Commons Stack

Commons Stack is raising funds to cover the costs of our research around the Quadratic Accelerator, aka q/acc. We hope this research will be able to support the continued improvement of the q/acc program for use in the Giveth ecosystem (for Gurves) and other Commons focused ecosystems in the future. <h1>What is Commons Stack?</h1> We, Commons Stack, started as a think-tank primarily focused on crypto-economic primitives to underpin a design framework for a Commons, a tokenized community with a mission benefitting a public good. We aspired to scale commons as a way to realign incentives with public goods. To achieve this, we needed to elaborate cultural designs that reinforce commoning principles and create novel tools such as the Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC), Conviction Voting and the Praise reward and reputation system.&nbsp; Our Commons design pattern is a curated library of tools and processes for governance, funding, proposal, analytics and initialization of a Commons. Some have come straight out of our research collaborations -&nbsp;such as the ABC, CV and the Praise reward system - while others were chosen from those available in the web3 tooling marketplace. To&nbsp;really understand what we are trying to build, try out the Commons Simulator: <a href="https://sim.commonsstack.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sim.commonsstack.org/</a> We see the work of Elinor Ostrom as our North Star and set out to weave her principles of governing commons into the cultural fabric of a Commons. Our Cultural Build defines practices for clear boundaries, conflict resolution, monitoring, participatory decision-making, as well as others.&nbsp; Among our milestones are supporting BlockScience in open-sourcing cadCAD, developing the edutainment program Commons Simulator, launching the Trusted Seed, developing a collaborative economics method, deploying the Token Engineering Commons (TEC) - the first field test for our Commons design patterns, launching the Commons Prize and starting our commons collaboration with Grassroots Economics, the winner of the prize. While we have already had some success, we have only just begun. Our research continues. The lessons learned from a first field test, the Token Engineering Commons (TEC), are being rolled into new deployment protocols and our curated commons library of tools and processes continues to evolve.&nbsp; We did not get this far alone. We have collaborated with BlockScience, Blossom Labs, Metagov, Curve Labs, PrimeDAO, Giveth, 1Hive, Aragon, Token Engineering Academy, Token Engineering Commons, and many others.

<h1>Grassroots Economics</h1> Who?Grassroots Economics is a non-profit foundation dedicated to empowering marginalized communities by enabling them to create sustainable, self-reliant economies. Through collaboration with local leaders, small businesses, and community members, we facilitate resource coordination and foster economic resilience. <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zNfJWXvezIk?showinfo=0"></iframe></div> What?The project focuses on implementing Commitment Pooling protocols and Community Inclusion Currencies, inspired by traditional practices like Mweria. These systems empower communities to pool resources, share commitments, and exchange goods and services without relying solely on national currency. By utilizing decentralized tools like the Sarafu Network, communities create digital vouchers that represent their commitments and resources, enhancing local trade and mutual support. Grassroots Economics seeks to connect people to their own abundance by supporting them in pooling their commitments or resources together in the form of Community Asset Vouchers - which are blockchain based credit obligations backed by the goods and services of community groups in vulnerable communities in Kenya and growing to other countries. Our vision is of communities creating their own medium of exchange linked to local values and connected to other communities via <a href="https://grassecon.org/commitment-pooling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Commitment Pooling</a> and creating an emergent, healthy polycentric economic system. Our work is also anchored in Syntropic Agroforestry as the basis for local economies and sustainable food production. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmTWsRs9chM5PBG59E2Ukthpi8qJ8c7HL8YJDSRJ5eSBM2"> Why?Grassroots Economics was established to address the challenges faced by communities experiencing economic exclusion and instability. Many people struggle to access basic needs due to reliance on unstable national currencies. By rediscovering ancestral resource coordination practices and integrating them with modern digital tools, Grassroots Economics helps communities unlock their collective potential, reduce poverty, and build resilient, equitable economies. Where?The foundation operates primarily in Kenya, working with rural villages, urban slums, and refugee communities. Its impact has extended to various communities across East Africa and beyond, creating scalable models adaptable to diverse socio-economic and cultural contexts. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmfFE2M9AZjR22k1VdzpLHQj3wokfjmBRwgPgrc4PjzbPv"> We've reached over 300 vouchers world wide and 40 pools connecting them!

The Endangered Tokens (ENTS) Foundation is an ecosystem in which landowners; local NGO’s, investors, artists and local communities actively collaborates with biodiversity preservation through the tokenization &amp; conservation of Endangered Species. &nbsp;Our Mission is to form a decentralized investment community for biodiversity preservation, giving Value and governance to stakeholders through Crypto Assets.&nbsp;&nbsp;As humans we need to revalue biodiversity and living ecosystems through the preservation of Endangered Species, which are invaluable assets to society. This future is possible with the support of decentralized economies driven by self-sustainable and healthy ecosystems in which the community collaborates to generate the appropriate incentives towards creating a better world. &nbsp;The Identified Problem&nbsp;&nbsp;Endangered species are part of complex ecosystems that have become fragile due to human activity, threatening biodiversity. Their preservation is expensive since there are almost no incentives for landowners and authorities to preserve them, and instead have become liabilities (because their maintenance doesn't bring relevant revenue). NGOs often struggle to finance conservation activities.&nbsp; &nbsp;How can we solve it?&nbsp;&nbsp;We want to return the natural value to Endangered Species and biodiversity through the tokenization of living endangered species specimens and generate a global decentralized economic ecosystem of tradable assets and incentives to promote its survival and reproduction through the collaboration and engagement of the community. Thus acquiring value to stakeholders through the natural scarcity of the species, art, tourism, environmental education, local sustainable development, and carbon credits. We are already working with Chilean local communities, NGOs, and Landowners on overcoming the difficulties and gaps in the Queule (Gomortega keule) conservation, an endangered endemic Chilean tree, through the tokenization of Queule specimens, community engagement, local innovation and Conservation Programs. &nbsp;In order to scale this project globally awe are recurring to giveth.io for people that are willing to help us save endangered species and form an economic ecosystem around it.&nbsp;We are looking to grow our community so please do not hesitate to join our new Discord Server <a href="https://discord.gg/XMQfEECvxM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/XMQfEECvxM</a>

