve as a reference for how to implement the program and adapt it to a new community, and as a hub for training educators and program managers. We believe that as soon as the first center is completed in 2023 this will happen, and we will be ready to assist organizations outside our network on how to implement our approach.  If we truly achieve our vision, then we will have an integrated society, city center and urban periphery will not be segregated and stigmatized. We will have broken with the vicious cycle of obscene urban exclusion that occurs in Brazil. We will have achieved this by creating an inclusive knowledge economy in Brazil. That is to say, a society in which every individual in working age is able to participate in the knowledge economy. Currently this doesn’t exist in any country yet, because participation in the knowledge economy requires significant training that only relatively few elite workers have, making their labor extremely valuable. This inequality in training leads to significant social and economic inequality, as is becoming more evident every day across the US and in particular in Silicon Valley, where technology workers command salaries far higher than any other industry.  In his book “​​The Knowledge Economy”, Harvard Brazilian scholar Roberto Mangabeira Unger describes the knowledge economy as insular and exclusive, and he advocates for a new kind of educational system in Brazil geared towards enfranchising people to participate in it. We believe Pode Crer is exactly that, and we are working every day to consolidate and grow the program.  If we succeed then rather than be marginalized, every community in Brazil will be empowered  to solve their own problems, and be able to leverage modern technology. Instead of squandering youth to drug trafficking and violence with no human development, we will create a society of leaders with a civic mindset and an understanding of the powerful technologies they have at their disposal to improve the world. This will start with local communities, but it will grow: these empowered leaders will become more and more active participants in society, from companies to civic organizations to local, state and national governments. That kind of civic engagement is what Brazil needs and what we wish to foster through lifelong education with a long term vision.  We expect that our experience will serve as a template for other countries. The world would be different because through education and opportunity, underprivileged communities would be the protagonist of their rise from misery and poverty. Not big companies, not governments, but individuals themselves will have the sense of agency, the confidence, and the skills to do so.  What bottlenecks is keeping us from quickly scaling Pode Crer? Immediate funding needs: USD 250k to guarantee operations for 2023 Because of the election year, there is very high uncertainty that we will be able to secure funds from CAIXA, the federal bank that funded Pode Crer in 2021 and 2022 with 1M BRL ($200k). Going beyond the minimum: scalable growth with social innovation centers Pode Crer was designed for scalable growth, with plans to create 5 social innovation centers to serve as hubs of the program in communities where the Vilson Groh Institute already operates. Each center is designed to serve up to 1000 Pode Crer students and reach 20.000 people. A center costs $1.2M to build and $300k/year to operate in full with 12 staff, and features a maker space, computer labs, classrooms and workshops, auditorium, library, co-working spaces and social spaces.  To make things happen faster, the strategy is to raise private money to build the first centers quickly while securing government support for ongoing operational costs. If money is secured the first center can be made operational in 2023. Operating Budget - currently $250k/year for 300 youth The 2022 implementation is supported by a team of 21 people, including educators, social workers, pedagogues and administrators. The budget for 2022 is R$1.2M (250k USD). Today Pode Crer is implemented as two weekly meetings in the morning or in the afternoon, in classes of up to 25 students who have classes and workshops on two topics a day.  The primary bottleneck for immediately scaling Pode Crer is money, the 2022 budget is $250k and the program runs two days a week with 300 students total. Because we are only able to hire the educators as part-time staff, we could readily double the capacity of the program if we had twice the money ($500k) and reach 600 students total. In the current two-day-a-week format, a team of 4 educators working full-time could serve 400 students on each educational track. To offer the program 5 days a week to 400 students, a team of 8 educators would be required. Currently, the two biggest limitations for the Program are financial resources to hire the entire team as full-time staff (many can only be paid part time), and physical space for the program's activities. It is possible to double the reach of the program with the current team and twice the financial resources, with an yearly operating budget of R$2.4M (about 500k USD). Student support scholarships ($40/mo) Another challenge that we face is keeping students in class and getting some families to not pressure students to leave class to seek work, which is common with the vulnerable students from marginalized communities. Students on tracks 2 and 3 receive an allowance of R$200 (USD 40) per month during the program. This allowance is fundamental to incentivize them and their families to focus on studies rather than procuring work to supplement family income.  Physical space and locations The secondary bottleneck is location and physical space, getting to the classroom is challenging for many students, even with financial support for transport that we offer. Currently, Pode Crer is implemented in two locations due to the availability of spaces in two partner organizations and 3 educational tracks for ages 11-13 (track 1), 14-17 (track 2) and 18-24 (track 3). Tracks 2 and 3 are implemented in the city of Florianópolis and track 1 in the city of Palhoça. They serve very different communities and audiences, with different cultures. This creates a challenge for the consolidation of Pode Crer, as it is necessary to ensure coherence in the implementation of the program at each pole. But it also creates a huge opportunity for the developed methodology to be extremely robust. If all trails can be successfully implemented in two locations with distinct communities and cultures, this suggests that the implementation will be robust in new locations and cultures.  To address the space and transport issues we want to build the first social innovation center in the heart of the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis where we have worked for many decades. It will provide high quality teaching spaces, technology labs, a library, makerspace, co-working space and socialization areas. As we expand the program we want to learn from this center to improve the design and implementation of the next ones. With more space and resources it will be possible to offer optional activities on the other 3 days of the week. Immediate possibilities that we would like to implement are focused workshops on technology, sports, culture, and to develop communication and leadership skills in smaller groups.  Team growth Finally, in order to truly scale, we will face the challenge of training and developing our team of educators. Currently we have hundreds of educators and staff in the organizations, and the 2022 implementation of Pode Crer supported by a team of 21 people, educators, social workers, pedagogues and administrators. We are very confident that we have the capacity to grow the team of educators by 50% each year, which would be sufficient to realize the vision of 125 centers with 12 educators and 8 support staff in each by 2033. We have the capacity to select good people, and train them in our educational approach, and to make them effective educators in the challenging contexts of Brazilian marginalized communities. What we need are a modicum of resources to make this vision happen even faster. If we receive $5M today in a few years we will have multiple centers operating and conclusive results to support further investment in 3-4 years.  --------------------------------------------- The story of Vilson Groh --------------------------------------------- Vilson Groh is a Catholic priest who in 1979 moved to the marginalized community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis and devoted his life to enfranchising marginalized communities, using lifelong education and advocacy to bridge pervasive urban exclusion. This work continues today: now 68, living in the same place in Monte Serrat and still going strong, Vilson continues to use the respect, goodwill and convening power he earned over a lifetime of work dedicated to others to advance social justice through education and community. Vilson was born and raised in Brusque, a city founded by German immigrants in 1860 in the state of Santa Catarina. He came to Florianópolis in 1978 to pursue graduate studies at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). Soon after Vilson moved to the marginalized community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis, which back then had no running water, sewage, paved roads, electricity or any kind of service. It was the quintessential favela, a Brazilian shantytown growing uphill without any kind of government oversight or regard, with rampant crime, violence and drug trafficking  Vilson devoted his life to enfranchising marginalized communities, using lifelong education and advocacy to bridge pervasive urban exclusion, and this work continues today. For decades Vilson lived like the poorest, in a wooden hut, like most people around him. For that to change it took his mother demanding that he live with a modicum of dignity when many around him had brick and mortar houses, she refused to visit him for a year. He finally upscaled into a humble two bedroom brick and mortar house built by the community in that spot, where Vilson continues to live today.  Every day Vilson uses the respect, goodwill and convening power he earned over a lifetime of work dedicated to others to advance social justice through education, community and helping literally everyone in need. --------------------------------------------- The Vilson Groh Network --------------------------------------------- Through Vilson Groh’s leadership and that of many others, small projects have flourished and became reference organizations in communities. As time went on other organizations joined the movement, and the Vilson Groh Institute was founded in 2011, to strengthen the actions of these organizations already under the leadership of Vilson Groh. It should be highlighted that all of this work is performed in violent and marginalized communities in an extremely challenging educational context: students are initially violent, aloof, brute, emotionally undeveloped, and often going hungry. This network approach only works because every educator, volunteer and supporter is sensible and deeply aware of the realities in each community, and the Institute is extremely good at training educators. The network works through a holistic approach and engage with everyone involved: students, parents, families and the community, meeting social reality, constantly reassessing it and adjusting our approach. Today the organizations that compose the Vilson Groh Network are: == CEDEP (Center for Popular Education) - an experimental community educational organization created from scratch based on Paulo Freire’s philosophy complementary education for 600 youth and continuing education for adults == AJPII (John Paul II association) - a school for children an and adolescent education where track 1 of Pode Crer is executed == MESLM (Marist School Lucia Mayvorne) - free full time education for about 500 children and adolescents == MESSJ (Marist School São José) - free full time education for about 1000 children and adolescents == CCEA (Slave Anastácia Cultural Center) - cultural activities, support for children and youth, and tracks 2 and 3 of the Pode Crer program == ACAM (Mocotó Hill Children Friends Association) - youth education and shelter for children and adolescents in vulnerable families == AGB (Friends of Guinea-Bissau) - runs bilateral education programs for elementary and high school, as well as teacher trainings in Guinea-Bissau == IVG (The Vilson Groh Institute itself) - runs university preparation program, the Pode Crer program, multiple family and community support programs   Further detailed information about the impact of each of these organizations, check the Institute 2021 social impact report and reports from other years in the institute’s social reports page --------------------------------------------- Personal statement --------------------------------------------- Personal Statement from Eduardo da Veiga Beltrame - https://munfred.com - eduardo@redeivg.org.br I have been a very strong supporter of Pode Crer from the start, being in close contact with the Vilson Groh Institute leadership, and with over $120k donations of my own money (most of my wealth). I donated most of my would-be salary, money from a house sale in Brazil, and gave them computers, equipment, 3D printers and robotics kits. In 2022 I did a 5 week deep dive across all organizations of the Vilson Groh Institute, I talked to all the teachers, students, staff, community members, and spent a lot of time with the leaders of each organization. I also gave several 3D printing workshops to teachers and students, to make sure I understood day to day reality.  I believe Pode Crer offers a template for the future of education in Brazil and Latin America. I am extremely confident in their exceptional institutional management and in their ability to operationalize programs and train and grow teams of educators. The Vilson Groh Institute is the right institution to spearhead this change, to iterate and refine such an ambitious program, and to work with cities and governments to implement what works as public policy.",2022-09-06T01:50:17.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7603,True,True,0x6Dbd02e2CD85A443318ebEd00aeeDB0fd09ee86e,Pode Crer: Tech education for marginalized youth,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7603/pode-crer-tech-education-for-marginalized-youth,"This grant will fund scholarships of $45/mo (200 brazilian reais per month) to support 200 Brazilian youth from marginalized communities studying in the Pode Crer project of technology education. Pode Crer is already running until December 2022. Pode Crer is free, but many of the students come from very poor families and face a dilemma between studying and working to help their families - $45 is extremely impactful and helps keep students in the program until completion.  What is the Pode Crer program? Pode Crer (name after a portuguese expression that literally translates to ""one can believe"" but on daily use means something like ""right on!"") is a new technology and leadership education program tailored to bring youth from Brazilian marginalized communities into the knowledge economy. It is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute, an organization with a 40-year history of grassroots work focused in education, creating opportunity, promoting inclusion in the challenging social context of Brazilian marginalized communities. Today the Vilson Groh Institute supports a network of 8 educational and social organizations that reaches 6000 students and supports 20000 people. Pode Crer is the synthesis of these 40 years of experience into a scalable educational methodology. Pode Crer has an innovative integrative educational approach that blends technology, citizenship, communication and leadership skills.  In 2021 the program ran with 320 participants, and in 2022 with 300 participants across three educational tracks for ages 11-14, 14-18 and 18+. Over the next years the Vilson Groh Institute envisions building five Social Innovation Centers across marginalized communities in the greater Florianópolis region. These will serve as hubs for consolidation and expansion of the Pode Crer program, and as laboratories for incubation of social projects and experimentation. Pode Crer 2021 Impact  320 students participated in the 2021 iteration of Pode Crer. Of 200 students aged 14+, over 66 got job opportunities, 37 of them in technology, and 7 students were admitted to public universities. In marginalized communities this kind of impact is life changing - many participants never used a computer before. These are youth whose default career path would be to join drug trafficking, or at best low paying unskilled jobs. We are in talks with a Brazilian researcher from J-PAL (Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab) interested in doing rigorous impact evaluation and writing an academic study that will inform public policy in Brazil and the world.  If excess funds are raised, they will be directed for the 2023 implementation of Pode Crer, which is budgeted  at USD 250k (BRL 1.2M) but currently faces funding uncertainty due to the elections in Brazil. If more than USD 250k are raised, the excess funds will be directed towards the construction of the first social innovation center, which is budgeted at USD 1.2M (BRL 6M). If even more is raised, we will continue building social innovation centers, we already have the location for the first 5 selected.

