The ratio of GIV/oneGIV stays the same when Angel Vault LP positions are removed. We therefore want to encourage liquidity providers to periodically withdraw liquidity —  removing some % of GIV from the pool — and then re-add liquidity in oneGIV, increasing the total concentration of stables in the Angel Vault. This will help to support the strength of the Angel Vault buy-wall.

Change-Makers: Final Round-up!

· 6 min read
Mitch

Giveth has been buzzing with action! While we’ve been hard at work behind-the-scenes building for our community, Giveth change-makers have been hard at work creating positive impact on the ground. We are excited to share with you one final round-up of projects in the Change-Maker Campaign.

Change Makers Going out to pasture

Our Calling All Change-Makers Campaign launched in April 2021 as a way to highlight the unique stories of for-good projects on Giveth and bring extra attention to the work that they are doing to change the world for the better. Read on to discover the final submissions!

Perfect Village Communities (PVC) in Burundi

Perfect Village Communities (PVC) in Burundi

Is an organization that aims to improve the living conditions in rural communities across the central African country of Burundi. The project’s creator, Mugisha, states that in rural Burundi up to 58% of children suffer from malnutrition and communities often have no access to medical services. Agriculture and livestock can represent up to 95% of a village’s commercial activities, yet families still struggle to get enough food to sustain themselves.

PVC Burundi began in 2015 and is teaching rural communities how to implement regenerative systems for improving education, agriculture and healthcare. Activities focus on soil regeneration, organic waste recycling, tree planting, and of course, growing food. PVC Burundi provides healthcare access to communities in exchange for tree-planting services, incentivizing a healthy environment in tandem with healthy humans.

Food sold in markets via Village Communities are used to fund PVC’s healthcare and education initiatives. Every year they launch “Community Reconciliation” where they expose new communities to different regenerative techniques, begin tree planting campaigns and bring food to market. Currently, one of their main goals is to extend their healthcare facilities in Burundi.

Check out Perfect Villages in Burundi and help spread the regenerative movement in Africa!

Bridging Digital Communities

Bridging Digital Communities

Is run by a Digital Wizard by the name of Kay. He creates online bridges that allow communities to stay connected. In the decentralized world of Blockchain, communities can spring up seemingly out of nowhere, forming around causes, concepts, technologies or protocols. In this rapidly growing part of the world wide web, communities thrive off of the collective innovation and synergy of ideas, exponentiated greatly by the digital bridges that Kay creates. He has been creating and maintaining bridge servers for applications such as Discord, Telegram or Riot and has never charged anyone to make these connections. He bridges quite a few notable Ethereum projects such as: Matic, Gitcoin, 1hive, Conensys, Aragon and even Giveth (Thanks Kay! 😉)

Kay has a project on Giveth — the proceeds of which go into funding the work he does building bridges and keeping digital communities connected. Check out his project on Giveth here!

Vegan Africa Fund

Vegan Africa Fund

Is a Social Enterprise focused on creating a vegan economy in Africa. They actively support African ventures in education, regenerative agriculture, renewable-energy cryptocurrency mining, vegan leather and clothing, reforestation and making delicious vegan food! They have minted their own digital $VAF impact-tokens which are accepted by all of their affiliate businesses for any products, services and experiences they might offer. Vegan Africa Fund hopes to kick-start their green economy with initial funding to back their $VAF token.

Help Vegan Africa Fund pave the way for a plant-based Africa by making a donation to their project on Giveth.

Spread the Love Commission

Spread the Love Commission

Bridges the divide in the US between those experiencing homelessness and the inspired individuals who want to lend a hand. Wren Fialka, the founder, started it all by asking a man experiencing homelessness one question: “If there was a bag of items that I could bring you tomorrow to make your day-to-day life easier, what would be in the bag?”. Based on their simple approach focused on “Connection, Compassion and Vital Supplies” they have been serving communities across the US for the last 6 years.

On the Spread the Love project page they state that anywhere between 600,000 to 1.5 million people experience homelessness across the country, and with Covid-19 financial support ending soon, that number is likely to rise. With only one employee, Spread the Love Commission needs to grow in order to meet these rising challenges. So far they have served over 30 communities and with Giver support they hope to serve many more.

Spread the Love Commission aims to remove the stigma of homelessness and connect those stuck in a vicious cycle with support from those who are ready to offer it. With sustainability, compassion and persistence they hope to end the homelessness crisis once and for all.

Visit the Spread the Love Commission Giveth project page to find out more and help them fund their critical mission!

And that’s a wrap! Thank you to all the Givers that provide support to projects that are making a difference, and to all the change-makers that are finding a way to make positive global impact. It has been amazing to have the opportunity to learn from and highlight so many projects that are daring to be different, working hard to connect humans and improving the world we live in!

While the Change-Maker campaign has ended you can still get some Giveth love by sharing your project with us on Reddit or Twitter for a shout out or a repost on our social media channels. We always appreciate outstanding Giveth projects and are planning to keep highlighting Makers going the extra mile on the Giveth.io. Thank you to all of our participants!

The First Change-Maker Submission Roundup is In!

· 6 min read
Mitch

We asked our community to add their projects to giveth.io and share their stories about how they are changing the world for the better using #giveth4change. Read on to discover our first round of submissions, or submit your story via twitter or reddit to be featured in our next summary.

Purrfect Project on Giveth

Wow 2 weeks already into the change-maker campaign! It’s been an exciting couple of months for Giveth. We’ve come hot off the heels from the Giveth.io launch right into this opportunity to hear about projects making a difference across the globe. We’ve received six outstanding submissions that we would like to highlight in our first roundup. Without further ado here they are!

Sage to Saddle​

aims to focus Native American youth on healthy lifestyle alternatives, rising above the poverty and substance abuse that they often live with. Nate Bressler realized while on photo-assignment shooting Native American horse racing teams for Outside Magazine, that a winter horse riding facility would greatly benefit the community of Pine Ridge, South Dakota. He teamed up with Lakota Native, Stan Brewer, the driving force behind Pine Ridge’s horse community and Angela Smith, who grew up in Utah and has been involved in nonprofits her whole life. Together, they created lofty but attainable goals that will bring structure, education, celebration, along with the opportunity for these Native youth to lift their chins with pride.

This project hopes to provide an after-school program for kids 8–18 focused on equine relationships in an indoor horse riding arena. Students of the program will be granted the opportunity to learn and grow while carrying on a traditional relationship with the very animal that made their ancestors’ survival possible. Check out Sage to Saddle on Giveth here!

Conscious Medicine Collective​

dreams to create a one-of-a-kind psychedelic consciousness center. Manex Ibar and Victoria Ibar, partners and founders, intend to create powerful experiences to bring together creativity, music, art, and high-end healing. The intention is to gather medical practitioners and influencers together into a club that fosters innovation, problem solving, and creative solutions through the use of plant medicines, psychedelics, and consciousness programs. They seek funding to establish their center on 12 acres of land they already have purchased in the picturesque Basque Pyrenées. Conscious Medicine Collective aims to bring magic, nature and wonder into an experiential club center that provides elevation of consciousness. Venture over to their Giveth project page.

Trust Graphic Novel​

is a transmedia project by Blockchain Philanthropy Champion Anne Connelly and accomplished artist and storyteller Chief Nyamweya. Both a graphic novel and motion comic, it is set in a future African nation that tells the story of Moraa, a young woman who learns about blockchain and uses it to protect her homeland from cultural and ecological destruction. By using storytelling to educate readers about blockchain technology, they hope to inspire African youth to see a bright future and link them to the training to create it. Currently Anne and her team are partnered with groups in Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda and South Africa. The book will cover the basics of blockchains and cryptocurrency, and provide resources and links to their African-based educational partners. You can find their Giveth project here.

Bloom Network​

represents an international community of people and projects working toward regenerative cultures. Local Bloom hubs around the world grow participation in practices such as food security, local economies, celebrations of diversity, and art as cultural transformation. There are tens of thousands of initiatives solving major social and environmental problems, who are excluded from mainstream media and institutional finance because the way they work is naturally collaborative and polycentric. Three big picture goals the Bloom Network hopes to achieve are:

  • Inspire a billion acts of regeneration.
  • Build capacity and relationships across regenerative culture initiatives.
  • Transfer power and resources to decentralized networks.

Contributions made to their project will go towards “Regenerative Actions Ticker” on their homepage, DAO templates that local Bloom chapters can use to fund the coordination labor of actions and launch the “Call to Bloom” that will help 100+ local Blooms get started as centers of regenerative action in their cities. Donate to Bloom Network on Giveth.io!

Must Have Crypto​

is a Cryptocurrency project based out of Kenya led by Mutinda Kisio. The Project is about teaching the masses about Crypto while enabling them to earn a daily basic income. They have minted their own token and plan to use it to teach low income individuals and families about how to use cryptocurrency by providing a steady stream of airdrops up to a maximum of a 1000 addresses. Mutinda is seeking funding to back the value of the token and provide real value to the tokens that are being airdropped. Make a Contribution to Must Have Crypto on their Giveth project page.

Diamante Bridge Collective​

is a group of land stewards in the Diamante Valley, Costa Rica working together to create collective foundational agreements and a local regenerative economy that includes digital currencies for the transparent and accountable recordkeeping of their exchanges. They are building bridges between communities and organizations, local and global cultures, property owners and skilled service providers who are committed to working together long term to care for their bio-region, their neighbors, and the community at large. The Diamante Bridge Collective functions as a hub of many physical nodes, connected via global networks of shared vision and missions with the goal of restoring, preserving and consciously stewarding surrounding lands and watersheds while living harmoniously within them in alignment with planetary values. Donations will help develop infrastructure systems to support growing communities. Head over to their project on giveth.io to make a donation!

Six change-making projects live on Giveth and inspiring change! There are a couple more weeks left to make submissions so if you or someone you know is working on a great cause then now is the time to get on board! You can check out our original medium post here for more details!

Cowboy Rounding up Submissions

We asked our community to add their projects to giveth.io and share their stories about how they are changing the world for the better using #giveth4change. Keep reading for our second round of submissions, or submit your story via twitter or reddit to be featured in our next round up.

It’s an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to highlight another batch of great projects shaking things up out in the world! We have four awesome submissions for this period that we would like to share. Let’s check them out:

Diamante Luz Center for Regenerative Living

Diamante Luz Center for Regenerative Living​

is gathering passionate individuals who care about land stewardship and building conscious, intentional communities. They are catalyzing action to restore lands and protect water resources. Based in the Diamante Valley, Costa Rica, their goal is to strengthen connections to local culture and lands by building an integrated village designed to support human development and regenerate local ecosystems. They are nurturing holistic ways of living in order to live in harmony with humanity and Mother Earth. Make a donation to the Diamante Luz Center on Giveth.io!

The Commons Simulator

The Commons Simulator​

is a gamified computation tool powered by a cadCAD backend that blends art and simulation into a choose-your-own-adventure sci-fi storyline. In the game, you travel back in time to use cadCAD as a tool to help a community design a regenerative Commons with the potential to save the world from total planetary and economic destruction. The first level is live and you can play it right now on https://sim.commonsstack.org.

Developed by the Commons Stack Dev community, the Commons Simulator illustrates one of the core missions of the Commons Stack: Empowering communities to design their own economies using open source simulation tools. Donations to this project on Giveth will go towards expanding the game by adding another level with a new story and new mechanics, such as the Augmented Bonding Curve. Help the Commons Simulator ‘Level Up’ by making a donation on Giveth!

AmwFund

AmwFund​

is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit managed by Craig Anderson. It is a digital asset fundraising ecosystem that is the primary fundraising entity for the AM Winn Community Public School based in Sacramento, California. It’s parent entity, the AM Winn Community Guild, serves primarily low-income and otherwise disadvantaged communities. They facilitate several projects relating to public education funding utilizing the potential of digital assets, NFTs and DeFi protocols. Find out more info and make a donation to AmwFund on Giveth!

Njombe Beyond

Njombe Beyond​

aims to tackle waste management challenges in Njombe, a town of 40,000 in southwest Tanzania. A common challenge in Tanzania is solid waste management, including in Njombe. Mettodo, the project’s creator states:

‘ 35 tons of solid waste is generated daily by the town: 28 tons are taken to a dumpsite, where the waste is usually burned . . . 10 % of the solid waste is plastic waste: 3,500 kg of per day, which is equal to 1000 tons of plastic waste every year.’

Njombe Beyond is working hard to reduce the plastic wasted in Njombe town. Their three specific objectives are:

  • Establish a small scale value chain for recycling plastics within the local community.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders of the program and ensure fair working conditions.
  • Involve schools and local communities in Njombe Beyond to bring awareness to the problems and opportunities of plastic waste.

Check out Njombe Beyond’s project on Giveth!

When we first set out on the change-maker campaign we had decided to wrap things up on the 12th of May, but after some discussion we have decided to extend the change-maker campaign indefinitely. It’s an amazing opportunity to engage with our community and celebrate the amazing projects happening on Giveth.io. If you’d like to learn how to participate check out the original medium post for more details on getting your project featured in our submission round-ups!

Watching for those doing good

We’re back with a silver platter of community curated projects to celebrate and highlight! Our Giveth contributors went through the list and chose their top picks. We’ve found six great projects that are live on Giveth now and looking for funding to meet their goals. Read on to discover some of our favourite projects from a diverse range of causes using our DApps.

Colorado Multiversity

Colorado Multiversity

Is a partnership of local and international organizations based in the Northern Caribbean side of Costa Rica. They provide resources for disaster relief workers and environmental conservationists. The biodiversity contained in Costa Rica cannot be understated and the preservation of the plethora of unique flora and fauna in this region is paramount to the Multiversity’s mission. They currently steward a land area of 1235 acres located within the Barra del Colorado National Refuge which has been designated by UNESCO as one of most important places for natural conservation.

Currently, Colorado Multiversity operates out of a biological station called “El Zota”, which is one of the Multiversity’s partners. El Zota carries out research and training for those who are passionate about conservation and biodiversity. There is also The Refuge Project, another one of the Multiversity’s organizations, that utilizes the facility as a safe space for disaster relief workers worldwide to meet, rest, teach and learn.

The Colorado Multiversity has been recognized by some notable organizations for potential funding, including the SDG Impact Fund, Gaia Gives and the Spanish Cooperation. They are seeking initial funding to kick-start their mission and meet the funding criteria outlined by these organizations. They have a wide range of projects being launched including decarbonization initiatives, international volunteering programs, agricultural development research and plastic recycling. Check out their introduction video below and visit their project on Giveth to learn more and donate!

Feed the Hungry in Chilliwack, BC, Canada

Feed the Hungry in Chilliwack, BC, Canada

Is a local effort led by a man named David to make a contribution to the homeless population prevalent in the local community of Chilliwack, a city near Vancouver, British Columbia. In Vancouver the homeless population is ever-present and expanding. The temperate climate of southern BC has allowed this region to become a year-round hub for the Canadian demographic experiencing homelessness. The problem in Chilliwack is exacerbated as the city of Vancouver rounds up the homeless on one-way buses to Chilliwack, dropping them off in the town with no return.

Feeding the hungry is a simple and powerful gesture. David’s trusty team, consisting of him and his daughter, plans to create food packages to hand out to the population experiencing homelessness in Chilliwack. David is seeking funding to purchase ingredients for the food packages, cover gas costs and pay for lodging expenses. At the time of writing this article, David’s team is gearing up and getting ready to execute their plan in the coming weeks. Funds contributed to this project will allow them to scale their mission and feed more people. Find their project on Giveth.io, make a donation and stay tuned for updates in the near future!

Women of Crypto Art (WOCA)

Women of Crypto Art (WOCA)

Have launched an inclusive community to celebrate, support and connect the women in the crypto art space. The voices of women are extremely important and often underrepresented so WOCA is championing the presence of women in the crypto sphere. They share ideas and information and promote each other’s work across all realms of cryptocurrency. In 6 short months their community has quickly grown to over 400 members.

WOCA has kept pace with their rapid growth, improving their organization in many ways. They’ve built a website to showcase their community talent, they launched a Colony DAO to manage their thriving tribe and have formed great relationships with entities such as Panvala and Cryptovoxels. WOCA is seeking funding to reach their next milestones, including building a permanent gallery, onboarding members to the DAO and promoting all of the incredible work done by women artists. Check out WOCA and make a donation to their project on Giveth.

Vukani

Vukani

Translates to “Wake Up” in the regional isiZulu tongue, and is the motto of this project based in rural Zimbabwe. The entire country faces extreme food security challenges, driven by political and environmental factors. This project is dedicated to finding food security solutions for one of the most important, yet vulnerable groups in society: the children. The project’s owner, Tim Olsson, believes that satisfying the nutritional needs of children allows them to focus on their education and development. Children will create the future of tomorrow and providing them with the means to succeed will help them overcome the challenges we still face today.

Vukani’s immediate goal is to grow food to nourish the local school children. Research is needed to find an agricultural system that works in the unique conditions of Zimbabwe. Once an effective system is found by the initial pilot project, their aim is to scale up and one day serve the entire country. Progress has been made for finding a water source but more infrastructure needs to be acquired to effectively distribute it for irrigation. Funds to this project will help make purchases for water pumps and solar-powered irrigation systems. Head over to Vukani’s project on Giveth to read more and make a donation!

We’re back with another fresh batch of amazing projects on Giveth.io. We have six projects from a wide range of causes that we are featuring in this project spotlight. This is also an extra special spotlight because Giveth.io itself is currently active and accepting donations on the latest round of Gitcoin Grants (GR11). If you feel inspired by the Giveth mission after reading this article then consider making a contribution via our Grants listing and learn about the magic of Quadratic Funding! More on that later…

GR11 Magic

Without further ado let’s dive in and highlight these projects that are making our DApp great!

ETHOS

ETHOS

Emergency Transitional Housing Offering Services (ETHOS) is designing funding solutions for the homelessness crisis in Olympia, Washington State. ETHOS has been championed by ‘Art Is Solidarity’ which is a local non-profit combining blockchain technology and art mediums to find solutions and funding opportunities for pressing social issues. At the heart of this project is the city’s first initiative: to combat homelessness. From ETHOS’s project description:

“In 2018, the City of Olympia sanctioned a tent city adjacent to the transit center downtown dubbed the “Mitigation Site” for those struggling on the streets to have somewhere to rest and seek shelter. In late 2020, two-and-a-half winters and many tents later, a next step in creating a path to housing for downtowners was conceived when the City of Olympia contracted a local design and build firm to create 60 ‘micro-houses’ to replace tents and offer more security and safety for those trying to get on their feet.“

Following the successful construction and installation of these micro-houses, Art Is Solidarity will use additional funds raised to improve upon the amenities inside the Mitigation Site in a unique way. They are engaging the help of local artists to beautify the micro-houses into works of art and mint the art pieces into NFTs to be auctioned off digitally. Proceeds of these auctions will go towards outfitting the house with furniture, heaters and more!

Art Is Solidarity also intends to educate the shelter’s inhabitants and local artists about the vast opportunities that NFTs and cryptocurrencies can offer for alternative forms of income, and provide them with the tools to get involved. Check out their project on Giveth.io and donate to help the build and beautification of micro-housing, and the educational opportunities being created for the homeless in Olympia.

Finca Morpho

Finca Morpho

Nestled in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, there is a community of thriving nomads building ecological harmony at Finca Morpho. This 5-acre beachfront paradise is where humans create strong ties with each other and the land while learning a wide range of skills for a harmonized lifestyle. These skills include permaculture, bamboo building, recycling techniques, holistic medicine, renewable energy, and healthy cooking techniques.

Founded in 2014 Finca Morpho is a place for curious travelers to spend time in nature and to fully immerse themselves in communal living. They also host events and retreats to further share the important knowledge they have cultivated on the farm. They have created closed-loop recycling systems from the ground up, having found ways to completely repurpose all of their waste. From a simple sandy beach they have nurtured a thriving permaculture system complete with aquaponics, soil sanctuaries and carbon sequestration techniques. They have come a long way from their humble beginnings.

There are 7 pillars that comprise the core physical and conceptual foundations of the farm: The Kitchen, The Resource Center, Permaculture, Hospitality, Infrastructure, Project Management and Relationships. Finca Morpho is seeking funding to upgrade a few of these pillars which need a bit of love in order to maintain and improve their functions. The four pillars needing improvements are:

  • Kitchen — To keep feeding hungry mouths and processing the bounty of the land. Buying new equipment such as blenders and stoves.
  • Resource Center — To fulfill their mission of recycling or repurposing everything they use. Purchasing a 3d printer, plastic shredder, extruder, microscope and expanding the area of the center.
  • Infrastructure — The cabins, water storage system and solar grid they maintain are in need of love. Buying new solar batteries, renovating cabins and installing a new water storage system.
  • Permaculture — Every season comes with new challenges and needs. Purchasing seeds, plants and trees.

Check out Finca Morpho’s project on Giveth.io and make a donation to keep this community thriving and capable of spreading its message to those who seek it, and learn more about how they do it on their website.

Solidity Development Course in Farsi

Solidity Development Course in Farsi

The language and gender barriers created by the english-dominated blockchain industry severely hamper opportunities of up-and-coming demographics to fully participate in the revolutionary technology that Blockchain produces. Shayan Eskandari, the project’s creator summarizes the opportunity to provide support:

“Farsi is spoken by an estimated 110 million speakers mostly in Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Russia, Azerbaijan and Afghanistan . . . In contrast to the West where computer engineers are predominantly men, Iran’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) graduates are about 70% women.”

CoinIran, the project’s host organization, has built opportunities to overcome these barriers by creating unique programs for Farsi speakers, notably their latest project, “Women in Blockchain’’. This program is putting Iranian women through the ConsenSys Academy Blockchain Developer bootcamp while providing technical and linguistic support, giving them the knowledge and skills to acquire jobs as Ethereum developers. Their initial cycle put 7 women through the course, who all passed, receiving developer certifications from ConsenSys.

Making Blockchain and Cryptocurrency more accessible will only help to ensure its growth and adoption. The project is seeking funding to cover the expenses of putting the women through the course and for the costs of building the course tailored for Farsi speakers with comprehensive media, translations and syllabuses. Further funds raised will allow more women to go through the program. Read the full article on CoinIran and visit their project on Giveth.io to make a donation!

Oika

Oika

Can be defined as “The feeling of ecological wellbeing and belonging to nature. It is the intelligence of nature as expressed through human thought and action.”. The word is derived from the Greek word Oikos, meaning “home”. The project, Oika, is reconnecting humans with nature and raising awareness of climate change through NFT technology. Dr. Rich Blundell, the project’s creator, has gathered a team of scientists, artists and storytellers to cultivate Ecological Intelligence. They are combining the realms of academic ecological analysis with different artistic techniques to produce images and videos that are minted as NFTs. You can check out their creations on the Oika Media page.

Oika also maintains an off-grid homestead and marine research vessel for inspired researchers to collaborate, incubating new ideas and generating knowledge. There are a wide variety of subjects that Oika advocates research on, such as:

  • Ecological Survey & Monitoring
  • Invasive Species Response
  • Pelagic/Neritic, Plastics Clean-up
  • Fishing Debris Location & Removal
  • Wildlife Reporting & Monitoring
  • Aquaculture Research
  • Phenology (study of climate change effects)
  • Citizen Science
  • Sci-Art Collaboration
  • Public Interpretation/Communication
  • Conservation Journalism/Documentary

Oika also offers courses for teaching the concepts of Ecological Intelligence. They seek funding to continue operating their off-grid research center and to pay artists and scientists for their contributions and collaborations involved in crafting the NFTs. Visit the Oika website to learn more and check out their project on Giveth.io to make a donation!

Grassroots Economics

Grassroots Economics

The ability for local economies to spring up, create their own money and give it value is one of the most revolutionary concepts created by cryptocurrency. Grassroots Economics is proving this concept by building open-source economies in communities throughout Kenya. Their base token. known as Community Inclusion Currency (CIC). is to be used across all their participating communities in order to quantify and redistribute the abundance of goods they produce.

Their vision is to create healthy and decentralized ecosystems by empowering locals to design their own economies. They also believe heavily in syntropic agroforestry as the main technique to provide agricultural abundance and economic value production.

They seek funding in order to build the open-source software they need in order to achieve their goals. Development currently takes place on their public repository on Gitlab. Check out their project on Giveth.io and make a donation to allow Kenyan communities to build new economies using Blockchain!

Rainbow Crystal Land

Rainbow Crystal Land

Among the Andes mountains in San Agustin, Colombia, there is a community of free-spirits liberating mother nature and creating communal living spaces. Rainbow Crystal Land (RCL), established in 2014, strives to create a global network of leaderless, horizontally structured communities that live in harmony with each other and the Earth. Currently they operate out of their main hub in San Agustin but are seeking to build a global community that shares their philosophy. They are mostly donation based but also sell the food they grow on the land to the local markets. All of these funds go into their “Magic Hat” which is used to buy necessary food and pay overhead costs to continue their existence.

They have written a comprehensive handbook detailing many aspects of their organization, including their declaration of Common Intention as well as their Mission, Vision and Values. On the land they maintain several houses for families and dormitories for their human inhabitants. They operate a solar grid for closed-loop electricity provision and also a permaculture farm on their 14 hectare plot of land.

RCL is seeking funding to improve much of their existing infrastructure. They are hoping to purchase treated bamboo and other wood to finish building their housing projects. Tools and plant supplies need to be bought to begin putting to use their recently acquired land. Funding also is always needed to feed their citizens, namely, those who are working hard to build their utopian vision. Check out their project on Giveth.io to learn more and make a donation!

That’s a wrap for this community project spotlight! Six diverse projects that are making a positive change across the globe, check them out and consider making a donation to keep these important causes alive and thriving! Stay tuned for more featured projects in the future!

Community Project Spotlight #3

· 10 min read
Mitch

It’s time for another batch of great projects from Giveth.io, hand-picked by our contributors. We have six amazing projects to feature in this edition of the community spotlight.

Project spotlight Time!

There’s an exciting array of projects waiting below — everything from indigenous culture, to black art, to even the arcane realm of memery. Discover some of the magic on Giveth.io with these projects that are making waves in our physical and digital worlds. Let’s dive in!

Futuro Nativo

FUTURO NATIVO​

is celebrating and spreading indigenous cultures and practices found in the western Brazilian region of Acre. They are creating donation pathways to empower several native tribes, and are propagating holistic practices to restore our connection with the Earth. They currently support four tribal villages in the region:

  • Yawanawa — Shukuvena (“Toucan” in the local language) — Praised for fostering strong female leaders, this tribe is focused on agroforestry, food sovereignty, natural medicines and spiritual practices.
  • Huni Kui — Pinuya (“Hummingbird” in the local language) — Residing in the northern zone of Acre, the village of Pinuya is making huge leaps in reforestation efforts and crop laying. They are focused on yielding saplings and food surpluses with the intention to move away from tourism and find alternative income sources.
  • Huni Kui — Caucho — Dwelling in the basins of the rivers Juruà and Purus, the village of Caucho strives to reclaim their culture from the shocks of colonial industrialization. The Amazon Rubber Boom eroded much of their ancestral culture. They believe in sowing their culture through music, dance and art.
  • Kuntanawa or “Coconut People” — Believe that plants are the way to connect with the spirits of the forest. They have mastered how to cure their people with traditional medicines and plan to cure the world by creating alliances of communities committed to restore the balance of nature.

Each tribe boasts dozens of families living on their ancestral land, which collectively is spread out over hundreds of thousands of hectares of Amazonian rainforest. These peoples steward their land, implementing traditional agroforestry techniques, as well as ply their artisanal craft-making skills. The tribes affiliated with Futuro Nativo also host visitors and workshops to teach their culture to the curious and passionate.

Futuro Nativo has very well defined funding goals which complement each tribe’s unique needs and offerings. Visiting their website, you can see projects range from tree nurseries, educational events, to even creating online stores to distribute their artisanal crafts. Check out their project on Giveth.io to learn more about the projects of each tribe and to make a donation!

HNS Fund

Handshake Development Fund​

carries the banner for open-source software and the free decentralized web. The Handshake Development (HNS) Fund is the community funding the Handshake protocol and affiliated systems. HNS at its core is a system for distributing internet domain names using cryptocurrency technology. The HNS protocol website hits home the need for better domain name distribution framework:

“Names on the internet (top level domains, social networking handles, etc.) ultimately rely upon centralized actors with full control over a system which are relied upon to be honest, as they are vulnerable to hacking, censorship, and corruption. . . . Services on the internet have become more centralized beginning in the 1990s, but do not fulfill the original decentralized vision of the internet. . . . Centralization exists because there is a need to manage spam, griefing, and sockpuppet/sybil attacks. Previous decentralized systems largely stopped working due to spam. If it were more costly to grief on the internet using decentralized systems, the need for trusted centralized corporations to manage these risks decrease.”

HNS uses a token (aptly named HNS) to register domain names. Using these cryptographic tokens, participants can transfer and update their registered names. By creating a decentralized and accountable system, HNS (by way of its users) can inhibit a centralized actor from scooping up all the domain names. The HNS Fund seeks out donations to keep afloat their open-source tools, such as DNS records, domain registries, and educational content. Find their project on Giveth.io and make a donation to support HNS public goods!

Njome Innovation Academy

Njombe Innovation Academy​

is creating the next generation of African entrepreneurs in Njombe, Tanzania. Njombe Innovation Academy (NIA) is importing the Social Innovation Academy (SINA) educational model which began in Uganda. The premise of SINA is to invite members of marginalized african demographics with passion and ideas to a co-living experience to gain the entrepreneurial skills to make their dreams a reality. SINA has proven to be extremely successful, tackling prevailing African issues around failing education systems and corresponding unemployment rates. Njombe Innovation Academy profoundly lays out their Theory for Change:

“The desired impact (of NIA) is an increased number of social challenges tackled in Njombe by youth-led enterprises with locally available resources. . . . we will bootstrap a self-organised community of youth in Njombe who commonly owns(sic) and manages(sic) resources (material, knowledge, financial, social) to create social enterprises out of challenges . . . “

SINA communities have been spreading around the continent and Uganda is ready, more than ever, for it’s own local SINA node. NIA identifies that local youth unemployment hovers around 10% with more than 40% never completing secondary school. Crippling rates of malnutrition and HIV hamper the societal and economic growth of Njombe.

Njombe Innovation Academy has outlined a clear plan for kick-starting the local SINA community. The first step is to send 3 local youth from Njombe to Uganda to gain insight from the original SINA. Then, with supporting members and facilities, these successful graduates begin to train subsequent cohorts of entrepreneurs. In 2 years they are targeting to put over 50 youth through the local Njombe SINA program and generate nearly a dozen new enterprises as a result. 50% of these participants will be women and a further 15% will be people with disabilities. All participants will come from poverty based backgrounds.

To learn more of NIA milestones, their funding targets and to make a donation, visit their project on Giveth.io. NIA is also partnered with Giveth in Panvala’s Regenerative Commons Coalition, you can view their Panvala listing here.

Meme Manifesto

Meme Manifesto

The 21st century cultural phenomenon of memes has embedded itself firmly in the history of humankind. Meme Manifesto goes deep… deep, down the rabbit hole of memes as an ideological force and as a new medium of communicating complex, nuanced concepts. The project conveys itself as an amorphous transmedia project that will take various forms at various points of its evolution. The Manifesto itself expresses powerful reflections on meme culture:

“. . . we believe memes to be the latest iteration of the one true power that defines us as a species: the faculty to understand, interpret and alter our reality through linguistic and symbolic patterns of meaning. To understand this power means to hold the keys to control the uncertain grounds on which our common social world is constructed.”

Meme Manifesto
A snapshot of what to expect among the depths of the “meme iceberg”​

On the Meme Manifesto we bsite you can embark on a journey through the meme-sphere beginning from the nascent forms of memery, into the depths of niche cultural references and intricate memeified expressions. Prepare yourself, it’s a long way to the bottom. Donations made to this project will go to the artists who wrote and assembled the meme manifesto and its current representations. Check out Meme Manifesto’s project on Giveth.io to learn more of their philosophy and to make a donation.

Black Love Mural Festival

Black Love Mural Festival​

Held in downtown Denver, Colorado, The Black Love Mural Festival (BLMF) highlights prevailing issues in black society and the cultural anecdotes held within. It is also a celebration of the artistic talent of local black artists in Denver.

The festival itself was created from the momentum generated by the George Floyd protests with the first one taking place in 2020. In a collaboration between Rob The Art Museum and IRL Art, two local entities that organize community events and art exhibitions, they hosted 93 artists who painted murals all over the city, including around the state capital buildings.

Now their mission is to prepare for future BLMFs and transfer these works into the digital realm. In 2021, largely resulting from the circumstances of the pandemic, new portals are being created to bring the festival to the blockchain. Several dozen artists have had their works minted as NFTs, to be preserved digitally. BLMF strongly believes that blockchain holds the solutions to empower minority groups and artists with the tools for a better future.

Funding received on the BLMF project will go to the volunteer team who not only pay gas in Ethereum to mint NFTs for artists but also continue to educate the BLMF artist community on using blockchain and the Ethereum network. Check out their project on Giveth.io and make a donation to support black art in Denver!

Black Love Mural Festival

Permaculture Action Network​

is a North American collective that orchestrates action on environmentally regenerative programs. Utilizing music, culture, and art they have mobilized hands to create and maintain localized nodes of permaculture in over 65 cities for the last 5 years. In more concrete terms, this is executed via Permaculture Action Days; an event which organizes various activities including workshops and discussion panels, often in partnership with local music festivals or cultural events. During the event, participants are channeled to aid in the construction of permaculture infrastructure, such as community gardens, rainwater catchment systems and greenhouses.

The heart of activity during the event is the Permaculture Action Hub. This is the physical place which brings in curious festival attendees to learn a wide variety of subjects, ranging from alternative economies to mushroom cultivation.

Also featured during Action Days are Permaculture Action Courses. These are free, hands-on classes that teach regenerative ecological techniques and socio-economic structures for individuals and communities.

Adapting to the pandemic, the Permaculture Action Network has begun building their next interactive tool: the Just Transition Map. This map will show locations of community spaces and projects that are creating better alternatives to the current extractive economy. This will be a tool for the global environmental justice movement to coordinate and create action. Donations to Permaculture Action Network will help them build the Just Transition Map and to allow the network’s programs to persist through the pandemic. Check out their project on Giveth.io and make a donation to support permaculture education and environmentally regenerative tools.

That’s a wrap on this edition of the community project spotlight: Six unique projects bringing new dimensions of insight and change into the world! Want to get more eyes on your project? Coming soon on Giveth, we’ll be launching a rewards system for donors who contribute to verified projects. Learn more or apply to get verified today.

Wow, what an exciting month it’s been since our last update. The crypto market is hitting all-time highs across the board, there’s no better time to spread the joy and make some donations to projects that are working hard to make positive changes.

Project spotlight Time!

We’ve got another fresh batch of five projects that we’re featuring in this fourth edition of the Community Project Spotlight. But first, we’ve got some big news! 1Hive let the cat out of the bag and gave a sneak peek of the GIVeconomy launch. Tune-in to get the insider scoop on some of the details and the UI.

Expect to hear more about the GIVeconomy in the coming weeks ;) Now let’s dive into some awesome projects that are live giveth.io!

UPF coin

UPF Coin​

We all know plastic is a problem, its impact on the environment cannot be overstated. Untangling our relationship, as humans, with plastic will be one of the great challenges of our time. UPF Coin is a project by Unplastify which, as the name implies, is on a mission to put the brakes on our consumption of plastic. Unplastify is based out of Argentina and the USA, and provides a wide range of educational and practical activities promoting unplastification.

Their primary area of interest is the crippling effects of plastic waste in our oceans. To that end in 2018 they embarked on an epic oceanic adventure where the team took off on a sailboat named “Fanky” across the Atlantic and back, collecting plastic samples and researching impacts and alternatives to plastic. Their voyage took them from the ports of New York City all the way to Corsica and back across the pond to Buenos Aires, Argentina. You can check out more of the work unplastify does on their website.

The UPF Coin project introduces the powerful realities of blockchain and tokenization to their noble cause. At the heart of this lies a proprietary UPF blockchain which operates on a “proof of unplastify work” to distribute UPF coins. Every coin minted represents one tonne of avoided plastic consumption. Unplastification work done will be human validated by the UPF team. They plan to have a working blockchain and 25 UPF coins emitted by the end of this quarter! That’s 25 tonnes of plastic mitigated. Donations to their project will help them research and fund the deployment of the UPF token economy. Check out UPF Coin on giveth.io and make a donation!

Positive Blockchain

Positive Blockchain​

With an ever-increasing emergence of ‘blockchain-for-good’ projects, how can anyone keep up with all these amazing high vibes? Positive Blockchain is building the data-driven solution, having created the database for the blockchain-for-good universe. They maintain an impressive library of philanthropic blockchain project profiles that allow anyone to find projects working on causes they care about.

Positive Blockchain keeps track of the status of each project, whether they are in conception, began development or have already launched. From their Impact Dashboard you can make a wide range of queries and see statistics of what projects are working on. They use the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals as part of the base metrics for querying projects. From the Social Impact Map you can see the distribution of blockchain-for-good projects worldwide.

They are asking for donations to expand their network of partners, maintain their databases and source out professional assistance in their tasks. If an excessive amount of funds are raised they will put them to expanding their network of projects in Africa. Visit the Positive Blockchain website and check out their project on giveth.io to make a donation!

CineFi Network

CineFi Network​

Coming soon to a blockchain near you! …

The decentralization of the film industry stands to be a great boon for artists, producers, actors and viewers alike. The game-changing dynamics of blockchain are pervasive across an expansive list of modern industries. CineFi is introducing a platform to revolutionize funding and revenue streams from film-making.

The CineFi Network begins with artists submitting proposals for films they’re inspired to create. A CineFi token (CINE) will be the medium through which users can interact with proposals and films. Platform users can decide whether or not to invest funds (CINE) into bringing the film proposals into fruition. If the film reaches its funding goal a fractilized NFT is generated which represents proportional rights to creators and investors of the film, guaranteeing a cut of the revenues generated. The platform also allows users to stream or purchase these decentrally financed films with the same CINE tokens.

By this novel system, CineFi effectively allows for real-time community signalling for what films they want to see made. Thanks to Blockchain technology, creators and artists can more transparently navigate the terms on which they share revenues generated from their works. The blockchain becomes the final source of truth for where the fractalized NFTs are distributed, where funding comes from and where revenues go.

According to the CineFi website we can hope to see film proposals rolling in by around mid-2022. Checkout CineFi Network on giveth.io to make a donation!

Good Work Foundation

Good Work Foundation​

Access to modern education programmes in rural communities has always proved to be challenging; resources, budgeting and infrastructure all play a role. In Africa, these challenges create troubling disparities between populations. The Good Work Foundation (GWF) is focused on closing this gap and raising the bar. They have created a wide range of educational programmes with a focus on digital literacy. The programmes offered go from primary school students all the way to post-secondary specialized training for adults.

On Giveth, GWF is raising funds particularly for their Open Learning Academy programme, which focuses on young students in rural South Africa. On the project page they mention the staggering statistics they’re grappling with:

“In rural South Africa, of 100 South African children that start school, approximately 60 will reach and write matric (high-school graduation exam), 37 will pass, and 12 will access university. This crippling problem will be even more exacerbated going into 2022.”

The programme intends to reach over 9,000 students from grade 4 to 8 in the municipality of Bushbuckridge in South Africa. The Open Learning Academy allows rural schools to outsource coding, robotics and digital literacy programmes to the GWF learning centre. The programme intends to support existing curriculums, rather than diverge from them, allowing participating children to build relevant skills to continue their education. You can learn more about GWF and their other programmes on their website. Be sure to check out their project on giveth.io and make a donation to support rural African education!

Co-funding the DAOist

Co-funding the DAOist​

The Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), as a concept, is reforging the archaic methods of how we organize and govern as humans. DAOs represent not just a technological blockchain breakthrough, but also a cultural force to be reckoned with. DAOs in effect allow organizations to form organically and continually evolve, leaning on blockchain transparency and computer-aided governance systems. The technology we use to create DAOs is constantly iterating upon itself however we as humans remain as the constant base layer, “Layer 0”.

The DAOist is a DAO (aptly so) that intends to capture this social phenomenon and to incubate resulting ideas, collaboration and cultural practices. This takes form as live and virtual events held around existing events in the Ethereum community. They host conferences where DAO champions can come and share experience and knowledge and to build partnerships with other value-aligned communities.

Their first event was in Paris for EthCC4 in July of 2021. It was a huge success and the people demanded more, so they hosted a second one in Lisbon, in October, of the same year. Their instant success has only proven that there’s a real desire to open up a space for DAOs to share and learn. To that end, they want to create educational spaces, physical and virtual, to empower DAOs. They are also in the process of defining their DAO structure. The DAOist is seeking funds in order to continue to host events and to create a year-round space for DAO enthusiasts to meet, collaborate and learn. Check out their project on giveth.io to make a donation!

That’s a wrap for this one! Five projects shaking things up in our virtual and physical worlds. The digital realms being constructed are only becoming more ground-breaking and people are taking notice. Digital technology, particularly blockchain, is poised to revolutionize a wealth of domains, from education, arts, the environment, to even the fundamentals of how we organize.

Keep your eyes peeled for more details on the next phase of Giveth, it’s going to be BIG! Of course, we’ll have more projects to spotlight soon enough so watch this space.

How Decentralized Giving could have helped (and will help) increase Transparency and avoid Cases like Oxfam’s Scandal

· 8 min read

Oxfam, consistently rated one of the best NGOs in the world and a household name in most western countries, is mired in a scandal over allegedly abusing of both people and funds in Haiti during the aid mission deployed after the hurricane Harvey. Not only this, but it is also accused of its employees exchanging aid for sexual favours, plain and simple sexual abuse. The case has opened the door for a cry of the nonprofit sector to uncover and denounce these practises, which seem to be more common than one would think.

Transparency and accountability in charitable donations have been put in check after the scandal broke out, with the International Development Secretary of the UK announcing a big audit of the organizations funded by public money, under threat of cutting the funding if their standards are not met. Presumably, such an audit will be expensive and will not bring much to light, as the system is fundamentally opaque, spending more taxpayers’ money that could be dedicated to social impact projects.

Despite some challenges, I genuinely believe that almost every person working in the development sector is in it to help other people and that they do the best they can. Until now, we didn’t have tools that allowed for a different governance and management of large amounts of aid funds… but now we do.

Campaign-based giving

Nowadays, one gives money to an organization and must trust them to use it properly. The money is given a priori, being a grant from the government, from a granting organization or from individuals. Once the money is in their bank account, it’s -by design of how the banking system works- opaque to external people: we must trust them again to have proper procedures in place to avoid mismanagement of such funds i.e. “Caligula orgy with prostitutes in Oxfam T-shirts”.

With Giveth you will be able to see how the project is laid out, Milestone by Milestone, and how much money is required for each and every part. If a Milestone is not achieved, or the Milestone Reviewers (more on this category of validators shortly) perceive misconduct, 1) this Milestone will not be approved and paid out and 2) the Reviewer can decide to send all of the unspent funds back to the original Givers to be donated to other projects.

The most common issue raised here is: what happens if the Milestone Reviewer(s) is/are ‘greased’ by the Milestone Manager to approve an underachieved Milestone or to turn a blind eye on inappropriate behaviour? I see this as an excellent opportunity to bring together agents that have no special interest in colluding: a grassroots organization, the local community leadership, the government and an independent observer. One could decide that all of these need to agree on the validation and submit proof, similar to the videos used in Giveth’s RewardDAO. Technically, since the figure of the Reviewer is just an Ethereum address, it can be a contract, it could be a multisig wallet held by these relevant stakeholders. Another, if slightly more complex, setup is that a percentage of all Givers to a Campaign need to approve the Milestone after reviewing proof. Using a Liquid Democracy governance system here would naturally concentrate voting power in people that are reputable and are perceived to be neutral in this particular Campaign or even Milestone.

I see this as a side benefit of Giveth’s Campaigns: the need to be in constant communication with Milestone Reviewers and Campaign Managers creates — apart from transparency — a true Community where problems are openly discussed and input comes from all sides, because everyone has stake in the game.

Communities solving problems

Thinking of the bigger picture, how can we really shake the giving ‘industry’ awake? Without questioning the expertise and indubitable economies of scale and know-how transfer of the big International NGOs, Giveth enables another sort of organization: The DAC, the Decentralized Altruistic Community. Can we do better than just trust Oxfam (or any equivalent INGO) to drop out of the air and deploy their tactics? The Giveth platform can be used for validation of Campaigns and Milestones, but … maybe we could go a step further.

Imagine the creation of a true DAC in Haiti, conformed by Givers, people on the ground (the ‘Makers’) and even representation of the INGOs, all communicating with each other and through an agreed form of governance that works to pledge resources the right way. This way we can make sure that Oxfam’s expertise is allocated where it can impact the most, in constant communication with other stakeholders and with fully transparent decision making.

You get some decision power, you get some more, and you get some too!

Does it sound complicated? After all, you are not an expert in Haiti… maybe you’ve never even been there! How are you supposed to choose where to pledge funds or to know which Campaigns are going to be the most impactful? Giveth has got you covered. With Liquid Pledging, a concept derived from liquid democracy, you can delegate the choice of your donations to Communities you perceive as experts: this can be an influential development group — Oxfam if you really must!- but also your former roommate’s social impact group, which was really into this ‘making a better world’ thing. You delegate to a DAC, and it can send your donation to its chosen Campaign, a lot like how charity is supposed to work nowadays, but with much more oversight. You will be able to track your donation, veto any decisions the delegates make and get connected to the people/communities running the Campaigns you will be funding.

Once you start down the rabbit hole, the possibilities are endless: You can delegate half of your pledged funds to a DAC specializing in disaster relief, which in turn will fund some trusted Campaigns for smaller specific problems. The other half you can delegate to your favourite Campaign focusing on improving education in your hometown or even to another DAC that brings together all education projects in your area. Be as local or global as you want!

Help us solve the challenges

The future is near. But not quite here yet, as this is not happening now. The main challenges are

  • Scalablity of the crypto ecosystem. Let’s face it, maybe we are not quite there yet. And I am not even speaking of unpredictable transaction fees raising the cost of donating and transactions not going through: Liquid Pledging is a complicated system that requires a lot of gas. Luckily Giveth has a good stop-gap solution.

If you are a Dev and/or working on scalability solutions, have a look at what ScalingNOW is doing here and join us in building the future of Ethereum!

  • Liquid pledging would benefit greatly from some sort of identity on the blockchain, integrated with governance tools like AragonOS. The UI/UX for most of these applications remains outside of the control of most individuals, let alone organizations in the humanitarian sector who shouldn’t have to focus on the technical side and should be able to interface seamlessly with the platform(s).

Our Social Coding circle pushes Open Source projects like BrightID for Proof-of-Identity and other great projects. Read more about them here!

  • Bridge Crypto — Fiat. How do you deal with international crypto transfers and especially the conversion of ETH (or whatever cryptocurrency Campaigns receive as donations) to fiat in order to pay for the expenses of the Campaigns?

If you are working on projects that are building solutions for the last mile, please get in touch!

  • There are also many unanswered questions around taxation for the organizations deploying the Campaigns. They are receiving donations in crypto currencies and how this is to be treated is not well defined for taxation in most jurisdictions right now.

If you are a lawyer and/or have good resources on the regulatory aspect, please hit me up or leave them in the comments!

Join our community: by tackling interesting problems like this one you can help us positively impact charitable giving forever!

What if giving gave back? Using web3 to evolve philanthropy.

· 8 min read
Lauren

The Giveth mission is to reward & empower those who give — to projects, to society, and to the world. With GIVbacks, we’re rewarding givers by giving GIV to donors to verified projects on Giveth.

what if giving gave back

Web3 and, specifically, Ethereum have the potential to revolutionize the philanthropic space. We have the tools to open new funding streams and create economic abundance for everyone who is providing value to society.

Clean air, clear water, bridges, roads, free childcare, public education, taking care of the less fortunate — these are all examples of public goods that, when governments fail to provide them, we look to non-profits to create and care for. For funding, we have been relying on donors to give to these non-profits and receive nothing in return. Society has been depending on and ultimately exploiting the altruists who are working hard to protect and provide for our collective needs.

GIVbacks is a paradigm shift for the donation space. For the first time ever, there is an economic upside to donating.

givbacks meme

GIVbacks is the first step towards a world in which everyone benefits from creating value: when you give to verified projects, 100% of your donation goes directly to the project, and you get GIV from Giveth!

With over 900 verified projects on Giveth, donors can find projects that speak to their values and get rewarded for giving. Verified projects benefit from the extra traffic on Giveth & can use this program to attract new donors who are willing to support their initiatives.

The Big Picture​

Before we get into the fine details of exactly how the GIVbacks program works, let me walk you through the big picture that is the “why”.

Projects should feel good about raising funds for their project​

Charity has traditionally created a dynamic where projects who do good work to benefit society have to beg for funds to make the world a better place. On the flip side, donors are being asked to sacrifice — to give without expecting anything in return.

givbacks meme

GIVbacks is changing that. Donors have the opportunity to support projects they believe in, get GIV in return, and start or increase their GIVstream. They can use that GIV to grow their rewards by, for example, staking in the GIVfarm. It’s a win/win: Projects benefit from receiving 100% of the donation, and donors benefit by earning GIV and becoming part of the Giveth ecosystem.

GIVbacks gives governance power to the donors using Giveth​

givbacks meme

Giveth is of the donors, by the donors, and for the donors. Our GIVdrop was sent to the Blockchain4good community — and particularly crypto donors & Giveth users — because we wanted to kickstart the GIVeconomy with value-aligned GIVers. Now, as the economy expands, we want the donors who are using the platform and giving to causes they care about to get proportionally increasing governance power. With GIVbacks, the more you give, the more GIV you get, and that GIV can be used in the GIVgarden to decide which proposals get funded to expand the GIVeconomy.

GIVbacks are like tax-deductible donations but without governments and borders​

givbacks meme

Let’s face it, tax-deductible donations can be a bit of a headache. Nonprofit projects have to cut through miles of red tape and donors have to do accounting each year, saving associated paperwork for some arbitrary number of years.

GIVbacks provides a similar end, but cuts the bureaucracy. If a project can prove they are legitimately adding value to society, they can become a verified project in the GIVbacks program, no matter what their legal or DAO structure is. If a donor is moved by a verified project’s work, they can give and receive GIV in return, no matter where (or if) they pay taxes. No need to save receipts or paperwork for fear of getting audited. Web3 makes it so that we don’t need governments and taxes to make this kind of system. We can transcend borders to connect people with projects anywhere in the world!

GIVbacks educates community members about web3​

givbacks meme

The long-term vision of Giveth is to enable for-good projects to use token engineering and DAO coordination on the ground. GIVbacks is the first step towards achieving this goal. With GIVbacks, ordinary donors start learning about and getting curious about DAO tools like token streams, DeFi and token-weighted voting. Furthermore, when donors get GIV, they are naturally inclined to donate it! In GIVbacks round 1, 75% of the total value of donations to verified projects on our platform were in GIV.

With the GIVbacks program, both donors and projects receive GIV and start looking into how to grow their earnings, swiftly falling down the web3 rabbit hole via giveth.io.

GIVbacks will evolve into a system that transforms successful projects into DAOs and donors into impact investors​

givbacks meme

GIVbacks as it is today is the first step on a path to expand Giveth into a place where nonprofits can become microeconomies. Next, we plan to introduce GIVcuration — a system where users can stake their GIV on projects they care about, signaling support while earning a yield. A successful project in the GIVcuration system will eventually be able to get its own GIV-collateralized bonding curve, called a ‘Gurve’.

When donors support a project with a Gurve, their GIVbacks get split: they get some GIV, and some GIV goes into the Gurve, minting the donor ‘project tokens’, thereby increasing the price of the project tokens.

Before getting a Gurve, a project will need to set up a rewards system to distribute their ‘reputation tokens’ to volunteers and on-the-ground supporters. When their Gurve is initialized, those reputation tokens turn into ‘project tokens’, and the project can use token-weighted voting systems to govern their donations.

With Gurves, a successful project on Giveth will be able to become a sustainable DAO, governing its own economy, with its supporters as stakeholders and donors as impact investors!

The Fine Details​

So how exactly does this program work? Well, it makes use of a system for verifying projects on Giveth, and tracks donations to those projects in 2 week “rounds”. Let’s dig into the details.

Verified Projects​

“Verified” is a seal of approval for legitimate projects on Giveth. Many Verified projects came pre-vetted from The Giving Block API. The Giving Block is an organization that supports and onboards registered 501c3s from the United States into crypto, and with our integration you can donate to their projects from the Giveth UI.

For non-Giving Block projects, project owners need to fill out a typeform and answer some questions. Verified Projects need to show that they are doing work to create non-excludable value for society and that they have some reputation at stake that would prevent them from gaming or manipulating the GIVbacks program for personal gain.

Our amazing Project Verification Team then reviews these applications, investigates the information provided & informs the project owners about the verdict. Approved projects will have their Verified badges at the start of the very next GIVbacks round. You can learn more about the project verification process and qualifying/disqualifying factors in our GIVbacks documentation.

verified badge

Getting your project verified builds a relationship of trust with your donors by demonstrating your project’s legitimacy and showing that the funds are being used to create positive change.

GIVbacks Rounds​

GIVbacks rounds are 2 week periods wherein all donations to verified projects are tracked and recorded in our database. At the end of a round, our team reviews the donations and calculates the amount of GIV to send to each donor. Note that recipient addresses of verified projects on Giveth do not get GIVbacks for their donations. This is to prevent recirculating funds and other fraudulent activity.

Once the distribution has been determined, and any suspicious activity has been resolved, reputation DAO token holders vote to approve the allocation. You can see the votes to distribute GIVbacks for each round in our forum here. When the vote passes, donors are notified via email that their GIVbacks are ready to claim from the GIVbacks page.

givbacks round example

Every 2 weeks, there is 1 million GIV available to give back to donors!

Until December 23, 2026 donors who get GIV from GIVbacks are able to claim some part immediately upon distribution, and some part added to their GIVstream flowrate. With the GIVstream, donors who give to verified projects on Giveth get more GIV continuously as the GIViverse expands.

GIVbacks is the next generation of philanthropy where, using the power of web3, we can transform legacy systems that require those who give to sacrifice, into ones where giving actually gives back.

Join the revolution, donate to a verified project today.​

Two Flavors of Giveth.. Which One to Choose?

Giveth TRACE and Giveth.io landing pages​

A new DApp for Giveth has launched! WOW! Much Excite! The pre-existing Giveth henceforth will be known as Giveth TRACE. The new Giveth.io Donation Application is an important continuation of our mission to build the future of giving. Both iterations will continue to exist and do contain different features. In this article we’ll be diving into the nitty gritty to help you decide which version of Giveth will aid you the most on your philanthropic venture.

TL;DR ←​

Three key distinguishers of the Giveths are: Trust, User Experience, and Scope. Let’s dive in.

Trust

First up let’s talk about Trust. Giveth TRACE (Originally Giveth Beta) was launched in 2017. Following the great DAO hack from the previous year, the burning question at the time was: how do we make these new decentralized innovations resilient and trustworthy? Giveth itself was on the frontlines of these events and set out to solve these issues.

Giveth TRACE employs smart contracts to handle various transparency-oriented functions of the platform. These interactions happen on the blockchain, including traceable donations, escrow, and dispersal of funds. It uses Milestones for specific projects or goals that can have conditions outlined for funds to be released. An example would be to prove work was done on a project or that money was spent to acquire something specific. The milestone contract is employed to act as an escrow. A milestone creator can designate a recipient other than themselves and also a reviewer. The reviewer of a milestone is responsible to assure that any stated expectations were completed before authorizing the smart contract to release the funds to the recipient.

The new Giveth DApp does not use smart contracts to facilitate donations but instead provides a true peer-to-peer experience where funds go directly from donor to receiver. The resulting transaction is eternally scribed onto the blockchain. There are no escrow or reviewer functions on the Giveth.io DApp so while donations are much more direct, you are encouraged to do your due diligence before donating.

User Experience

Following the rise of ‘cryptokitties’ and the mooning of the price of ETH in 2018, the Rinkeby test network was implemented on Giveth TRACE to resolve absurd gas fees and scalability issues. This allows users to interact with smart contracts on the Dapp for no actual fees, using only gas on Rinkeby to execute the majority of contract transactions. In fact, Giveth actually pays the fees to send your donations to mainnet.

“The Rise and Fall of Ethereum circa 2018 AD”

Image Source: medium.com​

Profile creation on Giveth TRACE is facilitated by smart contract interactions on Rinkeby and is reasonably straightforward, however is currently limited to MetaMask. Giveth TRACE currently allows donations in ETH, DAI, PAN, WBTC and USDC.

Giveth.io has expanded giving capabilities by allowing donations in ETH and any ERC-20 Token on Mainnet and xDai network! The Giveth.io DApp uses Onboard.js to permit virtually any Ethereum wallet to be used for donations. Project creation has been streamlined, so creators can sign-in, make a project and start collecting funds literally in minutes. For creating a profile you may choose between standard MetaMask login or Torus Wallet. Torus Wallet also provides a crypto on-ramping feature so you can convert your cold-hard cash into cryptocurrency very easily and get to donating in the digital age. More Info on Torus wallet can be found here.

Scope

Scope is the last, but perhaps coolest, distinction I want to mention. Giveth TRACE has huge scope: its donation hierarchy is broken down into Communities (formerly known as DACs), Campaigns, and Milestones. Donations made to Communities and Campaigns are stored in a ‘pledge’ vault. The Community or Campaign manager can then delegate your pledge into the Campaign or Milestone, respectively, of their choosing. This system created by Giveth has coined the term ‘Liquid Pledging’ and in effect allows for curated donor funds. This means would-be donors can make non-custodial contributions to causes that they care about and funds can find their way to the right place at the right time. Once your funds have been delegated you’re able to track where they went on Giveth TRACE.

