It is primarily designed to streamline the adoption of decentralized technology, offering a user-friendly Web2 native experience underpinned by robust Web3 technology. By bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3, our project accelerates the proliferation of Web3 innovations to a broader audience, with a particular focus on catering to Creators and SMEs through the incorporation of SocialFi features.

We actively engage with the community through a series of in-person events, such as empowering Women in Tech and community members. These events are dedicated to educating and upskilling individuals on decentralized technology, thus contributing to the growth and development of the Web3 space and the Ethereum ecosystem as a whole. Our commitment to simplifying the onboarding process and fostering education and inclusivity within the community sets the foundation for a more robust and vibrant Ethereum and Web3 ecosystem.
The Beepo Project is innovating the Social and Finance space through decentralized technology and a simplified onboarding process, we want to scale the adoption of web3 technology without compromising Simplicity and privacy, giving users the rich web2 experience on a web3-powered protocol. We have utilized and validated our Zero Knowledge onboarding process for users and have integrated MPC Algorithms in our coming Versions. At the earliest phase of development, we had over 19,000 waitlist applicants and over 4,000 Closed BETA testers and now in our Open BETA phase, we have recorded over 1,000 downloads on the Play Store and over 7,000 engagements on the Open BETA testing Campaigns.

To measure the impact of our project, we employ various metrics and indicators to assess its effectiveness and success. Some examples and standard metrics we use include:

User Engagement: Tracking user activity, such as daily active users, time spent on the platform, and the frequency of interactions, provides insights into the platform's popularity and stickiness.

Adoption Rate: Monitoring the rate at which new users join the platform indicates its appeal and ability to attract a growing user base.

Financial Transactions: Analyzing the volume and frequency of financial transactions conducted on the platform reflects the platform's role in facilitating financial activities.

Customer Feedback: Collecting user feedback through surveys or reviews helps us gauge their satisfaction, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions.

Security and Privacy Metrics: Continuously monitoring the platform's security performance, data protection measures, and incidents of privacy breaches ensures that users' trust remains intact.

Return on Investment (ROI): Assessing the financial impact of the project by comparing the cost of development and operations against revenue generation and potential savings.

Impact on Users' Businesses: Understanding how the platform positively affects small-scale businesses, freelancers, and individual consumers, e.g., increased sales, reduced costs, or enhanced efficiency.

Market Share and Competitor Analysis: Analyzing our market share compared to competitors and identifying areas where we outperform or areas that require improvement.

Environmental Impact (if applicable): Tracking the project's carbon footprint and any initiatives to contribute to sustainability and minimize environmental impact.

Social and Community Impact: Evaluating how the project fosters a sense of community, supports social causes, or positively impacts the lives of users.

By regularly monitoring these metrics and analyzing data, we can measure the impact of our project accurately. The insights gathered from these measurements will be compiled into impact reports, providing stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of our project's achievements and areas for future growth and development.
Compared to the substantial value derived from the previous rounds, our recent endeavors have yielded remarkable results. Not only have we garnered increased exposure within the community, fostering new relationships and partnerships with other ecosystems, but we've also managed to streamline our development timeline from 6 months to just 3 months. This achievement, based on thorough analysis, marks a significant stride towards the forthcoming launch of our new updates in a matter of months.

Our dedication to enhancing user experience is evident through successfully implementing the Multi-party Computation algorithm infrastructure into our core system. This pivotal addition has significantly simplified the onboarding process, especially for those who are new to the world of Web3. The Beepo App wallet has expanded its support for a wider range of tokens, and users can now enjoy a new tab dedicated to 'Moments,' among many other exciting improvements.

This is due to the public not having an efficient way to coordinate in selecting the ads that interest them. This mechanism attempts to solve that.

Everyday users would finally enjoy and be compensated for the ads they view and engage with, advertisers gain a more verifiable but less intrusive way to gauge users' interests, and publishers a more seamless and sound way to monetize their platforms.

We would see genuine web3 product innovation and economic development, where every party would have a soul-flourishing experience, at last.

Ultimately, we aim to collaborate and implement this mechanism within many projects, starting in web3.
A few important metrics to consider when measuring impact and results: advertisers’ campaign spending and reimbursing amounts, users’ engagement rate through time and in total, advertiser turn-over and churn rates, the rate of Sybil attacks, the level of privacy in data collection from users, both qualitative and quantitative, through degrees of preference.Since last time, a new member with smart contract expertise has been added to the team. With his help:

- The mechanism has been fine-tuned against pre-existing inefficiencies.

- An Allo pool deployment for testing purposes is in the works and will be executed in November. We will later convene with the Allo team for feedback and fine-tuning.

- An MVP to test out with different, interested projects is in the works too and will likely be ready this year.

