Transcript

1. Fund distribution experiment for Civictech projects via Quadratic Funding beyond brutcratic grant allocation to mechanism based governnance taka (Shunsuke Takagi), DigDAO contributer
2. Quick intro: about me - Taka (Shunsuke Takagi) 󰏦 - founded and failed Civichat which is chatbot to find eligible social welfare services in Japan (e.g., national insurance, scholarship, grant for got child) - interested in: the government as a platform - Conteributed: Plurality Tokyo, and Funding the Commons Tokyo - https://twitter.com/0xcommune
3. about DigDAO? - kind of community for who interested for “governmentality 統治技術”(how to governance, rationality of governance) beyond crypto-currency - the community started from web3 study group in Digital Agency in Government of Japan https://www.digdao.jp/en/
4. - kind of money distribution mechanism as funding like crowd-funding - donation-maching via quadratic formula - Projects supported by the community, rather than those selected by a few bureaucrats, receive funding. - it’s could be useful for Civictech (public goods as an application layer) FYI: What’s the Quadratic Funding https://www.wtfisqf.com/
5. - kind of money distribution mechanism as funding like crowd-funding - donation-maching via quadratic formula - Projects supported by the community, rather than those selected by a few bureaucrats, receive funding. - it’s could be useful for Civictech (public goods as an application layer) FYI: What’s the Quadratic Funding https://www.wtfisqf.com/ anyway, we’ll have a Quadratic Funding workshop after noon!
6. Problem: Civictech as digital public goods is not sustainable as finance - (digital) public goods is hard to make money - government funding as comercial company(become a Govtech) is hard to into as a startup - almost Civictech projects are “hobby” by IT worker - there no full-time civic hacker
7. We’ve host Fund distribution experiment - Duration: July 17-24 - Target: 18 Civictech projects - Matching Pool: 10万円 （0.8K$USD） - Where budget came from?: (currently depending on)Donation - crowdfunded: 1200$(18万円) - unique donors: 103ppl

11. Listed project examples 18 Civictech projects
13. - Mechanism-Based Governance: transparency and fast fund distribution - Supporter-Driven Distribution: Projects supported by the community, rather than those selected by a few bureaucrats, receive funding. - Addressing Niche Needs: even niche projects receive funding, based more on donor count than donation amount. Quadratic Funding（QF）, How was works
14. Mechanism-Based Governance Matching donations are a new participatory donation method that reflects the values of more people. our services targeted a student. so, in normal fund distribution we’ve underrated. however, in QF could be fix this!

17. What’s the future of the government look like IMO - Limited government? or, Big government? no, maybe kind of a platform - building and experiment the mechanism to coordinate among citizen
18. - kind of this experiment should do by the government - however, Ask not why nobody is doing this. You are I’m the "nobody"! cheers https://g0v.us/ So, we did it! - the public goods is hard to alive by their nature. We need your support; foundation, government… Closing see the project details or, contact us! takagishunsuke1129@gmail.com