Giveth.io Dapp aims to provide a simpler experience. While not achieving the same scope of Giveth TRACE it is much easier to navigate. Donations made on Giveth.io go straight A → B and the project owners themselves dictate the scope by the projects they choose to create.

To Summarize:

Giveth TRACE​

  • Allows for donations on macro and micro levels via Communities, Campaigns, and Milestones
  • Has a system of oversight to prevent misuse or fraud
  • Donations accepted in ETH, DAI, PAN, WBTC, and USDC
  • Curated Donor Funds via ‘Liquid Pledging’
  • Giveth doesn’t charge any fees, in fact we pay the fees to send funds to the recipient
  • Works with MetaMask

Giveth.io​

  • Streamlined project creation accessible for all
  • Multi-wallet functionality
  • Peer-to-peer transactions
  • Giveth doesn’t charge any fees
  • Fiat donations via Torus On-ramping
  • ETH and ERC-20 token donations
  • Donate on xDai and save on gas

The new Giveth is straightforward if you’re looking to make simple donations peer to peer without any added complexity but with more connectivity. Giveth TRACE allows you to define how broad or narrow your donations are while maintaining a high standard of transparency and checks on fund flow. Each has specific advantages in terms of collecting donations. Check out both and decide which flavor suits your taste; Giveth TRACE or Giveth.io.

Edit: for the current status of the development, more recent updates here

If you ever talked to a Giveth Unicorn chances are high we did not let you go before you understood what Giveth is all about — we’re a passionate bunch. If you haven’t met people like Griff Green, Jordi Baylina, Grace Torrellas, Vojtech Simetka and the many other great faces contributing to the Giveth Platform you might wonder what it is exactly we’re building and why.

To put it plain and simple: we want to make the process of giving to causes you believe in effective and transparent, and we are using blockchain technology to do so. In October 2016 the team started developing the DApp (Donation Application) and is now coming closer to the release of its Minimum Viable Product (MVP). In the build-up to this, we would like to take a moment to explain why we are creating the platform and give you a sneak peak of the user flow.

Wait, but why?

If you have ever donated to non-profits or charitable organizations chances are high your experience was similar to this one: on your way to the metro you got stopped by a convincing youth who got your name, mailing address and signature for a fixed monthly donation to a specific cause. Since that moment, a few times per year — if you’re lucky — you receive an old-school newsletter which you throw away without reading. You are left entirely in the dark about where your donation went, and the non-profit receives a monthly amount until you decide to cancel.

Giveth changes all this. As all donations are recorded on the Ethereum blockchain you can follow, in real-time, who gets your donations and why at a very granular level.

The Giveth platform has a simple result-based incentive structure: when funds are collected they are stored in our Vault and only after Milestones are completed, can the funds be withdrawn. The Giver’s funds are under their control until their donations are locked for a specific purpose.

This basic structure gives them a clear view on the various people involved in the process and the possibility to contact everyone directly. And if they don’t like what their funds are intended to be used for, they have time to block its use.

We are building the Future of Giving by cutting out the bureaucracy so that funds can be spent more efficiently and everyone can collaborate in making the world a better place.

Talk the Talk

We are re-engineering how donations are made, and with it, we had to reinvent the language to talk about it. The 3 key building blocks of the Giveth system are Communities (DACs), Campaigns and Milestones. A DAC — short for Decentralized Altruistic Community — is the group of people united around a cause they want to support. This DAC will fund and steer multiple Campaigns, which can in their turn also be supported by more than one DAC. A Campaign translates the dreams of a DAC into a more specific agenda to which action points are linked: we call these the Milestones. Milestones are the smallest entity within the Giveth system and are the last step in our donation flow. Once completed, the funds are released into the wild to reimburse and reward good people for their good work.

Building Blocks of Giveth
The 3 key building blocks of Giveth are Communities (DACs), Campaigns and Milestones.​

We focus on the technology so people can focus entirely on uniting around causes. In order to do so, we need to define some of the basic roles in our system.

A Giver can donate directly to a Campaign they believe in, or can decide to pledge funds to a DAC that will allocate these funds to appropriate Campaigns in the Giver’s name — we call this process Liquid pledging. By donating, the Giver automatically becomes part of the DAC and is connected with the rest of the community.

The Delegates are registered DAC members that take on the task of allocating funds sent to their DAC to one or more Campaigns.

The Makers are all the people within these campaigns making the change the DACs want to see in the world. There are a few specific roles the Makers have to fulfill.

  • The Campaign Managers are the Makers that create Campaigns, assign funds to specific Milestones and make sure their specific Campaign is a success.
  • The Milestone Managers are the Makers in charge of specific Milestones and need to assure these very specific actions are achieved as described.
  • The Recipients are the Makers that receive the funds when a Milestone is successfully completed.
Giveth Roles
Main roles within the Giveth Platform: Giver, Delegate, Campaign Manager, Milestone Manager, Recipient.​

Two additional roles have been created to guarantee the correct usage of funds.

  • The Campaign Reviewer can reject completion of any Milestone and can, as a strong security measure, even cancel a whole Campaign if it appears to be fraudulent.
  • The Milestone Reviewer’s role is to confirm the Milestone Manager really achieved the proposed goal or action described in the Milestone.

This brings us to the true power of the Giveth platform: at all times the Giver knows exactly what is happening to the donated funds, how these are being spent and is in full control through a transparent network of accountabilities. If a Milestone is canceled, the funds are returned to the Campaign. If a Campaign is canceled, the funds are automatically returned to the Delegates that supported it. If a Delegate quits, the funds are returned to the Giver. On top of this, one of the most revolutionary aspects of this system is that at any point up until the moment funds are locked into a Campaign, the Giver can decide to withdraw them.

Giveth Additonal Roles
Two extra roles guarantee the correct usage of funds: Campaign Reviewer and Milestone Reviewer.​

You can discover more about these roles and responsibilities by reading on in the product definition on our wiki.

Walk the Walk

The Giveth Donation Application is now in beta stage on testnet, with all of the roles described above integrated, and currently undergoing testing with a select team of volunteers.

Giveth co-founder Griff Green explains what the Giveth Donation Application is about.​

We always have opportunities for skilled developers to contribute to our project, and you can donate to `revolution.eth` to reward and incentivize the devs that are making the Giveth platform a reality. Please join our Slack and find out how you can contribute.

In the meantime, we will keep on building the platform and will share in the coming weeks and months how the different components work. Stay tuned for more!

Connections

The world is changing at a rapid pace. Gone are the days where you could work 30 years at a company, then get a fancy watch and a golden handshake into retirement. The industrial revolution of the early 1800’s brought more people out of the country and into factories and workshops, attracted by better pay.

And while offices were growing in number back then, it wasn’t until the 20th century that office culture became a mainstream phenomenon. Now with the arrival of the internet and, more recently, blockchain we are seeing another shift in the way people work.

At The Bounties Network and Giveth Social Coding we decided to collaborate on this topic. So we recently posed and posted a question about The Future of Work:

“If you love your employees let them go, to Thailand, to school, to a sabbatical where ever they might choose. The constraints placed on us today in the working economy are unreasonable and completely unconducive to personal growth, truth, happiness and workplace fulfilment.”

Today we’re going to integrate some of the responses from that post to get a better idea of how the future of work may look like.

Location, Location, Location

The company of the future is no longer bound by company walls or even country borders for that matter. Employers are starting to understand that sourcing the best talent at the right price is more important than where they are located. Poster Jose Aguinaga highlights this about his international company:

In our company, we are roughly 15+ employees/designers all over the world. We have people from Mexico City to New Zealand, in Vancouver and Sofia. We started in Switzerland, and have embraced a decentralized workspace from day 1.

Many jobs these days only require a laptop and a good internet connection

The internet ushered in the digital economy and a huge percentage of job postings these days are looking for digital skills. The obvious benefit of this is that you can work remotely just about anywhere you have a computer and a decent internet connection.

Jose goes on to explain, however, that remote working is not for everybody. It requires discipline, flexibility, and a sense of responsibility that may not suit everyone’s personality. Some workers are just not cut out for that kind of independence. To be clear, many jobs still require us to be in the same space. But in the future, we will be able to solve many of the problems that come with trying to cram so many people into big cities.

Working in Tune with Your Own Rhythms

Let’s expand on that a bit. As many of you will know, working a 9–5 job in a major city can be a real headache. With worldwide populations continuing to grow, it’s not unheard of to hear people spend 2–3 hours every day commuting to work. But now many companies are starting to wake up to the fact that many tasks are not time-specific. Do you really need to be in the office at 9 to respond to client emails for an hour?

In addition, employees are not robots (most anyway) and do not function with on/off switches. Every worker is unique and possesses strengths and weaknesses. People produce their best work at various times of the day. User Brad highlighted this in his post with the following words:

It has been repeatedly shown that creative and intelligent minds are more likely to be night owls, and unlikely to stay tied down to one place for long periods of time.

Now whether or not that fits your profile is irrelevant. Some people love the early morning hours and take the afternoon off. Some work perfectly in the 9–5 structure. Others, as Brad suggests, work well into the night when the peace and quiet provide plenty of opportunities to get work done.

To add to that, most workers would agree that one of the most important aspects of a job is a healthy working environment. Happy employees are productive workers. Poster Bount_Hunter highlights this well in his/her post:

If the person you want to do X job for you is happier to be doing it a 8pm -4 am in Malaysia vs 9–5 in chicago their work will always be better. We’ve all worked jobs we HATE (i’m currently doing that now) and you don’t get the best work from people who are working jobs they don’t like.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations

It should come as no surprise then that decentralized organizations are springing up everywhere. And blockchain is pioneering this effort with projects dedicated to making that kind of a future a reality. Take Aragon for example, a project aimed at breaking down traditional borders and intermediaries.

In the modern world, much of the existing business value is captured by those at the top of the pyramid. It’s a little sad then that many of the people creating that value don’t actually get rewarded for doing so. The workplace of tomorrow will flatten these management structures and allow the value to be distributed more evenly.

Take this very article for example. It was crowd-sourced and funded from contributors around the world using a decentralized application. What could be more empowering than allowing employees to have an active stake and say in the company and process from the get-go?

Closing Thoughts: The Future of Work

It’s sometimes hard to see a change in the future of work since we’ve been following a centralized hierarchical office model for many years now. The only thing we can be certain of is change. Those that embrace it are usually the ones who reap the most rewards in the new economy.

Finally, to highlight the real-life change we are facing as work evolves, let me tell you a little about my own history. I am a South African who is dating a German who lives in the Netherlands. My mother is Italian and I work part-time for an American company. Borders are completely artificial constructions of man. The human spirit doesn’t want to be tied down by the rules of a few men sitting in an office somewhere. The future of work is exciting. The future of work is decentralized.

Are you ready to join us in the distributed work space? Head on over to The Bounties Network and say hello. Or even better, take on a bounty for yourself. We’re not just looking for programmers and computer scientists. We need communication people, project managers, writers, graphic designers, cheerleaders and more!

The Future of Giving is Here

· 3 min read
Lauren

We are very excited to announce the launch of Giveth at giveth.io — a free, open-source donation application for community philanthropy featuring an all-new UI/UX.

Photo by Giveth​

Giveth is known for being radically transparent, community-owned and community-driven. Our flagship DApp (live for 3 years at beta.giveth.io) is now being rebranded as “Giveth TRACE”. Giveth TRACE offers a platform for peer-to-peer donations on the blockchain with detailed traceability for “Givers” and mutual aid projects. However, it does require some knowledge of Ethereum and wallet management.

With the new Giveth, project owners anywhere in the world can publish an online profile and start accepting donations within minutes.

Both Torus and MetaMask wallets are fully integrated into the DApp, meaning that a blockchain newbie can create a wallet with Torus by signing in via social media as easily as the crypto-savvy can sign in with their MetaMask browser extension. Torus integration also means that Giveth is compatible with mobile and a wide range of desktop browsers.

Once logged in, a “Maker” can follow the highly intuitive step-by-step project creation flow and begin raising funds in crypto right away with zero fees added by Giveth.

100% of every donation goes directly to the project. This way, together, we can make the world a better place.

We have really made it easy for you to give to the regenerative projects you love! Anyone can become a Giver simply by clicking donate and connecting to their preferred wallet. New to crypto? No worries! Torus integration makes it possible for you to top-up your crypto wallet easily with fiat.

For all Givers, to save and track your donations you need only to sign in with Torus or MetaMask and all that you give will be visible in your account. Your generosity shall be forever immortalized transparently on the Ethereum blockchain!

Screenshot taken from Giveth​

At Giveth we are committed to building the future of giving based on feedback from you, our community.

In the next months as we continue to hone the user experience and squash any bugs we encounter while on-boarding new projects, we want to hear what we can do better to make Giveth the best user-friendly DApp for peer-to-peer donations.

So head over to giveth.io, try it out for yourself, and let us know what you think!

The Giveth DAO: Community GIVernance

· 12 min read
Dani

Giveth has a long history of experimentation in the decentralized governance realms.

Before becoming a DAO (with a DAF), Giveth fund allocation was administered by a Unicorn DAC — A Decentralized Altruistic Community — trying out new ways of governing the build and use of our DApp (Donation Application).

rGIV Trace Header

Decisions for how to distribute incoming donations to the Giveth DAC across our platform were made by nominated and approved team members, who met regularly to evaluate Traces (formerly Milestones). From rewarding contributors to funding initiatives that further #blockchain4good, each Unicorn allocated a portion of funds to deserving people and projects every two weeks.

Unicorn DAC donations
On-chain (Rinkeby) tracking of the original Giveth DAO — The Unicorn DAC at trace.giveth.io​

Our “GIVernance” has matured significantly in preparation of launching the GIVeconomy. We’ve learned a lot along the way and are excited to share where the Giveth Reputation DAO (rGIV DAO) is now.

How does Giveth DAO it?​

Within Giveth, we strive to demonstrate these principles:

  • To value transparent, holistic governance and work to be a shining example of it.
  • To explore and readily adopt new innovations that support us in embodying these values.
  • To practice the self-organizing power of sociocracy, which we apply in the organization of tasks, participation in the Proposal and Advice Process, and facilitation of our governance meetings.

Our GIVernance Circle Mission Statement reflects this foundational intention:

We are progressively decentralizing the Giveth decision-making process by building a community and a token-based economy around our platform that recognizes contributions, values participation and rewards altruism.

The Giveth DAO is made up of people who have acquired reputation and trust through perseverance and dedication to the Future of Giving by participating in building the Giveth community and our Donation Applications (DApps).

nrGIV — The Reputation Token for Stewarding the GIV launch​

the nrGIV DAO

Minting the new reputation tokens (nrGIV) to replace the old (rGIV) on Aragon.

While most activities take place off-chain in our publicly accessible forums and live-streamed meetings, the community has implemented and recently renovated an on-chain solution. Deployed via 1Hive as an Aragon Reputation DAO using the xDai chain, it is designed to evolve along with the advancements of our own protocols as well as those of Ethereum collaborators and eventually, multi-chain ecosystems.

It has 3 primary stewardship responsibilities:

  1. Stewarding the existing Giveth commons (Giveth Multisigs, Giveth.io, Trace.giveth.io, and soon to launch GIVeconomy DApps)
  2. Stewarding the GIV token initial distribution.
  3. Stewarding the Progressive Decentralization of the GIVeconomy.

Why participate?​

Reputation is earned over time, but rewards are dished early and often to recognize value and encourage participation in the Giveth Community.

We !praise you for:

  • Attending meetings and speaking up in Discord
  • Testing and using our tools
  • Feedback into development for improvement
  • Maintenance of our living processes
  • Writing and reviewing documentation
  • Talking about us on social media (criticism welcome, just be kind about it!)

Monthly tabulation of Praise and SourceCred results in the disbursement of ETH, DAI, and/or PAN tokens, depending on what’s been donated to Giveth. We give what we’ve got, and the more you give, the more you get!

Over time, new contributors can build reputation in the community and become eligible for nrGIV tokens that are minted on a quarterly basis. In this way we co-create a community of builders that are self-organized by design, decentralized by technology, and altruistic by nature.

Who Qualifies? It Starts with Showing Up!​

Anyone can earn rewards by engaging in the Giveth community

Praise is our way of saying thanks for being awesome. The first 20 minutes of our weekly Community Call are dedicated to celebrating who did what for the past week. By using the PraiseBot, !praise can be given in any channel on the Giveth Discord server at any time, and we even have a dedicated #praise channel because there are so many people doing great things.

All those thank you’s are captured in a spreadsheet and reviewed by the Working Group Stewards every four weeks, to use in combination with SourceCred for allocating a percentage of the available Rewards to contributors. This practice of !praising contributors transparently and distributing rewards was kicked off 4 years ago with the first PraiseBot built for Giveth on Matrix and now carried forward by Commons Stack and the Token Engineering Commons!

Giveth.io join page

Givething Cred for contributions through Discord, Discourse, & GitHub

As a global digital community, we recognize that while much of what we do is seen by others — a lot is also just happening organically online and can be quantified to some extent by using data analytics.

When you engage in our community discussions on Discord, participate in the soft governance via our Discourse forums, and create or work on issues in the GitHub repositories, these interactions are recorded and gathered into a SourceCred dashboard.

Consistency builds Reputation, and earns Trust

Contributors qualify for nrGIV (Giveth Reputation Tokens) after 3 months of participation as recorded via the Praise and SourceCred calculations reviewed monthly. These tokens are minted quarterly for new and active contributors. Those no longer contributing do not receive more nrGIV — but do retain all of the tokens previously received.

When did Giveth move to On-chain Governance?​

The original rGIV DAO instance can be seen here, where we launched with 1,111 tokens distributed to each of the 8 Giveth Reputation DAO co-founders in January 2021 for the previous year.

current contributor spreadsheet

2,222 tokens were minted for each qualifying contributor in April for January-March 2021, then 3,333 in July for April-June. As in any good experiment, discoveries arose from these iterations and in October 2021, the rGIV DAO voted to retire the rGIV token in favor of creating a new instance (nrGIV) with several configuration changes, including the move from 1,111 to 1, ditching the extra digits.

Also changed in this new rGIV DAO: the distribution of tokens now follows a Fibonacci sequence. This means that the number of tokens minted for each contributor in the latest period is equal to the sum of the two previous two periods.

As shown, Dani has been contributing since day 1. She earned 1 token to vote with the first period (1,111 — which was converted to 1 in the new simplified DAO), 2 tokens for the second period, 3 tokens the third period (because 1 + 2 = 3), and 5 tokens the fourth period (because 2 + 3 = 5). If she stops contributing there, she will retain her total balance of 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 11 nrGiv tokens for voting on governance proposals after the 4th period. If she continues consistently contributing to the Giveth Community, she will always have at least 1 token more than any contributors that came in later.

the nrGIV DAO token holders

James is a co-founder of the rGIV DAO, and received tokens for periods 1, 2, and 3. He resigned during the 3rd period to focus on toucan.earth, and did not contribute during the 4th period, so does not qualify for the minting of 5 tokens. His voting weight remains at 6 tokens, while current contributors weight grows to 11. In this case where a past contributor does not return for 6 months and misses 2 full periods, their voting weight is now lower than a new contributor receiving nrGIV tokens during those two mintings.

So in this example, new contributors in periods 4 and 5 receive 8 tokens (3 + 5) bringing their total to 12 (5 + 8) — double that of James. When James returns, he will come in with his previous token weight and after another 3 months of contributions, qualifies to again receive nrGIV tokens.

In this way new contributors can gain as much influence as someone who has contributed in the prior two time periods, and over time the influence of past contributors is reduced after exiting the community. Behind this design is an assumption that those currently contributing can make the most informed vote about current governance of the organization. For consistent contributors who have been around from the beginning, those joining later will never reach or surpass your voting power, incentivizing retention of talent and wisdom for the community while incrementally fractionalizing the lead.

Successful decentralized governance has been shown to require a healthy balance of new contributors being valued early, and long-time contributors valued for carrying the vital threads of vision, mission and information on the organization from past experience.

Note: If you are on maternity or paternity leave, you still get the period’s token allocations during leave.

What is the nrGIV token used for?​

Voting on proposals that build the #FutureofGiving

Anyone can make a proposal to the rGIV DAO, whether they are an nrGIV token holder or not. But first! Giveth follows a Sociocratic proposal-forming process by soliciting opinions and clarifying questions initially, then making revisions and polling for support via an Advice Process on our forum.

Previously hosted on Loomio, you can see the proposal process used to initiate the rGIV DAO here!

In 2021 Giveth revised its organizational structure into new Circles and Working Groups while launching a new proposal management method on Discourse:

the giveth forum

From Off-chain Advice to On-chain Voting​

After a proposal has been reviewed, the champion (person writing and advocating for the proposal) can post a new Vote to the rGIV DAO! Once made, nrGIV token holders have 5 days to use their tokens and vote “yes” or “no”. Voting on each proposal in this DAO allocates your fully accrued nrGIV token quantity; and you do not lose them if you vote. In other words, if you have 7 tokens, and you vote “yes,” then 7 nrGIV tokens are added to the total “yes” votes while the tokens remain in your wallet. When you vote on other proposals, you still have 7 nrGIV tokens to vote on those as well.

The Giveth Reputation DAO does not use Conviction Voting or require you to “stake” your reputation tokens — you never lose your tokens or have to choose which proposal to use them on; you always have the same number of tokens to vote with for each new proposal.

In order for a proposal to pass, it must have a majority of yes votes, and reach a “minimum approval” level, which we’ve set at 25%. If a proposal doesn’t have more than 25% of all minted tokens voting yes on it, it automatically does not pass regardless of the distribution of “yes” and “no” votes given. However, the proposal can always be proposed again and voted on again.

The second metric within each vote is the “Support” level. We have set that at 88%. If a vote reaches this level, it has more than the majority by a large margin and is labeled as having strong support. The third metric set by the DAO is “vote duration”; how much time must pass before voting is closed.

Which Decisions Does the Giveth Reputation DAO Need to Vote on?

The rGIV DAO has the responsibility for governing the GIVeconomy launch and our commons. This means that the assets built by the Giveth community and the funding received from donors to support Giveth are owned by the Community itself — the Givers and Makers contributing their skills, time, energy and resources to it. So deciding how to build the DApps, contract with individuals to fill roles on the team, and distribute funds to the Circles for maintaining operations and development of the open source code is a job for nrGIV token holders that collectively make up the rGIV DAO.

The road to decentralized governance has been paved with the bricks of this goodwill, and you can see again in Loomio how the Giveth Unicorn DAC used the Advice Process and voting to decide how to allocate a 285 ETH gift in 2019!

The Giveth Reputation DAO has the opportunity to do this again now as we contemplate allocation of the proceeds from Rainbow Rolls and the Optimism Retroactive Public Goods Grant. Balancing the upcoming needs of the Community to sustain itself through launching the GIVeconomy this year, and to reward the contributors who worked tirelessly in past years to earn the respect and the funding, is the responsibility of the current DAO members.

rainbow rollup donation

If this is a subject that interests you enough to have read this whole post, perhaps you are interested in contributing to the Giveth commons by participating in our off-chain Advice Process on the current decision regarding how to allocate the funds from Rainbow Rolls!

We are a donor-focused organization and in order to build what meets the needs of our donors AND project owners, we welcome and encourage your donations AND your suggestions.

How to contribute to documentation

· 2 min read
geleeroyale

Hello dear contributor!

It is very easy to contribute to our new Giveth documentation website. We use docusaurus v2, so you can also refer to their documentation, especially for advanced changes.

However - here are the simple ways to contribute:

Change something in a page​

Editing a page;

Click on the Edit page link at the bottom of any entry.

Add an image​

If your content needs an image, you should place it in this folder: static/img/content

For relative links you should also import the useBaseUrl hook from @docusaurus/useBaseUrl - place it immediately after your front matter.

import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl'

Then you can import the image - i.e. the image I used above to demonstrate the look of the edit link:

<img
  alt="Editing a page"
  src={useBaseUrl('img/content/screenshot-edit-page.png')}
/>;

Make a new page​

In order for this to work nicely, please fork and clone from our main repository on github and make a pull request after you have made your changes.

Docusaurus will automatically create new pages from any added markdown (.md) files with the correct frontmatter (look at current pages to get an example).

So to create a new page, you should create a new markdown document, depending on the type of content.

  • User guides should be created in the guides folder
  • Developer documentation should be created in the docs folder
  • Updates, content that does not easily fit other categories, as well as longer entries should go into the blog folder

If you want the entry to show up in the respective sidebar you will need to add the title to the existing array:

  • sidebars.js for the docs section
  • sidebarsGuides.js for the guides section No newline at end of file

The Giveth mission is to reward & empower those who give — to projects, to society, and to the world. With GIVbacks, we’re rewarding givers by giving GIV to donors to verified projects on Giveth.

what if giving gave back

Web3 and, specifically, Ethereum have the potential to revolutionize the philanthropic space. We have the tools to open new funding streams and create economic abundance for everyone who is providing value to society.

Clean air, clear water, bridges, roads, free childcare, public education, taking care of the less fortunate — these are all examples of public goods that, when governments fail to provide them, we look to non-profits to create and care for. For funding, we have been relying on donors to give to these non-profits and receive nothing in return. Society has been depending on and ultimately exploiting the altruists who are working hard to protect and provide for our collective needs.

GIVbacks is a paradigm shift for the donation space. For the first time ever, there is an economic upside to donating.

givbacks meme

GIVbacks is the first step towards a world in which everyone benefits from creating value: when you give to verified projects, 100% of your donation goes directly to the project, and you get GIV from Giveth!

With over 900 verified projects on Giveth, donors can find projects that speak to their values and get rewarded for giving. Verified projects benefit from the extra traffic on Giveth & can use this program to attract new donors who are willing to support their initiatives.

The Big Picture​

Before we get into the fine details of exactly how the GIVbacks program works, let me walk you through the big picture that is the “why”.

Projects should feel good about raising funds for their project​

Charity has traditionally created a dynamic where projects who do good work to benefit society have to beg for funds to make the world a better place. On the flip side, donors are being asked to sacrifice — to give without expecting anything in return.

givbacks meme

GIVbacks is changing that. Donors have the opportunity to support projects they believe in, get GIV in return, and start or increase their GIVstream. They can use that GIV to grow their rewards by, for example, staking in the GIVfarm. It’s a win/win: Projects benefit from receiving 100% of the donation, and donors benefit by earning GIV and becoming part of the Giveth ecosystem.

GIVbacks gives governance power to the donors using Giveth​

givbacks meme

Giveth is of the donors, by the donors, and for the donors. Our GIVdrop was sent to the Blockchain4good community — and particularly crypto donors & Giveth users — because we wanted to kickstart the GIVeconomy with value-aligned GIVers. Now, as the economy expands, we want the donors who are using the platform and giving to causes they care about to get proportionally increasing governance power. With GIVbacks, the more you give, the more GIV you get, and that GIV can be used in the GIVgarden to decide which proposals get funded to expand the GIVeconomy.

GIVbacks are like tax-deductible donations but without governments and borders​

givbacks meme

Let’s face it, tax-deductible donations can be a bit of a headache. Nonprofit projects have to cut through miles of red tape and donors have to do accounting each year, saving associated paperwork for some arbitrary number of years.

GIVbacks provides a similar end, but cuts the bureaucracy. If a project can prove they are legitimately adding value to society, they can become a verified project in the GIVbacks program, no matter what their legal or DAO structure is. If a donor is moved by a verified project’s work, they can give and receive GIV in return, no matter where (or if) they pay taxes. No need to save receipts or paperwork for fear of getting audited. Web3 makes it so that we don’t need governments and taxes to make this kind of system. We can transcend borders to connect people with projects anywhere in the world!

GIVbacks educates community members about web3​

givbacks meme

The long-term vision of Giveth is to enable for-good projects to use token engineering and DAO coordination on the ground. GIVbacks is the first step towards achieving this goal. With GIVbacks, ordinary donors start learning about and getting curious about DAO tools like token streams, DeFi and token-weighted voting. Furthermore, when donors get GIV, they are naturally inclined to donate it! In GIVbacks round 1, 75% of the total value of donations to verified projects on our platform were in GIV.

With the GIVbacks program, both donors and projects receive GIV and start looking into how to grow their earnings, swiftly falling down the web3 rabbit hole via giveth.io.

GIVbacks will evolve into a system that transforms successful projects into DAOs and donors into impact investors​

givbacks meme

GIVbacks as it is today is the first step on a path to expand Giveth into a place where nonprofits can become microeconomies. Next, we plan to introduce GIVcuration — a system where users can stake their GIV on projects they care about, signaling support while earning a yield. A successful project in the GIVcuration system will eventually be able to get its own GIV-collateralized bonding curve, called a ‘Gurve’.

When donors support a project with a Gurve, their GIVbacks get split: they get some GIV, and some GIV goes into the Gurve, minting the donor ‘project tokens’, thereby increasing the price of the project tokens.

Before getting a Gurve, a project will need to set up a rewards system to distribute their ‘reputation tokens’ to volunteers and on-the-ground supporters. When their Gurve is initialized, those reputation tokens turn into ‘project tokens’, and the project can use token-weighted voting systems to govern their donations.

With Gurves, a successful project on Giveth will be able to become a sustainable DAO, governing its own economy, with its supporters as stakeholders and donors as impact investors!

The Fine Details​

So how exactly does this program work? Well, it makes use of a system for verifying projects on Giveth, and tracks donations to those projects in 2 week “rounds”. Let’s dig into the details.

Verified Projects​

“Verified” is a seal of approval for legitimate projects on Giveth. Many Verified projects came pre-vetted from The Giving Block API. The Giving Block is an organization that supports and onboards registered 501c3s from the United States into crypto, and with our integration you can donate to their projects from the Giveth UI.

For non-Giving Block projects, project owners need to fill out a typeform and answer some questions. Verified Projects need to show that they are doing work to create non-excludable value for society and that they have some reputation at stake that would prevent them from gaming or manipulating the GIVbacks program for personal gain.

Our amazing Project Verification Team then reviews these applications, investigates the information provided & informs the project owners about the verdict. Approved projects will have their Verified badges at the start of the very next GIVbacks round. You can learn more about the project verification process and qualifying/disqualifying factors in our GIVbacks documentation.

verified badge

Getting your project verified builds a relationship of trust with your donors by demonstrating your project’s legitimacy and showing that the funds are being used to create positive change.

GIVbacks Rounds​

GIVbacks rounds are 2 week periods wherein all donations to verified projects are tracked and recorded in our database. At the end of a round, our team reviews the donations and calculates the amount of GIV to send to each donor. Note that recipient addresses of verified projects on Giveth do not get GIVbacks for their donations. This is to prevent recirculating funds and other fraudulent activity.

Once the distribution has been determined, and any suspicious activity has been resolved, reputation DAO token holders vote to approve the allocation. You can see the votes to distribute GIVbacks for each round in our forum here. When the vote passes, donors are notified via email that their GIVbacks are ready to claim from the GIVbacks page.

givbacks round example

Every 2 weeks, there is 1 million GIV available to give back to donors!

Until December 23, 2026 donors who get GIV from GIVbacks are able to claim some part immediately upon distribution, and some part added to their GIVstream flowrate. With the GIVstream, donors who give to verified projects on Giveth get more GIV continuously as the GIViverse expands.

GIVbacks is the next generation of philanthropy where, using the power of web3, we can transform legacy systems that require those who give to sacrifice, into ones where giving actually gives back.

Join the revolution, donate to a verified project today.​

It is our great pleasure to officially introduce the GIVeconomy — an economy that rewards and empowers those who give to projects, to societies, and to the world.

At Giveth, we’ve been Building the Future of Giving since day one. We started in 2016 by writing the MiniMe token and the Vault contracts, building open-source infrastructure and using it for our donation applications (DApps). Fast forward to this year, we released giveth.io for streamlined P2P giving and Giveth TRACE for customizable fund management and traceable donations, both powered by blockchain technology. These are the building blocks that we’ve been developing to realize our vision for the future. A future in which…

Giving is effortless and people all around the world are rewarded for creating positive change.

Today, our dreams enter reality as we proudly announce the GIVeconomy: An economy that supports projects that create value for society and encourages on-the-ground change-makers to enter web3. An economy that empowers and rewards donors for giving. And, fundamentally, an economy that is owned and governed by those who give.

giveconomy banner

The GIV Token​

GIV is the governance token that fuels and directs the GIVeconomy. GIV holders are empowered to collectively coordinate around shared resources and fund initiatives that shape the Future of Giving.

Token Info​

  • Token Address on Mainnet: 0x900db999074d9277c5da2a43f252d74366230da0
  • Token Address on xDai: 0x4f4F9b8D5B4d0Dc10506e5551B0513B61fD59e75

Distribution​

At inception, the GIVeconomy has an initial circulating supply of 17.05 million GIV which is available to claim by the Giveth “trusted seed” in the GIVdrop. The distribution of all GIV across the GIViverse is as follows:

GIVdrop distribution

Past contributors, crypto donors & Giveth users make up 17.05% of the GIViverse. We’ve allocated 26.95% of GIV to future contributors, the rGIV DAO treasury & future roadmap projects (described at the end of this post) as part of our progressive decentralization. The rest is fueling our GIVeconomy pillars:

  • 33% allocated to the GIVgarden common pool to fund proposals governed by GIV holders with conviction voting.
  • 13% allocated to reward donors to verified projects with GIV from our GIVbacks program.
  • 10% allocated to reward liquidity providers and stakers in the GIVfarm.

The GIVdrop​

To initialize a DAO led by Givers, we have created the GIVdrop. With the GIVdrop, 17.05% of the initial supply has been distributed to the Giveth trusted seed — crypto philanthropists, Giveth users & contributors, and Blockchain4good heroes. These are value-aligned individuals that have been working, directly or indirectly, to further Giveth’s mission, and now are being brought into an ecosystem of collective support, abundance and value-creation. With no VCs or presales, the GIVeconomy is kicked off by the donors, of the donors and for the donors.

To read more about the GIVdrop and eligibility, check out our documentation or see if you qualify.

The GIVstream​

The GIVstream provides a continuous flow of GIV to GIVeconomy participants. We call it the expanding GIViverse. The GIVeconomy begins humbly but as time passes, the GIViverse expands and GIV is streamed out to our community of GIVers. In this way, as the GIVeconomy grows & stabilizes, we empower those who support the Giveth ecosystem with increasing governance rights.

Those who receive the GIVdrop also receive a GIVstream. Anyone can increase their GIV/week flowrate by participating in the GIVeconomy through GIVbacks, the GIVgarden or the GIVfarm. To learn more, check out our documentation or see your GIVstream flowing.

GIVeconomy Starting Line​

We’re launching the GIVeconomy with three key pillars — GIVbacks, the GIVfarm, and the GIVgarden.

GIVbacks​

GIVbacks meme
h/t to @griff & our #Meme channel in Discord​

GIVbacks is a paradigm shift for the donation space. Instead of relying on sacrifice to drive value creation, we are rewarding the givers. With GIVbacks, 1 million GIV is available to give to donors to verified projects on Giveth every 2 weeks!

The GIVbacks program has multiple advantages:

  • It attracts donors — and therefore great projects — to Giveth.
  • It ensures the quality of projects on Giveth using our Project Verification system.
  • It “gives back” to donors for supporting on-the-ground teams adding value to society.
  • It gives donors governance rights so they can direct the Future of Giving.

Thanks to our verification team and our recent integration with The Giving Block, Givers have over 700 fully-vetted projects to choose from! To learn more about GIVbacks, check out our documentation.

GIVgarden​

giveconomy banner
h/t @mateodaza & our #memes channel in Discord​

The GIVgarden is the decentralized governance platform for Giveth and the GIVeconomy. Powered by 1hive, the GIVgarden is where GIV holders can make and vote on proposals to fund value-aligned initiatives that shape the Future of Giving. It has four main components:

  1. Conviction Voting for fund management
  2. Tao Voting for executing on-chain decisions
  3. Our Covenant that outlines standards for on-chain and off-chain community behaviour, and
  4. Celeste as a decentralized court to settle disputes.

To learn more about the GIVgarden, check out our documentation.

GIVfarm​

givfarm homepage![](https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/0*GHRbTc7_MidaoMI9)

For the GIVeconomy to function, GIV must be easy to acquire. The GIVfarm is the place to grow and harvest rewards while supporting the GIVeconomy by providing liquidity for GIV! We have farming opportunities on Ethereum Mainnet (ETH) and xDai Network (Gnosis chain), and 35 million GIV are allocated to the rewards program for the first 6 months. A further 65 million GIV has been allocated to provide future farming opportunities. Farms are LIVE now and rewards are BOUNTIFUL! 🌾 Check it out here or read more in our documentation. h/t to our partners at DAppNode and BrightID for supporting GIVfarm development!

Future Plans​

The launch of GIV and everything above is only the beginning for the GIVeconomy — we’re already crafting the next phase in the Future of Giving. We’re developing systems that completely change the way societies create and reward the creation of public goods.

future plans meme
h/t @karmaticacid & our #memes channel in Discord​

We’ve pre-allocated 80 million GIV to fund the development of the following projects. These ideas are raw, exciting, and beautiful and we are heaven-bent on bringing them to fruition! Here’s a quick breakdown of what we’re planning next.

GIVcuration​

GIVcuration will decentralize GIVbacks! Community members will be able to signal support by staking GIV on projects, and their signal will grow like in Conviction Voting. In GIVbacks rounds, donors who give to community-favoured projects will get more GIVbacks, and GIVcurators will earn rewards on their staked GIV.

GIVmatching​

We plan to implement a donation matching system for projects on Giveth using Causes. Donors will be able to donate to Cause categories — like environmental regeneration or open-source software — and the funds collected will then be distributed to projects using quadratic funding, h/t to our friends at Gitcoin.

GIVfi​

The intention with GIVfi is to create a sustainable way of maintaining funds in the GIVgarden common pool. While donations on the DApp are waiting to be disbursed, they will be generating interest that can be used to buy GIV on the open market and send it to the GIVgarden for funding initiatives using Conviction Voting.

GURVES​

This is the real dream! We want projects on Giveth to evolve into their own microeconomies, and for the platform to become a place for crypto impact investment. This is GURVES (working title) — GIV token holders who stake GIV on a project will eventually be able to “opt-in” to initialize a GIV-backed bonding curve for that project.

gurves meme
h/t @karmaticacid & our #memes channel in Discord​

With GURVES, the GIVbacks program will transform! Whenever donors donate to a GURVE project, they will get GIVbacks and some of that GIV will go into the GURVE to mint them “project tokens” & in effect, raise the price of the project token. This way, non-profits who advance in the Giveth ecosystem earn their own economic systems that will turn donors into investors and volunteers into shareholders.

But wait, there’s more…​

The core team at Giveth is committed to executing the above roadmap, but this is a DAO and we aren’t alone in steering the ship! 33% of the token supply has been allocated to the GIVgarden common pool to fund the proposals that the Giveth community believe in.

Giveth has been in the crypto donation scene since 2016. We rescued 210 million dollars from the Parity multisig attack, we ran the first scaling-focused Ethereum conference, we created fee-free donation applications, we implemented smooth on-ramps for nonprofits to enter the crypto scene, and that was all solely funded by donations.

The launch of the GIVeconomy is a huge milestone but still just one more step towards building a Future of Giving that we can all be proud of. A future where value-creation for society is rewarded, where altruism becomes profitable, where communities of value-aligned supporters grow and prosper. A future in which we regenerate the earth, we build meaningful connections with each other, we revolutionize economic systems, evolve human coordination and we create societies based on decentralization, freedom, community and love.

Welcome to the GIVeconomy​

Giveth has a long history of experimentation in the decentralized governance realms.

Before becoming a DAO (with a DAF), Giveth fund allocation was administered by a Unicorn DAC — A Decentralized Altruistic Community — trying out new ways of governing the build and use of our DApp (Donation Application).

rGIV Trace Header

Decisions for how to distribute incoming donations to the Giveth DAC across our platform were made by nominated and approved team members, who met regularly to evaluate Traces (formerly Milestones). From rewarding contributors to funding initiatives that further #blockchain4good, each Unicorn allocated a portion of funds to deserving people and projects every two weeks.

Unicorn DAC donations
On-chain (Rinkeby) tracking of the original Giveth DAO — The Unicorn DAC at trace.giveth.io​

Our “GIVernance” has matured significantly in preparation of launching the GIVeconomy. We’ve learned a lot along the way and are excited to share where the Giveth Reputation DAO (rGIV DAO) is now.

How does Giveth DAO it?​

Within Giveth, we strive to demonstrate these principles:

  • To value transparent, holistic governance and work to be a shining example of it.
  • To explore and readily adopt new innovations that support us in embodying these values.
  • To practice the self-organizing power of sociocracy, which we apply in the organization of tasks, participation in the Proposal and Advice Process, and facilitation of our governance meetings.

Our GIVernance Circle Mission Statement reflects this foundational intention:

We are progressively decentralizing the Giveth decision-making process by building a community and a token-based economy around our platform that recognizes contributions, values participation and rewards altruism.

The Giveth DAO is made up of people who have acquired reputation and trust through perseverance and dedication to the Future of Giving by participating in building the Giveth community and our Donation Applications (DApps).

nrGIV — The Reputation Token for Stewarding the GIV launch​

the nrGIV DAO

Minting the new reputation tokens (nrGIV) to replace the old (rGIV) on Aragon.

While most activities take place off-chain in our publicly accessible forums and live-streamed meetings, the community has implemented and recently renovated an on-chain solution. Deployed via 1Hive as an Aragon Reputation DAO using the xDai chain, it is designed to evolve along with the advancements of our own protocols as well as those of Ethereum collaborators and eventually, multi-chain ecosystems.

It has 3 primary stewardship responsibilities:

  1. Stewarding the existing Giveth commons (Giveth Multisigs, Giveth.io, Trace.giveth.io, and soon to launch GIVeconomy DApps)
  2. Stewarding the GIV token initial distribution.
  3. Stewarding the Progressive Decentralization of the GIVeconomy.

Why participate?​

Reputation is earned over time, but rewards are dished early and often to recognize value and encourage participation in the Giveth Community.

We !praise you for:

  • Attending meetings and speaking up in Discord
  • Testing and using our tools
  • Feedback into development for improvement
  • Maintenance of our living processes
  • Writing and reviewing documentation
  • Talking about us on social media (criticism welcome, just be kind about it!)

Monthly tabulation of Praise and SourceCred results in the disbursement of ETH, DAI, and/or PAN tokens, depending on what’s been donated to Giveth. We give what we’ve got, and the more you give, the more you get!

Over time, new contributors can build reputation in the community and become eligible for nrGIV tokens that are minted on a quarterly basis. In this way we co-create a community of builders that are self-organized by design, decentralized by technology, and altruistic by nature.

Who Qualifies? It Starts with Showing Up!​

Anyone can earn rewards by engaging in the Giveth community

Praise is our way of saying thanks for being awesome. The first 20 minutes of our weekly Community Call are dedicated to celebrating who did what for the past week. By using the PraiseBot, !praise can be given in any channel on the Giveth Discord server at any time, and we even have a dedicated #praise channel because there are so many people doing great things.

All those thank you’s are captured in a spreadsheet and reviewed by the Working Group Stewards every four weeks, to use in combination with SourceCred for allocating a percentage of the available Rewards to contributors. This practice of !praising contributors transparently and distributing rewards was kicked off 4 years ago with the first PraiseBot built for Giveth on Matrix and now carried forward by Commons Stack and the Token Engineering Commons!

Giveth.io join page

Givething Cred for contributions through Discord, Discourse, & GitHub

As a global digital community, we recognize that while much of what we do is seen by others — a lot is also just happening organically online and can be quantified to some extent by using data analytics.

When you engage in our community discussions on Discord, participate in the soft governance via our Discourse forums, and create or work on issues in the GitHub repositories, these interactions are recorded and gathered into a SourceCred dashboard.

Consistency builds Reputation, and earns Trust

Contributors qualify for nrGIV (Giveth Reputation Tokens) after 3 months of participation as recorded via the Praise and SourceCred calculations reviewed monthly. These tokens are minted quarterly for new and active contributors. Those no longer contributing do not receive more nrGIV — but do retain all of the tokens previously received.

When did Giveth move to On-chain Governance?​

The original rGIV DAO instance can be seen here, where we launched with 1,111 tokens distributed to each of the 8 Giveth Reputation DAO co-founders in January 2021 for the previous year.

current contributor spreadsheet

2,222 tokens were minted for each qualifying contributor in April for January-March 2021, then 3,333 in July for April-June. As in any good experiment, discoveries arose from these iterations and in October 2021, the rGIV DAO voted to retire the rGIV token in favor of creating a new instance (nrGIV) with several configuration changes, including the move from 1,111 to 1, ditching the extra digits.

Also changed in this new rGIV DAO: the distribution of tokens now follows a Fibonacci sequence. This means that the number of tokens minted for each contributor in the latest period is equal to the sum of the two previous two periods.

As shown, Dani has been contributing since day 1. She earned 1 token to vote with the first period (1,111 — which was converted to 1 in the new simplified DAO), 2 tokens for the second period, 3 tokens the third period (because 1 + 2 = 3), and 5 tokens the fourth period (because 2 + 3 = 5). If she stops contributing there, she will retain her total balance of 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 11 nrGiv tokens for voting on governance proposals after the 4th period. If she continues consistently contributing to the Giveth Community, she will always have at least 1 token more than any contributors that came in later.

the nrGIV DAO token holders

James is a co-founder of the rGIV DAO, and received tokens for periods 1, 2, and 3. He resigned during the 3rd period to focus on toucan.earth, and did not contribute during the 4th period, so does not qualify for the minting of 5 tokens. His voting weight remains at 6 tokens, while current contributors weight grows to 11. In this case where a past contributor does not return for 6 months and misses 2 full periods, their voting weight is now lower than a new contributor receiving nrGIV tokens during those two mintings.

So in this example, new contributors in periods 4 and 5 receive 8 tokens (3 + 5) bringing their total to 12 (5 + 8) — double that of James. When James returns, he will come in with his previous token weight and after another 3 months of contributions, qualifies to again receive nrGIV tokens.

In this way new contributors can gain as much influence as someone who has contributed in the prior two time periods, and over time the influence of past contributors is reduced after exiting the community. Behind this design is an assumption that those currently contributing can make the most informed vote about current governance of the organization. For consistent contributors who have been around from the beginning, those joining later will never reach or surpass your voting power, incentivizing retention of talent and wisdom for the community while incrementally fractionalizing the lead.

Successful decentralized governance has been shown to require a healthy balance of new contributors being valued early, and long-time contributors valued for carrying the vital threads of vision, mission and information on the organization from past experience.

Note: If you are on maternity or paternity leave, you still get the period’s token allocations during leave.

What is the nrGIV token used for?​

Voting on proposals that build the #FutureofGiving

Anyone can make a proposal to the rGIV DAO, whether they are an nrGIV token holder or not. But first! Giveth follows a Sociocratic proposal-forming process by soliciting opinions and clarifying questions initially, then making revisions and polling for support via an Advice Process on our forum.

Previously hosted on Loomio, you can see the proposal process used to initiate the rGIV DAO here!

In 2021 Giveth revised its organizational structure into new Circles and Working Groups while launching a new proposal management method on Discourse:

the giveth forum

From Off-chain Advice to On-chain Voting​

After a proposal has been reviewed, the champion (person writing and advocating for the proposal) can post a new Vote to the rGIV DAO! Once made, nrGIV token holders have 5 days to use their tokens and vote “yes” or “no”. Voting on each proposal in this DAO allocates your fully accrued nrGIV token quantity; and you do not lose them if you vote. In other words, if you have 7 tokens, and you vote “yes,” then 7 nrGIV tokens are added to the total “yes” votes while the tokens remain in your wallet. When you vote on other proposals, you still have 7 nrGIV tokens to vote on those as well.

The Giveth Reputation DAO does not use Conviction Voting or require you to “stake” your reputation tokens — you never lose your tokens or have to choose which proposal to use them on; you always have the same number of tokens to vote with for each new proposal.

In order for a proposal to pass, it must have a majority of yes votes, and reach a “minimum approval” level, which we’ve set at 25%. If a proposal doesn’t have more than 25% of all minted tokens voting yes on it, it automatically does not pass regardless of the distribution of “yes” and “no” votes given. However, the proposal can always be proposed again and voted on again.

The second metric within each vote is the “Support” level. We have set that at 88%. If a vote reaches this level, it has more than the majority by a large margin and is labeled as having strong support. The third metric set by the DAO is “vote duration”; how much time must pass before voting is closed.

Which Decisions Does the Giveth Reputation DAO Need to Vote on?

The rGIV DAO has the responsibility for governing the GIVeconomy launch and our commons. This means that the assets built by the Giveth community and the funding received from donors to support Giveth are owned by the Community itself — the Givers and Makers contributing their skills, time, energy and resources to it. So deciding how to build the DApps, contract with individuals to fill roles on the team, and distribute funds to the Circles for maintaining operations and development of the open source code is a job for nrGIV token holders that collectively make up the rGIV DAO.

The road to decentralized governance has been paved with the bricks of this goodwill, and you can see again in Loomio how the Giveth Unicorn DAC used the Advice Process and voting to decide how to allocate a 285 ETH gift in 2019!

The Giveth Reputation DAO has the opportunity to do this again now as we contemplate allocation of the proceeds from Rainbow Rolls and the Optimism Retroactive Public Goods Grant. Balancing the upcoming needs of the Community to sustain itself through launching the GIVeconomy this year, and to reward the contributors who worked tirelessly in past years to earn the respect and the funding, is the responsibility of the current DAO members.

rainbow rollup donation

If this is a subject that interests you enough to have read this whole post, perhaps you are interested in contributing to the Giveth commons by participating in our off-chain Advice Process on the current decision regarding how to allocate the funds from Rainbow Rolls!

We are a donor-focused organization and in order to build what meets the needs of our donors AND project owners, we welcome and encourage your donations AND your suggestions.

Wow, what an exciting month it’s been since our last update. The crypto market is hitting all-time highs across the board, there’s no better time to spread the joy and make some donations to projects that are working hard to make positive changes.

Project spotlight Time!

We’ve got another fresh batch of five projects that we’re featuring in this fourth edition of the Community Project Spotlight. But first, we’ve got some big news! 1Hive let the cat out of the bag and gave a sneak peek of the GIVeconomy launch. Tune-in to get the insider scoop on some of the details and the UI.

Expect to hear more about the GIVeconomy in the coming weeks ;) Now let’s dive into some awesome projects that are live giveth.io!

UPF coin

UPF Coin​

We all know plastic is a problem, its impact on the environment cannot be overstated. Untangling our relationship, as humans, with plastic will be one of the great challenges of our time. UPF Coin is a project by Unplastify which, as the name implies, is on a mission to put the brakes on our consumption of plastic. Unplastify is based out of Argentina and the USA, and provides a wide range of educational and practical activities promoting unplastification.

Their primary area of interest is the crippling effects of plastic waste in our oceans. To that end in 2018 they embarked on an epic oceanic adventure where the team took off on a sailboat named “Fanky” across the Atlantic and back, collecting plastic samples and researching impacts and alternatives to plastic. Their voyage took them from the ports of New York City all the way to Corsica and back across the pond to Buenos Aires, Argentina. You can check out more of the work unplastify does on their website.

The UPF Coin project introduces the powerful realities of blockchain and tokenization to their noble cause. At the heart of this lies a proprietary UPF blockchain which operates on a “proof of unplastify work” to distribute UPF coins. Every coin minted represents one tonne of avoided plastic consumption. Unplastification work done will be human validated by the UPF team. They plan to have a working blockchain and 25 UPF coins emitted by the end of this quarter! That’s 25 tonnes of plastic mitigated. Donations to their project will help them research and fund the deployment of the UPF token economy. Check out UPF Coin on giveth.io and make a donation!

Positive Blockchain

Positive Blockchain​

With an ever-increasing emergence of ‘blockchain-for-good’ projects, how can anyone keep up with all these amazing high vibes? Positive Blockchain is building the data-driven solution, having created the database for the blockchain-for-good universe. They maintain an impressive library of philanthropic blockchain project profiles that allow anyone to find projects working on causes they care about.

Positive Blockchain keeps track of the status of each project, whether they are in conception, began development or have already launched. From their Impact Dashboard you can make a wide range of queries and see statistics of what projects are working on. They use the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals as part of the base metrics for querying projects. From the Social Impact Map you can see the distribution of blockchain-for-good projects worldwide.

They are asking for donations to expand their network of partners, maintain their databases and source out professional assistance in their tasks. If an excessive amount of funds are raised they will put them to expanding their network of projects in Africa. Visit the Positive Blockchain website and check out their project on giveth.io to make a donation!

CineFi Network

CineFi Network​

Coming soon to a blockchain near you! …

The decentralization of the film industry stands to be a great boon for artists, producers, actors and viewers alike. The game-changing dynamics of blockchain are pervasive across an expansive list of modern industries. CineFi is introducing a platform to revolutionize funding and revenue streams from film-making.

The CineFi Network begins with artists submitting proposals for films they’re inspired to create. A CineFi token (CINE) will be the medium through which users can interact with proposals and films. Platform users can decide whether or not to invest funds (CINE) into bringing the film proposals into fruition. If the film reaches its funding goal a fractilized NFT is generated which represents proportional rights to creators and investors of the film, guaranteeing a cut of the revenues generated. The platform also allows users to stream or purchase these decentrally financed films with the same CINE tokens.

By this novel system, CineFi effectively allows for real-time community signalling for what films they want to see made. Thanks to Blockchain technology, creators and artists can more transparently navigate the terms on which they share revenues generated from their works. The blockchain becomes the final source of truth for where the fractalized NFTs are distributed, where funding comes from and where revenues go.

According to the CineFi website we can hope to see film proposals rolling in by around mid-2022. Checkout CineFi Network on giveth.io to make a donation!

Good Work Foundation

Good Work Foundation​

Access to modern education programmes in rural communities has always proved to be challenging; resources, budgeting and infrastructure all play a role. In Africa, these challenges create troubling disparities between populations. The Good Work Foundation (GWF) is focused on closing this gap and raising the bar. They have created a wide range of educational programmes with a focus on digital literacy. The programmes offered go from primary school students all the way to post-secondary specialized training for adults.

On Giveth, GWF is raising funds particularly for their Open Learning Academy programme, which focuses on young students in rural South Africa. On the project page they mention the staggering statistics they’re grappling with:

“In rural South Africa, of 100 South African children that start school, approximately 60 will reach and write matric (high-school graduation exam), 37 will pass, and 12 will access university. This crippling problem will be even more exacerbated going into 2022.”

The programme intends to reach over 9,000 students from grade 4 to 8 in the municipality of Bushbuckridge in South Africa. The Open Learning Academy allows rural schools to outsource coding, robotics and digital literacy programmes to the GWF learning centre. The programme intends to support existing curriculums, rather than diverge from them, allowing participating children to build relevant skills to continue their education. You can learn more about GWF and their other programmes on their website. Be sure to check out their project on giveth.io and make a donation to support rural African education!

Co-funding the DAOist

Co-funding the DAOist​

The Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), as a concept, is reforging the archaic methods of how we organize and govern as humans. DAOs represent not just a technological blockchain breakthrough, but also a cultural force to be reckoned with. DAOs in effect allow organizations to form organically and continually evolve, leaning on blockchain transparency and computer-aided governance systems. The technology we use to create DAOs is constantly iterating upon itself however we as humans remain as the constant base layer, “Layer 0”.

The DAOist is a DAO (aptly so) that intends to capture this social phenomenon and to incubate resulting ideas, collaboration and cultural practices. This takes form as live and virtual events held around existing events in the Ethereum community. They host conferences where DAO champions can come and share experience and knowledge and to build partnerships with other value-aligned communities.

Their first event was in Paris for EthCC4 in July of 2021. It was a huge success and the people demanded more, so they hosted a second one in Lisbon, in October, of the same year. Their instant success has only proven that there’s a real desire to open up a space for DAOs to share and learn. To that end, they want to create educational spaces, physical and virtual, to empower DAOs. They are also in the process of defining their DAO structure. The DAOist is seeking funds in order to continue to host events and to create a year-round space for DAO enthusiasts to meet, collaborate and learn. Check out their project on giveth.io to make a donation!

That’s a wrap for this one! Five projects shaking things up in our virtual and physical worlds. The digital realms being constructed are only becoming more ground-breaking and people are taking notice. Digital technology, particularly blockchain, is poised to revolutionize a wealth of domains, from education, arts, the environment, to even the fundamentals of how we organize.

Keep your eyes peeled for more details on the next phase of Giveth, it’s going to be BIG! Of course, we’ll have more projects to spotlight soon enough so watch this space.

It’s time for another batch of great projects from Giveth.io, hand-picked by our contributors. We have six amazing projects to feature in this edition of the community spotlight.

Project spotlight Time!

There’s an exciting array of projects waiting below — everything from indigenous culture, to black art, to even the arcane realm of memery. Discover some of the magic on Giveth.io with these projects that are making waves in our physical and digital worlds. Let’s dive in!

Futuro Nativo

FUTURO NATIVO​

is celebrating and spreading indigenous cultures and practices found in the western Brazilian region of Acre. They are creating donation pathways to empower several native tribes, and are propagating holistic practices to restore our connection with the Earth. They currently support four tribal villages in the region:

  • Yawanawa — Shukuvena (“Toucan” in the local language) — Praised for fostering strong female leaders, this tribe is focused on agroforestry, food sovereignty, natural medicines and spiritual practices.
  • Huni Kui — Pinuya (“Hummingbird” in the local language) — Residing in the northern zone of Acre, the village of Pinuya is making huge leaps in reforestation efforts and crop laying. They are focused on yielding saplings and food surpluses with the intention to move away from tourism and find alternative income sources.
  • Huni Kui — Caucho — Dwelling in the basins of the rivers Juruà and Purus, the village of Caucho strives to reclaim their culture from the shocks of colonial industrialization. The Amazon Rubber Boom eroded much of their ancestral culture. They believe in sowing their culture through music, dance and art.
  • Kuntanawa or “Coconut People” — Believe that plants are the way to connect with the spirits of the forest. They have mastered how to cure their people with traditional medicines and plan to cure the world by creating alliances of communities committed to restore the balance of nature.