Pode Crer is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute, a Brazilian nonprofit with a 40-year history that coordinates and supports a network of eight schools, educational centers and social organizations in the Greater Florianópolis region that reaches 6000 students and impacts over 20000 people. The institute’s focus is on social justice and uplifting marginalized communities in Brazil through education. Pode Crer is a new complementary education program and methodology created to shape the future of Brazilian education and society. It aims to prepare students to be engaged leaders in society and active participants in the knowledge economy. Pode Crer implements a new educational approach and curriculum that blends technology, citizenship and communication. It is underpinned by the development of leadership skills in students, tested in the challenging social context of Brazilian marginalized communities, where the program is implemented.  Pode Crer currently takes place in the city of Florianópolis, in the south of Brazil. Is divided into three educational tracks for ages 11-13, 14-17 and 18-24. The pilot program took place in 2021 with 320 young people in a hybrid format. In May 2022, its second iteration began, in a fully face-to-face format, with 300 young people, some of whom participated in 2021. Pode Crer is free and open for all. The long-term vision of Pode Crer is to provide complementary education from birth to university age. To enable this vision and to serve as hubs for the implementation and growth of Pode Crer, five Social Innovation Centers will be created across the greater Florianópolis region in locations close to partner organizations. These centers will have state-of-the-art infrastructure to offer all the educational tracks of Pode Crer continuously. The first center is planned to open by 2023 in the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis, where Vilson Groh lives, and to completely reinvent the community's image. It will feature a maker space, computer labs, classrooms and workshops, auditorium, library, co-working spaces and social spaces. About the Vilson Groh Institute Pode Crer is conceived and executed by the Vilson Groh Institute,  a Brazilian nonprofit that  coordinates and supports a network of eight schools, educational centers and social organizations in the Greater Florianópolis region. The institute’s focus is on social justice and uplifting marginalized communities in Brazil through education. The Institute and its partner organizations have a long history of success creating new educational programs serving marginalized communities and vulnerable populations in the most challenging situations in Brazil, in the midst of urban misery and violence. Because of this long experience and its institutional management capacity, the Vilson Groh Institute and its partner organizations are in a unique position to create, operationalize, and refine bold new educational initiatives for Brazil.  This network of organizations was built over 40 years of work by Vilson Groh and many other engaged individuals in marginalized and impoverished communities. At the age of 22 Vilson moved to the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis and never left. Now 68 years old and going strong, Vilson Groh’s vision and passion have blossomed into a network coordinating about 400 volunteers from all social classes. Their primary focus is on education and creating opportunities for young people in vulnerable situations.  I Summary of impact the past 10 years In addition to Pode Crer, the Vilson Groh Institute operates several other social programs that are primarily focused on youth, education, culture, community support, and family support. They reach deep into very violent communities and over years have radically changed and improved the lives of many people heavily involved with drug trafficking, violence, dysfunctional families, and lack of social and economic opportunities == An average of 4800 people took part in the institute’s programs each year == Over 7M meals offered == About $110 mean monthly investment per children in school programs == 1500 children current enrolled in full time education across partner organizations == 1000 children currently enrolled in part time education across partner organizations == 2200 families supported per year == An average of 300 volunteers each year == 225 university scholarships were provided == 450 people admitted to university after preparation courses == 2100 youth got their first job after training Social impact reports (in Portuguese) with detailed numbers between 2013 to 2021 are available at https://www.redeivg.org.br/relatorios-sociais/ The big picture problem We want to break the cycle of urban misery, violence and deliberate exclusion in Brazil through an innovative complementary education targeting vulnerable youth, and to provide an example that can be replicated across the country and serve as an example for other nations.  Global urban misery, violence, subhuman living conditions and extreme inequality was caused by growing population coupled with fast and disorganized urbanization in the developing world over the past 100 years: The fraction of global urban population went from 15% to 60%, and global population went from 1.9B to 7.8B people.  Brazil is one of the most unequal countries in the world, and one of the most extreme cases of rapid and completely disorganized urbanization: total population went from 30M to 212M, and urban population from 15% to 85%, with 40 times more people living in cities today than 100 years ago.  The thorny problem of urban misery interwoven with violence and extreme inequality is most emblematically represented by the images of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro amid the backdrop of luxury condos, but the dynamic is consistently repeated across every major city in Brazil. We have a scalable program,Pode Crer, now in its second pilot year, that achieves this by equipping youth with technical and socio-emotional skills to participate in the knowledge economy, and we have the capacity to scale it: across 8 organizations in our network we have over 40 years of experience and dozens of educational programs that reach over 6000 students and impact 20,000 people in communities across the greater Florianópolis region in Brazil.  Creating an inclusive knowledge economy and a society of leaders The Pode Crer program and methodology aims at nothing less than reinventing basic education in Brazil, and consequently the future of the country's human development. The strategy is to begin this transformation through complementary education, where it is possible to innovate, iterate and be bold. Pode Crer operates in the opposite period to the public school system (in Brazil classes happen in mornings or afternoons only) and is therefore free from many of the shackles of the education system. Pode Crer develops fundamental elements that are absent in the public education system and aims to become such a shining example of success that other educational organizations will copy it, and eventually shape the public education system itself.  While Pode Crer is currently implemented in three educational tracks for students aged 11 to 24 years old, the long term vision is to continuously guide students from one track to another, and to be expanded to offer complementary training from kindergarten to university.  The curriculum has three foundations: technology, citizenship, and communication. They were designed to prepare the student to actively participate in the knowledge economy, which demands skills that are not part of the Brazilian education system.  Beyond just technical skills, the fundamental element important is the ability to work well with people. Developing autonomy, communication and teamwork for working in a creative and dynamic environment demands emotional intelligence, awareness and self-confidence. These are elements that form the foundation of leadership, explicitly developed and improved by CEOs and executives, but typically ignored in other contexts. Creating an inclusive knowledge economy that is not insular and elitist requires developing these elements in all individuals as part of the educational system. This means creating a society of leaders. The full development of a knowledge economy also requires a society with functioning institutions and high levels of interpersonal trust. In Brazil these elements are still fraught and often absent. The country has institutions that are an important foundation but are still young and fragile. It is necessary to change Brazil's pervasive culture of corruption. This culture manifests itself through a generalized mindset of trying to get ahead of others, usually by skirting the rules or disregarding what is public and common. It is necessary to inculcate civic mindedness into every Brazilian, and a genuine regard for everything that is common, shared and public.  When implemented on a national scale, Pode Crer will be paving the way in Brazil for the creation of a society of leaders with an inclusive knowledge economy - something that still does not truly exist anywhere in the world. The creation of an inclusive knowledge economy is the only sustainable way of closing the great social gaps in Brazil. In an economy where everyone actually participates, it is not necessary to permanently resort to assistance programs or income redistribution.  Current plans: Creating 5 Social Innovation Centers The plan for the growth of Pode Crer in the near future is the creation of multiple Social Innovation Centers throughout the greater Florianópolis region, in communities where the Vilson Groh Institute operates. These centers will be structures built close to partner educational organizations that have already implemented or will implement Pode Crer educational tracks.    The first center will be built in the community of Monte Serrat.. It will be built on land given over for 30 years, alongside a partner school. It will have an amphitheater for events, an interactive library, a coworking space, a music studio, a maker space, classrooms and computer labs. Its construction is budgeted at 6 million reais (1.2M USD). About 20% of the resources for its construction are already secured.  After Monte Serrat neighborhood the next two centers will be built in the Monte Cristo neighborhood in Florianópolis and at Ponte do Imaruim in Palhoça. The first is home to CEDEP (https://cedeponline.com.br), a popular and experimental education center that has 30 years of experience with complementary education. CEDEP carries out innovative educational experiments with vulnerable youth based on the philosophy of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. The second location is home to the AJPII elementary school (https://ajp2.org.br/), where the Pode Crer track 1 pilot takes place (11 -13 years).  Location and proposed design of the first social innovation center in the community of Monte Serrtat in Florianópolis, Brazil.  If you were given $500M what would you do?  With $500M we would have a 25x more ambitious 10-year plan: Instead of 5, we would create 125 social innovation centers in marginalized communities (favelas) across Brazil. These centers will be hubs for Pode Crer, our new complementary education program created to prepare vulnerable and marginalized youth for the knowledge economy. Pode Crer launched in 2021 and currently serves 300 students across two communities aged 11-24, being free and open to all.  Pode Crer is a new educational approach tailored to Brazilian reality that blends civics, technology and leadership, equipping youth with technical and socio-emotional skills to participate in the knowledge economy. It is based on over 40 years of experience working with marginalized communities across 8 educational organizations reaching 6000 students.  Because Pode Crer is a complementary education program (running in the opposite shift to schools) it is free of constraints of the Brazilian school system. We can innovate and iterate rapidly.  The first center will open in 2023. Each center costs $1M to build and $500k per year to operate in full. A center can serve 600 Pode Crer students and reaches about 5000 community members. Each center is planned to be staffed by 12 educators and 8 support staff.  We have the institutional capacity to operate and grow Pode Crer. We are bottlenecked by fundraising. We are confident that if we have the money we can train and grow our team of educators by 50% each year. With $5M we could have these 5 centers built and operational by 2027. With $500M we would aim to create and operate 125 centers across Brazil by 2033. Instead of just the ​​Florianópolis region, we would like to influence educational policy and reshape education in Brazil.  We are talking with the Stanford University “Lemann Center for Educational Entrepreneurship Innovation in Brazil” to create studies about Pode Crer. Our goal is to put out rigorous studies to guide policy and pave the way to grow across Brazil.  The city of Medellin in Colombia has a successful “smart city” experience that informs our vision. Since the 1990s over different governments they were able to drastically reduce violence and improve life quality by re-urbanization and creating community centers in strategic locations. There are two main differences: First, our approach starts from a focus on lifelong education, while in Medellin it started from a re-urbanization plan. Second: In Medellin action started from the city government and engaged civil society, while we are starting from civil society and engaging multiple city governments.  Crucial partners we need to engage are local governments. We have deep ties with civil society in the Florianópolis region, and we work with 3 other different city governments. We believe that cities across Brazil will be receptive to our experience. Investment in our programs can be done in tranches. If we receive $5M today in a few years we will have multiple centers operating and conclusive results to support further investment in 3-4 years.  If Pode Crer was ultimately successful and fully implemented, how would the world be different?  If we truly succeed, then every one of the 50 million youth in Brazil aged 18 and under will have access to lifelong complementary education shaped after the Pode Crer approach. That means education tailored to their local realities, that teaches a civic mindset, and to equip them with the technical and socio-emotional skills needed to thrive in the knowledge economy.  We have a long term vision of lifelong education, and want to support people from birth to adult age. We are looking beyond the 10 year plan outlined for the $500M, which would reach  an estimated 75k Pode Crer students and 625k people across the 125 social innovation centers. A 25 year horizon would be more coherent with the scale of our vision. To have such a broad impact we need to influence education policy at the city, state and national level in Brazil. We believe we can do that in two ways. First by publishing rigorous academic studies that show to policy makers the efficacy of our educational approach and enabling evidence-based policy making - we are already talking with the Lemann Center at Stanford to create such rigorous studies.  Second, by having each social innovation center serve as a reference for how to implement the program and adapt it to a new community, and as a hub for training educators and program managers. We believe that as soon as the first center is completed in 2023 this will happen, and we will be ready to assist organizations outside our network on how to implement our approach.  If we truly achieve our vision, then we will have an integrated society, city center and urban periphery will not be segregated and stigmatized. We will have broken with the vicious cycle of obscene urban exclusion that occurs in Brazil. We will have achieved this by creating an inclusive knowledge economy in Brazil. That is to say, a society in which every individual in working age is able to participate in the knowledge economy. Currently this doesn’t exist in any country yet, because participation in the knowledge economy requires significant training that only relatively few elite workers have, making their labor extremely valuable. This inequality in training leads to significant social and economic inequality, as is becoming more evident every day across the US and in particular in Silicon Valley, where technology workers command salaries far higher than any other industry.  In his book “​​The Knowledge Economy”, Harvard Brazilian scholar Roberto Mangabeira Unger describes the knowledge economy as insular and exclusive, and he advocates for a new kind of educational system in Brazil geared towards enfranchising people to participate in it. We believe Pode Crer is exactly that, and we are working every day to consolidate and grow the program.  If we succeed then rather than be marginalized, every community in Brazil will be empowered  to solve their own problems, and be able to leverage modern technology. Instead of squandering youth to drug trafficking and violence with no human development, we will create a society of leaders with a civic mindset and an understanding of the powerful technologies they have at their disposal to improve the world. This will start with local communities, but it will grow: these empowered leaders will become more and more active participants in society, from companies to civic organizations to local, state and national governments. That kind of civic engagement is what Brazil needs and what we wish to foster through lifelong education with a long term vision.  We expect that our experience will serve as a template for other countries. The world would be different because through education and opportunity, underprivileged communities would be the protagonist of their rise from misery and poverty. Not big companies, not governments, but individuals themselves will have the sense of agency, the confidence, and the skills to do so.  What bottlenecks is keeping us from quickly scaling Pode Crer? Immediate funding needs: USD 250k to guarantee operations for 2023 Because of the election year, there is very high uncertainty that we will be able to secure funds from CAIXA, the federal bank that funded Pode Crer in 2021 and 2022 with 1M BRL ($200k). Going beyond the minimum: scalable growth with social innovation centers Pode Crer was designed for scalable growth, with plans to create 5 social innovation centers to serve as hubs of the program in communities where the Vilson Groh Institute already operates. Each center is designed to serve up to 1000 Pode Crer students and reach 20.000 people. A center costs $1.2M to build and $300k/year to operate in full with 12 staff, and features a maker space, computer labs, classrooms and workshops, auditorium, library, co-working spaces and social spaces.  To make things happen faster, the strategy is to raise private money to build the first centers quickly while securing government support for ongoing operational costs. If money is secured the first center can be made operational in 2023. Operating Budget - currently $250k/year for 300 youth The 2022 implementation is supported by a team of 21 people, including educators, social workers, pedagogues and administrators. The budget for 2022 is R$1.2M (250k USD). Today Pode Crer is implemented as two weekly meetings in the morning or in the afternoon, in classes of up to 25 students who have classes and workshops on two topics a day.  The primary bottleneck for immediately scaling Pode Crer is money, the 2022 budget is $250k and the program runs two days a week with 300 students total. Because we are only able to hire the educators as part-time staff, we could readily double the capacity of the program if we had twice the money ($500k) and reach 600 students total. In the current two-day-a-week format, a team of 4 educators working full-time could serve 400 students on each educational track. To offer the program 5 days a week to 400 students, a team of 8 educators would be required. Currently, the two biggest limitations for the Program are financial resources to hire the entire team as full-time staff (many can only be paid part time), and physical space for the program's activities. It is possible to double the reach of the program with the current team and twice the financial resources, with an yearly operating budget of R$2.4M (about 500k USD). Student support scholarships ($40/mo) Another challenge that we face is keeping students in class and getting some families to not pressure students to leave class to seek work, which is common with the vulnerable students from marginalized communities. Students on tracks 2 and 3 receive an allowance of R$200 (USD 40) per month during the program. This allowance is fundamental to incentivize them and their families to focus on studies rather than procuring work to supplement family income.  Physical space and locations The secondary bottleneck is location and physical space, getting to the classroom is challenging for many students, even with financial support for transport that we offer. Currently, Pode Crer is implemented in two locations due to the availability of spaces in two partner organizations and 3 educational tracks for ages 11-13 (track 1), 14-17 (track 2) and 18-24 (track 3). Tracks 2 and 3 are implemented in the city of Florianópolis and track 1 in the city of Palhoça. They serve very different communities and audiences, with different cultures. This creates a challenge for the consolidation of Pode Crer, as it is necessary to ensure coherence in the implementation of the program at each pole. But it also creates a huge opportunity for the developed methodology to be extremely robust. If all trails can be successfully implemented in two locations with distinct communities and cultures, this suggests that the implementation will be robust in new locations and cultures.  To address the space and transport issues we want to build the first social innovation center in the heart of the community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis where we have worked for many decades. It will provide high quality teaching spaces, technology labs, a library, makerspace, co-working space and socialization areas. As we expand the program we want to learn from this center to improve the design and implementation of the next ones. With more space and resources it will be possible to offer optional activities on the other 3 days of the week. Immediate possibilities that we would like to implement are focused workshops on technology, sports, culture, and to develop communication and leadership skills in smaller groups.  Team growth Finally, in order to truly scale, we will face the challenge of training and developing our team of educators. Currently we have hundreds of educators and staff in the organizations, and the 2022 implementation of Pode Crer supported by a team of 21 people, educators, social workers, pedagogues and administrators. We are very confident that we have the capacity to grow the team of educators by 50% each year, which would be sufficient to realize the vision of 125 centers with 12 educators and 8 support staff in each by 2033. We have the capacity to select good people, and train them in our educational approach, and to make them effective educators in the challenging contexts of Brazilian marginalized communities. What we need are a modicum of resources to make this vision happen even faster. If we receive $5M today in a few years we will have multiple centers operating and conclusive results to support further investment in 3-4 years.  --------------------------------------------- The story of Vilson Groh --------------------------------------------- Vilson Groh is a Catholic priest who in 1979 moved to the marginalized community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis and devoted his life to enfranchising marginalized communities, using lifelong education and advocacy to bridge pervasive urban exclusion. This work continues today: now 68, living in the same place in Monte Serrat and still going strong, Vilson continues to use the respect, goodwill and convening power he earned over a lifetime of work dedicated to others to advance social justice through education and community. Vilson was born and raised in Brusque, a city founded by German immigrants in 1860 in the state of Santa Catarina. He came to Florianópolis in 1978 to pursue graduate studies at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). Soon after Vilson moved to the marginalized community of Monte Serrat in Florianópolis, which back then had no running water, sewage, paved roads, electricity or any kind of service. It was the quintessential favela, a Brazilian shantytown growing uphill without any kind of government oversight or regard, with rampant crime, violence and drug trafficking  Vilson devoted his life to enfranchising marginalized communities, using lifelong education and advocacy to bridge pervasive urban exclusion, and this work continues today. For decades Vilson lived like the poorest, in a wooden hut, like most people around him. For that to change it took his mother demanding that he live with a modicum of dignity when many around him had brick and mortar houses, she refused to visit him for a year. He finally upscaled into a humble two bedroom brick and mortar house built by the community in that spot, where Vilson continues to live today.  Every day Vilson uses the respect, goodwill and convening power he earned over a lifetime of work dedicated to others to advance social justice through education, community and helping literally everyone in need. --------------------------------------------- The Vilson Groh Network --------------------------------------------- Through Vilson Groh’s leadership and that of many others, small projects have flourished and became reference organizations in communities. As time went on other organizations joined the movement, and the Vilson Groh Institute was founded in 2011, to strengthen the actions of these organizations already under the leadership of Vilson Groh. It should be highlighted that all of this work is performed in violent and marginalized communities in an extremely challenging educational context: students are initially violent, aloof, brute, emotionally undeveloped, and often going hungry. This network approach only works because every educator, volunteer and supporter is sensible and deeply aware of the realities in each community, and the Institute is extremely good at training educators. The network works through a holistic approach and engage with everyone involved: students, parents, families and the community, meeting social reality, constantly reassessing it and adjusting our approach. Today the organizations that compose the Vilson Groh Network are: == CEDEP (Center for Popular Education) - an experimental community educational organization created from scratch based on Paulo Freire’s philosophy complementary education for 600 youth and continuing education for adults == AJPII (John Paul II association) - a school for children an and adolescent education where track 1 of Pode Crer is executed == MESLM (Marist School Lucia Mayvorne) - free full time education for about 500 children and adolescents == MESSJ (Marist School São José) - free full time education for about 1000 children and adolescents == CCEA (Slave Anastácia Cultural Center) - cultural activities, support for children and youth, and tracks 2 and 3 of the Pode Crer program == ACAM (Mocotó Hill Children Friends Association) - youth education and shelter for children and adolescents in vulnerable families == AGB (Friends of Guinea-Bissau) - runs bilateral education programs for elementary and high school, as well as teacher trainings in Guinea-Bissau == IVG (The Vilson Groh Institute itself) - runs university preparation program, the Pode Crer program, multiple family and community support programs   Further detailed information about the impact of each of these organizations, check the Institute 2021 social impact report and reports from other years in the institute’s social reports page --------------------------------------------- Personal statement --------------------------------------------- Personal Statement from Eduardo da Veiga Beltrame - https://munfred.com - eduardo@redeivg.org.br I have been a very strong supporter of Pode Crer from the start, being in close contact with the Vilson Groh Institute leadership, and with over $120k donations of my own money (most of my wealth). I donated most of my would-be salary, money from a house sale in Brazil, and gave them computers, equipment, 3D printers and robotics kits. In 2022 I did a 5 week deep dive across all organizations of the Vilson Groh Institute, I talked to all the teachers, students, staff, community members, and spent a lot of time with the leaders of each organization.

