Over the past month, we shipped some impactful updates to Karma's platform — from compliance infrastructure to a completely rethought admin experience. Here's everything that's new.
KYC/KYB Integration We integrated with compliance provider Treova so programs can verify grantees before disbursing funds. This has been a long-standing need for programs operating in regulated environments, and it's now live.
Stripe Onramp Funders can now support projects using fiat and card payments. This removes one of the biggest friction points for funders who aren't web3-native — no wallet required.
API Key Authentication AI agents and scripts can now authenticate with Karma using long-lived API keys, enabling programmatic access without browser-based login flows. This is a foundational piece of our agentic platform.
Control Center The payouts page has been reimagined into a full Control Center. Admins can now track KYB status, agreement signing, invoice status, milestone progress, and disbursements — all in one place.
User Dashboard When you log in, you now land on a personalized dashboard showing your projects, applications, and activity — not a generic homepage.
Team Management Applicants can now add team members to their application, so the person who submitted it isn't the only one who can track and update it.
Application Editing & Revision Workflow Admins can request revisions on submitted applications, and applicants can edit and resubmit — no more starting from scratch.
Pending Verification Tab Milestone reviewers now have a dedicated tab showing everything awaiting verification, making it easy to see what needs attention at a glance.
Grant Verification Gating Program admins can prevent unverified projects from adding grants to their profile, keeping program data accurate and clean.
Email Notifications on Submission Applicants now receive a confirmation email when their application is submitted. No more wondering if it went through.
Funding Allocation vs. Distribution Tracking Dashboards now show how much was granted versus how much has actually been distributed for each project — a distinction that matters.
Milestone Review on Project Profile Reviewers can now verify milestones directly from the project profile page, not just the admin panel.
LLMs.txt We added AI-friendly documentation so LLMs can better understand and interact with Karma — part of our broader work to make the platform accessible to AI agents.
Admin Dashboard Redesign A fresh, modern admin dashboard that surfaces the most important information upfront with a cleaner layout.
Browse Applications Redesign The whitelabel browse page got a full visual overhaul — filter chips, improved cards, skeleton loading states, and a more polished overall feel.
Project Profile Page Redesign Updated project profiles with cleaner design and better information hierarchy.
Projects Page Enhancements Better filtering, including a new "Raising Funds" filter, plus visual feedback when filters are applied.
Role Tags in Whitelabel Users can now see their role — admin, reviewer, or applicant — displayed clearly within the whitelabel app.
Smarter Navigation "Applications" is now a default nav item for all tenants, and new admin helper buttons make getting around faster.
A lot of this shipped directly from conversations with our users and community. If you have ideas on how we can make Karma even better, reply here or join our Telegram at t.me/karmahq — we're listening.
