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 indicates the involvement of individuals with a strong research background and track record. Specifically, co-founder Tamara Helenius has past research experience and her leadership suggests the project has research capabilities.
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.
Commons Stack's project description clearly articulates their focus on developing cultural frameworks, economic co-design, and tools for governance, all of which are deeply tied to decentralized governance systems, including DAOs.
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.