Time is our most precious resource, yet the tools to manage it are still frustratingly ill-suited. The likes of Lettucemeet and Doodle require inputting options, sharing manually, chasing people, then finally scheduling reminders and agreeing on a channel. On the other hand, tools like Google Calendar or Calendly were designed for scheduling groups within the same company, groups that share the same email domain and don’t mind making their calendar visible to one another. These Web2 tools might work when you’re a corporate employee but are of little use when half your team is anons or some of you work across multiple DAOs. That’s why we’ve been building a scheduling tool that’s open-source and DAO-contributor-centric. In the first iteration, we create a Calendly-like functionality with privacy protection: no need to give anyone your email, just share your wallet and the tool will create a calendar invite for each of you, with no need to exchange personal data. Recently, we integrated with ENS domains and Lens protocol to make scheduling even easier. And now, we’re seeking to take scheduling to the next level by enabling the group to find the next available slot, in as few clicks as possible.

Origin of name: The name ""Stabfi"" comes from the confluence of the words ""stable"" and ""finance"". Stable + Finances = StabFi We are creating a multifunctional service. Here are some of its features: Minting tokens. In a few simple steps, you can create your own ERC20 token for the project (it is possible to add Minting / Burning capabilities to the counter) from a completely secure OpenZeppelin smart contract. Locking tokens. Freeze any tokens (ERC20) for a certain period with the possibility of extending the blocking. (Use case: For example, locking liquidity tokens for projects after launch). Blocking is done on your own smart contract, open source without proxy. Airdrop of tokens. Send any of your ERC20 tokens to multiple recipients at once. Completely secure solutions are used in different networks. Vesting of tokens. Create vesting schedules in a convenient constructor with any number of rounds and unlock conditions of any complexity. Generate CSV files to pay out tokens to all recipients in one transaction quickly. Claimy app. Turn your vesting into a participant's office, design it in the style of your project and forget about payments to participants in the vesting. Now they will be able to monitor their own vesting schedule and withdraw available funds through Claimy! Funds are locked in your own Claimy smart contract, open source, and without proxy.

Use Case: Imagine a coffee grower in Mexico who practices agroforestry to grow their crops (because it's a pragmatic and generative way for them to work). In order to make ends meet they band together with other farmers and pool their resources as part of a cooperative. Even though the co-op gives them a degree of scale to leverage, the affordance of certifications like ""organic"" are too expensive or cumbersome to administrate (because of the plurality of practitioners and plots that would each need to get certified). They are barred at the institutional gates. However these days we can do better! Enter LunarPunk_Labs as digital intermediary. We work with smallholders and their representatives to enable them to reach their highest common potential in aggregate. In this case we're talking about agroforestry; so we facilitate workshops to learn about and determine the regenerative functions of their ecosystem (e.g. metrics such as tree diversity on-farm, nearby forest density etc.). We then construct concept notes with the functional requirements for translating their practice-based methodology into credits, credit classes and 'ecological state protocols'. Our assumptions are then checked with our expert advisors and consultants to avoid unintended consequences. Once credits are issued and the protocol goes to market, the co-ops and their members have a new form of revenue. More specifically: The wider field of action at play here is the reconciliation of active inference with distributed monitoring, verification and reporting. These instruments are used to convert bottom up practice-based methodologies into hardened concept notes and functional requirements for specifying open-source ecological state protocols. These concept notes are licenced under creative commons, and the protocols will then be deployed on open-source networks (e.g. Regen Registry, Celo, etc.). The significance of this undertaking means that in order to be viable, vital and evolutionary, we'll need to operationalise across several domains of activity at once. Consequently we see our use of funds needing to be distributed across the following organisational ecology: Use of funds: - Research - Design - Development - Marketing - Education Why? 🔒 Bypassing gatekeepers to generate equity 🔑 Gatekeepers are frustrating because they hold back scientific progress and legitimate regenerative practices with their myopic demands for legibility. We want to help the long tail bypass them in order to onboard a cosmos of eco-credits and other forms of indescribable value that will increase the well-being of life on earth. > We are facilitating the development of ecological state protocols that serve people and planet by harnessing markets, science and technology. For whom? 🧞‍♂️ The long tail of small-hold farmers; our key metric is a gini coefficient 🧞‍♀️ Regenerative transformation will be driven by the long tail; not the instutitions of academia, government nor big industry. Our energy is best spent there. We serve enviromental stewards and the regenerative technology community at large. Beyond this we are aware that disruptive technology brings unintended consequences. JEDIs represent justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in their process design (). Consequentially we act as a digital intermediary that helps level the playing field for local earth stewards and their representatives who wish to interact with a rising tide of 'network states' and 'digital republics' (ideally the latter).

Learn more about this radically open experiment here. This project is being championed by Carbonbase because of their exemplary impact. How does it work? In the Brazilian Amazon, forest land that is not used for ""productive activities"" can be claimed by the government then turned into cattle ranches or exploited by illegal loggers. Revenue from this offset project helps local villagers to acquire legal land ownership rights of their ancestral home and protect it from being taken over by the cattle and logging industry. It will also pay for agroforestry training workshops so that the locals can improve their livelihoods (i.e. by planting sustainable cacao trees) while protecting the rainforest. The covered area protects over 400 families from being displaced and empowers them to protect the forests. Why did we choose this project? The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most precious and diverse natural resources on the planet, but also one of the most vulnerable to disappear for commercial purposes. The location of the project makes it an ideal area to be protected, standing at the edge of the deforestation frontier: about 95 percent of all deforestation occurs within 50 kilometers of highways or roads. The government plans a highway to go through the project area - this project is the last defense to prevent destruction. The project builds up the local community's capacity to monitor and evacuate loggers. The project is part of the award-winning sustainability programs of Allcot, with more than 10 years of experience in forestry project management and training that help deliver sustainable development to the local communities served. What is the impact of additional funding? Funding prevents 3,000 hectares from being deforested annually. For every hectare of land (the size of a rugby field) not cut down or used for cattle pasture, there are 500 tons of CO2 stored in trees (above and below ground). This project supports the local population: over 400 families will no longer fear being displaced. By contributing to the project, you empower the local people to protect the forest. The amount of reduction in emissions through avoidance for the entire project is 553,273 tons of CO2 per year. Prevention of net emissions over the project lifetime of 40 years is more than 20 million tons of CO2. How do we verify the impact? This project has been independently verified in accordance with the Verified Carbon Standard. You can view at anytime the public project page and offset credit retirement history below. Verra was founded in 2005 by environmental and business leaders who saw the need for greater quality assurance in voluntary carbon markets. Verra serves now as a secretariat for the various standards it develops and programs it manages, as well as having an incubator for new ideas that can generate meaningful environmental and social value at scale.",2022-09-06T12:41:23.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7624,False,False,0xf9d71b5fB8345F2508C1302a74d4362DEAb7D104,Projection Proliferation of Web3,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7624/projection-proliferation-of-web3,"Proposal Overview We at LightItUpDAO intend to become one of the first blockchain enabled production companies. We are building a community for people who are passionate about creating art with light. We want to be together, and we love to display enormous, generous images in outdoor spaces to delight, inform and inspire the public. In part, our purpose is to raise awareness around causes and groups that need visibility, and we want to partner with organizations to educate the public about the collective, public, or social benefit of the organization. We also want to support digital artists by putting their indoor digital art outside on buildings. We want to educate artists about DAOs and Crypto advocacy. We desire to teach what we have learned to the members of our DAO and other interested parties. We will educate organizations about the DAO and Crypto space and the workings of the ETH network. We will educate our partners and the public about DAO formation and the benefits of DAO governance, and onboard them to Web3. We are people who want to spend all of our time in Web3.

