We also participated in a gitcound round a few months ago and the main application page shows the progress since then\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Have you participated in any Octant epoch (Epoch 0 through Epoch 4) OR a previous Gitcoin Grants round? Please provide details and evidence of your participation.\",\"explanation\":\"Yes, previous gitcoin rounds, see here: https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/musematrix/grants\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Please describe how your project contributes to the growth and development of the Octant ecosystem.\",\"explanation\":\"MuseMatrix Fellowships fit right into Octant's mission to support public goods and collaboration across Web3. Through our six-month fellowships, we're helping to accelerate decentralized science (DeSci) by creating open-source tools for the scientific community. This aligns with Octant’s focus on sustainable, impactful projects.\\n\\nWe empower scientists and developers to build decentralized apps, like the Causality Network, a protocol for authenticating scientific data. By open-sourcing these tools, we ensure they’re accessible to the entire Web3 and Octant ecosystem, sparking further innovation.\\n\\nThis is also useful to Octant as it exposes the ecosystem to DeSci which is a rapidly growing sector of web3 that's highly relevant to public good due to its focus on Open Science\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"How does your project align with the round's focus on community and education within the Octant ecosystem?\",\"explanation\":\"MuseMatrix is all about community and education, which aligns perfectly with Octant's goals. We bring together scientists, developers, and more, offering peer-to-peer learning opportunities. Our sessions break down DeSci and Web3 for newcomers, encouraging cross-disciplinary collaboration.\\nWe also emphasize inclusivity, actively involving underrepresented groups; this fosters a more diverse and impactful Web3 ecosystem, directly contributing to Octant’s commitment to public goods and education.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Provide a clear roadmap of your project, detailing future milestones and deliverables. How does this demonstrate your commitment to long-term impact and growth within the Octant ecosystem?\",\"explanation\":\"Cohort 1\\nPhase 1 (May-June) - Already Finished: Educating 25 fellows on Web3 and DeSci, building a solid foundation.\\nPhase 2 (July - August) - Already Finished: Conducting interviews with scientists and biotech companies to define the scope of our key product, the Causality Network.\\nPhase 3 (August - November)- In progress: Building and launching the Causality Network, a tool for authenticating scientific data. Present at the end of November at a DeSci London meetup\\n\\nCohort 2\\nPhase 1 (August - September):  In progress - We have launched cohorts in LATAM and Africa.\\nPhase 2 (October) - Cohort 2 will choose their idea for a open source project\\nPhase 3 (November-Feb)- Cohort 2 will build out their project and present at a DeSci London monthly meetup\\nEach phase ensures we deliver meaningful products and education, building real-world solutions that benefit the Octant ecosystem and beyond. Our commitment to open-source development ensures that everything we create is accessible to the broader Octant ecosystem. This fosters collaboration, encourages further innovation, and contributes to sustainable, long-term growth by continually adding valuable tools to the Web3 and DeSci landscape. Through these efforts, we’re building an enduring impact that aligns with Octant’s mission of driving public goods and decentralized solutions.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Describe your team's expertise and how it contributes to the successful execution of your project.\",\"explanation\":\"Both of the team members have deep roots in DeSci and Community Building. Bharat has been in the space for over two and a half years and is the founder of the largest in-person DeSci community. Before this, he worked as a medical doctor, a scientist and has experience in web3. Erin has been in the DeSci space for three years. She is a neuroscientist with experience in marketing, tech startups and web3. Erin helped launch 18 science-tech ecosystems, led the DeSci Research Landscape Analysis, and is core team at the largest blockchain ecosystem in the Midwest (conference, monthly workshops, & hackathons)\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"How does your project complement or enhance existing initiatives within the Octant ecosystem rather than competing directly against them?\",\"explanation\":\"Rather than competing, we bridge gaps by creating a platform for scientists unfamiliar with Web3 and developers new to DeSci. This cross-pollination enhances the ecosystem by contributing both practical tools that other initiatives can leverage as well as increasing the talent pool of scientists that are familiar with web3 (and dev familiar with DeSci) that can go on to work or build other projects. \"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Describe your approach to community engagement and how you plan to contribute to a collaborative and constructive funding environment.\",\"explanation\":\"Our approach is all about community collaboration and inclusivity. We bring together scientists and developers who are often new to Web3, creating a platform for peer-to-peer learning. Fellows share ideas and skills, working closely through syncs and working groups to develop real-world projects. Our fellowship is designed to build a global community of scientists, developers, and innovators who share the common goal of advancing decentralized science.\\nEverything we do is open-source, so anyone can build on the tools we create, and we prioritize transparency by sharing updates and discussions on platforms like GitHub. By encouraging cross-disciplinary engagement, we’re breaking down barriers between scientists and Web3 developers, building a more connected and constructive funding environment.\\nThrough these methods, we are actively creating a constructive funding environment where ideas are openly shared, and progress is driven by the contributions of a global community.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"How do you plan to use the funding to maximize your project's ongoing impact within the Octant ecosystem if selected?\",\"explanation\":\"If selected for funding, we’ll use the resources to scale and maximize the impact of MuseMatrix within the Octant ecosystem by focusing on three key areas:\\n\\nSupporting Fellows: The funding will enable us to provide more financial and educational support to our fellows, allowing them to dedicate more time to building decentralized science tools. This will help push out more high-quality, open-source projects like the Causality Network, driving innovation in DeSci and Web3.\\n\\nExpanding Cohorts: We plan to grow MuseMatrix into new regions, including running more cohorts in LATAM and Africa, broadening the diversity of our participants. This will foster global collaboration and bring fresh perspectives into the Octant ecosystem, enriching the Web3 space with new ideas and solutions.\\n\\nSustainability and Long-Term Impact: By securing this funding, we can enhance our operational capacity, ensuring the fellowship program remains sustainable and continues producing valuable tools and research that benefit not only DeSci but the broader Octant and Web3 ecosystems.\\n\\nIf selected for funding, we’ll focus on three key areas to scale MuseMatrix's impact:\\n\\nSupporting Fellows: Funding will help provide more financial and educational resources, enabling fellows to dedicate more time to building open-source DeSci tools.\\n\\nExpanding Cohorts: We'll run further cohorts in regions like LATAM and Africa, fostering global collaboration and diversity within the Octant ecosystem.\\n\\nSustainability: The funding will enhance our operations, ensuring the program remains sustainable and continues producing valuable tools for both DeSci and the wider Octant and Web3 ecosystems.\\n\\nThis will help us reach more communities, build better products, and support Octant’s mission of innovation and collaboration.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"What unique educational content or resources have you created for the Octant ecosystem? How has the community received these? Please share any relevant links\",\"explanation\":\"We have held weekly Twitter spaces over the last few months which attract a large and diverse audience. Feedback for these has been super positive. Please see: https://x.com/DeSciMic\"}],\"type\":\"grant-details\"}"}}]
