In loving memory of @izzylawrence11, a friend and a colleague whom I looked up to in this space. We hope to keep the fire you started burning. Stay well, we'll see again. 🕊🕊️

Effective Public Goods Funding (PGF) suffers from high evaluation costs. On average, assessing a round costs 10% of the total funding pool; the actual figure scales upward with the size of the round’s pool. This overhead directly diverts capital away from the participants who need it most. Our research, proposed for @Artizen Fund Season 6, aims to reclaim these resources by answering three critical questions: Cost Efficiency: To what extent can LLM evaluators reduce the overhead of human-led processes? Collective Intelligence: Can we implement the Wisdom of the Crowd theory into this LLM evaluation framework to achieve superior crowd evaluation intelligence? Accuracy: How do LLM evaluations perform relative to human benchmarks in subjective contexts? Our goal is simple: minimize the cost of distribution to maximize the impact of the capital. And we would really appreciate your support for the Artizen Fund by purchasing our research artifact here: artizen.fund/index/p/utilisi… Thank you 🙏

Getting locals to use web3 tools is hard because much can go wrong; funding loss, tooling abandonment, complexity fatigue - you name it. This article, second in the series, shares how ReFi communities navigate these issues. Have a delightful read. carboncopy.news/content/web3…

If you've been wondering what else we've been up to over the past few months, the latest edition of our newsletter explains everything! paragraph.com/@carboncopy/lo…

The first article in the series is live. This piece highlights patterns in the survey — from the ineffectiveness of web3 governance tools for local contexts to the redundancy of impact reporting tools, and more. Have a good read. carboncopy.news/content/web3…

Are web3 tools actually helping ReFi communities or creating more challenges for them? Last year, we partnered with @CC_ReFi_News to answer this question through surveys and multiple one-on-one interactions with stewards from different communities. 🧵

Earlier this year, we spent 6 weeks researching and building a funding readiness framework to help Web3 ecosystems identify projects that are ready to make the jump to the growth stage. @TrinityMorphy describes our work in his latest article. carboncopy.news/content/feat…

We’re seeding $100,000 in matching funds to 8 resilient bioregions combating deforestation. The Bioregional Reforestation Grants Round, the largest blockchain-native, outcomes-based reforestation grant round yet, is officially open! Portal link in bio 🧵👇

Public Good Staking - Builder Space #15 x.com/i/broadcasts/1lPKqvWlw…

Still wandering what Public Goods mean in Web3 and concerned on knowing more. Then... Set a reminder as we walk you through it this Friday, 7pm.

My friend (@alwynvanwyk) is researching capital allocation in Ethereum and seeks to understand how capital allocators make funding decisions & where friction shows up. If you’re an allocator (or know someone who is), please fill out the survey below to help @alwynvanwyk's research & share 🙏 Link to survey: github.com/alwynvanwyk/arq/b… Thank you.

A few weeks ago, @kentbabin and I took on the task to develop a funding readiness framework for ReFi projects. We believe this framework is essential because, as ReFi grant funding continues to shrink each season, the only hope for many promising projects lies in concentrated funding. Our goal is to create a tool that both projects and funders can use to assess whether a project is truly funding-ready. We define funding readiness as the stage at which a project is prepared to take the leap toward financial sustainability with the support of external capital. To explore this, we had to confront a core dilemma in ReFi: Impact vs. Profit. Can a ReFi project generate profit while creating impact? Absolutely. In my latest article for @CC_ReFi_News, I examine the foundational revenue models being used by ReFi projects that are creating lasting impact in their target areas. My hope is that this piece serves as both a guide and a playbook for ReFi teams working to strengthen their business models, with the highlighted projects serving as case studies for building web3 impact businesses. 👉 Foundational Revenue Models in ReFi: carboncopy.news/features/ref… That said, it’s important to recognise that simply having a business model does not automatically mean a project is funding ready. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing empirical insights from our findings on what truly defines funding readiness for ReFi projects.
