I love this. It looks like a very thoughtful design.
The monthly demos could be a good way of helping devs network. Those personal connections can lead to more incubator projects and having a good network of web3 frens will help weather the crypto winter.
We are experimening with other new ways of making regen crypto a movement. This might mean a greenpill course or audiobook, or supporting local greenpill meetups across the world. More here.
We will have lots of fun new supermodular swag at ETHDenver. Looking forward to attending schelling point and giving you all some!
DEEP on building software
We are launching https://buidlbox.io/ at ETHDenver. (Buidlbox used to be known as Gitcoin Hackathons)
We are working with Protocol Labs on http://hypercerts.xyz/, which is launching on top of Grants Stack on ETHDenver.
Some of the work is just taking QF and putting it in new places.
We’re building Simple Grants, a web2/fiat grants tool. Once this ships, we have leads to run rounds for (1) the democratic party (2) a town in Africa, also the state of Colorado (3) web2 Open Source.
Some other work is extending Grants Stack.
A QV fork of Allocation Protocol.
A tool for sorting/contacting winners of a Grants Round
Things I’d LIKE to build in 2023.
This is work that we’ve not yet gotten traction on yet but would like to.
a L2/block builder/block proposer/ MEV tool that funds public goods with its fee generation
web3 SAAS tools (long live EIP 1337) that give DAOS easy tools to generate subscription revenue
We’d love to build on top of Passport. But we’re not sure what/where/how to do that yet.
A product hunt for web3. What if we built this on top of Grants Stack and/or used the Grants Stack Data to surface the best new projects?
One area of BIG opportunity we see is to fork Allocation Protocol and build many different coordination mechanisms on top of it. Taking Gitcoin Grants Stack from QF => a pluralism of practical coordination mechanisms. We could do a hyperparameter sweep of whats possible in web3 human coordination and achieve MAXIMUM COORDINATION!!!
QF for communities I’m in: stuff like moonshot bots, SACKS, boulder blockchain
Summary
This is a TLDR of what Supermodular has been up to.
If this is helpful to you please the post so I know to continue making updates like this. If so, I think quarterly updates might be a good cadence.
