Oasis Onchain Quick Grants

[stefdelev]

Hello Arbitrum!

We wanted to introduce the Oasis Onchain Quick Grants Program, in collaboration with Thank Arb.

Program Description:
The Oasis Quick Grants Program is the first active phase of the Oasis Onchain Ecosystem Fund - a program dedicated to nurturing the crypto ecosystem in the Caribbean and the Global South as a whole, while pushing to ensure that relevant solutions are accessible for Global South populations.

We are excited to establish this grants program via the Arbitrum DAO and the THANK ARB program, as they have been spearheading novel funding mechanisms that will establish Arbitrum as the leading L2 globally.

Our strategic goals are aligned with the needs of the Arbitrum DAO:

1. Position Arbitrum as the L2 of choice for builders in the Caribbean and Global South
2. Accelerate new verticals of consumer crypto products built on Arbitrum for the Caribbean and other underserved emerging markets
3. Launch new RWAs native and relevant to emerging market users on Arbitrum
4. Educate developers and dapp founders native to the Caribbean on how to build on Arbitrum with Orbit + Stylus
5. Help consumer crypto teams launching in the Caribbean and Global South onboard new users with highly targeted marketing
6. Onboard more delegates from the Global South to Arbitrum governance

Program Details

The Oasis Quick Grants Program is structured around a Bounty or Request for Proposals (RFP) format designed to foster innovation and rapid development in the Caribbean. We are looking to fund 15 projects, each of which can receive a one-off payment ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 ARB.

The program is an excellent opportunity for those looking to bring their ideas to life quickly and efficiently, with financial support to boost their project’s impact. Our goal with this program is to spearhead the rapid proliferation of Abitrum’s tech, community, and governance throughout the Global South and establish Ambassador strongholds in the region.

Goals of Quick grants:

1. Accessible funding for Global South builders building on top of Arbitrum
2. The rapid expansion of Arbitrum contributors + governance delegates in the Global South The rapid expansion of educational content pertaining to Orbit + Stylus

Expected use cases:

• Minimal bootstrapping for projects at the start of their journey (proactive funding).
• Retroactive funding by request or discretion to support individuals going above and beyond in the ecosystem. Some examples might be:
  • Community management + Ambassadorship
  • Open-source code contributors
  • Governance management
  • Educational content
  • One-off workshops

Pool size: 75,000 ARB

Application Process + Methodology

Oasis Quick Grants will be proactive funding for grantees.

We will open up a Quick Grants portal on Charmverse and add in relevant RFPs for Global South consumer crypto. During the application period, we will conduct 1-2 education workshops on the Arbitrum ecosystem and help grantees understand how to structure their grant proposal for maximum success.

We will give applicants 2 weeks to submit their proposals with a strict deadline for the first milestone set at 4-6 weeks from the initiation of each project. Weekly office hours will also be held within these two weeks for feedback and guidance.

Applicants can draft a proposal on Charmverse via a proposal template. The relevant program manager will review their application and provide feedback/approval in 3-5 business days. This streamlined funding approach aims to enable swift project completion.

(Importantly, participants will appreciate the ease of application as no KYC verification is required for this category for grants less than 2K USD; for grants greater than 2K USD, applicants will go through the Arbitrum KYC process and then will be disbursed funds once approved. In regards to all approved applicants, THANK ARB committee will be disbursing the funds.)

Given that this is only a 2 month grant program, we will be conducting biweekly check ins and requiring biweekly updates from grantees on Charmverse during the grant process. This will be an automated reminder in TG and via email.

By Aug 15, we will ensure Applicants submit their 1st milestone, and we will submit a formal report of findings and feedback to the THANK ARB committee for evaluation by Aug 25.

Team
The program will be managed by the 4 founding team members, who each have specialties on multiple fronts

1. Stefen Deleveaux - Partnerships and Outreach
2. Marvelgirl.eth - Consumer Crypto Strategy and Grant Support
3. Estefania Ochoa - Marketing and Ecosystem Development
4. Amira Gariba - Operations and Process Optimization

We will, of course, be providing regular updates via the forum.
Many thanks to Thank Arb for making this possible!

Hello Arbitrum!

We are GMetarave: Beats!

Project name::
GMetarave: Beats!

Project Description / Overview

GMetarave: Beats is a music rhythm game conceptualized and brought to life by true pop music fans - our team. We prioritize underrepresented KPOP acts, providing them with more ways to connect with their fans through GMetarave: Beats. The team is based in the Philippines.

