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 proposal is submitted by Paradigma Education, which appears to be a research house that has conducted various analyses on DAO governance, with examples provided indicating a clear track record in 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 focuses on creating a metric called 'EXPLORABILITY' to measure the vulnerability of DAOs to certain types of governance attacks, which is directly 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.
Based on the information provided, there is no explicit mention of whether Paradigma Education has received VC or any profit-driven funding, so this evaluation remains uncertain unless further information is made available.
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 proposal outlines plans for further research to 'expand this research to analyze more DAOs from different sectors' and is intended to 'complement it with more data to improve our metrics', suggesting that the research is ongoing and not completed.