Each tribe boasts dozens of families living on their ancestral land, which collectively is spread out over hundreds of thousands of hectares of Amazonian rainforest. These peoples steward their land, implementing traditional agroforestry techniques, as well as ply their artisanal craft-making skills. The tribes affiliated with Futuro Nativo also host visitors and workshops to teach their culture to the curious and passionate.

Futuro Nativo has very well defined funding goals which complement each tribe’s unique needs and offerings. Visiting their website, you can see projects range from tree nurseries, educational events, to even creating online stores to distribute their artisanal crafts. Check out their project on Giveth.io to learn more about the projects of each tribe and to make a donation!

HNS Fund

Handshake Development Fund​

carries the banner for open-source software and the free decentralized web. The Handshake Development (HNS) Fund is the community funding the Handshake protocol and affiliated systems. HNS at its core is a system for distributing internet domain names using cryptocurrency technology. The HNS protocol website hits home the need for better domain name distribution framework:

“Names on the internet (top level domains, social networking handles, etc.) ultimately rely upon centralized actors with full control over a system which are relied upon to be honest, as they are vulnerable to hacking, censorship, and corruption. . . . Services on the internet have become more centralized beginning in the 1990s, but do not fulfill the original decentralized vision of the internet. . . . Centralization exists because there is a need to manage spam, griefing, and sockpuppet/sybil attacks. Previous decentralized systems largely stopped working due to spam. If it were more costly to grief on the internet using decentralized systems, the need for trusted centralized corporations to manage these risks decrease.”

HNS uses a token (aptly named HNS) to register domain names. Using these cryptographic tokens, participants can transfer and update their registered names. By creating a decentralized and accountable system, HNS (by way of its users) can inhibit a centralized actor from scooping up all the domain names. The HNS Fund seeks out donations to keep afloat their open-source tools, such as DNS records, domain registries, and educational content. Find their project on Giveth.io and make a donation to support HNS public goods!

Njome Innovation Academy

Njombe Innovation Academy​

is creating the next generation of African entrepreneurs in Njombe, Tanzania. Njombe Innovation Academy (NIA) is importing the Social Innovation Academy (SINA) educational model which began in Uganda. The premise of SINA is to invite members of marginalized african demographics with passion and ideas to a co-living experience to gain the entrepreneurial skills to make their dreams a reality. SINA has proven to be extremely successful, tackling prevailing African issues around failing education systems and corresponding unemployment rates. Njombe Innovation Academy profoundly lays out their Theory for Change:

“The desired impact (of NIA) is an increased number of social challenges tackled in Njombe by youth-led enterprises with locally available resources. . . . we will bootstrap a self-organised community of youth in Njombe who commonly owns(sic) and manages(sic) resources (material, knowledge, financial, social) to create social enterprises out of challenges . . . “

SINA communities have been spreading around the continent and Uganda is ready, more than ever, for it’s own local SINA node. NIA identifies that local youth unemployment hovers around 10% with more than 40% never completing secondary school. Crippling rates of malnutrition and HIV hamper the societal and economic growth of Njombe.

Njombe Innovation Academy has outlined a clear plan for kick-starting the local SINA community. The first step is to send 3 local youth from Njombe to Uganda to gain insight from the original SINA. Then, with supporting members and facilities, these successful graduates begin to train subsequent cohorts of entrepreneurs. In 2 years they are targeting to put over 50 youth through the local Njombe SINA program and generate nearly a dozen new enterprises as a result. 50% of these participants will be women and a further 15% will be people with disabilities. All participants will come from poverty based backgrounds.

Meme Manifesto

Meme Manifesto

The 21st century cultural phenomenon of memes has embedded itself firmly in the history of humankind. Meme Manifesto goes deep… deep, down the rabbit hole of memes as an ideological force and as a new medium of communicating complex, nuanced concepts. The project conveys itself as an amorphous transmedia project that will take various forms at various points of its evolution. The Manifesto itself expresses powerful reflections on meme culture:

“. . . we believe memes to be the latest iteration of the one true power that defines us as a species: the faculty to understand, interpret and alter our reality through linguistic and symbolic patterns of meaning. To understand this power means to hold the keys to control the uncertain grounds on which our common social world is constructed.”

A snapshot of what to expect among the depths of the “meme iceberg”​

On the Meme Manifesto we bsite you can embark on a journey through the meme-sphere beginning from the nascent forms of memery, into the depths of niche cultural references and intricate memeified expressions. Prepare yourself, it’s a long way to the bottom. Donations made to this project will go to the artists who wrote and assembled the meme manifesto and its current representations. Check out Meme Manifesto’s project on Giveth.io to learn more of their philosophy and to make a donation.

Black Love Mural Festival

Black Love Mural Festival​

Held in downtown Denver, Colorado, The Black Love Mural Festival (BLMF) highlights prevailing issues in black society and the cultural anecdotes held within. It is also a celebration of the artistic talent of local black artists in Denver.

The festival itself was created from the momentum generated by the George Floyd protests with the first one taking place in 2020. In a collaboration between Rob The Art Museum and IRL Art, two local entities that organize community events and art exhibitions, they hosted 93 artists who painted murals all over the city, including around the state capital buildings.

Now their mission is to prepare for future BLMFs and transfer these works into the digital realm. In 2021, largely resulting from the circumstances of the pandemic, new portals are being created to bring the festival to the blockchain. Several dozen artists have had their works minted as NFTs, to be preserved digitally. BLMF strongly believes that blockchain holds the solutions to empower minority groups and artists with the tools for a better future.

Funding received on the BLMF project will go to the volunteer team who not only pay gas in Ethereum to mint NFTs for artists but also continue to educate the BLMF artist community on using blockchain and the Ethereum network. Check out their project on Giveth.io and make a donation to support black art in Denver!

Black Love Mural Festival

Permaculture Action Network​

is a North American collective that orchestrates action on environmentally regenerative programs. Utilizing music, culture, and art they have mobilized hands to create and maintain localized nodes of permaculture in over 65 cities for the last 5 years. In more concrete terms, this is executed via Permaculture Action Days; an event which organizes various activities including workshops and discussion panels, often in partnership with local music festivals or cultural events. During the event, participants are channeled to aid in the construction of permaculture infrastructure, such as community gardens, rainwater catchment systems and greenhouses.

The heart of activity during the event is the Permaculture Action Hub. This is the physical place which brings in curious festival attendees to learn a wide variety of subjects, ranging from alternative economies to mushroom cultivation.

Also featured during Action Days are Permaculture Action Courses. These are free, hands-on classes that teach regenerative ecological techniques and socio-economic structures for individuals and communities.

Adapting to the pandemic, the Permaculture Action Network has begun building their next interactive tool: the Just Transition Map. This map will show locations of community spaces and projects that are creating better alternatives to the current extractive economy. This will be a tool for the global environmental justice movement to coordinate and create action. Donations to Permaculture Action Network will help them build the Just Transition Map and to allow the network’s programs to persist through the pandemic. Check out their project on Giveth.io and make a donation to support permaculture education and environmentally regenerative tools.

That’s a wrap on this edition of the community project spotlight: Six unique projects bringing new dimensions of insight and change into the world! Want to get more eyes on your project? Coming soon on Giveth, we’ll be launching a rewards system for donors who contribute to verified projects. Learn more or apply to get verified today.

We’re back with another fresh batch of amazing projects on Giveth.io. We have six projects from a wide range of causes that we are featuring in this project spotlight. This is also an extra special spotlight because Giveth.io itself is currently active and accepting donations on the latest round of Gitcoin Grants (GR11). If you feel inspired by the Giveth mission after reading this article then consider making a contribution via our Grants listing and learn about the magic of Quadratic Funding! More on that later…

GR11 Magic

Without further ado let’s dive in and highlight these projects that are making our DApp great!

ETHOS

ETHOS

Emergency Transitional Housing Offering Services (ETHOS) is designing funding solutions for the homelessness crisis in Olympia, Washington State. ETHOS has been championed by ‘Art Is Solidarity’ which is a local non-profit combining blockchain technology and art mediums to find solutions and funding opportunities for pressing social issues. At the heart of this project is the city’s first initiative: to combat homelessness. From ETHOS’s project description:

“In 2018, the City of Olympia sanctioned a tent city adjacent to the transit center downtown dubbed the “Mitigation Site” for those struggling on the streets to have somewhere to rest and seek shelter. In late 2020, two-and-a-half winters and many tents later, a next step in creating a path to housing for downtowners was conceived when the City of Olympia contracted a local design and build firm to create 60 ‘micro-houses’ to replace tents and offer more security and safety for those trying to get on their feet.“

Following the successful construction and installation of these micro-houses, Art Is Solidarity will use additional funds raised to improve upon the amenities inside the Mitigation Site in a unique way. They are engaging the help of local artists to beautify the micro-houses into works of art and mint the art pieces into NFTs to be auctioned off digitally. Proceeds of these auctions will go towards outfitting the house with furniture, heaters and more!

Art Is Solidarity also intends to educate the shelter’s inhabitants and local artists about the vast opportunities that NFTs and cryptocurrencies can offer for alternative forms of income, and provide them with the tools to get involved. Check out their project on Giveth.io and donate to help the build and beautification of micro-housing, and the educational opportunities being created for the homeless in Olympia.

Finca Morpho

Finca Morpho

Nestled in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, there is a community of thriving nomads building ecological harmony at Finca Morpho. This 5-acre beachfront paradise is where humans create strong ties with each other and the land while learning a wide range of skills for a harmonized lifestyle. These skills include permaculture, bamboo building, recycling techniques, holistic medicine, renewable energy, and healthy cooking techniques.

Founded in 2014 Finca Morpho is a place for curious travelers to spend time in nature and to fully immerse themselves in communal living. They also host events and retreats to further share the important knowledge they have cultivated on the farm. They have created closed-loop recycling systems from the ground up, having found ways to completely repurpose all of their waste. From a simple sandy beach they have nurtured a thriving permaculture system complete with aquaponics, soil sanctuaries and carbon sequestration techniques. They have come a long way from their humble beginnings.

There are 7 pillars that comprise the core physical and conceptual foundations of the farm: The Kitchen, The Resource Center, Permaculture, Hospitality, Infrastructure, Project Management and Relationships. Finca Morpho is seeking funding to upgrade a few of these pillars which need a bit of love in order to maintain and improve their functions. The four pillars needing improvements are:

  • Kitchen — To keep feeding hungry mouths and processing the bounty of the land. Buying new equipment such as blenders and stoves.
  • Resource Center — To fulfill their mission of recycling or repurposing everything they use. Purchasing a 3d printer, plastic shredder, extruder, microscope and expanding the area of the center.
  • Infrastructure — The cabins, water storage system and solar grid they maintain are in need of love. Buying new solar batteries, renovating cabins and installing a new water storage system.
  • Permaculture — Every season comes with new challenges and needs. Purchasing seeds, plants and trees.

Check out Finca Morpho’s project on Giveth.io and make a donation to keep this community thriving and capable of spreading its message to those who seek it, and learn more about how they do it on their website.

Solidity Development Course in Farsi

Solidity Development Course in Farsi

The language and gender barriers created by the english-dominated blockchain industry severely hamper opportunities of up-and-coming demographics to fully participate in the revolutionary technology that Blockchain produces. Shayan Eskandari, the project’s creator summarizes the opportunity to provide support:

“Farsi is spoken by an estimated 110 million speakers mostly in Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Russia, Azerbaijan and Afghanistan . . . In contrast to the West where computer engineers are predominantly men, Iran’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) graduates are about 70% women.”

CoinIran, the project’s host organization, has built opportunities to overcome these barriers by creating unique programs for Farsi speakers, notably their latest project, “Women in Blockchain’’. This program is putting Iranian women through the ConsenSys Academy Blockchain Developer bootcamp while providing technical and linguistic support, giving them the knowledge and skills to acquire jobs as Ethereum developers. Their initial cycle put 7 women through the course, who all passed, receiving developer certifications from ConsenSys.

Making Blockchain and Cryptocurrency more accessible will only help to ensure its growth and adoption. The project is seeking funding to cover the expenses of putting the women through the course and for the costs of building the course tailored for Farsi speakers with comprehensive media, translations and syllabuses. Further funds raised will allow more women to go through the program. Read the full article on CoinIran and visit their project on Giveth.io to make a donation!

Oika

Oika

Can be defined as “The feeling of ecological wellbeing and belonging to nature. It is the intelligence of nature as expressed through human thought and action.”. The word is derived from the Greek word Oikos, meaning “home”. The project, Oika, is reconnecting humans with nature and raising awareness of climate change through NFT technology. Dr. Rich Blundell, the project’s creator, has gathered a team of scientists, artists and storytellers to cultivate Ecological Intelligence. They are combining the realms of academic ecological analysis with different artistic techniques to produce images and videos that are minted as NFTs. You can check out their creations on the Oika Media page.

Oika also maintains an off-grid homestead and marine research vessel for inspired researchers to collaborate, incubating new ideas and generating knowledge. There are a wide variety of subjects that Oika advocates research on, such as:

  • Ecological Survey & Monitoring
  • Invasive Species Response
  • Pelagic/Neritic, Plastics Clean-up
  • Fishing Debris Location & Removal
  • Wildlife Reporting & Monitoring
  • Aquaculture Research
  • Phenology (study of climate change effects)
  • Citizen Science
  • Sci-Art Collaboration
  • Public Interpretation/Communication
  • Conservation Journalism/Documentary

Oika also offers courses for teaching the concepts of Ecological Intelligence. They seek funding to continue operating their off-grid research center and to pay artists and scientists for their contributions and collaborations involved in crafting the NFTs. Visit the Oika website to learn more and check out their project on Giveth.io to make a donation!

Grassroots Economics

Grassroots Economics

The ability for local economies to spring up, create their own money and give it value is one of the most revolutionary concepts created by cryptocurrency. Grassroots Economics is proving this concept by building open-source economies in communities throughout Kenya. Their base token. known as Community Inclusion Currency (CIC). is to be used across all their participating communities in order to quantify and redistribute the abundance of goods they produce.

Their vision is to create healthy and decentralized ecosystems by empowering locals to design their own economies. They also believe heavily in syntropic agroforestry as the main technique to provide agricultural abundance and economic value production.

They seek funding in order to build the open-source software they need in order to achieve their goals. Development currently takes place on their public repository on Gitlab. Check out their project on Giveth.io and make a donation to allow Kenyan communities to build new economies using Blockchain!

Rainbow Crystal Land

Rainbow Crystal Land

Among the Andes mountains in San Agustin, Colombia, there is a community of free-spirits liberating mother nature and creating communal living spaces. Rainbow Crystal Land (RCL), established in 2014, strives to create a global network of leaderless, horizontally structured communities that live in harmony with each other and the Earth. Currently they operate out of their main hub in San Agustin but are seeking to build a global community that shares their philosophy. They are mostly donation based but also sell the food they grow on the land to the local markets. All of these funds go into their “Magic Hat” which is used to buy necessary food and pay overhead costs to continue their existence.

They have written a comprehensive handbook detailing many aspects of their organization, including their declaration of Common Intention as well as their Mission, Vision and Values. On the land they maintain several houses for families and dormitories for their human inhabitants. They operate a solar grid for closed-loop electricity provision and also a permaculture farm on their 14 hectare plot of land.

RCL is seeking funding to improve much of their existing infrastructure. They are hoping to purchase treated bamboo and other wood to finish building their housing projects. Tools and plant supplies need to be bought to begin putting to use their recently acquired land. Funding also is always needed to feed their citizens, namely, those who are working hard to build their utopian vision. Check out their project on Giveth.io to learn more and make a donation!

That’s a wrap for this community project spotlight! Six diverse projects that are making a positive change across the globe, check them out and consider making a donation to keep these important causes alive and thriving! Stay tuned for more featured projects in the future!

Watching for those doing good

We’re back with a silver platter of community curated projects to celebrate and highlight! Our Giveth contributors went through the list and chose their top picks. We’ve found six great projects that are live on Giveth now and looking for funding to meet their goals. Read on to discover some of our favourite projects from a diverse range of causes using our DApps.

Colorado Multiversity

Colorado Multiversity

Is a partnership of local and international organizations based in the Northern Caribbean side of Costa Rica. They provide resources for disaster relief workers and environmental conservationists. The biodiversity contained in Costa Rica cannot be understated and the preservation of the plethora of unique flora and fauna in this region is paramount to the Multiversity’s mission. They currently steward a land area of 1235 acres located within the Barra del Colorado National Refuge which has been designated by UNESCO as one of most important places for natural conservation.

Currently, Colorado Multiversity operates out of a biological station called “El Zota”, which is one of the Multiversity’s partners. El Zota carries out research and training for those who are passionate about conservation and biodiversity. There is also The Refuge Project, another one of the Multiversity’s organizations, that utilizes the facility as a safe space for disaster relief workers worldwide to meet, rest, teach and learn.

The Colorado Multiversity has been recognized by some notable organizations for potential funding, including the SDG Impact Fund, Gaia Gives and the Spanish Cooperation. They are seeking initial funding to kick-start their mission and meet the funding criteria outlined by these organizations. They have a wide range of projects being launched including decarbonization initiatives, international volunteering programs, agricultural development research and plastic recycling. Check out their introduction video below and visit their project on Giveth to learn more and donate!

Feed the Hungry in Chilliwack, BC, Canada

Feed the Hungry in Chilliwack, BC, Canada

Is a local effort led by a man named David to make a contribution to the homeless population prevalent in the local community of Chilliwack, a city near Vancouver, British Columbia. In Vancouver the homeless population is ever-present and expanding. The temperate climate of southern BC has allowed this region to become a year-round hub for the Canadian demographic experiencing homelessness. The problem in Chilliwack is exacerbated as the city of Vancouver rounds up the homeless on one-way buses to Chilliwack, dropping them off in the town with no return.

Feeding the hungry is a simple and powerful gesture. David’s trusty team, consisting of him and his daughter, plans to create food packages to hand out to the population experiencing homelessness in Chilliwack. David is seeking funding to purchase ingredients for the food packages, cover gas costs and pay for lodging expenses. At the time of writing this article, David’s team is gearing up and getting ready to execute their plan in the coming weeks. Funds contributed to this project will allow them to scale their mission and feed more people. Find their project on Giveth.io, make a donation and stay tuned for updates in the near future!

Women of Crypto Art (WOCA)

Women of Crypto Art (WOCA)

Have launched an inclusive community to celebrate, support and connect the women in the crypto art space. The voices of women are extremely important and often underrepresented so WOCA is championing the presence of women in the crypto sphere. They share ideas and information and promote each other’s work across all realms of cryptocurrency. In 6 short months their community has quickly grown to over 400 members.

WOCA has kept pace with their rapid growth, improving their organization in many ways. They’ve built a website to showcase their community talent, they launched a Colony DAO to manage their thriving tribe and have formed great relationships with entities such as Panvala and Cryptovoxels. WOCA is seeking funding to reach their next milestones, including building a permanent gallery, onboarding members to the DAO and promoting all of the incredible work done by women artists. Check out WOCA and make a donation to their project on Giveth.

Vukani

Vukani

Translates to “Wake Up” in the regional isiZulu tongue, and is the motto of this project based in rural Zimbabwe. The entire country faces extreme food security challenges, driven by political and environmental factors. This project is dedicated to finding food security solutions for one of the most important, yet vulnerable groups in society: the children. The project’s owner, Tim Olsson, believes that satisfying the nutritional needs of children allows them to focus on their education and development. Children will create the future of tomorrow and providing them with the means to succeed will help them overcome the challenges we still face today.

Vukani’s immediate goal is to grow food to nourish the local school children. Research is needed to find an agricultural system that works in the unique conditions of Zimbabwe. Once an effective system is found by the initial pilot project, their aim is to scale up and one day serve the entire country. Progress has been made for finding a water source but more infrastructure needs to be acquired to effectively distribute it for irrigation. Funds to this project will help make purchases for water pumps and solar-powered irrigation systems. Head over to Vukani’s project on Giveth to read more and make a donation!

MyCrypto

MyCrypto

Is making wallet management a breeze in the Ethereum ecosystem. MyCrypto is a hub for creating and connecting your Ethereum wallets. It boasts a great UI that can consolidate and keep track of all your tokens and their values on Mainnet and several Ethereum sidechains. MyCrypto also allows you to deploy and carry out direct interactions with Ethereum smart contracts! Neato!

Donations to their project will help secure funding to keep their platforms alive and maintained. Experience their DApp on https://app.mycrypto.com and visit their project on Giveth to make a contribution.

Free the Food

Free the Food

Believes in creating regenerative food sources using the vacant areas along the sides of roads. Harnessing the knowledge of Syntropic Farming they have launched their project along the lush rural roads of Costa Rica. According to Devin & Arthur, Free the Food’s co-founders, Syntropic Farming is the gateway to restoring ecological diversity, creating wildlife habitats and holistically super-charging the generation of delicious and healthy food.

They have already begun with three streetside syntropic plantations to grow food, with more sites on the way. Their grand vision is to create a network of streetside syntropics and to engineer a grants system allowing new communities to spring up, acquiring the knowledge to begin propagating these regenerative food sources. They are seeking funding now to develop their website and purchase irrigation tools, water tanks, seeds, tools, as well as to provide a monthly budget for 1 employee. Find their project on Giveth and learn more about Free the Food!

We are pleased to announce the official full release of Giveth TRACE — a platform for traceable, accountable, effective donations powered by blockchain technology.

Giveth TRACE homepage

In the early stages of Giveth, we set out to demystify philanthropic contributions to nonprofits by empowering Givers with the ability to see where and how their donations are being used. We released our MVP DApp in 2018 to be beta tested by the Giveth Galaxy, but faced huge obstacles. Scope creep, maintenance of a complex system, and an overly complicated user experience prevented a quick release, and then we simply ran out of funding. We were close to “calling it quits” on our original DApp in favour of a simpler, user-friendly version that we would design from scratch.

Fortunately for Givers everywhere, our all-star devs refused to give up. We assembled a team around the DApp and worked tirelessly for months on stabilization and beautification. With our hearts full of joy and our hats in our hands, we are proud to finally come out of beta and release TRACE to the world.

Giveth TRACE is no longer a wistful dream of something that could have been — it’s a reality!​

Allow us to proudly present a platform that lifts the veil between Givers and their donations in action. A platform that empowers projects to create highly customizable online representations to attract real supporters. A platform that emphasizes the development of trust between all parties — the Givers, the projects and the greater community. We proudly present: Giveth TRACE.

Memery - Traceable Donations

Project Verification

Verified Project Badge

Givers using TRACE know that their donations are going to top-quality legitimate projects thanks to our project verification system. In order to add a project as a Campaign on Giveth TRACE, a Maker must first add their project to giveth.io and apply to become verified. Currently this process is informal, but soon it will be integrated into the project flow. For now, if you want to verify your project, fill out this typeform and reach out in the #project-onboarding channel on our Discord.

Accountability

Campaigns represent the big picture for each project — projects use Campaigns to collect traceable donations and manage them transparently. Under each Campaign there can be multiple “Traces”, i.e. payments, bounties, or expenses. Traces specify how the project is using their donations to achieve the goals of the overarching Campaigns. When a Giver donates to a Campaign they can follow the flow of their donations. Whenever donations are moved from a Campaign to a Trace, the Giver is notified and can see exactly how their donations are used.

Traces are the only way for donations to leave Giveth TRACE. Every project on the platform will have to explain how they are using the donations before collecting them.

This way, the Campaigns are held accountable to the Givers and the Givers can see their donations in action!​

TRACE campaign page
Campaigns Live on Giveth TRACE​

Donor Empowerment

Not sure which Campaign to donate to? Giveth TRACE also offers “Communities”, which represent people and projects united by common goals and initiatives. When you donate to a Community, you are donating to a cause that you believe in! Communities can delegate donations to Campaigns or to specific Traces, and each time donations are delegated, the Giver can choose to veto the movement.

In this way, Giveth TRACE builds on blockchain technology with an added layer of donor empowerment that has never before been possible. Givers don’t have to trust that their donations are flowing to projects they believe in, they can actively ensure it.

But wait — there’s more…​

Free Gas for Giveth TRACE Projects

Memery - Free gas, gas station

On Giveth TRACE, Giveth pays the gas fees so projects don’t have to!​

Giveth TRACE makes use of two networks in order to address security and scalability issues. Our use of Rinkeby testnet makes it free to perform basic site interactions, such as creating a Trace, managing donations, or updating a profile. However, in order to collect or disburse donations from a Trace, Ethereum gas fees must still be paid to get the donations to the final recipient on mainnet. We are excited to financially support each project on Giveth TRACE while also protecting them from the difficult user experience and the complications of the Ethereum network, so we cover their gas costs!

You can see the total gas Giveth paid for each Campaign, Trace or Individual on TRACE — and can even share it with your friends.

Memery - Traceable Donations
Total Gas Paid for the Commons Stack Community Campaign on Giveth TRACE​

Our mission at Giveth is to bridge the non-profit and blockchain worlds, connecting people, ideas and resources with free, open source decentralized applications. The launch of Giveth TRACE and its ability to offer unique transparency, traceability, customization, empowerment and accountability is a major milestone in Building the Future of Giving!

So what are you waiting for? Head over to Giveth TRACE, try it out for yourself and let us know what you think!

Giveth has been buzzing with action! While we’ve been hard at work behind-the-scenes building for our community, Giveth change-makers have been hard at work creating positive impact on the ground. We are excited to share with you one final round-up of projects in the Change-Maker Campaign.

Change Makers Going out to pasture

Our Calling All Change-Makers Campaign launched in April 2021 as a way to highlight the unique stories of for-good projects on Giveth and bring extra attention to the work that they are doing to change the world for the better. Read on to discover the final submissions!

Perfect Village Communities (PVC) in Burundi

Perfect Village Communities (PVC) in Burundi

Is an organization that aims to improve the living conditions in rural communities across the central African country of Burundi. The project’s creator, Mugisha, states that in rural Burundi up to 58% of children suffer from malnutrition and communities often have no access to medical services. Agriculture and livestock can represent up to 95% of a village’s commercial activities, yet families still struggle to get enough food to sustain themselves.

PVC Burundi began in 2015 and is teaching rural communities how to implement regenerative systems for improving education, agriculture and healthcare. Activities focus on soil regeneration, organic waste recycling, tree planting, and of course, growing food. PVC Burundi provides healthcare access to communities in exchange for tree-planting services, incentivizing a healthy environment in tandem with healthy humans.

Food sold in markets via Village Communities are used to fund PVC’s healthcare and education initiatives. Every year they launch “Community Reconciliation” where they expose new communities to different regenerative techniques, begin tree planting campaigns and bring food to market. Currently, one of their main goals is to extend their healthcare facilities in Burundi.

Check out Perfect Villages in Burundi and help spread the regenerative movement in Africa!

Bridging Digital Communities

Bridging Digital Communities

Is run by a Digital Wizard by the name of Kay. He creates online bridges that allow communities to stay connected. In the decentralized world of Blockchain, communities can spring up seemingly out of nowhere, forming around causes, concepts, technologies or protocols. In this rapidly growing part of the world wide web, communities thrive off of the collective innovation and synergy of ideas, exponentiated greatly by the digital bridges that Kay creates. He has been creating and maintaining bridge servers for applications such as Discord, Telegram or Riot and has never charged anyone to make these connections. He bridges quite a few notable Ethereum projects such as: Matic, Gitcoin, 1hive, Conensys, Aragon and even Giveth (Thanks Kay! 😉)

Kay has a project on Giveth — the proceeds of which go into funding the work he does building bridges and keeping digital communities connected. Check out his project on Giveth here!

Vegan Africa Fund

Vegan Africa Fund

Is a Social Enterprise focused on creating a vegan economy in Africa. They actively support African ventures in education, regenerative agriculture, renewable-energy cryptocurrency mining, vegan leather and clothing, reforestation and making delicious vegan food! They have minted their own digital $VAF impact-tokens which are accepted by all of their affiliate businesses for any products, services and experiences they might offer. Vegan Africa Fund hopes to kick-start their green economy with initial funding to back their $VAF token.

Help Vegan Africa Fund pave the way for a plant-based Africa by making a donation to their project on Giveth.

Spread the Love Commission

Spread the Love Commission

Bridges the divide in the US between those experiencing homelessness and the inspired individuals who want to lend a hand. Wren Fialka, the founder, started it all by asking a man experiencing homelessness one question: “If there was a bag of items that I could bring you tomorrow to make your day-to-day life easier, what would be in the bag?”. Based on their simple approach focused on “Connection, Compassion and Vital Supplies” they have been serving communities across the US for the last 6 years.

On the Spread the Love project page they state that anywhere between 600,000 to 1.5 million people experience homelessness across the country, and with Covid-19 financial support ending soon, that number is likely to rise. With only one employee, Spread the Love Commission needs to grow in order to meet these rising challenges. So far they have served over 30 communities and with Giver support they hope to serve many more.

Spread the Love Commission aims to remove the stigma of homelessness and connect those stuck in a vicious cycle with support from those who are ready to offer it. With sustainability, compassion and persistence they hope to end the homelessness crisis once and for all.

Visit the Spread the Love Commission Giveth project page to find out more and help them fund their critical mission!

And that’s a wrap! Thank you to all the Givers that provide support to projects that are making a difference, and to all the change-makers that are finding a way to make positive global impact. It has been amazing to have the opportunity to learn from and highlight so many projects that are daring to be different, working hard to connect humans and improving the world we live in!

While the Change-Maker campaign has ended you can still get some Giveth love by sharing your project with us on Reddit or Twitter for a shout out or a repost on our social media channels. We always appreciate outstanding Giveth projects and are planning to keep highlighting Makers going the extra mile on the Giveth.io. Thank you to all of our participants!

Diamante Luz Center for Regenerative Living

Diamante Luz Center for Regenerative Living​

is gathering passionate individuals who care about land stewardship and building conscious, intentional communities. They are catalyzing action to restore lands and protect water resources. Based in the Diamante Valley, Costa Rica, their goal is to strengthen connections to local culture and lands by building an integrated village designed to support human development and regenerate local ecosystems. They are nurturing holistic ways of living in order to live in harmony with humanity and Mother Earth. Make a donation to the Diamante Luz Center on Giveth.io!

The Commons Simulator

The Commons Simulator​

is a gamified computation tool powered by a cadCAD backend that blends art and simulation into a choose-your-own-adventure sci-fi storyline. In the game, you travel back in time to use cadCAD as a tool to help a community design a regenerative Commons with the potential to save the world from total planetary and economic destruction. The first level is live and you can play it right now on https://sim.commonsstack.org.

Developed by the Commons Stack Dev community, the Commons Simulator illustrates one of the core missions of the Commons Stack: Empowering communities to design their own economies using open source simulation tools. Donations to this project on Giveth will go towards expanding the game by adding another level with a new story and new mechanics, such as the Augmented Bonding Curve. Help the Commons Simulator ‘Level Up’ by making a donation on Giveth!

AmwFund

AmwFund​

is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit managed by Craig Anderson. It is a digital asset fundraising ecosystem that is the primary fundraising entity for the AM Winn Community Public School based in Sacramento, California. It’s parent entity, the AM Winn Community Guild, serves primarily low-income and otherwise disadvantaged communities. They facilitate several projects relating to public education funding utilizing the potential of digital assets, NFTs and DeFi protocols. Find out more info and make a donation to AmwFund on Giveth!

Njombe Beyond

Njombe Beyond​

aims to tackle waste management challenges in Njombe, a town of 40,000 in southwest Tanzania. A common challenge in Tanzania is solid waste management, including in Njombe. Mettodo, the project’s creator states:

‘ 35 tons of solid waste is generated daily by the town: 28 tons are taken to a dumpsite, where the waste is usually burned . . . 10 % of the solid waste is plastic waste: 3,500 kg of per day, which is equal to 1000 tons of plastic waste every year.’

Njombe Beyond is working hard to reduce the plastic wasted in Njombe town. Their three specific objectives are:

  • Establish a small scale value chain for recycling plastics within the local community.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders of the program and ensure fair working conditions.
  • Involve schools and local communities in Njombe Beyond to bring awareness to the problems and opportunities of plastic waste.

Check out Njombe Beyond’s project on Giveth!

When we first set out on the change-maker campaign we had decided to wrap things up on the 12th of May, but after some discussion we have decided to extend the change-maker campaign indefinitely. It’s an amazing opportunity to engage with our community and celebrate the amazing projects happening on Giveth.io. If you’d like to learn how to participate check out the original medium post for more details on getting your project featured in our submission round-ups!

Liquid Democracy…What That?!?

· 4 min read

Liquid Democracy

Welcome to the future of voting.

Or as some would say the Land of Possibilities :-)

So what IS liquid democracy?​

In addition to being simply a system of tokenized voting you can think of it as a hybrid between representative and direct democracy.

Instead of one person casting one vote, the system can become fractional. One vote can now be split in any number of ways between multiple delegates or sent entirely to your chosen delegate, and your delegate can delegate to someone else. Much delegation, so democracy.

As an example take a busy college student who just doesn’t have time to vote, she could delegate ½ her vote to her mom and ½ her vote to her professor. If either of them wanted they could allocate a portion of the vote or all of it to a popular politically active persona that acts as a representative for the local community and controls an influential % of the total vote.

Giveth is a perfect playground for implementing liquid democracy

Of course, the reason we’re explaining liquid democracy is because it is one of the core technologies that inspired Giveth’s Liquid Pledging system, and we see it as an important building block for the governance of DACs.

While there is no voting inherent in Giveth’s base layer, there is an opportunity to use a governance system like liquid democracy in the various roles that are filled currently by people such as Delegates or Reviewers. This would mean that that a delegate, instead of being one person, would become a smart contract that has liquid democracy built in so that the donors can elect several delegates to decide which projects get funded (we will likely use a “liquid plutocracy” model, the more you donate the more votes you get).

But wait there’s more, with liquid democracy + blockchain you have the ability to actually codify your vote.

Yes, I know, code what?

Codifying your vote could allow you to tag different delegates to represent you based on the subject matter for the initiative. This means that if one initiative has an economic tag your vote for that initiative would be automatically allocated to the delegate you want to represent you on the economic issues, if another initiative carries the environmental tag your vote would be automatically allocated to your environmental delegate. Very diverse, much effective.

Say an important issue comes up that you feel very strongly about. You can push a button and take your voting back and vote yourself, then push a button and put your delegation settings back the way they were.

You set the term limits, you can delegate for 20 seconds or 20 years!

Liquid democracy gives everybody the ability to delegate their vote accordingly or even to overstep the position of their representative keeping them accountable for their actions on a day to day spectrum instead of year to year.

No one knows exactly what the future of voting looks like, but with Giveth we can start experimenting with this incredible model while making the world a better place at the same time! Much vast, many possibility, sooo future!

Humanity vs. The Problems of the World

Why do we have the problems we do, like global warming, homelessness, and environmental destruction?

It’s not because we lack the capacity to fix it. For any problem, there’s an array of experts who have a plan of action to tackle it.

It’s not because we lack the capital. There’s more money in the world than ever before.

What we lack is an effective system for organizing and incentivizing people to tackle the problems that are not profitable to solve.

Giveth is that system — a platform for unleashing the human spirit to conquer the problems of our world. Giveth enables those who want to do good in the world to trustlessly collaborate with those who want to fund that work. Funds are paid only when the work happens. All actions are transparently recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. Giveth is the lightest possible framework for allowing strangers to effect change together.

The Giveth Unicorns are the group of people building Giveth. We have different backgrounds, skill sets, and countries of residence; but we’re united by a shared vision:

We believe that every human being should be able to get funding to make the world a better place.

We believe that every human being should be able to transparently see their funds create good in the world.

We believe that our problems are too large for any individual to solve, and so we need the power of communities.

We believe that transparency is the key to staying focused on the work at hand.

We believe a better world is possible if we effectively unite the minds, funds, and time of everyone who cares about the same issues.

Are you one of those magical creatures — a Unicorn — who believes our problems are solvable through collaboration, aligned incentives, and a little ETH? Giveth will be better with your contributions. Come create Giveth with us.

Giveth is a decentralized community of collaborators around the cause of making the world a better place. We are the Giveth Galaxy that empowers communities to achieve their mission. Giveth’s actions are guided by following principles:

Radical Openness and Transparency:

Any project, git repository, presentation or document that has been made within Giveth shall be publicly accessible and usable. We pledge to share these transparently in an organized fashion and provide all necessary guidance. In this sense we identify ourselves with the GNU principles.

Inclusiveness​

To Giveth there is only one race -the human race-, no sex, no religion, no disability nor political affiliation. Everyone is welcome and we encourage you to share your view and enrich our community.

Independence​

We are financed through unconditional donations that will be used to build, support, evolve and maintain our products, contributors and community. As a group of individuals we pledge to be neutral and any affiliation or promotion of other projects, political parties or movements shall be discussed and agreed by the majority of our community through our internal governance organs. Any such decision shall be publicly shared and be accessible as long as Giveth exists. You can not buy Giveth.

Accountability​

We see Giveth as a gift to humanity. As such we are accountable to our donors, contributors and the whole of humanity that we will do our best to build Giveth with the resources given and according to our abilities. We assume the responsibility of accounting for our actions as a movement.

Voice of change​

We are not blind nor silent. When we witness acts of violence, bullying or oppression we may speak out publicly as individuals or as a group. Any such action is not welcome in our own community and will be dealt with.

What Giveth.io Means to Me

Giveth is a very special altruistic offering of distributed software and grouping of rare unicorns. At its core Giveth enables communities to form around the causes that matter to them the most. On a personal level Giveth is the reason I shifted my vision from only seeing fungible stores of value loosely referred to as ‘crypto’ and decided to dedicate my corporeal energy to enabling trust within this space. A bit about me is in order first however.

I came to ‘crypto’ not as a newbie but someone who was well versed in utilizing cryptographic hashes and technology within daily operations. My first introduction to personal computers came in 1986 when my family moved to Houston TX, and I would play games like ‘Wheel of Fortune’ , ‘Ninja Gaiden’, and ‘SpiderMan’ on our IBM 8086. My first tech job came at the age of 17 where I taught children QBASIC, html, and audio processing at the ‘American Computer Experience’ summer camps. Fast forward to 2009 and my technolust was immediately sparked by this thing I caught wind of called Bitcoin. I had no position in the market other than watching the price of BTC go from near nothing to over $10 USD/BTC.

In August of 2017 life dealt me two perspective altering situations within a week: Hurricane Harvey and losing my job as a Corporate Security Analyst of 5 years. The loss of my position was heartbreaking but being surrounded by constant destruction brought on by an “800 year flood” kept me sane and sober. By December life had begun to return back to normal for most of us Houstonian’s, however something incredible was taking place with the price of Bitcoin: it was over $10,000/BTC!

The dramatic increase of volume plus pricing momentum within Bitcoin caused me to study value theory and seriously contemplate just wtf was going on. Whether it was serendipity, fate, or just plain dumb luck I discovered Giveth via a youtube presentation from Griff Green at the Ethereum Community Conference 2018. At this point all of my attention shifted studying pricing and volatility to determining how to best distribute trust.

Giveth will play a key role in enabling communities to distribute trust via decentralized governance. At a high level, Giveth can be viewed as software that enables communities to form causes and promote those causes via group determined milestones. Individuals who are part of a given community can spawn their own milestones, and via pledging of ETH to those milestones prioritize what is and is not important for that community with 100% transparency. Additionally those who give within this structure can be notified when their milestone is reached as well as delegate authority of their contribution to others within their community.

Giveth is not an ICO, a corporation, or a monolithic organization that promises to render aid while capturing the majority of users contributions in times of need (most charities). Giveth is an opportunity to do better by humanity via distributed trust within systems of decentralized governance that *anyone* can run.

Why Giveth?

We believe in the power of communities to solve problems.

We believe in decentralized technology to unleash the creativity and energy of altruistic communities.

Giving is a humanitarian act of solidarity and empathy — we believe in the fundamental rights and dignity of every human being.

We are doing nothing less than reinventing giving!

What?

We build a platform for trust and transparency in giving.

Decentralized altruistic communities promote social innovation and create opportunities for people.

This platform is in strong contrast to the systems currently in place: bureaucratic, inflexible, centralized, with a lot of overhead

How?

We are enthusiastic and passionate — we do a hell of a lot of amazing stuff.

We are a community — open, transparent, cooperative, companionable and focused to deliver.

We are an active part of the Ethereum eco-system and contribute to the development of Ethereum.

“You can’t go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world. Otherwise it’s just a cage.” — Terry Pratchett

If you want to understand what Giveth values are and what it means to be a Unicorn and to be part of the Giveth community, you has to understand that the simple goal of all Unicorns in the Giveth galaxy, all around the world is, to make the world a better place.

This starts with the fact that Giveth trusts in people, real, actual people.

Let me explain why this is an amazing, outstanding fact in 2018. We spend the last years and maybe generation with the trust in the big systems and cooperations. The (centralized) banking system, centralized political systems with so called “representatives of the people” who rule countries and do not even know any longer what is going on in a country, the idea that the fact that we are allowed to go to vote every 4 (or 5 years) is all it needs for a democracy to work. We trusted in this centralized systems to rule the world and sort out our human problems. What we end up with was a banking crisis, plastic rubbish all over the planet, a so called refugee crisis and more and more the distrust in systems. We trust in charity organizations all over the world to sort out what we humans fucked up in the past and wonder in the end that we do not know what happened with the donations that we made. We trusted in system for a long time, until we realized that this systems are not working out the way we wanted. We realized that no one will sort out all the rubbish in the oceans and at the beaches if we do not start doing it ourselves, more and more people realize that we need to take our power as citizens back to actually have a say in a democracy, we start to realize that it makes sense to have a reliable person we can trust instead of a bank. We start to realize that centralized systems do not work out the way we though. Decentralization and the trust in people, actually people are two of the main values of Giveth. All these people, all over the world, who contribute their love and time, their work and ideas into Giveth are Unicorns. People with ideas who want to be part of the movement to change the world and make it a better place are Unicorns.

Giveth wants to give power back to people while decentralizing systems. One of Giveths goals and values is to make a donation system transparent, complete and absolute. We want to make donations transparent, direct and reliable. And even if Giveth is a charity organization, we are not just talking about donations. We are talking about the structure of governance within the organization, about reliable, accountable people within the Giveth galaxy, about the fact that everyone and anyone can actively participate in the platform, the organization and the idea of Giveth. The future of giving is not just giving ether to a cause that needs support. Giving can of course be monetary but can also be work force, bodys, love, time, minds and ideas for the greater good.

A lot of people already volunteer for a good cause, give time and love to a project or an idea. Giveth is on the way to build a platform that allows any one of us to make a real change in our community, our neighborhood. I will be able to put up a cause that is important in my direct neighborhood and will make a change and a direct impact in my community — and you can too. Because, you not what? No one knows better what’s going on in your neighborhood than you. Why should anyone donate money to a big, intransparent organization that pays CEO’s instead of directly to your cause? Your community wants to teach kids how to code, you want to feed the homeless people, you want to gather a couple of people and pick up all the rubbish at your local beach/town/park? Cool, put up a cause on the Giveth platform and start to do so. Giveth believes and trusts in people and in you. This is the highest value any organization can have: the trust in people.

Shaping the future needs more than just a couple of people, it needs all of us, the human community. So we are calling everyone, to become a Unicorn and join us in the movement to #maketheworldabtterplace.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way”

– in short the Unicorns were getting easier and easier to spot as they were coming together to reinvent the most fundamental thing there is.

Giveth is reinventing what it means to be human.

Humans are not the only life form which create but we have made it our ultimate evolutionary skill. To create is to give and vice versa. Giving is the most primal expression of creating, the most basic level. To voluntarily give something that is yours ( mind, body, property…) by leaving your ownership it becomes something for somebody else. In other words : something changed, transformed, got created.

So giving, What’s so special about that? Everybody does it in one way or another. But the giving the Unicorns are talking about is voluntarily or coercion-free! This means no one can force you in any way. Nor are there gatekeepers who have the power to interfere in the process of you giving. The Giveth Unicorns credo is very clear :

• Donating can be simple, fun and effective.

• Transparency and accountability can be the default.

• Every idea has the potential to make a positive impact, and it can be heard and funded in a decentralized fashion.

• Every Donor can have the ultimate say over how their donation is used.

• People that want to do good work for their cause can be rewarded for their actions.

• Real change and innovation comes about when communities join together to make the world a better place.

Unicorns have always been elusive creatures but now the stars in the Giveth Galaxy have aligned and they are popping up everywhere. Everywhere people are noticing what is being built, being reinvented and want to contribute. The moment you give your time, your energy, your love to this community and project, and help in some way in its existence, a new Unicorn is born.

Permissionless creation will make us unstoppable. It gives hope for the future and the confidence that there will always be people who act for the good of others and that they will succeed.

There are restrictive walls that contain possibility. Inside these walls passion and motivation are strangled by bureaucracy, limitations, and unrelated political tethers. Giveth breaks down these walls and exposes possibility to the wide open expanse contained only by the one natural restriction, capacity. Giveth is where possibility meets capacity, where, passion and motivation are free to flourish and where only nature itself can restrain us.

Those with the passion to change the world sit on one side of a vast and long continent, on the other side are those who want to help them and have the resources to make their vision possible. Giveth is a canal right through the middle of that continent, removing the need to go all the way around and convincing more and more people on both sides to make the journey from the world we live in to the world we believe in.

  • Giveth is a decentralized platform that facilitates better giving and better receiving, contributing to creating a better world
  • Giveth creates increased transparency and allows results based giving for individual donors, in turn inspiring creation of more and more givers and more and more change makers
  • Giveth believes in connecting change makers with those who want to support their mission, allowing them to avoid the mission creep that comes with chasing semi-related funding
  • Giveth believes in decentralized, democratic, liquid control of donor funds
  • Giveth believes in maximizing each gifts potential, utilizing blockchain technology to decrease administrative cost requirements
  • Giveth believes in giving change makers the funds and trust they need to make the change they want to see a reality

Unicorns, previously thought of as being as elusive as they are mysterious and wondrous are in actuality easier to see than one would think and you even possess what it takes to be one. With transparency at the height of their values, however, they are just as easily looked past as they are open with their ability to share and positively impact their world. Hiding in the plain sight of the blockchain forests, these Unicorns believe in a simplicity that allow the moving parts of the world they believe in to glide seamlessly together without the need of a centralized force to guide them. They hope to give the power over sharing and donation out to the very people participating in order to stimulate a positive change of attitude and integrity for the Decentralized Altruistic Communities that they are a part of. By using this value system based on participation, innovation, transparency, and accountability the Giveth Unicorns hope to use smart contracts to put donors in charge of how their funds are used, they hope to allow that direct relationship to create a rewarding system for all who are involved so that positivity is felt at the very core of each donation. Giveth Unicorns know that sharing should feel good and that goodness has the ability to shift attitudes of the world for the better, for a more common force toward one another acting accountable and responsible for what they are putting out into the place we’re all a part of.

Dear Galaxy,

If you’re reading this we’ve done it, all the work the Unicorn troopers fought for was not in vain.

The mission we set out to accomplish was clear:

Create a trustless system of self governing bodies, capable of uniting around causes they choose to support.

Build a platform that fosters experimentation, collaboration and open source initiatives.

Awaken the Giver within all the citizen of this Galaxy and beyond, by showing them how and where their contributions make a difference.

The Centralization forces were determined to keep the Galaxy under their control, well we couldn’t let that happen, not for our sake and the sake of generations to come.

To accomplish our mission we had to do something greater than simply unseating the unjust forces.

We had to show them a better way!

The way of the Unicorn.

We started a battle that will never end, the fight for truth, justice and transparency between citizens and powers is one that must live on forever.

It’s up to you to keep this fight alive all throughout your Galaxy, to inspire, incite and expose the truth for all to see.

This was the cause we chose to fight for, the one we believed mattered most to our generation.

Now it’s your turn to decide, what will you fight for?

We’ve given you the tools to sculpt your future, to build your community and free yourselves.

Use them wisely and never, EVER…… Forget!

The way of the Unicorn ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

Giveth is a global community focused on improving the world through blockchain technology.

Trustless systems like a distributed ledger allow us to eliminate the middle man, cut down costs and provide transparency and accountability. Our mission at Giveth is to bring this new reality to the world of charitable giving.

Although we recognize the important work performed by NGOs and philantropic institutions around the world, we believe that with blockchain technology we can improve and streamline this process by finally connecting the donor directly to the recipient through on-chain transactions.

This allows for a new level of engagement between givers and makers, between communities and sponsors between the developed and developing worlds.

Giveth is a community of communities. We are building a platform that provides the tools for individuals to get together, organize and fund their own projects.

We value honesty, transparency, freedom and accountability. We believe in the power of people to self-govern for the interest of the community.

Giveth is open to all individuals and communities who wish to build a better future together. Will you join us?

Urban dictionary explains a unicorn as: The rare creature who is able to give you the thing you always wanted but thought you you could never have.

I feel that is at of the heart of Giveth. So many people from all over the globe are coming together to build a tool that will change the future in ways we thought we could never could; creating impact that was impossible not long ago.

We see past borders, languages and currencies and are building a new way of helping each other without any of these traditional obstacles.

Giveth is for the do-er, the dreamer who desires to see their dream as reality, the heroes, and everyone out there who has a different expression of love.

Upholding our values of Transparency and Accountability by sharing recent development updates from this past sprint.

In this past sprint, we worked out the kinks on our rich text editor, allowing Makers to add photos, videos, numbered lists, font styles, headers and more to project descriptions and updates! This should be ready to go on giveth.io this week. If you’re a project owner, be sure to log-on and update your description to get potential Givers even more excited about what you’ve been up to.

Rich Text Editor Embedded in Create-a-Project
Rich Text Editor Embedded in Create-a-Project​

We also spent some time optimizing the presentation of our Dapp for Mobile, fixing some visual inconsistencies and improving overall usability. We improved upon our email notifications, ensuring that Givers and Makers receive confirmation when a donation is made.

We developed and implemented automated testing for the create-a-project flow and updated the testing guidelines in our documentation — two measures to ensure that new features work as intended.

We also addressed a few bugs: ensured that cancelled projects don’t show up in the projects list, fixed pricing, and rerouted external links for xDai donations to blockscout.

One of our all-star developers also surprised us this past sprint with a proof of concept: building Giveth.io using Next.js and Vercel instead of Gatsby and Netlify. Once we make sure all our functionality is bug-free, this change will drastically improve the UX. We’re talking faster site build, fewer issues on loading and updating, and an overall snappier site experience.

In the future, we’re going to be enhancing the UI so Makers will be able to upload photos via Unsplash when editing or creating a project. We are in the process of updating our Join, About, Contact and Support sections to the most recent info. We are also still working on the integration of an embedded chat bridged directly to our team, and project/profile verification using 3box or other.

Finally, the most exciting update to share is that we are working on giving the site a little makeover. We won’t give too much away, but here’s a little sneak peak of the new design:

We asked our community to add their projects to giveth.io and share their stories about how they are changing the world for the better using #giveth4change. Read on to discover our first round of submissions, or submit your story via twitter or reddit to be featured in our next summary.

Purrfect Project on Giveth

Wow 2 weeks already into the change-maker campaign! It’s been an exciting couple of months for Giveth. We’ve come hot off the heels from the Giveth.io launch right into this opportunity to hear about projects making a difference across the globe. We’ve received six outstanding submissions that we would like to highlight in our first roundup. Without further ado here they are!

Sage to Saddle​

aims to focus Native American youth on healthy lifestyle alternatives, rising above the poverty and substance abuse that they often live with. Nate Bressler realized while on photo-assignment shooting Native American horse racing teams for Outside Magazine, that a winter horse riding facility would greatly benefit the community of Pine Ridge, South Dakota. He teamed up with Lakota Native, Stan Brewer, the driving force behind Pine Ridge’s horse community and Angela Smith, who grew up in Utah and has been involved in nonprofits her whole life. Together, they created lofty but attainable goals that will bring structure, education, celebration, along with the opportunity for these Native youth to lift their chins with pride.

This project hopes to provide an after-school program for kids 8–18 focused on equine relationships in an indoor horse riding arena. Students of the program will be granted the opportunity to learn and grow while carrying on a traditional relationship with the very animal that made their ancestors’ survival possible. Check out Sage to Saddle on Giveth here!

Conscious Medicine Collective​

dreams to create a one-of-a-kind psychedelic consciousness center. Manex Ibar and Victoria Ibar, partners and founders, intend to create powerful experiences to bring together creativity, music, art, and high-end healing. The intention is to gather medical practitioners and influencers together into a club that fosters innovation, problem solving, and creative solutions through the use of plant medicines, psychedelics, and consciousness programs. They seek funding to establish their center on 12 acres of land they already have purchased in the picturesque Basque Pyrenées. Conscious Medicine Collective aims to bring magic, nature and wonder into an experiential club center that provides elevation of consciousness. Venture over to their Giveth project page.

Trust Graphic Novel​

is a transmedia project by Blockchain Philanthropy Champion Anne Connelly and accomplished artist and storyteller Chief Nyamweya. Both a graphic novel and motion comic, it is set in a future African nation that tells the story of Moraa, a young woman who learns about blockchain and uses it to protect her homeland from cultural and ecological destruction. By using storytelling to educate readers about blockchain technology, they hope to inspire African youth to see a bright future and link them to the training to create it. Currently Anne and her team are partnered with groups in Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda and South Africa. The book will cover the basics of blockchains and cryptocurrency, and provide resources and links to their African-based educational partners. You can find their Giveth project here.

Bloom Network​

represents an international community of people and projects working toward regenerative cultures. Local Bloom hubs around the world grow participation in practices such as food security, local economies, celebrations of diversity, and art as cultural transformation. There are tens of thousands of initiatives solving major social and environmental problems, who are excluded from mainstream media and institutional finance because the way they work is naturally collaborative and polycentric. Three big picture goals the Bloom Network hopes to achieve are:

  • Inspire a billion acts of regeneration.
  • Build capacity and relationships across regenerative culture initiatives.
  • Transfer power and resources to decentralized networks.

Contributions made to their project will go towards “Regenerative Actions Ticker” on their homepage, DAO templates that local Bloom chapters can use to fund the coordination labor of actions and launch the “Call to Bloom” that will help 100+ local Blooms get started as centers of regenerative action in their cities. Donate to Bloom Network on Giveth.io!

Must Have Crypto​

is a Cryptocurrency project based out of Kenya led by Mutinda Kisio. The Project is about teaching the masses about Crypto while enabling them to earn a daily basic income. They have minted their own token and plan to use it to teach low income individuals and families about how to use cryptocurrency by providing a steady stream of airdrops up to a maximum of a 1000 addresses. Mutinda is seeking funding to back the value of the token and provide real value to the tokens that are being airdropped. Make a Contribution to Must Have Crypto on their Giveth project page.

Diamante Bridge Collective​

is a group of land stewards in the Diamante Valley, Costa Rica working together to create collective foundational agreements and a local regenerative economy that includes digital currencies for the transparent and accountable recordkeeping of their exchanges. They are building bridges between communities and organizations, local and global cultures, property owners and skilled service providers who are committed to working together long term to care for their bio-region, their neighbors, and the community at large. The Diamante Bridge Collective functions as a hub of many physical nodes, connected via global networks of shared vision and missions with the goal of restoring, preserving and consciously stewarding surrounding lands and watersheds while living harmoniously within them in alignment with planetary values. Donations will help develop infrastructure systems to support growing communities. Head over to their project on giveth.io to make a donation!

Six change-making projects live on Giveth and inspiring change! There are a couple more weeks left to make submissions so if you or someone you know is working on a great cause then now is the time to get on board! You can check out our original medium post here for more details!

We’re back with another development update from our recent sprint cycle! Read on to stay in-the-know on what’s dAppening at giveth.io

In this past sprint, we discovered in our testing a wee little bug in our “sort” feature that was causing only the pre-loaded projects to be sorted. Rest assured, we squashed that bug and now the sort/filter/search functionality is working smoothly. We have documented how to obtain a project with a high “quality score” in our Giveth docs. Makers can now ensure that they’re doing everything they can to see their projects rise to the top!

We’ve upgraded the projects page as well with “infinite scroll”, allowing the user to scroll down the page as new projects load automatically.

Infinite Scroll is fun

To further improve upon the quality of projects on our dApp, our team has been working on the new project verification method. We are developing a process in which Makers can submit their projects for review by our team and potentially achieve “verified” status. In the future, verified projects will be eligible for some exciting benefits 😉

Bob Ross for Giveth4Change

If you haven’t heard yet, we launched the “Change Maker Campaign” with #giveth4change, encouraging Makers to creatively share their stories on how they are making a positive impact in the world we live in. Our favourite projects are going to be highlighted across the Giveth social network, helping them gain cred and support!

It runs until May 12, 2021, so it’s not too late to submit your projects!

Coming with our next sprint, we’ll be putting the finishing touches on rich text formatting for project descriptions so Makers can add photos, embed videos, create lists, format texts, and customize the presentation of their project information.

We’re also continuing to improve email notifications so that our users get appropriate and useful emails in accordance with their interactions on Giveth.

Further adding to the dApp, we’ll be integrating an embedded support chat so that users on giveth.io can ask questions directly to our team while using the platform.

Still in the works is the implementation of efficient methods of fiat on-ramping and off-ramping, and we now have more of our team members focusing efforts on resolving this long standing issue.

As always, we are committed to building the future of giving based on feedback from you, our community! Let us know what you’d like to see us work on in future sprints by trying out the DApp and sharing your thoughts in our Discord.