We're on a mission to create technologies and opportunities that enable communities to build, fund and protect what matters. Now, as a technology organization, Gitcoin is bringing capital allocation strategies to web3 in permissionless ways. As leaders in the Grants allocation space, we will move more money into the hands of the builders, dreamers, and the web3 community at large. With Grants Stack, you can configure direct grants programs, quadratic funding rounds and even retro active funding rounds. Grants Stack is built on Allo, Gitcoin's allocation protocol. Allo is the first protocol to combine three core components: A universal project registry, with diverse funding strategies (how the capital is allocated), with robust payout strategies (ensure accountability with the capital that is being allocation). Combined, Allo makes it easy to run a grants program, learn more about projects or fund what matters. The Gitcoin Grants Program is a quarterly initiative run by Gitcoin that empowers everyday believers in web3 to drive funding toward what they believe matters, with the impact of individual donations being magnified by the use of the Quadratic Funding (QF) distribution mechanism. The objective of this grant is to help us grow &amp; sustain the builders who are pioneering in the capital allocation space and supporting public goods globally.

<a href="https://evmcrispr.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">EVMcrispr</a> is a tool that simplifies interacting with smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains. It allows users to send transactions using intuitive, UNIX-like commands, making it easier to write complete scripts that encode complex transactions. This comprehensive tool can be used to improve almost all day-to-day blockchain operations, such as:<ul><li>Creating more efficient Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) votes.</li><li>Launching DAOs and managing their configuration.</li><li>Performing DeFi strategies.</li><li>Running simulations on drafted on-chain actions.</li><li>Creating, sending and managing tokens.</li></ul> EVMcrispr effectively reduces the technical hurdles for web3 users to engage and carry out complex tasks using smart contracts. For instance, our domain-specific language is handy for expressing and transforming transaction data. In addition, we can combine different commands, so we can insert the command for managing Superfluid flows within the command to make an Aragon DAO vote or the command of sending a Giveth donation within the command to bridge tokens to the Gnosis Chain. It feels like modifying DNA when changing many parameters of a DAO all at once or when performing complex deployments that we must do in one transaction. EVMcrispr is the smart-contract gene-editing tool that has reduced the cost of operating DAOs and other blockchain protocols by orders of magnitude. It has been used by organizations such as <a href="https://curve.fi/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Curve</a>, <a href="https://aragon.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aragon</a>, <a href="https://nftx.io" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NFTX</a>, <a href="https://1hive.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1Hive</a>, <a href="https://giveth.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Giveth</a>, <a href="https://tecommons.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TECommons</a>, <a href="http://brightid.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BrightId</a> and <a href="https://agave.finance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Agave</a> to conduct complex votes within their DAOs. The tool has a terminal-like interface but <a href="https://docs.evmcrispr.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">clear documentation</a> with many examples, making it easy to start. By supporting the ongoing development and maintenance of EVMcrispr, Giveth donors can help to advance cutting edge blockchain technology and to enable the creation of more powerful and practical applications on EVM-based networks, such as Ethereum Mainnet and Gnosis Chain.

While success could be as minimal as being net positive $1 in favor of Public Goods versus what it cost to launch, we’re setting our sights much higher. We’re setting out to gamify the funding of Public Goods using the proven flywheel mechanism of Nouns, and then iterate beyond on creative ways to continue funding Public Goods.

Say goodbye to endless forum scrolling and hello to easy, efficient and fun community signaling with Pairwise! Our open-source, snapshot-style voting dapp, based on the <a href="https://blog.colony.io/introducing-budgetbox/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">big brain algorithm research out of Colony in 2018</a>, offers a fast-paced and intuitive experience, perfect for the next generation of DAOs. Join us in revolutionizing governance with the power of algorithms and give your community a fun way to engage in governance, as opposed to boring old voting.Why? Current voting mechanisms provide poor user experience and require a high cognitive overhead leading to intense voter apathy.&nbsp;As an ecosystem, we expect community members to spend a lot of time reading forum posts and have designed our tooling around this expectation. This will not scale.&nbsp;Where? Pairwise will be a public good for the Web3 ecosystem. It will be implemented as a DApp with its own frontend and backend, and can be used in various contexts, such as community governance or project funding, with custom frontends. Pairwise voting will be compatible with all Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains and the development will be fully open source, and will also include documentation for developers who want to use the system in their own projects.How? Our project is structured into five main milestones, each focusing on a specific aspect of the ecosystem. These range from initial platform development and integration to creating a mechanism for incentivizing voting and enhancing voting interfaces.When? Our first milestone is targeted at 2.5 months post-initiation, contingent on securing our initial 40k funding mark.