It creates great values for crypto projects and users. It's so new and in a pretty early stage. Currently it has problems like bot users could acquire quite many more benefits compared with regular users. Not a big problem since it's so new. And we believe crypto community would expect a totally new generation of airdrop, which could solve the problems listed above. And we're one of them and we believe we could provide quite an interesting and valuable solution. And if we had a chance to make more regular users getting much more and more from airdrops, that could probably be one of the moments that we believe we're closer to our goals.We're exploring new generation of airdrop and if it had a chance in the future, we believe it could have lots of impacts to crypto projects. That would be valuable, worthwhile. We're really happy to see a crypto project which has much more efficiency connect project and users, and bring much more benefits (compared with web2) to end users. It's really exciting to have a future like that.

For metrics, we would be carefully monitoring projects providing airdrop products and benefits it bring both to projects and users. We do have an internal metric that constantly update on these and hope our product could improve that number in a great way.
2023/10/7:

1: We're so excited to announce that Inferer has officially launched our Inferer Identity product https://id.inferer.xyz NOW. Brand new design, beautiful design style, smoonth product user experience. No more chrome plugin edition, full mode desktop product, just gorgeous. We have put so much time in iteracting Identity product, including 3 versions PRD, 7 versions Design documents, and 3 big rounds of internal iteration from v1.0 to v1.3(current version). And now we made it, with such a great product quality which we're pretty pround of. Hope you will like it.

2: This brand new identity product introduces our latest great Inferer User Portrait system, which utilize our internal user label system and classfication algorithm and provide a great way to check crypto user's portrait. We believe it would generate quite lot of values in future user related products. We're pretty excited about that.

3: Moreover, Identity is so good, but we're also developing a crazy product in the meanwhile - Inferer Airdrop. We've mentioned that before, and you could imagine that it has progressed quite far away both in product concept and engineering feasibility verification. All these are getting done while we're polishing our great Inferer Identity product. Lots of new stuff and ideas, just crazy. Contact us to get enrolled in early bird product version and we do have an exciting plan to enroll, expand and stimulate. Airdrop would not be a simple airdrop any more. We believe it did have a chance to generate quite much value to our crypto community. It would be mind blowing.

It can be a barrier to entry when it is so easy for new users to lose their money in scams and hacks. Revoke.cash is combating this with its accessible security tools.We look at how many people use our website and browser extension.

It is also relevant to look at how much money gets stolen through phishing scams and smart contracts exploits, since this shows the importance of having tools like Revoke.cash that help deal with this. However, it is hard to draw conclusions about our actual impact from this, since there are many other factors that influence this number.
The last Gitcoin Grants round we participated in was GG18 in August. Since then we've launched several important features:

- Add pricing information and "value at risk" metrics
- Add a wallet health indicator
- Add support for Permit2 approvals to the approvals dashboard
- Create educational content about Permit signatures and Permit2
- Add new export checkers for the Galxe Frontend Hack and Maestro Bot Hack
- Add support for opBNB, Scroll, Zora, Shimmer, Manta Pacific, XDC, MaxxChain, OctaSpace, Bitgert, Rollux, Milkomeda, Elastos, Shibarium, Velas, KardiaChain, Pego and WEMIX

Additionally, there are plans to integrate research capabilities for Beacon Chain and MEV in this software, enabling various tasks to be performed within the software without the need to navigate multiple websites in a browser.

Moreover, by switching RPC endpoints, it can be used as an explorer for not only Ethereum but also EVM-compatible chains.
This is software intended for developers, so some possible metrics include:
- The number of downloads
- The GitHub stars it has received.

1. For common users, we helped more than 300,000 users bridged 133MM+ assets among 15 L1 and L2s. Now, there is about 6MM weekly cross-chain volume happened on OmniBTC. OmniSwap is a DEX and Bridge aggregation which enables users to bridge and swap for any assets between any chains with just 1-click.

2. For Bridges, we have integrated with ChainX Bridge, LayerZero, Stargate, Connext, Celer Network, Wormhole and Bool Network into our platform to increase their network traffic and revenue.

3. For Defi protocols, we have integrated with more than 20 DEXs and 2 DEX aggregations(KyberSwap and OpenOcean). We know that different DEXs will have different price advantages in different range of trading amount. The more DEXs aggregated, the less cross-chain cost users will take.

4. For chains and L2s, we are always the first Bridge supporting bridge from other L2s to new L2s. For example, users who have bridged assets to Linea, Scroll, Base will spend more time when they withdraw assets to L1 or other chains. However, with the help of OmniBTC, they can easily withdraw assets seemlessly.

Our core product allows individuals to donate a percentage of their yield to the Gitcoin Matching Pool.
We measure impact by research & development progress as well as funding raised for public goods.

FundPG also sells shirts that allocate proceeds to the gitcoin matching pool: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m1a7v3qVfN2394m2oJfAXgmuKXgFNuDoEbevC4AgUXw/edit#gid=0
We have continued to do research around governance models for sustainable ways of collectively generating yield and both proactively and retroactively allocating it to public goods funding.

