Aragon Nest Proposal: Apiary app – Responsible Crowdfunding through the Curation Market #78

Closed MaxSemenchuk closed 4 years ago

MaxSemenchuk commented 6 years ago

Abstract

Apiary is a platform for emergent organization built on Aragon. Contributors stake tokens into organizations on the Apiary platform using a bonding curve. Funds held in the bonding curve's reserve pool are released over time into a discretionary pool that the Aragon DAO can use to reward contributors. Splitting funds into reserve and discretionary pools provides smart-contract enforced accountability between project contributors and patrons throughout the lifecycle of a project while simultaneously ensuring sufficient liquidity to support the emergence of a long-tail of micro-organizations.

More details:

Deliverables

Aragon app(s) deployed on the testnet and published to the APM, with the interface to the stakeholders

Grant size

Funding: Up to $100k in ETH, split into chunks paid out over achieved deliverables.
Success reward: Up to $50k in ANT, given out when all deliverables are ready.

Development timeline

The development timeline will be the following one in regards to each deliverable:

Release Estimated time Features
0.1 1 month Crowdfunding app to create fundraising campaigns through the voting process
0.2 1 month Tap mechanics + Instant Liquidation
0.3 1 month Market Maker + Bonding Curve mechanics
0.4 1 month Advanced terms of crowdfunding
0.5 1 month Curation market mechanics
1.0 2-3 months Bug Bounty campaign / auditing and polishing

Development Approach

Agile & Scrum with 2 weeks sprints. Each sprint will finish with the publicly available demo or report. The releases would undergo some kind of security audit with an open bounty campaign in the end for the app on the testnet.

Hi @MaxSemenchuk thank you for submitting your proposal. This approach to decentralized funding is something we would love to see built on Aragon. Thus, we have decided to approved your proposal.

The second part of the application is the request for funding. Here is a guide to submit such request. In this part of the application we review the PoC/whitepaper, roadmap, deliverables and team in detail. We also determine if the funds requested make sense and take the final decision on whether to move forward and fund the project. We look forward to reviewing the second part of the application :)

Closing as this no longer needs attention from the NestWG.
