{"title": "Alchemists Pool", "description": "## Cookie Jar Research Raid\n\n**Duration:** 6 weeks  \n**Start:** August 6 · **End:** September 20  \n**Weekly Reward:** 0.08 ETH\n\n![Allo Alchemists](https://maroon-improved-elk-171.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeigo2f7xs5yxptpvvkepfye5zcf73chinfx32t2uvyezedyut5qtoi)\n\nAlchemists in this Raid will be collectively diving into one shared prompt for the Research Raid it self. They will not choose research tracks like Explorers; instead, they will focus on weaving across all threads and evolving the Raid OS itself. Their synthesis will help to evolve prompts, meta-items, and to align researches with real-world capital flows.\n\n---\n\n\n## Responsibilities\n\n* Join the **Kickoff Call** on **August 6**.\n* Read all Explorer updates; share a weekly digest in the `Alchemist Circle` thread.\n* Coordinate with Explorers to reduce friction and support scope refinement.\n* Use meta-items (see below) to surface prompts, patterns, and ecosystem signals.\n* Share thread reply links on [cookiejar.wtf](https://www.cookiejar.wtf/jar/0x4E7eBA1BF7b982f4E482d5cE082a7Dd24d12A321) each week to claim your payout.\n* Co-author the **Raid Chronicle** — a shareable artifact for the ecosystem.\n\n---\n\n## Meta-Items You’ll Activate\n\n\n**Signal Beacon**   | Launch a poll, form, or interactive sensemaking tool to explore pattern salience.   \n**Prompt Fragment** | Distill an insight or question from Explorer threads; log it for future Raids.      \n**Call the Wizard** | Schedule a call with @owocki or other invited experts (up to 3 uses per Raid).      \n**Party**           | Host a co-working or thematic synthesis session; publish recap in Alchemist Circle. \n\n---\n## Meta-Track - Evolving the Raid OS\n\n### Alchemy\n\n**Prompt:**\nHow might we design Cookie Jar Raid OS to unlock 10× researcher throughput and TVF?\n\n---\n\n## Possible Artifacts & Outcomes\n\n**Digest Threads** | Weekly synthesis across Explorer tracks\n**Prompt Library** | Curated prompt seeds + fragments for future raids\n**Meta-Item Report** | Ledger of meta-tools used and what frictions they resolved\n**Pattern Briefs** | Coordination legibility frameworks and synthesis maps\n**Chronicle** | Narrative + operational summary of the Raid with recommendations\n**TVF Reflections** | Statements of how these insights may unlock capital flow\n**Reports and Memos** | Notes and reports summarizing ecosystem insights\n**Feature Wishlist** | Review-claim flow, Forum ↔ GitHub, Chronicle generator\n**Governance Playbook** | Quorum & voting, Hypercert schema, Research Raid Manual\n\n---\n\n## Submit your proposal with the template below 👇\n\n```\n## Alchemist Application \n[Telegram or Discord Handle] \n[Your Wallet]\n\n**1. Why this excites you (max 4 sentences):**  \nWhat draws you to sensemaking, research synthesis, and meta-level insight work?\n\n**2. Which evidence base will you focus on?**  \n[ ] Allocator Archetypes (Allo)  \n[ ] Ethereum’s Biggest Problems (Gitcoin + EF forum sensemaking)\n\n**3. Relevant experience:**  \nShare examples of your research, facilitation, systems thinking, or coordination background. Include links if helpful.\n\n**4. Meta-Track focus (1–2 sentences):**  \nWhat aspect of the funding coordination problem are you most curious to synthesize across?\n\n**5. Weekly synthesis flow (3 bullets):**  \nHow will you track, connect, and surface patterns? (e.g. forum scanning, prompt harvesting, visual frameworks, workshop recaps)\n\n**6. Meta-items you’re excited to test:**  \nWhich of the following meta-items will you lean on and how?  \n Signal Beacon · Prompt Fragment · Call the Wizard · Party\n```\n\n---\n\n## Selection\n- Until Aug 5, 23:59 PM UTC\n- Ranked Conviction Voting (Top 3 Alchemists selected)\n- Voting Eligibility: **[Allo NFT](https://www.allo.capital/patron) holders**\n\n### Evaluation Criteria\n\n* Systems thinking and pattern recognition capacity\n* Research, governance, or facilitation experience\n* Intent to evolve the Raid OS with clarity and care\n\n---\n\n## Follow Up\n\nStay tuned on [Allo Research](https://research.allo.capital/) for updates."}
