Our Gitcoin Project

The Member Portal by Decentralized Philly aims to improve community engagement within our 1000+ member Meetup community. We are applying for funding in this round to support the development of a long-discussed idea we have been incubating.

The Member Portal is an onchain app that combines 3 key features we have identified as core to our community engagement. These are:

  • Event Ticketing
  • Group Chat
  • Reputation Staking

The goal of our project is to enhance community engagement by offering a unified and branded application for our members to use for engaging with members outside of our IRL meetups.
