Summary
- Funding mechanisms move toward programmable transparency: onchain allocation with clear eligibility, milestone‑based releases, and public dashboards for outcomes.
- Identity and governance primitives enable equitable participation. Quadratic and conviction voting variants rely on sybil‑resistant credentials and legible deliberation trails to earn legitimacy.
- Diaspora and global allies are a distinct capital source. Instruments that blend donations, impact credits, and yield‑bearing stakes can mobilize wider participation while preserving accountability.
- Stewardship matters: universities, open‑source foundations, and civic orgs provide institutional memory, code maintenance, and neutral facilitation for contested decisions.
- Pilots should pair municipalities with communities and researchers to quickly evaluate incentives, capture learnings, and iterate policy.
