GrantPicks by Potlock is a Soroban-enabled funding platform using pairwise voting to easily allocate grants to Stellar projects.
PotLock is an open-source public goods funding infrastructure. We build tools that enable anyone to fund anything and track impact across different blockchains. Our build on Stellar is GrantPicks, a mobile responsive application that uses pairwise voting to reduce the cognitive overload of allocating funding to projects. This enables grantmakers to allocate funding distributed across projects and community members to vote, allowing for a more decentralized funding program. We will integrate an on-chain project directory, and round factory contract to allow anyone to run their own permissionless budget boxing application.
Problem: Growing an ecosystem is hard. Allocating capital and keeping track of project image is hard. There is no way to support projects on Stellar directly.
Our goals: Bring more transparency and streamline project tracking on chain. Bring external capital into the Stellar ecosystem. Supplement community fund delegation. Reduce cognitive overload for grant and community members. Continue to build out new funding mechanisms on top of Sorbon.
Currently, there is no on-chain application for communities to support public goods on Stellar built on Soroban directly. We will change this with our vaulting mechanisms, which delegate funds via Pairwise + Budget Boxing algorithms. This enables anyone to create their own funding round. Projects to enlist in an on-chain project registry and apply to rounds. Anyone to fund ongoing rounds. Quick voting rounds to delegate and allocate funding.
As part of this ask: $50,000 for development. Cover audit costs for vaults (audit bank). $150,000 USD worth of XLM to put in vaults to run a series of 3 $50,000 rounds after the next SCF round. Marketing & onboarding of Stellar ecosystem onto GrantPicks (verified community voters and projects).
