A key innovation has been the development of the Tunable Quadratic Funding (TQF) mechanism, enhancing traditional Quadratic Funding by incorporating on-chain donor signals. Recently, TEC completed a Quadratic Funding round on Gitcoin Grants 21, focusing on projects that boost token engineering adoption and impact in the Superchain.\n\nLooking ahead, TEC is engaged in an ongoing experiment from August to December 2024, with a total funding pool of $100,000 - half provided by TEC and half matched by Gitcoin. This experiment consists of two rounds: the completed Quadratic Funding round and an upcoming Retroactive Funding round slated for Q1 2025. The latter will utilize Gitcoin's EasyRetro on Allo Protocol and is exclusive to recipients from the August QF round. Awards will be based on progress against plans from Round 1 applications, with two key milestones in early September and late October. A panel of badgeholders with expertise in token engineering and Superchain governance will determine the awards.\n\nThroughout this period, TEC is committed to educational initiatives, organizing events and communications to elucidate token engineering concepts and showcase grantees' work to Superchain stakeholders. The immediate next steps involve announcing details of the retroactive funding round to QF round participants, continuing educational efforts within the Superchain community, and preparing for the November retroactive funding round. This comprehensive approach underscores TEC's dedication to advancing token engineering, particularly within the Superchain ecosystem, through innovative funding mechanisms and robust educational programs.\n", "hidden": true, "question": "Please tell us about your project.

We're focusing on several key areas to build upon and contribute to within the Gardens v2 ecosystem:\n\nCommunity Onboarding: We're actively working to onboard our existing community and grantees onto our Gardens v2 platform. This initiative not only strengthens our internal ecosystem but also contributes to the growth of the broader Gardens v2 community. By bringing our established network into the Gardens v2 fold, we're expanding the platform's user base and demonstrating its versatility for different community structures.\n\nGovernance Integration: We plan to utilize Gardens v2 primarily for signaling in certain governance decisions and invite new sub-communities to join the TEC Ecosystem. This integration will showcase how established communities can leverage Gardens v2 to channel their decision-making processes to those who are best suited to make those decisions. \n\nCross-Garden Collaboration: We have plans to initiate collaborative  experiments with other Gardens within the ecosystem. These experiments will explore how different ecosystems can interact within the governance of others to demonstrate the potential for synergies within the Gardens v2 platform. We're currently outlining proposals for joint initiatives that could serve as case studies for cross-Garden cooperation.\n\nDocumentation: To support the growth of the Gardens v2 ecosystem, we're developing comprehensive guides about our transition to and use of the platform. These resources can help onboard new communities and educate existing ones about the benefits and best practices of Gardens v2. \nGovernance Innovation: Based on our community's needs and experiences, we aim to develop and propose new governance mechanisms and provide feedback to the Gardens v2 system. This commitment to innovation will contribute to the ongoing evolution of the platform, potentially introducing features that benefit the entire Gardens v2 ecosystem.\n\nBy focusing on these areas, we're not just adopting Gardens v2 for our own use, but actively contributing to its growth, refinement, and broader adoption. Our goal is to serve as a model for how established communities can successfully integrate with and enhance the Gardens v2 ecosystem, driving its development and demonstrating its value for decentralized governance and community management.\n", "hidden": true, "question": "How does your project focus on building on, integrating with, or supporting the Gardens v2 ecosystem?

The TEC Community Covenant can be found in the provided document, which outlines the organization's principles, goals, and operational framework. This covenant serves as a foundational document that guides the community's behavior and decision-making processes.  The covenant reflects TEC's shared purpose and values in several key ways. It clearly states TEC's purpose as \"advancing the field of token engineering\" and supporting \"the creation of ethical, safe, resilient and diverse economic systems to benefit societies around the world.\" This aligns with TEC's overall mission and vision for the token engineering ecosystem. The covenant emphasizes a commitment to self-governance based on Elinor Ostrom's principles for governing the commons, reflecting TEC's value of community-driven decision-making and decentralized governance. It outlines key values such as integrity, curiosity, constructive inquiry, consistency, presence, and gratitude, while promoting being \"radically open source, non-hierarchical, transparent in their intentions and accountable for their actions.\"  The document includes a pledge for creating a harassment-free and inclusive environment, demonstrating TEC's commitment to diversity and respect within the community. It references a polycentric governance framework, highlighting the importance of cultural, financial, and technical decisions in the community's operations. The covenant also emphasizes the importance of accountability for funded projects and overall transparency in community operations, aligning with TEC's values of responsible resource management and open communication. Additionally, it outlines mechanisms for enforcing community standards and protecting the DAO from potential threats, reflecting TEC's commitment to maintaining the integrity and security of the commons.  This comprehensive covenant demonstrates how TEC has codified its shared purpose and values into a guiding document for the community.

It brings engineering discipline to the design, verification, and optimization of these complex new forms of economic coordination. \n\nWhen you support token engineering, you\u2019re helping to build an important new form of public goods. Civil engineering exists so people can feel safe crossing a bridge at rush hour without having to read its blueprints. Token engineering serves a similar role for complex crypto-economic systems. It builds an engineering-backed assurance layer that enables us trust that these systems are safe and that they will do what they say they do. This newly emerging discipline is critical to fostering the public trust needed for widespread adoption of Web3 technologies. \n\n\nSince the opening of its bonding curve in January 2021, the Token Engineering Commons (TEC) has granted some $600,000 to token engineering projects. In addition to our own direct grant making, the TEC has run numerous Gitcoin grant rounds, including as a featured Community Round. Through these efforts, the TEC has funded the development of the [Token Engineering Academy\u2019s](http://tokenengineering.net/) free Token Engineering [Fundamentals](http://tokenengineering.net/explore/) course and its research into tooling for AI-powered token engineering. It has also provided critical funding to the [Inverter Network\u2019s](http://www.inverter.network/) open library of programmable workflows, the [Bonding Curve Research Group](http://medium.com/bonding-curve-research-group), and [CadCAD](http://cadcad.org) simulation tooling, among many other projects.\n\nThe Token Engineering Commons (TEC) has made significant contributions to the Web3 grants ecosystem through the development and implementation of innovative funding mechanisms and grant allocation strategies. One of our key achievements is the creation of the [Tunable Quadratic Funding (TQF) mechanism](http://medium.com/token-engineering-commons/expertise-and-quadratic-funding-bd4f0c5c3e23), which enhances traditional Quadratic Funding by incorporating on-chain signals from donors. This funding method allows grant round operators to amplify the voting signal of donors that exhibit particular attributes valued by their community. Examples include Subject Matter Expertise (SME), token holding, attestations of community contributions, and reputation (e.g. delegates and badgeholders). Many of these TQF signals also contribute to improving sybil resistance and overall allocation effectiveness. \n\nPlease join us in supporting this critical new public goods infrastructure for ushering in a new era of human coordination!", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "CommonsBuild", "projectTwitter": "tecmns"}, "recipient": "0x3e0aeCf4fe7B71bf9f7CAcE2D456698D0082288A"}}
