Gm,
we at Muqa are looking for a solution for starting a grant program, sponsored by the government, for journalism. @samajammin told me that clr.fund will integrate MACI to become the first privacy preserving onchain PGF solution.
We are already working on using Gitcoin’s stack for regular municipal grant programs where privacy isn’t important. However, one of the grant themes, journalism, is where we are stuck on the problem of privacy and collusion.
The problem with journalism is that influence over a media outweighs the cost of funding for certain types of entities. Good example are politicians and corporations whose success might depend a lot on public stance, and manipulating it would create disproportionate value to them.
We need a QF solution for grant programs that will make it impossible to bribe voters or know who donated to whom.
