Hello, we would appreciate feedback on the current submission before finalizing - thanks in advance
hey @realChainLife quick note that I had changed the submission to Final (from Draft) in case it's missed
Hi @Jameel139, thank you for the proposal! We are currently reviewing this project and will be in touch with any questions.
Hey @Jameel139 , thanks for the grant proposal!
I really like the idea. Here's some feedback/questions:
I recommend splitting off the 4th milestone and reserving that scope of work for a future grant proposal.
Additionally, for each of the first three milestones, sub-item ii. is 'Develop backend and storage structure', yet sounds like you'll use IPFS or NFT.Storage? If you use NFT.Storage, Web3.Storage, a pinning service, or host their own IPFS node, then that sub-item is largely taken care of for you.
Lastly, can you provide more details on why M3 requires 2x the money as M2? The deliverables look similar to M1 & M2.
Thanks in advance!
Hi @Jameel139 ! We would love to hear back from you about some of the feedback that @mjohnson518 provided for you.
Thank you so much @orinayodele for the feedback! Hi @mjohnson518 on it, please give me a couple of days to circle back as the team has been grinding at devcon past two weeks
Hey @mjohnson518 @orinayodele, managed to sync with the team today to clarify the questions.
Regarding the data storage component, I've updated the milestone to outline how it's more related to integrating additional data graphs to the different types of NFTs (e.g. enable comments, reactions, and verifiable credentials).
As for the Signaling budget, the development time for this milestone is longer due to the different layers it entails (reporting and signaling results, ranking, reward allocation for positive/negative reports). I've attached the schema below outlining the process.
Are you open to scheduling a brief call next week and I'll include our core devs to clarify the details? Some open slots:
hey @orinayodele please let me know your thoughts on the above, I can propose new times for this week
Hi @Jameel139 we've had time to look through your proposal and think it's a great idea, however this grants round was specifically focused on Refi focused projects and DoinGud is a bit out of that scope and can not award you a grant at this time. We encourage you to connect with the HyperCerts team, who are building similar protocols.
Thank you guys for taking the time to review the grant. Appreciate the recommendation 🙏 @orinayodele @mjohnson518 @realChainLife

Project Description
DoinGud is a protocol that provides the infrastructure for Decentralized Impact. The DoinGud protocol offers a solution for the lack of transparency, trust, and effectiveness of the current funding models and delivery of social impact. As a solution, the protocol enables communities to easily organize, fundraise, and govern themselves to generate positive social impact.
Social Impact can be organized by creating and joining impact communities. This can be done by creating a Guild where anyone can submit proposals to help improve the community and have them voted on by its members. This gives communities a say in what projects they want to see funded and how the money is spent.
To fundraise for causes, people can use the DoinGud protocol to donate to causes they care about, receive proceeds from NFT sales and leverage yield pools. This allows for sustainable funding, easier donation tracking, and transparency on where the money is going.
For the purposes of this grant, IPFS will be used for all data storage related to Impact Reporting, Linking Creations, and Impact Signaling.
Value To The Ecosystem
The protocol’s main objective is to incentivize and scale the contribution towards public goods, social causes, and environmental impact. The protocol will specifically help on the environmental side through
Development Roadmap
Impact Scope:
Impact curation is a critical process of the DoinGud Protocol. The protocol is designed to incentivize positive social impact. However, not all types of impact are equal, and not all reports will be accurate or verifiable. That's why it's important for the Guild to have qualified reporters and signalers, who can evaluate reports represented by NFTs linked to impact makers, and signal the most worthy ones for rewards. This curation ensures that only verifiable impactful reports are rewarded and that resources are distributed fairly among impact makers, reporters, and signalers.
Development Scope:
The data storage has three milestones: Impact Reporting, Linking Creations, and Impact Signaling
Linking Creations
Functionality: Creators on the DoinGud Protocol link their NFTs to specific Guilds. Each sale donates between 5%-100% to one or several of the over 60 verified Social Impact Organization partners who each work towards the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
All NFT data such as metadata, revenues, royalties, and donations are stored on IPFS.
Documentation, Education, and Community
Milestone Summary
Total Budget Requested
$138,000
Maintenance and Upgrade Plans
The DoinGud DAO will maintain the protocol as long as the DAO is running.
