Dear Community,

We are resubmitting our proposal due to issues with the UX indicating enacment 3 years from now. The previous proposal can be viewed [here](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/4).

Ordum is a public good grants aggregator for the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. This proposal addresses the funding of R&D.

**Introduction**

There is no existing software besides Gitcoin to publish, apply for and manage grants. Gitcoin focuses on a quadratic funding model, while there is a need for an overall indexer and management software for grants in web3.

After reading the Builders Program [post](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/builders-programs/226) on the Polkadot Forum and speaking with other members of the community (including councillors, Web3 Foundation, and members of Shokunin Network), it was evident that a grants aggregator is imperative for bringing projects into the ecosystem as well as scaling it.

In order to construct a rich and independent environment of public goods and DAOs, it is fundamental for teams to easily find and acquaint themselves with treasuries and foundations.

**Problem**

- Treasuries / foundations(eg. Polkadot Treasury) are burning funds as there are not enough projects to support. 

- Grants information and guidelines within the ecosystems are scattered and therefore difficult to find (there are only 2 places where we have a somewhat overview of these; Polkadot/Kusama documentation and Web3 Foundation Github). 

- It is difficult to publicly track (grant) funding for different stages of project development. This has previously resulted in conflicts within the community.

- There isn’t a unified public record to privately / publicly manage and display a grant recipient’s quality and outcome of delivery (scattered documentation). 

- With GOV2 incoming, further research is required on tracking proposals and deliverables in order to determine the appropriate UX. 

**Solution**

Success for Ordum is the deliverance of all milestones and a V1 POC of a public goods grant aggregator.
**
A dapp which contains all grants from the ecosystems.**

- Index data from treasuries in the ecosystem by building custom APIs(Subsquids) for tracking proposals 
- Integrate Github in the front end for tracking and submitting non-treasury grants 
- Building and maintaining light clients for quick data retrivals, security and low loading times 
- Enable log in with multiple DID services, Github and Wallets

**Minting of non-transferable NFTs as “certificates” for completed milestones. Each token would contain information on what was executed and how it was evaluated.**

- Ordum will be built on Phala to leverege the chains privacy capabilities and Phat smart contracts 
- Create a connection between DID (foundation)–> Phala Smart Contract–> Non-transferable NFT–>DID (recipient) 
- Design a custom type of RMRK non-transferable NFT, stored on Crust, containing reports from the foundations on milestone delivery
**
Delivery of milestones, grant applications and funding are displayed on a team’s profile for transparency.**

- Front end displaying funding amounts and certificates within a roadmap

**Issuing surveys and analyzing / feedback data for the purpose of aggregating and managing treasury grants in the most optimal way.**

- Design the optimal UX through collaboration with other teams in the ecosystem

Requested funding 78,804 USD // 2770 KSM
Kusama rate EMA7 as per 12th of December 2022, 11.00 (and reimburstment of submission and decision deposit)

We look forward to hearing your feedback.


- The proposal is about funding R&D for a grants aggregator called Ordum.
- The problem is that there are not enough projects to support treasuries/foundations, grants information is scattered and difficult to find, and there is no unified public record for tracking grant funding and outcomes.
- The solution is to create a dapp that indexes data from treasuries, integrates with Github, builds and maintains light clients, and allows login with multiple services.
- Non-transferable NFTs will be minted as "certificates" for completed milestones.
- The progress of milestones, grant applications, and funding will be displayed on a team's profile for transparency.
