These entry barriers are becoming less and less difficult to overcome, but there is still a long way to go, starting with the language itself. This is the reason why Mycelia is willing to sponsor Indigenous Projects that want to have access to Web3/QF/Gitcoin, but don\u2019t have the knowledge AND/OR the trust to do so.\u00a0Indeed, trust with technology is sometimes quite a sensitive issue for Indigenous Peoples, who have encountered tragic histories with exterrnal influences.\n\n\u27a1\ufe0f **[More info here on our Sponsoring Model](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pmrZ19-KRZsbY-m5MboKeLFUc7e-CwYiNzU2XuqiquI/edit?usp=sharing)**\n\nMycelia wants to build trust between the two ecosystems by supporting IPGs to apply to Web3 Grant, starting with Gitcoin. This includes translation, Web3 wallet creation and support, communication/marketing (Twitter Space), web3 education subsidy and so on. This process is quite time-consuming, and we have no guarantee we will succeed to qualify the IPGs we sponsored, and this is the reason why we want in midterms run a dedicated grant only for Indigenous projects.\u00a0\n\n# Create an ecosystem for IPGs\n\nThe difficulty to on-board Indigenous projects in Web3 is one of the reasons we want to test in the future a Grant program with [Grant Stack](https://www.gitcoin.co/grants-stack)/[Allo Protocol](https://allo.gitcoin.co/) that enable a more friendly and inclusive on-boarding system for IPGs, while directing the attention of the Web3 community towards the importance of having cross-cultural solutions inclusive to them.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sMO_HtgT6qlbdW4V7sKKmKuPFJWs08-NrjmTVDOySL6JZy3m1KgS8vcPNIqscMQdPm2Lp2fQWQPNnBoS61McU6K1wND4Q66sR3kSudCg9uIOLO7DP6x196zrZiepDYImhQvr52xYs2yMIpFYRoVfPRU)\n\n\u27a1\ufe0f **[Our full Mycelia IPGs Deck here](https://slides.com/myceliauni/deck/fullscreen)**\n# R&D on Indigenous Cyberspace (\ud83c\udff9, \ud83e\udd16)\n\n[**Mycelia GG17**](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/round/1/0x421510312c40486965767be5ea603aa8a5707983/0x421510312c40486965767be5ea603aa8a5707983-77) was mainly focused on R&D. At this time we wrote a long article on Substack *[about the importance of having a new type of Indigenous Institutions (DIOs) connected to Web3](https://open.substack.com/pub/myceliauni/p/decentralised-indigenous-organisations-17e?r=27g4uc&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web)*. The objective of this R&D is to explore the possibilities of having an independent Indigenous Cyberspace, not territorially bound to a traditional jurisdiction, with concepts such as *CoordiNation/network-states, DIOs, Digital Jurisdiction, and Digital Indigenous Economic Zone*. By now co-creating an ecosystem, we will have greater capacity for research and experimentation in this field.\u00a0\n\nIndigenous Cyberspace is a fascinating field to explore in the light of Web3 and expands our imagination on our collective stories where Indigenous wisdom could become the core of our social, ecological and economic layers.\u00a0\n\n# Use of Fund GG18\n\n**6k will support our basic work of the next quarter** :\n- Sponsoring/Assisting IPGs to apply on Gitcoin and Giveth Round;\n- Working on the organisation to on-board IPGs on Web3 (wallet creation, requirements, cultural translation, education videos and so on);\u00a0\n- Looking for sponsors and funding mechanism to work on a Grant Program focus on IPGs;\u00a0\n- Developing the idea of IPGs as a fundamental primitives of the existing Public Good Market, and why it matters to fund them;\n- Funding the current R&D of Dr Avelin Kambiw\u00e1 and go deeper on the field of Indigenous Cyberspace. \n\n**10k will help us to develop our ecosystem:**\u00a0\n- Compensate peoples that help us to connect IPGs to Gitcoin and other QF platforms like Giveth;\u00a0\n- Create a website for Mycelia : mycelia.xyz;\n- Subsidize Web3 education program in order to gradually bring more autonomy to Indigenous partners.\u00a0\n\n**20k will help us to create more community engagement around the ecosystem:**\u00a0\n- Looking for a community manager;\n- Exploring Indigenous NFT projects to fund Mycelia ecosystem and future grant on IPGs;\n\n**All funding over 20k will be pooled to bootstrap an Indigenous Grant Program on Allo Protocol.
