Just supply the funds and allocation talent.  No need to set up a new multisig, create application forms, publish funding decisions, store contact info, etc.  Grant Ships handles all of it and more.  Onchain. Transparent. Decentralized.\n\nGrant Ships advances governance and decision making within grants programs by providing clear roles and accountabilities for grant allocators, projects and program facilitators. The app facilitates the interactions between these roles, enforcing processes and rules that would normally require bureaucracy to manage.  This lets users rely on the supremely reliable structure provided by Grant Ships, without any guess work. \n\nAll transactions are recorded onchain, with a growing reputation and history feature set being added as Grant Ships grows.  Grant allocators and recipients will have a proven history of grant fulfillment onchain and visible, just by using the platform to get grants.

We wanted to provide an alternative to the \"centralized grants council\" pattern.\n\nWe wanted to emphasize a pluralistic approach and avoid centralization of power. Grant Ships unbundles the functions of a traditional, centralized grants-giving committee and distributes power and responsibility among 3 groups: Grant Ships, Game Facilitators, and the Voting Community.\n\nTogether, these 3 groups have all the power and responsibility of a grants council but ensure a broader representation of perspectives and mitigate the risk of undue influence. However, because many of the relevant permissions and processes are explicitly defined, we offload the governance overhead that a grant-giving organization would normally be responsible for designing.\n\nGrant Ships are free to focus on transparently allocating funds. Facilitators make sure the rules are being followed. Members of Arbitrum DAO need only focus on voting on their favorite Grant Ships and checking power where needed.\n\nIn essence, we aim to get the best of both worlds.

It is instantly populated with the Ship's templated message.\nProject sees the beacon on their page and can navigate to it.\nAlternatively, a project can send a beacon to a Ship.\nThis will also create a Grant Page, as before it will be populated with the Ship's template message on how to start the grant process.\n\n1.2.4)  Grants Flow Improvement\nFull page and layout where we can view Grants, milestones, the discussion, approvals, and rejections, in a timeline.\nGrant Application becomes a first-class page within the app\nUse postUpdate contract event to allow for free-form grant collaboration content within the Grant timeline\n1.3) Indexer Upgrade\nDuring the development of Grant Ships, we happened upon Envio, a tool that makes indexing the chain far easier and faster than the subgraph. \nSwap out The Graph integrations for Envio integrations\nMilestone 2 (4 Weeks)\n2.1) Content Management\n2.1.1) Improved Navigation\nAdd intuitive linking between pages and entities to improve user navigation flow.\nActions that occur in the feed should link to the content on the Grants page\nUpdates that are created as a result of a grant are also displayed on the respective ship and project pages\n2.2) Historical Record System \n\n2.2.1) Tagging and Filtering\nAllow updates to be supplied with tags for easier retrieval, add filter and sorting features.\nTags\nAdd tags to a project (ex. RPG, tooling, MMO)\nFeatures for facilitators to moderate tags\nNavigation\nFilter: projects by tags\nFilter: the event feed by action type\nFilter: by project name\nFilter: by author\nSort: Allow results to be sorted by date\nUnique links: Each event will have its own unique URL.\n2.3) Dual Token Voting\nAllow voting weighted 50% DAO vote (delegated ARB), 50% community votes (SBT)\n\nGame Facilitator can initiate a vote at 50/50 ratio (currently requires manual processes by devs)\nInterface to represent and explain user\u2019s token distribution\nVoting interface improvements\n\nMilestone 3 (4 weeks)\n3.1) Notifications \nWe will add a mechanism for participants to receive a notification on their phone when key events occur in the application.\nImplement push notifications using a custom PWA app and/or Push Protocol\n\n\n3.2)Gitcoin/Allo Interop \nPending an Allo-originating standard for protocol migration, add the ability to access Grant Ships using your existing Gitcoin and Allo profiles.\nWrite a spec or AIP (Allo Improvement Proposal) to align profile metadata across Allo platforms. \nAdd ability to migrate existing Gitcoin and Allo profiles OR\nCopy existing external Allo profile into Grant Ships if creating a Allo-metadata standard is not possible\n3.3) DevOps - Deploys & Systems\nRefine deploy systems and server administration in anticipation of multiple instances of Grant Ships running concurrently\n3.4) In-app Stats/Info Tab or Page\nDisplay crucial information pertaining to the Game Round\nDisplay past round and vote amounts\nExplain how the system works \n\n\n\n\n\nMilestone 4 (4 weeks)\n4.1) Recurring Round process w/Votes\nWe currently have an \"airgap\" between grants rounds where the voting information has to manually be entered into the following round's parameters to incorporate voter signal.\nUse the Stem Protocol execution module to signal and automatically trigger the creation of the upcoming game round.\n4.2) Dashboard Rework\nOperators and Facilitators have dashboard interfaces. We will simplify and refine UX on these dashboards, integrating new features where necessary amd create a dashboard for projects.\nCreate Project Dashboard\nUpdate Ship Operator Dashboard\nUpdate Game Facilitator Dashboard\n4.3) Game Manager Contract Rewrite\nGame Manager contract is responsible for initiating the round and deploying funds to the ships. This rewrite will decouple the game from Allo at the top level and allow users to host concurrent games on the same network. \nCreate new Game Manager contract and integrate with the app\n4.4) Write new Factory contracts\nTry to combine Stem vote factory, Game Manager factory and Grant Ship Factory into one contract. \nIntegrate contract with new indexer. \nThe goal is to deploy a round of Grant Ships with few transactions, Ideally 1.\n4.5) Deployment Interface\nCreate an interface that allows a round of Grant Ships to be deployed.\nAim for one-transaction deployment. \nVisualize all current and past rounds of Grant Ships, their status with links to round\n", "hidden": true, "question": "How long will it take after funding is received to deliver value?
