B Labs produces and provides actionable, customised research, analysis and advisory services on Web3 topics for clients native to or interested in entering and engaging with the space. We also provide a platform to ideate on and develop new ideas, products and services.\n\n\n\n **The Problem**\n\nWeb3 is complex, wild, noisy, innovative, vibrant and constantly evolving. It can be challenging to find just the right, suitable solutions needed. B Labs provides guidance. Typical issues could be: \n\ud83c\udfb2  What problem is the project aiming to solve better than others? \n\ud83c\udfb2 How experienced is the team and how good is the coding?\n\ud83c\udfb2 Why is there so little community engagement?\n\ud83c\udfb2 Unaware of obstacles which start creating blockers while busy building.\n\ud83c\udfb2  Realising a Web3 idea - inception, concept, white paper, necessary steps.\n\ud83c\udfb2 (How) does the tokenomics model work?\n\ud83c\udfb2 What is the right token distribution for a project amongst its stakeholders?\n\ud83c\udfb2 What are the right incentives to attain the desired effect?\n \n\n\n**The Solution**\n\nB Labs addresses these needs by: \n\u2b55 Undertaking a thorough discovery call with the client to fully understand the needs.\n\u2b55 Selecting the suitable Web3 subject matter expert(s) for the request. \n\u2b55 Developing an  individual (research) outline. \n\u2b55 Involving the client, creating ownership and generating feedback along the way. \n \n\n\n**What we have been up to**\n\n\ud83d\ude4b Contributing to the [Bankless Africa Stablecoin Journal](https://banklesspublishing.com/the-rise-of-stablecoins-in-africa/). \n\ud83d\ude4b 45-page breakdown of the TribeDAO ecosystem, including an educational  series. \n\ud83d\ude4b 80-page analysis report for Saddle Finance.\n\ud83d\ude4b A growing B Labs roster of vetted subject matter experts. \n\n\n\n**What we want to do/Funds Usage**\n\nHow are we different? We do not produce standard format content within a pricing plan. Also, B Labs is not a Web3 product project, rather a service entity. This brings with it particular challenges, such as:\n\n\ud83c\udf3c Identifying suitable collaboration between Web2 and Web3\n\ud83c\udf3c Standardising processes and defining and offerings \n\ud83c\udf3c Project calculation and pricing structures\n\ud83c\udf3c Optimising incentive structures\n\ud83c\udf31 Bootstrap efficient means of contributor interaction and cooperation\n\ud83c\udf31 Ensuring quality and time sensitive output in a decentralised environment\n\ud83c\udf31 Effective project management\n\n\n\n**Gitcoin and how we will use the funds**\n\nFunds received will directly support further buidling at B Labs by providing runway for:\n\n\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Buidling and outreach -  to create and optimise process, grow offerings and collaboration.\n\n\ud83e\uddee Data -  Develop and  share research content and datasets.\n\u2699\ufe0f Tooling -  Improve and share on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/blabsresearch) any self-built tools we develop for B Labs. \n\n\u2697\ufe0f Education - Support the decision-making and development within the space.\n\n\ud83c\udf6d Reach - Developing onboarding and training materials  to non-English language environments.\n\n\ud83e\udd1d Collaboration - Finding suitable models from incubation over support to delivery.\n\n\n\n**Additional links/Reach out to us/Collaborate**\n\n\ud83c\udf40 [Linktree](https://linktr.ee/blabsresearch)\n\n\n\ud83c\udf40 [Notion Wiki](https://b-labs-research.notion.site/B-Labs-Research-Wiki-b9671f5b143d42eeb6a8ccf497f8e41a)\n\n\n\n**Additional information**\n\n\ud83d\udcb0 Previous project funding sources (VC, grants, token sales, etc)\nBanklessDAO Grants\n\n\ud83d\udc8e Total prior funding for project in USD\n~7,000.00\n\n\ud83c\udfaa Total team size\n5 (+ subject matter experts)\n\n\ud83e\uddd1\u200d\ud83c\udf7c How old is the project?
