Introducing Doogly
Summary
Doogly is the mobile-first Allo client and donation platform. It is built on top of Allo protocol where the donors can swipe through the projects, donate cross-chain using any ERC20 token they have, and get hypercerts which will accrue impact attestations as their donated project creates some impact to the ecosystem.
The aim is to create the best possible mobile-UX for the participants of gitcoin quadratic funding mechanisms to actively engage, donate and vote for the projects.
The MVP is already live, checkout - https://donate.doogly.org
Problem
The participant’s attention becomes really valuable when the quadratic funding mechanism requires human-in-loop and creating the better UX maximises the efficiency with which the attention span is utilised hence impacting the overall outcome.
Whenever the donor tries to participate in the quadratic funding round to support projects they have to encounter certain friction points -
- Cherry-picking the right projects from the pool of 1000+ projects is much of an hassle especially when it involves impact evaluation
- Even after the user manage to successfully curate the right projects there is no easy way to donate to the projects when they don’t have the required tokens on the required chain
Solution
In order to make the donor’s life a bit easier we have built Doogly. Features -
-
The project discovery is powered by a recommendation algorithm that recommends the right projects to the donors that they can swipe left and right.
-
The user can check the project details, endorse them, and we present the project impact metrics in the format understandable to them
-
On clicking the endorse button the user can provide rating, endorsements and additional feedback to the projects in the form of on-chain attestations
-
User can also view detailed description of the project that also includes the impact details. All of this combined will help the users make an informed decision regarding which projects to support.
-
Once the users clicks the donate button, they can visit the checkout page by clicking the bag icon at bottom right. The users can then select the desired chain and token and click donate. Doogly will perform all the swapping and bridging in order to ensure the receivers get the right token on their correct destination chain.
-
Upon successful contribution the donors will get hypercerts (https://hypercerts.org) as a token of impact
Why Doogly?
- It’s good to have multiple clients on top of Allo protocol providing flexibility for the users to choose from many and it also promotes decentralization
- Having the mobile-first UX with added gamification + social layer will drive more engagements to Allo protocol
Doogly is still at its experimentation phase and initial aim is to have users test out this product, get quick community feedback so we can iterate faster while we are still figuring out pmf.