Surveillance capitalism results from coordination failures to protect it. The recent AFAC ruling that outlawed financial privacy in crypto proves this point: we need better coordination mechanisms to protect the technological commons — in our product design, in regulatory policy, and in the public consciousness. Yeet is on a trifold mission to address this collective action problem by: Guiding the web3 dialogue toward a consensus around commonly accepted ethical standards and practices for privacy, dignity, and consent in emerging tech Reduce the coordination costs among founders, investors, and operators who share these goals Secure an agentic, anti-authoritarian, self-sovereign technological future Why It is helpful to think of privacy, consent, and human dignity as a commons — one that needs protection through the collective action of decentralized but highly-coordinated individuals committed to building agentic, ethical technologies. We must collectively exit the game theoretic race to build, ship, and break things faster than the other guy — all the while concentrating the benefits and socializing the costs to secondary users and across generations. Yeet exists exactly for this reason: to lower the coordination costs among a decentralized network of founders, funders, and operators who all share similar, prosocial technological goals. How At Yeet, we interrogate key concepts, organize fireside chats hosted by internal and external thought leaders, encourage the emergence of ethical design consensus, and produce content that distills the insights from our shared learnings for the broader public. Yeeters are founders, operators, and investors that represent organizations such as Aspen Institute, Aztec, Bluesky, Centre, Disco, Espresso Systems, Ethereum Foundation, Filecoin, Fission, Flashbots, Polygon, iden3, KYCDAO, Nucleo, Privy, Protocol Labs, Soulbound Labs, and many more projects at the frontier of crypto privacy, identity, and sovereignty. Prior and upcoming firesides have included: Self-sovereign data rails with Bluesky Privacy as a commons with Privy UX design discussion: identity, reputation, and community Encoding prosocial values in game design with KERNEL Privacy policy in a post-Tornado Cash world with Electronic Frontier Foundation MEV and privacy with Flashbots and RookFi Our key differentiator is our vetted, high-trust, members-only environment, as well as community enforcement of good-faith communication principles. These conditions are necessary to inspire honest dialogue, fervent but respectful disagreement, strong rapport, and reliable coordination among a decentralized network of builders and investors. In turn, these qualities seed the emergence of consensus about baseline standards for agentic technologies that advance rather than deplete human dignity. What's Next? What started from a simple Telegram group grew into a high-trust, high-signal discourse club for builders and investors. We convene on Slack, Notion, and Zoom to engage in open dialogue, pressure-test new ideas, develop frameworks of thought, and cultivate consensus around acceptable tech standards, design choices, and social externalities. Over the past three months since our founding, we identified opportunities to further our mission: 1. Agentic Future Summit No amount of remote firesides, no matter how engaging the speaker or thrilling the subject matter, can ever replicate the effervescence of in-person interaction. The success of our mission depends on trust, which is built on strong rapport. We plan to organize the Agentic Future Summit, a side event at SXSW 2023 to gather the best thinkers and builders committed to securing a dignified human future with technology, including a series of workshops, focused talks, and intimate networking opportunities. This grant will go towards space rental, catering, marketing, equipment, and people’s time to organize and run it. Delivery Date: March 10-19 2023 (SXSW 2023) 2. Privacy & Identity Landscape Map Founders of privacy-preserving protocols and projects that leverage decentralized identity are left on their own to navigate the labyrinthine ecosystem of infrastructure, data rails, DID specifications, encryption methods, and applications on their journey to define a critical path to product market fit. And new ones are emerge almost weekly. This chaotic, creative, and hopeful space would benefit from an interactive, searchable, and dynamically updated map of the privacy and identity landscape to encourage greater awareness, coordination, collaboration among builders and funders. We plan to: Build a public website providing a taxonomy of projects allowing for hierarchical and categorical filtering and searching, including: Identification: What the project is Use cases: What (end-user) problems this project helps solve Differentiation: How this project differs from others Technical analysis: Answer questions such as “what user data stays private?” and “what does the user have consent over?” Provide an interactive graphical representation of the landscape. Periodically publish Gartner-style updates similar to the Thoughtworks Technology Radar. Delivery Date: Ongoing 3. Content & Miscellaneous Almost all of our discourse intentionally remains private, members-only content. This is by design. After all, discretion is what makes Yeet a unique, safe, and honest place to debate, debrief, and disagree. But once half-formed ideas turn into inspired action, our shareable learnings should see the light of day! We want to allocate funding toward the production of a public podcast as well as articles and social media content. In addition to developing Yeet’s external voice and presence, grant funding would help offsets costs associated with async collaboration software, web development and hosting, and other internet services. Team There are 60 members in the discourse club, which is run by a small, agile team of core contributors who volunteer their time: Anastasia Uglova (Mirror | LinkedIn | Twitter) Howard Tam (LinkedIn | Twitter) Chad Fowler (LinkedIn | Twitter) Grant funding will empower us to expand and accelerate capacity by compensating members for writing and delivering content, planning in-person events, handling outreach, programming, and scheduling for firesides, maintaining teams bios, contacts, and administrative work, and growing our membership.

Supporters Emil Kendziorra (Tomorrow Biostasis) Kai Micah Mills (CryoPets) Vincent Weisser (VitaDAO) and many more coming soon Great read: ""Why Cryonics Makes Sense"" by Tim Urban More about cryonics research Human cryonics matters because it has the potential to allow people to be preserved at the cellular level and revived in the future. This could potentially allow humans to be resurrected after death. There are many research breakthroughs that still need to be made. Cryopreservation, or the process of freezing cells, has been used for years by medical laboratories to preserve animal cells, human embryos, and even some organized tissues. However, it is not currently possible to revive large animals or organs from a frozen state. Large vitrified organs tend to develop fractures during cooling, and without cryoprotectants, cell shrinkage and high salt concentrations during freezing usually prevent frozen cells from functioning again after thawing. Ice crystals can also disrupt connections between cells that are necessary for organs to function. Cryonicists argue that, as long as brain structure remains intact, it is possible to recover its information content. Cryonics proponents go further than the mainstream consensus in saying that the brain does not have to be continuously active to survive or retain memory. Cryonics controversially states that a human survives even within an inactive brain that has been badly damaged, provided that original encoding of memory and personality can, in theory, be adequately inferred and reconstituted from what structure remains. Cryonics uses temperatures below −130 °C, called cryopreservation, in an attempt to preserve enough brain information to permit the future revival of the cryopreserved person. Cryopreservation may be accomplished by freezing, freezing with cryoprotectant to reduce ice damage, or by vitrification to avoid ice damage. Even using the best methods, cryopreservation of whole bodies or brains is very damaging and irreversible with current technology. Cryonics advocates hold that in the future the use of some kind of presently-nonexistent nanotechnology may be able to help bring the dead back to life and treat the diseases which killed them. Mind uploading has also been proposed.

We envision a world in which the wisdom of the crowds is used for social good, a world in which companies are held accountable for their actions. As a community, we will leverage our collective capital and expertise, and we will move mountains. Awake makes it easy for investors to have their voices heard at the companies they own. Whether you own stock through a brokerage, a pension or a 401k, you should have a say. We act as the missing link between shareholders who care about complex issues and the fund managers voting on their behalf.  A long-form version of our origin story can be found here; otherwise, here is a summary of what’s happened and what’s next. What’s happened We set out to build a decentralized activist hedge fund to fight climate change. After lots of research, we found the current regulatory environment lacks sufficient guidance and would leave us on uncertain legal footing. To be inclusive of all investors, our model no longer requires a pure DAO structure We rebranded from ClimateDAO to “Awake” to reflect a conscious investment approach. We launched the private alpha version of the platform. What’s next In the next two months, we plan to onboard our first 10,000 users to our public beta. We’ll engage our community to help determine our first campaign Form partnerships with players in the ReFi Ecosystem where objectives align Refine our web application (click it) How we will use Gitcoin funding  Onboarding the first 10,000 users for climate action - 40% Focus our first campaign on climate positive action Research and develop a campaign that provides the greatest impact Pay for marketing our campaign to reach the widest possible audience Approach the targeted company about making changes with the data we gather from the campaign Pay for server and API calls associated with running the campaign on our web app Plaid integration to verify share ownership Database fees Hosting fees Storage fees Other Infrastructure as a Service tools Open source research on the viability of on-chain shareholding credentials - 60% Pay research contributors to conduct a literature review of existing research Gap analysis - identify opportunities based on what needs exist and what products are currently available Include section on the legal ramifications of on-chain shareholder voting credentials Investigate the role that zk technology could play in shareholder privacy Why are we building this?

If you or someone you know is interested in partnering with us, reach out to @waxmanelliot on twitter. Notes on Round Eligibility Climate: Now that we've built V1 of the platform, we're gearing up for our first campaign.The first campaign (and most others) will be advocating for a public company to address its climate record. For this campaign to have legs, we need to reach thousands of shareholders.To do that, we are launching a marketing campaign (which requires advertising dollars). Aligned with our mission of tackling climate change through increased retail shareholder engagement, we're hoping to do a research sprint on on-chain credentials for shareholder voting rights. Shareholder activism can play an important role in addressing the climate crisis. Public companies are responsible for a majority of global GHG emissions and are governed by their shareholders. We are building the rails for shareholders to exercise their power at the companies in their portfolio and advocate for the climate.To learn more about the role that shareholder proposals can have in tackling climate change, see here, here, and here.",2022-09-06T16:35:06.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7635,True,True,0x1D346c4F0732674a1fc69b4bAFBa854F53353C35,AdMeta - A Privacy-preserving Advertising Platform tailored for Web3 and Metaverse,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7635/admeta-a-privacy-preserving-advertising-platform-,"Online advertising is in greater demand than ever before. However, due to the current situation of the advertising duopoly (Google Ads and Facebook Ads), the challenge of user privacy is gradually emerging. Privacy laws are being tightened globally, but Google and Facebook are still in violation of GDPR. Users are forced to watch endless ads, risking privacy breaches, yet advertising fees are earned by the advertising platforms. AdMeta solves this problem by giving the ownership of user privacy back to the users. With zero-knowledge proof, users are able to control and use their private data for advertising matchings, without exposing the data itself. By doing this, users are directly rewarded by advertisers. We also introduce DID (decentralized identity) and SBT(Soulbound Token) to our platform, to enrich users' data for the best advertising services. Also, our audience segmentation is tailored for Web3. We start this project on September 2021, and now we've already built an MVP including WebApp and our Blockchain Testnet. We are currently building our extension and SDK, to allow advertisers and users to access our network easily.

We are part of GravityDAO - together with my colleague we are building an Observational Psychological Research. We have a weekly meeting on TEC discord server in the Gravity voice channel every Monday at 11am EST. Observational research consists of systematic observation. “Systematic” involves a rational and reproducible procedure for collecting data. Data can be collected using a video recording device or a questionnaire. When the study is ready and the research is done, it will be published on an academic platform and Gravity Medium. Surveys are one of the most popular ways to find out what people think and one of the most common research methods in psychology. To build our research we needed to focus on specialized articles (from specialized literature). The main intention was to search for articles that talk about mental health in:  work-family balance, remote work, sleep deprivation,boundaries, routine, shared identity, sadness, stress  in personal life and DAOs.  What do the articles say? In the It’s a New Era for Mental Health at Work, digital article, by Kelly Greenwood & Julia Anas (2021) we see that 68% of Millennials and 81% of Generation Z  left their jobs for mental health reasons. When compared to the data collected from 2019, 50% of respondents in general left their roles both voluntarily and involuntarily (34% in 2019 ). “Ninety- one percent of respondents believed that a company’s culture should support mental health, up from 86% in 2019.” (Greenwood & Anas, 2021). Expectations of the study:  -informative and applicable for Web3 space  -the research and our studies will be helpful for many DAO contributors  -we measure progression over time  -it's replicable  -striving to implement psychology in DAOs  -raise awareness and bring psychologists to the space  -harmful mental health factors that are work relatable   -isolate good practices for web3 and beyond  -gather preliminary research data that will be used for further developments The Solution  We see psychological tools being used in different areas, especially around Token Engineering Commons (TEC). But our goal is to have this field where we pay more attention to our surroundings either online or in real life and especially to ourselves. Our idea is to bring tools and resources that people will be able to get help from and feel safe if they need to talk to someone.  After collecting the results from the survey, the next step is to analyze it and create a free application where: psychological help is offered, guidance to a specialist psychologist, techniques and practical methods in different areas. We consider it ideal to offer our services to other DAOs. Also we want part of the application to have a social function -Where people can talk about how they feel. Only together we can build! The link to the survey-  https://gravity.trabalhovivo.net/ Our team  We are two women with a background in psychology leading this initiative, involved in the DAO space for 1.5 years. We are enthusiastic about promoting mental health in the DAOs space. Since December/2021 we have been working on the creation of this research: showing our idea of the implementation of psychology in web3, gathering data and articles from different platforms, integrating with the community and finding that our research and desire to provide psychology to the DAO space was needed. Together we collected more than 25 references and we got a collaboration with Universidade de Brasília- Brazil (University of Brasilia) to develop the survey and publish the research in an academic way.  We can't wait to take on new challenges and come up with useful solutions for the entire Web3 community.  Our journey in Web3 has begun! We need funding for the development of the application and for new future research directions related to psychology and Web3.  P.S- Our website is in the finishing stage, it will be ready soon.",2022-09-06T17:01:39.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7637,True,True,0x1848cF2BBBC49E9e9DB226b0d341eAAB6eDCfB79,ENS Turkish Community,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7637/ens-turkish-community,"TurkishENS: It aims only for Turkish information about ENS (Ethereum Name Service) Domain/Domain Name and its usage.

