Funding for a research group focusing on developing DAO contracts with a new accounting method, Oxcart, to improve DAO governance automation.

This grant would fund a growing research collective aiming to take a simple and technically-feasible approach to DAO contract development, utilizing a novel accounting methodology called Oxcart. The purpose of this grant is to establish and open contribution framework around the methodology that we believe will inspire many fast, cheap, more legitimized and on-chain automated DAO governance processes, smart-contracts, token-standards and governance-focused blockchains.
