Funding Rounds

We are delighted with the progress of funding rounds this year, particularly from our first quadratic funding round with Creatives DAO to a deeper partnership with NEAR Foundation, and getting to the point where the round organizer can facilitate their rounds, and with mpDAO even use mechanisms outside of quadratic funding. This year dozens of projects were supported through funding rounds ranging from open source infrastructure, education projects, college clubs, AI infra, individual contributors, marketers, and creatives, with over a quarter million in funding dished out.

📋 Operations

🌱 Community Projects

2025 promises unprecedented opportunities in funding innovation. POTLOCK has established itself as NEAR's premier Public Goods platform, evolving into an open, composable funding stack that's both multichain and chain-abstracted—all supercharged with AI. This year, we're doubling down as a protocol: building frameworks, experimenting with consumer apps, developing more funding products, expanding across different chains, and launching our protocol token and revolutionary platform to transform how grants are facilitated (with AI).

  • Integrations & Customization: Protocolization Enable anyone to deploy their own funding stack through templates, voting contracts, boilerplate apps, and v2 contract updates. Enhance contract-based identity with Nadabot v2 upgrades for advanced rules and onboard more on-chain Sybil providers. Focus on integration phase.

  • Agent framework - Funding distribution agents, Eliza for grants (extensive R&D), plus enhanced tooling

  • Funding platform products - Continue to build novel funding use cases across different chains on the POTLOCK open funding stack; i.e., GrantPicks, Campaigns, Commit on Activity, and empower other developers to build the same

  • Chain Abstraction - Upgrade pots to support chain abstraction and CA liquidity layers. Collaborate with other ecosystems.

  • Experimentation - Consumer-facing apps and bull run strategy with Trenches Dev.

As we bid farewell to an extraordinary ingagural year and welcome the next chapter, we at POTLOCK are filled with gratitude for the milestones achieved and the community that made it all possible.

2024 was a year of bold innovations, strategic growth, and unwavering commitment to empowering public goods. From launching our first funding product to building out an entire protocol, expanding to different chains, and implementing groundbreaking features, we've built a more inclusive and sustainable funding ecosystem, setting the stage for an even brighter future.

Looking ahead to 2025, we're excited to continue evolving—bringing new integrations, expanding chain abstraction capabilities, launching $GRANTS, and doubling down on the tools that will shape the next wave of decentralized funding innovation.

Stay tuned, stay inspired, and let's make 2025 a year to remember.

From,

]]> A New Chapter: The Road to Funding AGI Potlock evolves beyond quadratic funding, in process of upgrading Pots and building towards funding AGI with AI-PGF https://subscribe.potlock.org/p/august https://subscribe.potlock.org/p/august Thu, 29 Aug 2024 11:58:29 +0000 2024-08-29T11:58:29Z POTLOCK Plugrel

Potlock Embarks on a New Chapter

Howdy Chefs!

Over the past few months, we've concluded our quadratic funding rounds and are embarking on a new chapter of Potlock's open funding stack. We're evolving from quadratic funding to robust pots that support a wide variety of funding mechanisms, and hyperfocusing our efforts around the mission of Funding AGI. Our goal is to build an end-to-end system that can autonomously allocate capital and grants better than humans. As part of this initiative, we've launched AI-PGF (AI-Public Goods Funding), a program and movement innovating at the intersection of AI, Web3, and public goods funding.
