Hey community! Here's our monthly update sharing everything we shipped in January. We've been busy building new capabilities, improving performance, and squashing bugs across the platform.
Highlights
Integrated Payout Disbursement System
We built a complete payout management system that transforms the Payouts page from a passive tracking tool into an active capital disbursement interface. Program managers can now select multiple projects, configure payout amounts per milestone, and create Safe transactions directly from Karma. The system tracks disbursement status and history per project, with full visibility into what was paid, when, and via which transaction.
AI Prompt Management
Program admins can now manage AI evaluation prompts directly within our platform instead of through external tools. We've retained Langfuse for tracing and tracking while making prompt configuration more accessible. Admins can also re-evaluate all applications with an updated prompt in one click.
Ecosystem-Level Impact Metrics for Filecoin
We added support for ecosystem-wide metrics tracking for Filecoin. This includes importing data from parquet files to display aggregate indicators like daily active clients, total deals, data stored, and network revenue on the community impact page. This is a shift from per-project metrics to ecosystem-level visibility. You can see all the metrics here https://www.karmahq.xyz/community/filecoin/impact
OSO Integration for Optimism Impact Data
We rebuilt our Open Source Observer (OSO) integration from scratch to fetch TVL and transaction fee data for Optimism projects. All data now has proper tracking and visualization on the impact tab https://www.karmahq.xyz/community/optimism/impact
Targeted Reviewer Notifications
Reviewer email notifications are now smarter. If reviewers are assigned to specific applications, only those assigned reviewers receive notifications. If no reviewers are assigned, all program reviewers get notified as before. This reduces notification noise significantly.
Application Reviewer Assignment
Admins can now assign specific reviewers to individual funding applications. The applications table includes new columns for app reviewers and milestone reviewers, displayed as multi-select dropdowns for easy assignment management.
Donation System Enhancements
We expanded the donation feature with chain-specific payout addresses. Project owners can now enable donations and configure separate payout addresses for Base, Optimism, Celo, Lisk, Polygon, and Scroll. We also added a "My Donations" page in user profiles to show donation history.
Application Form Gating
Programs can now be publicly visible while requiring an access code to submit applications. This is useful for invite-only programs where admins share codes with specific applicants.
Other Improvements
- Payment distribution enhancements: Admins now configure payout settings once (address, amount, milestones) and simply select options during disbursement
- Explore projects page refactor: Cleaner, more intuitive browsing experience
- Community page filters: Added more filtering options for better navigation
- Application search: Added search functionality for applications on whitelabel sites
- Funding opportunities tab: New tab on community pages showing active funding programs with direct navigation
- Program onboarding UX: Improved the entire flow for creating and configuring grant programs
- Application editing post-approval: Community admins can now update post-approval information
- Inline approve/reject forms: Replaced modal popups with inline forms for faster application review
- Gas fee tracking: Now storing gas used as a new impact indicator for linked contract addresses
- Karma profile link in applications: Custom field for applicants to link existing Karma profiles, improving project sync accuracy
- Rejection reason now optional: Reviewers no longer required to provide a reason when rejecting
- Program registry moved offchain: Simplified by removing blockchain writes and using our database directly
- Simplified dates in program registry: Cleaner date handling for funding programs
- Daily donation summaries: Discord notifications when projects receive donations or link payout addresses
- Locked funds display: Shows vesting lock status when users claim funds on whitelabel
- Sentry exception tracking: Added to both frontend applications for better error monitoring
- Dependencies audit: Evaluated and updated outdated dependencies in gap-indexer for security
Bug Fixes
We had about 40 bug fixes go into production in January!
