We've begun our first public fundraising - and it's on blockchain 🤯 After months of building relationships with Reliabl and exploring what helps people trust a platform, we're excited to start developing ways to invite neighbors into shaping their network's discovery algorithms! Annie Brown's post explains more below. Amazing work. We chose to join the OpenCivics Gitcoin fundraising round, because of OpenCivics' commitment to how we can use transparency, decentralization, and other blockchain tools to apply to day-to-day, offline civics. Their choice of quadratic matching means the number of people who donate to our project matters more than the amount of money each person donates - so power isn't in the hands of a few wealthy donors. In fact, even donating 1 USD (or less) will go a long way for our cause! OpenCivics put together a very easy-to-use guide for the process if you're like us, and using crypto for the first time: https://lnkd.in/ebxjHP6Z We're especially proud to be listed amongst the other inspiring grantees around the world - and encourage you to take a look and consider donating to these amazing initiatives: https://lnkd.in/ePKRQAcx
Common Agency is raising funds via Gitcoin to build out Neighborhood Networks with Reliabl 🙌🏼 - specifically to ensure trust in algorithms directing the discovery process. Studies (both peer-reviewed scientific research and Common Agency's user research) show that users trust a platform more when they feel they have an active role in how its algorithm works. This is the first step to stronger collective sense-making as a neighborhood, with the goal to make: a) logistical information (e.g. 'what kinds of permits do we need to plan a block party?') easier to find and b) recommendations for matchmaking between neighbors - Network Stewards decide which of these recommendations to use as the neighborhood 'party hosts,' introducing people to each other. Common Agency's vision is such a great use case for Reliabl's tech and we would love to see this project realized!

Why can Direct Grants (not just Quadratic Funding grants) be so great for ecosystem growth? And what are the pros and cons of retroactive and proactive Direct Grants? 🤔 Our amazing #GrantsStack Product Lead Meg Lister weighs in 💬 - - - Direct grants are well-defined, project-based funding mechanisms with a focus on specific deliverables and short-term outcomes. They are particularly useful for complex projects with multiple milestones. While they are one of the most popular forms of funding in various ecosystems like ENS, DYDX, and Uniswap, they work best when complemented by retroactive grants. Retroactive grants should not be the primary source of funding as they can discourage visionary ideas and diverse builders who need upfront funding. However, when balanced with proactive grants like direct grants, retroactive grants can foster potential, create networks between projects, and allow more risk-averse organizations to invest in public goods. - - - Looking to run a grants program, whether Direct Grants or Quadratic Funding? 💸 Schedule a demo with our team today: https://lnkd.in/gcz8_cWm

One of the biggest learnings in 2023 for me was that you need to nurture spaces for innovators, changemakers, builders and thinkers. The DAOVOZ crew's ambition is to step up our game and host a 3-week decentralized leadership lab in 2024. Read up on the vision and help us to make it a reality by donating $10-20 on Gitcoin. When donating make sure you have got enough Stamps to be elidigble for matching 😃 https://lnkd.in/e-TCM8BH
Let's bring Vitalik back to Switzerland. In April 2023, through a bit of dumb luck and the support of a dear friend Marko Hrelja, I was one of 200-300 people that were invited to be part of Zuzalu, a pop-up city being run for 3 months in Montenegro. Zuzalu was the brainchild of Vitalik Buterin himself, and because of his ability to attract some of the brightest minds from various fields (Web3, Longevity, ZK tech, and AI) it became something that felt as revolutionarily new and exciting as I suspect the Summer of Love felt in 1967. Since everything was very last minute, I only attended for a couple of weeks, but the experience was literally life-changing. The experience of living in a true community of peers was something incredibly special that is hard to articulate. Now Vitalik has put up $400k (300 ETH) for people who attended Zuzalu to take his vision and riff on it. Via Gitcoin's quadratic rounds, he's matching donations to new pop-up villages and cities around the world that build on the zuzalu vision. Una Wang, Marko Hrelja and the DAOVOZ crew, which includes such wonderful people as Victoria Citterio-Soelle and Daniel Dohne are now bringing Vitalik's vision to Switzerland, planning to host a 3-week decentralised leadership lab called ZuLead for 100-200 residents. Our vision is to bring together leaders from web3 and decentralised organisations, including those in more traditional impact fields, and promote active learning and problem-solving. Ultimately we want to grow the number of leaders with a deep understanding of decentralised leadership, and catalyse long-lasting meaningful relationships. Longer term we're looking forward to InnHub La Punt's completion and the possibility to host future events in their amazing facilities which are currently under construction. How can you help? Our Gitcoin fundraising round is open for 2 more days. If you create a Gitcoin passport, and contribute $10-20 to our event, it will be matched 10-20x by Vitalik. The funds we raise here will go a huge way towards paying deposits on event space and accommodation, and making sure ZuLead 2024 can take place. If we do really well, we're pretty sure we can get Vitalik back to Switzerland, where his Ethereum journey started, and where decentralisation has a very long history of being embraced at all levels of government and society.

The relationship between Web3 infrastructure and application development is similar to the chicken-egg problem, with infrastructure supporting apps but ultimately serving them. The industry lacks an application with product-market fit that drives infrastructure development. Promising entrepreneurs are building products like apps and supporting infrastructure around them, like DEX Infinex and Infinex for decentralized trading. Web3 applications and infrastructure are not expected to parallel Web2 environments, and raising funding for them is challenging. Many builders have already been funded, while apps face challenges in proof of success, usage, valuation, and valuation. #garageid
