Howdy Chefs!

Over the past few months, we've concluded our quadratic funding rounds and are embarking on a new chapter of Potlock's open funding stack. We're evolving from quadratic funding to robust pots that support a wide variety of funding mechanisms, and hyperfocusing our efforts around the mission of Funding AGI. Our goal is to build an end-to-end system that can autonomously allocate capital and grants better than humans. As part of this initiative, we've launched AI-PGF (AI-Public Goods Funding), a program and movement innovating at the intersection of AI, Web3, and public goods funding.
