You are a researcher. To qualify for this round you need to have a track record of research. This can be as part of an academic affiliation or as an independent researcher. If you are applying for a grant for your first research project, email hello@metagov.org with more info on why you are the right person to conduct this research.
The project description mentions a team of 3 contributors with expertise in decentralized technologies, but does not explicitly mention any track record of research or academic affiliation which is required to evaluate their eligibility. More information is needed to confirm the research credentials of the team.
Governance focus for the research. We will only accept grants that have a clear focus on governance. As noted in the description, you don’t necessarily need to focus exclusively on DAO or web3 governance, but your research needs to be applicable to decentralized governance broadly. A focus on Arbitrum or Uniswap is appreciated but not required.
The project's stated aim is to provide an overview of the state of DAO governance and DAO design, and it plans to include specific analysis of decentralized structures, voting processes, and participation mechanisms in DAOs such as Uniswap DAO and ArbitrumDAO, which aligns well with the governance focus for research.
No for-profit funding. If you have received VC funding or any other kind of funding that requires a return on investment, then it will not qualify. It is ok if you’ve received other grants.
There is no explicit mention in the project description about the project's funding sources, whether they have received for-profit funding, or VC funding. Without this information, it is impossible to determine their eligibility on this criterion.
No retrospective funding. The research must either be launched soon or currently ongoing. Completed projects are not eligible for funding in this round.
The project is described as having completed an initial research phase but is also ongoing, with future expansion and additional research planned. According to the description, they have achieved some milestones but need funding to continue, suggesting the project is neither completed nor retrospectively seeking funding for completed work.
