ITS HERE! Today is launch day for Onchain Capital Allocation Handbook: Explorers edition.

Everytime you make a decision about how to spend money, you are allocating capital. At scale, VCs and grant administrators are allocating billions of $$ of capital.

Onchain Capital Allocation: Explorer Edition invites you on an exhilarating journey through the frontier of resource allocation. This is your roadmap to the future of finance, where traditional wisdom meets blockchain innovation in a dazzling dance of possibilities.

Imagine a world where capital flows as freely as ideas, where transparency isn’t just a buzzword but a foundational principle, and where communities shape their financial destinies. That world is no longer a distant dream—it’s unfolding right before our eyes, and you’re about to become a part of it.

Inside, you’ll discover: • A treasure trove of funding mechanisms, from Participatory Budgeting to AutoPGF, that transform how we raise and allocate resources. • Decentralized governance models that make democracy more accessible, alongside contribution metrics that recognize value in new ways. • Cooperative approaches like digital-age ROSCAs and innovative revshare models, breathing life into community-driven economics. • Real-world examples from pioneers like @ArtizenFund , @hypercerts , @gitcoin, @OctantApp, @1HiveOrg, and @Optimism @retropgf , turning theory into practice in onchain allocation.

This book is more than information—it’s an invitation to join a vibrant community shaping the future of finance. Whether you’re a developer, academic, or believer in innovation’s power for good, this revolution has a place for you.

The future is calling, Explorer. It’s time to answer.
