Always a pleasure @MontyMerlin.

:ballot_box_with_ballot: Steward Scorecard: Ethereum Localism x Regen Coordination

Evaluated using my steward scorecard — manually reviewed for consistency, clarity, and alignment with GG24 criteria.

:white_check_mark: Submission Compliance

  • Structured proposal with clear sensemaking, mechanisms, metrics, and domain infrastructure
  • Deep ecosystem participation; strong coalition already forming
  • Funding, partners, and pilot scope partially detailed but needs clearer October delivery
  • Verdict: :white_check_mark: Compliant

:bar_chart: Scorecard Evaluation

Total Score: 13 / 16

# Criteria Score Notes
1 Problem Clarity & Relevance 2 Clear articulation of Ethereum’s adoption gap and how localism addresses it
2 Sensemaking Approach 2 Extensive learning from dozens of previous rounds; strong ecosystem insights
3 Gitcoin Fit & Uniqueness 2 Aligns directly with Gitcoin 3.0’s mission and the DDA model
4 Fundraising Plan 2 $50K+ confirmed from CeloPG + verbal commitments from BioFi, EF, and others
5 Capital Allocation Design 2 Multi-mechanism: AlloKit, ImpactQF, EAS, KarmaGAP, Prosperity Pass — all relevant
6 Domain Expertise & Delivery 2 Regen Coordination + Silvi + BioFi bring legit experience in coordination and ops
7 Clarity & Completeness 1 Clear vision, but October pilots still need sharper scoping and delivery plan
8 Gitcoin Support Required 0 Will require Gitcoin infra, governance design, and matching network support

:pushpin: Feedback for Improvement

Strengths

  • Domain leverages real experiments: BioFi, ReFi Med, AI ImpactQF, etc
  • Pilots proposed as place-based rounds — scoped well for replication
  • “Total Value Flowed” metric is innovative and directly aligned with Ethereum values

Gaps

  • October deliverables are not fully locked in (pilots, budgets, matching %s)
  • No governance pathway outlined — who governs after GG24?
  • Needs stronger public dashboard/infra plan for TVF & coordination metrics

:white_check_mark: Support

I support this domain. Ethereum Localism is thematically strong, strategically aligned, and backed by real-world coordination work. With clear pilot scoping and Gitcoin support, it can credibly deliver in GG24 and help evolve plural coordination at scale.

Would like to see before voting:

  • 3–5 confirmed local pilot sites + steward orgs
  • Named matching funders per pilot (even soft commits)
  • Public dashboard plan for TVF + region tracking