The <a href="https://wayback-machine.eth.limo/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ENS Wayback Machine</a> is a Web3 version of&nbsp;<a href="https://web.archive.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine</a>, allowing users to&nbsp;view historical versions of IPFS content associated with ENS domains. Users can search for specific ENS domains or URLs and view archived versions of those sites as they appeared on different dates in the past. This can be useful for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in tracking changes to websites over time or retrieving lost content.&nbsp; <a href="https://wayback-machine.eth.limo/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/iDOAhbo.png"></a> Unlike the Wayback Machine maintained by the Internet Archive, the ENS Wayback Machine does not crawl the web or store archived web pages. Instead, it relies on the fact that the&nbsp;IPFS links are stored in the blockchain&nbsp;and can be accessed to view the content associated with a particular domain. This means that the service is only useful for ENS domains that have associated IPFS content. For example, you can use the ENS Wayback Machine to&nbsp;view the changes made to Vitalik’s website over the years. Just visit the ENS Wayback Machine website and navigate to&nbsp;<a href="https://wayback-machine.eth.limo/#/vitalik.eth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vitalik.eth</a>&nbsp;to see the different versions of the site through the top bar. You can also search for any other ENS domain in the&nbsp;<a href="https://wayback-machine.eth.limo/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">search box</a>&nbsp;provided. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmeMF5PWQmGGrZETUh37TVnsEPEcDigu8UWPw5fmRscwYL"> Our team is steadfast in enhancing the functionality and user-friendliness of the ENS Wayback Machine. Our next step?&nbsp;Incorporating significant milestones into the timeline, such as the domain’s initial registration, renewals, and transfers.&nbsp;As we refine the design and evolve our service, we deeply value your insights. So, drop us a line, share your experiences, and join us in shaping the future of the ENS Wayback Machine. This is as a Blossom Labs project.

ETH LIMO

ETH.LIMO is a privacy-preserving ENS gateway, enabling users to access Ethereum-native dApps and content. LIMO represents a shift in dweb adoption by providing an alternative means of accessing ENS resolvable domains. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmdzdM4mjbrGWFajUdSm8koABxzo8RAdgUSQQaqZMuyLvf">☑️ eth.limo supports every ENS compatible storage layer! Users can utilize IPFS, Arweave and Swarm contenthashes. ☑️ CCIP-Read for L2 and off-chain lookups are also supported! ☑️Emoji and unicode domains supported! <a href="https://xn--g28haa.eth.limo/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">😂😂😂.eth.limo</a> ☑️ Limo now supports on-demand @ensdomains subdomain certificates!What does this mean? You can now automatically issue a certificate for ENS subdomains without requesting one from us!How does this work? Once you submit an HTTP request for your name (i.e. app.myname.eth. limo), we'll attempt to issue the certificate in the background. Usually this process takes 1-2m and during that time you might need to keep refreshing the page in your browser. Once the certificate has been issued you'll be able to visit your subdomain on eth.limo. ☑️DNS over HTTPS (DoH) Resolver DNS over HTTPS (DoH) resolver. We now offer an easy to use DNS resolver for ENS domains. The DoH resolver can be integrated with applications for native ENS resolution, or even your browser! We feature both JSON and DNS wire format responses with DNSLink support. This means you can configure your local IPFS client to resolve ENS domains directly from us with the following command:ipfs config --json DNS.Resolvers '{"eth.": "<a href="https://dns.eth.limo/dns-query%22%7D'" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dns.eth.limo/dns-query"}'</a>For example if you then requested vitalik.eth, a DNS query would be constructed (<a href="https://dns.eth.limo/dns-query?name=vitalik.eth&amp;type=TXT" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dns.eth.limo/dns-query?name=vitalik.eth&amp;type=TXT</a>) which would return:<blockquote>dnslink=/ipfs/QmQhCuJqSk9fF58wU58oiaJ1qbZwQ1eQ8mVzNWe7tgLNiD/</blockquote>Which would instruct your IPFS client to retrieve the CID above. Consult our documentation for implementation details.<a href="https://github.com/ethlimo/documentation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Documentation</a> ☑️ Chauffeur - Run a local infrastructure stack for resolving ENS domains. <a href="https://github.com/ethlimo/chauffeur" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/ethlimo/chauffeur</a> ☑️HTTP Object Caching - Improving content retrieval times is always a priority for the eth.limo team. After several weeks of careful testing we have fully implemented static content object caching, globally for all eth.limo resolved names. This means that we will cache content retrieved from IPFS and save it for later retrieval. The result being much faster page load times for all static content. 🟢Base32 and Base36 Encoding for IPFS/IPNS - We have updated both the eth.limo gateway and our DNS over HTTPS service to explicitly use Base32 encoding for IPFS CIDs and Base36 for IPNS peer IDs. ☑️LIMO takes public gateway services a step further by enforcing strong privacy guarantees such as never logging IP addresses or engaging in TCP fingerprinting. Limo now actively blocks FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts). This is a Google developed algorithm that tracks and correlates users based on their browsing history. FLoC enables advanced fingerprinting capabilities and greatly undermines online privacy and anonymity.

