OceanDAO Grants

Hello, Ocean Community!

DAOs have been capturing the crypto zeitgeist over the last two quarters at record speed. As the term DAO becomes commonplace in the blockchain-verse, it is incredible that we, as an OceanDAO community, are at the forefront of these novel coordination experiments.

With the shared goal of leading Ocean Protocol down the path of self-sustainability, the quality and the turnout in OceanDAO Round 7 has been tremendous. Round 7 saw the most proposals submitted to date! This turnout comes as no surprise to our active community who have been continually collaborating on discord and engaging in our weekly Ocean Town Hall calls.

For up-to-date information on getting started with OceanDAO, we invite you to get involved and learn more about Ocean’s community-curated funding on the OceanDAO website.

The goal is to grow the DAO each round. We encourage the Ocean ecosystem to apply or re-apply AND to vote! Thank you to all of the participants, voters, and proposers.
