The current lack of standardization in publishing milestones and progress updates hinders project tracking, accountability, visibility and reputation building. Our solution involves on-chain reporting, comprehensive data storage, enhanced reputation building, and enables the development of novel applications. This protocol will provide easy access, a common interface, and valuable insights for various grant programs.\n\nProblem\nGrant programs in the crypto ecosystem lack a standardized method for grantees to publish progress updates and milestones, leading to several issues:\n\nLimited Accessibility: Currently, it is challenging for grant teams and the community to easily access and track project progress and milestones, as information is scattered across forums and external links.\n\nReputation Portability: Grantees who apply for grants from multiple organizations struggle to establish and carry their reputation consistently across the ecosystem. This is particularly difficult for individuals who are new to the ecosystem and need opportunities to showcase their work and build their reputation.\n\nInadequate Data Structure: The absence of structured data that can be accessed in a permissionless manner hampers the development of applications and analytical tools for evaluating grant impact and builder reputation.\n\nSolution\nTo address the aforementioned problems, we propose the implementation of a Grantee Accountability Protocol where grant teams can post information about the grant and grantees can post milestones and progress updates onchain. This solves a number of problems explained below\n\nOnchain Reporting: Grantees will utilize the protocol to self-report their progress and milestones directly on the blockchain through EAS (Ethereum Attestation Service). Leveraging the existing support for EAS schemas, we will define schemas tailored to various reporting needs.\n\nUniversal data access: By storing all grant-related data onchain, we eliminate the need for manual searching and external links. We will build an interface for grantees and grant teams to interact with the protocol. Communities are not obligated to use this interface but are welcome to build their own interface to present this information in interesting ways.\n\nEnhanced Reputation Building: Our protocol will enable the linking of team member profiles to specific projects. This feature empowers team members to build and showcase their reputation for their contributions. Additionally, this reputation can be carried over to other DAOs, opening opportunities for involvement in various areas of DAO governance or similar initiatives.\n\nGrant Farming: It is well known in the ecosystem that there are teams who simply try to get grants and either don\u2019t fully execute or do it with no goal of making the project a success. Having better visibility can help community and grant admins evaluate teams before issuing grants.\n\nFacilitating Novel Applications: With comprehensive on-chain data available, the protocol encourages the development of innovative applications. Few applications we can think of that can be built on top of this protocol are:\n\nGrantee reputation systems\nProject impact analysis tools\nSignaling for future grants\nAuto monitor milestones and progress updates and alert the community\nEndorsing teams and team members working on projects\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Please describe your dApp or App, focusing on its innovative utility or service within the ecosystem.