We also recently built out a small development for Octant to increase the amount of public goods funding by giving users insight into the amount of yield they are generating for public goods.

Ever since our participation in our last round, we have made great progress and will keep doing so.

EIP-7265 tries sto standardize how token contracts should be engineered with advanced security features, such as circuit breakers

Build out new case studies and implementation guides for the Circuit Breaker Standard, as well as providing the ethereum developer community with adequate tooling. Like a token security SDK.

From our previous participation in GG18, we were able to make great progress on that.
There are no direct live metrics, such as TVL or transactions available.
However the most relevant quantitative metric to measure our projects success, in respect to what we are building is

### Total liquidity protected

- D_i = deposit at block i
- W_i = withdrawal at block i
- T_i = threshold at block i
- F_i = firewall triggered at block i (1 if the firewall is triggered at block i, 0 if the firewall is not triggered)
- n = Time windows for the Firewall as a number of blocks (block interval over which the threshold is computed)
- m = number of blocks for the cooldown period

### **Cooldown function at block j**

This function checks whether a block j is within the cooldown period after the firewall has been triggered. It returns 1 if the firewall is triggered, 0 otherwise.

- CD(j) = max_{k=1}^{j-1} (F_k * I(j - k <= m))

where I(condition) is the indicator function, returning 1 if the condition is true and 0 otherwise.

### **Liquidity function at block i:**

If the block i is within the cooldown period (CD(i) = 1), the withdrawal term W_i * (1 - CD(i)) will be zero.

- L_i = (D_i - W_i * (1 - CD(i))) * T_i


### **Total Liquidity protected by the firewall at block i:**

The total liquidity protected over the n blocks is the sum of the liquidity protected at each block:

- TotalLiquidityProtected = sum_{i=1}^n L_i

‚Üí when reaching an in production state with our proposed project, its impact can be measured based on the metrics above.

By providing an interactive chat interface and assistance for learning Solidity, Web3 GPT helps to lower the barrier to entry for those looking to develop on the Ethereum blockchain. Additionally, by allowing users to experiment and prototype without the need for a cryptocurrency wallet or coding IDE, Web3 GPT encourages innovation and experimentation within the Web3 space. Overall, Web3 GPT aims to empower more people to participate in and contribute to the Ethereum and Web3 ecosystem, ultimately driving its evolution and enhancement.To measure the impact of Web3 GPT, we track a variety of metrics and gather user feedback to assess how well the tool is meeting its goals. Here are some examples of the metrics we use:

1. **User Adoption**: We track the number of users who have interacted with Web3 GPT, as well as the number of smart contracts generated, compiled, deployed, and verified through the platform.

2. **Learning Outcomes**: We assess the effectiveness of our Solidity learning assistance by tracking user progress and gathering feedback on how well they feel they are understanding and applying the concepts.

3. **User Satisfaction**: We gather user feedback through surveys and direct communication to assess overall satisfaction with the tool, as well as to identify any areas for improvement.

4. **Community Engagement**: We track our engagement with the wider Ethereum and Web3 community, including collaborations, partnerships, and contributions to open-source projects.

By tracking these metrics and gathering user feedback, we aim to continuously improve Web3 GPT and maximize its positive impact on the Ethereum and Web3 ecosystem.

With dSentra project, we're pioneering the concept of #iliquid staking. when fully developed, Ethereum stablecoins issuers will have a viable alternative to LSDs as stablecoins minting collateral (a high-quality iliquid staking derivative collateral with very low inherited risk)

**2) pioneering vertical integration of ETH staking and stablecoins production**
With dSentra project, we're also pioneering the idea of "protocol/community owned staking derivative" by leveraging permissionless staking infrastructure (permissionless staking pools) to vertically integrate ETH staking and stablecoin minting.
Ungoverned, decentralized and uncensorable stablecoins (like RAI and LUSD) -that also check the Public Goods criteria - are less competitive/efficient compared to their less decentralized, censurable counterparts, mainly because [in order to maintain their Ethos], GMDPs only take pure ETH as collateral.

Multi collateral options have been assessed and the only viable collateral for stablecoins production in matters of Ethereum network decentralization ethos are LSDs, but the inherited risk of these assets impose heavy governance by the stablecoins producers which is not ideal as affects the public goods ethos

**We will measure the impact of dSentra project by the increase in efficiency/competitiveness of the governance minimized decentralized stablecoins compared to centralized and censorable ones, once these protocols onboard protocol/community owned iliquid staking collateral**

# Introduced new Tor support materials and video tutorials in four languages

Tor Browser, Tor circumvention tools, Tor documentation and training materials, and OnionShare are now available in Arabic, Chinese, and Swahili.