Recipient Wallet Address:
0xb57c77bdf67b1d89b691f33fb15a8ec09941b9a1

Project Prize Amount: 5000 ARB

Project Description

Inspired by titles like Guitar Hero, Osu!, Dance Revolution, and many others, GMetarave: Beats offers engaging and dynamic music rhythm gameplay. With a touch of something new!

The main game items are cards that show a picture of a KPOP artist and a border art, these items are all NFTs. These cards will boost the player’s score if they hit the notes perfectly during the game.

Our main in-game music is from KPOP groups and artists. Kpop popularity is continuously on the rise. Several groups are debuting each month. We are also going mobile-first because it’s currently the most profitable sector of the gaming industry and also the fastest growing. This means our music rhythm game project will have more partner artists, more music to use in-game, and will have a synergistic growth with the KPOP industry itself.

This also means that players will always have new music to play with, new game items to purchase, and new artists and groups to look forward to in our game. This will lead to our profitability and longevity for the years to come.

We are also a service to KPOP groups and artists to help them reach more audiences. When we started speaking to KPOP folks, managers, and artists alike, we were surprised to learn that many want to be on a game and be on Web3 but don’t know where to start. This is because they are in the entertainment industry and already very busy with their industry. So when we started having our discussions we made it easy for them, telling them we only need permission to use their songs and pictures for the game.

What makes us different is we will reward our players with artist-signed merchandise, and a very rare chance to have a 1 on 1 video call with our partner KPOP artists. All of our partner KPOP artists and groups agreed to this. This is a dream come true for most fans and we are confident that it will greatly drive our engagement. When we first started contacting KPOP groups, we thought it wasn’t a possibility, we are seeing the reward from the fan’s perspective but the KPOP groups we spoke with agreed to give these kinds of rewards to the players who will make it to the top of our leaderboards. This made us very excited!

Milestone 1: Making it smooth and slick

Deliverables

• Game UI
• Game item assets
• User on-chain experience

Task

• Ensure consistent Game UI for a marketable and friction-free experience for players. Players don’t want a buggy and slow user interface! We will optimize the asset size and look ratio to the best balance for the premium looks and interaction speed. Karl and Paul will work together on this one.
• Produce more nice-looking game assets. Game assets are our bread and butter. This needs to be spot on. We will hire another designer for this, so Karl can have extra hands with the design.
• We will optimize our on-chain code to ensure the fastest transactions. We will integrate social aspects of the game on-chain such as game reward badges, and in-game milestones. Achievements will be minted as NFTs.

Key Results

• Best user experience on core functionalities
• Completion of core functionalities
• Feedback from 20 internal testers. We need to hear them say that it feels like they are just playing a Web2 game.

• Supervise and instruct testers to try the core functionalities such as registration, logging in, and playing a song. We will ask them to deliberately spam or do it all together to make sure both the server and the app can withstand heavy user activity and heavy network traffic.
• We will have an in-game leaderboard and reward the testers for sharing their time with us. Prizes range from in-game items to kpop merch. We will ask them to share their experience feedback, and suggestions for the game app on social media. We will then choose 3 winners for the best share and feedback. We need to get out of our stealth mode, and we are really excited!
• We will survey the best pricing scheme for our KPOP photocards.

Thanks to Oasis Onchain and ThankArb program for trust in us!

Project Name: Kairos Research Portfolio Tracker

Recipient Wallet Address: 0x13257e783dc8ded7e227a28edb0428c42d31202e

Project Description / Overview

We are building a data and research platform that help users to take better decisions in their journey in their ecosystem. In this proposal, we are development a portfolio tracker and a educational hub. The portfolio tracker will show different metrics of the wallet’s user like total balance, coins in the portfolio, DeFi positions in Arbitrum. The Educational Hub will include a series of educational resources to learn to analyze projects by themselves. In the future we expect to add more data about the user behavior like number of monthly transactions, contracts more used, etc.

Project Prize Amount: 5,000 ARB

We have estimated the 5,000 ARB to cover expenses related to this areas:

• UX/UI Design
• Back and Front Development
• User Feedback
• Project Planning

Funds will be used to cover salaries, development costs and platforms using to manage and design the project

Describe your project in depth

Today, a user has to go to different tools to understand what is happening in their wallets. We are developing the ultimate tool that helps users have all they need in one dashboard. We are reducing the time that a user takes to analyze their own wallets. In the long run, we expect to cover different ecosystems, giving users the opportunity to have a better understanding of their movements in web3.

We have built our frontend trough Next Js, React and Tailwind, we have successfully integrated Privy to allow users log in with their wallets or with a web2 method. In the backend we are using PHP Laravel and our database is in MySQL. Our next steps is to start the integration of data from blockchain, in this case, Arbitrum.We will use a NUC 9 to run the Arbitrum Node. Our team has experience running Ethereum Holesky and Lukso nodes, is participating in a DVT and have running several incentivized testnets nodes during the last year.

We plan to run an Arbitrum Node to access data directly, reducing our dependency on third parties. With this we will ensure faster and more reliable access to data and improve the overall performance and reliability of our portfolio tracker tool.

This tool has the potential to become one of the most used tools in the Arbitrum ecosystem because the amount of data that a user could get about their behavior. We are actively engaging with the community through our constant pursuit of feedback and by integrating the features they truly need.

We expect to deliver the MVP of this project in Aug 23, 2024 with bugs in this version fixed by August 30th and then continue the development according to our roadmap.

Bitsave Protocol
A savings protocol that allows african users avoid the inflation on their fiat currencies and access stable coins on Arbitrum.

Recipient Wallet Address
0x72578e136E72A18A832be6762230a820f514d180

Project Description / Overview
How does Bitsave work?

1. Users typically save in a Stable coins, DAI, USDT or USDC

2. Users can create a savings plan and make unlimited deposits to their savings plan, e.g., “Rent, School fees, Vacation” etc, and they earn rewards in the protocol tokens $BTS, typically the native token of the Bitsave Protocol.

3. Users can create a savings plan in 3 simple steps, and set different parameters for their savings plan;

• Name your savings plan
• Set the duration for your savings, using the calendar
• Set a penalty fee if you forfeit your savings

A Side Note

Bitsave isn’t just another product, it’s a new value chain. The web3 space is used to DeFi which are investment protocols, and now we’re introducing them to SaveFi which are savings protocols that prioritize the stability of user savings over earning from crypto volatility.

Savings and Investments aren’t the same thing, but most of the masses that come into web3 don’t know that so they treat DeFi like it’s a savings and then get burnt by the volatility, the idea of savings is that risks must be low, some African users aren’t looking to invest, they’re just looking to save and avoid inflation on their currency easy enough.

Bitsave is the savings protocol for web3 finance.

Project Prize Amount:
5,000 Arb

Describe your project in depth

There are 3 main development infra for Bitsave:

• Child-Parent Contract Function - On the backend, when a user creates a savings plan, a child contract is created using the instructions of the user input, such that their deposits are held by the contract and not deposited to a pool that a hacker can exploit. It also makes it easier to compound interests when users re-deposit.

So when users are selecting parameters for their Savings Plan, essentially what they’re doing is creating a child contract under Bitsave Parent Contract that holds their funds and that is connected to their wallet.

So if anything unfortunate happens like an exploit, the hacker would still need the users to approve the transaction on their device before their hack can complete.

Now if Bitsave has 50k users and an exploit happens, hackers would need to wait for all 50k approval from users before they can steal anything.

The goal with SaveFi is to protect user funds without having access to user funds, the child contract takes commands from the Bitsave Parent contract and that’s how savings rewards, due dates and penalties are calculated and then issued.

• Reward mechanism
• Buy-Back contract

How Bitsave Works

1. Users Create a Savings plan and deposit in a Stable Coin

• Users aren’t depositing into a pool like DeFi protocols that a hacker could access.
• When a user is creating a savings plan, they’re giving parameters for a child contract to be created under the Bitsave Protocol Parent contract which holds their funds and is only accessible by their wallet.

This makes it such that every user’s savings deposit is tied to their wallet so that in case of an exploit, the hacker wouldn’t have access to user funds, except they have access to user private keys.

2. Users’ Interests

• Interests are calculated using a number of variables and constants in the algorithm;
• Simple interest formula
• Bitsave Rate formula.
• Bitsave has a buy-back mechanism that buys

3. Users’ Savings Plans and Fees

Users are charged a 1-time savings fee on savings plan creation (child contract), every fee is split in a 50:50 ratio, where 1 part goes to a buy-back wallet to buy back the protocol native tokens from any AMM or Dex in the native chain’s ecosystem.

Bitsave isn’t just another product, it’s a new value chain, the web 3 space is used to DeFi, and now we’re introducing them to SaveFi.

3 Main Goals

1. Help web2 users in African Countries escape inflation in their fiat currencies by saving in Crypto Stable Coins.
2. Make dollar easily accesible to users through DAI, USDC, or USDT on Arbitrum Network
3. Maintain an Easy to use UI and make it easier for users create an automatic recurring savings plan for rent, school fees using Stable Coins.

Bitsave Available Functionalities

Savings Features

1. Users can Connect wallet
2. Create and name a savings plan e.g Rent, School fees, vacation etc
3. Select amount and allocate savings

6. Users can make unlimited feeless deposits to their savings plan in Stable Coins.

Earn features

1. Users can see their rewards per savings plan on the leaderboard

Hello Arbitrum Team!

Estefania from Oasis Onchain reporting on our July activity.

You can find more information about our proposal above, and here you can find our recent updates.

Our goal was to initially close our grants program early in July, but we decided to extend our deadline, thanks to the cooperation of the Thrive team. We moved our initial application deadline from July 5th to July 22nd.

This gave us more time to review the initial applications and continue reviewing on a rolling basis, as well as create more partnerships in the ecosystem to cast a wider net to allow different projects to apply.

Our goal for July was to close out the grants program while ensuring we were communicative and supportive to our applicants.

Here’s what we accomplished:

• Had 5+ Internal meetings to review, and discuss next steps of the grants program
• Had 1:1s with potential Grantees to better evaluate their projects, and vet their seriousness
• Met with thrive team to get support on our next steps and ensure we were up to date with our milestones
• Hosted multiple Twitter Spaces with partners like: Web3Afrika & Thank Arb team.
• We also Hosted a Spanish office hours to answer questions for Spanish speakers
• We’ve receive over 40 applications from varying countries in the Global South.
• We’ve completed reviewing, and have entrusted our applicants to complete KYC
• Our next mission, is to ensure that all applicants commence with their projects, and meet milestones to get people their grants

[0xGonzalo]

GM! I’m 0xGonzalo one of the founders of the MusicaW3 community

We are very happy to participate in the Grants program.

We appreciate the opportunity.

We keep building.

Project Name: MusicaW3: Hacia la soberanía de los creadores onchain (Towards Onchain Creators’ Sovereignty)

Address: 0x1198b8935ff1a7f981f09560b12707409db431f0

Amount Requested: 5,000 ARB

About MusicaW3:

MúsicaW3 is a community of independent Latin American artists aiming to generate free, high-quality content and education for artists seeking to develop their careers within Web3. We have enabled more than 150 Latin American musicians to have their first experiences minting their songs. Some of our previous works includes alliances with protocols and blockchains to generate IRL events like Base Meetup, CiberW3B Festival, “Resonancias Paralelas,” among others, and various dissemination channels like WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Warpcast, and Lens. We have also participated in various panels for projects like “EthArgentina,” “La Bitconf,” and “Fundación Blockchain.”

Project Description:

We aim to create a program in Spanish for onchain creators that involves both digital content for Latin America and IRL events in Buenos Aires with talks and where Collaborative Drops from the community will be presented.

We believe that blockchain is a crucial tool for the empowerment of artists, musicians, and all types of content creators in an environment of inclusion and greater opportunities. Many of the tools provided are still out of reach for Latin American creators, and we believe that the lack of Spanish content made by and for artists reflects the need to continue generating solid support and educational spaces for their development.

Our program aims to provide comprehensive information on how blockchain can represent the sustainable development of artistic careers in its multiple dimensions, ranging from the sovereign sale of their content via NFTs to the possibility of seeking project funding through collective crowdfunding programs or grants provided by DAOs. Additionally, we aim to spread the word about the financial inclusion allowed by tools such as DeFi.

We believe that a format that includes both content that can be viewed remotely from all parts of Latin America and a meeting and exchange space in one of our strongest community hubs, Buenos Aires, is key for newcomers to feel supported and to find technical assistance and possible circulation strategies for their works from people with different experiences.

Long-Term Vision:

MúsicaW3 aims to position itself as an educational and experiential space that intersects music, art, and blockchain technology, helping to generate more onchain activity.

Key Success Factors:

Innovation: We are one of the first and few active onchain creator communities that conduct daily activities on social media and IRL events.

Active Creators: We strive to generate blockchain activity both within the project and through our collective drops and attestations, as well as onboarding new creators.

Creator Sovereignty: Creators educated by the community operate under an empowerment logic for independent artists, allowing them to develop sustainably and achieve financial freedom.

Inclusivity and Expansion: We believe that the decentralized nature of the project creates a ripple effect for less recognized creators, enabling them to expand their audiences and monetize their works more easily.

MúsicaW3 already has a long track record, with over 150 new artists participating by creating their music and works on the blockchain, introducing them to the ethos of decentralized models that allow greater control of their content. We believe that Latin America presents an ideal scenario for the widespread adoption of this philosophy, and we seek to increase the number of artists attracted to the project. This growth will be measured through a more efficient data analysis system.

Milestone 1: Content Creation and Event Planning (2 months)

Deliverables:

• Educational audiovisual content

0x4BaF3334dF86FB791A6DF6Cf4210C685ab6A1766

Project Description / Overview

This full-day event aims to educate, inspire, and connect African developers in the Arbitrum ecosystem. It will include interactive workshops to learn about Web3 technologies and Arbitrum-specific tools, a mini hackathon to encourage hands-on development and innovation, a discussion of the latest trends and opportunities in Web3, and inspiring talks to motivate attendees to pursue careers in blockchain development.

This event aims to equip participants with the skills, knowledge, and network necessary to actively contribute to the Arbitrum ecosystem and foster growth and diversity within the community.

Project Prize Amount:

5000 ARB

Describe your project in depth

Web3 Afrika addresses a critical gap in the web3 ecosystem by providing education, support, and resources to African developers and entrepreneurs. The current ecosystem lacks significant representation and participation from Africa, which limits the diversity of perspectives and innovation. We are enhancing the ecosystem’s inclusivity and capability by building a robust community of skilled web3 builders in Africa.

Our initiatives, such as hackathons, workshops, and mentorship programs, directly tackle the problem of limited access to web3 education and resources in Africa, ensuring that more voices and ideas can contribute to developing decentralized applications and technologies.

Several factors contribute to the potential long-term success of Web3 Afrika:

Strong Community Focus: Our emphasis on community building ensures a supportive and collaborative environment for developers to thrive. This strong network of peers and mentors fosters continuous learning and innovation.

Expertise and Leadership: The core team comprises professionals with expertise in community building, software engineering, and blockchain technology. This leadership ensures the project’s strategic direction and operational efficiency.

Proven Track Record: We have successfully organized numerous events, hackathons, and bootcamps, demonstrating our capability to execute and deliver impactful programs. This track record builds trust and credibility within the community.

Demand and Validation: The enthusiastic participation and positive feedback from builders validate the need for our project. The consistent support we receive indicates that we are addressing a real and pressing need within the ecosystem.

Sustainability and Growth: Our approach to compensating educators and community leaders ensures that the project can scale sustainably. By investing in human capital, we are building a foundation for long-term growth and impact.

Global and Local Impact: We are tapping into an underrepresented market with immense potential by focusing on Africa. This geographical focus allows us to make a significant local impact while contributing to the global Web3 ecosystem.

Web3 Afrika is a tangible use case because it directly addresses the educational and resource gaps in the web3 space. Empowering African developers fosters local innovation and enriches the global web3 community with diverse perspectives and solutions.

Hello Team! Sharing my project here:

Project Name:
ForkinWisdom

Recipient Wallet Address:
0xA7C6a8782632733d48246bF516475341Dac6d65B

Project Description / Overview:
We will create, for 10 public goods projects in LATAM, 10 gamified onboarding campaigns to get more web2 people to get into web3 and start supporting public goods. Users will “vote onchain and gassless” on different creative ideas and will earn economic prizes in return. This will make them very interested in the project’s milestones, and at the same time will get them to get onboarded into web3.

Project Prize Amount:
5000 arb

Link to Karma Gap:

Karma GAP - ForkinWisdom

Describe your project in depth:

The project has these characteristics:

CREATIVE SCROLLABLE STORYTELLING:

We have created a very innovative scrollable storytelling technique. This will ensure that newly onboarded people will understand the project’s mission and milestones, and also will be very engaged and interested in participating further.

FRICTIONLESS WEB3 ONBOARDING:

Our web app gives the users an embedded smart wallet (keychain only, no passwords, seed phrases, etc) and also every transaction is sponsored, so they don’t have to purchase any eth or anything to vote. This will make them be able to taste web3 without any risks or hurdles.

GAMIFIED ONBOARDING AND COMMUNITY BUILDING:

Users will be constantly invited to “vote on-chain” on several creative ideas and to amplify the messages. They will receive economic prizes (in arb) so this will be a big incentive for them to participate. As the campaign progresses, we will have managed to have several people very interested, invested and excited about each project’s mission and milestones, and amplifying the messages to onboard even more people.

LIST OF LATAM PROJECTS WE WANT TO SUPPORT :