Thanks for reading and we’ll see you at the end of the next sprint for more dev updates 😘

Many thanks to our amazing team for making all this possible: James, Mateo, Kay, Merlin, Danibelle, Willy, Griff, Marko, Mitch, Ashley, and Lauren!

Hello friends and fans of Giveth! This is one part of a series of short transparency posts where we keep you in the loop with updates on what’s in development for giveth.io.

Our new DApp went live at giveth.io on March 24, 2021, and since then we got some great feedback from our testers and community, and we’ve been hard at work fixing bugs and adding new features.

First, we addressed the issue of gas fees not being calculated correctly, added an informative banner, and enabled users to login directly on xDai chain. We disabled the ability of a project creator to use a contract address for their project so that donations to all projects can be done either on Mainnet or xDai. We also added more tokens to our list in order to allow the Giver to donate with even more flexibility!

We onboarded a new member into our dev team and thanks to him we now have functional automated testing that allows us to make changes to the DApp in development and then push to our testing site with greater confidence.

Next we tackled a bigger fish: the development and implementation of a quality score, sorting/filtering method, and search function to add greater flow and organization to the projects page.

Magic Sorting

Now the projects are sorted by default using a “quality score” — a combination of number of likes, number of donations and quality of project description. We have also added the ability for the user to filter projects by category, and to change the sorting method from the default to “number of likes” or “amount raised”.

Lastly, you are now able to use the search bar to quickly and easily find the exact project you want to view or Give to!

Filter and Sort on Giveth.io
“Filter by Category”, “Sort By” and “Search Projects” Features on Giveth.io​

Another exciting update is that we’re now using Segment analytics and Autopilot to track activity on the DApp and send appropriate corresponding notifications. We also worked on some internal organization in our Discord server that enables us to receive notifications so we can monitor site actions (such as new project creation, new donation, etc.) in-house.

In the next sprint we’re excited to continue with QA by getting email notifications working smoothly and ensuring that the donation amount (at time of donation) is being calculated and added to the database correctly. We also plan to add rich text formatting to the project creation flow, and enable the Maker to add videos and/or images to their project description. Furthermore, we are now developing systems for project verification to increase the quality of projects on the DApp.

In the coming weeks we will be investigating fiat integration for on-ramping and off-ramping solutions, and continuing to work on creating a white-label option.

As always, we are committed to building the future of giving based on feedback from you, our community! Let us know what you’d like to see us work on in future sprints by trying out the DApp and sharing your thoughts in our Discord.

Darth Vaders Wants you on Giveth!

Thanks for reading and we’ll see you at the end of the next sprint for more dev updates ;)

Many thanks to our amazing team for making all this possible: James Farrell, Mateo Daza, Kay, Merlin Egalite, Danielle Gennety, Willy Ogorzaly, Griff Green, Mark Prljic, Mitch, Ashley Wagner, and Lauren Bajin!

Giveth TRACE and Giveth.io landing pages​

A new DApp for Giveth has launched! WOW! Much Excite! The pre-existing Giveth henceforth will be known as Giveth TRACE. The new Giveth.io Donation Application is an important continuation of our mission to build the future of giving. Both iterations will continue to exist and do contain different features. In this article we’ll be diving into the nitty gritty to help you decide which version of Giveth will aid you the most on your philanthropic venture.

TL;DR ←​

Three key distinguishers of the Giveths are: Trust, User Experience, and Scope. Let’s dive in.

Trust

First up let’s talk about Trust. Giveth TRACE (Originally Giveth Beta) was launched in 2017. Following the great DAO hack from the previous year, the burning question at the time was: how do we make these new decentralized innovations resilient and trustworthy? Giveth itself was on the frontlines of these events and set out to solve these issues.

Giveth TRACE employs smart contracts to handle various transparency-oriented functions of the platform. These interactions happen on the blockchain, including traceable donations, escrow, and dispersal of funds. It uses Milestones for specific projects or goals that can have conditions outlined for funds to be released. An example would be to prove work was done on a project or that money was spent to acquire something specific. The milestone contract is employed to act as an escrow. A milestone creator can designate a recipient other than themselves and also a reviewer. The reviewer of a milestone is responsible to assure that any stated expectations were completed before authorizing the smart contract to release the funds to the recipient.

The new Giveth DApp does not use smart contracts to facilitate donations but instead provides a true peer-to-peer experience where funds go directly from donor to receiver. The resulting transaction is eternally scribed onto the blockchain. There are no escrow or reviewer functions on the Giveth.io DApp so while donations are much more direct, you are encouraged to do your due diligence before donating.

User Experience

Following the rise of ‘cryptokitties’ and the mooning of the price of ETH in 2018, the Rinkeby test network was implemented on Giveth TRACE to resolve absurd gas fees and scalability issues. This allows users to interact with smart contracts on the Dapp for no actual fees, using only gas on Rinkeby to execute the majority of contract transactions. In fact, Giveth actually pays the fees to send your donations to mainnet.

“The Rise and Fall of Ethereum circa 2018 AD”

Image Source: medium.com​

Profile creation on Giveth TRACE is facilitated by smart contract interactions on Rinkeby and is reasonably straightforward, however is currently limited to MetaMask. Giveth TRACE currently allows donations in ETH, DAI, PAN, WBTC and USDC.

Giveth.io has expanded giving capabilities by allowing donations in ETH and any ERC-20 Token on Mainnet and xDai network! The Giveth.io DApp uses Onboard.js to permit virtually any Ethereum wallet to be used for donations. Project creation has been streamlined, so creators can sign-in, make a project and start collecting funds literally in minutes. For creating a profile you may choose between standard MetaMask login or Torus Wallet. Torus Wallet also provides a crypto on-ramping feature so you can convert your cold-hard cash into cryptocurrency very easily and get to donating in the digital age. More Info on Torus wallet can be found here.

Scope

Scope is the last, but perhaps coolest, distinction I want to mention. Giveth TRACE has huge scope: its donation hierarchy is broken down into Communities (formerly known as DACs), Campaigns, and Milestones. Donations made to Communities and Campaigns are stored in a ‘pledge’ vault. The Community or Campaign manager can then delegate your pledge into the Campaign or Milestone, respectively, of their choosing. This system created by Giveth has coined the term ‘Liquid Pledging’ and in effect allows for curated donor funds. This means would-be donors can make non-custodial contributions to causes that they care about and funds can find their way to the right place at the right time. Once your funds have been delegated you’re able to track where they went on Giveth TRACE.

Giveth.io Dapp aims to provide a simpler experience. While not achieving the same scope of Giveth TRACE it is much easier to navigate. Donations made on Giveth.io go straight A → B and the project owners themselves dictate the scope by the projects they choose to create.

To Summarize:

Giveth TRACE​

  • Allows for donations on macro and micro levels via Communities, Campaigns, and Milestones
  • Has a system of oversight to prevent misuse or fraud
  • Donations accepted in ETH, DAI, PAN, WBTC, and USDC
  • Curated Donor Funds via ‘Liquid Pledging’
  • Giveth doesn’t charge any fees, in fact we pay the fees to send funds to the recipient
  • Works with MetaMask

Giveth.io​

  • Streamlined project creation accessible for all
  • Multi-wallet functionality
  • Peer-to-peer transactions
  • Giveth doesn’t charge any fees
  • Fiat donations via Torus On-ramping
  • ETH and ERC-20 token donations
  • Donate on xDai and save on gas

The new Giveth is straightforward if you’re looking to make simple donations peer to peer without any added complexity but with more connectivity. Giveth TRACE allows you to define how broad or narrow your donations are while maintaining a high standard of transparency and checks on fund flow. Each has specific advantages in terms of collecting donations. Check out both and decide which flavor suits your taste; Giveth TRACE or Giveth.io.

We are very excited to announce the launch of Giveth at giveth.io — a free, open-source donation application for community philanthropy featuring an all-new UI/UX.

Photo by Giveth​

Giveth is known for being radically transparent, community-owned and community-driven. Our flagship DApp (live for 3 years at beta.giveth.io) is now being rebranded as “Giveth TRACE”. Giveth TRACE offers a platform for peer-to-peer donations on the blockchain with detailed traceability for “Givers” and mutual aid projects. However, it does require some knowledge of Ethereum and wallet management.

With the new Giveth, project owners anywhere in the world can publish an online profile and start accepting donations within minutes.

Screenshot taken from Giveth​

Both Torus and MetaMask wallets are fully integrated into the DApp, meaning that a blockchain newbie can create a wallet with Torus by signing in via social media as easily as the crypto-savvy can sign in with their MetaMask browser extension. Torus integration also means that Giveth is compatible with mobile and a wide range of desktop browsers.

Once logged in, a “Maker” can follow the highly intuitive step-by-step project creation flow and begin raising funds in crypto right away with zero fees added by Giveth.

100% of every donation goes directly to the project. This way, together, we can make the world a better place.

We have really made it easy for you to give to the regenerative projects you love! Anyone can become a Giver simply by clicking donate and connecting to their preferred wallet. New to crypto? No worries! Torus integration makes it possible for you to top-up your crypto wallet easily with fiat.

For all Givers, to save and track your donations you need only to sign in with Torus or MetaMask and all that you give will be visible in your account. Your generosity shall be forever immortalized transparently on the Ethereum blockchain!

Screenshot taken from Giveth​

At Giveth we are committed to building the future of giving based on feedback from you, our community.

In the next months as we continue to hone the user experience and squash any bugs we encounter while on-boarding new projects, we want to hear what we can do better to make Giveth the best user-friendly DApp for peer-to-peer donations.

So head over to giveth.io, try it out for yourself, and let us know what you think!

Hello dear contributor!

It is very easy to contribute to our new Giveth documentation website. We use docusaurus v2, so you can also refer to their documentation, especially for advanced changes.

However - here are the simple ways to contribute:

Change something in a page​

Editing a page;

Click on the Edit page link at the bottom of any entry.

Add an image​

If your content needs an image, you should place it in this folder: static/img/content

For relative links you should also import the useBaseUrl hook from @docusaurus/useBaseUrl - place it immediately after your front matter.

import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl'

Then you can import the image - i.e. the image I used above to demonstrate the look of the edit link:

<img
  alt="Editing a page"
  src={useBaseUrl('img/content/screenshot-edit-page.png')}
/>;

Make a new page​

In order for this to work nicely, please fork and clone from our main repository on github and make a pull request after you have made your changes.

Docusaurus will automatically create new pages from any added markdown (.md) files with the correct frontmatter (look at current pages to get an example).

So to create a new page, you should create a new markdown document, depending on the type of content.

  • User guides should be created in the guides folder
  • Developer documentation should be created in the docs folder
  • Updates, content that does not easily fit other categories, as well as longer entries should go into the blog folder

If you want the entry to show up in the respective sidebar you will need to add the title to the existing array:

  • sidebars.js for the docs section
  • sidebarsGuides.js for the guides section No newline at end of file

All hands on for Giveth

A Trade leaves things as they were, with no external Surplus. A Gift creates a Surplus as it spreads. ~ Seth Godin

Giveth is exploring new territories and expanding its horizons: we are embarking on an exciting mission to enrich the Giveth Donation Application by making the core part of it, the donations, more sustainable. From enabling Givers to donate to the causes they believe in and providing a layer of transparency and accountability through our DApp, we will now be tackling the sustainability of the donation process itself. We want to create continuous streams of funding through the creation of economies around causes, by building a system of token bonding curves feeding cause-focused DAOs (with a unique governance model) on top of the Giveth DApp, in a collaboration with BlockScience.

Edit May 2019: for more on the Commons Stack initiative, read this most recent update by Jeff Emmett, for a technical deepdive by Abbey Titcomb go here.

From centralized Donations to sustainable Collaborations​

If you have been following Giveth closely, you will know by now that we are not your regular organization and are constantly changing our own collaboration models through many experiments, and that we are involved in many, many initiatives, seemingly not moving in just one specific direction, but actually, we are! We are a Decentralized Altruistic Community (DAC) focused on making the World a Better Place through the use of blockchain technology, and yes, this is a wide and ambitious mission. But we have a path we are on, well, actually we have several, and we are doing this on purpose, to make us more resilient, even antifragile. The Ethereum community and the blockchain space as a whole is in constant flux, so we are working on and supporting a wide array of different initiatives (we call it the Giveth Galaxy) that we believe are bringing lasting value to the wider community.

During this cryptowinter, we ourselves, as a non-profit blockchain-based entity, have been struggling quite a bit to keep financially afloat and have only been able to do this through a generous donation by an anonymous donor, but mostly through a constant stream of personal donations by our co-founder Griff Green, for which we are eternally grateful. This scarcity however got us to discuss our own sustainability quite a bit, and the importance of good, objective governance that will benefit our individual and collective interests, our ‘Commons’. Depending on pure goodwill, even if it happens in a transparent and accountable way, is not sustainable, not for us nor for any other altruistic community: it puts you in a scarcity mindset and is a heavy distraction from the cause(s) that unite you. This concern made us see more clearly than ever that we have to invest time in bringing Giving to the next level, and change the way humans collaborate.

1–2–3 — Infinity.​

First things first, we are very happy and proud to say that our flagship project, the Giveth DApp, currently in beta, is now feature-complete, bringing us very close to what we could call ‘Giveth 1.0’. This of course does not mean that we will stop working on the DApp, on the contrary, much more is coming, such as deploying our DApp on the xDAI chain, introducing governance solutions through Aragon, a complete UX overhaul and so much more. This is all in the making but in order to continue with this, we are currently focusing very hard on the funding part of the puzzle. We want to help forward the ecosystem itself through an ambitious token-engineering experiment, in collaboration with BlockScience. The target of this experiment is to transform communities around altruistic causes into entire economies and to build this on top of the Giveth DApp. In the coming months, we will be working hard on this initiative that will bring us at some point to what we like to call ‘Giveth 2.0’.

Now that we have traceable donations working in the DApp, we can start to experiment with new models to support both the organization as well as the funding of communities. Your support stays very, very welcome (all tokens accepted 🙏) but in the long run, we want to incentivize you so that you are no longer just a Giver, but have a real stake in the success of the community you will be supporting: we want to align the very human behavior of profit-seeking with socially beneficial behavior: to us this is the real Future of Giving.

We built the foundational layer of our Giveth DApp on the Ethereum blockchain and not on a centralized server to bring true accountability and transparency to decentralized governance experiments: there is an immutable piece of evidence of what happened with your funds. The true magic however, that will allow us to create sustainable streams of funding, lies hidden within the existing dynamics of blockchain technology. Every blockchain network in existence has aligned incentives around supporting the network itself: every ‘actor’ in the system, when acting in their own best interest, actually benefits the system. Miners earn inflation for supporting the network, developers hold the token hoping their efforts will raise its value, and users buy the token creating demand and pay transaction fees: it is a very simple and well-balanced ecosystem: helping yourself, helps the system to thrive, and very often it doesn’t even matter whether that system is useful or not.

We are building the Future Of Giving and are fascinated by these mechanisms, we want to use these self-sustaining models for actual good. The ‘Commons’ can be defined as “[…] resources that groups of people (communities, user groups) manage for individual and collective benefit.” We, and many communities like ours, that are organized around social impact causes, are suffering from scarcity, because we think about the collective benefit and ignore the individual, who needs to survive as well; this is unsustainable. By default, people will actually do the opposite and take their individual interest over that of the common good, which is often called the tragedy of the commons. In both cases, there is a major incentive alignment issue: either the individual gains but the collective suffers or the other way around. Witnessing for a while now these emerging, more sustainable systems, we believe it is time for the next step. By modeling the success of existing blockchain ecosystems (through the implementation of new cryptoeconomic primitives) we want to create abundance to support the Commons, thinking about both the collective as well as the individual interests.

Now, our goal at Giveth is to use token engineering, more specifically, Curation Markets, to bring this from a purely digital realm, into the real world. We will build it on top of our Dapp, and build it in such a way that it supports projects that benefit our common interest, or in other words, that will enable us to sustainably crowdfund the Commons. The initial work was to enable transparent and accountable donations on the blockchain, the next step is to move away from ‘donating’ altogether and to create a sustainable system: gifted funds become backed by a token of value in a circular economy. As Abbey Titcomb says:

“We believe the answer to the underfunding of social goods and underserved community contribution is to reframe social goods as self-governing and continuously funded commons.”

Wait but How?​

Through building the augmented bonding curve model created by BlockScience on top of our DApp we want to create continuously funded organizations. How does this work? We first learned about them through a post by Jeff Emmett, a Giveth collaborator, who explains the basic building blocks — a highly recommended read to learn more on how token bonding curves could enable a project to bootstrap funding and token value along with project success and popularity. You can find more references in Abbey Titcomb’s report on what we built at ETHDenver, and for all technical definitions and more theory, we refer you to Michael Zargham.

However, we would like to illustrate the theory now through a real life example of how this could work, imagining a future in which Giveth has already built this model into its DApp (also available in video format, narrated by Griff Green):

So imagine you live by the beach, and you have the habit of picking up trash regularly, but you see this is just not having the impact you desire: it doesn’t scale. For more impact you are also regularly donating to a nonprofit promising exactly this, large-scale impact but … all you see is a lot of marketing and a continuous request for more funds. This is all very frustrating.

At this point in time, you run into Jonathan, an activist who you often saw on the beach doing exactly what you do: cleaning up. He tells you about a new kid on the block: the ‘TrashHeroes’ and they are offering you something else. They invite you to not just give money but to actually help them steer the organization. In return for an amount you choose you will receive tokens, tokens that allow you to make decisions for the common good of the organization. On top of this, if you do a good job and the organization runs smoothly one day those tokens could be worth more than what you donated. This sounds too good to be true, but hey, you were donating funds anyways and with this one you get a say in the decisions!

So you give 10 xDAI (a representation of DAI token) and receive TrashHero Tokens, which you hear actually have value, in the real world. The value however, is not determined by an open market, but by a smart contract, which is actually the token bonding curve. So how does this work you ask? The price, the value of the TrashHero Token, is determined by the total supply of the token in general: if more people mint the token in return for xDAI, the price of the TrashHero Token goes up. If the supply goes down — when people burn their tokens and take money out of the contract the price of the token goes down. The big difference however with existing curve models, and which makes this one sustainable is two-fold. First, there is the curve itself which disincentivizes people who get in late to burn their tokens quickly, they need to keep these for a while if they want to make a profit. The second element is that people who get in early should be the people who are in it for the long haul, because they are the believers in the cause, they will most often be the experts. This is stimulated by preventing our pioneers from burning their tokens immediately: their tokens are locked until specific goals (which we call Milestones in our DApp) have been reached. In this way the collective interests you are fighting for are protected by default, the Commons needs those funds and outweigh your short-term self-interest, and you are incentivized to reach the set goals, the Milestones. This innovative system where everyone acts in their own self-interest, propels the Commons forward and pushes it to reach its set goals.

Back to our TrashHeroes that have invited you to be part of this initial group of experts who together have raised quite some xDAI to initialize the curve and the TrashHero Commons. One half, 50% of this xDAI, is locked in the smart contract, 50% of this xDAI is given to a DAO controlled by the TrashHero token holders to execute on their common interest, now baptized the TrashHero Commons. This Commons that supports the cause of cleaning up the beaches will now need to come up with good proposals to actually support this cause. As the Commons spends money, the tokens that were given to the group that initialized the curve will become unlocked periodically. This spending goes through Milestones you help create in the Giveth DApp: xDAI will be released once the initiative takers (the ‘Milestone Managers’) prove they have actually reached the goals they set that support the Commons’ cause (i.e. cleaning up beaches) — this is where the power of Giveth kicks in: you only get rewarded when you are being accountable.

The effective working of the TrashHero Commons is steered through a novel type of curation market governance system that allows you to use your TrashHero Tokens to signal priorities of tasks (Milestones) to be executed for the Commons to reach its goals. When a target that supports the goals of the Commons is proposed — for example, you get 15 friends together and make a Milestone for doing a side-by-side, step-by-step cleaning of 5 km of coast — and if it is supported by the TrashHero Token holders, it will receive funding from the Commons: xDAI will be sent to the Giveth Milestone. Then once the task has been completed, by documenting in pictures and videos the gathering of 3 tons of plastic and waste, the xDAI will be sent to the token bonding curve and you will be minted TrashHero Tokens, which you can then decide to burn immediately (without a need to speculate if you don’t want to) to receive your xDAI. When you or anyone else decides to burn your tokens, there is a fee that goes back into the Commons, which is the lever that will support more social good. To us, this is the Future of Giving: your socially beneficial behavior creates a surplus!

Griff Green’s talk at EthCC Paris on the evolutionary movement of human collaboration through blockchain (TrashHero Commons example starts at 10:55)​

Generosity generates Income​

Doing good feels good, and we hope our alternative economic system will attract more people who want to do good by not just giving but by staying involved. Instead of just simply donating, they get the opportunity to participate in a circular economy that supports the underlying cause. As more people will be encouraged to join the Commons, it incentivizes the people who initialized the curve to do even better, as the initial token holder’s funds will only be unlocked as the community actually does good, and spends the money. By being generous and by participating in good governance they can generate an actual financial return, an income — they create abundance.

Next to this, speculators will get involved, because that is what happens with tokens, and actually, its great! Secondary markets and the trading volume will hopefully create an extra flow of funds that isn’t normally part of a charitable community. After the initialization of the curve, the new donations create tokens that have no locking period, and 100% of those funds go straight into the bonding curve. When later participants burn their tokens they however always pay a fee, and this fee goes back into the Commons, which further support its goals. Every participant — whether it is an initial crowdfunder, a regular Giver or a speculator — should and will act in their own self-interest, which is steering the Commons to become a success, with everyone’s incentives aligned.

One more important note: this is a giant experiment and it may not work. However because of the use of the Giveth DApp the projects that are looking to clean up beaches, help the homeless or do research to cure Alzheimer are insulated from the governance experiment’s failure. The benefit is that these initiatives will exist on our Giveth DApp, so there are multiple ways to fund them. If a token holder really wants a specific Giveth Milestone to be supported but the governance of the Commons breaks down for one reason or another, they can burn their token (again helping the economy through a small fee), receive xDAI, and send it directly to the specific Milestone on the DApp they wanted to support. The Commons is one actor in an open system. What we will have done is create an extra way to fund projects on our DApp and most probably generate quite some buzz around that specific economy, a buzz supported both by the community as well as by speculators. Whatever happens, more people will know that this cause needs to be supported.

We started Building this Future of Giving Yesterday​

With every statement we make, new questions come up (for example this dialogue in our chat), and we do not have all the answers just yet. The models we use are however based on years of research by BlockScience, and are being refined and further documented by the team led by Michael Zargham with whom we are in a constant dialogue. To put this theory to the test, we wanted to build this yesterday, so that’s what we are doing. With the very limited funds we have available, we have decided to kickstart this project by addressing the wisdom and skills of the very core for whom we are building this: the Crowd, the Commons, You. We will build and hack this together with you, and we have already started doing this successfully. At ETHDenver we supported the Pactful Team, where we won the Impact Track by building a proof-of-concept user interface for our idea. We continued at EthParis and are now ramping up to build various components that will all tie into a working whole during Odyssey in the Netherlands, the biggest AI & Blockchain Hackathon in the world. We are the largest group participating and have been accepted with five teams, working on four of the hackathon’s tracks gathering a multi-talented team of 30+ people. We are uniting developers from many different projects in the Ethereum space to form a Commons and help us build this Future of Giving, together.

Abbey Titcomb with the Pactful Team, who won the Impact Track at ETHDenver​

More is coming very soon but in the meantime you can catch up by watching Griff Green’s EthCC talk, read Abbey Titcomb’s ETHDenver update, scrutinize the models at BlockScience, and keep yourself up-to-date by following us on Twitter. Next to this we are actively looking for more developers to help us build at future hackathons (such as ETHCapeTown) and beyond, so please come join our community via the Social Coding chat and signal your interest.

We hope you will join us on an adventure that has already started and is expanding our Giveth Galaxy, and invite you to be an active participant in this primordial Ethereum and Giveth-powered Commons that is Building The Future Of Giving. Join us Today.

Warm regards,

Giveth

Why are bosses necessary? They aren’t. Self-managed organizations exist all over the world, but there is no template for how a decentralized self-managed organization should work. Let us try to change that.

Self-managed organizations (those without a management middlemen layer and hierarchy) have to overcome a lot of hurdles when it comes to governance. For example, on one side, the direction of the organization cannot be dictated top-down by management and on the other side nobody can push responsibility up and “just do what they are told”.

These hurdles, Frederic Laloux, author of “Reinventing Organizations” suggests, exist mainly because traditional management practices and traditionally managed organizations are so prevalent that we have a lack of examples to follow. In other words, we might have never seen better! Moreover, there have been years and years of organizational research and practice on hierarchical structures (think both about an old-age tribe with a clear, visible head and also a large corporation with a twitter rant-prone CEO).

On top of that, we have new models of governance arising within blockchain structures or enabled by blockchain solutions (here’s a pretty good article that touches on some of the key points), although there is not so much literature on specifically non-hierarchical, egalitarian structures.

While there are great companies pushing the envelope in both blockchain governance and self-management, it’s time for us to investigate, explore and document different forms of non-hierarchical governance for organizations. Giveth’s Governance Circle, and particularly Loie, whose goal is to foster governance experiments, is launching the Unicorn DAC on that regard. Lorelei devoted countless hours to ideate, iterate and bring to life this project with the rest of the Unicorns… and this is the result.

Stepping up the game​

Operationally, Giveth works much like a swarm. Around a strong core of main contributors, collaborators that are aligned with the purpose of Giveth come and go and offer their time, ideas and work. Some of these collaborators do one assignment and leave and others stay collaborating on the periphery but for the longest time. They are rewarded through a mechanism called RewardDAO, with which everyone can get points that then can be exchanged for ether if they upload a video on our Wall of Fame or to the DApp itself.

But these points are awarded somewhat arbitrarily and there’s a limited amount of monthly ether that goes to fund these rewards. Hence, the amount that collaborators receive in ether can vary depending on other people’s contributions and points. We think it’s a great introductory system for getting into the Giveth Galaxy, but might not be ideal as a fully decentralized non-hierarchical governance model. In fact, it’s not really a complete governance model, as it doesn’t necessarily steer Giveth’s big decisions, but our experience tells us that it does motivate people to take initiative, talk to the most committed contributors and suggest new projects and initiatives.

Put your money where your purpose is​

To be clear, governance in self-managed organizations boils down to who decides — and how it is decided — what the organization dedicates its resources to?

So in the case of Giveth, the question was: How could we empower everyone that is fully committed to Giveth to decide what actions and what strategic direction should the organization take? And even further, could we do that in a way that we leverage our own products, i.e. the Giveth DApp? -we do like our #dogfooding!

Well, the Giveth DApp allows Makers to create DACs, Campaigns and Milestones, and Givers to fund whatever change they want to see realized in the world. Could we not create a DAC that Unicorns can use to propose projects through Milestones, and other Unicorns can fund them if they think they are aligned with Giveth’s purpose? We would distribute money to our Unicorns — this group of core contributors — and they could fund any Milestone they wanted.

What better way to steer an organization than by democratizing both the access to resources and the power to propose actions and then let everyone actually put resources where the Giveth purpose lies the strongest?

Sometimes Unicorns will decide to fund already existing Milestones, and sometimes they will create a new bounty. This gives everyone the power to suggest a project, give it a price tag, and if the funding target gets reached, empower and pay this person to make it happen. If it doesn’t get funded, it would mean that the project was possibly not so aligned with the general feeling and purpose anyway.

Examples of funded proposals:

a) Lorelei is often frustrated by the lack of sharing info in the Ethereum community. Everybody seems to be having the same conversations but no one is hearing each other. When she hears about Tennagraph, the community signaling aggregator to answer just this need, she becomes very passionate about it and decides to use her Unicorn DAC delegation allowance to fund Deam to go to Web3 Summit and raise awareness and adoption for Tennagraph!

b) Lanski has identified a feature for our DApp that a bunch of Makers would like to have in the platform. It might not seem it’s a priority from a technical point of view, but as a matter of fact, all the feedback that he is receiving from the users mentions that particular need. He assesses the cost with the DApp team and creates a Milestone where they (the DApp team) are the beneficiary. The work, though, is too expensive and he cannot pay it on his own, but Lorelei realizes how important the feature is and funds the Milestone too so the DApp team can go ahead and build it to claim the Milestone.

Example of an unsuccessful proposal:

Lanski wants to make stickers of Giveth’s logo to stick all over the world — for marketing purposes. Everyone has got some stickers left from the last batch, but not enough to cover half of the world with them, so he wants to make MORE. But the general consensus is that we are publicizing well and doing the right outreach in the circles that we want to attract at this stage, so nobody actually funds the Milestone. Sorry Lanski, maybe later when we decide to do a publicity campaign for the general public!

Ins and outs of the Unicorn DAC​

This Governance experiment is precisely that, an experiment. And the initial parameters are sort of arbitrarily defined and will be polished as we go along.

  1. We’ve been a community gathered around shared principles and purpose for a while now, but never had an official onboarding process because there’s no clear entity to be onboarded to. Now, we have the opportunity to come together around these agreements and create a membrane that gathers and recognizes the most committed of us as we join the Unicorn DAC. You can read about our Onboarding Process here, which ensures commitment to Giveth’s purpose and alignment with our principles in order to opt to be part of the DAC.
  2. The resource allowance per head will be the equivalent in ether to 600 USD every week. In order for people not to fund only their own Milestones, we have capped the amount people can put into their own Milestones at 150 USD, so 450 will be used to decide on other people’s initiatives. Unicorns don’t have to use the full 600 USD every week if they feel that there are no interesting projects to fund, or the ones that are truly interesting are already fully funded.
  3. Needless to say, people can choose NOT to fund any of their own Milestones. The reason why we allow people to self-fund their Milestones for a certain amount is to facilitate the funding of menial or uninteresting jobs that have to be done, but they would waste people’s time and resources if they had to be reviewed and funded by other unicorns.
  4. We cannot expect people to feel connected to a purpose by only chipping money into Milestones. Hence, in order to keep purpose alive, we have a once a month Unicorn Meeting! Here, we discuss which projects we delegated to and why it is aligned to Giveth.
  5. As a rule of thumb, Milestones will be created by those who hold roles related to the matter at hand. That’s not to say that people can’t have great ideas outside of their roles, but they should follow the advice process and certainly consult with those who hold relevant roles before taking action, even if it is merely for keeping information flows going. Roles are evaluated on how well they have been fulfilled in a peer review system every month.

MVPing our way through it​

We are ready to try the Unicorn DAC and carve our own way in decentralized governance practices. As the experiment that it is, we do expect some issues to come up, and we have already identified a few:

  1. Dogfooding is our motto because we believe the Giveth DApp is a great tool. Nevertheless, it does not yet have the advanced functionalities of a compounded delegation system that would allow you to allocate only up to a percentage of funds into your own Milestones and the rest to others. We will track donations manually at this point while we look for a solution, be it homemade or leveraging Aragon.
  2. Foreign influence. Our DAC will always be public, transparent and held to the highest standards, but the fact that it’s an open way to fund the projects that Giveth undertakes, it could be exposed to an admittedly unlikely vector of attack where a powerful party decides to fund specific Milestones or projects that are on the periphery of the purpose and this acts in detriment of the best direction to take. This would be a similar attack to sovereignty to the IMF dictating policies to countries in exchange for bailouts or access to concessional loans.
  3. That said, we have funds to support this initiative for a limited period of time, and since Giveth is a non-profit blockchain entity that accepts donations, if you are a donor and want to support Blockchain4Good projects PLUS a decentralized non-hierarchical governance experiment like the Unicorn DAC, we are all ears (and eyes!): hit us up on Riot or Twitter or fund us directly!

Already winning​

The Unicorn DAC was presented during DevCon4 at the Aragon Dream DAO contest… and it won the runner-up prize! 250 ANT + 250 DAI for making it a reality! Aragon and Giveth (and the Unicorn DAC in particular) share the basic principles of decentralization and non-hierarchicality. We see Aragon as the perfect tool to facilitate and enable this governance experiment.

Have a look at Lorelei pitching at minute 58:15 below!

#winning

But… why?​

It is worth reproducing a conversation I had with Lorelei on the reason to spend money and effort trying to devise and implement untested ways of governance:

“Is it appropriate to answer this question with a meme?

Santa Gives Unicorns

Ha, but in all seriousness, the Unicorn DAC takes these decentralization experiments within. Any good mission reaches as far out into the world as it does into its creator, which in this case is us, the Ethereum community. We can yab about decentralization of power all day while at home we still have one or a privileged few making the influential calls on how money is spent, and this DAC offers a solution to that.”

We are launching this experiment to change how the world looks at self-management. We believe there are more human ways to interact and organize than the rigid, sometimes alienating structures of today.

Come join our dialog in our Riot or share your ideas below — they will be read and discussed! Participate and join us in the revolution of management!

Enter the Unicorn DAC.

The Giveth DAC — the community working on the DApp and many other projects — is funded through our Donation Application. We ourselves depend on you, on Givers: the people out there who believe a tool like this should be a reality, individuals who want to help us to make the World a Better Place. If you want to be one of our favorite Unicorns, go to donate.giveth.io and claim your space on our leaderboard, donate directly in the DApp (right here) or come talk to Griff or Kris on Riot, and tell us how you’d like to contribute. ❤

Humanity vs. The Problems of the World

Why do we have the problems we do, like global warming, homelessness, and environmental destruction?

It’s not because we lack the capacity to fix it. For any problem, there’s an array of experts who have a plan of action to tackle it.

It’s not because we lack the capital. There’s more money in the world than ever before.

What we lack is an effective system for organizing and incentivizing people to tackle the problems that are not profitable to solve.

Giveth is that system — a platform for unleashing the human spirit to conquer the problems of our world. Giveth enables those who want to do good in the world to trustlessly collaborate with those who want to fund that work. Funds are paid only when the work happens. All actions are transparently recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. Giveth is the lightest possible framework for allowing strangers to effect change together.

The Giveth Unicorns are the group of people building Giveth. We have different backgrounds, skill sets, and countries of residence; but we’re united by a shared vision:

We believe that every human being should be able to get funding to make the world a better place.

We believe that every human being should be able to transparently see their funds create good in the world.

We believe that our problems are too large for any individual to solve, and so we need the power of communities.

We believe that transparency is the key to staying focused on the work at hand.

We believe a better world is possible if we effectively unite the minds, funds, and time of everyone who cares about the same issues.

Are you one of those magical creatures — a Unicorn — who believes our problems are solvable through collaboration, aligned incentives, and a little ETH? Giveth will be better with your contributions. Come create Giveth with us.

Inclusiveness​

To Giveth there is only one race -the human race-, no sex, no religion, no disability nor political affiliation. Everyone is welcome and we encourage you to share your view and enrich our community.

Independence​

We are financed through unconditional donations that will be used to build, support, evolve and maintain our products, contributors and community. As a group of individuals we pledge to be neutral and any affiliation or promotion of other projects, political parties or movements shall be discussed and agreed by the majority of our community through our internal governance organs. Any such decision shall be publicly shared and be accessible as long as Giveth exists. You can not buy Giveth.

Accountability​

We see Giveth as a gift to humanity. As such we are accountable to our donors, contributors and the whole of humanity that we will do our best to build Giveth with the resources given and according to our abilities. We assume the responsibility of accounting for our actions as a movement.

Voice of change​

We are not blind nor silent. When we witness acts of violence, bullying or oppression we may speak out publicly as individuals or as a group. Any such action is not welcome in our own community and will be dealt with.

What Giveth.io Means to Me

Giveth is a very special altruistic offering of distributed software and grouping of rare unicorns. At its core Giveth enables communities to form around the causes that matter to them the most. On a personal level Giveth is the reason I shifted my vision from only seeing fungible stores of value loosely referred to as ‘crypto’ and decided to dedicate my corporeal energy to enabling trust within this space. A bit about me is in order first however.

I came to ‘crypto’ not as a newbie but someone who was well versed in utilizing cryptographic hashes and technology within daily operations. My first introduction to personal computers came in 1986 when my family moved to Houston TX, and I would play games like ‘Wheel of Fortune’ , ‘Ninja Gaiden’, and ‘SpiderMan’ on our IBM 8086. My first tech job came at the age of 17 where I taught children QBASIC, html, and audio processing at the ‘American Computer Experience’ summer camps. Fast forward to 2009 and my technolust was immediately sparked by this thing I caught wind of called Bitcoin. I had no position in the market other than watching the price of BTC go from near nothing to over $10 USD/BTC.

In August of 2017 life dealt me two perspective altering situations within a week: Hurricane Harvey and losing my job as a Corporate Security Analyst of 5 years. The loss of my position was heartbreaking but being surrounded by constant destruction brought on by an “800 year flood” kept me sane and sober. By December life had begun to return back to normal for most of us Houstonian’s, however something incredible was taking place with the price of Bitcoin: it was over $10,000/BTC!

The dramatic increase of volume plus pricing momentum within Bitcoin caused me to study value theory and seriously contemplate just wtf was going on. Whether it was serendipity, fate, or just plain dumb luck I discovered Giveth via a youtube presentation from Griff Green at the Ethereum Community Conference 2018. At this point all of my attention shifted studying pricing and volatility to determining how to best distribute trust.

Giveth will play a key role in enabling communities to distribute trust via decentralized governance. At a high level, Giveth can be viewed as software that enables communities to form causes and promote those causes via group determined milestones. Individuals who are part of a given community can spawn their own milestones, and via pledging of ETH to those milestones prioritize what is and is not important for that community with 100% transparency. Additionally those who give within this structure can be notified when their milestone is reached as well as delegate authority of their contribution to others within their community.

Giveth is not an ICO, a corporation, or a monolithic organization that promises to render aid while capturing the majority of users contributions in times of need (most charities). Giveth is an opportunity to do better by humanity via distributed trust within systems of decentralized governance that *anyone* can run.

Why Giveth?

We believe in the power of communities to solve problems.

We believe in decentralized technology to unleash the creativity and energy of altruistic communities.

Giving is a humanitarian act of solidarity and empathy — we believe in the fundamental rights and dignity of every human being.

We are doing nothing less than reinventing giving!

What?

We build a platform for trust and transparency in giving.

Decentralized altruistic communities promote social innovation and create opportunities for people.

This platform is in strong contrast to the systems currently in place: bureaucratic, inflexible, centralized, with a lot of overhead

How?

We are enthusiastic and passionate — we do a hell of a lot of amazing stuff.

We are a community — open, transparent, cooperative, companionable and focused to deliver.

We are an active part of the Ethereum eco-system and contribute to the development of Ethereum.

“You can’t go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world. Otherwise it’s just a cage.” — Terry Pratchett

If you want to understand what Giveth values are and what it means to be a Unicorn and to be part of the Giveth community, you has to understand that the simple goal of all Unicorns in the Giveth galaxy, all around the world is, to make the world a better place.

This starts with the fact that Giveth trusts in people, real, actual people.

Let me explain why this is an amazing, outstanding fact in 2018. We spend the last years and maybe generation with the trust in the big systems and cooperations. The (centralized) banking system, centralized political systems with so called “representatives of the people” who rule countries and do not even know any longer what is going on in a country, the idea that the fact that we are allowed to go to vote every 4 (or 5 years) is all it needs for a democracy to work. We trusted in this centralized systems to rule the world and sort out our human problems. What we end up with was a banking crisis, plastic rubbish all over the planet, a so called refugee crisis and more and more the distrust in systems. We trust in charity organizations all over the world to sort out what we humans fucked up in the past and wonder in the end that we do not know what happened with the donations that we made. We trusted in system for a long time, until we realized that this systems are not working out the way we wanted. We realized that no one will sort out all the rubbish in the oceans and at the beaches if we do not start doing it ourselves, more and more people realize that we need to take our power as citizens back to actually have a say in a democracy, we start to realize that it makes sense to have a reliable person we can trust instead of a bank. We start to realize that centralized systems do not work out the way we though. Decentralization and the trust in people, actually people are two of the main values of Giveth. All these people, all over the world, who contribute their love and time, their work and ideas into Giveth are Unicorns. People with ideas who want to be part of the movement to change the world and make it a better place are Unicorns.

Giveth wants to give power back to people while decentralizing systems. One of Giveths goals and values is to make a donation system transparent, complete and absolute. We want to make donations transparent, direct and reliable. And even if Giveth is a charity organization, we are not just talking about donations. We are talking about the structure of governance within the organization, about reliable, accountable people within the Giveth galaxy, about the fact that everyone and anyone can actively participate in the platform, the organization and the idea of Giveth. The future of giving is not just giving ether to a cause that needs support. Giving can of course be monetary but can also be work force, bodys, love, time, minds and ideas for the greater good.

A lot of people already volunteer for a good cause, give time and love to a project or an idea. Giveth is on the way to build a platform that allows any one of us to make a real change in our community, our neighborhood. I will be able to put up a cause that is important in my direct neighborhood and will make a change and a direct impact in my community — and you can too. Because, you not what? No one knows better what’s going on in your neighborhood than you. Why should anyone donate money to a big, intransparent organization that pays CEO’s instead of directly to your cause? Your community wants to teach kids how to code, you want to feed the homeless people, you want to gather a couple of people and pick up all the rubbish at your local beach/town/park? Cool, put up a cause on the Giveth platform and start to do so. Giveth believes and trusts in people and in you. This is the highest value any organization can have: the trust in people.

Shaping the future needs more than just a couple of people, it needs all of us, the human community. So we are calling everyone, to become a Unicorn and join us in the movement to #maketheworldabtterplace.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way”

– in short the Unicorns were getting easier and easier to spot as they were coming together to reinvent the most fundamental thing there is.

Giveth is reinventing what it means to be human.

Humans are not the only life form which create but we have made it our ultimate evolutionary skill. To create is to give and vice versa. Giving is the most primal expression of creating, the most basic level. To voluntarily give something that is yours ( mind, body, property…) by leaving your ownership it becomes something for somebody else. In other words : something changed, transformed, got created.

So giving, What’s so special about that? Everybody does it in one way or another. But the giving the Unicorns are talking about is voluntarily or coercion-free! This means no one can force you in any way. Nor are there gatekeepers who have the power to interfere in the process of you giving. The Giveth Unicorns credo is very clear :

• Donating can be simple, fun and effective.

• Transparency and accountability can be the default.

• Every idea has the potential to make a positive impact, and it can be heard and funded in a decentralized fashion.

• Every Donor can have the ultimate say over how their donation is used.

• People that want to do good work for their cause can be rewarded for their actions.

• Real change and innovation comes about when communities join together to make the world a better place.

Unicorns have always been elusive creatures but now the stars in the Giveth Galaxy have aligned and they are popping up everywhere. Everywhere people are noticing what is being built, being reinvented and want to contribute. The moment you give your time, your energy, your love to this community and project, and help in some way in its existence, a new Unicorn is born.

Permissionless creation will make us unstoppable. It gives hope for the future and the confidence that there will always be people who act for the good of others and that they will succeed.

There are restrictive walls that contain possibility. Inside these walls passion and motivation are strangled by bureaucracy, limitations, and unrelated political tethers. Giveth breaks down these walls and exposes possibility to the wide open expanse contained only by the one natural restriction, capacity. Giveth is where possibility meets capacity, where, passion and motivation are free to flourish and where only nature itself can restrain us.

Those with the passion to change the world sit on one side of a vast and long continent, on the other side are those who want to help them and have the resources to make their vision possible. Giveth is a canal right through the middle of that continent, removing the need to go all the way around and convincing more and more people on both sides to make the journey from the world we live in to the world we believe in.

  • Giveth is a decentralized platform that facilitates better giving and better receiving, contributing to creating a better world
  • Giveth creates increased transparency and allows results based giving for individual donors, in turn inspiring creation of more and more givers and more and more change makers
  • Giveth believes in connecting change makers with those who want to support their mission, allowing them to avoid the mission creep that comes with chasing semi-related funding
  • Giveth believes in decentralized, democratic, liquid control of donor funds
  • Giveth believes in maximizing each gifts potential, utilizing blockchain technology to decrease administrative cost requirements
  • Giveth believes in giving change makers the funds and trust they need to make the change they want to see a reality

Unicorns, previously thought of as being as elusive as they are mysterious and wondrous are in actuality easier to see than one would think and you even possess what it takes to be one. With transparency at the height of their values, however, they are just as easily looked past as they are open with their ability to share and positively impact their world. Hiding in the plain sight of the blockchain forests, these Unicorns believe in a simplicity that allow the moving parts of the world they believe in to glide seamlessly together without the need of a centralized force to guide them. They hope to give the power over sharing and donation out to the very people participating in order to stimulate a positive change of attitude and integrity for the Decentralized Altruistic Communities that they are a part of. By using this value system based on participation, innovation, transparency, and accountability the Giveth Unicorns hope to use smart contracts to put donors in charge of how their funds are used, they hope to allow that direct relationship to create a rewarding system for all who are involved so that positivity is felt at the very core of each donation. Giveth Unicorns know that sharing should feel good and that goodness has the ability to shift attitudes of the world for the better, for a more common force toward one another acting accountable and responsible for what they are putting out into the place we’re all a part of.

Dear Galaxy,

If you’re reading this we’ve done it, all the work the Unicorn troopers fought for was not in vain.

The mission we set out to accomplish was clear:

Create a trustless system of self governing bodies, capable of uniting around causes they choose to support.

Build a platform that fosters experimentation, collaboration and open source initiatives.

Awaken the Giver within all the citizen of this Galaxy and beyond, by showing them how and where their contributions make a difference.

The Centralization forces were determined to keep the Galaxy under their control, well we couldn’t let that happen, not for our sake and the sake of generations to come.

To accomplish our mission we had to do something greater than simply unseating the unjust forces.

We had to show them a better way!

The way of the Unicorn.

We started a battle that will never end, the fight for truth, justice and transparency between citizens and powers is one that must live on forever.

It’s up to you to keep this fight alive all throughout your Galaxy, to inspire, incite and expose the truth for all to see.

This was the cause we chose to fight for, the one we believed mattered most to our generation.

Now it’s your turn to decide, what will you fight for?

We’ve given you the tools to sculpt your future, to build your community and free yourselves.

Use them wisely and never, EVER…… Forget!

The way of the Unicorn ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

Giveth is a global community focused on improving the world through blockchain technology.

Trustless systems like a distributed ledger allow us to eliminate the middle man, cut down costs and provide transparency and accountability. Our mission at Giveth is to bring this new reality to the world of charitable giving.

Although we recognize the important work performed by NGOs and philantropic institutions around the world, we believe that with blockchain technology we can improve and streamline this process by finally connecting the donor directly to the recipient through on-chain transactions.

This allows for a new level of engagement between givers and makers, between communities and sponsors between the developed and developing worlds.

Giveth is a community of communities. We are building a platform that provides the tools for individuals to get together, organize and fund their own projects.

We value honesty, transparency, freedom and accountability. We believe in the power of people to self-govern for the interest of the community.

Giveth is open to all individuals and communities who wish to build a better future together. Will you join us?

Urban dictionary explains a unicorn as: The rare creature who is able to give you the thing you always wanted but thought you you could never have.

I feel that is at of the heart of Giveth. So many people from all over the globe are coming together to build a tool that will change the future in ways we thought we could never could; creating impact that was impossible not long ago.

We see past borders, languages and currencies and are building a new way of helping each other without any of these traditional obstacles.

Giveth is for the do-er, the dreamer who desires to see their dream as reality, the heroes, and everyone out there who has a different expression of love.

Oxfam, consistently rated one of the best NGOs in the world and a household name in most western countries, is mired in a scandal over allegedly abusing of both people and funds in Haiti during the aid mission deployed after the hurricane Harvey. Not only this, but it is also accused of its employees exchanging aid for sexual favours, plain and simple sexual abuse. The case has opened the door for a cry of the nonprofit sector to uncover and denounce these practises, which seem to be more common than one would think.

Transparency and accountability in charitable donations have been put in check after the scandal broke out, with the International Development Secretary of the UK announcing a big audit of the organizations funded by public money, under threat of cutting the funding if their standards are not met. Presumably, such an audit will be expensive and will not bring much to light, as the system is fundamentally opaque, spending more taxpayers’ money that could be dedicated to social impact projects.

Despite some challenges, I genuinely believe that almost every person working in the development sector is in it to help other people and that they do the best they can. Until now, we didn’t have tools that allowed for a different governance and management of large amounts of aid funds… but now we do.

Campaign-based giving

Nowadays, one gives money to an organization and must trust them to use it properly. The money is given a priori, being a grant from the government, from a granting organization or from individuals. Once the money is in their bank account, it’s -by design of how the banking system works- opaque to external people: we must trust them again to have proper procedures in place to avoid mismanagement of such funds i.e. “Caligula orgy with prostitutes in Oxfam T-shirts”.

With Giveth you will be able to see how the project is laid out, Milestone by Milestone, and how much money is required for each and every part. If a Milestone is not achieved, or the Milestone Reviewers (more on this category of validators shortly) perceive misconduct, 1) this Milestone will not be approved and paid out and 2) the Reviewer can decide to send all of the unspent funds back to the original Givers to be donated to other projects.

The most common issue raised here is: what happens if the Milestone Reviewer(s) is/are ‘greased’ by the Milestone Manager to approve an underachieved Milestone or to turn a blind eye on inappropriate behaviour? I see this as an excellent opportunity to bring together agents that have no special interest in colluding: a grassroots organization, the local community leadership, the government and an independent observer. One could decide that all of these need to agree on the validation and submit proof, similar to the videos used in Giveth’s RewardDAO. Technically, since the figure of the Reviewer is just an Ethereum address, it can be a contract, it could be a multisig wallet held by these relevant stakeholders. Another, if slightly more complex, setup is that a percentage of all Givers to a Campaign need to approve the Milestone after reviewing proof. Using a Liquid Democracy governance system here would naturally concentrate voting power in people that are reputable and are perceived to be neutral in this particular Campaign or even Milestone.

I see this as a side benefit of Giveth’s Campaigns: the need to be in constant communication with Milestone Reviewers and Campaign Managers creates — apart from transparency — a true Community where problems are openly discussed and input comes from all sides, because everyone has stake in the game.

Communities solving problems

Thinking of the bigger picture, how can we really shake the giving ‘industry’ awake? Without questioning the expertise and indubitable economies of scale and know-how transfer of the big International NGOs, Giveth enables another sort of organization: The DAC, the Decentralized Altruistic Community. Can we do better than just trust Oxfam (or any equivalent INGO) to drop out of the air and deploy their tactics? The Giveth platform can be used for validation of Campaigns and Milestones, but … maybe we could go a step further.

Imagine the creation of a true DAC in Haiti, conformed by Givers, people on the ground (the ‘Makers’) and even representation of the INGOs, all communicating with each other and through an agreed form of governance that works to pledge resources the right way. This way we can make sure that Oxfam’s expertise is allocated where it can impact the most, in constant communication with other stakeholders and with fully transparent decision making.

You get some decision power, you get some more, and you get some too!

Does it sound complicated? After all, you are not an expert in Haiti… maybe you’ve never even been there! How are you supposed to choose where to pledge funds or to know which Campaigns are going to be the most impactful? Giveth has got you covered. With Liquid Pledging, a concept derived from liquid democracy, you can delegate the choice of your donations to Communities you perceive as experts: this can be an influential development group — Oxfam if you really must!- but also your former roommate’s social impact group, which was really into this ‘making a better world’ thing. You delegate to a DAC, and it can send your donation to its chosen Campaign, a lot like how charity is supposed to work nowadays, but with much more oversight. You will be able to track your donation, veto any decisions the delegates make and get connected to the people/communities running the Campaigns you will be funding.

Once you start down the rabbit hole, the possibilities are endless: You can delegate half of your pledged funds to a DAC specializing in disaster relief, which in turn will fund some trusted Campaigns for smaller specific problems. The other half you can delegate to your favourite Campaign focusing on improving education in your hometown or even to another DAC that brings together all education projects in your area. Be as local or global as you want!

Help us solve the challenges

The future is near. But not quite here yet, as this is not happening now. The main challenges are

  • Scalablity of the crypto ecosystem. Let’s face it, maybe we are not quite there yet. And I am not even speaking of unpredictable transaction fees raising the cost of donating and transactions not going through: Liquid Pledging is a complicated system that requires a lot of gas. Luckily Giveth has a good stop-gap solution.

If you are a Dev and/or working on scalability solutions, have a look at what ScalingNOW is doing here and join us in building the future of Ethereum!

  • Liquid pledging would benefit greatly from some sort of identity on the blockchain, integrated with governance tools like AragonOS. The UI/UX for most of these applications remains outside of the control of most individuals, let alone organizations in the humanitarian sector who shouldn’t have to focus on the technical side and should be able to interface seamlessly with the platform(s).

Our Social Coding circle pushes Open Source projects like BrightID for Proof-of-Identity and other great projects. Read more about them here!

  • Bridge Crypto — Fiat. How do you deal with international crypto transfers and especially the conversion of ETH (or whatever cryptocurrency Campaigns receive as donations) to fiat in order to pay for the expenses of the Campaigns?

If you are working on projects that are building solutions for the last mile, please get in touch!

  • There are also many unanswered questions around taxation for the organizations deploying the Campaigns. They are receiving donations in crypto currencies and how this is to be treated is not well defined for taxation in most jurisdictions right now.

If you are a lawyer and/or have good resources on the regulatory aspect, please hit me up or leave them in the comments!

Liquid Democracy

Welcome to the future of voting.

Or as some would say the Land of Possibilities :-)

So what IS liquid democracy?​

In addition to being simply a system of tokenized voting you can think of it as a hybrid between representative and direct democracy.

Instead of one person casting one vote, the system can become fractional. One vote can now be split in any number of ways between multiple delegates or sent entirely to your chosen delegate, and your delegate can delegate to someone else. Much delegation, so democracy.

As an example take a busy college student who just doesn’t have time to vote, she could delegate ½ her vote to her mom and ½ her vote to her professor. If either of them wanted they could allocate a portion of the vote or all of it to a popular politically active persona that acts as a representative for the local community and controls an influential % of the total vote.

Giveth is a perfect playground for implementing liquid democracy

Of course, the reason we’re explaining liquid democracy is because it is one of the core technologies that inspired Giveth’s Liquid Pledging system, and we see it as an important building block for the governance of DACs.

While there is no voting inherent in Giveth’s base layer, there is an opportunity to use a governance system like liquid democracy in the various roles that are filled currently by people such as Delegates or Reviewers. This would mean that that a delegate, instead of being one person, would become a smart contract that has liquid democracy built in so that the donors can elect several delegates to decide which projects get funded (we will likely use a “liquid plutocracy” model, the more you donate the more votes you get).

But wait there’s more, with liquid democracy + blockchain you have the ability to actually codify your vote.

Yes, I know, code what?

Codifying your vote could allow you to tag different delegates to represent you based on the subject matter for the initiative. This means that if one initiative has an economic tag your vote for that initiative would be automatically allocated to the delegate you want to represent you on the economic issues, if another initiative carries the environmental tag your vote would be automatically allocated to your environmental delegate. Very diverse, much effective.

Say an important issue comes up that you feel very strongly about. You can push a button and take your voting back and vote yourself, then push a button and put your delegation settings back the way they were.

You set the term limits, you can delegate for 20 seconds or 20 years!

Liquid democracy gives everybody the ability to delegate their vote accordingly or even to overstep the position of their representative keeping them accountable for their actions on a day to day spectrum instead of year to year.

No one knows exactly what the future of voting looks like, but with Giveth we can start experimenting with this incredible model while making the world a better place at the same time! Much vast, many possibility, sooo future!

Edit: for the current status of the development, more recent updates here

If you ever talked to a Giveth Unicorn chances are high we did not let you go before you understood what Giveth is all about — we’re a passionate bunch. If you haven’t met people like Griff Green, Jordi Baylina, Grace Torrellas, Vojtech Simetka and the many other great faces contributing to the Giveth Platform you might wonder what it is exactly we’re building and why.

To put it plain and simple: we want to make the process of giving to causes you believe in effective and transparent, and we are using blockchain technology to do so. In October 2016 the team started developing the DApp (Donation Application) and is now coming closer to the release of its Minimum Viable Product (MVP). In the build-up to this, we would like to take a moment to explain why we are creating the platform and give you a sneak peak of the user flow.

Wait, but why?

If you have ever donated to non-profits or charitable organizations chances are high your experience was similar to this one: on your way to the metro you got stopped by a convincing youth who got your name, mailing address and signature for a fixed monthly donation to a specific cause. Since that moment, a few times per year — if you’re lucky — you receive an old-school newsletter which you throw away without reading. You are left entirely in the dark about where your donation went, and the non-profit receives a monthly amount until you decide to cancel.

Giveth changes all this. As all donations are recorded on the Ethereum blockchain you can follow, in real-time, who gets your donations and why at a very granular level.

The Giveth platform has a simple result-based incentive structure: when funds are collected they are stored in our Vault and only after Milestones are completed, can the funds be withdrawn. The Giver’s funds are under their control until their donations are locked for a specific purpose.

This basic structure gives them a clear view on the various people involved in the process and the possibility to contact everyone directly. And if they don’t like what their funds are intended to be used for, they have time to block its use.

We are building the Future of Giving by cutting out the bureaucracy so that funds can be spent more efficiently and everyone can collaborate in making the world a better place.

Talk the Talk

We are re-engineering how donations are made, and with it, we had to reinvent the language to talk about it. The 3 key building blocks of the Giveth system are Communities (DACs), Campaigns and Milestones. A DAC — short for Decentralized Altruistic Community — is the group of people united around a cause they want to support. This DAC will fund and steer multiple Campaigns, which can in their turn also be supported by more than one DAC. A Campaign translates the dreams of a DAC into a more specific agenda to which action points are linked: we call these the Milestones. Milestones are the smallest entity within the Giveth system and are the last step in our donation flow. Once completed, the funds are released into the wild to reimburse and reward good people for their good work.