Additionally, we've developed short, localized, and easy-to-digest explainer videos that guide users on how to access the Tor network, bypass censorship, and share files securely and anonymously. These videos are available in **Arabic, Chinese, Swahili, and English**.

This new video series was designed to showcase the ease-of-use of our most popular tools and combat misconceptions about their everyday use. They serve as user-friendly guides on how to incorporate these tools into daily life and are crucial building blocks in our coordinated approach to reaching activists, journalists, human rights defenders and civil society groups.

# Hosted global conversations defending encryption

The Tor Project's mission is to advance human rights. For us that means not only building and deploying decentralized privacy technology, but also advocating for the protection and unrestricted availability of privacy-preserving technologies like encryption. [We are connecting with people all around the world and supporting them to use the internet safely and freely to achieve this mission](https://blog.torproject.org/global-encryption-day-2023/).

In October, the Tor Project co-organized and co-hosted a workshop at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF)—an annual meeting established by the United Nations as a forum for multi-stakeholder dialogue concerning public policy issues relating to the internet. The panel—entitled Encryption's Critical Role in Safeguarding Human Rights—brought together professionals from the technology, non-profit, policy, human rights and advocacy spaces to discuss balancing the demands of national security with the protection of individual privacy, adherence to international human rights laws and seeking a global approach.

If you're interested to find out what other measures and recommendations to policymakers were proposed, [check out the full session recording](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4FgMt3KXec).

With Gardens, anyone can set up a DAO in minutes, leveraging Conviction Voting, a Community Covenant, and the Celeste arbitration protocol, while also getting the network effects of joining a community of quickly blooming Gardens DAOs.
We measure our impact by the total value of tokens that communities have trusted Gardens to hold in Common Pools: https://defillama.com/protocol/gardens-dao

As well as by the vibrance of the communities that use gardens and how effective they've been at pursuing their purpose.
We've made significant progress towards gardens v2, the first major overhaul of the gardens platform since launching in 2021.

Gardens v2 will support more treasury spending strategies beyond Conviction Voting, be available on more networks, and be easy to migrate for existing gardens. We want to make it easy for organizations to coordinate all the different funding tools they're using, and experiment with new innovative funding strategies quickly and safely.

The heart of gardens will stay the same - an enforceable covenant binding a community towards its mission, whatever that may be.

The goal of this project is to create extensive open data in the art domain in order to make the community more open and the art domain more transparent. It can create a new connection mechanism for art artists and art professionals and contribute to the development of artists in the Ethereum and Web3 ecosystem.Specifically, one measure is that this project will increase the number of people working as art artists and curators as a profession.

Instead of being able to write your dapp and have it work with any wallet, dapp developers have to test with each and every wallet.

Wallet Test Framework is our approach to fixing that problem. We want to give wallet teams a shared set of tests, both to accelerate their development, and to make the user and developer experiences more consistent across wallets.
We measure impact of our project in two ways. The first is direct integration with wallet teams. For example, we have started integrating with Coinbase Wallet and automating our tests against it. The more wallets that use us as part of their testing strategy, the more impact we provide.

Secondly, we provide report cards tracking the status of several wallets against our test suite. We can measure our impact against the performance of wallets against our tests. If wallets are improving over time, we've having an impact!

It would help anyone to perform Sybil analysis on a group of wallets.To measure the impact of the project, we consider a variety of metrics and indicators:
GitHub Metrics: We monitor the number of stars and forks, which can indicate the project's popularity and the community's interest.
Download Counts: We track the number of downloads from package managers, specifically PyPI, to gauge adoption rates.
Issue Engagement: By comparing the number of issues opened versus those closed, we can assess how actively the project is being developed and how responsive it is to user feedback.
Pull Requests: The frequency and number of pull requests serve as indicators of community involvement and external contributions to the project.
Community Engagement: We keep an eye on references and usage by 'Sybil slayers' and other key community members to understand the project's real-world application and relevance.
Documentation Quality: A well-documented package that's easy to use signifies our commitment to user experience and education.
These metrics and indicators collectively provide a holistic view of the project's impact and its value to the community.
For an in-depth look at our progress since the last grant round, please visit the closed issues on GitHub. We've made several releases aimed at enhancing the package's usability and simplifying the computation of fundamental features for Sybil analysis. The package was refactored to simplify import statements. We added a new feature computing 200+ features for any address, the new method uses tsfresh parallelism to parallelize feature computation scaling the usability of the package. It also facilitates the development of new features.
The packages crossed 1200 downloads according to the Bigquery public dataset.

* Voting (including one person, one vote using coinpassport)
I plan to continue creating these tools in order to create demand for block space. Full blocks bring value to the blockchain.Clonk.me frontend now displays a passport badge for accounts that have active verification with coinpassport.net

The first extension, Lotto Launcha, is live on Polygon Mumbai. Anyone can create a lottery with no fees and as many winners or recipients as they want. Optionally, lotteries can restrict ticket purchases to one per person using the integration with Coinpassport.

