We're developing open-source funding primitives, contracts, tools, and applications. Our goal is twofold: to reduce friction in giving and receiving funding, and to accelerate iteration on mechanism design.\n\nIn [July](http://aipgf.com/announcement), [we](http://bento.me/potlock) launched [AI-PGF](http://aipgf.com/announcement), a proactive grants program designed to be replaced by the AI-enabled funding agents it supports. AI-PGF is more than just a program—it's a movement and a new field exploring ways to automate funding at the intersection of Web3 and AI. This initiative aims to reduce overhead and realize the vision of builders automatically receiving funding for impactful projects. Our ultimate goal is to develop a \"funding AGI\" capable of contextually initiating funding programs, evaluating projects, and redistributing funds more effectively than even the most skilled grant manager.\n\nFor more on AI-PGF: [aipgf.com/explained](http://aipgf.com/explained) and [bento.me/aipgf](http://bento.me/aipgf)\n\nLearn more about Potlock: [bento.me/potlock](http://bento.me/potlock)\n\nCurrently, Potlock serves as a go-to funding platform on NEAR, developing public goods products. \n\nIn 2024, we have:\n\n- Launched a direct donation and project discovery platform\n- Initiated 6 of the first quadratic funding rounds on NEAR\n- Distributed over a quarter million dollars in funding through our platform\n- Attracted more than 200 project sign-ups\n- Shipped [nada.bot](http://nada.bot), our identity solution\n- Built our entire product using on-chain front ends (distributed across 100+ gateways automatically)\n- Developed lists and campaign contracts\n- Launched a proactive grants program for AI-PGF and an on-chain forum\n- Created donation agents\n\nUpcoming Endeavors:\n\n- AI-PGF agent & ecosystem building — AI-powered Grants\n- Launch of GrantPicks on Stellar and NEAR\n- Launch of Campaigns on NEAR\n- No-Code Agent Builder (TBA)\n- Potv2 Upgrades (Beyond just QF)\n- Expansion into EVM ecosystem, especially with AI-PGF\n- More Funding Rounds — User Owned AI FOCUS\n- Improvements to Sybil resistance; Gitcoin Passport Integration", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "potlock", "projectTwitter": "potlock_"}
