ForkinWisdom: Collaborative storytelling and milestone-reporting campaigns (on-chain and gas-less) to help the Web3 grants ecosystem thrive

We are going to create "collaborative storytelling and milestone-reporting campaigns (on-chain and gas-less)" to help at least 12 web3 grants projects thrive (see the list below). We will create at least 12 campaigns (one per project) to get more web2 people to get into web3 and start supporting public goods.

The community will frictionlessly (on-chain and gas-less) help the project with research, milestone-reporting, storytelling ideas, voting, and amplifying their mission. They will receive economic prizes (in USDC), providing a significant incentive for participation. As the campaign progresses, we will cultivate a highly engaged and invested community, excited about each project's mission, milestones, and eager to become long-term advocates and contributors.

This project will create a growth flywheel for the projects and for the entire web3 grant ecosystem. It will build more trust and accountability, will better communicate their mission, increase their support and funding, and at the same time it will help onboard more people to web3.

100% of the funds will be used to create storytelling and milestone-reporting campaigns for the web3 grants projects.

50% of those resources will be used to reward the community for collaborating, voting and amplifying their campaigns.

The projects that we will support are:

KarmaGap Open Source Observer Charmverse Thrive Protocol Celo Public Goods Optimism RPGF Gitcoin Giveth Greenpill Podcast Open Civics Funding the commons Regens Unite

We will be able to support these 12 projects thanks to your support in GG21 and previous funding in Gitcoin Rounds. We will add a new project for every $500 usd that we receive above the $3,000 mark. We really appreciate your support!

We want to empower the web3 grants ecosystem, so we are building a platform that strengthens their impact through interactive storytelling, gamified community engagement, and frictionless web3 onboarding. Our platform ensures deep engagement and long term participation and growth, creating vibrant communities excited to drive positive change.

The project has these characteristics:

CREATIVE SCROLLABLE STORYTELLING: In today's world where attention is fiercely contested, compelling storytelling is crucial. We have created a very innovative scrollable storytelling technique to ensure that newly onboarded people will understand the project's mission and milestones, and also will be very engaged and interested in participating further.

GAMIFIED ONBOARDING AND SENSEMAKING: We will build strong communities for web3 grants projects using a gamified collaborative experience. The community will frictionlessly (on-chain and gas-less) help the project with research, milestone-reporting, storytelling ideas, voting, and amplifying their mission. They will receive economic prizes (in USDC), providing a significant incentive for participation. As the campaign progresses, we will cultivate a highly engaged and invested community, excited about each project's mission, milestones, and eager to become long-term advocates and contributors.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH AND ON-CHAIN MILESTONE-REPORTING: The long-term success of web3 public good funding is to create accountability and trust. We will ask the projects to publish their milestones on-chain (KarmaGap, Hypercerts, EAS, etc.) and we will use these to create our research and storytelling campaigns. This will bring accountability and trust to the projects, which will translate to more funding in the future. All the research, campaigns and storytelling materials will be published using a Creative Commons License (CC BY-SA 4.0).

FRICTIONLESS WEB3 ONBOARDING: Web3 is an amazing tool for transparency and decentralization, but newcomers have been reluctant to join due to the complexity of the onboarding process. We want to change that. Our web app provides users with an embedded smart wallet (keychain only, no passwords, seed phrases, etc.), and every transaction is sponsored, so they don't have to purchase any eth or anything to move funds or vote. This allows users to experience Web3 without any risks or hurdles.

This project will create a growth flywheel for every project. Its gamified, creative and gas-less nature will help onboard more people to web3, and this will bring more resources to the projects and to the whole web3 public goods ecosystem.

Thanks for your support! :D
