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 lead, Daniel Kronovet, and the advisors, Seth Frey and Joseph DeSimone, have demonstrated a track record of research in disciplines relevant to the project, as indicated by the project description and personnel background.
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.
Mirror by Zaratan has a clear focus on DAO governance and design, as it's a platform for managing decentralized residential communities. This aligns well with the thematic focus of the round.
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.

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 funding sought will go towards development, marketing, and legal costs for the ongoing development and distribution of the platform, suggesting the research is currently ongoing.
