Summary
We’re requesting $1400 USDGLO to fund the ongoing development and prototyping of the Research Cookie Jar — a minimal MVP designed to coordinate and fund small research projects onchain. This tool is being actively developed by contributors from the Greenpill Dev Guild and integrated into the Allo ecosystem.
Purpose of the Grant
This funding will support:
- Cookie Jar multichain contract deployment
- Integration testing for whitelist logic and frontend UX
- Refinement of MVP spec, templates, and research coordination flow
- Design and communication efforts around the Research Raid pilot
What’s Already Happening
Cookie Jar contracts deployed to Celo testnet- UI live and tested via cookie-jar-v3.vercel.app
- MVP spec published and circulating
- Lore, coordination deck, and Allo Research Raid structure launched
- Whitelist access confirmed; Hypercert access scoped for later
- Collaborating with core Cookie Jar team (Michael, Rowdy, BoldPanther)
The community is currently ranking potential Research Tracks via Slido.
Results here: Slido - Research Track Ranking
Once top tracks are confirmed, a post will go live on the Allo Research Forum inviting people to join the first Research Raid and submit proposals.
Use of Funds
- Multichain contract deployment (Celo testnet complete, CREATE2 under review)
- UX and integration testing of new frontend components
- Development of templates and Raid participation guides
- Coordination, docs, and public-facing materials (HackMD, Canva, Forum posts)