A second extension is under construction, NFT-based account abstraction, in order to provide a wallet that can be used without installing a browser extension.

We believe adapting an open protocol decentralized communication technology should be the next step in Web3 development.

So we build Eppie — an open protocol decentralized e2e encrypted email for all the existing and many more potential Web3 users. It is easy-to-use as any other email client, but it works in a permission-less p2p network. And it bridges the gap between Web3 and Web2 by supporting conventional email. So users don’t have to immediately give up on the technology they are used to, but have the best of the both worlds.

We believe Eppie can become an important piece of Web3 ecosystem and bring more users to it.
We evaluate the success of our project by the number of users (1000, 10 000, 100 000) and the amount of disk space allocated by users in a decentralized network (10 TB, 100 TB, 1 PB).Eppie is applying for the third time. Since its last appearance in GG18 Round, Eppie got a few significant updates, which are available on Eppie's GitHub (https://github.com/Eppie-io).

- We've been working on Linux support.
- Improved ProtonMail integration (Eppie is currently the only native desktop email client capable of passing ProtonMail's SRP authentication procedure).
- Conducted another round of custdev, interviewing customers on the UX.
- Fixed bugs and polished the app for soft launch, planed later this year.

Our toolbox offers complementary tools such as refinancing and liquidation protection for existing lending protocols. Additionally, our core lending protocol uses an innovative risk segregation approach to boost liquidity across a diverse range of assets.There are three crucial metrics for assessing the impact of our protocol: Total Value Locked (TVL), number of actions automated, and user adoption.

TVL provides an indication of user confidence and adoption levels. A growing TVL suggests increasing interest in and usage of the protocol as more value is locked into the system over time

The number of actions automated quantifies the degree of automation facilitated by the position management tool. These metric measures show how effective the tool is at assisting users in performing their tasks.

User adoption, reflected by the number of active users, is also important for evaluating our protocol's impact. A higher number of active users over time demonstrates that more people are engaging with and benefiting from the protocol.

This primitive ledger of attestations will help us decentralize more than just money and assets.

We'll be able to coordinate and build reputation systems, voting systems, governance systems, decentralized social media, provenance of goods, knowledge and social graphs, and much much more.
We're looking at developer activation and general usage of the protocol. We just crossed over 100k attestations on mainnet deployments + testnets. There's been over 9,000+ attesters and 1k+ schemas created.Since the last round, we've made additional updates to the Attestation Explorer that allow creators to easily attest to the names, descriptions, and context of their attestations.

We've also deployed a new contract for indexing attestations called the "indexer.sol" contract in our repo.

Additionally, we continue to educate and support builders who are exploring & integrating EAS.

It consists of a semi-transferable token: a token that can only be transferred between a set of contracts belonging to the DAO. Flows of this STT creates a prediction market and results oracle, as well as an outlet for governance.
By insulating HONOR from direct convertibility, we allow for a community to define its own values and relation to outside capital. It therefore is free to search out ways to track and recognize impact over time, a problem faced by DAOs generally and especially in the public goods space.
At the same time we know how impact can become disconnected from fully transferable assets, while soul-bound tokens lack flexibility. HONOR aims for the sweet spot between these extremes, to manifest all that could be meant by honor in our world today.
Impact will be measured both externally with the number of teams who experiment with the protocol and internally with the activity of participants. The whole point of the project is a tool for tracking impact.N/Amichael.wunder@gmail.comhttps://github.com/mwunderhttps://t.me/mwunder$100.00["N/A"]19YesYes

It offers innovative privacy features, benefiting both users and the broader ecosystem by promoting confidentiality and trust in decentralized networksGood question ! We plan to measure the impact of forus , through a combination of key performance indicators and metrics tailored to our privacy-focused objectives. These metrics and examples are critical for tracking and reporting our project's impact in future reports. Here are the main aspects we consider:

1. User Adoption: The number of users on our platform is a fundamental metric. An increase in user adoption demonstrates the growing demand for enhanced privacy in blockchain transactions.

2. Transaction Volume: We track the total transaction volume processed through the Forus platform. Higher transaction volume indicates greater activity and trust in our service.

3. Address Reuse Reduction: One of our core goals is to reduce the reuse of wallet addresses. We measure the decrease in address reuse among our users, which is a strong indicator of our success in enhancing privacy.

4. User Feedback: Gathering feedback from our users is essential. Positive user feedback, satisfaction ratings, and testimonials are invaluable indicators of the project's impact on enhancing privacy and user experience.

5. Third-party Audits and Reviews: We regularly seek independent security audits and reviews of our platform. Positive assessments from reputable third-party organizations serve as a measure of the project's security and privacy effectiveness.

