After a funding round, the community ranks the Grant Ships through a weighted token vote. In the following funding round, high-performing Ships receive a larger portion of the funding pool, and lower-performing Ships receive less.\n\n- Adaptive funding. Over time, the ships will learn which allocations the DAO appreciates the most. \n\n- Pluralism: Nearly all of the coordination, creativity, and decision-making is left up to the individual Grant Ships. This creates competition and skill sharing as Grant Ships work to discover the best approaches for grant distribution.\n\n- Capture Resistance: Each role with authority uses a revokable token (Hats Protocol) to interact with the contracts. The DAO may revoke these roles if an actor is not acting in the DAOs best interest. \n\n- Accountability: \nGrant Recipients are incentivized to produce results and disclose progress to receive more funding in the following funding round.\n\nTo learn more about Grant Ships, feel free to check out Season, Episode 4 of the Green Pill podcast \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOpUobBHsm0\n\nOr read our documentation here:\n\nhttps://rules.grantships.fun/\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Please describe your dApp or App, focusing on its innovative utility or service within the ecosystem.