More and more clubs have been created and the sales performance of each club has been constantly changing. Also, the floor and sold price are under wide fluctuation.  In order to constantly catch up with the market and better make their own ENS transaction decisions, name holders have growing demand to have a clear idea of the changeable ENS market sales performance.  However, since it is still a new market, the sales information is still scattered around all kinds of platforms including social media like Twitter and marketplace like the Opensea.  Therefore, in order to have a clear idea of the market performance,  users have to spend a lot of effort and time to go through different information channels to gather the scattered sales information, which is indeed hard and very inconvenient for them What we do Our website is a platform showing aggregated and in-depth sales information of ENS domains by extracting all the sales records from Opensea, Looksrare and other ENS marketplaces.  It shows the overall sales data including sales volume, sales ranking, average sold price, floor & highest price of different clubs (e.g. 999 club, 3letters club) within different periods of time. What’s more, we provide a convenient filter function for users to easily find the exact sales information they want. Here, users can filter sales information by different time period, different clubs, different name categories(e.g. Repeat 2, descend 3) .  Moreover, we visualized the sales volume and sales price into a dynamic chart. Users can easily find  the price change and volume change by day of the specific types of names they select (e.g. Repeat 2 for 999 club in last 30d).  By using this functions, users can easily follow up on the ENS market trend. Besides that, we also provide all detailed records of each ENS name’s sales.  Users can also rank the sales records by date/ sold price/first digit. Our value for ENS We focus on accomplishing the following for ENS: Usability - improving the user experience Instead of spending a lot of effort to go through different platforms to gather the scattered sales information, users can conveniently have a comprehensive view of the ENS transaction market by using our website. Also they can easily find the exact information they want using our filter function.  Community - growing the ecosystem We see that the market is rapidly growing and it is really hard for every active user in the community to constantly catch up with the market. WIth that idea, we want to be their support. By tracking all the transaction data in the ENS market and providing up-to-date insights, we hope we can let more community members easily understand the changeable market and let other newcomers see how promising the market is. Moreover, we believe our data can be a kind of tool for a lot of other brilliant community members to use to build up other powerful things. In the end, we can together help grow the ecosystem. Education - Generating & Promoting content and educational resources about ENS  Although more and more people are joining the ENS market, most of them still don’t have a thorough idea about the ENS market insights. Our website wants to educate users to become more expert in the market. Here, they can learn how to better use the data to discover insights of the market. For example, from the price chartthey can see when the price goes up and down and know when the market is prosperous and when to buy/sell their own name property. Future Development Plan With the grant, we want to develop our website into a more powerful market analysis platform. Two more functions are under development: (1) More visualization： Apart from the price chart, we are also considering to develop more visualization tools including sales volume chart, floor price chart and etc. We believe with more powerful visualization functions, users will find it more convenient to cultivate insights of the market. (2) Intelligent future forecast: Besides past sales data analysis, we also want to include future forecast function into our website. By analysing the past data, we can forecast future average sold price and volume of the ENS market. We believe this function will help more users master the ENS market.

We are Sugoi protocol 🌱 Who? Sugoi is web3’s first green savings protocol where users can deposit their stablecoins, earn interest, and be able to redirect a percentage of that interest towards environmental NGOs. Users are incentivized by social impact, tax deductions and special rewards like NFTs. What? We call Sugoi a green savings protocol because as you earn yield on your savings you also create impact for environmental causes hence our motto “park2impact”. How? Sugoi is a fully decentralized protocol that generates yield on users' deposits by depositing into decentralized lending protocols i.e. Aave and then automatically donating the yield while giving users access to their deposit with earned yield anytime. We also plant a tree for every time user makes a deposit to Sugoi ☘️. In future, Sugoi will have an SDK to enable other web3 protocols to add green savings feature to their product. Why? Today, there are a lot of stable coins in digital wallets today doing nothing. When we deposit money in a traditional bank that money is put to use by lending it out and earning yield for the bank. Sugoi was born while brainstorming how we can in fact — “park2impact” putting your stable coins to use. Our core thesis is that there is a wide market of individuals who own stable coins but don’t know how to put them to use. Sugoi gives users the ability to both earn yield and create impact in a way no other crypto native solution has attempted. After doing some research we found most individuals who own crypto have yet to use Decentralized Finance in any way, shape or form. We believe a few factors contributing to this would be the learning curve and onboarding hurdles. At Sugoi we are building an intuitive protocol with easy-to-use UI and docs that will enable smooth onboarding process to DeFi for the average native and non-native crypto user. Team? We are a team of three reimagining web3 for social impact with Shraddha leading, Mateo building, and Luciano expanding the Sugoi protocol. We’d be so grateful for your support in GR15 as we build web3 first must-have green savings protocol. Thank you!

To our knowledge, W3WS is the only existing advocacy group specifically devoted to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the DeSci space. TLDR: Web3 Women in Science aims to onboard and support women in science as they navigate web3. Since January 2022, we have developed communication and networking hubs and facilitated numerous speaking opportunities without funding. We now seek funding to launch a compensated contributor program and evolve into an incorporated non-profit.  In January 2022, W3WS initially began as a series of Twitter Spaces devoted to amplifying the voices of women in DeSci. Inspired by this movement, a Telegram group was soon created to facilitate networking, and today this group has 161 members. As the needs of the community became more complex, plans for a full-fledged organization with branches for recruiting and onboarding, training and advising, and support and advocacy began to emerge. In June, a Discord server was launched with a structure in place to facilitate introductions and networking, aggregate DeSci community events, and provide access to liaisons from partner DeSci organizations to help newer contributors find their best fit in the DeSci ecosystem.  We currently have 97 verified Discord members (75 female, 20 male, 2 nonbinary), 49% of whom have completed onboarding by posting responses to our self-introduction questionnaire. Our server hosts liaisons from five partner DeSci organizations and counting: DeSci World, Vibe Bio, NeuraDAO, talentDAO, and AthenaDAO. We are also partnering with the women-led professional growth community xCollective to gather and analyze web3 compensation data in order to promote salary transparency and aid contributors with negotiations. Finally, in addition to our own Twitter Spaces, we have been called upon to organize panels at virtual conferences, including ResearchHub’s SciCon 2022 and the upcoming Academic Web3 Conference, significantly expanding the limited opportunities for women in DeSci to access high-profile speaker slots. W3WS is now ready for its next evolution. To date, all initiatives have been 100% powered by a small team of volunteers, and unavoidable expenses (e.g. web hosting) have been covered by the founders. As we scale up and take on more numerous and ambitious projects, a different organizational structure is required. We are here requesting funds to: (1) launch a compensated contributor program and (2) to cover the consulting costs and fees required to formalize our organization as a legally recognized non-profit. The groundwork has already been laid for immediately actionable applications of the contributor program in content creation and research. Several writers, editors, and illustrators in the community have self-assembled with the skills and passion to produce a blog highlighting women’s journeys in DeSci. Our researchers are also poised to gather elusive data on the demographics of the DeSci landscape and develop data-driven plans to improve diversity. By recruiting, onboarding, and supporting women, we shift DeSci demographics towards a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive future, which is also bound to be a more sustainable and successful future.

Backstory: Genesis Era: The Ancient Schools of Enchantment competed to build magical Portals & Passages scattered across the Lootverse, and powered by rare Enchantment Gems; Age of Exploration: Adventurers traveled the world from Realm to Realm, to Dungeons, to Wonders, through Enchanted Portals & Passages managed by the Guild of Navigators. The Mist: Portals were abandoned, their locations forgotten. But fragments about their existence survived in tales of the past. Age of Adventure: The Council of the 16 Orders and the Guild of Navigators tasked scholars from all Orders to locate and revive the Enchanted Portals & Passages. One by one Portals are being unearthed. Soon, Adventurers will voyage through, reaching faraway Dungeons, entering foreign Order lands, bowing down before Wonders, going back in Time… It draws from deep loot lore: Portals & Passages is built with a CC0, composability, building block mindset, and aim to offer new possibilities for builders and writers to include movement of Characters across Places and Eras in their projects. The Portals mapping (e.g. each Portal's location) will be generated by users, during the portals rediscovery (e.g. mint). Compatible ecosystems where users can define a location for their portals will be Realms and Crypts & Caverns to start with, and the contract will make it possible to add other ones over time. It will be possible for a given Portal to have a location in each compatible ecosystem, in the sense that a Portal magically coexists in different worlds, thus connecting them together. Portals could be seen as 'web3 hyperlinks'. Indeed they create connections both: between places in different on-chain worlds, through the coexistence of a given portal in different worlds; between places in a given on-chain ecosystem like Crypts & Caverns dungeons, by enabling all kind of builders creativity ideas on how to link 2 portals located in 2 different dungeons together. Portals come with on-chain SVG visual. We introduce an innovation on that front, by enabling multiple different SVG renderers, that users can choose from for their own Portals. We'll start with 2 original renderers (e.g. 'Loot OG' and 'Portals OG atmosphere') and it will be possible to add more over time (incl. renderers submitted by 3rd parties, like partner projects). Users can pass a byte array of customisation params that renderers can interpret (for example for letting users customise the background color). So for example referenced ecosystems where users can locate their Portals projects could also optionally develop and submit a Portals SVG renderer in cohesion with the atmosphere of their project (added to the list holders can choose from).",2022-09-07T02:43:52.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7653,True,True,0x320ec92821Aa0ce1523CEd0B0a2054A0a981Ac58,UNDR1ROOF WEB3 FOR THE HOMELESS,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7653/undr1roof-web3-for-the-homeless,"LAST YEAR WE HOUSED 5 PEOPLE USING OUR PROOF OF CONCEPT.

The next book we’ll make will be “Welcome to ReFi” in partnership with ReFi DAO to help people navigate and join the ReFi movement. Thank you for your support - you rock! And we love you!  TreeHouseDAO is a brand new web3 co-creative publishing house for public goods information that serves people and planet.  Our first project has been co-creating an open-source handbook for aspiring regenerative village builders. This handbook is already becoming an actionable blueprint which enables, guides and assists aspiring builders to start, design, govern and incorporate their own regenerative villages. This is based on feedback from the re:build community (an organisation supporting localised events for village builders) stating a strong communal need for support. Why do we need Tree House DAO? There is no other web3 publishing organisation that focuses on regenerating the planet. Why do we need a regenerative village builders handbook? Especially since lockdown, many people have realised there might be a better alternative to being packed in concrete boxes, stacked on top of each other in increasingly hot cities that rely on fragile supply chains. Those of us looking for other ways of being want to live in regenerative villages that gives us a sense of true belonging, a connection to nature, to each other, and a sense of personal and collective purpose. But the process can seem daunting and complex, this means that many people get stuck in analysis paralysis and struggle to progress; therefore there is a need for a simple guide created by those who have already walked the path of regenerative living. It is a complex, fast paced, ever changing landscape as more and more alternative ways of living and being are being experimented on. This means that a lot of progress and experience is happening constantly. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, there is a need for alignment of patterns, processes, successes and failures. With more and more fully functioning prototype villages, this means that there is plenty of real world experience to draw from.   How is the book writing being kicked-off? Hosted as part of the re:build events series, and during a two week long Village Builders' Mastermind workshop at the Traditional Dream Factory (TDF) - a prototype village of Oasa Network - a group of 22 established regenerative village builders from around the world has convened to share knowledge & experience in order to co-create the open source Regenerative Village Builders' Handbook for aspiring regenerative village builders. What does TreeHouseDAO do to make a book? Assisted by the in-house TreeHouseDAO team of designers, writers, creatives who distil and visualise knowledge and the vast amounts of information generated we have a first draft of the book, the mastermind takes the participants on a fun, engaging journey of content creation to bring the book to life. Using a unique TreeHouseDAO created methodology we are able to co-create an entire book of 200 pages in just 10 days. Culminating in an open day where 15 more people from our extended community can come and critique the book and help finesse its content. We intend on repeating this process for all other organisations who wish to publish an open source book on any topic that helps regenerate the planet and its people.

Classrooms, grading systems, and similar structures were designed for the height of educational centralization and are heavily outdated. Blockchains are paving the way for decentralized peer-to-peer networks with programmable incentive mechanisms to emerge and create self-sustaining economic subsystems. Thus, it should be possible for us to experiment with cutting-edge learning techniques, incentives, and designs. Yet hardly any tooling is available to support that kind of experimentation.  We’re here to change that. Educational tooling needs a structure of structures — a hyperstructure — crypto protocols that can run for free and forever, without maintenance, interruption or intermediaries. Good education evolves, good minds evolve, tools improve, so the tenets of hyperstructure enable an open protocol where a massive diversity of approaches can exist on a unified data layer and hopefully birth an explosion in interoperable learning innovation, the community-driven creation of universal education, the meta public good. To simultaneously meet the ever-growing need for education in the web3 community and beyond and to iterate on learning experiences in a manner that will allow the right primitives for hyperstructure to emerge, our inaugural experiment will leverage community expertise and pedagogical knowhow to rapidly create robust learning experiences on important emerging topics. These learning experiences will be offered to the community for open-source consumption, but if learners prefer a peer-to-peer learning experience, we will also offer cohort-based courses as rapidly as the content is curated. These guerilla style CBCs will surface the primitives that should be incorporated into a hyperstructure, scaled, and ultimately computed over and optimized. In this mission, a Gitcoin grant serves two purposes: 1. To fund the contributors who are developing curricula for the CBCs 2. To fund developers working on the emergent primitive infrastructure we derive as a result of our learnings from the CBCs Whether your lens falls on the developing metacrisis and humanity's clear failure to coordinate at the scale necessary to secure a longterm safe future, the rising costs and sinking outcomes of traditional education, the political divisions that cause and are caused by that failure in the status quo, the growth of misinformation and censorship targeting those least likely to survive them, the current erosion of professional opportunity for our most talented educators, or all of the above—the need for change, for conscious optimism, and for tinkering in our educational systems could not be more clear, or more urgent.