<blockquote>The Hypercerts Foundation pioneers open-source protocols to transparently fund and reward positive impact. Hypercerts are a general purpose tool that track impactful work, assess its value, and enable the sale of its impact.</blockquote> <h2>📣 Update 1: App Launch 🎉</h2>We’re excited to announce the launch of our new dApp! Explore it now at&nbsp;<a href="https://hypercerts.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hypercerts.org</a>&nbsp;and see what we’ve built.<h2>📣 Update 2: Ecocerts 🍃</h2>We're embarking on a collaborative journey to introduce hypercerts for ecological impact: Ecocerts 🍃Through extensive conversations with partners like Ma Earth and GainForest, we’ve laid the foundation for this initiative. Together, we’ll define templates for Ecocerts, establish evaluation methods, and explore innovative ways to finance projects that steward our planet.This is an open initiative without organizational boundaries—if you’re interested in using Ecocerts, we’d love to hear from you!<h2>1️⃣ Introduction:&nbsp;Where are we headed</h2>Imagine a world where positive impact was one of the most highly valued creations in our society; where entrepreneurs who pursued high-uncertainty, high-upside moonshots to radically improve society were rewarded directly for that impact; where becoming a patron of impactful causes was something people aspired to and displayed proudly; and where the methods used to evaluate impact were credible, transparent, and independently verifiable.&nbsp;That world might seem a distance away, but it’s one we can build towards. Specifically we’d like to see more impact markets, retroactive funding and innovation in the way we fund public goods. In order for this to occur, we need protocols to track and fund impact.<h2>2️⃣&nbsp;Hypercerts Represent the Impact of Work</h2>Every hypercert accounts for a discrete piece of work and represents the impact resulting from that work. Projects create hypercerts for their work. Evaluators assess the outputs, outcomes and impact of projects' work. Funders buy hypercert fractions and receive the rights to claim the represented impact.Example: A hypercert for IPFS<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmVHrZ1Xy5Z412L1GGAtRSot2UwTBryNdxf4Tdo8BQgQdf"><h2>3️⃣ Why we are building hypercerts</h2><ul><li>﻿Avoiding silos – interconnected funding system: As an extension of ERC 1155 semi-fungible tokens, hypercerts create a single, open, shared, and decentralized database for funding mechanisms. This database avoids the creation of new funding silos, as hypercerts can be integrated into any existing funding platform, thereby creating an interconnected funding ecosystem.</li><li>Selling impact – moving beyond donation: While hypercerts may be useful for any funding mechanism, they’re particularly valuable for retroactive funding as they provide baseline invariant guarantees that impact claims will not be forgotten. Projects create and sell impact, building financially sustainable and scalable revenue models. With hypercerts, we move beyond donations.</li><li>Certifying impact – open evaluation system: Certifying impact is a process, and it should be an open and dynamic one. Hence, with hypercerts we create the foundation for an open evaluation system for credible and transparent impact assessment. Every hypercert can receive multiple evaluations from different evaluators using a variety of methodologies. This creates incentives to innovate evaluation methodologies and builds trust.</li></ul><h2>4️⃣&nbsp;Where do we go from here</h2>We are entering a world with multiple hypercerts platforms. Pioneers like VoiceDeck and GainForest, developing ecocertain.xyz, are leading the way by building on the hypercerts protocol. Our primary goal for the next phase of hypercerts is to empower and support platforms like these.<h2>5️⃣ Testimonials</h2>Juan Benet (Founder and CEO of Protocol Labs):<blockquote>We are proud to be an early supporter of the Hypercerts Foundation, which will bring even greater focus and resources to this important area of innovation. The Hypercerts Foundation is helping build a more transparent and interoperable environment for funding public goods. We are excited to contribute to its mission in any way we can.</blockquote> Kevin Owocki (Founder of Gitcoin):<blockquote>This is an exciting moment for the Hypercerts Foundation and for the future of impact funding. We are committed to advancing the development of decentralized protocols and novel coordination mechanisms.</blockquote>

Hey all, we're building free and open source tools to help you stay safe in web3! 👋 To use tokens in decentralised applications such as Uniswap you have to grant the application permission to spend tokens on your behalf - known as a token approval. Token approvals 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 granting token approvals you are potentially exposing your wallet to these exploits. To keep yourself safe from exploits it is a good practice to regularly inspect and revoke your approvals. Revoke.cash comes in as a preventative tool to manage your token approvals and practice proper wallet hygiene. By regularly revoking active approvals you reduce the chances of becoming the victim of exploits. In many cases, phishing websites try to make you sign an approval 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. This is where the Revoke.cash Browser Extension comes in. The extension pops up whenever you are about to sign an approval and will inform you of the approval's details. This can help you prevent signing malicious approvals.

