Besides that, I have prepared a plan for using Gitcoin Passport whenever KYC is not required. By doing this, I have directly prioritised the adoption of Gitcoin's products by cities. Through MUQA, we are not only onboarding cities but also their citizens. A single grant round with a city can onboard thousands of new users not only to Gitcoin but also to Ethereum in general, increasing Gitcoin's impact on broader Ethereum ecosystem.\n\nIn my work on DeSci Community, I have perpetuated the community's devotion to Gitcoin, whence it stemmed from. I did this through official communication with the community, contribution to the GG20 proposal, and education on Gitcoin at University of Split in Croatia.\n\n\n### Community First\n\nDuring my Funding the Commons residency in Berlin, I was collaborating with other residents, many of whom were members of Gitcoin community. I have also participated in Schelling Point Sessions in Berlin. \n\nFurthermore, I have submitted a mission request  proposal to Optimism for building Municipal Public Goods Funding Infrastructure, which would directly use Gitcoin products. In this, I have actively participated in forum discussions and raised awarness in Optimism community of Gitcoin's potential value to Optimism.\n\nIn DeSci Community, after Boris Dyakov stepped down, I have, along Manuel Olariu and 3 other volunteers stepped up to lead the community to the next round. In DeSci community, Gitcoin now has a engaged and active extension to the core community. In case of opportunities for Gitcoin in the industry of scientific research funding, this community poses a great foothold.\n\n### Financial Longevity\n\nIn my work on MUQA, I have devised a revenue plan that would make it profitable initiative. As we onboard more cities and citizens, they'll have to change their fiat into crypto to be able to donate. This provides and opportunity to leverage our app and offer the onramp with our fee included. If MUQA is profitable, we can pay the Gitcoin's fee for using Gitcoin's products. \n\nThis is yet to realise, but having a plan is the first step. However, a plan is not the all I have done in this regard. Once I have checked with the city officials of city of Split that this is fine, I have done more business development activities trough which I have gotten more cities and even UNDP interested.\n\n\n### Innovation: Experiment with Gitcoin\u2019s products and build prototypes\nI hope Muqa will become one of projects like Kudos and EasyRetroPGF, funded by Gitcoin's Grants Programs. Partially it was funded so far, and hopefully it will be funded again in future. \n\nMuqa innovates in the app layer because the project has special set of requirements currently not met by Grants stack. Additionally, there is innovation in the design of the grant rounds, which are specific to different functions of the city governments and their grant programs.\n\nI haven't built the prototype though, only done the preliminary research and planning that led to the current understanding of the requirements.\n", "hidden": false, "question": "How did your work directly support the area you selected above? ", "questionId": 3}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "### Muqa\nThe impact of work done so far is:\n1. **First city ever onboarded**\n    Split, Croatia has 150.000 inhabitants and \u20ac200 million annual budget. They agreed to conduct allocate part of their budget using Gitcoin. This took multiple calls and meetings with various city officials.\n2. **3 unique grant programs in preparation**\n    For the first time ever, a grant program for public space interventions, a grant program for urban cultural projects and a grant program for media will be conducted using Gitcoin. This was agreed during the past work. It took several months of research and meetings.\n3. **Nearly $1 million earmarked for allocation**\n    Between space intervention rounds, cultural and media rounds, total amount of city funds that will be allocated near $1 million.\n4. **Custom app requirements specified**\n    Gitcoin Whitepaper 2.0 describes [App Layer](https://assets-global.website-files.com/6433c5d029c6bb75f3f00bd5/65e0af5ebbe822edb14d5b20_mY_VOucs8DS3hKmbzjCAyhyKgCa1HTSOydNldI3xppttx23PBXIm7S6NXxLr3BwW014ANzFQpEEJs69oolVLMVRX63HBGF70NRqCgWbj1zFa9-LHVe-W3dO-8OkBLJC3WfSmFUmdoRK0Br4Sc4GLhIc.png) with empty slots in direction of Gitcoin's extended network. Based on talks with city officials, citizens and potential grantees, I have created a specification for such an app which could be used in the cities and by citizens, and which could be part of the Gitcoin's App layer.\n5. **UNDP and 3 more cities expressed interest**\nIn February I presented Muqa, Gitcoin and Quadratic funding at the UNDP Eurasia's ['Catalyzing Urban Transformation\u2019](https://innovation.eurasia.undp.org/international-forum-on-advancing-urban-development-coming-to-bratislava/) forum in Bratislava. There I participated in a panel on innovative financing models for cities. Following that, I received expression of interest from officials of 3 cities. Besides that, I have started talks about partnership with representatives of UNDP, who work with hunderds of cities and are highly interested in this opportunity.\n\n### DeSci round\nDeSci Ops team raised $35k for the matching pool, with high possibility of raising additional $20k. This would probably make it one of the best funded community rounds in GG20. I have contributed to making this possible but doing various tasks on the Ops team, including assembling the list of voters, setting up stewards elections, communicating with community and potential partners/sponsors, etc..\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Please describe the impact your work has had on Gitcoin and how you measured this.

Over the past 12 years, I've been busy building up projects, NGOs, and businesses in Split, Croatia. My biggest achievements? Starting the [Youth Club Split](https://klubmladihsplit.hr) and [BlockSplit conference](https://blocksplit.net). I also helped get [Split Tech City](https://split-techcity.com) and [Include](https://include.eu) off the ground. My latest endeavor is [Zubar](https://zubar.hr), aimed at fixing problems in the [dental market](https://documentation.denther.com).\n\nIn 2017, I discovered Ethereum and quickly saw its potential. This led me to start local blockchain meetups in Split, which eventually grew into the BlockSplit conference \u2013 now the region's most significant web3 event. I'm passionate about tackling big challenges, especially when I can take the lead. I don't know where the future will take me, but I sure hope to significantly contribute to Ethereum.\n\nFrom August 2023, I have been working on a new project - [Municipal Quadratic Funding Initiative](https://muqa.org) . Implementing quadratic funding in a city. In the first couple of months, my work was funded by Gitcoin trough Funding the Commons, but after that funding ran out, I continued working on the project voluntarily.\n\nBesides MUQA, I have been a member of [Gitcoin DeSci Community Round](https://t.me/gitcoindesci) Operations team. In this role, I have been actively involved in all decision making and work.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "tomislavmamic"}, "recipient": "0x48C9C3B838Ae70A1D1440211cB24fA3bb0594Bd7"}}