Building Blocks of Giveth
The 3 key building blocks of Giveth are Communities (DACs), Campaigns and Milestones.​

We focus on the technology so people can focus entirely on uniting around causes. In order to do so, we need to define some of the basic roles in our system.

A Giver can donate directly to a Campaign they believe in, or can decide to pledge funds to a DAC that will allocate these funds to appropriate Campaigns in the Giver’s name — we call this process Liquid pledging. By donating, the Giver automatically becomes part of the DAC and is connected with the rest of the community.

The Delegates are registered DAC members that take on the task of allocating funds sent to their DAC to one or more Campaigns.

The Makers are all the people within these campaigns making the change the DACs want to see in the world. There are a few specific roles the Makers have to fulfill.

  • The Campaign Managers are the Makers that create Campaigns, assign funds to specific Milestones and make sure their specific Campaign is a success.
  • The Milestone Managers are the Makers in charge of specific Milestones and need to assure these very specific actions are achieved as described.
  • The Recipients are the Makers that receive the funds when a Milestone is successfully completed.
Giveth Roles
Main roles within the Giveth Platform: Giver, Delegate, Campaign Manager, Milestone Manager, Recipient.​

Two additional roles have been created to guarantee the correct usage of funds.

  • The Campaign Reviewer can reject completion of any Milestone and can, as a strong security measure, even cancel a whole Campaign if it appears to be fraudulent.
  • The Milestone Reviewer’s role is to confirm the Milestone Manager really achieved the proposed goal or action described in the Milestone.

This brings us to the true power of the Giveth platform: at all times the Giver knows exactly what is happening to the donated funds, how these are being spent and is in full control through a transparent network of accountabilities. If a Milestone is canceled, the funds are returned to the Campaign. If a Campaign is canceled, the funds are automatically returned to the Delegates that supported it. If a Delegate quits, the funds are returned to the Giver. On top of this, one of the most revolutionary aspects of this system is that at any point up until the moment funds are locked into a Campaign, the Giver can decide to withdraw them.

Giveth Additonal Roles
Two extra roles guarantee the correct usage of funds: Campaign Reviewer and Milestone Reviewer.​

You can discover more about these roles and responsibilities by reading on in the product definition on our wiki.

Walk the Walk

The Giveth Donation Application is now in beta stage on testnet, with all of the roles described above integrated, and currently undergoing testing with a select team of volunteers.

Giveth co-founder Griff Green explains what the Giveth Donation Application is about.​

We always have opportunities for skilled developers to contribute to our project, and you can donate to `revolution.eth` to reward and incentivize the devs that are making the Giveth platform a reality. Please join our Slack and find out how you can contribute.

In the meantime, we will keep on building the platform and will share in the coming weeks and months how the different components work. Stay tuned for more!

All hands on for Giveth

A Trade leaves things as they were, with no external Surplus. A Gift creates a Surplus as it spreads. ~ Seth Godin

Giveth is exploring new territories and expanding its horizons: we are embarking on an exciting mission to enrich the Giveth Donation Application by making the core part of it, the donations, more sustainable. From enabling Givers to donate to the causes they believe in and providing a layer of transparency and accountability through our DApp, we will now be tackling the sustainability of the donation process itself. We want to create continuous streams of funding through the creation of economies around causes, by building a system of token bonding curves feeding cause-focused DAOs (with a unique governance model) on top of the Giveth DApp, in a collaboration with BlockScience.

Edit May 2019: for more on the Commons Stack initiative, read this most recent update by Jeff Emmett, for a technical deepdive by Abbey Titcomb go here.

From centralized Donations to sustainable Collaborations​

If you have been following Giveth closely, you will know by now that we are not your regular organization and are constantly changing our own collaboration models through many experiments, and that we are involved in many, many initiatives, seemingly not moving in just one specific direction, but actually, we are! We are a Decentralized Altruistic Community (DAC) focused on making the World a Better Place through the use of blockchain technology, and yes, this is a wide and ambitious mission. But we have a path we are on, well, actually we have several, and we are doing this on purpose, to make us more resilient, even antifragile. The Ethereum community and the blockchain space as a whole is in constant flux, so we are working on and supporting a wide array of different initiatives (we call it the Giveth Galaxy) that we believe are bringing lasting value to the wider community.

During this cryptowinter, we ourselves, as a non-profit blockchain-based entity, have been struggling quite a bit to keep financially afloat and have only been able to do this through a generous donation by an anonymous donor, but mostly through a constant stream of personal donations by our co-founder Griff Green, for which we are eternally grateful. This scarcity however got us to discuss our own sustainability quite a bit, and the importance of good, objective governance that will benefit our individual and collective interests, our ‘Commons’. Depending on pure goodwill, even if it happens in a transparent and accountable way, is not sustainable, not for us nor for any other altruistic community: it puts you in a scarcity mindset and is a heavy distraction from the cause(s) that unite you. This concern made us see more clearly than ever that we have to invest time in bringing Giving to the next level, and change the way humans collaborate.

1–2–3 — Infinity.​

First things first, we are very happy and proud to say that our flagship project, the Giveth DApp, currently in beta, is now feature-complete, bringing us very close to what we could call ‘Giveth 1.0’. This of course does not mean that we will stop working on the DApp, on the contrary, much more is coming, such as deploying our DApp on the xDAI chain, introducing governance solutions through Aragon, a complete UX overhaul and so much more. This is all in the making but in order to continue with this, we are currently focusing very hard on the funding part of the puzzle. We want to help forward the ecosystem itself through an ambitious token-engineering experiment, in collaboration with BlockScience. The target of this experiment is to transform communities around altruistic causes into entire economies and to build this on top of the Giveth DApp. In the coming months, we will be working hard on this initiative that will bring us at some point to what we like to call ‘Giveth 2.0’.

Now that we have traceable donations working in the DApp, we can start to experiment with new models to support both the organization as well as the funding of communities. Your support stays very, very welcome (all tokens accepted 🙏) but in the long run, we want to incentivize you so that you are no longer just a Giver, but have a real stake in the success of the community you will be supporting: we want to align the very human behavior of profit-seeking with socially beneficial behavior: to us this is the real Future of Giving.

We built the foundational layer of our Giveth DApp on the Ethereum blockchain and not on a centralized server to bring true accountability and transparency to decentralized governance experiments: there is an immutable piece of evidence of what happened with your funds. The true magic however, that will allow us to create sustainable streams of funding, lies hidden within the existing dynamics of blockchain technology. Every blockchain network in existence has aligned incentives around supporting the network itself: every ‘actor’ in the system, when acting in their own best interest, actually benefits the system. Miners earn inflation for supporting the network, developers hold the token hoping their efforts will raise its value, and users buy the token creating demand and pay transaction fees: it is a very simple and well-balanced ecosystem: helping yourself, helps the system to thrive, and very often it doesn’t even matter whether that system is useful or not.

We are building the Future Of Giving and are fascinated by these mechanisms, we want to use these self-sustaining models for actual good. The ‘Commons’ can be defined as “[…] resources that groups of people (communities, user groups) manage for individual and collective benefit.” We, and many communities like ours, that are organized around social impact causes, are suffering from scarcity, because we think about the collective benefit and ignore the individual, who needs to survive as well; this is unsustainable. By default, people will actually do the opposite and take their individual interest over that of the common good, which is often called the tragedy of the commons. In both cases, there is a major incentive alignment issue: either the individual gains but the collective suffers or the other way around. Witnessing for a while now these emerging, more sustainable systems, we believe it is time for the next step. By modeling the success of existing blockchain ecosystems (through the implementation of new cryptoeconomic primitives) we want to create abundance to support the Commons, thinking about both the collective as well as the individual interests.

Now, our goal at Giveth is to use token engineering, more specifically, Curation Markets, to bring this from a purely digital realm, into the real world. We will build it on top of our Dapp, and build it in such a way that it supports projects that benefit our common interest, or in other words, that will enable us to sustainably crowdfund the Commons. The initial work was to enable transparent and accountable donations on the blockchain, the next step is to move away from ‘donating’ altogether and to create a sustainable system: gifted funds become backed by a token of value in a circular economy. As Abbey Titcomb says:

“We believe the answer to the underfunding of social goods and underserved community contribution is to reframe social goods as self-governing and continuously funded commons.”

Wait but How?​

Through building the augmented bonding curve model created by BlockScience on top of our DApp we want to create continuously funded organizations. How does this work? We first learned about them through a post by Jeff Emmett, a Giveth collaborator, who explains the basic building blocks — a highly recommended read to learn more on how token bonding curves could enable a project to bootstrap funding and token value along with project success and popularity. You can find more references in Abbey Titcomb’s report on what we built at ETHDenver, and for all technical definitions and more theory, we refer you to Michael Zargham.

However, we would like to illustrate the theory now through a real life example of how this could work, imagining a future in which Giveth has already built this model into its DApp (also available in video format, narrated by Griff Green):

So imagine you live by the beach, and you have the habit of picking up trash regularly, but you see this is just not having the impact you desire: it doesn’t scale. For more impact you are also regularly donating to a nonprofit promising exactly this, large-scale impact but … all you see is a lot of marketing and a continuous request for more funds. This is all very frustrating.

At this point in time, you run into Jonathan, an activist who you often saw on the beach doing exactly what you do: cleaning up. He tells you about a new kid on the block: the ‘TrashHeroes’ and they are offering you something else. They invite you to not just give money but to actually help them steer the organization. In return for an amount you choose you will receive tokens, tokens that allow you to make decisions for the common good of the organization. On top of this, if you do a good job and the organization runs smoothly one day those tokens could be worth more than what you donated. This sounds too good to be true, but hey, you were donating funds anyways and with this one you get a say in the decisions!

So you give 10 xDAI (a representation of DAI token) and receive TrashHero Tokens, which you hear actually have value, in the real world. The value however, is not determined by an open market, but by a smart contract, which is actually the token bonding curve. So how does this work you ask? The price, the value of the TrashHero Token, is determined by the total supply of the token in general: if more people mint the token in return for xDAI, the price of the TrashHero Token goes up. If the supply goes down — when people burn their tokens and take money out of the contract the price of the token goes down. The big difference however with existing curve models, and which makes this one sustainable is two-fold. First, there is the curve itself which disincentivizes people who get in late to burn their tokens quickly, they need to keep these for a while if they want to make a profit. The second element is that people who get in early should be the people who are in it for the long haul, because they are the believers in the cause, they will most often be the experts. This is stimulated by preventing our pioneers from burning their tokens immediately: their tokens are locked until specific goals (which we call Milestones in our DApp) have been reached. In this way the collective interests you are fighting for are protected by default, the Commons needs those funds and outweigh your short-term self-interest, and you are incentivized to reach the set goals, the Milestones. This innovative system where everyone acts in their own self-interest, propels the Commons forward and pushes it to reach its set goals.

Back to our TrashHeroes that have invited you to be part of this initial group of experts who together have raised quite some xDAI to initialize the curve and the TrashHero Commons. One half, 50% of this xDAI, is locked in the smart contract, 50% of this xDAI is given to a DAO controlled by the TrashHero token holders to execute on their common interest, now baptized the TrashHero Commons. This Commons that supports the cause of cleaning up the beaches will now need to come up with good proposals to actually support this cause. As the Commons spends money, the tokens that were given to the group that initialized the curve will become unlocked periodically. This spending goes through Milestones you help create in the Giveth DApp: xDAI will be released once the initiative takers (the ‘Milestone Managers’) prove they have actually reached the goals they set that support the Commons’ cause (i.e. cleaning up beaches) — this is where the power of Giveth kicks in: you only get rewarded when you are being accountable.

The effective working of the TrashHero Commons is steered through a novel type of curation market governance system that allows you to use your TrashHero Tokens to signal priorities of tasks (Milestones) to be executed for the Commons to reach its goals. When a target that supports the goals of the Commons is proposed — for example, you get 15 friends together and make a Milestone for doing a side-by-side, step-by-step cleaning of 5 km of coast — and if it is supported by the TrashHero Token holders, it will receive funding from the Commons: xDAI will be sent to the Giveth Milestone. Then once the task has been completed, by documenting in pictures and videos the gathering of 3 tons of plastic and waste, the xDAI will be sent to the token bonding curve and you will be minted TrashHero Tokens, which you can then decide to burn immediately (without a need to speculate if you don’t want to) to receive your xDAI. When you or anyone else decides to burn your tokens, there is a fee that goes back into the Commons, which is the lever that will support more social good. To us, this is the Future of Giving: your socially beneficial behavior creates a surplus!

Griff Green’s talk at EthCC Paris on the evolutionary movement of human collaboration through blockchain (TrashHero Commons example starts at 10:55)​

Generosity generates Income​

Doing good feels good, and we hope our alternative economic system will attract more people who want to do good by not just giving but by staying involved. Instead of just simply donating, they get the opportunity to participate in a circular economy that supports the underlying cause. As more people will be encouraged to join the Commons, it incentivizes the people who initialized the curve to do even better, as the initial token holder’s funds will only be unlocked as the community actually does good, and spends the money. By being generous and by participating in good governance they can generate an actual financial return, an income — they create abundance.

Next to this, speculators will get involved, because that is what happens with tokens, and actually, its great! Secondary markets and the trading volume will hopefully create an extra flow of funds that isn’t normally part of a charitable community. After the initialization of the curve, the new donations create tokens that have no locking period, and 100% of those funds go straight into the bonding curve. When later participants burn their tokens they however always pay a fee, and this fee goes back into the Commons, which further support its goals. Every participant — whether it is an initial crowdfunder, a regular Giver or a speculator — should and will act in their own self-interest, which is steering the Commons to become a success, with everyone’s incentives aligned.

One more important note: this is a giant experiment and it may not work. However because of the use of the Giveth DApp the projects that are looking to clean up beaches, help the homeless or do research to cure Alzheimer are insulated from the governance experiment’s failure. The benefit is that these initiatives will exist on our Giveth DApp, so there are multiple ways to fund them. If a token holder really wants a specific Giveth Milestone to be supported but the governance of the Commons breaks down for one reason or another, they can burn their token (again helping the economy through a small fee), receive xDAI, and send it directly to the specific Milestone on the DApp they wanted to support. The Commons is one actor in an open system. What we will have done is create an extra way to fund projects on our DApp and most probably generate quite some buzz around that specific economy, a buzz supported both by the community as well as by speculators. Whatever happens, more people will know that this cause needs to be supported.

We started Building this Future of Giving Yesterday​

With every statement we make, new questions come up (for example this dialogue in our chat), and we do not have all the answers just yet. The models we use are however based on years of research by BlockScience, and are being refined and further documented by the team led by Michael Zargham with whom we are in a constant dialogue. To put this theory to the test, we wanted to build this yesterday, so that’s what we are doing. With the very limited funds we have available, we have decided to kickstart this project by addressing the wisdom and skills of the very core for whom we are building this: the Crowd, the Commons, You. We will build and hack this together with you, and we have already started doing this successfully. At ETHDenver we supported the Pactful Team, where we won the Impact Track by building a proof-of-concept user interface for our idea. We continued at EthParis and are now ramping up to build various components that will all tie into a working whole during Odyssey in the Netherlands, the biggest AI & Blockchain Hackathon in the world. We are the largest group participating and have been accepted with five teams, working on four of the hackathon’s tracks gathering a multi-talented team of 30+ people. We are uniting developers from many different projects in the Ethereum space to form a Commons and help us build this Future of Giving, together.

Abbey Titcomb with the Pactful Team, who won the Impact Track at ETHDenver​

More is coming very soon but in the meantime you can catch up by watching Griff Green’s EthCC talk, read Abbey Titcomb’s ETHDenver update, scrutinize the models at BlockScience, and keep yourself up-to-date by following us on Twitter. Next to this we are actively looking for more developers to help us build at future hackathons (such as ETHCapeTown) and beyond, so please come join our community via the Social Coding chat and signal your interest.

We hope you will join us on an adventure that has already started and is expanding our Giveth Galaxy, and invite you to be an active participant in this primordial Ethereum and Giveth-powered Commons that is Building The Future Of Giving. Join us Today.

Warm regards,

Giveth

Giveth TRACE is Live 🚀

· 5 min read

We are pleased to announce the official full release of Giveth TRACE — a platform for traceable, accountable, effective donations powered by blockchain technology.

Giveth TRACE homepage

In the early stages of Giveth, we set out to demystify philanthropic contributions to nonprofits by empowering Givers with the ability to see where and how their donations are being used. We released our MVP DApp in 2018 to be beta tested by the Giveth Galaxy, but faced huge obstacles. Scope creep, maintenance of a complex system, and an overly complicated user experience prevented a quick release, and then we simply ran out of funding. We were close to “calling it quits” on our original DApp in favour of a simpler, user-friendly version that we would design from scratch.

Fortunately for Givers everywhere, our all-star devs refused to give up. We assembled a team around the DApp and worked tirelessly for months on stabilization and beautification. With our hearts full of joy and our hats in our hands, we are proud to finally come out of beta and release TRACE to the world.

Giveth TRACE is no longer a wistful dream of something that could have been — it’s a reality!​

Allow us to proudly present a platform that lifts the veil between Givers and their donations in action. A platform that empowers projects to create highly customizable online representations to attract real supporters. A platform that emphasizes the development of trust between all parties — the Givers, the projects and the greater community. We proudly present: Giveth TRACE.

Memery - Traceable Donations

Project Verification

Verified Project Badge

Givers using TRACE know that their donations are going to top-quality legitimate projects thanks to our project verification system. In order to add a project as a Campaign on Giveth TRACE, a Maker must first add their project to giveth.io and apply to become verified. Currently this process is informal, but soon it will be integrated into the project flow. For now, if you want to verify your project, fill out this typeform and reach out in the #project-onboarding channel on our Discord.

Accountability

Campaigns represent the big picture for each project — projects use Campaigns to collect traceable donations and manage them transparently. Under each Campaign there can be multiple “Traces”, i.e. payments, bounties, or expenses. Traces specify how the project is using their donations to achieve the goals of the overarching Campaigns. When a Giver donates to a Campaign they can follow the flow of their donations. Whenever donations are moved from a Campaign to a Trace, the Giver is notified and can see exactly how their donations are used.

Traces are the only way for donations to leave Giveth TRACE. Every project on the platform will have to explain how they are using the donations before collecting them.

This way, the Campaigns are held accountable to the Givers and the Givers can see their donations in action!​

TRACE campaign page
Campaigns Live on Giveth TRACE​

Donor Empowerment

Not sure which Campaign to donate to? Giveth TRACE also offers “Communities”, which represent people and projects united by common goals and initiatives. When you donate to a Community, you are donating to a cause that you believe in! Communities can delegate donations to Campaigns or to specific Traces, and each time donations are delegated, the Giver can choose to veto the movement.

In this way, Giveth TRACE builds on blockchain technology with an added layer of donor empowerment that has never before been possible. Givers don’t have to trust that their donations are flowing to projects they believe in, they can actively ensure it.

But wait — there’s more…​

Free Gas for Giveth TRACE Projects

Memery - Free gas, gas station

On Giveth TRACE, Giveth pays the gas fees so projects don’t have to!​

Giveth TRACE makes use of two networks in order to address security and scalability issues. Our use of Rinkeby testnet makes it free to perform basic site interactions, such as creating a Trace, managing donations, or updating a profile. However, in order to collect or disburse donations from a Trace, Ethereum gas fees must still be paid to get the donations to the final recipient on mainnet. We are excited to financially support each project on Giveth TRACE while also protecting them from the difficult user experience and the complications of the Ethereum network, so we cover their gas costs!

You can see the total gas Giveth paid for each Campaign, Trace or Individual on TRACE — and can even share it with your friends.

Memery - Traceable Donations
Total Gas Paid for the Commons Stack Community Campaign on Giveth TRACE​

Our mission at Giveth is to bridge the non-profit and blockchain worlds, connecting people, ideas and resources with free, open source decentralized applications. The launch of Giveth TRACE and its ability to offer unique transparency, traceability, customization, empowerment and accountability is a major milestone in Building the Future of Giving!

So what are you waiting for? Head over to Giveth TRACE, try it out for yourself and let us know what you think!

The Unicorn DAC, a Non-hierarchical Decentralized Governance Experiment

· 11 min read
Lanski

Why are bosses necessary? They aren’t. Self-managed organizations exist all over the world, but there is no template for how a decentralized self-managed organization should work. Let us try to change that.

Self-managed organizations (those without a management middlemen layer and hierarchy) have to overcome a lot of hurdles when it comes to governance. For example, on one side, the direction of the organization cannot be dictated top-down by management and on the other side nobody can push responsibility up and “just do what they are told”.

These hurdles, Frederic Laloux, author of “Reinventing Organizations” suggests, exist mainly because traditional management practices and traditionally managed organizations are so prevalent that we have a lack of examples to follow. In other words, we might have never seen better! Moreover, there have been years and years of organizational research and practice on hierarchical structures (think both about an old-age tribe with a clear, visible head and also a large corporation with a twitter rant-prone CEO).

On top of that, we have new models of governance arising within blockchain structures or enabled by blockchain solutions (here’s a pretty good article that touches on some of the key points), although there is not so much literature on specifically non-hierarchical, egalitarian structures.

While there are great companies pushing the envelope in both blockchain governance and self-management, it’s time for us to investigate, explore and document different forms of non-hierarchical governance for organizations. Giveth’s Governance Circle, and particularly Loie, whose goal is to foster governance experiments, is launching the Unicorn DAC on that regard. Lorelei devoted countless hours to ideate, iterate and bring to life this project with the rest of the Unicorns… and this is the result.

Stepping up the game​

Operationally, Giveth works much like a swarm. Around a strong core of main contributors, collaborators that are aligned with the purpose of Giveth come and go and offer their time, ideas and work. Some of these collaborators do one assignment and leave and others stay collaborating on the periphery but for the longest time. They are rewarded through a mechanism called RewardDAO, with which everyone can get points that then can be exchanged for ether if they upload a video on our Wall of Fame or to the DApp itself.

But these points are awarded somewhat arbitrarily and there’s a limited amount of monthly ether that goes to fund these rewards. Hence, the amount that collaborators receive in ether can vary depending on other people’s contributions and points. We think it’s a great introductory system for getting into the Giveth Galaxy, but might not be ideal as a fully decentralized non-hierarchical governance model. In fact, it’s not really a complete governance model, as it doesn’t necessarily steer Giveth’s big decisions, but our experience tells us that it does motivate people to take initiative, talk to the most committed contributors and suggest new projects and initiatives.

Put your money where your purpose is​

To be clear, governance in self-managed organizations boils down to who decides — and how it is decided — what the organization dedicates its resources to?

So in the case of Giveth, the question was: How could we empower everyone that is fully committed to Giveth to decide what actions and what strategic direction should the organization take? And even further, could we do that in a way that we leverage our own products, i.e. the Giveth DApp? -we do like our #dogfooding!

Well, the Giveth DApp allows Makers to create DACs, Campaigns and Milestones, and Givers to fund whatever change they want to see realized in the world. Could we not create a DAC that Unicorns can use to propose projects through Milestones, and other Unicorns can fund them if they think they are aligned with Giveth’s purpose? We would distribute money to our Unicorns — this group of core contributors — and they could fund any Milestone they wanted.

What better way to steer an organization than by democratizing both the access to resources and the power to propose actions and then let everyone actually put resources where the Giveth purpose lies the strongest?

Sometimes Unicorns will decide to fund already existing Milestones, and sometimes they will create a new bounty. This gives everyone the power to suggest a project, give it a price tag, and if the funding target gets reached, empower and pay this person to make it happen. If it doesn’t get funded, it would mean that the project was possibly not so aligned with the general feeling and purpose anyway.

Examples of funded proposals:

a) Lorelei is often frustrated by the lack of sharing info in the Ethereum community. Everybody seems to be having the same conversations but no one is hearing each other. When she hears about Tennagraph, the community signaling aggregator to answer just this need, she becomes very passionate about it and decides to use her Unicorn DAC delegation allowance to fund Deam to go to Web3 Summit and raise awareness and adoption for Tennagraph!

b) Lanski has identified a feature for our DApp that a bunch of Makers would like to have in the platform. It might not seem it’s a priority from a technical point of view, but as a matter of fact, all the feedback that he is receiving from the users mentions that particular need. He assesses the cost with the DApp team and creates a Milestone where they (the DApp team) are the beneficiary. The work, though, is too expensive and he cannot pay it on his own, but Lorelei realizes how important the feature is and funds the Milestone too so the DApp team can go ahead and build it to claim the Milestone.

Example of an unsuccessful proposal:

Lanski wants to make stickers of Giveth’s logo to stick all over the world — for marketing purposes. Everyone has got some stickers left from the last batch, but not enough to cover half of the world with them, so he wants to make MORE. But the general consensus is that we are publicizing well and doing the right outreach in the circles that we want to attract at this stage, so nobody actually funds the Milestone. Sorry Lanski, maybe later when we decide to do a publicity campaign for the general public!

Ins and outs of the Unicorn DAC​

This Governance experiment is precisely that, an experiment. And the initial parameters are sort of arbitrarily defined and will be polished as we go along.

  1. We’ve been a community gathered around shared principles and purpose for a while now, but never had an official onboarding process because there’s no clear entity to be onboarded to. Now, we have the opportunity to come together around these agreements and create a membrane that gathers and recognizes the most committed of us as we join the Unicorn DAC. You can read about our Onboarding Process here, which ensures commitment to Giveth’s purpose and alignment with our principles in order to opt to be part of the DAC.
  2. The resource allowance per head will be the equivalent in ether to 600 USD every week. In order for people not to fund only their own Milestones, we have capped the amount people can put into their own Milestones at 150 USD, so 450 will be used to decide on other people’s initiatives. Unicorns don’t have to use the full 600 USD every week if they feel that there are no interesting projects to fund, or the ones that are truly interesting are already fully funded.
  3. Needless to say, people can choose NOT to fund any of their own Milestones. The reason why we allow people to self-fund their Milestones for a certain amount is to facilitate the funding of menial or uninteresting jobs that have to be done, but they would waste people’s time and resources if they had to be reviewed and funded by other unicorns.
  4. We cannot expect people to feel connected to a purpose by only chipping money into Milestones. Hence, in order to keep purpose alive, we have a once a month Unicorn Meeting! Here, we discuss which projects we delegated to and why it is aligned to Giveth.
  5. As a rule of thumb, Milestones will be created by those who hold roles related to the matter at hand. That’s not to say that people can’t have great ideas outside of their roles, but they should follow the advice process and certainly consult with those who hold relevant roles before taking action, even if it is merely for keeping information flows going. Roles are evaluated on how well they have been fulfilled in a peer review system every month.

MVPing our way through it​

We are ready to try the Unicorn DAC and carve our own way in decentralized governance practices. As the experiment that it is, we do expect some issues to come up, and we have already identified a few:

  1. Dogfooding is our motto because we believe the Giveth DApp is a great tool. Nevertheless, it does not yet have the advanced functionalities of a compounded delegation system that would allow you to allocate only up to a percentage of funds into your own Milestones and the rest to others. We will track donations manually at this point while we look for a solution, be it homemade or leveraging Aragon.
  2. Foreign influence. Our DAC will always be public, transparent and held to the highest standards, but the fact that it’s an open way to fund the projects that Giveth undertakes, it could be exposed to an admittedly unlikely vector of attack where a powerful party decides to fund specific Milestones or projects that are on the periphery of the purpose and this acts in detriment of the best direction to take. This would be a similar attack to sovereignty to the IMF dictating policies to countries in exchange for bailouts or access to concessional loans.
  3. That said, we have funds to support this initiative for a limited period of time, and since Giveth is a non-profit blockchain entity that accepts donations, if you are a donor and want to support Blockchain4Good projects PLUS a decentralized non-hierarchical governance experiment like the Unicorn DAC, we are all ears (and eyes!): hit us up on Riot or Twitter or fund us directly!

Already winning​

The Unicorn DAC was presented during DevCon4 at the Aragon Dream DAO contest… and it won the runner-up prize! 250 ANT + 250 DAI for making it a reality! Aragon and Giveth (and the Unicorn DAC in particular) share the basic principles of decentralization and non-hierarchicality. We see Aragon as the perfect tool to facilitate and enable this governance experiment.

Have a look at Lorelei pitching at minute 58:15 below!

#winning

But… why?​

It is worth reproducing a conversation I had with Lorelei on the reason to spend money and effort trying to devise and implement untested ways of governance:

“Is it appropriate to answer this question with a meme?

Santa Gives Unicorns

Ha, but in all seriousness, the Unicorn DAC takes these decentralization experiments within. Any good mission reaches as far out into the world as it does into its creator, which in this case is us, the Ethereum community. We can yab about decentralization of power all day while at home we still have one or a privileged few making the influential calls on how money is spent, and this DAC offers a solution to that.”

We are launching this experiment to change how the world looks at self-management. We believe there are more human ways to interact and organize than the rigid, sometimes alienating structures of today.

Come join our dialog in our Riot or share your ideas below — they will be read and discussed! Participate and join us in the revolution of management!

Enter the Unicorn DAC.

The Giveth DAC — the community working on the DApp and many other projects — is funded through our Donation Application. We ourselves depend on you, on Givers: the people out there who believe a tool like this should be a reality, individuals who want to help us to make the World a Better Place. If you want to be one of our favorite Unicorns, go to donate.giveth.io and claim your space on our leaderboard, donate directly in the DApp (right here) or come talk to Griff or Kris on Riot, and tell us how you’d like to contribute. ❤

It is our great pleasure to officially introduce the GIVeconomy — an economy that rewards and empowers those who give to projects, to societies, and to the world.

At Giveth, we’ve been Building the Future of Giving since day one. We started in 2016 by writing the MiniMe token and the Vault contracts, building open-source infrastructure and using it for our donation applications (DApps). Fast forward to this year, we released giveth.io for streamlined P2P giving and Giveth TRACE for customizable fund management and traceable donations, both powered by blockchain technology. These are the building blocks that we’ve been developing to realize our vision for the future. A future in which…

Giving is effortless and people all around the world are rewarded for creating positive change.

Today, our dreams enter reality as we proudly announce the GIVeconomy: An economy that supports projects that create value for society and encourages on-the-ground change-makers to enter web3. An economy that empowers and rewards donors for giving. And, fundamentally, an economy that is owned and governed by those who give.

The GIV Token​

GIV is the governance token that fuels and directs the GIVeconomy. GIV holders are empowered to collectively coordinate around shared resources and fund initiatives that shape the Future of Giving.

Token Info​

  • Token Address on Mainnet: 0x900db999074d9277c5da2a43f252d74366230da0
  • Token Address on xDai: 0x4f4F9b8D5B4d0Dc10506e5551B0513B61fD59e75

Distribution​

At inception, the GIVeconomy has an initial circulating supply of 17.05 million GIV which is available to claim by the Giveth “trusted seed” in the GIVdrop. The distribution of all GIV across the GIViverse is as follows:

GIVdrop distribution

Past contributors, crypto donors & Giveth users make up 17.05% of the GIViverse. We’ve allocated 26.95% of GIV to future contributors, the rGIV DAO treasury & future roadmap projects (described at the end of this post) as part of our progressive decentralization. The rest is fueling our GIVeconomy pillars:

  • 33% allocated to the GIVgarden common pool to fund proposals governed by GIV holders with conviction voting.
  • 13% allocated to reward donors to verified projects with GIV from our GIVbacks program.
  • 10% allocated to reward liquidity providers and stakers in the GIVfarm.

The GIVdrop​

To initialize a DAO led by Givers, we have created the GIVdrop. With the GIVdrop, 17.05% of the initial supply has been distributed to the Giveth trusted seed — crypto philanthropists, Giveth users & contributors, and Blockchain4good heroes. These are value-aligned individuals that have been working, directly or indirectly, to further Giveth’s mission, and now are being brought into an ecosystem of collective support, abundance and value-creation. With no VCs or presales, the GIVeconomy is kicked off by the donors, of the donors and for the donors.

To read more about the GIVdrop and eligibility, check out our documentation or see if you qualify.

The GIVstream​

The GIVstream provides a continuous flow of GIV to GIVeconomy participants. We call it the expanding GIViverse. The GIVeconomy begins humbly but as time passes, the GIViverse expands and GIV is streamed out to our community of GIVers. In this way, as the GIVeconomy grows & stabilizes, we empower those who support the Giveth ecosystem with increasing governance rights.

GIVstream expansion

Those who receive the GIVdrop also receive a GIVstream. Anyone can increase their GIV/week flowrate by participating in the GIVeconomy through GIVbacks, the GIVgarden or the GIVfarm. To learn more, check out our documentation or see your GIVstream flowing.

GIVeconomy Starting Line​

We’re launching the GIVeconomy with three key pillars — GIVbacks, the GIVfarm, and the GIVgarden.

GIVbacks​

GIVbacks meme
h/t to @griff & our #Meme channel in Discord​

GIVbacks is a paradigm shift for the donation space. Instead of relying on sacrifice to drive value creation, we are rewarding the givers. With GIVbacks, 1 million GIV is available to give to donors to verified projects on Giveth every 2 weeks!

The GIVbacks program has multiple advantages:

  • It attracts donors — and therefore great projects — to Giveth.
  • It ensures the quality of projects on Giveth using our Project Verification system.
  • It “gives back” to donors for supporting on-the-ground teams adding value to society.
  • It gives donors governance rights so they can direct the Future of Giving.

Thanks to our verification team and our recent integration with The Giving Block, Givers have over 700 fully-vetted projects to choose from! To learn more about GIVbacks, check out our documentation.

GIVgarden​

giveconomy banner
h/t @mateodaza & our #memes channel in Discord​

The GIVgarden is the decentralized governance platform for Giveth and the GIVeconomy. Powered by 1hive, the GIVgarden is where GIV holders can make and vote on proposals to fund value-aligned initiatives that shape the Future of Giving. It has four main components:

  1. Conviction Voting for fund management
  2. Tao Voting for executing on-chain decisions
  3. Our Covenant that outlines standards for on-chain and off-chain community behaviour, and
  4. Celeste as a decentralized court to settle disputes.

To learn more about the GIVgarden, check out our documentation.

GIVfarm​

givfarm homepage![](https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/0*GHRbTc7_MidaoMI9)

For the GIVeconomy to function, GIV must be easy to acquire. The GIVfarm is the place to grow and harvest rewards while supporting the GIVeconomy by providing liquidity for GIV! We have farming opportunities on Ethereum Mainnet (ETH) and xDai Network (Gnosis chain), and 35 million GIV are allocated to the rewards program for the first 6 months. A further 65 million GIV has been allocated to provide future farming opportunities. Farms are LIVE now and rewards are BOUNTIFUL! 🌾 Check it out here or read more in our documentation. h/t to our partners at DAppNode and BrightID for supporting GIVfarm development!

Future Plans​

The launch of GIV and everything above is only the beginning for the GIVeconomy — we’re already crafting the next phase in the Future of Giving. We’re developing systems that completely change the way societies create and reward the creation of public goods.

future plans meme
h/t @karmaticacid & our #memes channel in Discord​

We’ve pre-allocated 80 million GIV to fund the development of the following projects. These ideas are raw, exciting, and beautiful and we are heaven-bent on bringing them to fruition! Here’s a quick breakdown of what we’re planning next.

GIVcuration​

GIVcuration will decentralize GIVbacks! Community members will be able to signal support by staking GIV on projects, and their signal will grow like in Conviction Voting. In GIVbacks rounds, donors who give to community-favoured projects will get more GIVbacks, and GIVcurators will earn rewards on their staked GIV.

GIVmatching​

We plan to implement a donation matching system for projects on Giveth using Causes. Donors will be able to donate to Cause categories — like environmental regeneration or open-source software — and the funds collected will then be distributed to projects using quadratic funding, h/t to our friends at Gitcoin.

GIVfi​

The intention with GIVfi is to create a sustainable way of maintaining funds in the GIVgarden common pool. While donations on the DApp are waiting to be disbursed, they will be generating interest that can be used to buy GIV on the open market and send it to the GIVgarden for funding initiatives using Conviction Voting.

GURVES​

This is the real dream! We want projects on Giveth to evolve into their own microeconomies, and for the platform to become a place for crypto impact investment. This is GURVES (working title) — GIV token holders who stake GIV on a project will eventually be able to “opt-in” to initialize a GIV-backed bonding curve for that project.

gurves meme
h/t @karmaticacid & our #memes channel in Discord​

With GURVES, the GIVbacks program will transform! Whenever donors donate to a GURVE project, they will get GIVbacks and some of that GIV will go into the GURVE to mint them “project tokens” & in effect, raise the price of the project token. This way, non-profits who advance in the Giveth ecosystem earn their own economic systems that will turn donors into investors and volunteers into shareholders.

But wait, there’s more…​

The core team at Giveth is committed to executing the above roadmap, but this is a DAO and we aren’t alone in steering the ship! 33% of the token supply has been allocated to the GIVgarden common pool to fund the proposals that the Giveth community believe in.

Giveth has been in the crypto donation scene since 2016. We rescued 210 million dollars from the Parity multisig attack, we ran the first scaling-focused Ethereum conference, we created fee-free donation applications, we implemented smooth on-ramps for nonprofits to enter the crypto scene, and that was all solely funded by donations.

The launch of the GIVeconomy is a huge milestone but still just one more step towards building a Future of Giving that we can all be proud of. A future where value-creation for society is rewarded, where altruism becomes profitable, where communities of value-aligned supporters grow and prosper. A future in which we regenerate the earth, we build meaningful connections with each other, we revolutionize economic systems, evolve human coordination and we create societies based on decentralization, freedom, community and love.

Welcome to the GIVeconomy​

Hello friends and fans of Giveth! This is one part of a series of short transparency posts where we keep you in the loop with updates on what’s in development for giveth.io.

Our new DApp went live at giveth.io on March 24, 2021, and since then we got some great feedback from our testers and community, and we’ve been hard at work fixing bugs and adding new features.

First, we addressed the issue of gas fees not being calculated correctly, added an informative banner, and enabled users to login directly on xDai chain. We disabled the ability of a project creator to use a contract address for their project so that donations to all projects can be done either on Mainnet or xDai. We also added more tokens to our list in order to allow the Giver to donate with even more flexibility!

We onboarded a new member into our dev team and thanks to him we now have functional automated testing that allows us to make changes to the DApp in development and then push to our testing site with greater confidence.

Next we tackled a bigger fish: the development and implementation of a quality score, sorting/filtering method, and search function to add greater flow and organization to the projects page.

Magic Sorting

Now the projects are sorted by default using a “quality score” — a combination of number of likes, number of donations and quality of project description. We have also added the ability for the user to filter projects by category, and to change the sorting method from the default to “number of likes” or “amount raised”.

Lastly, you are now able to use the search bar to quickly and easily find the exact project you want to view or Give to!

Filter and Sort on Giveth.io
“Filter by Category”, “Sort By” and “Search Projects” Features on Giveth.io​

Another exciting update is that we’re now using Segment analytics and Autopilot to track activity on the DApp and send appropriate corresponding notifications. We also worked on some internal organization in our Discord server that enables us to receive notifications so we can monitor site actions (such as new project creation, new donation, etc.) in-house.

In the next sprint we’re excited to continue with QA by getting email notifications working smoothly and ensuring that the donation amount (at time of donation) is being calculated and added to the database correctly. We also plan to add rich text formatting to the project creation flow, and enable the Maker to add videos and/or images to their project description. Furthermore, we are now developing systems for project verification to increase the quality of projects on the DApp.

In the coming weeks we will be investigating fiat integration for on-ramping and off-ramping solutions, and continuing to work on creating a white-label option.

As always, we are committed to building the future of giving based on feedback from you, our community! Let us know what you’d like to see us work on in future sprints by trying out the DApp and sharing your thoughts in our Discord.

We’re back with another development update from our recent sprint cycle! Read on to stay in-the-know on what’s dAppening at giveth.io

In this past sprint, we discovered in our testing a wee little bug in our “sort” feature that was causing only the pre-loaded projects to be sorted. Rest assured, we squashed that bug and now the sort/filter/search functionality is working smoothly. We have documented how to obtain a project with a high “quality score” in our Giveth docs. Makers can now ensure that they’re doing everything they can to see their projects rise to the top!

We’ve upgraded the projects page as well with “infinite scroll”, allowing the user to scroll down the page as new projects load automatically.

Infinite Scroll is fun

To further improve upon the quality of projects on our dApp, our team has been working on the new project verification method. We are developing a process in which Makers can submit their projects for review by our team and potentially achieve “verified” status. In the future, verified projects will be eligible for some exciting benefits 😉

Bob Ross for Giveth4Change

If you haven’t heard yet, we launched the “Change Maker Campaign” with #giveth4change, encouraging Makers to creatively share their stories on how they are making a positive impact in the world we live in. Our favourite projects are going to be highlighted across the Giveth social network, helping them gain cred and support!

It runs until May 12, 2021, so it’s not too late to submit your projects!

Coming with our next sprint, we’ll be putting the finishing touches on rich text formatting for project descriptions so Makers can add photos, embed videos, create lists, format texts, and customize the presentation of their project information.

We’re also continuing to improve email notifications so that our users get appropriate and useful emails in accordance with their interactions on Giveth.

Further adding to the dApp, we’ll be integrating an embedded support chat so that users on giveth.io can ask questions directly to our team while using the platform.

Still in the works is the implementation of efficient methods of fiat on-ramping and off-ramping, and we now have more of our team members focusing efforts on resolving this long standing issue.

As always, we are committed to building the future of giving based on feedback from you, our community! Let us know what you’d like to see us work on in future sprints by trying out the DApp and sharing your thoughts in our Discord.

Upholding our values of Transparency and Accountability by sharing recent development updates from this past sprint.

In this past sprint, we worked out the kinks on our rich text editor, allowing Makers to add photos, videos, numbered lists, font styles, headers and more to project descriptions and updates! This should be ready to go on giveth.io this week. If you’re a project owner, be sure to log-on and update your description to get potential Givers even more excited about what you’ve been up to.

Rich Text Editor Embedded in Create-a-Project
Rich Text Editor Embedded in Create-a-Project​

We also spent some time optimizing the presentation of our Dapp for Mobile, fixing some visual inconsistencies and improving overall usability. We improved upon our email notifications, ensuring that Givers and Makers receive confirmation when a donation is made.

We developed and implemented automated testing for the create-a-project flow and updated the testing guidelines in our documentation — two measures to ensure that new features work as intended.

We also addressed a few bugs: ensured that cancelled projects don’t show up in the projects list, fixed pricing, and rerouted external links for xDai donations to blockscout.

One of our all-star developers also surprised us this past sprint with a proof of concept: building Giveth.io using Next.js and Vercel instead of Gatsby and Netlify. Once we make sure all our functionality is bug-free, this change will drastically improve the UX. We’re talking faster site build, fewer issues on loading and updating, and an overall snappier site experience.

In the future, we’re going to be enhancing the UI so Makers will be able to upload photos via Unsplash when editing or creating a project. We are in the process of updating our Join, About, Contact and Support sections to the most recent info. We are also still working on the integration of an embedded chat bridged directly to our team, and project/profile verification using 3box or other.

Finally, the most exciting update to share is that we are working on giving the site a little makeover. We won’t give too much away, but here’s a little sneak peak of the new design:

Development and PR Testing​

  1. The Giveth Dapp is auto deployed from the develop branch and is live on Rinkeby develop.giveth.io. All pull requests are autodeployed, and the PR preview will be generated upon submission. To learn how to access PR previews see Development Process & Quality Assurance on our wiki.
  2. In order to use the DApp you will need to create account. If this is your first time, click "sign up" to create an account. If you already have a valid keychain file, use it to sign in.
  3. You will need test ether on the Rinkeby network. Go to the "wallet" page to see your new address (0x..). Copy that address, and use the Faucet to get some: https://faucet.rinkeby.io/.

Deployment Environments​

At Giveth, we are using the gitflow branching model to deploy to 4 different environments.

In this scenario though they probably wouldn't have to because the bridge funds can be escaped to the funding multisig. This is the only scenario that could be a serious risk to the funds in the bridge vault.

Creating Issues​

Creating Github issues is essential to ensure bug fixes or features are tracked properly and relevant information can be organized, and consolidated. The new issue template is a guide only, feel free to delete any heading that you don't use.

Labels will help add context to your issue, please use them so other developers can get a better understanding of issues at a glance and pick them up. Some commonly used labels in All-Devs are:

fast follow - Priority features or improvements following a product launch or version release.

documentation - Requesting creation or updates of technical documentation.

bugs - Functionality or feature of a product that is broken or not working as intended

feature request - Requesting for a new feature or functionality to be added to a product

design needed - Requesting support from the design team to create assets relevant to this issue

question - There is a pending question inside this issue that needs a response in order to move forward

security - Security issue or improvement

UI - This issue relates to the User Interface of a given product

UX - This issue relates to the User Experience of a given product

Ceremonies​

We host in the Giveth Discord many Developer meetings throughout the week including:

  • Daily Dev Standups from Tuesday to Thursday at 6:30am GMT-6
  • All-Devs Sync weekly on Mondays at 10:00am GMT-6
  • GIVeconomy Sync weekly on Wednesdays at 8:00am GMT-6

These meetings are important places to stay up to date with DApp development and to integrate with the Giveth Team as a Development Contributor.

Sprint Management​

Framework: We’re practicing mostly Scrum, in biweekly iterations (called sprints), sometimes based on project situations we move to KanBan.

What is Scrum?​

In scrum, the sprint is a set period of time where all the work is done. However, before you can leap into action you have to set up the sprint. You need to decide on how long the time box is going to be, the sprint goal, and where you're going to start. The sprint planning session kicks off the sprint by setting the agenda and focus.

  • The What – The product owner describes the objective(or goal) of the sprint and what backlog items contribute to that goal. The scrum team decides what can be done in the coming sprint and what they will do during the sprint to make that happen.

  • The How – The development team plans the work necessary to deliver the sprint goal. Ultimately, the resulting sprint plan is a negotiation between the development team and product owner based on value and effort.

  • The Who – You cannot do sprint planning without the product owner or the development team. The product owner defines the goal based on the value that they seek. The development team needs to understand how they can or cannot deliver that goal. If either is missing from this event it makes planning the sprint almost impossible.

  • The Inputs – A great starting point for the sprint plan is the product backlog as it provides a list of ‘stuff’ that could potentially be part of the current sprint. The team should also look at the existing work done in the increment and have a view to capacity.

  • The Outputs – The most important outcome for the sprint planning meeting is that the team can describe the goal of the sprint and how it will start working toward that goal. This is made visible in the sprint backlog.

sprint planning

Before the iteration starts, you may need to have your expected total contribution hours in Giveth Resource Planning Spreadsheet, the link usually gets shared in the Discord dev channel before the sprint meeting. You can find the sprint sheet and update the following cells:

resource planning spreadsheet

It helps the Product Managers (PMs) to plan for the resources better and know if they are able to meet the milestone in each sprint or not. If you couldn’t find time to fill out the spreadsheet, you may be asked to do so during the meeting or whenever you can have an estimate, just DM it to PMs or put it in the dev channel.

The usual sprint planning goes like this:

  1. PMs bring the issues (Preferably User Stories to the planning meeting, describe it and make sure it’s clear for the team to start implementing.
  2. PM facilitates talks between devs to make it as clear as it can be.
  3. PM asks for estimations in Story Points (Story Points are the unit of minimum effort spent on a product which can be delivered asap, like a simple bug fix, for example, could take half of a working day. )
  4. PM starts building “Sprint Backlog” with prioritizing the issues and makes sure the total amount of Story Points are proportionate with the total capacity of the teams and contributors.
  5. Everyone agrees on the sprint plan and commits to the expected goal.

Cryptocurrency donations

What is and why Cryptocurrency?​

Simply, it is a secure form of digital currency that can be transferred anywhere in the world peer-to-peer, similar to email (where the email's server is replaced with a decentralized network).

More technically, Bitcoin is a type of digital currency that uses cryptography and open source software to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank. There is a distinction between Bitcoin, a digital currency, and blockchain the technology, which has many additional potential use cases beyond the currency.

Using cryptocurrency for sending and receiving donations has many advantages against using 'fiat' or regular currency. With the implementation of the blockchain, crypto transactions are recorded and forever stored on the digital ledger or 'blockchain' making currency donations and distribution transparent.

What is a blockchain?​

A blockchain is a decentralized online ledger that is distributed across a network recording all the transactions being made on it. This ledger is continuously updated and distributed. Since there are many copies being updated and verified synchronously, it prevents one bad actor from manipulating the data. In other cryptocurrencies this same technology is being taken to a whole other level.

What is and why choose Ethereum?​

It's the world's programmable blockchain. Ethereum builds on Bitcoin's innovation, with some big differences. Both let you use digital money without payment providers or banks. But Ethereum is programmable, so you can also use it for lots of different digital assets – even Bitcoin! This also means Ethereum is for more than payments. It's a marketplace of financial services, games and apps that can't steal your data or censor you.

On Giveth we use these programmable ethereum blocks to create applications that facilitate donations. In the near future we will be using this same technology to potentially mint our own tokens and precipitate the GIVing economy.

How does it work in the context of the application?​

One of these superpowers is to create dApps or Decentralized Applications, these are applications programmed onto the blockchain. dApps can be programmed to work as smart contracts receiving, holding and distributing currency as per the terms written into the contract. This feature removes the need for banks and/or lawyers, cutting through red tape and allowing project creators more autonomy.

When you create or donate to a project, you are interacting with the Giveth dApp. Donations sent or received are recorded on the blockchain and can be viewed by anyone, anytime and anywhere. As donations are faciliated by the Giveth dApp's code, transactions thus can be done straight A -> B without anyone else needing to be involved.

One of the other superpowers is the ability for developers to create tokens or 'coins' which can create alternative economies based on the functionality programmed onto the coin. Giveth is in the works of implementing its own version of a token which will amplify the potential of donations. More on this is in development!

Integration & Testing​

Integration of new features is done by the development team after a DApp dev meeting where PRs are reviewed. After the PRs are reviewed and fixed, they are merged to the develop branch. Testing of the new features is done in the develop environment to ensure the features do what they say and work well with the rest of the DApp.

Quality Assurance Testing​

After new features are integrated and dev tested in the develop environment, developers will ping testers with requests or updates in the Giveth TRACE Dev Channel on Discord. Testing should not be done by developers and is open to anyone who wishes to contribute.

Production Deployment​

Only once all the newly introduced bugs are removed in the develop branch it can be merged to master and pushed to production. It is done manually by DApp devteam (by @aminlatifi and @MohammadPCh).

To deploy the newest version of feathers-giveth

$ ssh user@feathers.alpha.giveth.io

$ cd /home/deploy/feathers-giveth/
$ sudo -u deploy bash

$ git pull

$ yarn install --pure-lockfile
$ yarn serve

Next, check the feathers deploy status

$ pm2 logs

If the logs are clear, the last step is to deploy the latest master branch commit on Netlify and locking the deploy.

FAQ​

What is the definition of a feature?

A Feature is any non-trivial improvement (less than 10 lines of code). Most features have issue in the corresponding Github Repository.

What about fixes?

Big non-critical fixes are treated just like any other feature. If a fix is time critical, it is created as new branch with hotfix/ prefix as a fork from the master branch. Such hotfix is tested at minimum by 2 people from dev team before being merged to masterand develop branches.

Where do we communicate what needs testing?

The QA testing is announced in the Giveth-1 Dev channel on Discord.

How do we prioritize when tests fail / bug fixes?

Bug fixes are done ad-hoc as soon as discovered during the testing process. The bugs can be tackled by the DApp dev team or external contributors can be asked to help. Bug fixing has a priority over new development.

Who does deployments and how are they deployed?

The develop branch is autodeployed to its environment. The master branch is deployed by the dev team (@aminlatifi, @RamRamez and @MohammadPCh) once there are no new known bugs in the develop branch. The process is manual and there is a deployment procedure.

What is the release cycle frequency?

There is new release every 2 weeks as depicted in the product development cycle gant chart.

Donating with Metamask

We'll walk you through the process of making a crypto donation via Metamask here. If you do not have a Metamask wallet, well, then you should head on over to the Metamask website, and learn how to get one!

How to Make a Donation​

Once you have chosen a project and set an amount to donate, go ahead and click the DONATE button. This should bring up a pop-up window confirming the amount to donate.

Confirm Metamask transaction

If the amount is right, click on DONATE. A pop-up window from Metamask to confirm the transaction details will be shown.

Confirm Metamask transaction

Verify that the amount on the Metamask pop-up corresponds with the amount you specified on the project page. Take note that the gas fee from the Ethereum network or Gnosis Chain will be added on top of the donation amount. Make sure you have enough Ethereum or xDAI in your wallet to cover the gas fees, otherwise the transaction cannot be completed.

If it looks good, hit CONFIRM, and your donation transaction will begin. You should see a pop-up that looks like this:

Transaction in Progress

You can check your transaction in the transaction pop up on your Metamask under the 'Activity' Tab.

Once the transaction has been confirmed on the blockchain, you'll be taken to the next page confirming your successful donation. Nice work!

Giveth Entities and Roles

Giveth TRACE has officially been deprecated. After 5 years of faithful service, Giveth and its platform, services and products have fully migrated to Giveth.io. With the deprecation of the Rinkeby network and low user activity, the Giveth DAO decided to sunset its original dApp in Q3 of 2022. The code has and will forever be open-source, and you can find it in Giveth's Github repositories.

This documentation will remain available for historical reference.

Content and ideas have been modified from this excellent article “An Overview of the Giveth Donation Application” authored by Kris Decoodt in 2017. Many things have been revised and modified since 2017. Here we breakdown the DApp as it is in 2022.

This document explains how different interactions within the Giveth DApp can be made. The goal is to provide a clear outline of the entities and roles within the Giveth TRACE DApp. This document has been tailored for several audiences and use cases as follows:

  • Developers: can use this document as part of System Requirements.
  • Testers: can use this document to understand how the DApp should work in order to determine what behaviour is wrong and should be reported as a bug. This document is not a formal Test Case in SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) but can still be used for guidance.
  • The Support Team: can use this document as a refererence to help new users who experience difficulties with the DApp.
  • The End User: can use this document to gain a greater understanding of how the DApp works. However, foundational knowledge of Blockchain, Ethereum and Giveth is recommended.

Roles​

We have eight roles in Giveth TRACE. In this section we explain in-depth each role, their function, how to become one and the power each role has.

  1. Giver
  2. Community Manager
  3. Campaign Manager
  4. Campaign Reviewer
  5. Trace Manager
  6. Trace Reviewer
  7. Recipient
  8. Website User

Website User​

This refers to any person who visits our website. Without registering as a user on Rinkeby they cannot interact with any Giveth entity nor make donations on Giveth TRACE.

How to become a Website User​

  • Anyone with the address of the Giveth TRACE website can become a User.

Power of a Website User​

  • Browse through Communities, Campaigns and Traces.
  • Register a profile.
  • Edit their profile.
  • View someones else's profile.
  • Subscribe to a Community, Campaign or Trace.

*Note: Most site actions require authentication through an Ethereum web wallet; currently Giveth TRACE only supports MetaMask.*

Giver​

The term Giver describes anyone who uses our platform to give donations to a Community, Campaign or Trace. Givers can interact with all 3 entities but are not explicitly part of any unless they choose to join a Community or assume another role as well.

How to become a Giver​

  • Anyone with an Ethereum wallet can donate to a Community, Campaign, or Trace in the DApp and become a Giver.

Power of a Giver​

  • Accept or reject a delayed delegation from a Community or Campaign.

*Note: Givers can veto or "reject" a proposed Delegation within 3 days of the delegation proposal. This is referred to as a delegation "delay". After 3 days, the delayed delegation will be accepted by the DApp automatically.*

Community Manager (formerly Delegate)​

A Community Manager is the registered user owning a Community. They can delegate the funds donated to their Communities. A delegation is a process, where the donation pledged to a Community is transferred to a Campaign or Trace. Once delegated, the Giver has 3 days to reject (or approve) the delegation. After that time, the money is auto-approved and locked in the Campaign or Trace to which the money was delegated.

How to become a Community Manager​

  • A user can create a Community and become the Community Manager after being whitelisted by a DApp Admin.

Power of a Community Manager​

  • Edit the name, description, image, and link of their Community.
  • Give Community funds (via delayed delegation) to Campaigns, and Traces.

*Note: In order to initiate a delayed delegation, the Community Manager should go to the Traces or Campaign page, and click the Delegate Funds button.*

Campaign Manager​

Campaign Managers are Giveth.io users who have chosen to make their project traceable and have passed the project verification process. The role of the Campaign Manager is to create Traces through which they can fund the work of people and the cost of resources behind the project.

How to become a Campaign Manager​

  • Verify their Giveth.io project and request to become traceable, upgrading to a Campaign on TRACE and becoming the Campaign Manager of said Campaign.

Power of a Campaign Manager​

  • Edit their Campaign.
  • Send Campaign funds (via delegation) to Traces within their Campaign.
  • Reject or accept proposed Traces to their Campaign.
  • Create or edit Traces in their own Campaign.

*Note: A Trace has to belong to at least one Campaign and needs to be approved by the Campaign Manager.*

Campaign Reviewer​

Because donations to a Campaign are locked, a Campaign Reviewer role is critical to review and track the Campaign's progress. Campaign Reviewers have the responsiblity of checking the legitimacy of a Campaign and its Traces. They also have considerable power within a Campaign.

How to become a Campaign Reviewer​

  • A Campaign Manager can assign a user to become a Campaign Reviewer.

Power of a Campaign Reviewer​

  • Reject or approve Completed Traces.
  • Cancel Traces within their Campaign.
  • Cancel a Campaign.

Trace Manager (formerly Milestone Manager)​

Traces are the foundation of the Giveth system. Any registered user can propose a Trace to a Campaign. However, a Campaign Manager or Campaign Reviewer must approve the Trace proposed to their Campaign for it to become valid. Traces can represent several types of requests for funding. More info on types of Traces are detailed further in this document.