The goal is to empower climate leaders and decentralized communities to drive the transformation towards regenerative growth with our PERMISSIONLESS climate-action tool. Menthol Protocol is a web3 protocol with a foundation in place paving the way for our Menthol DAO which offers climate-positivity-as-a-service, including the entire end-to-end-process of calculating non-avoidable emissions, curating high-impact tokens, and purchasing these respectively in real-time. Tokenizers of environmental impact tokens love working with us, as we create a continuous business model between them and their customers. The first set of environmental impact tokens are CO2e and renewable energy credits. Our mission is to live decentralization, but with regeneration first. Hereby, our first aim is nothing less than to turn the entire web3 space climate-positive, across all L1, L2s, dApps, communities, and individual wallet users. Forever. With just a few clicks. No-code integration allows for high interoperability across chains.    After fine-tuning this solution to decarbonizing web3, we want to offer the same service to any individual, community, or organization in the non-web3 world (web2). The first step towards climate change is reducing the individual carbon footprint through changes in behavior, new processes, and innovation. The second very important step to combat climate crises is calculating your non-avoidable emissions and over-compensating for them through for instance the mechanisms of the carbon offsetting market. Menthol Protocol automates this second step and brings climate positivity to anyone unleashing all ReFi projects. There is no excuse for turning climate positive, never has it been easier.  We strongly believe that we can build a leading climate-tech DAO amplifying existing ReFi ecosystems and building jointly towards a regenerative tomorrow with a self-motivating community capable of cooling the world with our tech. We are 100% directing the requested funds from this grant to the offsetting efforts of web3, starting with projects mainly on Ethereum and Polygon. It will be used to develop incentives and awareness programs for projects and individuals to understand what CO2e impacts are and how to offset their carbon footprint in the web3 world. Menthol Protocol is building a public good to allow eventually any individual, organization, and community on planet Earth to offset their respective carbon footprint in a transparent, automated, secure, and verifiably impactful manner. Menthol Protocol is also then expanding into other impact tokens (starting with environmental). We will be working on developing unique carbon footprint calculation metrics and methodologies for blockchain networks (web3) and the energy sector (web2). Our carbon footprint calculator will be open source and will be improved parallel to the scientific-based research, also published. There are many scientific metrics and methodologies for off-chain carbon footprint calculation, especially in the aviation, chemicals, and oil & gas industries. However, the web3 and non-web3 ecosystem is developing every other day as well as the methodologies to calculate non-avoidable emissions.  We are a 20-person strong team, and growing, from all over the world covering every continent, and are ready to turn climate crises into climate action, serving, in particular, the ReFi web3 actors as an intelligent middleware. We have specialists on board and will further produce sound scientific literature and analysis not only on the calculation side but even more importantly on the supply side of high-quality impact tokens, starting with CO2e credits and renewable energy tokens.  See Our Cool Team Here: https://www.mentholprotocol.com/about We’d be so grateful for your support in GR15!   Thank you!   Follow us on Twitter to Stay Cool! @MentholProtocol Menthol Protocol Team ",2022-09-07T07:11:36.000-06:00,GR15,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 7663,True,True,0xe4458d575e5D6867e6A9e52dED44cef8c0F888F8,Cryptomurals - Street art as public good,https://gitcoin.co/grants/7663/cryptomurals-street-art-as-public-good,"Cryptomurals is a blockchain-based platform focused on promoting and preserving the best street art worldwide, making it accessible as a public good.

Cryptomurals Cryptomurals aims to be a living archive in the Ethereum blockchain that allows navigating the history of all the layers of murals painted over the years on the same wall - we call it ""The Wallchain"".  Cryptomurals public gallery will be the digital home to curated geolocated murals, with a dynamic map that allows exploring cities in gamified street-art huntings.  2. Collaborative experiences We believe that art is for everyone. Cryptomurals run local initiatives to support artists to create murals and tokenize their artworks in cities around ETH community events.  A geolocation-based scan system will allow participants to claim new murals and unlock exclusive content such as animations, AR experiences, or NFTs.    3. Street-art hunters community Our platform will allow a collaborative process where individuals provide insights on the state of the artworks by city, securing the preservation of the heritage and keeping the archives updated.  The community will collaborate asynchronously in challenges around inclusion, culture promotion, and web3 adoption initiatives to fund street art as a public good while playing around. It's a tool that can be used by anyone who wants to make their city a more beautiful place.  4. The future of Cryptomurals Cities and art festivals can integrate Cryptomurals as the leading platform to archive the cultural heritage of the murals in their location. We want to make it easy for anyone to use web3 tools to share their local murals with others worldwide.  Insights in the Cryptomurals platform will nurture the community's collective intelligence and the decision-making around local-run initiatives. Opportunities can include quadratic voting to promote new murals geolocations or support the renovation of existing spots. We are a group of street artists and tech enthusiasts from Latin America who believe in inclusion thanks to art workshops and renovation of public spaces such as basketball yards, Sk8 parks, etc.  We believe in street art as a public good.  5. Contributions We're thrilled to share that we're making progress with our mission.  Along with the ETH Colombia community, we are building Cryptomurals graffiti tours to propose a street art hunting experience for Devcon6 visitors. Participants will discover Bogotá and unlock exclusive content in our genesis. The experience will be organized by Cryptomurals and developed by Doingud.  We're excited to continue on this journey with the progressive support of our community, and we hope you will join us in our quest to extend the values of decentralization to fund public goods.

We are launching a Web3 Social username service called FantomNames.org where anybody could mint their very own web3 domain username with a .fantom extension. The .fantom extension represents the Fantom community. Once the username is minted it belongs to the user forever (no renewables). ### Strengthening bonds within the Fantom community Many people are already using .eth names as usernames on Twitter and other social media. Imagine the same happening for the Fantom community. Having your own domain extension is good for spreading awareness and it also strengthens bonds between members of the community. ### More than just a domain Web3 names are a digital identity. Fantom members can use domains as usernames when they log into web3 apps. They can also attach additional data to a domain, like a website URL, or a Twitter handle, or email address. Or they can use domains to easily send tokens and NFTs to each other. The Fantom Names service is built on top of the Punk Domains protocol that is the go-to protocol for many big projects like KlimaDAO, Smol Brains, Layer2DAO and more. ### Many possible integrations Any dApp or web3 frontend can easily integrate with .fantom domain extensions. The protocol is completely permissionless and the code is open-sourced on our Github: https://github.com/punk-domains ### Minting fees => Public Goods We are firm believers in public goods funding. That is why 50% of the domain minting proceeds will go into funding public goods projects on Fantom. ### The future & conclusion Web3 Social is arriving in a big way. There are many projects building different parts (lego blocks) of the upcoming Web3 Social. Usernames (aka “domains”) are one of these building blocks. The whole idea is based on the fact that every user owns their online identity and the content they produce (posts, comments, images, etc.) Web3 names are the integral part of Web3 Social. They mainly serve as usernames, but can also hold additional (optional) data such as homepage URL, image data, email address, etc. Let’s bring the Fantom community into the Web3 Social space together! - Website: https://fantomnames.org/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/PunkDomains - GitHub: https://github.com/punk-domains",2022-11-27 14:40:37,FANTOM,0x089e0079dacd3c682f9e9a9ee90b7354cf706c0c1f737afbc8f389e166c5f06a,PENDING,2022-11-27 14:40:37,0xebdb4156203c8b35b7a7c6f320786b98e5ac67c3,0.0,80,tempe-techie,punk-domains,PunkDomains,Gitcoin,2,Yes,"It's a web3 domain protocol that can issue multiple domain extensions.

Allowances are an important part of using these apps, but can be dangerous if left unchecked. Bugs can exists and exploits can happen even in established projects, and by approving token allowances you are potentially exposing your wallet to these exploits. To keep yourself safe from allowance exploits it is a good practice to regularly inspect and revoke your allowances. Revoke.cash comes in as a preventative tool to manage your token allowances and practice proper wallet hygiene. By regularly revoking active allowances you reduce the chances of becoming the victim of allowance exploits. In many cases, phishing websites try to make you sign an allowance while they pretend to be an NFT mint or other legitimate use cases. When these phishing scams happen, it is recommended to use Revoke.cash to mitigate the damage, but it is even better to prevent the scam in the first place.

We’re using Fantom rails to facilitate near-instant in-game transaction settlement for arena matches, self-custodied user inventories and “faction” armories. We’re designing a new v2 tokenomic model and smart contract system - replacing token inflation with platform fees as the driver of in-game incentives’ and healthy ecosystem participation. We’re focused on providing the maximum value to users, and building the most kickass gaming community on the blockchain - or anywhere else. We had a pretty unusual route to “finding ourselves” as a protocol. Last March, we launched a yield optimizer platform called Magik.Farm, intent on generating fees to keep the lights on while the market tanked. Our lead game developer Kyle started off as a community member. So did our operations manager Brett. In fact, every member of the Magik team has come from its community (myself included). We’ve spent close to $0 on marketing or advertising. We’ve never raised funds/vc or dumped tokens for project runway. We’ve been a net accumulator of MAGIK.

Through its wide range of products (Farms, Shadow Farms, Liquid Wrappers and Upcoming Marketplace for incentives) LiquidDriver can drive a deep and sticky liquidity to its partners, while providing optimized yield for its users. LiquidDriver firepower relies on $LQDR emissions combined with adapted tokenomics that incentivize the long term interests alignment of all its stakeholders. The protocol has been designed to acquire substantial governance power over the emissions of strategic protocols, on any EVM compatible chain. The long term objective of LiquidDriver is to reduce $LQDR inflation to [10%-15%] annually. In order to achieve that goal, LiquidDriver focuses its effort in the acquisition of governance tokens that will back $LQDR value. Therefore, It is in the interest of LiquidDriver to incentivize a deep liquidity in those protocols, as well as providing products that allow users to extract optimized yield out of those protocols. As of today, LiquidDriver’s governance power is as follows: - 36% of SpiritSwap governance power (Solidly-like DEX - Fantom) - 31% of Hundred Finance governance power (Cross-chain Lending Platform) - 1.2% of THENA’s governance power (Velodrome-like DEX - BNB Chain) - Upcoming investment already voted [1%-1.5%] of Velodrome governance power (DEX - Optimism)","As deployed initially in June 2021, LiquidDriver was a fork of Sushiswap Since then, LiquidDriver carried out the following improvements: Implementation of the “revenue sharing vault” to which xLQDR holders can access. xLQDR is the locked version of $LQDR based on the veCRV contract from Curve Finance. Implementation of liquid wrappers to accumulate governance power over protocols on Fantom. “linSpirit” liquid wrapper to lock inSpirit from SpiritSwap on the back-end. “liHND” liquid wrapper to lock veHND from Hundred Finance on the back-end. Those contracts are based on the cvxCRV contract from Convex Finance. Implementation of the “Shadow Farms”. Shadow Farms are a cutting-edge type of farm that take an LP token as an input, stake & farm the governance token on the issuing protocol, swap the governance token for its interest-bearing version, stake the interest bearing version and auto-compound the rewards into more interest-bearing version. Unlike a classic auto-compounder, users of Shadow Farms get on average higher rewards and are taking a long position on the interest-bearing version of the token, as opposed to the LP token being autocompounded.

No ready-to-use solution for anti-fraud and sybil prevention in Fantom ecosystem. There are already hundreds of DApps running on Fantom, most of them will need to airdrop their core users. There are Oracles and general data services such as the Graph, Chainlink and etc., but no team covers anti-fraud and sybil prevention sector. Sybils gain tokens with systematic methodologies, they harvest a large number and dump tokens very quickly, causing negative price volatility and taking a toll on the community. When Fantom community projects are about to airdrop, giveaway or do other promotions, they will need to battle sybils and bots on themselves, and only to find themselves hands tight: few of them would maintain a team of specialized data scientists or developers. Therefore, Optimism and Gnosis Safe have turned to the community's help for sybil detection, which works to certain extent but was really not efficient. 2. Trusta will serve the unserved and provide unique data services for Fantom Ecosystem. Trusta founders are top-tier experts in the AI and security area in Web2.

As Fractal Studios grows, there will continue to be new use cases developed, and given its cross-chain capabilities, it is an ideal candidate to expand to supporting other projects’ ecosystems. We have released a number of products over the course of the past year, including: TheGenerative.Network which provides permanent, passive income immutably via smart contract.

Whether it’s buying packs, trading cards with friends, building a killer deck, or the gameplay itself, this promises to scratch that childhood itch. The cards feature art from multiple talented artists, including some of the biggest names in Fantom NFTs, and the lore is second to none. Of course, there is a lot more to a card game than the story and art, and you can rest assured that we are making absolutely certain that gameplay is properly balanced. And with multiple rarities and classes, gameplay will be constantly evolving as players create new tactics and strategies. As you can see, we have been busy, but we still have so many more plans.

That will keep Fantom's ecosystem users engaged and educated especially in the BEAR Market. The grant is mainly used for 3rd party auditioning, building the community, and the development and operation costs before we can be self-sustained. The project is to create living creatures that are fully built on the chain for relaxing gaming and much more. Fantoman (trainer) & Fantomonstre (creature) token complies with ERC721 standard and 'LifeCycle' (LNFT). It means they have their unique 'Life Cycle' in the contract (the law of life is immutable). The Fantomonstre started with an egg, grew, and evolve based on the training and food given with the transactions from time to time. It will die and resume back to an egg if not taken care of (you can also delegate/loan to another wallet) or get too old. It is a brand new concept that has 'living creatures' in the blockchain. FTM has the speed and very low fee to make this fully on-chain. Spent some time with your Fantomonstre and they will help you to earn $FTM via tournaments and leagues. These will help Fantom Opera to maintain user engagement through the bear market (It is like working at 'McDonald'). Since it is fully written in FTM contracts and stays in the blockchain forever, any project team could cross-collaborate with this project. E.g. Paintswap, 8BIT, etc. The project is aimed at self-sustaining. The treasury will receive $FTM from the advertisement, social spending in the game, and tickets for events and tournaments and 100% of it will fund the reward for the Fantoman that raises their Fantomonstre and compete or work for the Fantom World (operate like decentralized Google, Facebook/Meta model). The project can be bootstrapped by any sponsors sending funds to the project treasury for the reward.

