Grants

[igorline]

Hey!
As I'm currently very busy with buidl, I seek to find some help on preparation to apply for grants in January 2019.

Currently we might be seeking granting opportunities related to 3 of our project/activities:

1. Makerfolio v2
   We need to prepare materials explaining the idea, some sketches for version 2, which will include mobile app, alerts, etc. Initially was thinking to apply for granting from stable.fund
2. Kyodo
   That project should be familiar to everyone. Seeking granting from Aragon.
3. Educational articles with infographics explaining blockchain concepts.
   As we are really into researching the things and trying to explain everything in an easy and understandable way, it would be great to write a collection of articles explaining basic blockchain concepts, cryptography, scaling layer1/layer2, etc. As an example I would refer for our two nice articles on TCR and State channels:

https://medium.com/decentfund/can-foam-replace-gps-and-google-maps-with-new-geospatial-standard-for-ethereum-blockchain-c372a0ab0ad6

Here we can try to receive granting from Ethereum Community Fund

I think we can start with google sheet researching on who else is providing grants, what are requirements to apply for grants, prepare checklist of what we have and what we need to collect, etc.

I also post here list of the resources I know related to granting:

Great! I think it's better to communicate here on who's doing what just not to duplicate each other's work.
