How this works

  • The goal of DeSpaceQF is to support and raise awareness on Decentralized Space projects via democratic funding mechanisms
  • Fundraising, operations and co-marketing is conducted by community-elected Round Stewards
  • Stewards get rewarded during the Round by donations to the project named DeSpace Stewardship
  • Responsibilities include: smooth operations, fundraising, drafting eligibility criteria, project selection, website maintenance, sybill analysis and distribution of funds
  • Projects are accepted by The Council where verified and credible community members are responsible for Approving/Rejecting projects
  • Gitcoin Allo Protocol & Grants Stack will be used for distribution (each selected project has to follow Gitcoin Rules)
