Projects must be associated with a metacrisis vertical (nuclear disarmament, biosecurity, weaponized drones, grid fragility, biodiversity collapse, etc) and/or horizontal topic area/generator function (multipolar traps, perverse incentives, plausible deniability, etc).
The Decentralized Effective Altruism (EA DAO) project aims to address existential risks and improve the effective altruism community's ability to respond to various metacrisis verticals by leveraging web3 technologies. Their focus on AI risks and existential risks (X-risks), as stated in their intended use of funds, aligns with horizontal topic areas that contribute to the metacrisis. Furthermore, their goal to decentralize grant-making mechanisms could address issues related to multipolar traps and perverse incentives by increasing transparency and accountability within the EA movement.
