It allows to train empathy, stay connected and have fun while doing really useful and important stuff - the governance.\n\n## Idea in nutshell is _very_ simple:\nYou play a tournament with friends for N rounds. Each round - propose one proposal and vote on proposals revealed from previous round. \nEnd of round results are revealed showing who proposed what and who voted for whom. \nAt the end of N rounds, highest scoring winner gets next-level token that allows him to play higher-ranking games. \n \n\n\n## Problems to resolve: \n\nIn order for Decentralized governance become a word standard for managing any organization we must prove ability of DAOs to perform better, and be more effective than any traditional organization. \n\nWhile in theory we get redundancy, the DAOs today are pretty much only a name. \n\nThere is no true autonomy, nor a decentralization. \nProjects trend to become centralized around decision makers and security councils. \n\nMoreover the participation rates of DAOs extremely low, causing lowering quoru thresholds, security concerns and generally low engagement. \n\n\nWe begin with simple challenges like \"propose a music\" but same method can be applied to speed up code development by running \"propose best code to resolve issue\" \n\n## Rankify focuses on a protocol that addresses these issues by making:\n\n### 1. Voting less hard and more fun:\n\nHow often people lay their hands down because voting or governance is just too complicated and is out from their competence field? \nWith rankify that's not a problem anymore: you participate in your competence fields and have a continuous opportunity to test out ideas, or even make fun, and adjust your strategy by having real feedback. \n\n### 2. Semi-anonymous proposal-voting cycles:\n\nRankify allows to focus on **ideas** rather than **personalities**.\nWhenever proposal happens, we provide great UX to community by saying \n\"Alice just sent her proposal\" or \"Bob just voted\" but we don't reveal personalities behind until the round end. \n\n\n### 3. Giving a potential for \"govern to earn\":\n\nFinancial mechanics that allow tokenizing ones ability to propose and vote are further to be researched.\n\n \n### 4. Orthogonal plane to financial power:\n\nThanks to the protocol it now can be based on their competences and abilities to be **empathic** and represent their community, rather than pure ability to aggregate financial power. \n\n\n\nFor more details please read our whitepaper in \nhttps://rankify.it/research/paper\n\n\n\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Please describe your dApp or App, focusing on its innovative utility or service within the ecosystem.

as asset representing competences.\n\nRight now this project has few ideological and spiritual inspirations, however the implementation is done solely by one developer, who devoted the last 2 years of his life to bring up the concept and build initial prototyping as an attempt to build \"technology for peace\".\n\nTo further grow, the project must start a growing community and perform more formal research on the core concept.\n\nThe application for funding hence is for following causes:\n\n- Write more user-friendly onboarding materials\n\n- Finish MVP on testnet roadmap item\n\n- Build a community & launch first community servers to host games\n\n- Establish on-chain governance\n\n- Facilitate research on Continuous Voting-Proposing in more formal manner, with looking in to game theory and social sciences\n\n- integrate with chat messengers to make game experience as much similar to origin version as possible\n\nRoadmap as is today available at https://www.rankify.it/development/roadmap/\n\nAbout creator:\n\nTim Pechersky, @ Peersky\n\nResearcher and visionary for the world as a better place for everyone.\n\nI believe that rapid evolution of governance systems based on competitive and collaborative advantages is a key requirement for our civilization's sustainability .\n\nYou can read more about me at https://peersky.xyz\n\nAnd more about project backstory at https://www.rankify.it/about/story/\n\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "rankify-it", "projectTwitter": "rankify_it"}, "recipient": "0x8F29e5660d967c9e7308BE3697b9C7D5Ebd853aE"}}