How to become a Trace Manager​

  • A user can propose a Trace to Campaign and become the Trace Manager.

Power of a Trace Manager​

  • Edit their Trace.
  • In the case of creating a Bounty or Milestone, a Trace Manager can set a Trace Reviewer.
  • Mark a Trace as complete.

*Note: A Trace can no longer be edited once it has received a delegation or donation.*

Trace Reviewer​

  • A Trace Reviewer can be assigned by a Trace Manager.

Power of a Trace Reviewer​

  • Reject or approve a completed Trace.
  • Cancel a Trace.

*Note: In the case that a Trace is cancelled, the currency returns to the source, i.e. to the Giver for a donation or to the Community/Campaign for a delegation.*

Recipient​

A Recipient is a registered user who will receive payment from their successfully completed Trace. In the majority of cases, the Recipient is also the Trace Manager as they are the one working on the Trace. However, in some cases the recipient is separate, such as for payments to a supplier or a Milestone for a Campaign.

How to become a Recipient​

  • A Recipient can be designated by a Trace Manager; it can be the Trace Manager or another user.

Power of a Recipient​

  • Mark a Trace as complete.
  • Request payout of the Trace funds.

*Note: In the case that the Trace has a Reviewer, collecting funds needs the Reviewer's approval.*

Latency​

Some actions need to be registered to the Ethereum blockchain network. Adding transactions to the blockchain does not happen immediately, so we observe a latency in some actions. This latency depends on the network conditions, for example traffic on the network.

Locality of Roles​

All roles have a limited scope and once an entity ceases to exist, so do the connected roles. Every Community contains exactly one Manager. Every Campaign has one Campaign Manager and one Campaign Reviewer. Every Trace has one Trace Manager, one Recipient and potentially one Reviewer. The Giver is not explicitly associated with any entity but may interact with all of them.

Relations between Communities, Campaigns and Traces

Currency Flow​

Giveth TRACE on a technical level is a system for managing currency. Terms referring to the movement of funds within the Giveth system are defined as follows:

  • Donation: When a Giver sends funds from their wallet to a Trace, Campaign, or Community.
  • Collecting: When the Recipient sends or "collects" funds from a Trace to their wallet.
  • Disbursing: When a Trace Manager sends funds from a Trace account to the Recipient's wallet.
  • Delegation: When a Campaign Manager or Community Manager sends money from the Campaign or Community account to Trace account on behalf of the original Giver. A Giver can reject Delegation within 72 hours, after which the Currency transfer becomes irreversible.
  • Refund: A Giver who has contributed to a Community can withdraw their funds as long as they are not yet committed to a Campaign or Trace. A Giver contributing to a Campaign can withdraw their funds as long as they are not yet committed to a Trace.

Entities​

Giveth TRACE, on a technical level, is a system for managing currency. The DApp’s entities are accounts to which people can deposit, transfer or withdraw currency. We have three entities on Giveth TRACE, Communities, Campaigns and Traces. The relationship between them are defined in the chart below. Each entitity corresponds to one or more smart contracts.

*Note: In Q1 2021 the Giveth team rebranded the entities DACs (Decentralized Altruistic Communities) to simply Communities, and Milestones to Traces.*

Relationship between The DApp's Entities
Relationship between the DApp's Entities​

Communities​

Communities, formerly known as DACs, are the most general entity in the Giveth System. The purpose of a Community is to unite Givers around a cause and provide them with the possibility to give money to a cause without having to do the research involved in finding the exact Campaign to contribute to. Any money donated to a Community can be retrieved by the Giver, however we strongly discourage Givers to do so. The funds remain in the Community until they are delegated to a Campaign or a Trace, or withdrawn by the Giver. Community Managers can support any Campaign or Trace by sending currency to the account of the recipient.

State diagram for Community -> Campaign delegation flow, showing how donations made to a DAC are delegated to a Campaign.​
Community to Trace delegation state diagram
State diagram for Community -> Trace delegation flow, showing how donations made to a Community are delegated directly to a Trace.​

Campaigns​

Campaigns are in the center of the Giveth donation system. They are effectively tools to steer money towards the smallest entities, Traces. A Campaign can be supported by more than one Community or by no Community at all. Campaign co-owners can only accept or reject proposed Traces. Campaign Reviewers can cancel the Campaign if the Campaign is bad or no longer active.

Donations made to a Campaign are locked, and unless the Campaign gets cancelled, the Giver no longer has control over the donation. The reason we lock the donations is to give the people behind the Campaign some level of certainty that they can count on getting the pledged donations and pledge them to one of their Traces.

Campaign Donation state diagram
State diagram for donations made to Campaign.​

Traces​

The main building blocks of the DApp are Traces, formerly known as Milestones. A Trace is the only way by which funds can exit the Giveth system. Traces must be created inside of a Campaign. Compared to a Community or Campaign, Traces are more complex because more roles can interact with them.

Trace Entities​

To tailor Traces to meet the specific needs of Communities and Campaigns, there are certain rules that can be applied.

  • Capped Traces: The maximum currency which can be given to to the Trace is set. This maximum is called the cap.
  • Trace with Reviewer: The funds cannot be collected or disbursed from this Trace without confirmation by an assigned Trace Reviewer.
  • Specify Currency Received: The Trace Creator is able to specify which of the whitelisted cryptocurrencies they would like to receive their funds in.

Based on these rules we can have four types of Traces with their own distinct properties: Milestones, Bounties, Expenses and Payments.

Milestones​

Important goals or events for a Campaign. Any funds collected in Milestones go to the Campaign that it is a part of.

The Lifecycle of Milestones in the DApp is as follows:

Lifecycle of Milestones

Bounties​

If a Campaign or Community needs to outsource work to be done, they can use a Bounty to compensate contributors for completing specific tasks.

The Lifecycle of Bounties is as follows:

Lifecycle of Bounties

Expenses​

If there are recurring or singular expenses that were paid by a Campaign or Community Member, they can be tracked and reimbursed by this Trace.

The Lifecycle of Expenses is as follows:

Lifecycle of Expenses

Payments​

Payments are compensation to Campaign members for the work they have done. Payments can be uncapped or capped for the funding they can receive.

The Lifecycle for Payments with NO cap is as follows:

Lifecycle of Payments without Cap

The Lifecycle for Payments with a cap is as follows:

Lifecycle of Payments with Cap

A breakdown of their functions can be summarized in the table below:

BountyNoNoYesAny Address
ExpenseYesYesNoAny Address
Payment NO CapNoYesNoAny Address
Payment with CapYesYesNoAny Address

Notes:​

  • In coding Entities are called projects.
  • When money goes from a Community to a Trace or Campaign, Giveth then connects the Community with that Campaign or Trace. This means that you will see that Campaign or Trace represented on the Community page.
  • If a Trace/Campaign/Community is canceled, the funds are returned to the source contributor automatically.
  • Currency that goes to a Community is a loose commitment: at any point up until the moment funds are locked into a Campaign/Milestone, the Giver can decide to withdraw (refund) them.
  • Currency that went to a Campaign/Trace is fully committed, because Trace Managers and Campaigns Manager take actions based on these funds.

When you leave a Trace within Giveth TRACE, you can enter an amount in ether or in fiat. Our system then automatically calculates the conversion rate based on the date of the Trace.

In our Feathers backend we keep a cache of the daily average exchange rate for each date. We use Crypto Compare and CoinGecko to fetch these rates.

When you enter a currency amount in a Trace, we fetch the cached conversion rate from Feathers and calculate the result in the UI. When you save the Trace we check that conversion again to make sure all is correct.

Currently we support handling payments in ETH, SAI, DAI, PAN, WBTC, USDC Ethereum Mainnet Tokens. Native currencies whitelisted for trading pair price comparsions are BTC, ETH, AUD, GBP, USD, MXN, CAD, CZK, THB, BRL, CHF.

The Givers PFP Collection

“The Givers” NFT’s are not just NFT’s but integrated Giveth PFPs! Giveth's first PFP collection was a community proposed initiative begun in March 2022. The intention of the PFP collection is to raise funds for the Giveth DAO and continue our mission of building the Future of Giving. The Givers was launched for public minting on March 24, 2023 at 11am CST.

About the Giveth DAO​

Since 2016, Giveth has focused on supporting public goods through a community-driven ecosystem of collective support and value creation. This has resulted in streamlined donation tools and mechanisms powered by blockchain technology, which have onboarded over 1,700 projects and has facilitated hundreds of thousands of donations.

We’re launching the Givers PFP collection as a fundraiser to allow us to continue improving our donation platform and build tools that empower non-profits and impact projects.

Supply & Minting​

There will be a total of 1,250 NFTs in the collection, and no more than 100 of them will be used for promotional purposes by the DAO. Minting can be done on Ethereum Mainnet for 100 DAI each. To ensure an even distribution, no single address can hold more than 5 Givers PFPs.

Art parameters​

Every art NFT is created out of several individual layers of artwork. In some cases some of the layered artwork may be unseen as they get covered by others above it, as for instance the art tattoos. You will however be able to see all of your unique art's traits and rarity on Rarible or in the token's metadata.

Secondary Market​

You can trade your Giver but keep in mind that for any trades on the secondary market, a 10% royalty fee will be imposed. All Givers (unless stated otherwise) are licensed under Creative Commons CC0 or "No Rights Reserved". The easiest way to trade is using the Rarible Collection Page.

Benefits​

Givers PFP owners are able to have their NFTs integrated on their Giveth.io profile when logged in! Show your flair and support for Giveth almost anywhere on the DApp. Below is a preview of how Givers show up on the Giveth.io platform.

pfp holder benefits on the dapp

When you set your Giver as your profile picture on Giveth.io it will be show up as a badge next to your name on any projects that you have created as well as when you make donations or boost projects with GIVpower. Users can also get an up close look at your Giver by navigating to your user profile.

Giveth is also partnering with Punk Domains to provide Givers NFT holders a 50% discount on the Giveth domain names. Anyone is able claim their unique “yourname.giveth” domain name, which will also be linked to your account. You can check out Giveth domain names here.

We're still working on providing more benefits to Givers PFP holders, so stay tuned for more updates!

Setting your Givers PFP​

Setting your Givers PFP as your profile picture on giveth.io is very simple. First login with your web wallet that hold your Givers PFP NFT. Then head over to My Account from the dropdown menu in the top right and click on the link next to your profile picture that says Set your Givers PFP. From there you'll be taken to a menu where you can select your Givers PFP from your wallet and set it as your profile picture. Click Save and you're done!

Intro to Giveth.io

Giveth.io, launched in March 2021, offers a simple and streamlined way for the world to donate to for-good projects via the Ethereum Blockchain.

giveth.io homepage

Giveth.io boasts a smooth onboarding process for donors and projects. Creating a project can be done in minutes, making donations can be done in seconds. Finding quality projects making social or environmental change is easy.

Our Donation Application uses a direct peer-to-peer donation framework; funds donated are sent to the project owner's Ethereum address. Giveth does not collect any fees from interactions on the platform.

Giveth.io is currently deployed on both Ethereum mainnet and Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network).

Verification​

Great projects make Giveth thrive! We have a Project Verification process to ensure that we have top quality, credible projects on the DApp. When your project becomes verified your donors become eligible for GIVbacks. Learn more about GIVbacks here

Installing Giveth.io for Local Development

This guide will document the steps to set up and run Giveth.io locally for the purposes of development. The setup process was documented using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

You'll need a couple prerequisites to get started.​

  • Redis
  • Postgres
  • Node 14+
  • yarn
  • npm
  • Your favourite Code Editor (VScode for linting presets)

Giveth IO leverages notable packages, applications and architectures including:​

  • Ethereum
  • React
  • NextJS
  • Apollo GraphQL
  • Tor.us
  • theme-ui

Install the back-end (impact-graph) from GitHub​

In order to develop locally you need to clone the back-end server. We are using https://github.com/Giveth/impact-graph for this.

via SSH on the CLI:

    git clone git@github.com:Giveth/impact-graph.git
    cd impact-graph
    npm i
    cp .env.example .env

Create a Database and User in Postgres using psql​

Follow this tutorial on PSQL to setup your username and create the database. https://medium.com/coding-blocks/creating-user-database-and-adding-access-on-postgresql-8bfcd2f4a91e)

TL;DR

sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# create database <databaseName>;
postgres=# create user <userName> with encrypted password '<passwordHere>';
postgres=# grant all privileges on database <databaseName> to <userName>;

Clone and Install the Frontend​

Head on over to https://github.com/Giveth/giveth-dapps-v2, and clone the repo.

via SSH on the CLI:

git clone git@github.com:Giveth/giveth-dapps-v2.git
cd giveth-dapps-v2
yarn install

Get the Environment Variables​

In order to run the local build for Giveth.io you'll need to ask for the environment variables. Head on over to our Contributors Discord, say Hi and get in touch with our product manager, @MoeNick or one of the developers.

Launch the Development Server and Environment​

Start up the impact-graph backend server and redis.

  • Run redis by using the command redis-server.

  • From the impact-graph repo start with npm start.

    info

    Using the Staging Database for Development​

    If you don't need to setup a local database for your development purposes you can use the staging database instead. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_APOLLO_SERVER to https://serve.giveth.io/graphql (this uses the same database you see on https://next.giveth.io).

Run the Migrations to Setup the Database​

In a separate terminal cd into the impact-graph run this command in the terminal:

npm run typeorm:cli -- migration:run

Deploy the Front-end​

To take advantage of linting presets, please use VSCODE:

  • Select File -> Open Workspace.

  • Navigate into the giveth-dapps-v2 directory.

  • Install recommended extensions & packages (Prettier and StandardJS plugins).

  • Then fire up the front-end locally.

    yarn run dev

You should be ready to go for real-time coding!

Import Torus Private Key into Metamask

While the Torus wallet is a great option for newcomers to crypto, it can be more difficult to use when interacting with decentralized applications (dApps). Giveth users have the opportunity to earn GIV by interacting with the GIVeconomy. Torus users can claim GIVbacks, stake in the GIVfarm, claim their GIVstream and claim their GIVdrop (if eligible), but MetaMask users benefit from a more streamlined user experience. In addition, at present the GIVgarden does not include Torus wallet integration.

We want to empower new-comers to crypto with the means to get fully integrated into the web3 community. MetaMask is a secure crypto wallet and a highly optimized gateway to blockchain apps. The purpose of this guide is to explain how to get funds into a MetaMask wallet, thereby enabling broader functionality and security. Users can do this by either transferring funds to a brand new MetaMask wallet or by importing private keys from an existing wallet like Torus. We recommend transferring the funds to a new wallet. Transferring funds removes the risk of someone accessing the wallet using the username and account used to set up the Torus wallet. For instructions on how to get started with a MetaMask wallet, check out this article from the Metamask team.

Transfer Your Funds to MetaMask​

Once you are logged into your Torus wallet, navigate to the transfer page using the navigation bar at the top of the page.

  1. Copy the public key from MetaMask.
  2. Paste into the ‘Transfer to’ line.
  3. Enter the amount you’d like to send.

Once you are satisfied with the parameters of the transaction, click the transfer button at the bottom of the page. If you have multiple tokens in your Torus Wallet, you will have to repeat this process for each token.

Import Torus Private Key Into MetaMask​

What is a Private Key​

Your private key is a string of numbers and letters that allows you to access and manage your funds. It should never be shared with anyone (no community moderators, no Giveth core contributors, no admins, no one! )!. Anyone who has access to your private key has access to your crypto. Importing your Torus private key into MetaMask allows you to access and control your funds from both wallets. This means that you can enjoy full functionality of Giveth and other dApps by using MetaMask, but can still access your funds using your regular Torus login if you wish.

Get your Torus Private Key​

Once you’re signed in to your Torus wallet, navigate to the Settings page using the menu at the top of the page. Once on the Settings page, click Account Details in the Privacy and Security section. This will open a pop-up with two options for getting your private key.

Download Private Key in Torus

The first option is to download a soft copy of your private key as a JSON file. When you select this option you will be prompted to create a password that will later be used to import the file into MetaMask. Create your password, then download the file. The second option is to show the private key and copy it. This method is less secure since it both shows the private key and copies it to your operating system clipboard. Once copied, your private key can be pasted into MetaMask to import the private key. If you use this option, do not save a copy of your private key. If your system is ever compromised, your private key will be as well.

Import Private Key​

Assuming you are set up and logged in with your Metamask wallet, the next step is to import your private key into MetaMask. First, click the circular icon in the top right corner of your MetaMask wallet. This will open the accounts menu. Click the Import Account option in this menu. Here you can use the Select Type option to select which option you’d like to use to import your private key.

Import Private Key into MetaMask

If you copied your private key from Torus, the Private Key option will let you paste the key into MetaMask. If you downloaded the JSON file, select JSON File, then use the Choose File button to select the private key JSON you downloaded from Torus. Enter the password you created to download the private key file from Torus, then click Import. Your new account should now appear in MetaMask and be ready to interact with the GIVeconomy dApps!

Intro to Giveth TRACE

Giveth TRACE has officially been deprecated. After 5 years of faithful service, Giveth and its platform, services and products have fully migrated to Giveth.io. With the deprecation of the Rinkeby network and low user activity, the Giveth DAO decided to sunset its original dApp in Q3 of 2022. The code has and will forever be open-source, and you can find it in Giveth's Github repositories.

This documentation will remain available for historical reference.

Giveth is re-engineering charitable giving, by creating entirely free, open-source platforms, built on the Ethereum Blockchain. Giveth TRACE cuts out bureaucracy and enables makers to create a high level of transparency and accountability for Givers. The basic donation hierarchy of Communities, Campaigns and Traces allows for users to specify the scope of their donation. There are multiple reviewer roles and security check points that allow Givers and Makers to use our DApp with confidence. You can read more about the basic components and the logic behind our DApp (Donation Application) in this post.

Giveth TRACE home page

Current Status​

The Giveth TRACE DApp is on the Ethereum mainnet, bridged to Rinkeby testnet. We are in active development on the DApp and aiming for a post-beta release in the coming months. The best way to reach out to our team is via Discord, feel free to drop in and say hello!

New Projects are currently being added onto Giveth TRACE by a case-by-case vetting process. If you have a simple project looking for funding try out Giveth.io. If you have a community, cause or project that is more complex, and perhaps requiring greater transparency and traceability, then get in touch with us on Discord.

Check out the amazing projects onboarded onto our DApp, and register as a user by completing a profile. You can support the development of our Dapp by giving to a Community or Campaign, or funding specific Traces directly and see exactly how your donation creates positive change in the world.

A Tale of Two Networks​

It's been a quest getting to mainnet efficiency, challenged by scalability issues that were too prohibitive for real use. In 2017, we found a smooth solution with a bridge between Ethereum mainnet and Rinkeby testnet.

Selecting the Rinkeby Network

In order to interface with the Giveth application you'll have to download and install MetaMask on your favourite web browser. The Ethereum address used for your MetaMask sign-in will be how we identify your personal profile on the DApp.

This ground-breaking innovation (of its time) allows Giveth and the user to perform smart contract interactions for free, spending only gas on Rinkeby testnet, while still tracking everything on a blockchain. For most tasks on Giveth TRACE you'll want to make sure you're connected to the Rinkeby test network.

When you're sending real funds to any entity on Giveth TRACE, you do it with the Ethereum mainnet. Conversely, when you claim funds that have been delegated to a completed Trace you are the recipient of, Giveth pays the gas to bridge your transaction to the mainnet and send the funds to you.

To learn more about the Giveth bridge, head over to the documentation here. There is also a wonderful Medium article from 2017, that identifies the major scalability issues of that era in crypto and how we found a solution.

Leaving Traces (formerly Creating Milestones)

Giveth TRACE has officially been deprecated. After 5 years of faithful service, Giveth and its platform, services and products have fully migrated to Giveth.io. With the deprecation of the Rinkeby network and low user activity, the Giveth DAO decided to sunset its original dApp in Q3 of 2022. The code has and will forever be open-source, and you can find it in Giveth's Github repositories.

Welcome! If you are super new to Giveth, join the #🔨contribute channel on Discord. You can introduce yourself and ask questions there! This is a living document and will change as bugs are fixed and features added to the DApp.

Leaving Traces is one of the most integral features of Giveth TRACE.​

As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency Traces, formerly known as Milestones, represent how users can record their work or progress and submit proposals requesting compensation.

1. Go to Giveth TRACE and select which campaign your Trace is for.

2. From the campaign page, click “Create New”. You have four options on the following page: Payment, Bounty, Expense, Milestone, choose which is most applicable to the form of compensation you're proposing.

Trace Options

3. Fill in the following form with the details of your Trace. Your title should be clear and descriptive. If you chose Payment or Expense add the Currency type, Amount and Date, if applicable, otherwise select "No limits".

Trace Options

4. From this point on, consider copying all of your Trace text to a place where you keep your own records. If your reviewer declines to review this Trace, or if it gets caught in the process for any reason, you will have to re-propose the Trace anew.

5. In the "Description" text field below add more details. Include proof of work or expenses. You can link to Github pages, other documents you worked on, or upload photos of receipts. Show your calculations if any.

6. Add a photo for your Trace. It can be related to your contribution, or not!

Trace Options

7. From Payment Options select how you wish to be compensated. Choose from the cryptocurrency options available, and provide an address for which you wish to be sent payment. You can also be awesome and give 3% of your amount received to Giveth to keep the platform running (optional)!

8. If at step #2 you choose a Bounty or a Milestone you have the option to set a Reviewer. Think about who will be the best for the job. The Reviewer is responsible for ensuring that all steps in the Trace have been completed and accomplished before the compensation should be paid out. If possible, choose a different person than the Campaign Manager. Having the Campaign Manager, Reviewer, and Proposer (you) be 3 different people helps ensure against mistakes being overlooked, but the most important thing is that the people approving your Trace understand the work.

9. Click “Propose”, and now monitor your Trace’s progress from the “My Milestones” (NEEDS TO BE UPDATED) page. Once your Campaign Manager approves it, its status will read “In Progress.” It’s now your turn to mark it complete, which will push it to the Reviewer with a status that reads “Needs Review.” If any of these processes are moving slowly or you notice it went backwards from “Needs Review” to “In Progress,” (this is how it will look to you if the reviewer rejects the milestone) check in with your Reviewer.

    Getting your project on TRACE

    Giveth TRACE has officially been deprecated. After 5 years of faithful service, Giveth and its platform, services and products have fully migrated to Giveth.io. With the deprecation of the Rinkeby network and low user activity, the Giveth DAO decided to sunset its original dApp in Q3 of 2022. The code has and will forever be open-source, and you can find it in Giveth's Github repositories.

    This documentation will remain available for historical reference.

    This guide will show you how to make your project traceable. We will go over the steps for first getting your project verified then upgrading it into a Campaign on Giveth TRACE.

    Verified is a top tier status for projects wishing to join the GIVbacks program and also for project creators looking to expand into a new suite of tools that provide their donors with extra ways to give. A project that is Verified can choose to become a Campaign on Giveth TRACE, enabling project creators to manage their donations transparently using Traces. Traces specify how the project is using their donations to achieve the goals of the overarching Campaigns.

    Upgrading projects to Campaigns enables project creators to specify parts of their project requiring funding as different types of Traces. Donors benefit from being able to choose to fund either specific Traces or the overarching Campaign and are able to trace the flow of their donations. A Campaign is listed on both Giveth.io and Giveth TRACE allowing for double exposure!

    The Process​

    We have a rigorous, human-handled process for screening projects asking for verification. Before getting started, here are some considerations you should make regarding your project:

    • Do you have any relevant and verifiable social media accounts?
    • How exactly will you use funds received?
    • In what ways can you prove that your project is real?
    • How is your project's organization structured?

    Once you've sufficiently pondered the answers to these questions, then the road to verification lies ahead!

    Step 1 - Click the Button!​

    Go to your project page on Giveth.io, and on the right-hand side click on Verify your project.

    Clicking Verify Project

    Step 2 - Fill out the Typeform​

    A typeform page will open up in your browser. Fill out the requested information as accurately as possible. Someone from the Giveth team will be reviewing and verifying this information!

    Verification Typeform

    Step 3 - Wait for Review​

    After you've submitted your application, a member of the Giveth Team will review your typeform submission. Hang tight while we verify the information you provided and reach a decision on approving your request.

    Step 4 - Check Your Inbox​

    You'll receive an email letting you know if your request for verification has been approved or rejected. If you've been approved, follow the directions in the email to continue! If you've been rejected, follow any steps outlined in the email to improve your project and re-apply for verification.

    Verification Approval Email

    Step 5 - Complete the Migration Wizard​

    Once your project is verified, you can choose to add it to Giveth TRACE by following the instructions in your email, and entering the project migration wizard. This will handle the process of upgrading your Project to a Campaign. Sign-in with your Web3 wallet and connect to Rinkeby Network.

    Confirm the information requested on each section of the Wizard, then sign the transaction with your wallet to create your Campaign!

    Verification Wizard Tool

    Step 6 - Magic!​

    Once you make it to the "Congratulations" page, you can click GO TO YOUR PROJECT to visit your new space! Get started by exploring Giveth TRACE's UI, and create some Traces to encourage more donations to your Campaign. To learn more about how Giveth TRACE works, read the DApp documentation.

    Adding Updates to Your Project

    Are you the proud owner of a verified project on Giveth? If so, it's important to keep your donors in the loop and maintain your active status by posting updates every 3 months.

    If your project isn’t verified, posting updates is optional. However, it is always helpful. Providing updates that show the impact of donations helps to build trust with potential donors and previous donors are more likely to continue donating. You can show impact in numerous ways such as posting measurable results and statistics and sharing case studies, stories, and videos.

    Don't worry, it's easy! Simply sign in to your account and click on the Updates section of your project page.

    Add Project Update

    From there, select a title that accurately reflects the content of your update.

    Edit Project Update

    But don't stop there! As mentioned above, adding relevant content such as photos, videos, and receipts will show your donors exactly where their funds are going and build a relationship of trust.

    Project Verification Process and Guidelines

    Giveth is making use of project verification to review a project’s legitimacy and to reward donors to those projects via the GIVbacks program. Project owners can apply directly from their project page after signing in by clicking VERIFY YOUR PROJECT.

    Verify My Project

    This document serves as a guide to understanding the Project Verification process, what information is needed to apply, as well as what qualifies/disqualifies a project for participation in the GIVbacks program.

    Benefits of Becoming a Verified Project​

    • Create greater legitimacy for your Project.
    • Build deeper trust and transparency with Donors.
    • Make your Project stand out.
    • Get listed as a ‘Verified Project’ on our platform and searchable by that category.
    • Become eligible for our GIVbacks program, which rewards Givers for philanthropic donations. Once your project is verified, the supporters who donate to your project will be rewarded with GIV tokens which they can use to participate in the GIVeconomy. Participation in the GIVbacks program will greatly increase the likelihood of your project receiving donations. Note that verified Project addresses will not receive GIV for donations made to their own project or other verified projects.

    Qualifying Measures for Project Verification​

    Are you interested in getting your project verified on Giveth? The verification process will require some additional information about a project and the intended impact of the organization.

    These are the top criteria we look for when verifying any project:

    • Action and Impact: We want to see that your project has a track record of making a difference in the world. An idea cannot be verified, but what we CAN verify is action and impact!

    • Reputation: We need to know that your project has a following and support from the community. This includes having a strong social media presence, non-profit status, or someone who can vouch for your project. You should be able to show us that your project has some skin in the game.

    • Public Good: We're all about creating positive change in the world. If your project is focused on personal gain, it is not eligible for the GIVbacks program. We want to see that your project is oriented towards creating social benefit and improving some corner of the world somehow.

    So, if you're ready to make a difference and meet these criteria, let's get started!

    Projects must submit their application forms at least one week before the start of a round in order to qualify for that round. Once approved, its status is updated on Giveth, and it is given a Verified badge on the Homepage and on the Projects Page.

    Verified badges will automatically expire after 3 months of project inactivity. Be sure to share your progress with the world by adding regular updates!

    GIVbacks Rounds Schedule

    Here is the information you will need to provide in the application:

    1. Your full name
    2. Your email address
    3. If your project is part of a registered non-profit organization, you will need to upload documentation to prove your registered status. Having obtained non-profit status is not a requirement, but it is helpful for the verification process.
    4. If your project is not a registered non-profit, the team will need to know how your organization is structured.
    5. Links and/or usernames to the social media accounts that are owned by both you and the organization. eg. Twitter, Github, Discord, Facebook, etc.
    6. The name of your project
    7. Information about the history of your project, e.g., when it was founded, which milestones your organization/project has achieved since conception, etc. Please provide links to photos, videos, testimonials or other evidence of your project's impact.
    8. The funds raised are expected to be used for public benefit and not for personal gain - Giveth will need to know how you will use the funds that your project raises. We are looking for detailed funding goals as well as an overall roadmap/action plan of the project.
    9. A list of all wallet addresses used for managing funds within your project.
    10. In order to ensure that you are actually a representative of the project you're applying for, we ask that you post/share a link to your Giveth project from the organization's Twitter or social media account. You will need to provide a link to the Twitter or social media post.
    11. Confirm “Yes”: We pledge that funds raised will be used for public benefit, not for personal gain.
    12. Confirm “Yes”: We understand Giveth will be analyzing all donations looking for fraud or abuse. If Giveth has any reason to suspect abuse, we understand our donors may not receive any GIVbacks and that Giveth may share any evidence of fraud publicly.
    13. Confirm “Yes”: We will only accept new, external donations through Giveth, and we understand that if we are found to be recirculating our own funds through Giveth, this will be considered abuse of the system.
    14. Confirm “Yes”: We understand our donation data will be reviewed, and if it seems like in any way we are abusing the system, our donors will not receive GIVbacks, and we will lose our verified status.
    15. Our goal is to ensure there is no fraudulent use of GIVbacks. We will need to know what reputation is at stake for you and/or your project if you were to be found participating in malicious activity. *Please provide links to proof of reputation if available.

    Disqualifying Factors for the GIVbacks Program​

    Once a GIVbacks round ends, there is a period of time allocated for our team to review flagged projects and donations for disqualifying factors before GIV is distributed to donors. A project could have their Verified status revoked if any of these factors are found. Donors to projects who are found with any of the following activity may also be denied GIVbacks for that round. Disqualification factors are as follows:

    1. Giving/offering goods or services to donors in exchange for their donation. A project owner cannot offer goods such as a sponsorship for a conference, Girl Scout cookie purchases or tickets for a dinner, even if the proceeds go to charity. Project owners cannot provide services like acting as a crypto exchange for their donors. They can explain how to use an exchange, but they cannot convert the money for their donors.
    2. Circulating donations raised by other means. Only “first touch” donations count for GIVbacks. If a project receives funding from a donor and is found to be circulating these donations within the Giveth platform to receive GIVbacks, they will be disqualified. For example, a project should not be sending fiat donations received elsewhere back to their donors and asking them to donate on Giveth with crypto.
    3. The funds are not being used for what is expressed in the project page or submitted verification application. Verified projects are responsible for keeping their projects up-to-date with information on how the funds are being used. If the project states explicitly that they are, for example, using the funds to develop education programs but are found to be using the funds to employ developers, they may be disqualified from the GIVbacks program.
    4. Unscrupulous or fraudulent activity. This can be the use of violence, breaking laws, or other behaviour that does not uphold the values of the Giveth community. Projects found to be violating our Terms and Conditions will not only lose their verification status, but they also will be canceled.

    The Giveth Project Verification team is responsible for monitoring GIVbacks activity and the Project Verification system and will ultimately use their discretion to determine whether a project’s actions are unscrupulous and/or disqualifying.

    Graduated Sanctions for flagged projects​

    The activity and donation history of Verified Projects will be periodically reviewed. Verified projects that are flagged for any of the disqualifying factors above will be analyzed and discerned according to the graduated sanctions outlined here:

    • A project that has been flagged and deemed to be disqualified for the first time will be notified and their donors will not receive GIVbacks for that round and the next. They will not, however, lose their verified status immediately and will have the opportunity to make any changes necessary to keep it.
    • A project that has been flagged and deemed to be disqualified for the second time will be notified that their project has been flagged and that the donors for that round and all future rounds will not be receiving GIVbacks. Once a project has received a second flag, it will lose its Verified badge.

    Regen Farm Smart Contract Guide

    GIVeconomy is a collection of audited smart contracts which work together to provide capabilities, including: token streaming, airdropping, and various types of farming. Contracts and scripts can be found at the Giveth giv-token-contracts repository.

    Contracts​

    Streaming​

    The streaming allows any rewards (e.g. airdrop, liquidity mining reward, ...) to be released gradually across a given time span instead of the whole sum moving immediately to the end user's wallet. To achieve that, every reward payment to users will be an allocate on stream instead of a traditional transfer/safeTransfer.

    Each instance of a Stream is deployed with these configuration parameters:

    • Total Tokens: Total amount of tokens that will be distributed over the stream period
    • Start Time: The time stamp that the stream begins
    • Duration: Total duration of the stream. At the end of stream 100% of tokens are released and can be claimed by recipients.
    • Cliff Period: The length of an initial period after the start of the stream. During this period, only the intitial percentage of the stream can be claimed and not more.
    • Initial Percentage: The percentage of immediately claimable rewards during the Cliff Period

    The TokenDistro is the smart contract which has implemented the streaming feature. Any eligible smart contract or eligible user can call allocate method on the TokenDistro to add to the recipient's balance of their stream. Eligible contracts or users who can call allocate should have the DISTRIBUTOR role for the TokenDistro smart contract. They are called Distributors. Each Distributor has a balance that they can distribute. Therefore, on each allocation the allocated amount sent is decreased from the distributor's balance and is added to recipient's balance.

    A percentage of the allocated amount is claimable immediately, and the remaining percent goes into increasing recipient's stream flowrate. The flowrate is an expression of how many tokens become claimable from their stream over a weekly period. Over time, a greater percentage of the recipient's balance will be claimable immediately following the continued expansion of the stream.

    Air Drop​

    The initial token distribution can be done by the MerkleDistro smart contract. It utilizes Merkle Tree theory and each eligible recipient should provide its own unique proof data to claim their air drop. The air drop value actually will be allocated by calling allocate on TokenDistro and will be added to user's stream balance.

    Each instance of MerkleDistro is deployed with these configuration parameters:

    • Merkle Tree Root: The key of the merkle tree root (read blow).
    • Token Distro Address: The address of the deployed TokenDistro instance.

    In order to deploy the MerkleDistro smart contract, the deployer must generate a merkle tree. The value of root will be used on the smart contract at deployment time, and the whole tree data is needed to obtain each user unique path to root. In giv-token-contracts repo, there is a script to generate merkle tree data.

    ts-node scripts/generate-merkle-root.ts --input <airdrop json file path> --output <output file path>

    A JSON format of the airdrop data is not easy to generate for everyone, an airdrop json file can be generated by a separate script from a CSV file, which is a more convenient format.

    ts-node scripts/csv2json.ts <airdrop csv list path> <airdrop json file path>

    Farming​

    Giveth uses the UnipoolTokenDistro, a derivative of the Unipool smart contract, for farming purposes. The difference is that UnipoolTokenDistro pays stakers' rewards by calling allocate method on the TokenDistro(stream) instead of transferring real tokens to the recipient's address.

    Generally, the Unipool contract rewards stakers based on the liquidity they have staked. The liquidity token is named uni deposited by stakers, and can be any token such as native token (e.g. GIV, FOX, ...) or a LP token obtained by staking in a pool (e.g. UniswapV2, SushiSwap, HoneySwap, ...).

    The Unipool reward amount is set by calling the notifyRewardAmount(uint256 reward) method by the rewardDistribution. rewardDistribution can be set by the owner role and in the deployment script, deployer set its own address as rewardDistribution by default. Each time this method is called, the Unipool will set to disperse rewards in the duration length period to stakers. Therefore, the reward distributor need to regularly call notifyRewardAmount to keep a positive reward rate, and adjust the reward rate as it can be different on each round. Each instance of the UnipoolTokenDistro is deployed with these configuration parameters:

    • TokenDistro Address: The address of deployed TokenDistro instance.
    • Uni Token Address: The liquidity token address
    • Duration: Each rewarding program round length

    Deployment​

    Deployment of a stream with farms and an airdrop is complicated and would be error prone to be done manually. Therefore, giv-token-contracts has scripts to make it easier. Most of these scripts are tailored for GIVeconomy use cases.

    However, a script is ready for DAOs to deploy their own stream (tokenDistro) and farming programs (Unipools). The script can be found in the path deployments/regenFarms/1_regenFarm.ts. The script reads the deployment configuration from deployments/regenFarms/config.ts file. The configuration format in config.ts is as below:

    const config: IRegenConfig = {
        alreadyDeployedTokenDistroAddress: "",
        newTokenDistroParams: {
            startTime: <start time timestamp>
            cliffPeriod: <cliff time duration seconds>
            duration: <duration seconds>
            initialPercentage: <percentage number, like 20_00>, // two decimals of precision, 20_00 means 20%
            tokenAddress: <Reward token address>
            totalTokens: <Total number of tokens to distribute limit>, // In ether format
            cancelable: <boolean>, // whether admins can cancel an allocation
        },
        unipools: {
            <Key>: {
                uniTokenAddress: <unit token address>,
                lmDuration: <unipool reward round duration seconds>
                rewardAmount: <Unipool balance on token distro>, // Number of tokens it can allocate
            },
            ...
        },
    };

    To deploy via script these environmental variables should be set:

    • INFURA_PROJECT_ID: When the network is not xDai (Gnosis-Chain)
    • PRIVATE_KEY: The private key of deployer account, used when network is not xDAI (Gnosis-Chain)
    • PRIVATE_KEY_XDAI: The private key of deployer account, used when network is xDAI (Gnosis-Chain)

    The script can be run by this command

    GIVeconomy Testing Guidelines

    This is a guide for thorough user testing scenarios for the GIVeconomy DApp. Testing should be done on the staging server which can be found at https://staging.giveth.io/.

    Requirements​

    • Please use a modern browser. If you encounter a bug, please try the same thing with another browser. Please make an issue in any case, but tell us if the issue might be browser specific
    • Use issues in GitHub for reports and feedback.

    Use Cases​

    The following actions are defined as core functionality. If one of these steps is buggy, that represents a critical error.

    General​

    • Buttons on "Overview" page are responsive
    • Tabs GIVgarden, GIVfarm, etc.. are responsive
    • Navbar Header buttons are responsive
    • Can successfully sign in on Navbar with Web Wallet (currently optimized for MetaMask)

    GIVgarden​

    The GIVgarden staging deployment uses both Kovan Network and Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network). The token used for this deployment is DRGIV3.

    info

    DRGIV3 can be wrapped in the DRGIV3 Garden to receive gDRGIV3. This is the same action as staking your DRGIV3 in the GIVgarden Staking in the GIVfarm on Gnosis Chain.

    • Buttons linking to GIVgarden are working
    • LEARN MORE links are working
    • Wrap DRGIV3 on the GIVgarden - Check that your Token amount updates on the GIVgarden Staking in the GIVfarm on Gnosis Chain.
    • Unwrap DRGIV3 on the GIVgarden - Check that your Token amount updates on the GIVgarden Staking in the GIVfarm on Gnosis Chain.

    GIVfarm​

    The GIVfarm staging deployment uses both Gnosis Chain and Kovan (Mainnet) Network. The token used for this deployment is DRGIV3:

    • 0x83a8eea6427985C523a0c4d9d3E62C051B6580d3 on Gnosis Chain
    • 0x29434a25abd94ae882aa883eea81585aaa5b078d on Kovan

    Test tokens used for providing liquidity on Gnosis Chain are as follow:

    • Gnosis Chain TestHNY: 0x69F79C9eA174d4659B18c7993c7EFbBbB58cF068
    • Gnosis Chain TestWETH:0x736a98655049433f79dCcF5e54b887E8890b63D1

    On Kovan, regular Kovan ETH is used for providing liquidity and paying gas.

    GIVbacks​

    To learn how to create a test GIVback distribution, contact a Developer or mitch (divine_comedian#5493) on Discord to help you.

    You'll have to make a legitimate donation to a verified project on Giveth.io in order to test GIVbacks with your own Ethereum Address.

    Once you have executed a test distribution you can verify a few pieces of the GIVbacks page:

    info

    GIVbacks are only available on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network).

    • Verify your GIVbacks Reward amount, checking that the calculations align with the donations you made to a verified project during your defined GIVbacks period.
    • Your GIVbacks claimable amount should be a set amount (not increasing like GIVfarm rewards).
    • Your GIVbacks streaming amount should be in the GIVstream history table at the time of GIVbacks distribution.
    • Harvest GIVbacks is successful.
    • DONATE and VERIFY buttons work.

    GIVstream​

    The GIVstream is available on both Gnosis Chain and Kovan. Make sure you have pending farming rewards on both networks to fully test the GIVstream.

    -Gnosis Chain/Ethereum Network toggle works

    • Buttons for PROJECTS, PROPOSALS, OPPORTUNITIES and LEARN MORE work.
    • Can Harvest GIVstream rewards in the top right modal on both Gnosis Chain and Kovan.

    Using the Torus Wallet

    The Torus wallet is a great option for newcomers to crypto. Using web3 technology it allows you to create an Ethereum wallet that's linked to your identity via your chosen social media platform. With the Torus wallet, you can send and receive cryptocurrencies and buy crypto with fiat currency using the Torus "wallet top-up" option.

    Sign-In​

    Using the Giveth.io Application, it's very easy to get started. On the homepage click sign-in, and you will be given a choice of which platform you want to use to confirm your identity (e.g., Gmail, Twitter, Discord, Facebook, etc.). After choosing your platform, approve the "Permission" pop-up, and that's it! Torus automatically generates an Ethereum wallet address for you that you can view on the drop down menu in the top right of the Giveth.io homepage.

    Finding your Torus Wallet

    You can access your Torus wallet direcly from the Torus website by signing in using the same social media account that you used on Giveth.io. From the Torus page, you'll see lots of important information, including your wallet balance, your Ethereum address and other useful settings.

    If you aren't sure what an Ethereum wallet or Ethereum address is, this is a good time to take 10 minutes and learn about some basic fundamentals relating to Ethereum and cryptocurrency in general. We recommend reading some of the great ethereum.org documentation, particularily on wallets and what Ethereum is.

    Managing Your Wallet​

    From the Torus page you can check your wallet balance across a wide range of different different networks. You can also see your public address, and copy it to your clipboard in the top right area of the page.

    Torus Account Homepage

    Presently, Giveth projects can receive donations either on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network) or Mainnet. By default, Torus will show you your Mainnet wallet balance. If you received donations on Gnosis Chain, you can check your balance by changing the network on the network drop down menu to Gnosis Chain.

    Finding your Tokens​

    If you received a donation to your project but it doesn't show up in your Torus wallet, you likely have to specify which token Torus should look for. This is done by adding the token address. Check your project's donations page on Giveth.io to see in which token(s) you've received donations.

    Checking your Project Donations

    You can look up the token on several different crypto analytics sites. CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap are reputable sites. Search for your token by its name or ticker symbol, then copy the "Contract Address" from the token's information page. Here is an example for UNI:

    CoinGecko Contract Address

    Paste the string of characters into the Add Token pop-up window from your Torus account. Clicking Next should auto-fill the rest of the information. Your token should now show up, and you can view and manage it from you wallet.

    Adding Tokens in Torus

    More Functions​

    If you want to buy crypto using fiat currency, you can do so using the "Top Up" option. We have written a small guide to help you out with the fiat on-ramping process.

    To send crypto you own to another wallet use Transfer. You will need Ethereum (ETH) in your wallet to be able to "pay the gas" necessary for your transaction. More on gas here.

    Interacting with the GIVeconomy​

    To interact with the GIVeconomy and other dApps using the Torus wallet, you will have to connect your wallet. To connect, click the Connect Wallet icon in the upper right corner of the site, then select Torus and verify. The Torus wallet allows users to sign in with accounts from many different web services, so be sure to sign in with the same account you used to set up the wallet.

    Signing in with Torus on the GIVeconomy

    If you are using the Brave browser, you will need to turn off Brave’s Shield feature. To do this, click the Brave logo to the right of the search bar, then toggle the Shield to off.

    Turning shields off with Brave

    Other Wallets​

    As mentioned, the Torus wallet is great for beginners. Using familiar social media platforms for managing your identity is a great way to get started. However, if you decide to get serious about crypto, there is a vast array of other wallets out there. Some wallets are easier to integrate with other chains, offer more privacy or allow for more advanced interactions. Some wallets exist as web3 extensions like Torus, others are a physical device, like a hardware wallet that you need to connect to your computer to access and manage your crypto. If you decide to go wallet shopping, you can find a list of the most popular ones here.

    Donating with Fiat via the Torus on-ramp

    This guide will take you through the steps of donating your fiat currency using Torus. To do so, you'll use a third party payment provider to send your fiat to Torus, which will 'top-up' your Torus wallet with your chosen cryptocurrency. That cryptocurrency that was converted from fiat will then be donated to the project you've selected. There are fees associated with this conversion from Torus as well as the third party provider that you choose. We'll walk you through the steps, but depending on your native currency, the payment provider you use and the crypto you're converting to, things might look a bit different.

    Once you’re logged in with your Torus wallet, click “Donate” on the project you’ve selected.

    Donating to the Project

    A transaction pop-up window will then say, 'Insufficient Funds'. OK, let's fix that.

    Top up Torus Wallet

    Open up your wallet in the Torus app. If you’re asked to log in, make sure to use the same social media account that you used to log in on Giveth.io. From your Torus wallet, click on the Top up tab in the top menu.

    Top up Torus Wallet

    From there you'll get a list of third party payment providers; look through the fees and currencies they support, and choose the best match for you.

    Select Payment Provider

    On the following screen, enter the amount of fiat you would like to donate. Note that the estimate of fees will be reflected here and will be dependent upon the payment provider you selected.

    Enter fiat amount to donate

    Next you'll be redirected to the website of your selected payment provider. Follow the prompts, which will be different depending on which provider you choose.

    An example from the Ramp Network:

    Ramp Network Example

    Once you've completed that, you'll be taken back to the Torus top-up window. You should see your funds there.

    Now that you have the funds in your wallet, you can go back to your selected project and proceed to donate!

    You can follow up to watch the transaction being confirmed on the block explorer by clicking View transaction details. From this point your donation should be done! Thank you and well done!

    If you are having technical problems with the Giveth DApp, you may find a solution on this page.

    Brave Browser​

    If you try to sign into the Giveth DApp with Brave browser, Torus (the wallet provider) notifies you that it needs cookies to operate. (Torus needs these permissions for their OAuth services, so our users can be provided easily with their own Ethereum wallet that is tied i.e. their Google account.)

    To quickly solve this problem you can:

    • click on the site settings (Brave icon)
    • change the cookie setting just for Giveth.io to "all cookies allowed"
    Enable Cookies in Brave

    Read more about handling cookies in Brave.

    Giveth.io shows a blank screen! Help!​

    Sometimes updates get pushed to the Giveth.io website, and your cached files and cookies don't always get along well with the new updates on the site, so you'll need to clear your cache, delete your cookies, then refresh the browser.

    To clear your cache and cookies on Brave, navigate to: Settings -> Additional Settings -> Privacy and Securiy -> Clear Browsing Data Once you're arrived there, check off Cookies and Cached images and files, and make sure at the top of the pop-up window you check off the appropriate Time Range. You can select All Time just to be sure you got 'em all.

    Clearing your cookies will log you out of most sites. If you don't want to go through the hassle of logging back in to all the websites you frequent, then head to: Privacy and Security -> Cookies and othersite data -> See all site cookies and other data Then from this menu look up the Giveth domain like so:

    Deleting Cookies in Brave

    Then click the trash icon to delete the cookie for Giveth. If that's finished, pull up a fresh Brave browser window, head back to Giveth, and get back to giving!

    GIVbacks

    GIVbacks is a revolutionary concept that rewards donors to verified projects with GIV. When you give to verified projects during a GIVbacks round, you become eligible to receive GIV rewards after the round ends and the GIV is ready to claim. You can see live information --- including round schedule & your claimable GIV --- on the GIVbacks page.

    GIVbacks Rounds​

    GIVbacks rounds last two weeks. For each round, there is 1 million GIV available to be rewarded.

    Givers who donate to verified projects within an active round are eligible to receive GIVbacks. Note that addresses of verified projects will not receive GIV for donations made to their own project or other verified projects.

    Project Verification​

    'Verified' is a seal of approval for legitimate projects on Giveth. Many Verified projects came pre-vetted from The Giving Block API. The Giving Block is an organization that supports and onboards registered 501c3s from the United States into crypto, and with our integration, you can donate to their projects from the Giveth UI.

    For non-Giving Block projects, the verification process requires projects to provide additional information about their project and the intended impact of the organization. Our amazing Project Verification Team then reviews these applications, investigates the information provided and informs the project owners about the verdict.

    To learn more about the project verification process check out our documentation.

    Tokens Eligible for GIVbacks​

    A donor can donate any ERC-20 token to projects on Giveth.io on Gnosis Chain, Polygon, Celo, Optimism or Ethereum Mainnet. However, only donations to verified projects in certain tokens are eligible for GIVbacks. This restriction ensures that we are able to get accurate price data for donations (a requirement for fair distribution of GIVbacks), and prevents bad actors from gaming the GIVbacks program. To see the full list of eligible tokens, visit this forum post.

    Getting GIVbacks​

    During each round, all donations to verified projects on the DApp are tracked, and this data is used to calculate the amount of GIVbacks received by each Giver for that period.

    GIVbacks are distributed in two different blockchains, Gnosis and Optimism. All donations made in eligible tokens on Mainnet, Gnosis, Polygon or Celo will be rewarded with GIV on Gnosis chain; and the ones made in eligible tokens on Optimism will be rewarded with GIV on Optimism.

    Givers are able to claim their GIV after the round ends and a fraud review has been conducted. Donors will receive an email when the rewards are ready to be claimed on the GIVbacks page. A portion of the GIV will be liquid immediately, and the rest will increase the flowrate of their GIVstream. To learn more about the GIVstream and how it works, check out our documentation. For the purposes of this documentation, we will refer to the sum of the liquid amount and the amount allocated to the GIVstream from GIVbacks as cumulative GIVbacks.

    Rank & Calculation​

    Note that, even with the GIVbacks program, a donation on Giveth is still a donation. The maximum value of the donor's cumulative GIVbacks could be anywhere from 50% up to 80% of the USD value of their donation, at the time of donation. The exact amount of GIVbacks they receive will depend on the project's current GIVpower rank. Each verified project that has been boosted with GIVpower will have a rank on the platform. The project that has been boosted with the most GIVpower for the previous bi-weekly round will offer the highest GIVbacks factor percentage (80%), while the lowest ranked project and unranked/unboosted projects for the previous round will receive the lowest GIVbacks factor percentage (50%). Each project from the bottom to the top ranked will have an incrementally higher GIVbacks factor percentage, you can learn more in the GIVpower documentation.

    info

    GIVbacks sent to donors of verified projects before December 27, 2022 (when project ranking took effect) were calculated using a maximum GIVbacks factor of 75%.

    If, at the end of a round, the estimated amount of GIVbacks to distribute exceeds the limit of 1 million GIV per round then donors will receive proportionally less matching relative to the rank of the project they donated to, for each donation. This is calculated as follows:

    n=NgGn = N \frac{g}{G}

    where:

    • n = Total cumulative amount of GIV tokens earned by the donor for a particular donation
    • N = Total number of GIV tokens allocated for distribution in the round (1 million GIV)
    • g = The estimated full amount of GIVbacks the donor could receive.
    • G = Total estimated amount of GIVbacks for all donors during the given round.

    GIV tokens earned through the GIVbacks program can be used throughout the GIVeconomy: for governance within the GIVgarden, locking GIV & boosting projects with GIVpower or for donating to projects on Giveth.

    note

    Referral Program

    Since the launch of the Giveth Referral Program, when making a donation on Giveth using a referral link, part of the GIVbacks generated from that donation will be shared with the person who referred you. As a result, the GIVbacks amount you receive will be lower than if you had made the donation directly without a referral link. Please check our referral program documentation for more information about how GIVbacks are calculated for referrals.

    Harvesting GIVbacks​

    GIVbacks are available to be harvested after the round ends, data has been reviewed and GIV is distributed to eligible donor addresses. Donors will receive an email when GIVbacks rewards are ready to claim - this GIV can be harvested here. Please note that when you harvest GIV rewards from any part of the GIVeconomy, our token distro contract sends you all liquid GIV allocated to your address on that network. For example, when you harvest GIV rewards earned from staking LP tokens in the GIVfarm on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network), you also harvest rewards allocated to you from GIVbacks (if any) and the liquid amount from your GIVstream. This is broken down in the harvest popup that you encounter upon claim:

    Disqualifying Factors for the GIVbacks Program​

    Once a GIVbacks round ends, there is a period of time granted to our team to review flagged projects and donations for the following disqualifying factors before GIV is distributed to donors. A project could have their ‘Verified’ status revoked if any of these factors are found. Donors to projects who are found with any of the following activity may also be denied GIVbacks for that round.

    1. Giving/offering goods or services to donors in exchange for their donation. A project owner cannot offer goods such as a sponsorship for a conference, Girl Scout cookie purchases or tickets for a dinner, even if the proceeds go to charity. Project owners cannot provide services like acting as a crypto exchange for their donors. They can explain how to use an exchange, but they cannot convert the money for their donors.
    2. Circulating donations raised by other means. Only “first touch” donations count for GIVbacks. If a project receives funding from a donor and is found to be circulating these donations within the Giveth platform to receive GIVbacks, they will be disqualified. For example, a project should not be sending fiat donations received elsewhere back to their donors and asking them to donate on Giveth with crypto.
    3. The funds are not being used for what is expressed in the project page or submitted verification application. Verified projects are responsible for keeping their projects up-to-date with information on how the funds are being used. If the project states explicitly that they are, for example, using the funds to develop education programs but are found to be using the funds to employ developers, they may be disqualified from the GIVbacks program.
    4. Unscrupulous or fraudulent activity. This can be the use of violence, breaking laws, or other behaviour that does not uphold the values of the Giveth community. Projects found to be violating our Terms and Conditions will not only lose their verification status, but also will be canceled.

    The Giveth Project Verification team is responsible for monitoring GIVbacks activity and the Project Verification system, and will ultimately use their discretion to determine whether a project’s actions are unscrupulous and/or disqualifying.

    Sanctions for flagged donations​

    Verified projects and donations that are flagged for any of the disqualifying factors above will be analyzed and discerned according to the sanctions outlined here:

    • A donor whose GIVbacks were revoked because they were found to be recirculating funds or donated to a project that was disqualified for that round will receive an email with a link to the forum post discussing eligible donations for that round. Donations cannot be refunded and GIVbacks cannot be “unrevoked” if the project was disqualified from the round.

    Donations are donations and they go directly to the project. The GIVbacks program was created to additionally empower our donors with GIV & therefore governance rights, but you should not make a donation purely out of the expectation of receiving GIV. We appreciate your understanding.

    The GIVbacks program is our way of giving back to those who give. It’s our exit to the community - empowering real donors with governance power over the future of Giveth and hence, the Future of Giving. To get GIVbacks, start donating to verified projects today!

    GIVbacks

    GIVbacks is a revolutionary concept that rewards donors to verified projects with GIV. When you give to verified projects during a GIVbacks round, you become eligible to receive GIV rewards after the round ends and the GIV is ready to claim. You can see live information --- including round schedule & your claimable GIV --- on the GIVbacks page.

    GIVbacks Rounds​

    GIVbacks rounds last two weeks. For each round, there is 1 million GIV available to be rewarded.

    Givers who donate to verified projects within an active round are eligible to receive GIVbacks. Note that addresses of verified projects will not receive GIV for donations made to their own project or other verified projects.

    Project Verification​

    'Verified' is a seal of approval for legitimate projects on Giveth. Many Verified projects came pre-vetted from The Giving Block API. The Giving Block is an organization that supports and onboards registered 501c3s from the United States into crypto, and with our integration, you can donate to their projects from the Giveth UI.

    For non-Giving Block projects, the verification process requires projects to provide additional information about their project and the intended impact of the organization. Our amazing Project Verification Team then reviews these applications, investigates the information provided and informs the project owners about the verdict.

    To learn more about the project verification process check out our documentation.

    Tokens Eligible for GIVbacks​

    A donor can donate any ERC-20 token to projects on Giveth.io on Gnosis Chain, Polygon, Celo, Optimism, Ethereum Mainnet or Classic. However, only donations to verified projects in certain tokens are eligible for GIVbacks. This restriction ensures that we are able to get accurate price data for donations (a requirement for fair distribution of GIVbacks), and prevents bad actors from gaming the GIVbacks program. To see the full list of eligible tokens, visit this forum post.

    Getting GIVbacks​

    During each round, all donations to verified projects on the DApp are tracked, and this data is used to calculate the amount of GIVbacks received by each Giver for that period.

    GIVbacks are distributed in two different blockchains, Gnosis and Optimism. All donations made in eligible tokens on Mainnet, Gnosis, Polygon or Celo will be rewarded with GIV on Gnosis chain; and the ones made in eligible tokens on Optimism will be rewarded with GIV on Optimism.

    Givers are able to claim their GIV after the round ends and a fraud review has been conducted. Donors will receive an email when the rewards are ready to be claimed on the GIVbacks page. A portion of the GIV will be liquid immediately, and the rest will increase the flowrate of their GIVstream. To learn more about the GIVstream and how it works, check out our documentation. For the purposes of this documentation, we will refer to the sum of the liquid amount and the amount allocated to the GIVstream from GIVbacks as cumulative GIVbacks.