6. Privacy-specific Metrics: We use privacy-specific metrics, such as the reduction in the exposure of wallet addresses and the unlinkability of transactions, to gauge the level of privacy enhancement achieved.

7. Community Engagement: The growth and engagement of our community on social media, forums, and other platforms are monitored closely. A thriving community indicates the project's impact and relevance.

8. Use Cases and Case Studies: We actively highlight specific use cases and case studies where Forus has been utilized to improve privacy. These real-world examples serve as practical evidence of our impact.

9. Partnerships and Integrations: We track the number of integrations and partnerships with other projects or platforms. This demonstrates our impact on the broader blockchain ecosystem.

10. Educational Content: We measure the reach and engagement with our educational resources on privacy and blockchain. Increased knowledge and awareness about privacy are significant indicators of our project's impact.

Despite this critical role, 92% of the market is controlled by 2 companies: Tether and Circle. The Ethereum and Web3 ecosystem needs stablecoin diversity to ensure its stability. Glo Dollar seeks to disrupt this duopoly to bring more balance to the centralized stablecoin market, and is uniquely positioned to do so.

**We need to diversify the centralized stablecoin market for three reasons**:


1. In 2022, Vitalik said that “USDT + USDC could become significant deciders in future contentious hard forks” [0]. If there's another hard fork event in which the ecosystem wants to change something, or resist censorship, then USDC and USDT have the power to prevent this or change the proposal according to their own agenda.

When faced with client diversity challenges, the crypto community has successfully rallied together to collectively reduce market concentration to below 50 percent per client. We've done it before and we need to do it again [1].

2. The dual point of Circle and Tether failure poses a systemic risk. There were several downstream problems after the USDC depeg: FRAX and DAI depegged, and Uniswap and Curve liquidity dried up for many trading pairs [2].

3. Core infrastructure deserves a healthy competitive market. A US regulated, mission-driven alternative keeps the for-profit incumbents sharp, because it can act as a safe haven for users to migrate to when the duopoly becomes greedy or lazy. We’ve seen this with the positive influence that Firefox, a non-profit browser, has had on the overall web browser ecosystem. grown to become the 4th largest browser globally.

**We believe that Glo Dollar is well-positioned to disrupt the current duopoly and realize greater stablecoin diversity**:

1. Other for-profit stablecoins are mere clones of USDC or USDT, lacking differentiation.

2. Glo has an added benefit over incumbents; Glo Dollar users embed philanthropy into their stablecoin holdings and help generate basic incomes for people living in extreme poverty, without making donations.

3. The Glo Foundation has no profit incentives, and as a result, is not incentivized to seek risk. Additionally, it’s easier to rally the crypto ecosystem around Glo’s adoption growth when the fruits of that growth flow through people in extreme poverty rather than enriching shareholders.

4. Transparency is built into the Glo Dollar's design, and our approach is to welcome and seek regulation, not evade or sidestepping it. Our attestations will be published by the end of 2023. We’ll also be publishing our tax returns, and we’ll make all donations to GiveDirectly on-chain.

5. Glo Dollar transfers are ~10-20% cheaper than USDC and USDT transfers [3].

[2] https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/04/02/usdcs-depeg-laid-bare-the-risks-traditional-finance-poses-to-stablecoins/
[3] https://www.glodollar.org/articles/glo-transfers-are-cheaper-than-other-stablecoins
Our long-run expectation is that every $20,000 of Glo Dollar will generate $480 in annual donations to GiveDirectly, which provides monthly basic income payments to one person in extreme poverty. The faster we grow market cap, the quicker we get there, so our core metric right now is Glo Dollar market cap. Since we went live in early August, our market cap has more than doubled; if we’re able to continue that growth rate, we’ll be generating substantial donations to GiveDirectly in the immediate future. (For more, see https://www.glodollar.org/articles/the-numbers.)Since GG18:
1. Glo Dollar's market cap has more than double
2. Glo Dollar has become available on Celo
3. Glo Dollar has become a top 10 token on Uniswap on Celo
4. Glo Dollar smart contracts are deployed to Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon zkEVM and the **Public Goods Network**
5. Launched the Glo Consortium of web3 organizations that support Glo Dollar - https://www.glodollar.org/glo-consortium

Our goal is not just to create a privacy space, but to make data usable while preserving privacy. This becomes possible by integrating with the blockchain, allowing for a switch between Personal Data and Commons Data. In essence, Monas can advance to the next phase of Web3.In the next phase of our project, we will focus on the construction of a Peer to Peer Network. One method to measure the impact of our project is by the number of participants in the network, which serves as a vital metric to assess the network's health and robustness. This figure includes not only active Peers on the Monas platform but also the number of contributors who contribute to the project. The magnitude of the social impact is closely linked to the increase in identified issues, suggested improvements, and proposed solutions.

