Announcing Karma and funding round
We are building Karma - a reputation system for DAO contributors. The DAO ecosystem is growing exponentially with hundreds of DAOs being formed and thousands of contributors participating in this ecosystem. This brings with it a number of opportunities and challenges. DAOs struggle to understand who their most active contributors are and contributors don’t have a way to showcase their work, get rewarded for their work and get discovered by other DAOs. Our goal is to build a reputation system ...

Karma governance forum plugin supported by ENS DAO grant
Distinguishing signal from noise in DAO governance forums can be difficult for even the most active contributors. A useful data point when considering a post in a governance forum is the delegated voting power a particular poster holds. It is accepted that the top (~30) Delegates have limited time and attention to direct towards building the necessary context to be able to follow threads on proposal discussions. In the ENS forum for example, posts can have in excess of 50 comments. Adding mor...

We are excited to formally announce our collaboration with the GitcoinDAO. Gitcoin has started using Karma’s reputation system to power their Steward health cards - a tool that provides valuable metrics for their stewards and improve the transparency and accountability of the steward’s work.
We made some major enhancements to our reputation system to aggregate and curate contributor activity at a more granular level. Some of the data points we curate include
Snapshot voting stats
On-chain voting stats
Proposals created and discussed by Stewards on the forum
Posts created and discussed by Stewards on the forum
Stewards and other token holders can now look at the recent 30 day activity and the lifetime activity. Some of the benefits of these stats include helping token holders (re)delegate their tokens to most active stewards and stewards stay more engaged and maintain a good reputation.
This was a huge engineering effort and we are excited to announce these features are now available for all the DAOs we have integrated and will integrate in the future!
One of the benefits of using Karma’s reputation system is that DAOs can choose to customize the contributor reputation logic for their DAO. Gitcoin’s steward health card utilizes this feature by consuming Karma’s aggregated contributor data and calculating a health score unique to their DAO. You can see the custom health score calculation here. You can find all the stewards on both Karma leaderboard and Gitcoin health cards.
We are honored to be able to collaborate with one of the largest DAOs in the ecosystem and help them solve this problem. We are excited to continue our collaboration and release more exciting features in the coming weeks, stay tuned!