    Rank & Calculation​

    Note that, even with the GIVbacks program, a donation on Giveth is still a donation. The maximum value of the donor's cumulative GIVbacks could be anywhere from 50% up to 80% of the USD value of their donation, at the time of donation. The exact amount of GIVbacks they receive will depend on the project's current GIVpower rank. Each verified project that has been boosted with GIVpower will have a rank on the platform. The project that has been boosted with the most GIVpower for the previous bi-weekly round will offer the highest GIVbacks factor percentage (80%), while the lowest ranked project and unranked/unboosted projects for the previous round will receive the lowest GIVbacks factor percentage (50%). Each project from the bottom to the top ranked will have an incrementally higher GIVbacks factor percentage, you can learn more in the GIVpower documentation.

    info

    GIVbacks sent to donors of verified projects before December 27, 2022 (when project ranking took effect) were calculated using a maximum GIVbacks factor of 75%.

    If, at the end of a round, the estimated amount of GIVbacks to distribute exceeds the limit of 1 million GIV per round then donors will receive proportionally less matching relative to the rank of the project they donated to, for each donation. This is calculated as follows:

    n=NgGn = N \frac{g}{G}

    where:

    • n = Total cumulative amount of GIV tokens earned by the donor for a particular donation
    • N = Total number of GIV tokens allocated for distribution in the round (1 million GIV)
    • g = The estimated full amount of GIVbacks the donor could receive.
    • G = Total estimated amount of GIVbacks for all donors during the given round.

    GIV tokens earned through the GIVbacks program can be used throughout the GIVeconomy: for governance within the GIVgarden, locking GIV & boosting projects with GIVpower or for donating to projects on Giveth.

    note

    Referral Program

    Since the launch of the Giveth Referral Program, when making a donation on Giveth using a referral link, part of the GIVbacks generated from that donation will be shared with the person who referred you. As a result, the GIVbacks amount you receive will be lower than if you had made the donation directly without a referral link. Please check our referral program documentation for more information about how GIVbacks are calculated for referrals.

    GIVdrop

    The GIVdrop is designed to kickstart the GIVeconomy by distributing GIV tokens to the Giveth trusted seed - crypto philanthropists, Giveth users & builders, Blockchain4Good DAO members, and other ecosystem partners. To check your GIVdrop eligibility or to claim click here. To learn how to claim your GIVdrop, refer to our tutorial below.

    All addresses have until Decemember 24, 2022 to claim their GIVdrop. After that, any unclaimed tokens will be returned to the Giveth DAO.

    GIVdrop Eligibility​

    17.05% of the total initial supply (1 billion GIV) has been distributed to our trusted seed. The trusted seed is a group of individuals - previous supporters 10% of these tokens are instantly claimable on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network) as the GIVdrop. The rest initializes and sustains the GIVstream - a flow of GIV that becomes claimable gradually and continuously until December 23, 2026.

    Eligible recipients of the GIVdrop and the associated GIVstream include:

    • Giveth Contributors 5.05%
    • Past donors to Giveth directly 4%
    • Blockchain4Good heroes 4%
    • Past donors to projects on Giveth 2%
    • Past users of beta Giveth TRACE 1%
    • Past donors to Gitcoin Grants in Rounds 1-7 1%

    The Blockchain4Good DAO heroes group includes a list of over 2500 unique addresses, with over 60 different groupings. The majority of addresses belong to people who have been identified as crypto donors, with the rest belonging to value-aligned DAO members that are working, directly or indirectly, to further Giveth's mission. You may have a GIVdrop if you are part of any of these groups (and many others!):

    • 1Hive
    • ChievMint
    • clr.fund
    • Commons Stack Trusted Seed
    • Crypto Commons Gathering
    • Ethereum Foundation
    • General Magic
    • MetaCartel DAO

    • MolochDAO
    • STAKEhausDAO
    • TEC Hatchers
    • TrojanDAO
    • Vocdoni
    • WeTrust
    • WhalerDAO
    The snapshot for past donors and Giveth users was taken in March 2021. The snapshot for contributors (builders) and Blockchain4Good DAO heroes was taken in September 2021. For donors to Gitcoin Grants, GIVdrop eligibility was for those who donated in at least two rounds from rounds 1-8. Our snapshot was taken at those times because the token development was all public, and we didn't want to give all of the GIV to the airdrop hunters that have proliferated throughout the past year.
    info

    We have made every effort to include all valid addresses in this GIVdrop made at our discretion. Not every person who has ever interacted with Giveth is eligible. If you did not receive GIV, that is because you were not eligible or the wallet that stores the address that was eligible can not be accessed. We will not review past transactions or consider other addresses for inclusion. We appreciate your understanding.

    If you did not receive the GIVdrop, check out our GIVbacks program to find out how to get GIV!

    NOTE: If you received the GIVdrop but no longer have access to the eligible address, it is possible for us to redirect the allocation to another ETH address. However, you need to prove who you are and that you do have tokens allocated to you. If this is you, reach out to our team for support. FYI - if no one in the Giveth team knows you, it probably won't work out.

    GIVfarm

    caution

    On October 29, 2022, the GIVfarm was exploited on ETH Mainnet, all funds in the Mainnet farming contracts were drained and stolen. The Giveth Community voted subsequently to not restart any of the affected farms. Currently most GIV liqudity farming programs have ended since, with the exception of GIVpower Staking 🚀, there are no plans to launch any new GIVfarm programs in the future. However there are still opportunities to earn liquidity rewards through the RegenFarm program.

    This documentation article will remain for historical reference.

    The GIVfarm launched on December 24, 2021. 3.5% of the total token supply, 35 Million GIV, has been allocated to the first GIVfarm round of 6 months, 65 million tokens are held in a multisig for future liquidity provision. Farms are available on either Ethereum Mainnet (ETH) or Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network). Any farms you stake tokens into will yield GIV rewards and add to your GIVstream flowrate only for that corresponding chain. GIV reward distribution for the 6 pools available is as follows:

    PoolTokens Allocated
    80GIV/20ETH Balancer on Mainnet2.5 Million GIV
    GIV Staking on Mainnet2.5 Million GIV
    GIV/HNY Honeyswap on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network)10 Million GIV
    GIV/WETH Sushiswap on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network)2.5 Million GIV
    GIVgardens Staking on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network)7.5 Million GIV
    info

    A Note:​

    10 Million GIV was originally allocated as rewards for a GIV/ETH Uniswap V3 pool on Mainnet. However, we detected one actor that was abusing a vulnerability in the system to earn rewards disproportionately and then dump the GIV. The community voted to terminate the Univ3 rewards program (snapshot), and they were shut off on March 21st, 2022. You can learn more about it here.

    The amount claimable from rewards on the day of launch will be 10% with the other 90% allocated to flow out from the GIVstream. The GIVstream will flow for 5 years, and as time passes, the greater the amount immediately claimable from rewards will be. As you earn rewards in the GIVfarm, you also increase the flow rate of your GIVstream.

    GIVfarming the GIVgarden​

    The GIVeconomy implements a unique feature in its GIV Staking pool on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network). When you stake tokens in this farm, you are also wrapping those GIV in the GIVgarden. This means that while collecting rewards from the GIVfarm, you also unlock voting power within the GIVgarden as long as you stay staked in this farm. Conversely, while wrapping GIV in the GIVgarden you are also staking tokens into the aforementioned GIV staking pool.

    Weekly Distribution​

    Round 1 (26 weeks) weekly GIV rewards distribution percentages based on GIVfarm liqudity mining supply are as follows:

    GIVgarden

    Giveth has chosen the Gardens DAO governance platform developed by 1hive to allow GIV token holders to manage the DAO configurations and allocate funds to projects that are aligned with its mission, vision and values. Our unique Giveth Garden has been aptly named “the GIVgarden” and is deployed on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network). The main tools used for governance in the GIVgarden are Conviction Voting and Tao Voting.

    The GIVgarden uses the Giveth Community Covenant as a decentralized social contract that outlines standards for on-chain and off-chain behaviour.

    You can visit the GIVgarden here.

    Conviction Voting​

    Conviction Voting allows requests for funding from the DAO and to suggest improvements, features or unique actions to Giveth and its platforms. Gardens highlights the fundamental concept of Conviction Voting in their documentation:

    Conviction voting is the heart of a Garden. It allows folks to signal their preferences continuously rather than forcing them to “make a decision.” From the perspective of a community member, this is as easy as just showing up and supporting the things you care about.

    The unique feature of Conviction Voting is that, instead of voting yes or no on proposals, you stake GIV behind proposals that align with your values. The more GIV you stake and the longer you stake your GIV the more “Conviction” (voting power) you accrue for that proposal. If the collective Conviction from all proposal participants reaches a certain threshold then the proposal passes.

    Tao Voting​

    Tao Voting is a YES/NO decision making tool, with the option of delegation, that is used in the GIVgarden to make important, non-financial decisions for the DAO. Tao Voting is used for proposals on updating DAO parameters, fixing bugs, adding new features to the DAO and/or for emergency situations such as an attack to the DAO treasury.

    Tao Voting was named inspired by the Tao or “the way” which can “be roughly thought of as the flow of the Universe, or as some essence or pattern behind the natural world that keeps the Universe (the Giveth DAO) balanced and ordered”. Tao Voting includes features like Delegation and Quiet Ending to ensure that votes that pass can reasonably reflect the true opinion of DAO members and are not passed with a lot of contention.

    When you delegate your voting power to a “delegate”, you are empowering them to vote on your behalf on decision votes in the GIVgarden with Tao Voting. Delegates have a period of time - the Delegated Voting period - to submit their votes. The Vote Duration is longer than the Delegate Voting power, and within that difference of time you have the opportunity to review and, if desired, change the way your delegate has voted for you. You can delagate your voting power to a delegate in the GIVgarden.

    delegation UIdelegation UI

    Wrapping GIV & Earning Rewards​

    In order to vote on proposals in the GIVgarden you’ll have to wrap your tokens. This exchanges your GIV tokens for GIVgarden-compatible gGIV tokens that can be staked on proposals. You earn rewards for all wrapped GIV, regardless of whether or not you use your wrapped GIV (gGIV) to vote on proposals. You can choose to wrap your GIV and get gGIV in the GIVgarden, or via the GIVfarm by participating in the single-asset GIV staking pool on xDai. When you unwrap your GIV in the GIVgarden or unstake your GIV from the single-asset GIVfarm your gGIV tokens will be burned, removing your voting power, and your GIV tokens will be returned to you.

    You can see the APR for wrapped GIV on our GIVfarm page. The more GIV you stake, the more rewards you get, and the higher your flowrate will be in the GIVstream. Being an active community member is rewarding in more ways than one!

    Proposals​

    In the GIVgarden, there are three types of proposals that can be made: Funding, Suggestion, and Decision.

    • A Funding proposal is a request for funds from the GIVgarden common pool. The more funds being requested, the more Conviction that is required to pass the proposal. Conviction Voting is used to determine the outcome of funding proposals.
    • A Suggestion proposal is a broad category for any platform feature, or community action you would like to make happen that does not request funds from the treasury. Conviction Voting is used to determine the outcome of Suggestion proposals.
    • A Decision proposal is used when updating GIVgardenparameters or fundamentally changing the GIVgarden in some way is necessary. These proposals require some degree of community consensus around discrete, binary choice decisions and therefore are expected to be used much less frequently. Tao Voting is used to determine the outcome of Decision proposals.

    To learn more about how the GIVgarden works, visit the Gardens overview in the 1hive documentation.

    Covenant​

    In order to participate in the GIVgarden you’ll first need to sign the Giveth Covenant. This is our decentralized social contract which outlines standards for on-chain and off-chain community behaviour. In the event that a proposal is challenged, the covenant shall be used as a baseline for what defines acceptable and not acceptable proposals within that GIVgarden.

    Disputability​

    In order to create or challenge a proposal, you must deposit GIV into the GIVgarden. When you make a proposal, an amount of GIV from here will be used as the Proposal Deposit (aka “Action Deposit”) and will be held as collateral if your proposal is challenged (i.e., accused of not being in agreement with the Covenant). Similarly, if you wish to challenge a proposal, an amount of GIV from the initial deposit will be used as the Challenge Deposit, i.e., collateral in order to make a challenge.

    When a proposal is challenged in the GIVgarden, the proposal creator has a set amount of time, the Settlement Period to dispute the challenge by paying dispute fees and raising the issue to Celeste, or to resolve the challenge by paying the Settlement Offer and taking down their proposal. If they do not take action before the end of the Settlement Period, the proposal is automatically considered “settled”, is taken down, and the proposer gets back the Proposal Deposit minus the Settlement Offer.

    Celeste, also built by 1Hive, is a decentralized court for DAOs which acts as the final backstop in the GIVgarden. Celeste allows for challenged and disputed proposals to be flagged and brought to the consideration of a randomized group of jurors, ensuring that contentious proposals are not able to be passed without due process.

    Proposal Lifecycle​

    If you feel like you have a good grasp on Giveth and how we work and have something great to propose to the community, there are some processes you should respect in order to have the best possible chance of success.

    1. Think of something awesome. Come up with an idea that you think would be valuable for the Giveth’s Community or Platform. If your idea requires funding, consider how much and how you can justify its costs.
    2. Create a forum post. Post your idea in the Giveth Forum in the appropriate category and outline your proposal in detail. This allows the community to review and assess the impacts of your proposal. Proposals created in the GIVgarden must include a link to a Giveth forum post explaining its details.
    3. Use Advice Process. Following your forum post the community will give you feedback and express any concerns. The Advice Process will allow you to modify your proposal or address any concerns ensuring it is the best version possible and achieves maximum consensus.
    4. **Sign the Giveth Covenant. Signing that you agree to the Giveth Covenant in the GIVgardens will permit you to begin using the governance tools it provides.
    5. Deposit GIV to the GIVgarden. Every proposal requires a Proposal Deposit, i.e., a specified amount of GIV that you post as collateral. This discourages spamming proposals and can also be forfeited in the case of losing or conceding to a challenged proposal.
    6. Submit your Proposal. Draft and submit your proposal, along with the Proposal Deposit, providing the required information in the GIVgarden.
    7. Remind the Community to Vote! Now the community will deliberate on your final proposal, choosing whether or not to stake their GIV behind it. If it receives enough support, the proposal will pass.
    8. Celebration and Delivery! If your proposal passes on the GIVgarden, give yourself a pat on the back - that is no easy feat! Once the proposal has been finalized and executed make sure to deliver on any promised actions you have outlined.

If you lock up more of your staked GIV this will multiply your GIVpower by a factor depending on how long you lock it for. The longer you lock, the greater your multiplier, and the greater your GIVpower. 3.GIV becomes unlocked. Once the duration of any of your batches of locked GIV ends, you will lose the multiplier on your GIVpower that was applied from locking up that batch of GIV. Your total GIVpower balance will decrease. 4. Unstaking GIV. If you unstake your GIV from the GIVpower farm you will burn your GIVpower at a 1:1 ratio per GIV unstaked.

    After boosting your first project with GIVpower you will always be allocating 100% of it to a project(s). By design, no matter if your total GIVpower goes up or down you will always be using your GIVpower to maximum effect and your allocations to projects will always remain at the relative percentages in which you allocated.

    Project Rank​

    All verified projects that have been boosted with GIVpower will receive a GIVpower rank. The project with the most GIVpower will be ranked #1 on the platform. The “current rank” is updated at the start of each new GIVbacks round, and is taken from the average amount of GIVpower staked behind a project across the previous round (two weeks).

    note

    The “projected rank” is a projection of what the current rank may be in the next GIVbacks round, based on the GIVpower that is currently on that project. The projected rank gives you an idea of the impact your recent boost might have.

    project ranking page

    A project's current rank in turn affects the percentage of GIVbacks new donors will receive from donating it. The top ranked project can yield up to 80% GIVbacks matching while a verified project with no rank (i.e. no GIVpower behind it) will yield 50%. To determine the GIVbacks factor for every project between the top and bottom ranks we take the spread, or the difference between the maximum and minimum GIVbacks factor, and divide that by the number of ranked projects we have at the end of every round, from this we can find the unique GIVbacks factor for every ranked project.

    Every project from the bottom to the top rank will receive incrementally more GIVbacks matching. This means that, no matter what a project’s current rank is, boosting it with GIVpower can always make a difference.

    You can read more about GIVbacks here.

    See an Example GIVbacks Distribution

    The year is 2049, it is GIVbacks round 1337...

    We have 25 verified projects that have been boosted with GIVpower. The maximum GIVbacks factor is 80%, the minimum is 50%, and the difference between the two is 30%. This would mean the project with the least amount of GIVpower, project ranked #25, would have a GIVbacks Factor of 50% and every subsequently higher ranked project would have a 1.25% higher GIVbacks factor.

    The total GIV to distribute for the round is 1,000,000 and the price of GIV is $0.53.

    For demonstration purposes we record that every single ranked project got a flat 100 USD value in donations. Based on this information and some given values for GIVpower staked to a given project our example distribution would look like this:

    GIVstream

    Welcome to the expanding GIViverse! The GIVstream aligns community members with the long term success of Giveth and the GIVeconomy. With the GIVstream, anyone who adds value to the GIVeconomy receives GIV continuously for up to 5 years from the GIVeconomy launch date. The GIVeconomy begins humbly, but as time passes, the GIViverse expands: More GIV becomes liquid is streamed to our community of GIVernauts.

    All GIVstreams flow until December 23, 2026, at which point the GIVeconomy will be in full swing! Watch your GIVstream flow.

    How it Works​

    At launch, 10% of the total token supply of 1 billion GIV will be liquid and distributed across the GIVeconomy. The rest supplies the GIVstream which flows for 5 years, releasing more liquid GIV every second. After the 5 year period, 100% of GIV tokens will be liquid.

    The following table explains what percentage of GIV is liquid and distributed throughout the GIViverse, and which part is still yet to flow from the GIVstream.

    Your GIVstream Flowrate​

    flowrate counter

    Your GIVstream flowrate is the rate (GIV/week) at which your GIV becomes liquid. All recipients of the GIVdrop will also receive a GIVstream on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network). If you did not receive a GIVdrop, you can still get a GIVstream by participating in the GIVeconomy.

    You can get (or increase) your GIVstream flowrate on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network) by donating (on Gnosis Chain or Mainnet) and getting GIVbacks, by wrapping GIV to use in the GIVgarden, or by staking in the GIVfarm on Gnosis Chain.

    You can get (or increase) your GIVstream flowrate on Ethereum mainnet by providing mainnet liquidity and staking GIV or LP tokens in the GIVfarm on Mainnet.

    Earning Rewards​

    When you earn GIV through participation in the GIVeconomy, part will be liquid and part will add to your GIVstream flowrate. As time passes and the GIVstream flows, a greater percentage of the total GIV you earn is liquid.

    When you earn and/or claim rewards from GIVbacks (Gnosis Chain), the GIVgarden (Gnosis Chain) or the GIVfarm (Gnosis Chain or Ethereum Mainnet), you increase your GIVstream flowrate. Note that when you claim, any GIV liquid from the GIVstream on that chain also get sent to your wallet.

    GIVgarden Rewards

    History Table​

    The GIVstream history table is a summary of all the instances in which your GIVstream flowrate increased. When GIVbacks are distributed, the increase in your flowrate is automatically added to the history table. For rewards earned in GIVfarm, you must "harvest" in order to see your GIVstream flowrate increase, and to see the corresponding entry in the history table.

    Note: When earning rewards in the GIVfarm, it does not matter if you harvest rewards and increase your flowrate sooner, or later. You total liquid rewards and streaming rewards will be the same in either case.

    The GIVstream nurtures the GIVeconomy at inception by having only 10% of the total supply of GIV liquid and transferrable to start. As the GIVeconomy grows & stabilizes, more GIV becomes liquid and available for everyone. We want to empower those who support the Giveth ecosystem with steadily increasing governance rights, this includes participants who:

    Participants benefit from their GIVstream flowing as the GIVeconomy flourishes over time, therefore we ensure that Giveth is not just governed by people who buy tokens on the open market but by those who contribute in a more meaningful way.

    Giveth is building a culture of giving that empowers and rewards those who give -- to projects, to society, and to the world. We aim to inspire our community to participate in an ecosystem of collective support, abundance and value-creation. Welcome to the GIVeconomy.

    About GIV​

    GIV is the governance token that fuels and directs the GIVeconomy. GIV holders are empowered to collectively coordinate around shared resources and fund initiatives that shape the Future of Giving.

    At launch, our community can participate in the GIVeconomy in the following ways:

    • From December 24, 2021 onward, eligible recipients can claim their GIVdrop on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network).
    • Donors to verified projects on Giveth get rewards from GIVbacks.
    • Liquidity providers and stakers can earn rewards in the GIVfarm.
    • All GIV holders can create and/or vote on proposals in the GIVgarden.
    • Anyone who claims GIV from their participation in the GIVeconomy gets a continuous flow of GIV from the GIVstream until December 23, 2026.
    • You can stake your GIV to get GIVpower and boost projects you love, increase their rank and increasing the amount of GIVbacks given to their donors.

    Token Adresses​

    Distribution​

    An amount of 1 billion GIV tokens were minted at the onset of the GIVeconomy. 100 million of the GIV tokens are liquid and available for use immediately, and the other 900 million have been allocated to the GIVstream and are being released continuously throughout the entire "GIViverse" over a period of 5 years (until December 23, 2026). The distribution of the total supply of GIV throughout the GIViverse is outlined in the following graphic:

    The GIVeconomy has been built thanks to our dedicated community of Givers. Giveth has been growing since 2016 on a foundation of donations, time, skills, sweat, generosity & love! We are proud to launch an economy by and for the donors, with no money gleaned from presales or venture capitalists.

    The GIVeconomy Future​

    The intention with GIVfi is to create a sustainable way of maintaining funds in the GIVgarden common pool. While donations on the DApp are waiting to be disbursed, they will be generating interest that can be used to send GIV to the GIVgarden for funding initiatives using Conviction Voting.

    GURVES​

    Our biggest dream is to support for-good projects on Giveth to become their own microeconomies. The idea is when a donor gives to a verified project on Giveth, they get some GIV from the GIVbacks program. When this happens, some GIV is put into a bonding curve that is uniquely generated for the project. The donor then receives freshly minted "project tokens" from the bonding curve. Projects are in effect being gifted their own token economy, opening up endless possibilities for incentives and system design!

    *Interacting using the Torus Wallet

    To interact with the GIVeconomy and other dApps using the Torus wallet, you will have to connect your wallet. To connect, click the “Connect Wallet” icon in the upper right corner of the site, then select Torus and verify. The Torus wallet allows users to sign in with accounts from many different web services, so be sure to sign in with the same account you used to set up the wallet.

    Signing in with Torus on the GIVeconomy

    If you are using the Brave browser, you will need to turn off Brave’s Shield feature. To do this, click the Brave logo to the right of the search bar, then toggle the Shield to off.

    $nice Token

    The $nice token was launched in Q3 2022 in an effort to promote direct donations to the Giveth Organization.

    When users on the Giveth Dapp make a donation to the Giveth Project in certain eligible tokens they'll receive $nice in return.

    nice token banner

    The following tokens have been listed as eligible for $nice when donated to Giveth:

    • DAI (Mainnet)
    • USDC (Mainnet)
    • xDAI (Gnosis Chain)
    • wxDAI (Gnosis Chain)

    $nice is matched at a 1:1 ratio of the USD value of the donations at the time the donation was made. For example if you donated 50 DAI to Giveth (assuming it holds its $1 peg) you would receive 50 $nice.

    Eligible donations are registered on the same bi-weekly rounds that GIVbacks follow. Distribution of $nice, once calculated, is done at the same time that GIVbacks are sent out.

    Token Address​

    Utility​

    The first of many features of $nice will be the ability to redeem it for swag on the Giveth swag shop. You can get Giveth branded clothing and more delivered right to your door for supporting Giveth.

    Some other exciting utilities down the road might include:

    • Early Access to and Redemption of $nice for Giveth PFPs.
    • Leaderboards and Social Media promotion of top Giveth donors and $nice holders.
    • GIV rewards program for $nice holders.

    The sky's the limit for $nice and the Giveth team is actively building and experimenting with features and future utilities of this new token.

    Use of Funds​

    Giveth will use the acquired funds for a very direct strategy to ensure the stability and growth of Giveth and the GIVeconomy.

    50% of the USD value of eligible donations received will be used to buy back GIV. The other 50% will be used to create a liquidy pool pair with the bought back GIV.

    Let's look at an example:

    Over a 3 month period Giveth acquires $100,000 of eligible donations in DAI.

    We use $50,000 worth of the DAI received to buy back GIV from the circulating supply.

    Subsequently we take this $50,000 worth of GIV we just bought back and combine it with the remaining $50,000 of DAI to supply a $100,000 DAI/GIV LP position on Uniswap v2 that is owned by the Giveth multisig.

    This effectively allows Giveth to create strong DAO-owned liquidity positions over time. This in turn helps to mitigate the volatility that liquidity farming programs can have on the GIV token economy.

    Giveth may employ new strategies for received funds at any given point in the future.

    Giveth Referral Program

    The Giveth referral program is a way for users to earn rewards by inviting their friends and network to donate to impact projects. Since the launch of the GIVeconomy in 2020, donors can earn GIV tokens when they donate to verified projects thanks to our GIVbacks program. With our referral program, users can earn even more rewards!

    By encouraging their friends and network to donate on Giveth through their unique referral link, referrers' can earn up to 50% of their friend's GIVbacks as well (an equivalent of up to 40% of the value of the donation amount).

    Who is eligible to participate?​

    This referral program is open to everyone! It doesn't matter if you're a project owner, a recurrent donor or just passionate about public goods. If you'd like to earn rewards and make a positive impact, you can generate your own referral link and share it on social media, your website or favorite community channels.

    Project owners are able to participate too, making this the first time that they can earn GIVbacks for donations to their project. Past donors can also use the program to earn GIVbacks without actually donating: by sharing their referral links and getting rewarded for donations made to their favorite projects.

    Getting Started​

    In order to participate in the Giveth referral program, you will need to sign into Giveth.

    Next, look for the Share & get rewarded button to generate your unique links to specific pages across the Giveth site.

    Referral Button

    Copy your unique link from the corresponding modal and start sharing it to encourage your network to give to good causes.

    Referral ConnectReferral Link

    That's it! If someone gets to Giveth by clicking on your link, you’ll earn GIVbacks rewards for any donation they make to verified projects for a specific period of time (see Earnings below).

    Any GIV rewards you earn will be claimable from the GIVbacks page within 2-3 weeks. Check our GIVbacks documentation for more information about how GIVbacks works.

    Earnings​

    When someone donates through your unique referral link, you can receive up to 50% of the GIVbacks for their donation. This exact percentage varies depending on if the referred donor is a new Giveth user or an existing user (someone who has interacted with the Giveth dApp in the past). It’s important to note that 100% of every donation still goes directly to the project.

    If you refer someone new to Giveth​

    If your referee has never used Giveth before, you will earn 50% of the GIVbacks corresponding to each donation they make to a verified project in the current and subsequent GIVbacks rounds. In other words, you earn GIVbacks for any donations they make to verified projects for a minimum of two weeks from the time they click your referral link. For example, if you refer a new user to donate in GIVbacks round 30, you will be entitled to 50% of all GIVbacks generated from all donations made in GIVbacks round 30 and 31 from that user. Learn more about GIVbacks rounds here.

    If you refer an existing Giveth user to donate​

    If your referee has interacted with the giveth.io in the past, you will earn 50% of the GIVbacks that would have been allocated to that user for a period of 24 hours from when that user clicks on your referral link. For example, if a returning user clicks on your referral link at 9am, you will be entitled to 50% of all GIVbacks generated from all donations the user makes to verified projects until 9am the following day (24 hours).

    Terms & Conditions for Submitting or Challenging a Proposal

    1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS​

    These Terms & Conditions constitute an agreement between the Proposal Creator or the Challenger (both may be referred to as “You” in terms and conditions that are applicable for both individualsand Giveth (“We” or “Giveth”), which resides on the Gnosis Chain (formerly xDAI network), regarding either the submission of or challenging a Proposal to Giveth in the GIVgarden.

    “Proposal Creator” is any individual who submits a Proposal to GIVgarden for Conviction Voting, while “Challenger” is anyone who disputes or challenges a submitted Proposal to GIVarden.

    “Proposal” means any project requesting funding for creating and coordinating value for society at large submitted to the GIVgarden via our Conviction Voting System.

    By accessing and using the GIVgarden, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and all applicable laws of your jurisdiction and all of it as it may be modified, changedsupplemented or updated from time to time. Please read these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) before submitting or challenging a Proposal in the GIVgarden.

    If you do not agree with the Terms, you shall not submit or challenge a Proposal in the GIVgarden.

    2. MODIFICATIONS OF TERMS OF USE​

    The Giveth community reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms & Conditions at any time. The most current version of these Terms will be posted on our docs. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Submission of or disputing Proposals after any modification to the Term constitutes your acceptance of the Terms & Conditions as modified. To participate in the GIVgarden you are assumed to have read and accepted these Terms.

    3. ELIGIBILITY​

    As a Proposal Creator or Challenger, you represent and warrant that you: (a) are of legal age to form a binding contract; (b) have not previously been suspended or removed from using the GIVgarden and (c) have full power and authority to enter into this agreement and in doing so will not violate any other agreement to which you are a party.

    By submitting or challenging a Proposal, you represent and warrant that you will not submit or challenge a Proposal if the laws applicable to you due to your country of residency and/or citizenshi prohibit you from doing so in accordance with these Terms.

    Pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, the Giveth community maintains the right to select its markets and jurisdictions to operate and may restrict or deny Proposal submission/disputes fro certain countries at its discretion.

    US residents or those domiciled in the US are prohibited from using the Site. Further, residents or domiciliaries of any country embargoed or restricted by Alderney may not use this Site including, Belarus, Burundi, Central African Republic, Congo, DPRK (North Korea), Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Myanmar(Burma), Republic of South Sudan, Somalia, Sudan Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen, Zimbabwe.

    4. PROPOSAL GUIDELINES​

    All proposals are bound by the Giveth Covenant. If you haven't taken the time to read through it yet, please make sure you do so. To participate in Giveth you are assumed to have read, understood and agreed to be bound by the Giveth Covenant.

    Before submitting a Proposal, the Proposal Creator must first create a post on the Giveth Forum. This post should explain why the Proposal is beneficial to the community and (if applicable) what the requested funds will be used for. Only submitted Proposals linked to a post in the Forum are subject to Conviction Voting.

    5. DEPOSIT AND OTHER FEES​

    1. “Deposit Manager”- The Proposal Creator or the Challenger will be required to add Giveth tokens (GIV) into the GIVgarden’s Deposit Manager before submitting or challenging a Proposal. The Giveth tokens in the Deposit Manager can be withdrawn at any time, as long as they are not actively being used as collateral for a “Proposal Deposit” or “Challenge Deposit”.
    2. “Proposal Deposit” - When the Proposal Creator makes a Proposal, an amount of GIVs previously deposited in the Deposit Manager will be used as the collateral while the Proposal is being voted on to attest that the Proposal is aligned with Giveth Covenant. This collateral is referred to as the Proposal Deposit.
    3. “Challenge Deposit”- When the Challenger disputes a Proposal, the Challenger is required to stake some tokens as collateral. This amount is taken from the tokens the Challenger already deposited using the Deposit Manager. Backing challenges with collateral helps to ensure they have some amount of seriousness behind them. The Challenge Deposit can be forfeited in case the Celeste Keepers rule against the Challenger, if the Proposal was raised to Celeste.
    info

    Celeste is a decentralized court of DAOs built by 1hive. It allows for challenged and disputed proposals to be flagged and brought to the consideration of a randomized group of jurors, called “Celeste Keepers”. This ensures that contentious proposals are not able to be passed without due process.

    1. “Settlement Offer” - In case the Proposal is challenged, the Proposal Creator has a set amount of time, called the “Settlement Period”, either to dispute the challenge by raising the issue to Celeste or to resolve the challenge by paying the Settlement Offer and taking down the Proposal. The Settlement Offer will define an amount of the Proposal Deposit that will be sent to the Challenger if the Proposal is not taken to Celeste. If the Proposal Creator does not take action before the end of the Settlement Period, the Proposal is automatically considered “settled”, is removed from the voting interface, and the Proposal Creator gets back the Proposal Deposit minus the Settlement Offer. \

    2. “Gas Fees” - All Proposals are subject to varying gas fees required by the Gnosis Chain to carry out transactions. “Gas Fees” refers to the cost necessary to perform a transaction on the network. Gas Fees are set by the user at the time of transaction and are dependent on supply and demand for the computational power of the network needed to process smart contracts and other transactions on the network, therefore, Giveth shall not have any liability for the determination of Gas Fees, nor does it receive any compensation related to them.

    6. DISPUTABILITY​

    A dispute can be created by another community member (the Challenger) by challenging the Proposal and committing GIVs and HNY (1Hive’s token honey) to support the dispute.

    If after being challenged, the Proposal Creator agrees to pay the Challenger the Settlement Offer and withdraw the Proposal, the Proposal Deposit will be returned to the Proposal Creator minus the Settlement Offer.

    If after being challenged and the Proposal Creator fails to take any action before the Settlement Period ends, the Challenger’s dispute is considered valid and the Proposal Creator will be considered to have accepted the Settlement Offer. The Proposal is withdrawn and the Proposal Deposit will be returned to the Proposal Creator minus the Settlement Offer.

    If after being challenged and the Proposal Creator decides to counter-challenge the dispute by staking HNY, Celeste will be used to settle the dispute while the Proposal Creator retains the right to appeal that decision. If the Celeste Keepers would rule in favor of the Proposal Creator, the Proposal Creator can be rewarded the Challenger’s Deposit.

    Celeste Keepers are expected to review all disputed Proposals, the Giveth Covenant, evidence submitted by the Proposal Creator and Challenger, and related past disputes in order to provide a judgment that they feel best aligns with the established norms and intention of the Giveth community.

    7. PARTNERSHIPS​

    Each Proposal Creator and Challenger acknowledges and agrees that these Terms do not constitute a partnership agreement of any kind. Despite this, in the event that a court or tribunal determines any aspect of these Terms is found to constitute or cause a partnership to arise, you hereby waive any rights against each other partner in respect of the released Claims howsoever arising, including any obligation to account or account for any profit or loss or any other cause of action that a partner would have against another partner in the context of a partnership.

    Each Proposal Creator and Challenger acts independently from Giveth, acknowledges and agrees that these Terms do not constitute any form of joint venture, employment relationship or partnership agreement of any kind.

    Giveth Matching Pool

    The Giveth Matching Pool is raising funds for future donation matching to verified projects on Giveth! It is a one-stop-shop for donors who want to ensure their donation has a broad impact.

    Our vision for the Future of Giving is a world in which giving is effortless and people are rewarded for making positive change. Give to donation.eth, make a difference for public goods, and get rewarded with GIVbacks.

    Donations to this project on any of our supported chains (Mainnet, Gnosis, Optimism and Polygon) are eligible for GIVbacks, and 100% of the funds collected will be distributed to verified projects on Giveth. Note: only donations in tokens on the GIVbacks token list are eligible for GIVbacks.

    The recipient of this project is our donation.eth multisig, a 7/15 multisig managed by core Giveth team members.

    We plan to distribute the funds raised by this project based on 2-week quadratic funding rounds on Giveth.io (expected to launch mid-2023). Project eligibility for each QF round will vary, and we will keep you posted about eligibility requirements and other round details as we have them!

    Quadratic Funding

    What is Quadratic Funding?​

    Quadratic Funding (QF) is a funding mechanism designed to distribute a matching pool among multiple projects based on the number of unique contributors. In quadratic funding, matched amounts are calculated by using the quadratic formula, where "the amount received by the project is proportional to the square of the sum of the square roots of contributions received". (Reference: Liberal Radicalism: A Flexible Design for Philanthropic Matching Funds)

    With Quadratic Funding, the matching rate decreases as the size of the contribution increases. The goal is to bring the most funding to projects that have the largest community supporting them, rather than supporting only projects with a few large donations from a small number of people. This helps to create a more democratic and inclusive system for funding projects.

    For more information, details, and even a helpful simulator, visit “WTF is QF?” or check out this explanation by Finematics.

    Giveth Quadratic Funding​

    Giveth has integrated quadratic funding into our existing donation platform to help drive more donations to amazing public goods projects!

    QF on Giveth operates in rounds. Only donations made during an active QF round are eligible to be matched, any donations made before or after the round dates will not be matched. Rounds can vary in length but generally will last between 2-3 weeks. Other restrictions may apply such as project eligibility, fraud detection and the donor’s Gitcoin passport score, more on that below in this article.

    Our quadratic funding rounds allow for donations on any of our supported chains (Mainnet, Gnosis, Optimism, Polygon and Celo, as of July 2023). Projects participating in active rounds are sorted on the QF project page by default according to GIVpower and donations to these verified projects are also eligible for GIVbacks.

    Donations on Giveth are direct, peer-to-peer with zero fees and intermediaries.

    Fraud protection​

    Gitcoin Passport​

    Gitcoin Passport is an identity verification application that enables anyone to collect verifiable credentials that prove your identity and trustworthiness without exposing personally identifying information.

    Anyone can donate on Giveth, but in order for a donation to be eligible to be matched during quadratic funding rounds, the donor must verify their Gitcoin Passport before the end of the round. They don’t need to verify their passport right away, but they must have a Passport score above the specified threshold before the round ends in order for any of their in-round donations to count towards the matching.

    You can learn more about Gitcoin Passport in their documentation.

    passport

    Trustalabs​

    For post-round sybil analysis, we will be supported by our partners Trustalabs who have synthesized multiple algorithmic sybil-detection approaches into one single tool.

    Quadratic Force​

    Quadratic Force is the name given to the launch partners that make Giveth quadratic funding rounds possible by donating to the matching pool.

    Anyone can become a member of the Quadratic Force by donating $1000 USD or more to our matching pool verified project. Members of the Quadratic Force benefit from brand exposure, project nominations, GIVbacks and more! To learn more about the Quadratic Force, reach out to our fundraising team by sending a message in our Discord support channel.

    To remain sustainable Giveth will use 10% of the pool funds for the operation and management of the round, and 5% will be given to our partner Trustalabs for sybil detection.

    Giveth Alpha QF Round​

    The goal of the Giveth Alpha QF round is to test this new product live with existing verified projects who are familiar with our platform so that we can iron out any kinks with our trusted community! Following the alpha round, we will address any issues that emerge and work towards launching bigger and better QF rounds in the near future.

    Our Alpha runs from July 18th to August 1st.

    Matching pool​

    A matching pool of $10,000 USD equivalent is available to be distributed via the alpha round on Gnosis Chain. This pool will be used to match donations made to participating projects during the funding period according to QF. The matching funds will be distributed some weeks after the round ends, when post-round sybil analysis is completed.

    Project eligibility​

    We contacted 55 verified projects who had raised over $900 USD equivalent on Giveth by July 1st, 2023 to apply to enter. In order for those projects to become eligible for the round, projects needed to provide an update by Friday July 14. A maximum of 50 verified projects will be accepted into the alpha round.

    In addition to these initial projects, each member of the quadratic force (large donors to the matching pool) were able to select 1-3 verified projects to be included in the round, depending on the size of their contribution to the matching pool.

    We will limit the total number of projects allowed in this alpha round to 50.

    Estimated matching​

    Estimated matching amounts are calculated by using the quadratic funding formula, to understand how this formula works, check out this infographic below:

    infographic
    Source: https://blog.woodstockfund.com/2021/05/20/quadratic-funding-a-better-way-to-fund-public-goods/​

    The estimated matching calculations do not consider the donors' Passport scores, or post-round fraud analysis. They are rough estimations calculated by assuming that the entire matching pool would be distributed according to the donations made in the round to date. This means that the estimated matching amounts are more accurate towards the end of the round, when there is more donation data being used in the calculations.

    The maximum amount that any one project will be able to receive is equal to 20% of the total matching funds for the round.

    During an active round, the estimated matching will be shown on several pages:

    estimatedmatchingprojectcard
    • On the Projects page, the "project card" corresponding to projects in an active QF shows the amount raised during the round, the number of donors so far that round, and the estimated matching. The estimated matching on the project card is determined using the total amount of matching funds, and the total contributions to each QF project to date in that round. This calculation assumes that every unique address is a unique donor, which may lead to discrepancies in estimated matching and actual matching received by the project post-round.
    estimatedmatchingcard

    • On each QF eligible project page, you will see the current estimated matching for that project. This number is the same as the estimated matching on the project card (above).

    • The project page also has a "contribution matching table" that shows an estimated matching amount from a new donation of a given amount. These values are calculated by assuming that a new donation of x (in the column on the left) is made to this project in the round. The estimated matching amount (on the right) is calculated by determining the total matching amount that would be allocated to that project if donation x were included, and then determining what amount of the total matching to that project would be associated with the new donation.

    estimatedmatchingtab
    • While on the “Donations” tab on the project page, you can filter all donations to see which are associated with a particular QF round. If the particular QF round is “active”, you’ll be able to see an estimated matching amount associated with that project for the round. This is calculated using the same logic as the “project card” (above).
    info

    After a QF round ends, the fraud analysis is completed, and the real matching funds are distributed, you will see the actual matching funds corresponding to that project and that round on the "Donations" tab in place of estimated matching.

    estimatedmatchingdonate
    • When you are making a donation to a project, an estimated matching amount corresponding to your donation will be shown. This is calculated using the same logic as the “contribution matching table” (above).

    Payout​

    Once the round is finished and the sybil analysis is complete, the final matching funds will be distributed from our donation.eth multisig account and distributed to the project's registered addresses. The actual matching amount sent to each project post-round will be shown on the project’s "Donations" tab, under the corresponding round filter.

    Regen Farms

    RegenFarms is the next generation of ReFi liquidity mining opportunities for DAOs and regens alike. Using our contracts for the GIVfarm and the GIVstream, we are empowering other for-good DAOs to launch liquidity mining incentive programs, “RegenFarms”, with streams of their own.

    Background​

    Utilizing the GIVstream, all rewards earned in the GIVfarm (until December 23, 2026) include some part liquid and some part streaming. This allows the GIVfarm to offer high APRs without creating excessive sell pressure. Thanks to the GIVstream, Giveth has pioneered an elegant evolution to traditional liquidity mining that offers lucrative rewards while attracting and rewarding long-term hodlers, and keeping participants invested in the project for years to come.

    For Interested DAOs​

    We are now offering this technology as a service to other Blockchain4Good DAOs! Interested DAOs must be able to prove that they are a “Regen Economy”, i.e., are creating a positive impact for society such as by supporting or building public goods in some way. If your DAO is interested in applying to kickstart a RegenFarm, fill out this form. We use snapshot to get approval from GIV token holders before accepting a new DAO for RegenFarms. Once accepted, the interested DAO will need to work with our team to provide their RegenFarm parameters and the funds to kickstart their farm.

    Funding​

    To justify the cost of initiating the farm, a base fee of $5000 (equivalent USD value in the DAO’s token) is provided by the RegenFarm DAO to Giveth. $2500 of this will be sent to donation.eth for the Giveth Matching Pool to fund donations to verified for-good projects. The remaining $2500 will be sent to the Giveth liquidity multisig and will be used by Giveth provide $GIV / [DAO token] liquidity.

    RegenFarm DAOs also provide the funds to reward their Liquidity Providers. Before initiating the farm, 1% of these funds are sent to the Giveth liquidity multisig to be used, as above, for liquidity, and an additional 1% of these funds are sent to the Giveth Matching Pool to fund donations to verified projects.

    RegenFarms UI​

    shapeshift

    Liquidity mining opportunities for RegenFarms can be found on the GIVfarm page. You can provide liquidity (by following the provide liquidity link at the bottom of the card) and stake LP tokens to begin earning rewards. When you "harvest" your earnings, the liquid part will be sent to your wallet, and the streaming part will kickstart your corresponding RegenStream. Liquid rewards earned from your RegenStream are claimable at the bottom right. Note that when you harvest rewards from the RegenFarm card, all liquid rewards from your RegenStream are also sent to your wallet.

    Our mission at Giveth is to reward and empower those who give. RegenFarms is creating win-win opportunities for everyone who interacts with them. To summarize the benefits:

    • Blockchain4good DAOs benefit from the ready-made UI, network effects of offering incentives among other Regen Economies, and the novel benefits of combining rewards with a streaming service.
    • Stakers benefit from high yields and a wealth of farming opportunities, as well as the opportunity to explore for-good web3 projects.
    • Verified projects benefit from boosted Giveth Matching Pool contributions, courtesy of for-good DAOs.
    • The GIVeconomy benefits from additional liquidity and strengthened partnerships in the Blockchain4Good ecosystem.

How to allow third parties to distribute these crypto donations to individuals who can use them effectively. 3. How to securely transfer ownership to the individuals who are making the world a better place. 4. How to determine whether ownership of distributed Ethereum tokens should be transferred or not. In other words: How to be sure a recipient deserves the donated crypto before we transfer it.

    Challenge #1 - Donate without losing ownership​

    This is handled by our vault contract. This is a solidity smart contract that can safely store crypto on behalf of the cryptocurrency’s owner. This is how and why a Giver may control or take back their donations. When a giver donates cryptocurrency through Giveth, the coins are actually stored in a vault with the Giver as the owner.

    Once stored in the vault, the cryptocurrency is held in place and cannot be moved further without the owner's permission.

    Challenge #2 - Distribute collected funds​

    Our Minime contract partly handles this challenge. This is a solidity smart contract that can represent Ether and ERC-20's with replica tokens.

    Instead of transferring actual Ethereum tokens to individuals for their efforts to do good, we can distribute Minime tokens with the assurance that the real crypto is stored in the vault. Minime tokens are used by a number of well-known projects in the Ethereum space.

    Our Giveth TRACE uses another strategy for flexible transfers. Liquid Pledging is a solidity smart contract that allows us to redistribute Ether in a myriad of networked permutations (aka a graph). It's a bit like liquid democracy, but there is no voting (unless you add that as a plugin).

    At its core, Liquid Pledging maintains a list of Ethereum token transfers and owners. These two lists serve as the data structure for the graph. The contract's API provides the means to donate, delegate, and transfer Ethereum tokens stored in the vault.

    Challenge #3 - Transfer ownership​

    Once again, this is resolved by our vault contract. Ethereum tokens are only ever released to addresses whitelisted with the permission of the original donor. In order to fully meet the requirements of challenge #3, we must set some sort of approval process.

    Challenge #4 - Determine if transfer should occur​

    The rules for how transfers are approved are handled by liquid-pledging plugins (lpp). These plugins are separate contracts referenced by the Liquid Pledging contract (see challenge #2).

    For example, you could use our lpp-milestone plugin to require reviewer approval as a condition to releasing Ether from its original donor. In this case, the reviewer is another Ethereum address. If 'acceptMilestone' is called from this approved reviewer address, then the ownership of donated Ether can be released to the Trace (formerly Milestone) recipient's address.

    You don’t have to use our lpp-milestone plugin. You can make your own with whatever you want. Use a contract that mandates the rules you need for your community.

    This concludes the Giveth TRACE Technical White Paper for now. Reach out to us on Discord if you have something you want to do with the ideas listed. We are an open-source project, and it is our mission to help communities.

    Advice Process

    (freely adopted from 'Reinventing Organizations' by Frédéric Laloux)

    Giveth, as a decentralized organization, relies on the principles of self-management. Giveth is a team of individuals with aligned values who decide to act together towards a common purpose. We have different backgrounds, expertise, methodologies and mental frameworks, and through self-management we are tapping into the potential of such different perspectives to solve Giveth's challenges.

    Advice Process is used whenever proposing an action or making a decision that will have an impact on the community. Any decision, big or small, should use Advice Process. Before formally making a proposal, it is important to get feedback from the people it will impact, and from the person who has the most relevant expertise around the subject. The intentions are to improve proposals before they are made, preemptively resolve conflicts and to inform related parties. Compromise is a great solution, but not always plausible. The advice process allows objections to be heard and for proposal creators to consider the potential consequences before taking action.

    Everyone is empowered to make proposals but must consider that they will also be held accountable for the effects of the outcome. However, if Advice Process has been followed, there will be an idea of the reasons why one takes an initiative and all affiliated parties will have contributed to bring the initiative to the best possible outcome (or to not start it at all). If the proposal fails or has challenging consequences after properly using Advice Process it is therefore hard to fault the instigator for trying. It's OK to fail, as long as you do it properly!

    Where does Advice Process happen?​

    Our most active channel for discussion is the Giveth Forum. Advice Process can be implemented publicly or privately; however, to remain aligned with our value of transparency, we heavily encourage community discussion to remain in public channels whenever appropriate to do so.

    In our current DAO configuration, anyone can make a proposal on our Aragon DAO Template. rGiv Governance Token Holders can then vote on these proposals. This process is usually reserved for more critical decisions affecting the organization.

    With this system, tensions might arise over whether a decision was made properly or not. Therefore, in order to decentralize power there needs to be a process to which one can refer. This process ensures that, even if there are disagreements with a proposal, it was made with the best intentions for the organization and has taken into account feedback and advice from all relevant parties.

    The Advice Process Flow:​

    1. Ideation:

      In ideation, problems or opportunities are taken on by the person who notices them, or deferred to someone better-qualified. Self-management implies responsibility. Tensions are not passed along a hierarchy as in traditional organizations, but are rather addressed by the person with the necessary energy or expertise.

    ***Channels:*** The channel for communication in this phase is open. This can be informal so chat, make time for a call, have discussions, fireside chats, generate ideas.

    1. Sounding / Meta thinking:

      Prior to a creating a proposal, the decision-maker may seek input to "sound out" perspectives before proposing action. This is the stage where ideas can be tested against other people's sentiments.

    Some questions to ask:

    *   Am I generating value if I pursue this idea?
    *   Is this a problem that I want to spend my time on?
    *   Am I right in my assumptions and aligned with other people's views about the issue?
    *   What are the possible options I can suggest and what are the caveats that I need to solve before I present an action?

    ***Channels:*** The communication channel for this phase is also informal, as above.

    1. Advice:

      The initiator makes a proposal and seeks advice from those affected and those with expertise.

    For minor decisions, there may be no need to seek advice. For larger decisions, advice can come through various channels, including one-on-one conversations, meetings, or broader community discussions.


    There is no specific time frame to gather advice. It will depend on the scope of the decision.


    ***Channels:*** If it is a minor decision, you can consult individuals or the group via Discord. For larger decisions, our [Giveth DAO Aragon Template](https://aragon.1hive.org/#/giveth/) is the place to create formal proposals.

    *It is your responsibility to reach out to related parties, depending on the importance of the proposal.*

    1. Decision Making:

      Taking advice into account, the proposal is made and its creator informs those who have given advice.

      Channels: Announcements can be made in the Giveth Discord, community call and/or governance call.

    Benefits (from Reinventing Organizations website):​

    • Community: It draws people whose advice is sought into the question at hand. They learn about the issue. The sharing of information reinforces the feeling of community. The person whose advice is sought feels honoured and needed.
    • Humility: Asking for advice is an act of humility, which is one of the most important characteristics of a fun workplace. The act alone says, "I need you". The decision maker and the adviser are pushed into a closer relationship. This makes it nearly impossible for the decision-maker to ignore the advice.
    • Learning: Making decisions is on-the-job education. Advice comes from people who have an understanding of the situation and care about the outcome. No other form of education or training can match this real-time experience.
    • Better decisions: The chances of reaching the best decision are greater than under conventional top-down approaches. The proposal maker has the advantage of being closer to the issue and has to deal with the consequences of the proposal outcome. Advice provides diverse input, uncovering important issues and new perspectives.
    • Fun: The process is just plain fun for the decision-maker, because it mirrors the joy found in playing team sports. The advice process stimulates initiative and creativity, which are enhanced by the wisdom from knowledgeable people elsewhere in the organization.

    Underlying mindsets (adapted from Reinventing Organizations website):​

    Advice Process is a tool that helps decision-making via collective intelligence. Much depends on the spirit in which people approach it. When the advice process is introduced, it might be worthwhile to consider not only the mechanics but also the mindset underlying effective use.

    Advice Process can proceed in several ways, depending on the mindset people bring to it:

    • The initiator can approach it authoritatively ("I don't care about what others have said" or, alternatively, "I fully comply with what others have said").
    • They can approach from a perspective of negotiation or compromise ("I'll do some of what they say so they're happy, but I will feel a little frustrated").
    • They can approach it co-creatively, which is the spirit of the advice process ("I will listen to others, understand the real need in what they say, and think creatively about an elegant solution").

    Disclaimer​

    This document is not:

    • A process to run governance meetings: as a decentralized organization, there are challenges with making decisions in a confined time slot. The governance meeting should be seen as the right moment to engage in some stages of Advice Process and make decisions if all the affected parties are present.
    • A dispute mechanism: Giveth is currently in the process of redefining our conflict resolution process.. Stay tuned!
    • A stone tablet of rules: this document has been created through Advice Process and it can be modified by it as well.

    Joining the Comms Party​

    The Comms WG is an integral part of the Community Circle, which encompasses everything related to human contact and isn’t either development or governance. In addition to communications, that includes outreach and donor relations.

    To participate in engaging with the Comms WG, you must have accounts on the following platforms: Discord, Github with Zenhub extension, Discourse and preferably also Telegram and Twitter. If you do not have these accounts, we can help you set them up.

    1. Join the weekly meeting​

    Discord: Hop on a Comms call held Tuesdays at 12h CST (18h CET). Here you will meet the team and learn about what is going on. You will be able to volunteer during the call for anything you think you can add value to as the team goes through the various issues. Don’t worry, we will help guide you! Here is also a detailed explanation of how Giveth meetings function.

    2. Getting started with your first issue​

    Github/Zenhub: The Zenhub extension turns Github into a project management board.

    planning board for comms with zenhub

    You will need to download it and add it to your browser to establish this user-friendly interface with Github.

    After you have shared your Github handle with the Comms lead, go to the Giveth Planning board, and have a look at the "good first issue" tag (or potentially the “help wanted” tag) to see where you can jump in and contribute. Contributors move their issues across the board as they pass through different stages of completion from “new” to “in progress” to “review” and “done” with several other nuanced options such as “icebox” and “epic”. Be sure to keep up with the status of your issue: do you need help? Tag someone in your issue, and add a comment. Are you done and need to start the review process? Tag at least two others to review your work. Once finished, you can close it! Below are explanations for each stage of an issue on its way to completion.

    Different stages of an issue on the planning board:​

    New issues: new issues discussed in comms meetings or something that you think is relevant to our vision and will provide value to the cause go here.

    Icebox: non-priority issues are listed here.

    Epics: ongoing/larger tasks that are divided into separate smaller issues.

    Backlog: issues that will be added to future sprints.

    Sprint Backlog: issues assigned as part of that week’s work.

    In progress: issues being actively worked on with ideal completion within next 1-2 weeks. There should only be 1-2 issues per assignee “in progress”.

    Review/QA: issues ready for review where 2 senior contributors should be tagged for feedback and support.

    Learn more about issues and understand the workflow.

    3. Working on an issue​

    HackMD and Google Docs: Documents are created through Google Docs or HackMD. Material uploaded to Giveth's documentation must use markdown formatting. You can choose to draft with Google Docs and convert (post-review) to markdown format using the Chrome extension "Docs To Markdown”.

    Make your new Google doc available for edit for reviewers and collaborators either by allowing anyone with the link to edit or at least comment. Submit your work for review (Q/A) to at least two others before implementing. Request reviews both during and after you complete your work by tagging reviewers in your Github issue and adding the doc link. During your work, this review request allows you to consult with team members who may be able to assist not only with various questions but with a general review on the progression of the work. When you are finished, you will tag and consult with at least two reviewers before the issue can be considered executable and finally closed.

    Community Communications Guide

    As an organization, we want everyone to be aligned with our values and principles. We want to ensure respect, cohesiveness, and wild innovation. We want to foster a healthy, diverse and human-centered working ecosystem. We highly value different opinions, perspectives, and personalities. In order to progress to ever-changing landscapes, we need to have a solid foundation of shared practices and values.

    Here in this Giveth Community Communication Guide, we share our communication agreements and outline some best practices for participating in our various channels that help us to guide our energies toward Building the Future of Giving.

    We adhere to these communication agreements:​

    Honor Self​

    If you have a need, meet it.

    If you have a boundary, state it.

    If you have an opinion, voice it.

    We are all encouraged to respect ourselves by tending to our self-care and using our voice to express when we want and need to.

    Honor Others​

    In a similar coin, recognize others as reflections of yourself and hold a high level of integrity when dealing with them.

    We follow the golden rule: treat others as you wish to be treated.

    If someone states a boundary, please respect it or at least kindly express why you are unable to from your perspective.

    If someone does great work and leaves an impression on you, acknowledge them for this by giving !praise and sharing about your positive experience with them in our community call. It feels good to recognize and be recognized.

    Listen Fully​

    The first step to any effective communication is listening fully and being completely present in the moment. Listen to information objectively, without judgment. Listen to the details. So many miscommunications and problems can be completely avoided by actively listening.

    Be Honest and Transparent​

    As a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), Giveth values transparency. We record all of our meetings and share our tools and processes openly with the public. Rather than reinvent the wheel, we utilize wisdom and resources shared from others and adapt them to our unique organization. We believe it is wise to steward common goods collectively.

    Along these lines, in our communication with one another, we encourage honesty, authenticity and transparency. If you have a tension, it’s important to use our Giveth Forum to express it openly or to use our DAO to create proposals that resolve tensions and to vote ‘yes’ and ‘no’ when you feel so inspired. The variety of perspectives, skills and experiences helps us to grow and transform.

    Disagree & Commit​

    Everything in our organization can be questioned and changed. We encourage curiosity and understand change is constant. Disagree & Commit is a management principle where individuals are allowed to disagree while a decision is being made, but that once a decision has been made, everybody must commit to it. Ongoing dissent and resentment are toxic to the execution of the decision. We must give our best effort and 100% support.