Infrastructure Layer Entangle Oracle Blockchain is an EVM Blockchain specialized for storing, distributing, verifying and validating information created with the Cosmos SDK based upon Ethermint with an addition of EVM Module. Entangle Oracle Blockchain facilitates Entangled Distributed Oracle Solution to facilitate transactions for all the Entangle applications and developers needing an efficient, secure and cost-effective Oracle Solution. Entangled Distributed Oracle Solution can help any dApp on any blockchain for the collection, storage, verification and validation of data in order to replicate states cross-chain and automate their smart contracts given their respective event-triggers, giving benefits such as: Oracle-Specific Blockchain (Not burdened with other transactions) Cheap Gas and Customizable Parameters (Partners can define their own logic and expenses) User-Friendly for Developers (Write contracts in Solidity) Developers can launch self-defined Spotter Smart Contracts inside Entangle Blockchain and hire keepers with their custom Oracle Backend Off-Chain Scripts to collect information to be verified, processed and redirected towards their aggregator smart contract connected to their dApp for event triggers and data-upkeep. Developers can hire as many or few keepers as they need depending on the sensitivity of the data and set their own consensus parameters within the spotter smart contracts. By virtue of its infrastructure, Entangle is able to simplify access and aggregation of liquidity across different blockchains and to provide secure opportunities for protocols to scale their liquidity cross-chain. Along with routing liquidity cross-chain to protocols, Entangle has built mechanisms which maximize liquidity retention and capital efficiency to incentivize sticky and loyal liquidity in the DeFi Space. Entangle dApp 1) Cross-Chain Liquidity Aggregation through Synthetic Vaults One example of Synthetic Vaults are Synthetic LPs mirroring the state of the base LP asset on a different chain. Synthetic LPs are minted 1:1 to Physical-LPs and are based on an initial pre-liquidity given by liquidity providers, to be scaled given demand by intricate rebalancing mechanisms whilst avoiding the usage of 3rd party physical bridges. Users can be exposed to yield cross-chain without ever having to leave their “home” chain through Entangle's Internal Limit Order Book DEXs, by exchanging Synthetic LPs on any chain representing LP positions on any other chain. Entangle dApp 2) EnUSD - Fully Collateralized Cross-Chain Stablecoin Users can borrow EnUSD against their Synthetic LP tokens as collateral ensuring both capital efficiency for the users, and sticky liquidity for the protocols which host the underlying physical LP of the Synthetic LP token. Entangle hosts Liquidation Engines for EnUSD natively on each chain with dynamic LTV parameters, minimizing impacts of black swan events by optimizing liquidation rates real-time based on volatility and underlying asset health. Entangle is actively partnering with perps and other derivative protocols to bring further utility to Synthetic LPs. Users can provide Synthetic LPs to perps protocols to achieve an APY% return, whilst protocols can use cross-chain liquidity as a base achieving a higher possibility of scalability. Entangle aims to act as a universal liquidity layer empowering a truly omnichain future with stronger and more fluid connections between blockchains, allowing more opportunities for users, protocols and chains to emerge. Impact of Entangle Any protocol on any chain can further scale by attracting omni-chain liquidity from users it didn’t have access to before - most importantly they can attract efficient and sticky liquidity from any chain as users can borrow EnUSD with yield-bearing assets (Synthetic LPs) as collateral and Synthetic LPs can be recycled into derivative protocols. Through Synthetic Vaults users are able to provide liquidity from any chain to for example FTM in one-click without having to bridge assets, administering multiple wallets and going through multiple steps and transactions, helping FTM to attract liquidity from chains it previously could not and ultimately a larger user base in an easy and intuitive way for the end-user. Given demand, Entangle can scale the initial liquidity deposited on FTM without relying on 3rd party external bridges in most circumstances through its “Soft Rebalancing” mechanism, achieving seamless accessibility for any user on any chain within the Entangle Framework. Furthermore, Entangle users can provide their Synthetic LPs (based on underlying liquidity provided to FTM) to derivative protocols such as Rage Trade to be used as base liquidity for their perps strategies. This enables users to earn additional revenue on top of being exposed to yield by providing liquidity to FTM, indirectly incentivizing them to stay invested, achieving sticky and loyal liquidity for FTM. A real applicable process example: (2 types of Entangle users; Liquidity Providers and Normal Users) → example with Spookyswap on FTM Liquidity Providers lock their USDC within Entangle for 3, 6 or 12 Months, by choosing either a Stable Vault or a Mixed Vault On the basis of USDC locked and which type of Vault, Entangle will get LP Tokens on Spookyswap by providing Liquidity, and accordingly mint Synthetic LPs on each chain's Internal DEXes, divided equally within the Entangle Framework Entangle autocompounds the LP tokens, and as these rise in amount and price, Entangle's Oracles relay this information to other chains Internal DEXs for users to realize the yield on their Synthetic LP Tokens Normal Users have USDC in a wallet on any network of choice within the Entangle Framework Users select a pool (Synth-Vault) they would like to be exposed to (e.g.FTM/USDC), by depositing USDC in exchange for Synthetic LPs Given enough demand and an overflow of USDC in that Internal DEX, a rebalancing event is triggered for scaling purposes, where there is more USDC deposited into the underlying LP on Spookyswap, and more Synthetic LPs minted on other chains. Users have now a yield-bearing Synthetic LP, which can be used for: 4a) Depositing the Synthetic LP as collateral to Borrow EnUSD, capped at a certain LTV decided by Entangle's Volatility Indicator, the users can use it on any chain within the Entangle Framework for many utilities, like utilizing the accrued governance powers by holding EnUSD in the Entangle DAO. As a plus, borrowing EnUSD through Synthetic LPs means that FTM can full-fledged act as a backing for EnUSD, therefore FTM would get more utility through Entangle. 4b) Earning more yield by recycling this liquidity into derivatives protocols ",2022-12-02 13:50:47,FANTOM,0x8c191a7c5d4b7d10cc8d5fee240a84e67f071122e7e5e19aacf3ccd9c149e674,PENDING,2022-12-02 13:50:47,0xebdb4156203c8b35b7a7c6f320786b98e5ac67c3,0.0,250:0x8e1bD5Da87C14dd8e08F7ecc2aBf9D1d558ea174:88,,https://github.com/Entangle-Protocol/,Entanglefi,"VCs and local family funds, self funded initially.

In the year and a half plus of its existence, PaintSwap has risen to become the leading NFT marketplace on Fantom Opera and is now ready to expand, creating a fully realized project on that same ecosystem. This proposal will detail some of the unique features that PaintSwap is ready to bring to the already vibrant community of Fantom Opera. Everything that will follow has been done without any outside financial support. Imagine what we could do with funding. Continued Pioneering through Constant Commitment The focus of dApps residing on Fantom Opera at this time should be the attraction and retention of outside, unaccounted-for capital. To this end, PaintSwap released an ambitious road map highlighting the features that we will implement to attract new users into our ecosystem while serving and maintaining users already present. A few of these upcoming features will be listed and expanded upon below. fNFT Marketplace The next wave of technology in our sector could well involve financial NFTs and the security offered by them. PaintSwap is determined to make Fantom Opera a cornerstone of this major opportunity. We are already well on the way to making a secondary platform tied to the main PaintSwap marketplace that is dedicated to trades, sales, and interactions with fNFTs. Cross-chain Marketplace and Contract Factory Our success in attracting and supporting over 1300 NFT collections on Fantom Opera demonstrates that there is a hunger for reliable, decentralized support of NFT collections throughout the crypto community. This hunger, however, has recently been impacted by an imbalance of creation versus liquidity in various ecosystems. PaintSwap intends to return vitality to the Fantom NFT community by introducing the many incredible creators and builders on our marketplace to other chains. This will result in the cross-pollination of liquidity pools, introducing new users to all chains and projects involved. Global NFT Tracking with Option to Hide Rather than leaping into the implementation of our Track-All subgraph, PaintSwap has chosen to take a more measured approach to increase user control and decrease the potential for malevolence. We will implement an advanced, customizable interface to hide content from contracts on a user-level basis, along with certain larger-scale controls to allow the concealment of known malicious contracts. Building Creative Solutions PaintSwap’s NFT marketplace is a built-from-scratch solution based on the needs that were present in the Fantom community at the time of conception. Since that time, the team has continued to expand upon the foundation of proactive measures addressing the opportunities of the future. In fact, several of the implementations that have been introduced are uniquely available on PaintSwap, even when considering readily available markets on other chains. Bulk Actions PaintSwap brought brand new technology to the Fantom Opera scene with the implementation of our various Bulk Actions. Simplifying processes for Buyers, Sellers, and Project Managers using revolutionary, gas-conscious construction that makes the site and its Solidity scalable to support massive volume. Bulk Listing, Transferring, Offering, Burning, and more are all available as single transaction events on the PaintSwap platform, saving time and money for all involved. Customizable Statistics With the release of v3 of the marketplace came our advanced statistics interface, which allows the user to customise displayed metrics and time frames on a global or collection level. This provides invaluable buying insight for all purchasers, regardless of what metrics they observe when doing their own research on projects. This, in conjunction with our BubbleMaps partnership, creates a level playing field of unfiltered information on which all users of the platform can engage responsibly with new and existing products. On top of that, Project Managers (or even active community members) can both generate a social media-ready postcard of collection statistics and embed a live iFrame of collection stats on websites. These features are publicly visible and available to all, maintaining our standard of easily accessible, decentralised information. ERC 2981 (Native Royalty) Support PaintSwap has always enforced creator-designated royalties on sales. Our stance on this matter is very clear. We do this both through our UI (for collections without the native contract standard) and through enforcement of the ERC 2981 Solidity standard. In order to assuage any concerns about malevolent collections imposing outrageous royalty percentages to discourage selling or profiteer from user ignorance, PaintSwap caps royalties at 7.5%. This, along with our marketplace sale fee of 2.5% make the maximum liability for a seller 10%. This is nothing new. PaintSwap has maintained these standards long before it entered the zeitgeist; in fact, this has been our policy since the inception of the marketplace. Maintaining Expected Standards Rather than spending any more valuable time digging into the minutia of certain items, the following will be a list of the many standards upheld by PaintSwap. Many of these are found nowhere else on Fantom Opera, and some are rarely found on any chain.

What have we built so far? Since our launch in November 2021, we have built the largest pixel metaverse on blockchain complete with unique environment and character designs. We have also built an inventory system that allows a user to trade NFT wearables and use them on the blockchain. Lastly, we have integrated multiple Dapps in the $FTM ecosystem and other networks that are fully interoperable within the 8BIT Metaverse. This year alone, we have partnered with more than 40+ NFT and DeFi projects including Dapp Radar and Clover wallet. Where would we use the grant? Although we are confident that we are able to produce the whole P2E game and provide additional functionalities within the metaverse with the funds that we have raised from our Netizen sales last year, any additional funding will help us achieve our main goal - which is to attract more players and communities The grant will be used to: 1. Fund research on 8BIT Acedemy (8BIT learn) a pixel game that will help educate users on GameFi, token farming, DeFi, and most importantly blockchain security! Think of it as a gamified education system. 2. Form an aggressive WEB3 marketing and partnership team that will stay up-to-date with the current NFT trends and maintain good relationships with other NFT communities cross chain. 3. Hire senior game developers who can work on additional P2E games. 4. Marketing fund for twitch and NFT gaming influencers. Your vote, big or small, is important to us.

We are an innovative Web3 solutions company passionate about decentralization and making a level playing ground for every participant in crypto by creating unbiased systems that distribute wealth in a fair system. What is Bulletproof Productions mission? Bulletproof Productions mission statement is simple “Turning cents into Dollars 💰’ for Artists with Killer Beats.”. We give the power back in the hands of the artist and the fans so they both benefit from creating and enjoying the music they love. How does Bulletproof Productions achieve its mission? Bulletproof Productions is built for artists and fans first. Unlike the current content distribution systems, Intellectual Property management systems and royalty payment systems, where all capture value from the Artists creation and fail to pass it back to the original creator. Let's break it down! The current Content Distribution system is flawed in many ways, but one of the most important failures that directly impacts the artist is: it favors content distributors over talented content creators. The distributors of content end up getting most of the returns generated by the artist's content. Bulletproof Productions utilizing blockchain technology with Audio NFTs running on our specially designed Decentralized Content Distribution System allows artists to publish and share directly with their fans, who pay cryptocurrencies to support the artist and enjoy their creations. The artist gets the funds directly from the fans and the fans directly support the artist. This is where Bulletproof Productions puts the artist and fans in direct contact to create this mutually beneficial relationship. In the future, content consumers (fans) won’t be paying a subscription fee to platforms and will directly give to content creators (Artists) they love & support. Bulletproof Productions brings the future to now with its current Decentralized Content Distribution System. Current Intellectual Property management systems and copyright law protects the artists / creators work, although they need a definitive registration system to prove ownership. With current distribution systems and the amount of data on the internet anyone can download and use your creation and it will be nearly impossible to track down every use. Even if you do find every individual use, you then need to pay legal fees for every copyright breach, which will most probably outweigh any financial gain. Enter Bulletproof Productions Audio NFTs with a blockchain transaction and timestamp, usage tracking, digital audio watermark copyright protection all living on a distributed ledger that guards your Intellectual Property by making each piece of content uniquely addressable. The above ways in which Bulletproof Productions solves the current Content Distribution and Intellectual Property problems allows the Artist / Creator to gain max benefits from Royalties. The Artist doesn’t need a middleman or to wait for their royalties to be calculated, skimmed, deducted before they get their cut. The Artist can view, verify and claim their royalties in real time, instantly! But what about the fans … Fans also suffer paying for content they don’t even listen to or enjoy. Furthermore, they don’t get to contribute directly to the success of their favorite artist or be a part of their upcoming. They have no way of proving they were there from the beginning before the Artist became a multi-platinum record selling star. There is no direct relationship between the Artist and the diehard fans. Hold on… now there is! With Bulletproof Productions a fan can personalize a track by recording onto an existing track from the artist and own that unique copy, at the same time the artist receives Royalties because the fan used the artist’s track. Now the fan can also get royalties if anyone uses the fan’s unique copy! Raise funds on Bulletproof Productions Anyone can use the Bulletproof Productions’ website to raise funds just by recording or uploading any audio content they create. For example, you would like to raise funds for the local sports club you are a member of, a school, a hospital, a friend in need, a project or anything that you think deserves financial assistance. You record or upload onsite an audio message from yourself, your local sports clubs theme song, a poem, details about a project or anything you deem relevant to the cause. In return you get a playable link to share your newly created Audio NFT on any platform for others to donate their support by minting a unique copy of your Audio NFT. To check how much money you have raised go to the Royalties page to see how much you have raised so far.

