Thank ARB x Cartographer Syndicate - Program Overview

Overview 👀

The Cartographers, part of MetaGov’s Grant Innovation Lab, is a collective dedicated to advancing the Web3 grants ecosystem through innovative curation, aggregation, and funding approaches. Through this grant from Thank ARB we intend to:

1. Further develop the Onchain Grant Registry with Gitcoin, Karma, and OpenSource Observer.
2. Aggregate news and current events related to Web3 Grants via Crypto Grant Wire
3. Experiment with novel funding mechanisms and incentivize contributions.

Through these efforts, the Cartographer Syndicate aims to become a central hub for the Web3 grants community, providing the infrastructure, resources, and incentives needed to unlock the full potential of this rapidly evolving space.

Program Objectives 🎯

Build a Comprehensive Web3 Grant Program Registry

• Partnering with Karma to build and maintain an easily accessible on-chain registry for all grant programs within the Web3 ecosystem
• Exploration of building systems of transparency and accountability across grant programs
• Integrating data analytics and visualization tools within the registry
• Building a system aggregating news and current events across the Web3 grants landscape

A Grant Program for Grant Programs

• Create a “grant program for grant programs,” allowing experimentation and utilizing novel funding mechanisms