    Nothing is perfect. No process is perfect. No decision is perfect. We try our best to find the solution that works for all situations and circumstances. Many times we must commit the best option and just go with it. This is a process of experimentation, not perfectionism.

    Ask Questions​

    It’s better to ask a question than make a mistake. We want to foster a supportive learning environment, so ask as many questions as you want!

    Say “Sorry”​

    If you make a mistake, apologize as soon as possible. Saying sorry is a sign of strength. Oftentimes, the people who do the most work, make the most mistakes. When we share our mistakes, others can learn and the mistake is less likely to be repeated. It takes courage to apologize, and you can do it!

    Say “No”​

    If we can’t trust your “No,” how can we trust your “Yes?” The ability to say “No” will improve your quality of work and happiness. We encourage strong work boundaries and don’t expect you to do everything. Sometimes, saying “No” to a larger workload is an indicator that our organization has grown and we need to hire more people or distribute the workload.

    Keep Commitments​

    Follow through on what you say you will do. Simple. Ensure your talk and walk are the same. Integrity.

    Have Fun​

    Once a Unicorn, always a Unicorn…

    Here at Giveth and in navigating the blockchain for good cryptosphere, we like to have fun. We do this by welcoming a culture of kindness, praising one another, co-creating together, keeping the vibes high and, of course, creating spicy memes.

    Here are best practices when participating in our channels:

    We encourage…​

    • New ideas. Thoughtful, engaging conversations that move us forward.
    • Feedback. Listen to feedback and be open to change.
    • Expression. Expressing tensions with clear requests and/or solutions.
    • Collaboration. We opt to minimize the duplication of efforts whenever possible.
    • Quality over quantity! We invite Givers, Makers and Donors to collaboratively Build the Future of Giving. That means we want people who actively contribute and engage in our platform and channels rather than a bunch of empty followers who are not committed to our vision and mission.
    • Trust. Trusting your team, Trusting your community and Trusting your system.
    • Emojis. Using emojis to show emotional response to others’ posts when we don’t have more to say that would continue the conversation forward or fork it in a new direction.
    • Memes. Creating memes with the Giveth logo watermarked to encapsulate big ideas, trending topics and promote upcoming releases and events.
    • Gamification. Create a great user experience. Make donating a fun thing to do.

    It’s best to avoid…​

    • 1-word posts that do not bring new perspectives to conversations but rather clutter our channel threads, requiring readers to scroll through unnecessary posts to get to the meat. For example, simply posting ‘thanks’ or ‘yeah’ does not suffice.
    • Competition. We look at other organizations as ‘partners’ and ‘allies’ rather than ‘competitors’. We’re here to altruistically make the world a better place, and we believe we can more readily do that when we pool our resources together.
    • Sharing personal information. We never post wallet addresses or other personal details. We value security and protection of private information.

    This is how we transform conflict:​

    • Conflict. Is a golden opportunity to gain clarity and connection. Many times some of the best ideas, strategies, and solutions arise from conflict. Don’t shy away from voicing your ideas and opinions. However, communicate in a manner that still values the personhood and ideas of others.
    • Compromise. Be flexible and open to the ideas of other people. Sometimes we have to make concessions. Remember to have humility. Some of the most innovative solutions are born from compromise.
    • Open to Criticism. Accepting constructive feedback often streamlines improvement to processes and products. Don't defend a point to win an argument or double-down on a mistake. Remember, it’s not personal!
    • Feedback. Focus on giving feedback about the work, not the person. Give examples of the work. No personal attacks, and consider if the person is going through a difficult time in their life in their personal life.

    Conflict Resolution Working Group

    A working group of Gravitons who implement Gravity and provide education and support around conscious communication, empathic listening, and issue revelation and alleviation.

    We aim to bring people together and promote resilience in the Giveth DAO by training our members in non-violent communication, understanding and analyzing conflict and techniques to manage it (internally, individually and collectively). The mission is to help build a culture of wellbeing and high vibes, while also pointing out clear steps to strategically manage disputes whenever they arise.

    What is Gravity?​

    Gravity aims to establish a culture of voluntary compliance around Giveth’s Community Covenant, Code of Conduct, and Community Communications Guide. It proposes the recognition and application of conflict management mechanisms to shape harmonious interactions between the members of its community.

    What is a Giveth Graviton?​

    • Someone enthusiastic about conscious communication, conflict resolution, authentic relating and connection
    • Has completed Gravity’s Graviton training
    • Contributes to the Giveth Conflict Resolution working group
    • A point of contact for reporting conflicts in Giveth
    • Gathers information to develop cases and activities
    • Delegates conflict mediation cases to other Gravitons
    • Provides inter-Graviton support
    • Promotes conscious communication strategies for Gravity & Giveth
    • Fosters Gravity from their active participation in other working groups within Giveth

    Who are the Giveth Gravitons?​

    @Forest Soleil is leading the Conflict Resolution working group at Giveth with support from @Juan Carlos Bell Llinás and @bends#3537 at Gravity.

    Trained & Actively contributing—

    Mateo

    Griff

    Ashley

    Lauren

    Suga

    👉🏼 DM @Juan Carlos Bell Llinás if you are interested in joining.

    The training is offered twice or more per year with the intention of forming Gravitons: a team of individuals equipped with knowledge and social tooling to address and mediate emerging conflicts or any uncomfortable situations in the best way possible.

    Main Actions​

    • In case of conflict, Gravitons can approach the parties involved to collect information on the issues.
    • Gravitons can take actions to regulate unwanted behavior according to the graduated sanctions (Giveth Conflict Resolution Working Group is currently utilizing TEC Gravity’s graduated sanctions while concurrently meeting to adapt our own).
    • All community members can propose new methodologies to approach graduated sanctions and mutual monitoring as well as upgrade current ones through Advice Process and Forum Voting.
    • Gravitons can submit conflicts or issues to the Gravity Registry, that is a database of the cases managed by Gravity.
    • Conflict resolution calls and chats are closed to Gravitons and parties involved to respect privacy and vulnerability.
    • The Giveth Conflict Resolution working group can facilitate safe spaces, skills up leveling workshops, and collaborate with TEC’s Gravity working group to host training and capacitate individuals to become Gravitons.
      • The Gravity training is free and open for all.
    • Gravity can remove proposals from all the voting categories if they receive flags and/or are seen as harmful for the community based on our rules, boundaries, T&C’s, Community Covenant, Code of Conduct, and Community Communications Guide.

    What actions or outcomes are required or encouraged?

    • All members should be aware of the guidelines for scale of conflict and graduated sanctions.
    • All members should commit to respect the protocol for Giveth Meetings.
    • Gravitons should comply to Giveth’s Community Covenant, Code of Conduct, and Community Communications Guide and the additional Graviton Code of Conduct.
    • Gravitons should accept cases based on their competence and communicate to the Conflict Resolution working group if they don’t feel capable of handling an issue.
    • Gravitons should promote trust and good relationships between the community.
    • It is required to complete the Graviton Training successfully to become a Graviton.
    • Gravitons should update the Gravity Registry with the information of possible agreements or the final resolutions.
    • All members should respect the arrangements made about the situations issued.

    What actions or outcomes are discouraged?

    • Violating the agreements stated in this working group’s documentation on this page.
    • Violating the requirements for the Graviton Role (Any member can monitor Gravitons actions and report to other Gravitons, fill in the typeform, or contact community stewards.)

    Giveth Community Covenant

    The Giveth DAO is a self-governed organization dedicated to revolutionizing philanthropy and "Building the Future of Giving" by bridging the Ethereum and non-profit worlds. Giveth's mission is to build a culture of giving that empowers and rewards those who give - to projects, to society, and to the world.

    Giveth envisions a future in which giving is effortless and people all around the world are rewarded for creating positive change. The Giveth platforms aim to be free for donors and projects, globally accessible and self-sustaining. Giveth aims to facilitate the efficient, transparent flow of funds directly to where they have the most positive impact.

    The Giveth community values decentralization, innovation, altruism, empowerment, trust, transparency and collaboration. This social layer is the foundation on which our DAO is built.

    The GIVeconomy represents the economic layer where GIV is issued and distributed programmatically. GIV tokens will be allocated to fund proposals passed in the GIVgarden. GIV distribution from the GIVgarden is henceforth determined by the community who is empowered to use their GIV to vote.

    The growth of Giveth is directly related to the community's ability to foster an inclusive and welcoming culture that people feel proud and delighted to adopt as their own. When someone chooses to participate in the Giveth community, they are implicitly supporting the community's culture, values and norms.

    Therefore, Giveth rests on an ever-evolving social contract, which sets expectations for how members should engage both with the protocol and with one another. The Giveth Community Covenant attempts to lay out this social contract. This Covenant first lays out our pledge to each other to make the Giveth community a welcoming and safe environment for everybody. Second, the Covenant discusses the way both off-chain and on-chain decisions are made and how those decisions are judged to be successful. As a community-driven DAO, the Covenant is subject to change via the community.

    The Pledge​

    We as members, contributors and leaders pledge to make participation in Giveth a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body shape, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sexual characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

    We pledge to act and interact in ways that are in agreement with the Giveth mission, vision and values, and contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive and healthy community.

    Our Standards​

    Examples of behaviour that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:

    • Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
    • Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints and experiences
    • Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
    • Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, while learning from the experience
    • Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community

    Examples of unacceptable behaviour include:

    • The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
    • Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
    • Public or private harassment
    • Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission (commonly called doxing)
    • Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

    On-chain​

    Decision Making​

    Giveth uses the Gardens governance platform to manage the GIVgarden configurations and allocate funds to projects that are aligned with its mission, vision and values.

    On-chain decision making mechanisms for the GIVgarden include Conviction Voting and Tao Voting. Conviction Voting should be used primarily for funds allocation. Tao Voting should be used for updating parameters, bug fixes, adding new features to the DAO and/or for emergency situations such as an attack to the DAO treasury.

    Additional polycentric governance processes used by Giveth are specified in this living document and might change according to the community’s decisions.

    Enforcement​

    The on-chain mechanism for enforcement depends on Celeste - a subjective oracle that uses predictable, inclusive, and democratic means to resolve disputes arising from optimistic actions.

    The ability for Giveth to enforce this covenant is limited to the direct interactions that community members have with the protocol, specifically the ability for community members to submit proposals to allocate GIV issuance or adjust protocol parameters.

    When using the GIVgarden, the proposer will be required to deposit GIV when submitting a proposal, attesting that the impact of the proposal could be reasonably considered to align with Giveth's social contract. A dispute can be created by another community member if they disagree with the proposer's attestation by challenging the proposal and staking an equivalent amount of GIV. If after being challenged the proposal is not withdrawn, a decentralized oracle (Celeste) will be used to settle the dispute. If the oracle responds in favour of the proposer, the proposal will be unlocked and the challenger’s stake will be transferred to the proposer. On the other hand, if the dispute resolves in favour of the challenger, the proposal will be removed from consideration and the proposer's stake will be given to the challenger.

    Participants in the dispute resolution protocol are expected to review the proposal, this covenant and related past disputes in order to provide a judgement that they feel best aligns with the established norms and intention of the Giveth community.

    Off-chain​

    Decision Making​

    Giveth uses an Advice Process as its primary practice for flat decision making to empower contributors with agency to move their cultural proposals forward. Advice Process is written in the Giveth documentation and promoted verbally in community calls. When a non-financial, no-code decision will likely affect a large part of the community, the use of off-chain voting using polls in the Discord or Forum is implemented. A decision is considered legitimate when it respects this covenant, is promoted to the awareness of the community and its results aren’t challenged within 2 weeks.

    Giveth community spaces, including the Giveth Forum, GitHub and Discord, as well as other off-chain forums that may emerge in the future, are expected to adhere to this covenant.

    Enforcement​

    Giveth intends to use Gravity Conflict Management and make use of its graduated sanctions in order to ensure community standards.

    DAO Structure

    Giveth actively experiments with different organizational structures and governance models. We currently divide our contributors and work done by subDAOs & Chapters. To learn more about specific governance processes, read here

    subDAOs

    The Giveth DAO is divided into smaller subDAOs or Working Groups (WG), each subDAO is responsible for managing it's own budget, goals and contributors, each subDAO also has a leader that carries the flag and ensure all of their contributors work towards not only the goals of the subDAO but also that they serve the Giveth Mission. subDAOs are financially beholden to the DAO in that they must present a budget every 3 months (Seasons) along with the goals they are hoping to achieve by the end of each Season. Budget proposals follow standard giveth Advice Process and subsequent voting on Snapshot.

    SubDAOs are based around different products and programs and can have a wide range of contributors from developers, designers, community managers, marketers, etc.

    Giveth currently has 5 subDAOs in operation, they are:

    You can learn more about each by clicking any of the links above leading to their Working Group Proposal on the Giveth Forum.

    Anyone can propose a new subDAO to Giveth but they must create a proposal following roughly the format of the above proposals and submit it to the Giveth Forum where other community members will comment and eventually vote on the proposal.

    Chapters

    Chapters are groups of contributors who share a skill set or roughly complementary work. The purpose of Chapters is to maintain consistency and cohesion between different skill groups such as designers or developers. Most Chapters have leaders that coordinate tasks and make sure Working Groups get the resources they need to achieve their goals. Chapters do not have explicit proposals or budgets that need to be approved by the DAO since most work done by Chapters are attributed to servicing Working Groups.

    Some Chapters have informal meetings, some have more strict scrum and sprint planning ceremonies, each Chapter's organiation is flexible to the needs and nuances of each skill set it comprises.

    These are the current Chapters in Giveth:

    • Development
    • Design
    • Comms & Marketing
    • Product
    • devOps

    To learn more about Chapters, join the Giveth Discord and introduce yourself!

    Other DAO Stuff

    Giveth also uses other tools like Gnosis Safes and Aragon DAOs that are managed by either certain working groups or specific trusted contributors, as well as the GIVgarden for funding community initiatives.

    Working with Giveth as an External Collaborator

    Hey buidler!

    We are stoked that you are interested in helping us buidl the Future of Giving. This short doc will give you the tips and tricks to work effectively with Giveth.

    If you don’t here are a few ways to get inspired:

    Once you have an idea, contributing to Giveth is as easy as 1-2-3! Here’s what to do:

    1. Create a proposal​

    Anyone is welcome to create a proposal on Giveth’s Forum. Proposals can be very detailed or intentionally broad to get some feedback and polish the details in the advice process. Here is a proposal template to help you rock this step. If you are not that comfortable writing a proposal in the forum yet, you can go to the collab chat channel on Discord to get advice or join the AMA community orientation call (Wednesdays at 10 am CST).

    2. Get signaling and feedback​

    Your proposal must be active in the forum for 5 days for the “advice process”. Signaling for support or specific details on the proposal can be achieved by inserting polls into the proposals. It’s strongly recommended to seek community engagement. To that end, you might consider using the following:

    • Giveth Discord channels
    • GIVernance meeting - where our governance working group discusses active proposals in the forum (Mondays at 9 am CST).

    3. Final decision​

    After the 5-day advice process, the proposal can be updated using the collected feedback & moved to the voting phase. When the proposal doesn’t require a budget, it should be posted and voted on Giveth Snapshot. If funding is necessary it should be posted and voted on in the GIVgarden.

    Don’t forget to post a link to the Snapshot or GIVgarden vote on the original Forum post. To learn more about these voting apps & their requirements, check out our documentation.

    tip
    • Ask for help. Giveth Discord is full of people who want to help!
    • If the proposal requires funding, be clear about how you will use the funds.
    • If you are unfamiliar with Giveth processes or the Giveth Dapp, try to find a champion who can help you understand how to create more value for Giveth (@Cotabe#4096 supports external collaborators).

    Good! Now you know what’s the best way to work with Giveth as an external collaborator, it would be awesome to join us in the journey of Building the Future of Giving.

    Fundraising Campaign Guide with Giveth

    There are many resources and guides on the internet to help you run a successful fundraising campaign but here are some fundamental steps to launching your crypto fundraising campaign with Giveth.

    1. Soft Launch​

    Soft launching means sharing your campaign to a few dedicated supporters or those that have previously fundraised for your cause. Ask them to donate crypto to kickstart your campaign before the official launch to your wider supporter base. People are more likely to donate when they see you’ve received donations. In addition, soft launching your campaign means that you can discover bugs, errors, typos or broken links before sharing far and wide.

    Contact your early supporters (email or 1-1 at this stage) - what feedback do they have? Is the fundraising message clear and exciting? Is there anything they would change?

    Momentum generated in soft launch should carry over when you are ready for your fundraising launch and you will reach your fundraising goal faster.

    2. Your Brand is your Identity​

    ‘Brand’ is important and is anything that identifies your organisation/project, makes it stand-out and memorable. It is more than just a logo, it can be the colours you use, the style of your communications, patterns, photos and videos. There are lots of resources online to help you develop a brand and consistency can help your potential supporters get to know your project/organisation better, build trust and confirm that the campaign belongs to your project. This is especially important as you spread the word about your campaign across different communication channels and social media.

    Show your donors how their support is making a difference in the real world. If possible, explain what could be achieved in relation to specific donation amounts to help donors visualise the impact their donation could make. Consider using powerful and authentic photos of your project in action (remember to get permission from those in the shot and take care not to include faces etc. if you are working with vulnerable people). Use descriptive text to show how donations are being used. Post these as updates on the Giveth platform and share to your communications channels and social media. When donors feel connected to your project, they donate more and spread awareness of your cause.

    4. Campaign Video​

    Make a campaign video. There are numerous resources out there providing tips and tricks for making a successful campaign video. People who watch a nonprofit’s video are more likely to make a donation. Videos bring your organisation/project to life in a way that potential donors can understand and relate to, and are a powerful way to ask for donations. Once you have your video, don’t forget to post it on Giveth and share through all your communication channels and social media.

    Some ideas for your video: record your team in action or through interviews, feature stories that show the impact of the work you do or interview supporters. Seize opportunities to show people how they can get involved. Videos really are one of the most powerful ways to connect to donors through your media channels

    5. Celebrate Success​

    Establish milestones and tell everyone about it when you achieve them. It’s really important! Celebrating milestones maintains momentum for your fundraiser. Showcase your creative ideas and fundraising successes to keep your community engaged and inspired to reach the next big goal. You cannot talk about your fundraiser too much or overshare your successes on social media.

    Consider setting smaller, incremental goals that are achievable to celebrate together along the way. As you hit each goal, post on all your channels and send milestone emails to your community and team.

    6. ‘Verification’ Badge​

    If your project is for Public Good (see our standard of what Public Goods means), we recommend that you get verified on Giveth platform. Applying for project ‘verification’ through Giveth gives your project extra credibility and rewards your donors with ‘GIVbacks’ (donors receive a portion of the dollar value of their donations back in GIV tokens, streamed over time). The more a donor gives the more they receive in GIVback rewards. Check out the resource about GIVbacks.

    7. Social Media​

    Having an active Twitter account and growing your following through Twitter helps attract crypto donors.

    Here are some ideas for messages to share with your supporters and donors.

    Social media message ideas@​

    • Zero fees - maximising your donation!
    • Low gas with most tokens
    • Transparency! Traceability

    For verified projects​

    • Give and get GIV
    • Keep Giving and make change
    • Your giving gives back

    • Giveth - where the giving gives back
    • Giveth - where the giving GIVs back
    • GIVbacks give rights! - have your say in governance

    8. Stewardship plan​

    Stewardship is important to donors - it’s a way of showing that your organisation / project is using donors’ funds within your project, as intended. It includes thanking donors, progress updates and showing their gifts ‘in action’. Consider how best to thank donors: direct contact, an update on your Giveth profile, tweet about their contribution and what it does etc.

    You will begin to build a relationship with donors, keep them engaged and involved with your project/organisation, which may result in further donations or at least, continued support and sharing the news about your cause.

    9. Gift acceptance policy​

    Your organisation may or may not have some kind of gift acceptance policy or a guide that outlines the types of gifts your organisation/project can accept and treatment of those gifts once received. You should consider how you will use your crypto donations when received and create a plan and revise your gift acceptance policy (tip and example from every.org). Things to consider:

    • Offramping: when and how
    • Centralised vs decentralised exchange
    • Wallet ownership
    • Treatment of volatile vs stable coins

    10. Value Proposition​

    Your value proposition on Giveth is a simple and clear description on your project page that tells your supporters and donors why they should support your organisation or project. What sets you apart from other organisations and makes you stand out from the crowd? The value proposition of your organization needs to be front and center of your messaging and should answer the following question: “Why should a donor give to you (and not any other organisation) now?”

    ‘Call to Action’​

    • Your Giveth profile should have a call to action: ie ‘donate now to help’, ‘make a difference now by…’. It is very important to ask for action in your messaging (what can the donors do now?)
    • Segment your audience starting with those closest to you, who are they?: family, friends, existing donors, event attendees (who provided contact information) etc
    • And send them a personal message with call to action (donate on Giveth) as part of the soft launch, discussed earlier

    11. New Donors​

    Have a strategy to attract new donors, who are they? Where will you find them? How will you reach them? Newsletters, Tweets, events, podcasts, interviews, videos etc.

    12. Promotion through Giveth Community​

    Gain extra project exposure and campaign promotion through Giveth community:

    • Join the weekly Giveth community call and showcase your project in the ‘Community Spotlight’ Present
    • Showcase your project through Giveth events like “Meet the Makers”
    • Tweet your project and gain extra exposure with amplification and shares through Giveth Community

    Don’t forget to include these hashtags: #futureofgiving #giveth when posting about your Giveth fundraiser.

    Project Fundraising Checklist​

    • Talk to friends and existing supporters of your project’s fundraising goals and Giveth platform and ask them to spread the word
    • Have a twitter account, if not, create one
    • Tweet about your Giveth profile when it’s created and when it’s verified (if applicable)
    • Post on other social media accounts where your donors can be reached about your Giveth profile
    • Email message to your existing supporters and make sure to include a call to action and a link to your Giveth profile
    • Create messaging regarding accepting crypto either in your Gift Acceptance Policy or for your board and supporters
    • Create a thank-you message for donors who you are able to reach once they donate
    • Have a timeline on project milestones when you can report and celebrate your project or fundraising success

    Governance Process

    Giveth Governance benefits from a robust design and utilizes several platforms to aggregrate and foster advice, consensus, signalling, voting and all the other wonderful actions enabled by Web3 decision-making systems.

    We can divide governance participants into three categories based on their possible actions and the platforms they can use to participate. They are GIV token holders, rDAO members, and the greater community (or simply, the community).

    (Or skip to the TL;DR)​

    The Community​

    Being part of the community has no requirements. If you know about Giveth and want to get engaged then we welcome you openly with our highest of vibes and spiciest of memes.

    The best place for formal conversations around Giveth take place on our Discourse forum. Our forum invites a wide variety of topics for anyone to introduce in-depth discussion, however more importantly, this is the quintessential launchpad where any legitimate governance proposal must start from.

    Anyone in the community can create a proposal, however there are some considerations to make:

    • Proposals ideally have a clearly defined intention that outlines actions to be taken, potential consequences and funds requested (if applicable).
    • We adhere to a Community Covenant which is our main reference point for any disputes or contentions.
    • We use Advice Process to gather feedback and refine proposals.
    • Proposals must remain on the forum, open for Advice Process, for a minimum of 5 days.

    If all conditions have been met, including time requirements for Advice Process, proposals can move on into either the GIVgarden or the rDAO DApps for voting. In order to participate in these DApps you must hold either GIV or nrGIV, respectively. All Giveth Governance DApps are deployed on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network).

    If a proposal desires to skip or shorten the Advice Process, in the case of financial urgency for example, they may do so while providing a written disclaimer and a reason for doing so on their proposal. Skipping or shortening the Advice Process decreases the chances of a proposal passing, do so with great discretion!

    note

    Soft-Consensus​

    We often use polls inside the forum or on Discord to get soft-consensus for preferred outcomes. It's acceptable to use these same methods for informal or low-impact decisions. However, for formal proposals they must indicate a clear intended outcome to keep objectives as clear as possible. The on-chain voting systems we use do not support multiple-choice voting.*

    GIV Token Holder​

    GIV token holders can get involved in decision making via the GIVgarden. It leverages Conviction Voting and Tao Voting systems to allow GIV token holders to create, signal and vote on proposals using their GIV tokens. Decisions made in here revolve around community funding requests and suggestions as well as any metagovernance modifications. To learn more visit our documentation regarding the GIVgarden.

    Snapshot Voting​

    Snapshot allows all of a users GIV holdings, including GIV staked in GIVfarms or the GIVgarden to be counted and calculated towards their total voting power used on the Giveth Snapshot Snapshot is gasless and chain-agnostic and is a magnificient tool to capture community sentiment on proposals and issues that do not directly request funds from Giveth.

    Giveth has whitelisted three types of votes that can be used for proposals on Snapshot: Basic Voting, Single Choice Voting and Ranked Choice Voting. Any other types of voting methods are considered invalid at this time.

    Single Choice Voting OR Basic Voting​

    This is a simple Single choice voting strategy. You'll have a range of options and you can only pick one. In Basic Voting you'll be able to choose between For (Yes), Against (No) or Abstain (Undecided/No Opinion).

    A single choice or YES option needs to receive 88% support in order to pass. To arrive at the YES % we remove the abstain votes and divide the YES votes against the total amount of YES and NO votes.

    Our Quorum is the total amount of GIV tokens that need to particiapte in a vote in order for it to be considered valid. The Quorum will be set to 1 Million GIV

    Ranked Choice Voting​

    This voting method allows you to select multiple options, signalling your most preferred outcome and then your 2nd favourite option, 3rd, 4th and so on.. (depending on how many options there are)

    There are no required support percentages for Ranked Choice voting. Snapshot will calculate which option received the most support and we will choose the top result as the winner.

    Quorum, will be set to 1 Million GIV.

    Tokenlog​

    Tokenlog is a voting tool for token-weighted backlog planning. Giveth uses it for decentralized roadmap planning and allows GIV holders to have a say in what Giveth prioritizes building. Features, improvements and core roadmap items for Giveth and it's products are captured in github issues and can be voted on using the Tokenlog interface. New ideas and proposals are reviewed by our product managers, if they make sense and align with Giveth's values they will be added to the Tokenlog for voting.

    Currently your Tokenlog voting power is calculated from your address' GIV and wrapped GIV (gGIV) balances on Gnosis Chain. Your voting power is calculated from the sum of both aforementioned token balances where one token is equal to one vote.

    You can access the Giveth Tokenlog here. If you have an idea for a feature or improvement for Giveth you can jump into our discord or drop your idea on the forum.

    nrGIV Token Holder​

    This is a form of executive council held for trusted Giveth contributors. nrGIV DAO members hold nrGIV and use an Aragon DAO deployment to create and vote on proposals using simple Yes/No voting mechanics. Only nrGIV holders can vote or make proposals. Proposals will remain open for voting for 5 days and must adhere to the Quorum and Support Required percentages or else it will fail.

    In order to get nrGIV you must be a regular contributor to Giveth for at least 3 months and have an approved role proposal. If you're an eligible contributor and it's your first time, then you must request a current nrGIV holder to propose minting nrGIV tokens for you on your behalf, only during the quarterly minting periods. Forum posts will be made for each quarterly distribution and will be announced on our weekly Governance and Community calls.

    Role Proposals​

    Role proposals are our way of keeping everyone in touch with what are the roles each contributor is filling. This takes the form of a document and a short description in a topic posted on our forum, which is then left open for comment and approval via advice process. Only contributors who have finished their trial period can move to create a role proposal. Once passed advice process, it is put up as a vote for on the nrGIV DAO for on-chain voting; if the vote passes, you're in as an official Giveth regular contributor!

    If you have a work agreement and work casually for Giveth, usually there is no explicit need to go through the entire role proposal process. However if you record 30 or over hours monthly for 3 consecutive months then it is required for you to create a role proposal in order to continue to be paid by the Giveth DAO.

    info

    When the first tokens are minted for a quarterly nrGIV distribution, all eligible contributors have 1 month from that date to request tokens. After this period the round is closed and no more token requests will be accepted for this period. Eligible contributors will still be able to request tokens for the next token distribution.

    Learn how to become a contributor (and get nrGIV) in our Giveth Basics document.

    Informal Decisions​

    Not all decisions require formal on-chain votes. There is room for making low-impact, agile decisions via a range of platforms that Giveth's community utilizes. For the most clarity we refer to the Covenant's section on off-chain decision making:

    Giveth uses Advice Process as its primary practice for flat decision making to empower contributors with agency to move their cultural proposals forward. Advice Process is written in the Giveth documentation and promoted verbally in community calls. When a non-financial, no-code decision will likely affect a large part of the community, the use of off-chain voting using polls in the Discord or Forum is implemented. A decision is considered legitimate when it respects this covenant, is promoted to the awareness of the community and its results aren’t challenged within 2 weeks.

    Giveth community spaces, including the Giveth Forum, GitHub and Discord, as well as other off-chain forums that may emerge in the future, are expected to adhere to this covenant.

    TL;DR​

    1. Make a proposal on the Giveth forum.
      • Allow a minimum of 5 days for advice process.
    2. Create a proposal in the DApp for on-chain voting; this should link to your forum proposal.
      • GIVgardens for GIV token holders requesting funds
      • Snapshot for GIV token holders regarding issues or proposals not directly requesting funds
      • rDAO for nrGIV token holders
    3. Wait for results.
    4. Execute required actions.

    The History of Giveth

    Giveth has a rich history, from humble beginnings to grand visions, building the Future of Giving. Here we share our story in hopes of inspiring other communities that want to work in a decentralized way.

    2016​

    In the second half of 2016, Giveth is founded by Griff Green, Jordi Baylina and a couple of other members of the White Hat Group. They wrote the MiniMe Token contract, Vault contract and MilestoneTracker contract. Near the end of the year Vojtech Simetka and Grace Torrellas join to round out the team and the Giveth Slack is created.

    2017​

    Q1​

    A first project website is published under https://giveth.io

    Q2​

    A first version of the Donation Application (DApp) is launched on the Ethereum mainnet.

    June​

    Meeting of core contributors in Berlin to talk about the concept and vision behind Giveth.

    July​

    On July 19, the White Hat Group was finishing up a Giveth Product meeting when they heard that a hacker had stolen the equivalent of $32 million of ETH by breaching a wallet. The Giveth Devs immediately began protecting 500 susceptible wallets by taking advantage of the same vulnerabilities and emptying the wallets’ cryptocurrency before the other hacker could.

    In the only first account, they rescued a staggering 47,000 ETH! They went on to empty each of the 500 vulnerable wallets, siphoning the funds into a secure Giveth account. The Giveth team maintained transparency via Reddit so the wallet owners knew they would see their funds again.

    By July 31, the Giveth team had created new, secure wallets for each of these accounts, and gave access back to their rightful owners. At the time, they rescued over $208 million worth of crypto, and stated they would not be accepting any donations for their work.

    Team meeting in Barcelona to set a governance structure for team organization and to talk about the Giveth culture and the technology that has to be built.

    The Giveth team declares itself to be a Decentralized Altruistic Community of Unicorns finding their way to #maketheworldabetterplace.

    August​

    The team decides to be organized in a holacratic way. Circles are created and governance meetings are held every week.

    The Reward DAO (a system to reward contributors for their work) is reworked and given stronger focus.

    The Dev Team lays the groundwork for the new Giveth DApp in architecture and re-organization of code.

    September​

    Team meeting in Barcelona is held to organize and align the team efforts for Devcon3, where we want to present the DApp to the Ethereum developers community.

    Reorganization of roles and Circles commences and the resulting structures are getting clearer. This is still an experiment; the team is not yet at the “end” of its exploration.

    October​

    Preparation for Devcon 3. The team concentrates on organizing and preparing for the event, every Circle is contributing in its own way and the team is making a big effort.

    Governance meetings are maintained, the general structure of Holacracy is working well.

    Giveth introduces it’s new logo to the world.

    November​

    Devcon 3 - The team is doing an amazing job representing and promoting Giveth at Devcon. The effort is amazing and inspiring. We feel the full transcendence of every single team member and the Giveth DAC radiates as the sum of our parts align.

    Discussions about Governance structure, projects, and budgeting that had been initiated before Devcon are discussed in the aftermath of the conference. A consolidation and reduction of roles is considered.

    December​

    A reduction of roles occurs - especially of those requiring regular rewards. The team is still in the process of finding the right way to organize themselves. For now the team is organized in four Circles:

    • Governance (modeling the DAC, organization & administration of the team, Reward DAO)
    • Communications (for the external communications of Giveth)
    • Dapp Development (all aspects concerning the Giveth DApp and its integration with the Ethereum blockchain)
    • Social Coding (as a laboratory for open source culture, tool and infrastructure-focused software development)

    Due to the new budget, certain people have to change their roles within the team. Governance meetings are ongoing and holacracy is still the preferred organizational structure. The team's effort as a decentralized community is ongoing. In finding what works best, we realize it takes a whole lot of adaptability and trust when structures are in a constant flux (in our case established through familiarity between members). It takes bravery to look upon emerging technologies and dive in, looking for consensus. Alas, this is the nature of an exploratory venture.

    2018​

    January​

    The Flagship Giveth DApp is released at the height of the Ethereum bullrun - which unfortunately means the system we built is not affordable anymore for those seeking funding. At the time of release, the gas fees rise to a point where starting a campaign costs around USD 80 in gas fees.

    Therefore Giveth becomes one of the first DApps trying out new approaches. Because no really usable sidechains exist at this point, we decide to try an experiment: to let most interactions occur on the Rinkeby testnet and bridge them to the Ethereum mainnet.

    February​

    Some members meet up in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to stay and hack together.

    Inspired by Truebits "Merry Merkle" a small, easily forkable donation app is deployed - the "Donation Leaderboard".

    Edu realizes a portal to record contributions as videos, called the "Wall of Fame".

    March​

    Although the market entered a bear phase, gas cost remains high enough for us to be prompted to organize an initiative around scaling Ethereum mainnet. We invite the most promising teams in Ethereum to meet up and talk about different ways to increase transaction throughout and reduce fees for users. The mini-conference is called "Scaling Now" and takes places over two days, featuring workshops and speakers from projects such as: Aragon, Status, Web3 Foundation, POA Network, TrueBit, Swarm City, Cryptokitties, Spankchain and many more.

    We meet an enthusiastic young engineer who calls himself Dapplion. He will become one of the driving forces of the DAppNode project.

    May​

    Giveth participates in Edcon’s Super Demo in Toronto and wins first place!

    June​

    Another, smaller scale, meetup follows. We discuss many internal things and try to resolve differences about the direction Giveth wants to take going forward.

    DAppNode is being split off the core Giveth team as a separate team with Edu leading development, Dapplion coding full stack and Jordi as a guardian angel and first product owner.

    After thoroughly testing and deploying the bridge solution, Giveth officially (but quite silently) moves the entire platform to the beta environment.

    July​

    A collaboration with Aragon begins (which will be short lived) and is a great learning experience for both teams involved.

    August​

    Camp Decentral is erected at Burning Man, Black Rock City - giving talks about crypto, blockchain and digital sovereignty all week.

    October​

    Devcon 4, the Ethereum developers conference, is coming to Prague and Giveth is present again with a huge delegation. Many new and old acquaintances are made and important connections within the blockchain space are formed. A blockchain enthusiast called Willy is handed a T-shirt by Lorelei and Dani - this is actually a significant event as demonstrated later in our history.

    2019​

    January/February​

    We meet up at our headquarters in Barcelona because it is time to move to a bigger place! Together we empty the big apartment and move to a huge inner city house that is still known and operated as the Giveth House. To this day it stands as a place open to all friends of Giveth.

    April​

    A delegation from Giveth and other friendly Devs tramp to the biggest hackathon in the world (they claim) - ODYSSEY in Groningen, NL - to hack together on some core concepts of the newly imagined "Commons Stack".

    June​

    The Giveth team has a big meeting at their new headquarters in Barcelona. We spend almost a week reshaping roles and goals for Giveth. The agenda is seemingly endless and we touch on all the points that are important to us: the DAO, the DApp and how we want to shape the future of Giveth and the Commons Stack.

    July​

    The crypto bear market takes its toll. It has become more and more quiet with the Giveth team as funding continues to be scarce. The decision is made to continue in "maintenance mode" - essentially quitting all of Giveth's non-essential operations. Feature development on the DApp is halted and Comms Circle goes into submarine mode, emerging only to sparsely tweet from time to time.

    Winter​

    Amin - a contributor to the DApp who surfaced through Gitcoin is starting to "freshen up" the DApp little by little.

    2020​

    February​

    Griff attends EthDenver 2020 as a judge where he meets Willy who, together with a couple of friends, realize their own donation platform during the hackathon. Their app is called "Coz" (Cause) and wins the "Impact Track". Full of enthusiasm, Griff captures the crew with the idea to build a new DApp - a new Giveth together with the Coz team.

    July​

    The pace is picking up again. The first design phases for "Giveth 2" (later called Giveth.io) are finished by Marko.

    Some old team members flock back to the mother goose to work on developing the new DApp (Giveth.io). Organizational patterns are re-introduced and more people are sought after to grow the team again.

    December​

    Amin was able to make the original Giveth DApp (now Giveth TRACE) beautiful, functional and stable within the last year. He now assembles a team of rockstars to help him make it even better. Two distinct teams form to work on the two distinct DApps.

    Dani brings in a bunch of enthusiastic people to build out the Community and Communications Circles. Giveth is now in "full swing" again.

    2021​

    February​

    Hiring spree on full time contributors. The Costa Rica Team emerges, significantly improving community outreach, communications and the organizational fabric of Giveth.

    March​

    “Giveth 2” officially launches with the name Giveth.io. Boasting a simple UX, easy project creation and peer-to-peer donations with functionality on both Mainnet and xDai network.

    Amin’s team of developers become a force to be reckoned with, dubbed the Middle East team. Their main focus is still, at this time, to take the original Giveth DApp (now called “Giveth TRACE”) to the finish line and launch it out of beta.

    April​

    Work begins in earnest on the next big Giveth project, rumours emerge about designing an “Economy of Giving”....

    June​

    The Costa Rica team meets Griff face-to-face and there is a gathering of Giveth minds to revamp the Giveth Vision, Values and Roadmap. The Middle East team meets in person across the puddle and the two groups connect over the web.

    July​

    The OG Giveth DApp from 2017 officially launches, with tremendous contributions from the Middle East Team. The flagship DApp sheds the husk of “beta” taking its final form as Giveth TRACE.

    Another localized gathering of Givethers occurs at EthCC[4] in Paris. It’s a special moment for Giveth and the Ethereum community, having been the first large gathering since the beginning of the pandemic.

    Griff drops the bomb at The DAOist conference, also in Paris, announcing the GIVeconomy to the unsuspecting attendees and subsequently broadcasted to the world at large. The plot thickens.

    August​

    Integration begins on the technical level between Giveth.io and Giveth TRACE, both teams of developers begin merging into one.

    What is Giveth?

    Giveth is building a culture and economy that rewards and empowers those who give. Our goal is to use web3 to radically transform how public goods are funded by helping nonprofits evolve out of systems that depend on sacrifice into ones that create win-win situations for everyone involved. Beginning with a free and direct crypto donation platform on Ethereum, we onboard for-good projects and support them so that they can eventually blossom into DAOs with their own regenerative economies, with Giveth itself becoming an impact investment hub for public goods.

    Currently with its fundraising platform, Giveth rewards donors directly through the GIVbacks program with GIV, which they can then stake to support projects and earn returns via GIVpower. Other recent and forthcoming radical innovations can be seen in the Giveth Roadmap below. Also visit our calendar for meeting times and Join Page to get more involved.

    Our Mission​

    To build a culture of giving that rewards and empowers those who give - to projects, to society, and to the world.

    Our Vision​

    Giving is effortless, and people all around the world are rewarded for creating positive change.

    Our Values​

    Giveth encourages decentralization:

    • Giveth offers innovative open-source solutions built on blockchain technology, which is inherently decentralized.
    • Giveth is pioneering and experimenting with decentralized governance and communication techniques and supporting their adoption by other communities.

    Giveth promotes Altruism:

    • Giveth is an open, non-hierarchical global initiative empowering social, environmental, and humanistic impact projects with modern technologies.
    • Giveth supports many like-minded initiatives that are adding value to the world without necessarily having a direct profit motive.
    • Giveth is building a self-sustaining giving economy that encourages and rewards altruistic intention.

    Giveth believes in the power of Community:

    • Giveth is an inclusive community united around a common goal.
    • Giveth is a community-owned platform, building and developing our DApps based on feedback from our members.
    • Giveth enables trust within communities by increasing transparency and accountability through blockchain technology.
    • Giveth proactively reaches out to similar initiatives which we see as potential collaborators, as opposed to competitors.

    Our Roadmap​

    Giveth supports for-good projects and public goods in a myriad of capacities, one only needs to look at our token economy (GIVeconomy) roadmap features:

    GIV - A transferable ERC-20 token that lies at the heart of the Future of Giving.

    GIVbacks - A donors rewards program that is the first step in the ambitious GIVeconomy leading projects to become regen economies. The GIVbacks program allows donors who contribute to verified projects to receive GIV in return. This feature flips the script on the concept of the tax deductible donation, creating a decentralized and borderless way of incentivizing donations. (LAUNCHED ✅ )

    GIVgarden - A voting platform built by 1Hive where GIV token holders are able to propose and vote on how to use the Giveth community treasury, including funding external builders, sponsorships and public goods. (LAUNCHED ✅ )

    GIVpower - A staking mechanism where donors can lock their GIV tokens for GIVpower and use them to boost and curate fundraising projects on the Giveth.io platform. Projects with more GIVpower are ranked higher and in turn, their donors are rewarded with more GIVbacks. (LAUNCHED ✅ )

    Quadratic Funding - A matching program where top-ranked public goods and for-good projects on the Giveth.io fundraising platform will have the opportunity to have their donations matched via a collectively funded matching pool using Quadratic Funding. (LAUNCHED ✅ )

    GIVfi - A smart contract system for generating yield on idle donations. Utilizing unclaimed donations, Giveth earns a yield through low-risk yield bearing strategies. Projects are able to claim 100% of their donation, while the yield earned goes to funding the DAO and buying back GIV. (TBA)

    GURVES - Bonding curves collateralized by GIV that projects on Giveth can launch to evolve into DAOs with their own micro-economies. Gurves enable donors to invest GIV into their favorite projects and provide upside potential for entrepreneurs in the public goods space. Donors become investors, volunteers become shareholders with a voice, and Giveth becomes the Schelling point for impact investments. (TBA)

    Community

    COMMUNITY… has always been the foundation of Giveth, the sum of all parts.

    COMMUNICATION… is the glue that holds these parts together.

    COMMONS… is the publicly accessible resources that are shared, cultivated and managed together.

    Welcome to the Giveth Community Circle!​

    This circle is held down by the Communications team yet comprised of representatives from the other two Circles, as well as various working groups that may form. Here is where new contributors, project owners, campaign managers, collaborators, conspirateurs, catalysts and really all the cool cats come to play, learn, give and grow.

    Mission​

    Our mission is to be the living and breathing core of Giveth, an ecosystem of collective support, abundance and communication where we cultivate relationships and assist innovative projects with a focus on blockchain4good. We connect Givers and Makers with the Giveth Community through transparent, intentionally crafted and clearly communicated stories and resources.

    Goals​

    • Build Community around For-Good Projects by nourishing relations between Givers, Makers and the greater community through meaningful engagement, outreach, trust facilitation and conflict resolution - creating a safe space for community members to communicate their passion projects, then recruit help or guidance from peers.
    • Offer a Clear & Supportive Onboarding Process as Giveth develops the Dapps, economy, DAO and ongoing new features. The community circle provides a well-defined, transparent and helpful onboarding process that supports the needs of Contributors, Communities, Campaigns, Projects and Donors as well as functions as a bridge for newcomers into the crypto space.
    • Coordinate External and Internal Communications when broadcasting or sharing activity and development progress externally through the Giveth channels and social media - ensuring that the voice of Giveth as an organization is aligned with our overarching Values, Vision, Mission and Goals and that all Giveth Circles are represented.
    • Create a Network of Partners by way of collaboration, relationship building and support of common goals with various strategic partner organizations as well as community members focused on blockchain4good and improving the ethereum commons - providing resources, education and sharing of best practices. Partners currently include communities like Commons Stack, TEC, DAppNode, BrightID, 1Hive, Panvala, GitCoin and MetaGame.

    GIVernance

    GIVE… to the causes, projects and actions you care about.

    GET… the tokens that give back to those who are GIVing forward for positive change.

    GOVERN… project curation, product development and a new economy based on altruism.

    Welcome to the GIVernance Circle!​

    Giveth aims to be a donor-focused organization that GIVs back to those who use our platform to transparently and accountably support change in the world.

    We value transparent, holistic governance and hope to be a shining example of it. We explore and readily adopt new innovations that support us in embodying these values. We believe in the self-organizing power of sociocracy, which we apply in the organization of tasks, participation in the Proposal and Advice Process, and facilitation of our governance meetings.

    Our circle is uniting the power of our Decentralized Autonomous Community (DAC) with the non-profit advantages of our Donor Advised Foundation (DAF) to iterate upon the creation of our governing Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).

    Mission​

    We are progressively decentralizing the Giveth decision-making process by building a community and a token-based economy around our platform that recognizes contributions, values participation and rewards altruism.

    Goals​

    • Demonstrate Fiscal Accountability by responsibly provisioning funds and skills toward team structure, conflict resolution, administration, financial transparency, organization of team gatherings and quality assurance. Meet the resource needs of the Giveth community, platform and economy.
    • Innovate Internal Governance through experimenting with and documenting decentralized governance systems within the Giveth DAO structure (e.g. Sociocracy, RewardDAO, Conviction Voting, SourceCred, etc.) that could prove useful for future Decentralized Autonomous Organizations to learn from and implement their own versions.
    • Collaborate with the Ethereum Ecosystem to develop collaborative tools that generate mutual benefit and success by partnering with and participating in the governance of other mission-aligned organizations such as: Commons Stack, Token Engineering Commons, DAppNode, BrightID, 1Hive, GitCoin and MetaGame.
    • Create Regenerative Value that nurtures and grows the Giveth Token Economy (GIVeconomy) by empowering individuals toward inclusive decentralized decision making with outcomes that have real impact on the organization and positive change in the world when cascaded through our listed projects.

    Welcome to the Giveth Platform Circle!​

    The Giveth Platform Circle is the terminal for designers, developers, testers, systems engineers and product managers alike, and is where the Future of Giving is being built. We collaborate with the Community Circle to get feedback from our users and design experiences that make it easy for people to create, give, receive and trace.

    The Platform Circle, while building high-quality products, proclaims success by encouraging its members to learn, grow, collaborate and celebrate achievement together. By building workflows that are inclusive, transparent and well-structured, we thereby build strong teams of talented and inspired contributors.

    Mission​

    To empower our contributors with the knowledge and resources to build and maintain platforms that bridge communities, meet user needs and advance blockchain technology.

    Goals​

    • Develop Digital Public Goods that serve as open-source, efficient and free platforms that bridge Givers and project owners, harnessing the revolutionary funding opportunities of digital currencies.
    • Product Development and Maintenance that empowers contributors to research emerging technology and implement best practices to create robust, stable, secure and scalable platforms.
    • Improve User Experience, Usability and Accessibility of Blockchain Technology by engineering and continually creating intuitive interfaces and powerful user experiences to make donating easy, rewarding and effective.
    • Build DApps by and for the Community by implementing user feedback to create products that meet their needs and maintain a high level of transparency to support a network of value-aligned projects.

    Our Products​

    • Giveth.io - Boasting a streamlined UI and an easy user experience, it offers direct peer-to-peer giving. Giveth.io grants anyone the ability to create projects and receive funding in minutes.

    • GIVeconomy - An economy that supports projects that create value for society and encourages on-the-ground change-makers to enter web3. An economy that empowers and rewards donors for giving. And, fundamentally, an economy that is owned and governed by those who give.

    • Giveth TRACE - Our original DApp, has a larger scope - offering enhanced complexity and traceability for projects. It also allows users to specify and track their donations. Giveth TRACE has officially been deprecated in Q3 of 2022.

    Governance of Meetings

    If you are looking for more notes on past Giveth DAC/Community Meetings, you can find this here.

    Meeting Types & Intentions​

    Giveth aims to operate meetings that are efficient, connective, fair, transparent and heart-centered. We do this by honoring time and agreements that the collective has agreed to. Some meetings like our weekly Sunday Community Call are intended to deliver updates and highlights so that all circles can understand the latest and greatest of one another, and be in alignment. In our Community Call, the time is not to brainstorm ideas or make decisions but rather to share updates.

    Other meetings, like our weekly Monday Governance Call aka GIVernance, are intended to present proposals and field objections or feed-forward from the group. Besides these larger, recurring group meetings, Contributors can schedule 1 on 1 or small group work sessions to bring a specific task through to completion. These meetings gather necessary participants to focus on a goal and drive it home.

    Meeting Roles​

    There are specific roles to be filled. In general, we use roles to avoid things getting personal. For instance, it is not that Griff is interrupting Dani, but rather that the Facilitator is making sure the Smart Contract Reporter respects the meeting's process.

    The Facilitator​

    The Facilitator needs to stay curious and calm. They make sure the meeting process is RESPECTED at all costs, like a referee. The Facilitator is encouraged to interrupt when people are getting off topic and is discouraged from making extra commentary or from coaching. It is very important that the Facilitator stay neutral.

    The Facilitator holds the space so that people can process their tension on their own and react as they need to express themselves freely in a safe, controlled environment.

    The Note Taker​

    Note taking is important because it allows us to capture meeting highlights in a clear, organized way and store them in Notion, our shared transparent tool. The Facilitator can also be the Note Taker for smaller meetings, but in general it is best if they are 2 different people.

    The most important task is to record the agenda items. Everything else recorded is bonus :-D. The Note Taker has the responsibility the go to the person when there is a conflict interpreting the results of the meeting.

    After the meeting, the Note Taker will share a link to the meeting notes in the #meetingnotes Discord channel.

    The Livestream Recorder​

    The Livestream Recorder is in charge of recording and publishing the audio/video recording of the meeting in the Giveth Transparency YouTube channel. In order to properly fulfill this responsibility, it is important that the Livestream Recorder be on time and present for the duration for all meetings that they are responsible for recording to ensure everything is being captured and shared transparently.

    The Proposer​

    The Proposer is the person who put a tension on the agenda for the group to discuss. A 'tension' is languaging commonly used in sociocracy and holacracy. When someone has an objection, it's an issue, or tension, that needs to be processed - usually by way of creating or adapting the proposal until the tension is alleviated and the proposal/solution can be passed.

    It is the Proposer's responsibility to propose a solution to the tension and it is their responsibility to make sure that their solution will alleviate the tension. It is NOT their responsibility to solve other people's problems. One tension at a time.

    Don't feel pressured to solve other people's problems with your solution. Everyone is an adult and we need everyone to take care of themselves. That starts with you taking care of your responsibilities. You do not have to take any of the feedback you received.

    The Reactors​

    The Reactors are everyone who is not the Proposer during the decision making process. They are encouraged to freely react however they want during the reaction round.

    The Objector​

    The Objector needs to stay curious and calm. They are anyone who believes the proposed solution to the Proposer's tension would cause harm or move Giveth backwards. If they have a simple concern about the proposal or think something should be added to the proposal but don't believe the proposal would concretely cause harm or move Giveth backwards, then it is not a valid objection and it should be ruled as an invalid objection by the Facilitator.

    Sample Meeting Flow​

    A Facilitator and a Note Taker for the meeting should have been chosen ahead of time and once everyone is at the meeting, the meeting can begin.

    For our GIVernance Call specifically, we follow many of the sociocratic principles. This meeting is structured following the example of governance meetings in sociocracy.

    The purpose of a governance meeting is to:

    • Create, remove or modify the Roles of the Circle
    • Create, remove or modify the Policies of the Circle
    • Elect people to the core roles of the Circle

    Now we will walk through a sample meeting flow and governance process:

    1. Optional Centering​

    The Facilitator may choose to begin the meeting by leading the group through a centering practice to ground everyone's energy and tune into the same frequency. This may look like breathwork, a short meditation or visualization, sharing an inspirational quote or a combo platter.

    2. Check in​

    Everyone voices what is most alive for them, reveals any momentary personal distractions and states a 30 second or less intention for the meeting. One person speaks at a time. This is not a time for responses or discussion.

    3. Facilitator States Meeting Logistics​

    A simple space to triage any administrative and logistical issues to take into account for the meeting. E.g., We have 2 hours for the meeting; Jen needs to leave early; this meeting is being live streamed and has 25 viewers so far; we'll be bringing lunch at 1pm; etc.

    4. Building the Agenda​

    The Faciliator introduces the pre-prepared meeting agenda and then opens the space for additional agenda requests before diving in. Agenda items may be submit ahead of time via Discord, previous meeting discussion and/or curated by the Meeting Facilitator.

    The goal is to build an agenda of tensions, or topics, to process. There is no specific order and anyone can add items to the agenda. The Note Taker captures the agenda items for everyone. The Facilitator will determine the order these agenda items are processed.

    5. Process each agenda item with the Integrative Decision Making process​

    The Facilitator encourages everyone to take notes and determines the order these agenda items are processed on the fly.

    Present Proposal​

    Either the Meeting Facilitator shares the update/highlight with the group -or- the Proposer describes the tension and in one sentence makes a proposal to resolve it. The proposal should in general be a creation of a circle, role or policy. Only the proposer speaks during this time.

    Clarifying Questions​

    All the meeting participants may ask clarifying questions about the tension or proposal to ensure they have a good understanding. The Proposer then has a chance to respond to questions. This is not a space for back and forth discussion.

    It's NOT allowed to use clarifying questions to give an opinion about the proposal. Opinions, suggestions, reactions... all should be left for the Reaction Round coming next. The Facilitator will cut off any question that's conveying an opinion or isn't intended to better understand the proposal. There is no hard line between clarifying question and reaction, and it's at the Facilitator's discretion to discern between the two.

    Reactions​

    One at a time, each person reacts to the proposal as they see fit. No response or interruption is allowed during someone's reaction. Any type of reaction is welcome, from intellectual critiques to emotional outbursts. The only caveat is that reactions should not be engaging someone in particular. Everyone reacts except the Proposer.

    Reactions are the only step of the governance meeting when people can speak freely. It's a perfect phase for providing different perspectives and suggesting improvements to the proposal, so that the Proposer can integrate those changes if he or she likes them.

    This is the dangerous part of this meeting if people want to keep talking and talking… that is ok, and HAS to be allowed. This could make these meetings long.

    Amend & Clarify​

    After all reactions are complete, the Proposer can optionally clarify the intent of the proposal, or amend it based on the reactions. Only the proposer speaks; no discussion allowed.

    Although the proposer can modify the proposal however they want, the goal is for the Proposer to amend their proposal if they found a better way to address their tension. It's not his or her job to address all the concerns and reactions heard during the reaction round, or even to make improvements that were suggested by other participants.

    Watch out for proposal creep.

    Objection Round​

    One at a time, the Facilitator asks each participant if they see "any reason why adopting this proposal would cause harm or move Giveth backwards." The proposer also gets the opportunity to raise an objection. Objections are stated, tested and captured without discussion. One person may have several objections, and everyone's objections must be captured before we move to the next step.

    If there is no objection, the proposal is adopted and we move to the next agenda item.

    The Facilitator will need to test the objection occasionally to determine if the objection is valid or to help the Objector clarify the objection. To test, there are 3 questions to ask:

    • How do you believe adopting this proposal would cause harm or move Giveth backwards?
    • Does this objection still exist if this proposal wasn't implemented?
    • Is the proposal good enough for now and safe enough to try, knowing we can readdress this later if problems arise?
    Integration​

    If one or several Objections were raised, the Facilitator moves to the Integration step. The goal is to amend the proposal so that it would not cause the Objection, and would still address the proposer's original tension. Objections are integrated one at a time. For each objection, the Facilitator facilitates a discussion to help integrate the objection. Mostly the Objector and the Proposer speak, but others can help as well. The discussion stops as soon as the Objector and the Proposer have both agreed that an amended proposal would not cause an objection while still addressing the Proposer's tension. This is not a place to debate the value of the proposal or the objection! We need to focus on finding an acceptable amendment to the proposal that both the Objector and Proposer agree on. MOVE FORWARD ASAP!

    Once all objections are integrated, go back to an Objection Round to ensure there is no new objection.

    6. Check out​

    Each person has an opportunity to share a closing reflection on this meeting. No discussion.

    7. Transparency Publishing​

    The Note Taker posts the meeting notes in the #meetingnotes channel on the Giveth Discord.

    The Livestream Recorder publishes the audio/video recording of the meeting in the Giveth Transparency YouTube channel.

No intermediaries. Giveth is constantly integrating more networks with lower gas fees (the amount you pay to the blockchain network when transacting crypto) and additional token options for donors to choose from. For some networks we work with, these fees are fractions of a penny!

    The Giveth Philosophy​

    Rather than building business models, we’re building economic models. Our vision is to help nonprofits change the way they’re funded by evolving towards their own regenerative microeconomies using the innovative tools and funding mechanisms of web3. Instead of resorting to an old model of extracting value from users with fees, we can leverage the “money legos” of web3 to reward creation and innovation around public goods, build incredible community-driven networks, and maximize changemakers’ impact on the ground.

    Giveth is predominantly funded by donations and grants while we continue building towards this vision, leading the way with the launch of our own GIVeconomy and associated GIV token in 2019. We are developing new revenue streams that support both projects and the Giveth DAO through products like GIVFi, which will generate yields on unclaimed crypto donation funds, to the benefit of both our users and the Giveth platform. Ultimately the launch of Gurves, bonding curves collateralized by GIV, will complete Giveth’s evolution from a nonprofit donation platform to a sustainable center for impact investing, and enable projects on Giveth to do the same.

    Read more about what we’re building here.
