3. Metagov Presentation
Eugene Leventhal from https://metagov.org/
- 501c(3) (non-profit) in the US
- Wrote State of Web3 Grants report: State of Web3 Grants Report - PUBLIC - Google Docs
- Building standards and infrastructure for digital self-governance; very active in Web3 space: https://github.com/metagov/daostar/blob/main/DAOIPs/daoip-5.md
- DAOStars is a focused Web3 standard building subsidiary of Metagov
- Submitted large grant for grants innovation
- Two main purposes: Research and technical standards
- Grant would also reach out to groups and receive feedback on technical standards; create more shared infrastructure to support granting (e.g. Gitcoin and Optimism)
- Research sits under Metagov parent org, but the bulk of the grant would go to DAO Stars; Metagov takes 10% overhead to support operations
- Planning to hold “Web3 Grants Summit” at EthDenver

- Ran a round with Optimism, can view results here: QF Optimism Round Results (October 9-23, 2023) - Quadratic Funding - Giveth Forum: Join the conversation to shape the Future of Giving
Applied for ENS Large Grant
- Currently can only run one QF round at a time, would like to run multiple at the same time like Gitcoin
- Requesting funding to build out grants and run multiple rounds at the same time
