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

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,

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

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!)
