In the past few months, I have created a grant fund for onchain poetry. Through degen tips, donations and mint-fee splits - from myself and many others - I have almost enough to do a monthly grant round of an equivalent of 100 USDC. Initially, I wanted to award the grants based on selection, nomination and voting, but I have struggled to make that a reality. I have awarded one grant so far, am now working on the second. However, I will be pivoting in the next month to do the awarding via Rounds. The first grantee can be found here: https://paragraph.xyz/@trpplffct/wps206 #retropgf

Nice, arjan. Rounds should help you with admin etc and help consistency.

Thanks, Brad. I hope so. But the biggest challenge I run into is lowering the threshhold for participation.

ah, I wonder if rounds could be a help maybe casting about it (at least as youre new) or others who are fans of rounds. Maybe brings credibility. But I get it poetry is a hard one—more niche. I wonder if you could help people who are open but havent done it—kind of a write your first poem round. Just thinking out loud to try to help.

It's more about the attitude of the poets. I did something in April with Degen tips, and got a lot of tiphunters/farmes to play. That's not the intention. I want poets to participate. Or emerging poets. But they can be very introverted when it comes to things like this. So, getting them to participate is the biggest challenge.
