Progress Pool
Rewarding those who keep building.
About
The problem it solves Most hackathon projects die. Progress Pool is a new funding mechanism that rewards those pursuing their projects beyond the hackathon weekend. Example: - Organizers allocate a percentage of hackathon bounties (e.g., 10%) to a future pool - After 90 days, participants submit proposals demonstrating project progress - Evidence includes GitHub commits, Twitter marketing, etc. - 30-day community voting period with tokens for all participants (hackers, speakers, organizers, sponsors) - Approved proposals receive an equal percentage of the future pool - Applicable beyond hackathons: grant programs, startup accelerators, open-source funding We talked to the Cohera team, who also hack here at ETHPrague, and we got an idea to integreate our protocols to promote sustainable funding and development. |https://devfolio.co/projects/cohere-83ac
How it's made
Challenges we ran into Deployment on some chains was buggy at times. Hosting on NEAR BOS was a new experience and we needed to adjust our normal workflow quite a lot.