Vocdoni Association

TL;DR: Vocdoni leads the way in opensource decentralized voting technology, with hundreds of thousands of votes processed for +300 organizations, including City councils, Political parties, Cooperatives, Football clubs, Associations, opposition groups under repressive regimes and more! We accomplished this using a custom L1 blockchain designed specifically for voting. Now, we are building DAVINCI, a new public good voting protocol that ensures anonymous, anticoercion, verifiable, and accessible elections using zkSNARKs and Homomorphic Encryption. DAVINCI is the first solution that meets all the criteria for a universal voting protocol, covering a wide range of use cases: from gasless and anonymous offchain voting for DAOs, with the same guarantees as onchain voting, to national-level official elections. <h2>Introducing DAVINCI: The future of voting on Ethereum</h2>Modern voting systems (whether paper-based, centralized digital voting, or onchain) suffer from significant flaws, including high costs, limited accessibility, and vulnerabilities to manipulation, bias, and vote buying. Achieving the highest standards of election security and fairness remains costly and complex, leaving billions without a secure digital participation option. Recurrent, low-cost voting is crucial for democratic resilience, but the existing systems lack the necessary technological infrastructure to support it. <h3>What is DAVINCI?</h3>DAVINCI (Decentralized Autonomous Voting Infrastructure for Non-Coercive Inclusion) is a new neutral and unstoppable voting protocol designed for privacy, scalability, and security. It enables high-frequency, low-cost elections while ensuring transparency, censorship resistance, anti-coercion, and integrity. Built as a Layer 2 solution on Ethereum, DAVINCI ensures votes remain tamper-proof and trustless, eliminating central points of failure. <h3>How DAVINCI Works</h3>DAVINCI leverages zkSNARKs and threshold homomorphic encryption (ElGamal) to provide end-to-end verifiability, anticoercion and anonymity, allowing voters to participate without compromising privacy. A distributed key generation (DKG) system, coordinated via smart contracts, secures encryption key creation while preventing manipulation.

VOCDONI - A public good for secure decentralized voting

Kiwi is a space for people who care about Ethereum, beyond its price. It’s a place where everyone can follow the most important ETH ideas and projects without Twitter noise. They can also connect with other Ethereum power users through deep, nuanced discussions. <h2><img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmTt57CK7FHxHQsk7T9qevzdh7FUtxHaKMJdND8HdKXe8W"></h2>Kiwi app We've been building Kiwi since 2023 because we believe that Ethereum should have a decentralized 'online magazine', where you can become smarter every time you read it. That's why every month our community of 100+ Ethereum power users goes through hundreds of tweets, blogposts, dashboards, newsletters and products, to surface the ones that stand out. Everyone can join them and start sharing, upvoting, and discussing the links with our community. Everyone can also just read Kiwi and join our 2,000+ monthly readers. We care about building IRL connections between our curators and users so we have been organizing meetups during main ETH conferences in Berlin, Paris, Warsaw, Bangkok &amp; Istanbul. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmXrnL8CfBR6bXmSeTPgSD3N7yoaKJQL8X19LZ86zBAw5k">Kiwi meetup at Devconnect Istanbul Since we care about Ethereum, we also organize writing contests that touch on important ETH ideas. Like the one we did <a href="https://paragraph.xyz/@kiwi-updates/pluralistic-future-of-l2s-results" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">about L2s with Lens</a>, where we ended up receiving 20+ submissions, including ones from people such as Marek (Co-Founder @ Celo), Simon de la Rouviere (Co-inventor of ERC20), and Jason Chaskin (Researcher @ Ethereum Foundation). And one of the contest prompts came from Vitalik: <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmRF2XTm3oLzCrzokshYWyUyPEytgbuWmjkCd2gn8gUJMR"> We also care deeply about decentralization. That's why all Kiwi content - 13,000+ links and 4,000+ comments - is stored on a P2P network. This means that everyone can build their own client, like on Farcaster or Lens. There's been already alt client like <a href="https://kiwinews.lol/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">kiwinews.lol</a> and search engines like <a href="https://knsearch.x4901.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">KNSearch</a>. Also, everything on Kiwi is open source: our front-end, back-end and protocol code. So the fruits of our R&amp;D work on key delegation, onchain ads, and implementing passkeys is publicly available for other projects to use. Since we wanted to stay independent, we refused to take VC money, and since the beginning we have been living off grants, a bit of revenue, and our savings. So far we received grants from Optimism Retro Funding, Octant, Gitcoin OSS rounds, Farcaster, Purple, and a few more. So if you care about changing the way people think about Ethereum and helping builders get the best ideas, please consider supporting Kiwi. You can check our app on <a href="https://news.kiwistand.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">news.kiwistand.com</a> You can also read more about us here: <a href="https://kiwistand.github.io/kiwi-docs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">kiwistand.github.io/kiwi-docs</a> Or go through our GitHub repo: <a href="https://github.com/attestate/kiwistand" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">github.com/attestate/kiwistand</a> *** Kiwi is built by <a href="https://twitter.com/timdaub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tim Daub</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/MacBudkowski" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mac Budkowski</a>, and developed together with <a href="https://news.kiwistand.com/community" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kiwi community</a>.