Making Infinity Wallet the complete solution for all crypto users’ needs, while making adoption and usage of cross-border payments, DeFi, NFTs and Web3 easier than ever before. Infinity Wallet is also the first desktop platform to provide users with access to the entire Web3 and DApp space without needing to leave their wallet, with the first Web3 browser and Web3/DApp store directly within the platform (https://docs.infinitywallet.io/infinity-wallet/features-and-notable-advancements/browser-less-dapps-and-web3). Finally removing the need to ever use unintuitive browser extension wallets again! Providing a far superior, safer and more natural user experience, with a range of unique advantages/benefits for users, DApps and chains alike, while enabling easier use and adoption. The problem today is that while wallets are the most fundamental component required for usage and adoption of DeFi, Web3, crypto payments, a chain and its ecosystem, they are one of the least well developed applications in the crypto ecosystem. Wallets currently act mainly as an interface, serving primarily as a transaction signing layer, with very limited functionality or direct features/services/protocols (users generally have to search, find, learn and interact with many different applications and services), and are generally lacking in basic UX, while providing very unprofessional, hard to use and aesthetically poor user interfaces. This has been sufficient for the early adopters in crypto, however, for the next billion users to onboard to DeFi and Web3, a more curated and high quality user experience is required. Infinity Wallet steps in to fill this need, as a one-stop hub for all payment, DeFi, NFT and Web3 activity. Providing a unique all-in-one wallet solution with a full spectrum of services, features and protocols in a premium platform, with a focus on delivering a seamless decentralized user experience and a user centric interface.

The more you engage with WigoSwap, the more you contribute to the scalability and stability of the protocol. WigoSwap’s comprehensive Web3 platform provides DeFi services including DEX, Yield Farming, and Staking, with the lowest transaction fees in the Fantom ecosystem (only 0.19%). A clean and responsive user interface means that DeFi Degens and crypto newbies can quickly familiarize themselves with the WigoSwap protocol and feel completely at home. Alongside WigoSwap’s standard DeFi offerings, exclusive products like WigoGalaxy and PREDICT inject fun and bring even more earnings opportunities to the seamless Web3 experience we provide. One of WigoSwap’s many advantages is that as engagement and numbers of users increase, the unique Gamified Burning Mechanism or GBM removes tokens from the circulating supply to extend the emissions distribution period without exceeding the 2B token hard cap. We try to do things differently on WigoSwap, and we sum up the protocol with this one sentence: WigoSwap enables you to trade your tokens efficiently, earn passive income, and have fun in DeFi. The WigoSwap team includes experts and enthusiasts who have been believers in Fantom for years. We know that for a network to succeed, it needs to attract users via innovative, scalable technology and practical applications that showcase the network’s capabilities. Powerful and groundbreaking DeFi protocols have been developed on Fantom, but due to a lack of attention to user experience and usability, these complex platforms have been unable to attract inexperienced users. WigoSwap fills this gap with a DeFi platform combining sophisticated tools and a carefully designed, pleasing visual interface. From the outset, our aim has been to build an easy- and enjoyable-to-use DeFi protocol that leverages the capabilities of the Fantom network and lowers the barriers to entry that limit new users. Several key factors sustain our competitive advantage: - Simplicity and comprehensibility: We think user-centric, create simple solutions for real problems, and avoid complicated terms and over-specialized solutions. DeFi should be the answer to users’ problems and not the cause of more problems. Belief in effective simplicity guides our products, the user interface, and the documentation we produce. - DeFi with GameFi: We inject an element of fun into DeFi through WigoGalaxy rich user profiles and mini-games. WigoGalaxy opens a new world of gamification in DeFi. - Sustainability and scalability: WigoSwap’s tokenomics and deflationary mechanisms are designed around sustainability. A hard cap of 2B limits the total circulating supply. Through the Gameified Burning Mechanism, a significant portion of the WIGO is removed from circulation and reallocated to emissions rewards. Long-term, with sufficient user engagement, it’s possible that WIGO will be deflationary! - The lowest possible transaction fees: Transaction fees on WigoSwap are only 0.19%! - Art and NFT: The WigoSwap team is connected to a network of artists with whom we are collaborating to build an NFT marketplace (WigoMarket) focused on high-quality collections. Users on the platform can already mint a unique and exclusive NFT Wiggy character usable as a PFP. More Wiggy-themed collections are on the way as we lead up to the launch of our marketplace! As a new project born in the bear market, we spend our resources optimally on things that can have more impact and bring more users to WigoSwap: 1- We plan to focus increasingly on GameFi. Our recent investment in the excellent game RedWest marks a vital step in this direction. We believe that GameFi can play a critical role in growing DeFi services. 2- Another key component in our GameFi strategy is WigoGalaxy, an area of WigoSwap where we will continue to develop and offer fun and profitable mini-games that will serve as a portal for users to experience gamified-DeFi. 3- We will grow the Fantom NFT ecosystem with Wiggy NFTs, the NFT Marketplace, and collaborations with reputable artists. 4- In addition to the above, we will soon release the WigoSwap Launchpad and WigoRun, through which blockchain startups can access accelerator and fundraising programs and resources to support their expansion on the Fantom network. 5- WigoSwap's $FTM Liquid Staking will come in Q1 2023!

The game board pays homage to the FTM community because all properties and game pieces are protocols and NFT projects from the chain's most recognizable builders. Many consider GameFi to be the hook that will onboard millions to web3 and blockchain entertainment. This is a very likely outcome; however, many games worth playing have a considerable learning curve and the time investment needed to acquire an edge can be exhausting. Being mindful of that, I hope to create a game that requires no such experience -- because the chances are high that any given person already knows how to play ""Monopoly."" In this way, it aims to be a gentle way to lure newcomers to Fantom by giving them a game they already understand. Spiritopoly also serves to educate those players about our ""spooky"" ecosystem, because the properties and game pieces should encourage them to want to know more about their origins. Thus, it'll be a symbol of the tight-knit creative family that has been forged over the last year. The game is being built with Unreal Engine 5, and as such, the graphics are being designed with the highest quality in mind. An initial NFT mint was launched with the goal of raising funds to subsidize the cost of game development. Much of the art has been completed because of that, but now additional funds are needed to hire an experienced Unreal developer, who will help bring the functionality of the game to life. With support from Fantom x Gitcoin, I hope to complete a visually-stunning game that will spark some nostalgia ... and surely lead to some heated arguments!",2022-11-15 05:17:26,FANTOM,0xda2686113cbc5670c9e5c532b4373bb04cbd0abf4cd0188ef20c2e70ef33ca1c,PENDING,2022-11-15 05:17:26,0xebdb4156203c8b35b7a7c6f320786b98e5ac67c3,0.0,25,,,0x_aspenth,Yes - NFT mint helped incentivize the creation of game art assets,2,No,"Easy to learn game helps introduce newcomers to the Fantom ecosystem by showing them which protocols and projects are most valuable and respected.

Modefi has been created from scratch to give developers multiple options to integrate the ecosystem into their application to support their business model. Data requests can be configured and requested directly from application smart contracts, or they can utilize the smart configuration wizard to request data from off-chain. In either case, the validator network will produce a value verified via the consensus mechanism, and the application contracts need only read it when ready. Modefi specializes in user-made data requests that do not require the use of an API or specific data formatting. All data requests are human-verified via a consensus mechanism that is customizable based on the level of security the creator deems necessary. Users can request any type of data, including strings and numeric types such as integers, decimals, and fractions. A dataset can also be either a single value or list for greatly-improved flexibility, opening up options that do not currently exist in the market, while keeping the process code-free and executed in under 5 minutes. Currently, the Oracle ecosystems across crypto are either a price feed or a Yes-or-No system.

This crypto also uses a new algorithm we call V which takes elements from pre-btc cryptocurrencies and mixes it with ideas from Solana and Avalanche to make a network that can scale to a much larger number of nodes(est. 10k+) than bitcoin style blockchains(every other crypto today).

Lots of people are excluded from education, markets and the system at all. The serendipity of the governments make the conditions, at least, unpredictable so as to think even at a short term. On the other hand, people have smartphones and the will to evolve. We took both facts and developed an opportunity to bring access leveraged on Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies. We built a secure and reliable wallet to encourage saving and investing. We built it open source to be absolutely transparent and traceable. We envision complete access to DeFi and Web3, as we may find a new path to create a lasting social and economic impact within Latam and the rest of the world. It’s not only about what we envision, but it’s about what we have done already. First of all we have gathered a +35 passionate team about changing Latam’s reality in terms of access. Afterwards, we were able to create from scratch a self-custodial, multichain, open-source, mobile wallet that was recognized as a Digital Public Good. ++Link to Open Source Documentation: https://gitlab.com/xcapit-foss ++Repository: https://xcapit-foss.gitlab.io/documentation/docs/project_charter/ (GNU Affero General Public License version 3) ++Link to DPG: https://digitalpublicgoods.net/registry/xcapit.html https://app.digitalpublicgoods.net/a/10130).

Started by moving the boundaries of education, by including gamified education in the wallet journey, also bringing people together and onboard. We impacted more than 200,000 people within more than 80 countries all over the world. We were born multi-chain (Ethereum, Polygon, BNB chain, RSK and Solana) as we want to take advantage of the different benefits of each network, and make them accessible for every human being. Also made DeFi investment products available, so as to give options to the lack of chances to safeguard capital in the middle of unstable countries and economies. All of that, a click away. Added to the gamified financial education module, a financial planner and a donation module to take full control of personal finances, and develop that way, a true culture of savings and wealth planning. We are running the present grant to make come true the massive crypto adoption withing Latam. After listening to Vitalik's ""Ideas for things worth building"" in the EthMexico talk, we started working on Account Abstraction to simplify the wallet experience. Some time later we were invited by Unicef to participate in EthBogota and Devcon, where we worked together with the Ethereum Foundation Next Billion team on our proposal to achieve a smart wallet that abstracts accounts, social recovery, processes multiple transactions without gas costs. We pursue to unlock the impact of Web3 on real problems that people come through on a daily basis. Hope to count with you to make this come true, at once, for real people to fulfill their personal dreams.

Treejer acts as a seamless, transparent bridge empowering local communities through crypto donations even in unbanked and remote areas. Treejer's approach incentivizes not only forest plantation but also conservation by locking up the funds in a smart contract and releasing it over time as planters and other data providers continue providing updates from forest status. The protocol also provides proof-of-impact to donors in the form of dynamic tree NFTs that have real-world attributes. These NFTs are linked to each tree and are minted on Polygon network. Treejer protocol has several smart contracts and two main interfaces: a payment and forest tracking interface offered to donors on ""https://treejer.com"" and a dedicated mobile app for tree planters and rural ambassadors. They use it to submit new trees, provide updates and unlock conservation rewards. Besides using official interfaces, builders can integrate the tree planting plugin with their existing products. 🌳 Product demo (v1): https://youtu.be/ZTcy-6IxT7U ---=== The impact of QF donations ===--- This quadratic round will help us build the next iteration of Treejer protocol (v2.0) and expand the adoption of our current products.

In the Trombetas River basin, in the Para State of Northern Brazil, multispectral drone imagery and machine learning are utilized in tandem to track economically viable, non-timber species of trees (e.g., chestnut, copaiba, and Brazil nuts). In doing so, they seek to empower indigenous communities in the sustainable management, harvesting, and preservation of their natural resources while supplementing traditional modes of income generation in this region and cultivating local prosperity. First, Bioverse captured multispectral, high-resolution satellite imagery for a detailed picture of the forest canopy, and then they took high-resolution canopy images with drones. Lastly, they built a mobile application that provides in-hand Forest Abundance Maps to local communities using the data collected. Throughout this process, they've identified over 19,240 trees and completed machine learning training for brazil nuts and palm trees, with a 97% accuracy on ML models for the detection of Brazil Nut Trees. They work with locals to create an accompanying sustainable agro-forestry management plan and make their technology open source to maximize its potential reach and impact. The project was originally formed in 2017 during a Google- and NASA-sponsored Global Solutions Program at Singularity University. In the coming years, they intend to expand the application of their solutions to sustainable agriculture, invasive species detection and monitoring the environmental health of urban areas.",2022-12-09 04:34:47,UNICEF,0xc03062b43ed99ac4e560c62adf52960a21df6f09b80b82841f35ba0cd7f6cc27,PENDING,2022-12-09 04:34:47,0xdf75054cd67217aee44b4f9e4ebc651c00330938,0.0,1:0x03506eD3f57892C85DB20C36846e9c808aFe9ef4:21,,Bioverse-Labs,BioverseLabs,,,,,,4363.189992631825,5708.0,5870.0 0xc8fca067d1ecb57b625e640263d153190fe1258c34e8a4ae85396fe502fd6164-0xdf75054cd67217aee44b4f9e4ebc651c00330938,,,0x8ddfa84bbf59c0e6dbd05a56e9b9931b64255f08,,,,2022-12-09 01:18:23,UNICEF,0xc8fca067d1ecb57b625e640263d153190fe1258c34e8a4ae85396fe502fd6164,PENDING,2022-12-09 01:18:23,,,,,,,,,,,,3452.604276739305,5359.0,5526.0 0xca6bd6932cecf62469be39a7fe98248b16df5f15c0ae9fd8d38743a5354a97be-0xdf75054cd67217aee44b4f9e4ebc651c00330938,,,0x2df9a188fbe231b0dc36d14aceb65defbb049479,Test,https://Test.co,test test,2022-12-09 00:19:11,UNICEF,0xca6bd6932cecf62469be39a7fe98248b16df5f15c0ae9fd8d38743a5354a97be,PENDING,2022-12-09 00:19:11,0xdf75054cd67217aee44b4f9e4ebc651c00330938,0.0,1:0x03506eD3f57892C85DB20C36846e9c808aFe9ef4:17,jleger,gitcoin,jleger,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0 0xef1b47da2b06d4bc21ed82ebc207e710635a9c881f83a64843fe7f972adbdb0f-0xdf75054cd67217aee44b4f9e4ebc651c00330938,,,0x2906e0181f371b7a4c4bffe13e31b2a917b368e8,AEDES - CirroLytix fighting dengue through big data,https://aedesproject.org,"AEDES aims to improve public health response against dengue by predicting dengue cases from climate and digital data and pinpointing possible hotspots from satellite data.
