Newly Verified Projects

The purpose of this experiment is to document the application of current web3 technologies within traditional real-life communities. The goal is to ease the adoption of self-sovereign, decentralized, and transparent solutions to one of the most wide real-life use cases in LatAm: local community governance. In Mexico, there are 14 million condominiums. With an average of 3.9 inhabitants per household, this means approximately 54.6 million people live in shared properties. These residents pay a monthly maintenance fee, participate in semiannual assemblies to decide on budget expenditures and rely on a board to plan and execute related activities. Condominiums are a perfect fit to experiment DAO and web3 governance tooling IRL. <a href="https://giveth.io/project/urbanika" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Urbánika</a> is already working on making local governance a convivial thing where direct and liquid democracy substitutes the current inefficient representative way. We have a grant page in Giveth who you can check in <a href="https://giveth.io/project/urbanika" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>, however, this grant page was intentionally created in a separate way to have accountability on the funds received for this specific project rather than on the climate positive bus transformation &amp; overall neighborhood governance research. <h2>What are we proposing here:</h2>An NFC system where neighbors get points from participating in their community activities which then translate into voting power and token-gated permissions for collectively deciding how to use a shared budget.<h3> </h3><h3>Tech involved:</h3><ul><li>Citizen wallet</li><li>NFC keychains</li><li>POS system</li><li>Safe (multi-sig)</li><li>Hats protocol</li><li>Snapshot/Pairwise</li><li>Arbitrum One</li></ul> <h2>How it works</h2><ul><li>Neighbors already participating in Urbánika’s governance workshops will get a keychain</li><li>Each&nbsp;keychain will hold two NFTs known as Hats. (Here you can see the Hats protocol tree we created in Arbitrum One: <a href="https://app.hatsprotocol.xyz/trees/42161/39" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://app.hatsprotocol.xyz/trees/42161/39</a>) The first hat will be the large neighborhood area which all neighbors in this experiment share, the second hat will vary from neighbor to neighbor, as it will only represent the condominium they live in.</li><li>Each hat provides access to the following features: i) Write in the neighbourhood’s Charmverse, ii) create proposals for their respective condominium and for the larger neighborhood area, iii) vote accordingly, iv) get points for activities related to the neighbourhood’s governance and overall community life improvement.</li><li>Co-creation process with the neighbours to co-design the scoring system for rewarding neighbour participation.</li><li>Documentation process following constructive research that provides the following artefacts: i) interfaces co-produced with the neighbours to ease their participation within the web3 governance, ii) training material in text and video so to ease the adoption and scaling of the experience within and beyond this local community, iv) admin system so to enable future updates and improvements by the community in a self-sovereign way.</li></ul> <h2>How much do we need?

But if needed, they could be further broken down and delivered in a monthly basis along with reports to the Arbitrum Foundation. <h2>Team and roles:</h2><ul><li>Erik Valle - Main web3 and NFC dev</li><li class="ql-indent-1">tg: @ErikValle</li><li>Mel MC - Software Architect</li><li class="ql-indent-1">tg/x/fc: @troopdegen</li><li>Irwing Durán - Junior web3 dev</li><li class="ql-indent-1">tg: @devidur</li><li>Sofiverse - UI/UX designer</li><li class="ql-indent-1">tg: @sofiverse&nbsp;</li><li>Humberto Besso Oberto H - Gov researcher</li><li class="ql-indent-1">tg: @hbesso31</li></ul>Scope:<ul><li>NFC wallet integration with Citizen Wallet</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Token ds</li><li>Web app for information display and data entry</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Proposals</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Voting</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Receipts/docs upload</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Conflict resolution</li><li>Smart contracts</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Hats Protocol integration</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Neighborhood tokens (ERC20)</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Memberships (ERC721/ERC1155)</li><li>On/off ramp (Bando/Bitso)</li><li>Notifications</li><li class="ql-indent-1">WhatsApp</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Email</li></ul> <h2>On chain &amp; off chain evidence that our work is focused on Arbitrum:</h2>Urbánika is the umbrella org working on deCredit Score project, which has the following evidence links:<ul><li><a href="https://github.com/orgs/Urbanika/projects/2/views/1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GitHub project for planning</a></li><li>Attestations schemas created in EAS Arbitrum One:</li><li><a href="https://arbitrum.easscan.org/schema/view/0x8573b5c964105819c0c283ec74efb1d2c3965e63d6a7b1420afe3aacd7c3e704" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://arbitrum.easscan.org/schema/view/0x8573b5c964105819c0c283ec74efb1d2c3965e63d6a7b1420afe3aacd7c3e704</a></li><li><a href="https://arbitrum.easscan.org/schema/view/0x2b810616c59ed0d1db40766a1959b946d5e98a1481a0f6ea6305bcc7825dddcc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://arbitrum.easscan.org/schema/view/0x2b810616c59ed0d1db40766a1959b946d5e98a1481a0f6ea6305bcc7825dddcc</a></li><li>Hats protocol tree created in Arbitrum One: <a href="https://app.hatsprotocol.xyz/trees/42161/39" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://app.hatsprotocol.xyz/trees/42161/39</a></li><li>Coordinape in Arbitrum One to coordinate team payments: <a href="https://app.coordinape.com/circles/31343/epochs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://app.coordinape.com/circles/31343/epochs</a></li><li>Research from the CoLab Fellowship of RnDAO and Arbitrum DAO:<a href="https://mirror.xyz/hbesso31.eth/QHiGaZ78vX-V1hgx8lVe1kUQLGwdLDjZBdmC2RBkMws" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">research milestone 1</a>, <a href="https://mirror.xyz/hbesso31.eth/WE_5LNACs8eb_H-8SNTfMsGDj5DLZqt3ZRGBQPfBqyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Research milestone 2</a>, <a href="http://mirror.xyz/hbesso31.eth/FPZwO9TMecWReO76YjJx-1p-AAgntdnVxF8Cz8zUp-U" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Final research</a>.</li></ul> Urbánika is also working with <a href="https://giveth.io/es/project/atlantis" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Atlantis</a> on a Learn2Earn campaign with impact certificates and $GLO rewards issued on Arbitrum One.