<h1>Open-source block explorers are a vital public good</h1>Just like we need multiple clients for Ethereum, we need multiple explorers and tooling diversity for the Ethereum ecosystem. If one goes down, the others are there to step in and support. This redundancy is vital, but it is not Blockscout's mission.&nbsp;Our mission is to provide a first-class, open-source, decentralized explorer for all users.&nbsp;An explorer built by and for the community that can provide everything users, developers, and projects need to successfully explore and develop on a chain. Every chain needs an explorer, and Blockscout is the easiest and most versatile explorer available today. Chains can easily setup the OSS version themselves, setup via a RaaS provider, or host directly with Blockscout EaaS. A growing list of chains using Blockscout are available here: <a href="https://eaas.blockscout.com/chains-and-projects" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://eaas.blockscout.com/chains-and-projects</a> <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmXhWLzSx4awoNX1wcqocK9fLyfqHjjponaGCqedGuYV5U"> Over the past year we've been working hard to improve the Blockscout experience for developers and users. Thanks to community contributions, we've had the ability to optimize Blockscout for speed while overhauling the frontend for ease of use. We've introduced tools to make smart contract verification much easier, and added tagging, account functionality, marketplace features and more. With your help, we will continue adding tools and features to support Ethereum and the network of L2s and L3s building on top. <h1>Open-source explorers support the entire ecosystem</h1>Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains and Layer 2 solutions, including zk rollups and optimistic rollups, require open-source explorers and tools to provide:<ol><li>Free access to data.</li><li>Checks for data accuracy.</li><li>Redundancy and resilience.</li><li>Community-driven features, customizations, and innovations.</li><li>Transparency.</li><li>Quick and cost-effective implementation, particularly for testnets.</li><li>Support for small and niche chains.</li><li>Consistent multi-chain experience.</li><li>Ongoing, rapid feature development.</li><li>Trustlessness and auditability.</li></ol> <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmTjZKX3ppvpuKYwjFwkYKU4x9TzR47EqZpEjqGXGfC1zd"> As we continue to decentralize the future, the tools and infrastructure supporting decentralization must also follow this pattern.

Evmtools is a web3 toolkit that currently offers a comprehensive suite of 18+ tools designed to ease the development of web3 apps on EVM chains. Tools like EIP-712 and ERC-191 that standardize the handling and signing of structured data, bit manipulation and transaction decoders to help in debugging. Developers can leverage the zk-boilerplate for building privacy-focused dapps. There are many such utilities that further support the developers by offering versatile, user-friendly tools for a variety of smart contract development tasks. Collectively, these tools enable developers to build, test, and debug web3 apps with greater ease and efficiency. We have been building for ~2+ years, we started our project as a boilerplate for zkdapps using circom, snarkjs, etc. Since then it has evolved to include more features in respect to the broader evm ecosystem. Our goal is to improve the understanding of evm and make development in web3 easier and secure.

<h2>Who we are</h2>We are Namespace, one of the ENS Service Providers. We help ENS scale and grow by building a user-friendly platform for subname issuance and management and developer tools for easy ENS integration into web3 dapps. <h2>What we do</h2>Everything we build is an open-source public good published under the MIT license that anyone can use as a building block for their dapp and customize it to any extent they need. For non-tech end-users, we are building a user-friendly platform that allows anyone to easily set up customized minting for subnames on Ethereum and other L2 chains. The platform is very user-centric and built with a user experience in mind to make the process as simple and as intuitive as possible. For developers, we are building dev tools (API+SDK) that allow them to easily integrate ENS into their dapps with all its core and extended functionality - resolution, record management, name and subname registration (including minting and storing subnames on other L2s). <h2>Why we do it</h2>We believe that 0x addresses are simply not good enough for mass crypto adoption. Sooner or later they'll be replaced with human-readable names. We are committed to making that transition happen. Additionally, having a human-readable ENS name or a subname fixes some address-related scams such as address poisoning, address spoofing/mimicking, clipboard hijacking, impersonation, etc. <h2>Next Steps</h2>L2s! So far we've built the infrastructure that supports minting, storing, and managing subnames on the Optimism and Base chain. Next, we want to build the same support for Arbitrum and other L2s, making ENS scale horizontally and allowing all L2 chain ecosystem projects native ENS integration for their dapps. <h2>ARB Infra + Dev tools</h2>Our primary goal is to extend ENS capabilities to the Arbitrum chain by developing the necessary infrastructure for minting subnames and managing their records. To simplify and enhance ENS adoption within the Arbitrum ecosystem, we are also creating an SDK. This SDK will enable seamless integration of ENS for all Arbitrum ecosystem apps and projects, facilitating the minting and storage of ENS subnames and records on the Arbitrum chain. Additionally, our web app (<a href="https://app.namespace.tech" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://app.namespace.tech</a>) will incorporate the Arbitrum infrastructure, ensuring that even non-technical users can easily mint subnames on Arbitrum. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmZkY1afGqiVZZ36HYeQERVvE7JxkPtZyf8nFsCXypD77S" style="" width="564">

Our framework leverages "metavaluation", a novel mechanism designed from first principles to overcome collective action problems and motivate positive-sum voluntary cooperation. Metavaluation is:<ul><li>simple and accessible, leveraging pairwise comparisons for evaluations</li><li>inclusive to all contributions, including evaluations and system upgrades</li><li>automated via open source algorithms, for trust and continuous improvement</li><li>interoperable across communities and other mechanisms</li><li>a minimal framework adaptable to diverse community needs</li></ul> We've prototyped in diverse contexts (e.g., festivals, conferences, decentralized projects) and are now building an <a href="https://github.com/openheartmind/WISDOM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MVP</a> to scale. Guided by open science principles (e.g., transparency, sharing, inclusivity, fairness, reproducibility), we aim to recognise all contributions to the OHM project and community -- including donations -- via the same metavaluation framework we are creating (yes, we practice what we preach!).

