It ain't a lot of money, but paid forward 5% of the funding received for GrantsScope in GG21 to 3 upstream dependencies: @gitcoin for RegenData, @davidgasquez for Grants Data Portal, and @protocolguild. If we all did our part, we can make more than a dent in funding OSS 🦾
The biggest challenge with infrastructure-level changes is that no playbooks exist. The most exciting thing about infrastructure-level changes is that no playbooks exist. Upcoming readings...
Would love to steal a day before or after Devcon for a longish cycle ride (~125 - 150 km) around Bangkok. If anyone has done this before or would like to join, let know!
Deeply grateful to the @gitcoin community for supporting the experiment to reduce information silos in public goods funding. We’ve crossed 800 all-time unique donors for GrantsScope in #GG21. The journey continues—day 1 of building for #GG22.
Are you a returning @gitcoin donor? With just one day left, don't miss out on supporting your past favorites in #GG21! Enter your address at https://grantsscope.streamlit.app to discover who you might have missed + get personalized recommendations. Support GrantsScope if you like what you see.
In large QF rounds, where hundreds of grantees vie for attention, the brightest spotlight often falls on those with the strongest marketing. This imbalance can create a cycle where deserving projects may go unnoticed.

Information silos create cultural silos.

Check out GrantsScope for #GG21 on how you can break the bias by applying patterns and anti-patterns in your donation history to discover new grantees.

If you find something interesting, donate to GrantsScope to continue the experimentation.

My recent healthy pastime is trying to beat the Google Maps ETA for car travel on Bangalore roads with the time taken on the cycle. Almost did it this morning 😄

Taking the GG21 frame built by @shutanaka.eth for a spin!
#GG21 has eleven rounds with close to 400 (and counting) grantees. How would you pick who you want to support? How about a one-click recommendation engine using your donation history on

The next version of GrantsScope will drop sometime in the next 24 hours.
There is a certain "Marie Kondo" vibe in establishing a baseline on @karmahq of all your grants and updates. All funding information spanning 4 grants and 14 milestones across code, data, and research for GrantsScope is now here, just in time for #GG21 🕺

Giving a shout out to Praise (https://givepraise.xyz/ )from the last epoch. Very few tech products are so well centered on a core concept coded in the etymology thousands of years ago. Fast forward to web3, Praise does it at the most atomic unit possible - an in-the-moment recognition of your contribution by those most impacted by it. This can unlock the Lego block for portable reputation!

Regeneration can compound, size no bar. What did you sow today?
Kid did a camp on farming and biodiversity last year at Nature Inspires Chiguru Ecospace near Bangalore. This project is in the GIV-Earth round, the first environment-focused QF round on @giveth. Let's support local regeneration using global rails!

Took a shot at compiling key questions for early-stage regen teams focusing on:

1️⃣ Adaptive strategies inspired by cybernetics
2️⃣ Cyclical value generation and reinvestment
3️⃣ Communities vested beyond economic incentives

Love to hear thoughts and feedback!
Local red soil in Bangalore + a little river sand + coco peat (waste product from coconut fibre extraction) + verimicompost + rain harvested water + lots of sun = 🍅🍅🍅
Nature Inspires near Bangalore combines an organic farm, a biodiversity education center, an affordable farmers market, and a plant nursery of forgotten herbs. It is so heartening to see local efforts participating in the global movement via @giveth

Mexican Hat plant, native to Madagascar - The pups along the edges of the leaves are baby plants that can drop off and grow into new plants. DM if anyone in Bangalore wants to grow these from 0-to-1 (pick up at Harlur).
