The Cult DAO Round Eligibility

Welcome to The Cult DAO Round. In the same spirit as MetaCulture’s Gitcoin Grants 18 round, here we incentivize adding to the stone soup at the heart of the Cult DAO ecosystem. Working with the talented Gitcoin team which Kevin Owocki has synched us with is how governance members can begin to sustainably capture the value you create. At a community level, this grows Cult DAO’s decentralized impact through network effects, incentive alignment, and building legitimacy in ways we have talked about many times, yet not had the capacity to put into practice. Thus, if you have an idea you’d like funding for which grows the DAO’s culture in terms of Branding and Partnerships (see below), please submit it and we will review. As starting points, consider the themes below which are present in The Cult Manifesto and OG medium articles, and serve as directions for thinking about branding and partnerships: •Decentralized organizing & community building •The environment & sustainability •Peer-to-peer mental health care •Public goods funding. You may have other themes in mind or combine the above of course. If you do, please submit your reasoning, keeping in mind that the purpose of this Round is to incentivize contributions to Branding and Partnerships in order to grow the Cult ecosystem in new directions.

Requirements

• Branding: Combine Cult DAO branding with graphics and content from Lunarpunk and Solarpunk communities, protocols building on Modulus, past Cult grantees, and other Cult aligned initiatives applying for Gitcoin funding. The purpose is giving direction to how we communicate on Twitter by converting our raw energy into value alignment and incentives for other communities and contributors.
• Partnerships: If you have ideas for developing sustained partnerships with value aligned communities or individuals, or you have already done so and can provide evidence to back your claims, then send us your ideas. Think of protocols and initiatives which support environmental sustainability and regenerative finance, decentralized organizing, mental health care, public goods funding, etc.The objective is value aligned returns on relationship (a term due to Holly) which build Cult DAO’s legitimacy over time when properly managed. Please send your plan as to why your partnership idea fits. This is not about flashes in the pan or influencers promoting Cult.