Like L2Beat, we use a stage (0-1-2) system to categorize projects based on their level of decentralization and the inherent risks associated with centralization.Our goal is to cover 90% all the TVL of EVM chains this year and your funding will greatly contribute to this mission!<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmVY21jQVMFjeBKnsiVC59KoZSThHXrnrGbJCNNn8k4K1W">Website:&nbsp;<a href="deficollective.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">deficollective.org</a>&nbsp;- The DeFi CollectivePublic Good Dashboard &amp; Framework: <a href="defiscan.info " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">defiscan.info </a>-&nbsp;DeFiScan.Public Repository: MIT Licence -&nbsp;GitHub - <a href="https://github.com/deficollective/defiscan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/deficollective/defiscan</a><h5> </h5><h5> </h5>Team InformationOur team consists of 9 crypto natives and experienced professionals in blockchain technology, DeFi, software development, law and regulation, policy, and community engagement.Board members include:<a href="https://twitter.com/TokenBrice" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TokenBrice</a>: A key figure in the DeFi community and an integral part of The DeFi Collective.<a href="https://x.com/nilsbundi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nils</a>: DeFi protocol architect and developer at The DeFi Collective.<a href="https://x.com/floowp_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Florian</a>: Attorney at law with a focus on regulation and compliance.Besides our board members, The DeFi Collective is supported by a group of dedicated contributors who play a vital role in various aspects of our operations, from technical development to community engagement. Sustainability Plan Operational expenses are covered by the treasury funded through previous donations and continuous on-chain rewards generated by the Collective. The Collective aims to fully self-sustain all operational expenses, meaning the Giveth donations are used exclusively to raise awareness, enhance the UX and API of DeFiScan API, and fund community reviews, rather than for administrative or operational costs. You can check The DeFi Collective treasury is already generating rewards to support our missions through our first yearly financial&nbsp;<a href="https://deficollective.org/blog/yearly-financial-report-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">report</a>&nbsp;showcasing the financial details of our operations.We also plan to establish strategic partnerships with educational institutions, incentive/grant programs, key blockchain foundations, and other actors (for-profits and non-profits) focused on DeFi to secure future funding opportunities. Notable recent achievement:-Reviewed 14 protocols since November (which notably led to Uniswap v3 verifying their contracts on Arbitrum and Base) and currently finishing the reviews of other protocols (Aave, Compound, Cat-in-a-box, Ethena, RocketPool and Morpho).-Recruiting two full time smartcontracts reviewers.-Hosting and participating in major Ethereum-centric events (ETHZurich, ETHBelgrade, ETHSofia, ETHBucharest, ETHDam, ETHPrague, ProtocolBerg, DappCon, ETHCC, &amp; Devcon).

<h3>Karma GAP: The Standard for Grant Accountability and Impact Measurement</h3> Karma GAP is a grant accountability and impact measurement platform that helps funders track project progress, verify milestones, and make data-driven funding decisions. Grantees use GAP to showcase their work, secure endorsements, and build an onchain reputation. By standardizing accountability and reputation in web3 funding, Karma GAP ensures that capital is allocated efficiently, supporting high-quality projects with verifiable impact. <h4>Problem</h4>The web3 funding ecosystem lacks a reliable, transparent, and scalable way to measure the impact of grants. Funders struggle to track project progress and verify outcomes, leading to inefficient capital allocation, misaligned incentives, and wasted resources. Builders face difficulties in showcasing their work, securing follow-on funding, and building a long-term reputation. The absence of a standardized evaluation framework means that high-quality projects often go unnoticed, while funders make decisions based on incomplete or unverifiable data. <h4>Solution</h4>Karma GAP is a grant accountability and impact measurement platform that enables funders, grantees, and evaluators to track project progress, verify milestones, and build reputation—all onchain.<ul><li>For Funders: Provides real-time dashboards, project updates, and impact attestations to make data-driven funding decisions.</li><li>For Grantees: Offers a structured way to report progress, receive endorsements, and establish a verifiable onchain reputation for future funding opportunities.</li><li>For the Ecosystem: Enables interoperability between funding programs, creating a shared infrastructure for reputation, impact tracking, and decision-making.</li></ul>Key Features:<ul><li>Milestone Tracking: Structured reporting with clear deliverables and deadlines.</li><li>Impact Attestations: Verifiable claims on project outcomes recorded onchain.</li><li>Reputation System: Public, portable records of grantees and evaluators to improve funding efficiency.</li><li>Karma Beacon - Automated Insights &amp; Summarization: AI-powered reporting for funders to quickly assess project progress.</li></ul> <h4>Mission</h4>Karma GAP aims to create a transparent, trustless, and reputation-driven funding ecosystem where high-quality projects receive the support they deserve. By setting the standard for accountability and impact measurement, we empower communities, funders, and builders to maximize the effectiveness of grant capital, fostering long-term sustainability and innovation in web3.

