Impact Garden Protocol expects that this experiment will serve to explore what type of contributions and artifacts have been valuable to whom and most importantly in which context. This experiment explores the avenues in which qualitative data can serve to inform new systems and the improvement of existing ones over time. \n\nAdditionally, once this data is available, funders and project owners will be able to understand if the current incentives they are pushing for with their funding programs are leading to the results they were interested in.  \n\nWhat this looks like:\n- Developers attesting to the benefit of using a particular library to launch their app on Base. \n- New-comers to the ecosystem attesting to the usefulness of a Bootcamp or educational course to get started in the Optimism Collective. \n- New delegates attesting to the value of 1:1 sessions with seasoned Delegates to onboard them into Arbitrum's Governance. \n\nIn mid-May we launched our first outreach test on Farcaster protocol for the following reasons: \n1) Improve the UX of Attestations by enabling this process through a Frame\n2) Incentivize the process by subsidizing issuance to a select group of members in the Farcaster protocol to avoid sybil attacks\n3) Leverage the Farcaster Social Graph to increase the signal provided by these attestations. \n\nThis project was selected to be 1 of 15 projects participating in the EAS Launchpad Cohort 1, out of 155 applicants. \n\nFunding received will be used to cover the technical and operational costs of this project as we continue to make the required changes to launch the MVP in early August and kick start data collection.\n\nAdditional improvements we look to introduce to the MVP in the long-term are:\n- Based on the experimentation with the social graph; we want to increase the number of people for whom the issuing of attestations is subsidized. \n- Explore having projects subsidize the attestations of their own artifacts. \n- Enable multi-ecosystem attesting.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Metrics-Garden-Labs", "projectTwitter": "0xynamu"}, "recipient": "0xc66032eE19Bb3FCD564F518bAC30db52038324ef"}}
