GrantShares Proposals

Four GrantShares funding proposals were introduced in early July 2022: one for the development of the Forthewin NEP hub, one for the Web3 Italia community, a proposal for a comprehensive N3 development course, and a funding request for an auto-compounding wrapper around NEO/bNEO tokens. All four proposals were committed to the N3 blockchain between July 3 and 8, 2022. The latter three received endorsement from a GrantShares member and have exceeded the five vote minimum which is necessary for acceptance of the proposal by the DAO.

In the time since, there have been four additional proposals submitted to GrantShares. First, a professor of Economics at the University of Siena in Italy requested funding to produce a research paper over 12 months. The second proposal seeks to fund the development and operation of an opt-in service that enables NFT fusing and unfusing capabilities. The third is a request to support the production of Spanish language development courses. And, the fourth proposal seeks to fund UsePAY, a cryptocurrency-based social commerce platform.