Open Source Public Goods&nbsp;are the most scalable way to empower people. Code is infinitely shareable, composable like digital LEGO bricks, and free for anyone to use. By donating to this Cause, you fund maintainers and builders who create the foundational tools that thousands of other projects rely on—multiplying your impact across the world. <h2>Why this Cause</h2>Open source software is an&nbsp;optimal public good: it’s non‑rivalrous (my using it doesn’t reduce your ability to use it) and largely non‑excludable (anyone can access it). A single improvement—one bug fix, one library, one translation—can be reused by millions at&nbsp;near‑zero marginal cost. That leverage is unmatched.Yet the open source commons is chronically underfunded. Critical libraries, privacy tools, accessibility tech, and civic software often depend on volunteers. This creates fragility (burnout, security risk, abandoned features) and slows the pace at which society can benefit from shared infrastructure.This Cause directs funding to fix that.&nbsp;Your donation supports the builders who keep essential open source tools secure, usable, and alive—so that individuals, communities, startups, nonprofits, and governments can assemble these “building blocks” into new, beneficial technology for everyone. <h2>What your donation makes possible</h2><ul><li>Massive leverage &amp; composability:&nbsp;Fund one project; unlock value for thousands more downstream that depend on it.</li><li>Access &amp; equity:&nbsp;High‑quality tools, education, and privacy‑respecting tech available to anyone, anywhere, regardless of income.</li><li>Security &amp; resilience:&nbsp;Better maintenance, documentation, and audits reduce supply‑chain risk for the entire ecosystem.</li><li>Innovation pace:&nbsp;Well‑maintained blocks speed up R&amp;D, prototyping, and entrepreneurship globally.</li><li>Transparency &amp; trust:&nbsp;Open code is inspectable, forkable, and community‑governed—reducing lock‑in and aligning incentives with users.</li></ul> <h2>How allocations work</h2>This Cause uses an&nbsp;AI‑assisted, human‑curated&nbsp;process. The AI donation agent scores eligible projects using the rubric below.&nbsp; Allocation rubric (guideposts, not hard rules):<ul><li>Open‑Source Integrity (30%)&nbsp;– OSI‑approved license, active public repo, clear contribution guidelines, permissive reuse.</li><li>Public Benefit &amp; Free Access (25%)&nbsp;– Provides unique and useful benefits at no cost to users; optional, ethical monetization is acceptable (e.g., unobtrusive ads, paid hosting, opt‑out donations, or premium extras).</li><li>Adoption &amp; Leverage (20%)&nbsp;– Evidence of use: downloads, stars/forks, dependents, community activity, references in other projects, or real‑world case studies.</li><li>Stewardship &amp; Health (10%)&nbsp;– Maintainer responsiveness, issue hygiene, docs quality, onboarding, code of conduct.</li><li>Impact on Critical Needs (10%)&nbsp;– Security, privacy, accessibility, education, climate, public data, civic tech, or other widely beneficial domains.</li><li>Risk &amp; Safety (5%)&nbsp;– Minimizes harm, respects privacy, and avoids abusive or exploitative use‑cases.</li></ul> <h2>Eligibility: what qualifies for funding</h2>Projects must be&nbsp;open source&nbsp;and&nbsp;offer meaningful benefits for free. Creative monetization is welcome if the free tier is genuinely useful. Minimum criteria<ul><li>OSI‑approved license and public repo (e.g., GitHub/GitLab).</li><li>Delivers&nbsp;clear, free user value&nbsp;(not just a code dump).</li><li>Transparent roadmap and changelog; active in the last 6–12 months (or a strong case for foundational stability).</li><li>Basic governance signals: README, contribution guidelines, issue tracker, and a user‑friendly license file.</li><li>Commitment to privacy, accessibility, and safety.</li></ul> In scope (examples)<ul><li>Developer tooling &amp; frameworks; security, testing, and CI/CD utilities.</li><li>Privacy tools (encryption, key management, consent tech), secure comms.</li><li>Accessibility libraries, screen‑reader support, localization and translation.</li><li>Education &amp; learning resources (curricula, interactive labs, open courseware).</li><li>Open data platforms, civic tech, climate/health/public-interest tooling.</li><li>Infrastructure &amp; protocols (storage, networking, identity), open research artifacts.</li><li>Lightweight apps that provide real utility for free (with optional paid extras).</li></ul> Out of scope<ul><li>Closed‑source or source‑available without a true OSI license.</li><li>Projects whose free tier is a teaser rather than a usable product.</li><li>Predominantly speculative token schemes without demonstrated public utility.</li><li>Tech that facilitates harm, surveillance abuse, or clear privacy violations.</li></ul><h2> </h2><h2>Our commitments</h2><ul><li>Transparency:&nbsp;Rubric and allocations are published.</li><li>Accountability:&nbsp;We favor projects that communicate releases, roadmaps, and impact notes.</li><li>Inclusivity:&nbsp;We actively seek builders from underrepresented regions and communities.</li><li>Adaptability:&nbsp;We will iterate the rubric as we learn, guided by data and community feedback.</li></ul> <h2>Call to action</h2>If you believe technology should lift everyone, not just a few, this is one of the highest‑leverage places to give.&nbsp;Donate to the Open Source Public Goods Cause&nbsp;and help turn small grants into global infrastructure—code that anyone can use, build on, and benefit from.
