  6. Reciprocal ecosystem in decentral health-data, health research, Solid-webapps and financial transactions for a more inclusive wellbeing

    Grant for the Web

    94 501 USD

    Total amount committed

    • Location: Netherlands
    Project lead: Gijs van den Beucken

    Researching and building a proof of concept as a first step towards a new financial and data ecosystem combining Solid Webapps, Solid Pods, and Web Monetization. Users will pay webapps to access supportive health webapps and process and store their data on their Solid Pod. Researchers get access to data of the user’s Solid Pod and pay the user for the data, with respect for privacy and consent. This will support health improvements on both a personal and community level, will give people control over their data, and will simultaneously nourish academic research institutes with data from more diverse groups.

  7. The Hard Drive Review Section

    Grant for the Web

    80 000 USD

    Total amount committed

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Jeremy Kaplowitz

    Building the Hard Drive Review Section, an entirely new area of Hard Drive's website that focuses exclusively on game reviews. The video game community has already embraced the idea of micro-donations and directly supporting content creators via Twitch, but there are many video game content creators with massive audiences whose content does not translate to that platform. We want to introduce Web Monetization to our community members and show them this new technology that allows them to support their favorite creators on all kinds of platforms, including independent websites.

  8. The Metagovernance Project: Community governance and participatory budgeting for the Web

    Grant for the Web

    78 180 USD

    Total amount committed

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Joshua Tan

    Prototyping a modular, customizable governance standard and framework for online communities that will allow users to design their own rule-sets, choose voting schemes, and make collective decisions about resource allocation and monetary flows through the Web Monetization standard. Rather than providing a fixed governance algorithm, the Metagovernance standard allows developers and users to build, assemble, and share their own governance processes, appropriate to their needs. Through it, for instance, a community that earns money through Web Monetization would have a transparent, accountable means for deciding together how that money should be saved or spent.

Our software will use CommonsPub, which is based on ActivityPub and ValueFlo.ws, together with Interledger though GraphQL to allow interoperability between diverse ledger models, and will be piloted by multiple organizations in order to help us find the strengths and pain points in our software design.
