Spark Ecosystems

Spark Ecosystems builds tools for impact evaluation and certification. We believe in the Impact=Profit meme. We are currently building a new tool to help projects use the Ecological Benefits Framework to measure their impact.

Our suite of tools includes Deresy, a decentralized review system that provides an evaluation layer for Hypercerts impact claims. Deresy allows 3rd party reviewers to generate attestations on EAS. We also developed Hyperminter is a project in collaboration with Hypercerts that allows gitcoin grantees to easily mint hypercerts for their project after each round. Our newest tool is ImpactScribe which utilizes account abstraction to allow any user to fill out our question set and then the data is stored on IPFS and an attestation is generated on EAS.

We have developed an MVP of the tool that allows any project making a positive impact in the world to generate an Ecological Benefits Framework (EBF) Impact certificate, Impact report, and a digital fingerprint. This project is being built in collaboration with the Lexicon, ebfcommon.org and ReFi DAO to create a prototype tool that helps projects utilize the EBF framework. We incorporate account abstraction so that users only need an email to create an account, and a wallet will be generated for them. After answering a set of questions, the user will submit them, and the data is stored on IPFS and an attestation will be generated onchain. The user does not have to sign any transactions and the gas is paid by the tool. The MVP is an experiment in building a web3 tool with web2 accessibility. The tool will be useful for any public goods project working with IRL communities that have yet to be onboarded to web3.

Deresy | GitHub

A Decentralized Review System. We launched v1 of the tool over a year ago to review Gitcoin grants from the old cGrants platform directly. We recently launched v2, which integrates with Hypercerts and generates attestations on EAS. The tool allows any round operator or funder to conduct 3rd party reviews of Hypercert impact claims.

Pilot Use cases: GreenPill Network

• We partnered with the GreenPill network to use the tool to review the Hypercerts associated with their most recent grant round in GG19. Two paid reviewers each reviewed ten Hypercerts. https://deresy.xyz/hypercerts
• PDX DAO - General Forum on Ethereum Localism A small experiment to trial minting a Hypercert and generating an evaluation for an IRL event. https://deresy.xyz/hypercerts/18600855022999259228298446166042745742819328

Hyperminter | GitHub

This is the first third-party UI for minting Hypercerts for Gitcoin grants. The tool connects to the Gitcoin indexer and pre-fills a form with grantee data after a grant round. This includes an allowlist of donors who have donated to the project during the round. The grantee then edits the form and mints a Hypercert. This was previously a manual process conducted by Gitcoin and the Hypercerts team. Now, grantees can use the self-serve tool to mint a Hypercert for any grant.

Road Map

Your support will help fund our work on ImpactScribe. Our next sprint will include analyzing the data produced in the first sprint and generating onchain impact reports and EBF fingerprints. We are developing this project in collaboration with ReFi DAO and the Lexicon. The next development sprint will focus on using LLMs to synthesize the data collected into an Impact Report and EBF fingerprint.
