Funded Projects

We believe that the path to a self-sustaining, antifragile ecosystem lies in prioritizing technical excellence, practicality, and an uncompromising philosophy of freedom. Through our strategic investments in privacy projects and anonymity-oriented tooling, education & discussions, we aim to create value and empower developers, hackers, and educators with the power to collaborate, innovate, and contribute to build an antifragile ecosystem.

Through our mutual share goals and values on empowering individuals, communities, and developers to build decentralized, autonomous, and censorship-resistant infrastructures that challenge centralization and enable true digital freedom, sovereignty, and open knowledge sharing.

Perpetual Organizations that are fully community owned and fully decentralized are crucial for protecting groups dedicated to pursuing goals that disrupt the mainstream. Organizations particularly vulnerable to sabotage currently either need to hide, be on the offensive, or compromise on rewarding contributors. Poa mitigates these risks by embedding democratic processes directly into the organizational framework and money management, making it virtually impossible for any single entity to exert undue influence or control. This protects the integrity and mission of grassroots movements, activist collectives, and other organizations committed to social change.

The impact of Poa extends beyond individual organizations. By demonstrating the viability and advantages of decentralized models, Poa inspires wider adoption of these principles, contributing to a more democratic, equitable, and decentralized society. The ripple effects of this shift have the potential to challenge and ultimately transform prevailing economic systems that are highly centralized and destructive.

With Poa, anyone will be able to create and begin digitally co-stewarding their community.

Crypto anarchy is the tactic of using cryptography to create a space of freedom which cannot be penetrated by power and capital monopolies with coercive force. This space of freedom is the nascent seed of a democratic society. These social structures are resistant to state control and totalitarian power from the start. They are programmed with the code of resistance. They are spaces which counter social atomization and promote voluntary communal bonds by those who cherish freedom. They are dark spaces used by an alliance of democratic forces.

This is, together, the future we are building towards.

DarkFi stands alongside the Moros community’s commitment to privacy and the development of the cypherpunk values at the core of Bitcoin and Ethereum’s original ethos. Without the protection of anonymous applications, decentralization, sovereignty, and censorship resistance are impossible.

But in the open air of a fully dark, anonymous system, cryptocurrency has the potential to birth new technological concepts centered around sovereignty. Through our coordination is emerging a creative, regenerative space – the dawn of a Dark Renaissance.

This project directly supports the cause of decentralization by enhancing the trust and safety of DeFi and crypto communities. By leveraging AI to identify and promote positive behaviors while discouraging negative ones, we’re building a more secure and transparent ecosystem. The open-source nature of our dataset empowers developers and community leaders within MOROS and beyond to create their own reputation management tools, fostering a decentralized approach to security and trust.

(a) Building Access to Capital: MetaCulture bridges Cult, MOROS NET, DarkFi, LunarDAO and future initiatives to Gitcoin while coordinating their ability to support one another.

Gitcoin is Ethereum’s most known and well-capitalized grantmaking hub. It distributes funds through Quadratic Funding (1), an algorithm which assigns funds to projects from a matching pool based on how many donations they received relative to others, rather than the amount any given donor gives.

So, the more donors (which pass the sybil criteria) a project has within a Round relative to others, the higher % of matching funds they receive.

This is the power of coordinating Lunarpunk communities in creating positive sum funding gains, while also leveraging Gitcoin as a platform for why privacy matters.

A few statistics to keep in mind as we head into the remainder of 2024:

-Since launching its Grants Program in 2019, Gitcoin has distributed $56,000,000 in funding to 3,715 projects (2).

-According to Vitalik: “Gitcoin Grants is establishing itself as a significant pillar of the Ethereum ecosystem that more and more projects are relying on for some or all of their support.”

-During Gitcoin Grants 19 this past November, the matching pool for Web3 Open Source Software was $200,000.
The other Round I think DarkFi and LunarDAO would fit is Web3 Community & Education, which also had a $200,000 matching pool last round.

(b) Memetic Warfare (3)

MetaCulture is a path for revitalizing Cult DAO as a perpetual motion funding machine with the memetics to effectively communicate Lunarpunk values at scale.

