It makes sense to test separately different parts of the proposed idea.

One of the biggest centralized bottlenecks is projects acceptance.

Following the definition "Math is a social activity done by mathematicians" we could do similar with DeSci:

1. Create a ledger of credible DeSci projects (in a sense it's already done)
2. To be accepted to the round the projects should vote for other projects on the round (voting is a obligation to be accepted to the round) - does it makes sense?
3. Of enough voted for - the project is accepted to the round
4. It would be nice to also add a mechanism when accepted projects do not have to be reevaluated


Let's discuss the idea!!!

DevCon is looking for speakers!

Applications starts on July 9th, ends on July 30th

Suggested topics to cover could be found here

I'm thinking of applying with a talk about DeSci/DeSpace, not sure yet

PS In the Real World Expirience there is a section "DESCI Success Stories"

Finally finished report for Round Two.

Unfortunatelly the results are not so interesting compared to the first round :D With the first round we were lucky to catch the green wave that started with crypto earlier this year


Matching fund: 500 $USDC
Round saturation: 4.05%
To be payed: 20.2827 USDC
Chains: Scroll
Total projects: 9
Total raised: $14.32
Total Contributions: 11
Dates: May 23 - June 3


PS The payout hence small still will be done somewhere this week
PPS Still waiting for the funds from Polygon Round One

Payout transaction for Round Two have being sent

What should be the next experiment?

Anyone got ideas how HyperDeSci could benefit Arbitrum ecosystem?

If anyone has an idea we could do something like:

1. The donated funds will be distributed later via QF
2. 30% of the matching funds will go to those who would deliver something for the Arb ecosystem, while the rest 70% will go to the matching pool as well

If anyone got any ideas - let's discuss

Nice book about onchain capital allocation by Owocki (founder of gitcoin)

A great source of inspiration for new (upcoming :D) ways to fund DeSci

I’ve applied with LunCo to DeSci and Collabtech Rounds

And with HuperDeSci to Web3 Grants Ecosystem advancement

Let me know if anyone would like to make an application to Token Engineering round with HyperDeSci as it requires tons of work that I don’t have energy for right now + I’m not sure if we should stack to Optimism Superchain

Hi all,

Here is GG21 DeSci round 1st cornerstone, feel free to jump in right now

PLZ Sup DeSci round operaion group on GIV-ARB round to get some compensation for the guys!

It's URGENT, plz find some time to make it today (hopefully it'll help to run the next DeSci round in October)

It’ll be hot in Thailand!

The research https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0305178

I’m thinking of running an experiment to fund science.

The idea is much inspired by all the talks we had about desci at zuvillage Georgia, thx to everyone whom I met

1. Mint a token, add some liquidity e.g 1000$

2. Distribute some of them e.g. 10% among well-known community members (like previous grantees, or people who met irl, or we trust) to be used as to stake for eligibility of projects

3. 5% airdrop with a promise to use it for voting among everyone who would apply (with anti Sybil/screening)

3.1 maybe 2% of those 5% to airdrop to previous donors to desci rounds on gitcoin?

4. 6% airdrop to those who voted on the round after they distribute all the funds from step 3

5. 10% matching fund for projects on the round with 10% matching cap

6. 10% as initial lp

7. 10% to the team who will run it distributed e.g. via coordinape

8. Later all the funds raised in a form of grants:donations and other activities would be used to buy token to be used as matching pool

Total: 41%

The rest 59 to leave in treasury for further distribution/experiments?


Who is down to make it happen?

Ps suggestions are highly welcome

PPS it’s a pure coordination exercise, internal community token without any expectation of profit

PPS we could do a lot of treasury management via juicebox
$HPDS

HyperDeSci is on Giveth round!

By donating a dollar (ideally a GloDollar) you'll help to secure funds to run the experiment!

(Essentially those funds would be distributed among DeSci projects!)