Moreover, we will track the number of developers creating applications on Monas, as well as the count of applications deployed, as indicators of the ecosystem's growth and prosperity. This approach allows us to demonstrate the project's contribution not only to technological advancement but also to the creation of real societal value.

By regularly collecting this data and measuring it over time, we can comprehensively assess the progress of the project and its social impact. In addition to quantitative data, we will also gather qualitative feedback and community opinions to deepen our understanding of the project's actual impact.

LIMO allows users and dApp developers to effortlessly access and host static sites built with a combination of IPFS/IPNS/Arweave and ENS.Traffic requests to the eth.limo gateway, on average the limo gateway receives 6-7m requests per day.Recently we announced our release of limo-web3-dns which is an experimental domain specific implementation of the DNS protocol for direct resolution of ENS records over DNS.
Limo-web3-dns allows ENS domain holders to be able to manage traditional services such as web hosting and self hosted software with minimal friction. The ultimate goal of limo-web3-dns is to provide trustless auditable cryptographically signed ENS over DNS to bring ENS to parity with DNS. Limo-web3-dns is also CCIP-Read/EIP-3668 enabled allowing users to store content on Optimism/Base or any L2.

Even such basic things as usernames are not safe from web2 overlords, as we’ve seen when Facebook seized the @meta handle from its owner on Instagram without prior notice or compensation (similar happened on Twitter with @x and @music usernames).

A username and the whole digital identity that comes with it are a crucial part of one’s online representation. This is why it is important that this identity is permission-less and truly owned by its holder. Once this foundation is established, we can build many things on top of it, such as Web3 Social platforms or other forms of online interaction.

Our mission is to provide DAOs and other online communities with everything they need to transition from web2 to Web3 Social. From usernames (web3 domains) to plug-and-play web3 social chat apps.

Web3 enables much more than just financial applications, and we aim to help shift the whole space towards a new era of non-financial crypto use cases.
Our software is geared towards DAOs and web3 communities who want to set up Web3 Social tools/apps for their members. We help them transition from web2 social to web3 social. Our main metric is how many DAOs and web3 communities use our solutions. Some examples of our users are PoolTogether DAO, Smol Brains NFT community (part of Treasure DAO), Giveth DAO, Klima DAO, Dope Wars DAO, Flare community, etc.Since the previous round, we’ve established a couple of new partnerships, one with the BasePunk NFT community and the other with the Based DAO, both on the Base blockchain. Each of them now have their own custom domain extension launched via the Punk Domains protocol.

We have also launched two Web3 Social platforms/apps built with Iggy. One for the BasePunk NFT community (for .basepunk username holders), and the other for the Flare community (.flr).

As a major feature in Iggy-based chat apps, we've developed an NFT launchpad that supports the launch of always-liquid NFTs. Each NFT collection comes with a built-in pool, allowing users to buy or sell their NFTs at any time they wish.

Another feature that we’ve added to Iggy-based chats are Activity Points, which help increase engagement through gamification.

Last but not least, we’ve set up blogs on Mirror and Paragraph where you can easily subscribe to our news and updates: https://mirror.xyz/0xFE3D2c97235B76EA2072949E2c25A8C6EF95aE51 & https://paragraph.xyz/@iggy

Check out our [Github repo](https://github.com/commons-stack). Our open-source research on Augmented Bonding Curves and Conviction Voting has been a public good for the Ethereum and web3 community.

By lowering technical barriers and promoting interoperability, the ABC Launch and ABC Swap encourage community-driven innovation and financial inclusivity, making complex financial tools more accessible to a broader range of projects in the wider Ethereum and web3 ecosystem.
Our milestones include:

- Over 20 Aragon DAOs have been formed on Optimism
- Tao Voting can be deployed and used on Aragon OS DAOs
- ABCs can be easily deployed and used on Optimism

A tech-curious person is now able to deploy a Tao Voting DAO and add an Augmented Bonding Curve to it without the need to write any code.

The ABC has been an incredible success in its pilot with the [Token Engineering Commons (TEC)](https://tecommons.org/). The $TEC token price is effectively regulated using the ABC and has had relatively low volatility and [performed about as well as $ETH since its Hatch in 2021](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ipSAI5M1Yo_nWEgfxMfY5n_lGq6SFrog/edit#gid=1569207494), while its ABC has collected $300k via swapping fees for TE Public Goods. This is unheard of for a small market cap DAO which focuses on supporting public goods. The TEC has only given out grants to advance token engineering and even have run its own QF round during Gitcoin’s Beta and GG18 rounds to provide grants for projects primarily focused on education, tooling and research in the token engineering space. We hope to make it easy for more organizations to have access to this groundbreaking innovation in public goods funding on more chains in the future.
- In collaboration with Blossom Labs, we've successfully deployed [Aragon OS on the Optimism network](https://optimism.aragon.blossom.software/#/). This makes the robust and tried-and-tested Aragon OS DAO formation and management tooling available on Optimism for the first time! Read our [guide](https://medium.com/commonsstack/launch-aragon-os-daos-on-optimism-766ef50b02d2) on creating a DAO on Optimism using the Aragon OS.