As communities which share an appreciation for OSS, privacy, and digital sovereignty, our mutual goal should be catalyzing a cultural paradigm shift away from the strangely inverted narrative that, if you are innocent, then you shouldn’t be afraid of being surveilled. For Cult, Moros, DarkFi and LunarDAO, Gitcoin is a hub of passionate, brilliant, and aligned individuals that is open for helping transmit our message that anonymity not only isn’t scary, but should be a normalized default and easily available option for digital communities.

As Phil Zimmerman said in the ’90s, “Privacy is as apple pie as the Constitution.” It takes a massive psyop for generations of people to believe the opposite. MetaCulture activates the value alignment between Solarpunk and Lunarpunk communities, including funding DAOs, in order to create positive sum value for all parties involved.

This funding is utilized to list the MOROS NET Token on both Horizon and OpenHatch. Your community will be able to utilize your token for additional features, such as OpenHatch’s P2P and B2B transactions, for both consumers and businesses.

This includes secure, anonymous, and advanced agreement-based transactions facilitated through a user-friendly interface, enabling functionalities like fundraising, tipping, subscription payments, and much more!

Optionally, and highly requested by whale investors, we offer a feature through ‘Horizon’ that enables untraceable wallet transactions for any ERC20 token. This is specifically tailored for a large and growing group of investors who prioritize privacy in their financial holdings.

As Horizon and OpenHatch expand across multiple chains and platforms, your token will benefit from increased visibility.

In the crypto world, ‘whale’ investors value their privacy, preferring to move tokens without anyone tracking their movements. Horizon offers a solution: an anonymous layer for your community’s token transactions. This ensures everyone can enjoy privacy rights, crucial for maintaining a positive community atmosphere.

When tokens are sold, it can sometimes lead to negativity within the community, with members potentially criticizing each other. By facilitating anonymous transactions, Horizon helps prevent these issues, avoiding more negative spirals that could damage the project and the token’s price. For example, if a team member needs to sell some of their tokens for personal reasons, this shouldn’t become public knowledge and impact the project’s value or investors’ trust. Horizon is dedicated to providing this level of privacy and reassurance.

Moreover, influential figures in the crypto space, known as KOLs, prefer to engage with projects listed on a Centralized Exchange (CEX) for privacy when receiving or selling their reward tokens. Listing your token on Horizon can make your project more attractive to these KOLs, offering them the option to keep transactions anonymous while providing you with the chance for a broader marketing reach.

The ROKO NETWORK project is poised to make a significant impact on the cause of decentralization and provide numerous benefits to the MOROS community.

By leveraging a decentralized network, ROKO NETWORK will contribute to the resilience and robustness of digital infrastructure. This aligns with the core values of MOROS NET, as it reduces reliance on centralized entities that can be points of failure or control.

Innovation in Human-Machine Collaboration: The project’s focus on creating a self-organizing human-machine network will push the boundaries of collaborative innovation. This will not only benefit the MOROS community by providing new tools and systems for decentralized operations but also by setting a precedent for future projects that aim to merge human ingenuity with machine efficiency.

Education and Research: The deep tech research and development aspect of ROKO NETWORK will serve as a knowledge hub for the MOROS community. It will provide educational resources and research findings that can empower individuals to understand and contribute to the field of decentralization.

It’s time for change. It’s time to question why we still rely on a system that was designed for a bygone era. In today’s world, where technology has connected us in unprecedented ways, there’s no reason why every individual shouldn’t have a direct say in the policies and decisions that impact their lives.

At The Other Party, we’re not just pointing out the flaws in the system – we’re offering a solution. Join us in our mission to bring about a true, direct democracy where power is returned to the people.

We’ve garnered over 4.3K stars and 1.1K forks on Github, our YouTube channel boasts more than 4.2K subscribers. Three times grants from Ethereum Foundation. Other grants from Scroll, Loopring, Mina, Optimism, etc.

Multimodality is oncoming, this project may be the first or one of the first but the margins wont be giant, the opportunity that this project presents for the decentralization cause is that it instantiates a standard for this type of communication to be done locally, and not over an API. Data provenance is important. Keep it, store it, dont share it, package it, clean it, and sell it. If were lucky enough people recognize the value of their data that the market demand takes care of us and both utility and money can be generated in a private way, where human generated data is only given consensually, and compensated fairly.
