We are building an onchain grant registry atop Gitcoin's Allo Protocol to transform how grant programs and applicants connect in a more collaborative environment. This site will walk you through key aspects of what we have built, and we welcome your feedback and collaboration! 🤝
[Citizens Innovate GCP] Karma's On-Chain Grant Aggregator on Allo V2
What differentiates this site from other sites that aggregate grants across the ecosystem?
Unlike traditional grant discovery sites, our registry is built entirely onchain with Gitcoin’s Allo Protocol. This will allow seamless integration with other Web3 tools and services, enabling a more comprehensive and interconnected ecosystem. By being onchain, the registry ensures that data remains transparent, immutable, and accessible.
Our platform empowers programs to claim and manage their registry profiles independently. This approach promotes autonomy, flexibility, and resilience, allowing grant programs to establish their identity, provide real-time updates, and organically grow awareness, regardless of the platform(s) they use to manage their program's operational aspects. With the ability to customize and differentiate their profiles, grant programs can showcase their unique value proposition, attract aligned applicants, and streamline the profile management process, saving time and resources.
Our registry will incorporate powerful data analytics and visualization capabilities to provide valuable insights. Grant program managers can leverage these tools to monitor progress, identify trends, and communicate results effectively, while applicants can explore interactive visualizations to discover relevant funding opportunities.

By highlighting current events and newsworthy items, we aim to be a go-to resource to help you navigate the fast-moving world of Web3 grants.
Our platform is not just a registry of grant programs but a system that enhances program reputation visibility. By leveraging on-chain data and enabling other services to connect and contribute to reputation metrics, we hope to create a view of each program's effectiveness, reliability, and impact over time. This information empowers builders to make informed decisions when searching for grant opportunities, ensuring they allocate their time and resources to the most promising and reputable programs.
Many sites aggregating this information today are inaccurate and only as good as the sole curator who keeps the information current. To ensure that our registry remains accurate and comprehensive, we are building a community called the Cartographers that will:
