Plurality Labs: "Our Biggest Minigrants Yet" (JokeRace)

Round 2 Recap:

  • Topic: Play to Earn, Reimagined
  • Submissions open from January 22-25 at 9am EST (72 hours)
  • Voting open from January 25 at 9am EST - January 27 at 9pm EST (60 hours)
  • What went well:
    • No internal disagreements this round like we had in Round 1; discussions seemed to be productive and everyone worked really well together
    • Four great projects selected to award grants to
      • Great job funding projects that (1) come from different areas of the world and (2) haven’t received prior funding of any kind
  • What didn’t go well:
    • Applications received were much lower than last week (11 this week vs 43 last week)
      • Our topic was more niche this week so that could be a contributing factor
    • Voting turnout less than last week (31% this week vs 38% last week) but still higher than our projected goal of 20%
      • We nearly doubled our voting period based on feedback from last week that our voting period was too short, and we had a smaller voter turnout this week, which shows the longer voting time did not benefit the results

Round 2 Results:

  • Applications received: 11
  • Voting percentage: 30.7% (6,400.296 / 20,800)
    • Down from 38% last week
    • But still above our goal of 20% when creating this program
  • Winning grantees (tweet):
    • (1) Stephen Ogbaje (Beningin) (1,265.951 votes)
