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.
Both Eric Alston and Sofia Cossar have published academically on blockchain governance, demonstrating a track record of research.
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 aims to develop a policy brief discussing encryption and zero knowledge proofs, with implications for digital governance and privacy rights, which can be related to decentralized governance systems.
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.
The provided information does not clarify whether the project has received any VC or ROI-based funding.
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 description indicates that the policy brief is intended to be developed into a law review article and is mentioned as a prospective activity, suggesting the research is not completed and may be currently ongoing.