- We have rolled out the [ABC Launch](https://launch.abcswap.xyz/) and [ABCSwap](https://abcswap.xyz/) MVP. This ABCLaunch dapp enables individuals and projects to create an Aragon DAO and deploy their own Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC). It offers customization options for parameters such as opening price, reserve collateral and entry/exit tributes, empowering projects to create DAO-owned liquidity and unique microeconomies. The ABCSwap facilitates swapping of tokens launched and governed by ABCs.

- We’ve helped establish the [TEC Advisory Network (TECAN)](https://forum.tecommons.org/t/introducing-the-tec-advisory-network-tecan/1293) to help scale the TEC’s network of trusted advisors who can provide strategic advice and subject matter expertise.

- We've collaborated with the TEC on the Token Engineering Stakeholder Study, a comprehensive study of token engineers' roles, challenges, needs, and viewpoints.

This versatile software, incorporating open-source elements, enriches this ecosystem in various ways.

DexAppBuilder simplifies and accelerates the development of decentralized applications (dApps) by providing a no-code/low-code platform. This makes it easier for builders to create dApps, expanding and enriching the ecosystem.

Moreover, by offering no-code/low-code tools, DexAppBuilder makes dApp development more accessible to a broader audience, including non-technical users. This can result in more diverse and innovative dApps in the ecosystem.

Open-source projects often attract contributions and feedback from the wider community. Through open source initiatives, DexAppBuilder also fosters decentralization, inclusivity and innovation. This collaborative approach plays a role in finding solutions to common challenges within the Ethereum and Web3 ecosystem.

By embodying these principles, DexAppBuilder contributes to a more accessible, innovative, and collaborative Ethereum and Web3 ecosystem.
We measure the impact of our project, DexAppBuilder, through the following metrics:

**1. User Adoption:** We closely monitor the growth in the number of users who are leveraging DexAppBuilder to create dApps. A consistent increase in user adoption is a fundamental indicator of our success. As of November 7, 2023, we have achieved a count of 890 unique addresses utilizing our DexAppBuilder platform.

**2. DApp Creation Rate:** It is essential for us to track how many dApps are being created through DexAppBuilder. A higher number of dApps created demonstrates the effective empowerment of our platform. As of November 7, 2023, our platform has facilitated the deployment of 441 dApps.

**3. Open-Source Contributions:** The number of open-source contributions and the growth of our developer community are also indicators that we monitor. These contributions not only enhance our platform but also reflect our dedication to fostering a collaborative environment.

**4. Integration Requests:** The demand for integrating third-party tools and services into dApps developed with DexAppBuilder is another critical metric. A higher number of integration requests signifies that our platform is closely aligned with user needs and industry trends.

By considering these metrics, we gain a comprehensive understanding of DexAppBuilder's impact and its role as a useful tool for dApp development in the Web3 space.
We continued to improve the DexAppBuilder UI based on feedback from current users, and we also integrated Thirdweb contracts and their respective UIs for use by low-code/no-code developers.info@dexkit.comhttps://github.com/Joaocampos89https://t.me/dexkithttps://t.me/https://t.me/jcampos8$300,000.00["Grants","Token Launch"]436YesYes

We propose to achieve this by propagating the modular smart accounts (via EIP 6900 and Safe Core Protocol) which will drive the adoption of account abstraction wallets in the Ethereum ecosystem.

ZenGuard is a proposition to provide a secure and easy way to extend the smart accounts for the existing Safe users and other AA wallet users. This will grow the user experience of both existing and future smart account users.

Vitalik himself is a promoter of multisig wallets and smart accounts. He has spoken about numerous features such as recovery, privacy, cross chain features for wallets. All these can be made a reality for everyone with the help of a seucre module marketpalce such as ZenGuard.
Here are a few Key Performance Indicators to measure the impact of ZenGuard:

- Modules listed at: [https://explore.zenguard.xyz](https://explore.zenguard.xyz/)
- List of auditors and devs on the dashboard
- Onchain audit attestations of the listed modules (Currently on Ethereum attestation service)
- Public announcements through social media, blogs, docs published and demo videos
- Dune analytics of Safe accounts that enabled the listed modules.

- Onboarded Alvaro (@alvarorrbezerra) as Product Manager and Davide (0xdavidesilva) as Developer

- Attended ETH Lisbon, where we gave a talk, and sponsored bounties for people to hack on Iron itself (one successful bounty being finished: https://github.com/iron-wallet/iron/pull/486). Remaining bounties will be moved to OnlyDust
