Hey @chingun
Thanks for participating. Thank ARB by Plurality Labs is the “Program Provider”. This particular program is meant primarily for experimentation. The team set a goal for 20% voter turnout.
You can see the Jokerace program as the small dot on the bottom right.
There are other grant programs to check out including the Gaming program on Questbook. There will likely be more opportunities with Thank ARB programs too if our milestone 2 proposal passes!
Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you well.
We (Lampros Labs DAO) were going through both the round’s applications submitted on the JokeRace platform and we’ve prepared a database of the same as well in a sheet.
Link to database - Arbitrum Mini Grants Database.
Anyone can feel free to use this database as it contains the list of all the applications submitted in both rounds with details such as Applicant name, Project name, Link to the application submitted, Website link of the project (if available) and Twitter link of the project (if available) and No. of votes the projects received during the voting phase.
We will be updating the database with the upcoming rounds as well.
If you have any suggestions, changes or additional information you’d like to see included, drop a comment or a DM, and we’ll gladly update the database accordingly.
We are looking forward to seeing the community thrive through shared knowledge!
Hello @ddwchen i had a questions regarding the play to earn reimagined grant , I am wondering if any projects for this round don’t fallow through or don’t actually start building, what happens then ? Would there be a revote ?
I missed this one and I have a really good idea and the game dev experience to back it up and I would like to apply. Only if other projects don’t follow through. Thanks have a nice day web3 fam.
Great question - this hasn’t happened yet and hopefully won’t. We do have another round coming up in Week 8 on “The Next Frontier of NFTs” that could be a good fit for you too depending on what your project is specifically.
This is awesome, thanks so much!
We (Lampros Labs DAO) have updated the database with Round 3 and Round 4 results.

Some ways to improve the mini grants program in the future
Controversial topics
This is a wonderful bottom-up project to get projects funded. When coming across this initiative I was wondering if there are patterns predicting who winners and voter turnout. Part of the work is inspired by the questions raised in DataGrants: Permissionless Suggestion Box Kick-Off & Status.
I’ve looked at voter turnout using the number of wallets that voted (53 in round 1, 52 in subsequent rounds) and the number of votes that were casted (400 per voter). Finding the relevant information in the forum took some time. Hopefully I didn’t miss anything

Fewer proposals are posted
Stable voter turnout, but decreasing since round 4
Potential ecosystem participation effect with voters casting fewer votes to new-comers
I’ve not run any statistical tests. While one of the graph suggest that being new to the ecosystem means you are less likely to win, this isn’t proven with statistical tests.
Hi @ddwchen
I need some help, I was submitting my proposal for Week 7 today and the Jokerace site crashed whilst the window was open I have proof and have raised a bug with them but they’re saying I need to reach out to you to get the proposal submitted for consideration before voting ends.
Please could you advise, so I can get this up. I worked a fair bit on the proposal so it’s kinda raw it doesn’t see the light of day due to a technical issue.
Thank you
Not sure if anything will be done anyhow here is my proposal.
your name:
Evidence DAO
your project’s name:
Evidence DAO on Arbitrum Orbit Anytrust L3
description of your project:
Evidence DAO is an on-chain decentralized DAO project delivery management system.
It enables DAO’s to achieve end-to-end transparency with respect to proposal delivery.
Operationally once a DAO proposal has been agreed it needs to be implemented, hence a project needs to be formed which delivers on the proposal. Further compensation and post delivery management of project artifacts needs to be done. All of the above need to retain the original transparency that was incepted during the DAO decisioning / governance process.
DAOs struggle with achieving the above because DAOs are by nature porous, any member can join or leave without consulting anyone. Further accounting that readily links DAO project funds, to DAO project artifacts, and DAO project artifact quality is extremely difficult to achieve, as different projects may use different document repositories and further project participants may retain artifacts in personal repositories hence with the individual’s departure, the DAO loses valuable IP it has already paid for!!
Evidence DAO addresses the above concerns by providing a decentralized, non-custodial platform that enables DAOs to allocate approved funds to on-chain projects. Each project provides the project team with the ability to create deliverables, assign compensation, assign roles and for each deliverable get an independent quality assessment published on chain attesting to how well the deliverable was delivered. Evidence DAO further provides DAOs with on chain curation of projects and their artifacts allowing a given DAO’s members the ability to independently scrutinize, audit and learn from a given DAO project’s outputs, quality and spend, regardless of whether the delivery team is still within the DAO.
With over 700 DAOs interviewed a key concern is cost, hence the inception of the Evidence DAO on Arbitrum Orbit Anytrust L3 Project. The project aligns with the Arbitrum DAO’s strategic priority of Technological Advancement. This project is aimed at giving DAOs the ability leverage Arbitrum Orbit technology to deploy their own Layer 3 network to utilize Evidence DAO with the specific aims of leveraging Arbitrum Orbit features of:
The focus of this project is to explore the new possibilities that arise when gas costs are taken out of the equation. For example how coordination of multiple independent assessors for a single deliverable might work across multiple frequent transactions, or how cross chain contributor payments might work.
how your project is utilizing arbitrum:
The Evidence DAO project is currently utilizing Arbitrum One Mainnet to host our sales platform. This project will be utilizing a custom Arbitrum Orbit L3 Chain (AOL3) to host core and supporting Evidence DAO contracts. The project will also be leveraging AOL3 to build Evidence DAO extensions that can only exist in a super low gas environment.
how your project fits within this week’s theme
For DAOs to reach their true decentralized potential, they have to be able to capitalize on the potential of their communities and defend themselves against bad actors, bad actions and negative outcomes. The key to this defense is transparency and accountability at scale. In short “unleashing the power of DAOs” means giving the ordinary DAO member the ability to hold the DAO to account, learn from the deliveries behind the decisions made by the DAO and thus constructively police the DAO at scale. With deployment on Arbitrum One using Arbitrum Orbit Technology, the Evidence DAO on Arbitrum Orbit Anytrust L3 opens the door for DAOs to achieve better outcomes by providing a platform that can grow with the DAO.

roughly how much you’ve already received in VC funding and/or grants (please specify whether money raised was from VC rounds or grants)
No VC funding
5K Filecoin Microgrant
how you plan to use the 2,500 ARB if selected as a grantee
On selection we will look to incept a four week proof of concept build of the project. The objective will be to self host an L3 prototype of the working Evidence DAO service hosted on Arbitrum Orbit with Arbitrum as the underlying chain. This prototype will look to extend features offered by the existing code base to include valuable but less gas efficient options such as the ability to assign multiple individuals to a single deliverable.
We will look to engage fore runners such as Caldera and Antler to gain insights and assemble a showcase coalition of DAOs for an onward programme geared toward full production deployment of the platform.
We will also look to publish a weekly series detailing our experiences during the build with the aim of helping other dApp providers considering Arbitrum Orbit accelerate their endeavors.
The anticipated impact is that we will be able to onboard up to 10% of the 700 DAOs we’ve already canvased onto Arbitrum Orbit essentially establishing Arbitrum and Arbitrum Orbit as the de facto DAO innovation leader, and where DAOs unleash their hitherto restricted potential. We believe that Arbitrum Orbit Technology provides the missing link between DAOs and total on chain operation as it provides DAOs with chain self sovereignty whilst simultaneously enabling Evidence DAO to deliver an expanded feature set that would be difficult to operationalize on L1 EVM.
