Research Brief

Background

• We are researching whether or not projects want to build on-chain reputation
• [ASSUMPTION] Problem Space → some of the project owner’s painpoints include:
  • Being susceptible to fraud (i.e. other projects posing as me and stealing my funding)
  • Finding the best rounds for you to apply to
    • Not wasting time applying to multiple rounds that you are not eligible for or are not a good fit for
  • Being able to show the impact of my project
  • Getting consistent funding / having a reliable source of funding

Goals

• Validate the problem space / assumptions above — are these actual painpoints of the project owner? Are we missing any painpoints or problems?
• Determine if project owners need to build on-chain project reputation — is this something that would be useful to them? Why?
  • What does building project reputation mean to the project owner?
• Learn about what project owners hope to achieve by building project reputation
• Explore if there are any other potential problem spaces beyond project reputation that we haven’t discovered yet
