This initiative combines bonding curves with quadratic funding to create a more efficient and sustainable way to fund Web3 projects  It enhances community participation and ensures sustainable funding for projects that receive broad support. The Quadratic Accelerator allows projects to leverage grants to kickstart sustainable token economies without needing significant initial capital. It also incentivizes ecosystem builders to hold onto grant tokens, fostering a more aligned and resilient ecosystem.\n", "hidden": true, "question": "Describe your previous work or plans related to the Web3 grants ecosystem.", "questionId": 1}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Our project creates value for the Web3 grants ecosystem by addressing three critical challenges:\n\nProblems We Solve:\n1. Token Dumping: A common issue with grant programs is that projects often sell off their grant tokens for immediate cash, undermining the program's mission to attract and retain value within the ecosystem. This practice contradicts the goal of strengthening the ecosystem through the use of native tokens.\n\n2. Tokenization Barriers: Small projects struggle to tokenize without significant initial funding or liquidity.\n\n3. Lack of Sustainable Revenue: Most projects applying for grants lack a clear path to sustainable revenue.\n\n\nHow We Solve These Problems:\n\n1. Use Grant Tokens as Collateral: Instead of dumping the grant tokens, projects can use them as collateral to kickstart their Primary Issuance Market (PIM), enabling immediate tokenization.\n\n2. Immediate Revenue Streams: PIMs enable projects to generate revenue from token activities from day one, creating a sustainable financial model. Unlike traditional setups where token activities primarily benefit third parties like exchanges and market makers, PIMs allow projects to capture the value generated by their own tokens.\n\n3. Incentivizing Ecosystem Builders: This approach gives base layer tokens, like L2 tokens, a new utility as they now can act as an index of the value created within their respective ecosystem\n\nThis creates a more resilient and sustainable Web3 grants ecosystem.\n", "hidden": true, "question": "How does your project create value for the Web3 grants ecosystem?", "questionId": 2}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Our Co-Founder\u2019s Expertise: \n\nAlp Ergin (CEO): Alp began his journey in Web3 by building a Web2.5 solution using the IBM Trust Chain for supply chain management.

Inverter Protocol\n\nInverter Protocol v.1 is a modular infrastructure ensuring extendability and upgradability. It allows dynamic operability of embedded business logic and token economies via customizable admin panels, offering a comprehensive back-office solution.\n\nCustomizable Admin Panel: Provides an interface for streamlined, no-code configuration, deployment, and operation of token economies using Inverter workflows and out-of-the-box integrated solutions.\n\nDrag & Drop Functionalities: Enables drag-and-drop smart contract functionalities such as staking, streaming, KYC/AML services, and oracle services without additional manual development.\n\nModule Registry: An on-chain registry of reusable, upgradable, and interoperable modules that can be assembled into custom workflows and integrated or removed without affecting the system's overall integrity.\n\nAudited with a Security Standard: Ensures high-security standards through extensive testing and security reviews by established auditing partners.\n\n2. Primary Issuance Markets (PIMs)\n\nInverter introduced PIM technology to enable projects to deploy token economies with conditional issuance and extendible utility management. PIMs facilitate dynamic token issuance with programmable distribution, capturing value from token economies perpetually.\n\nDynamic Token Issuance and Pricing: Utilizes algorithmic pricing for minting and redeeming tokens, allowing projects to dynamically adjust token supply based on market conditions and project needs.\n\nMarket Value Capture: Enables projects to profit from their tokens' trading volumes and volatility, capturing value from token activity that previously benefited only external parties like third-party market makers and exchanges.\n\nSustained Treasury Growth and Stability: Proceeds from token issuance contribute to increasing project reserves, establishing a price floor, growing the treasury, and supporting long-term development without dumping on the community.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "InverterNetwork", "projectTwitter": "inverternetwork"}, "recipient": "0x8Bc82aa112d6f0Bc666146dF3Ee97CaA98dc1a4F"}}
