These programs have been categorized into \"top-down type,\" \"bottom-up type,\" and \"QF type (algorithmic type).\" The findings highlighted differences in funding distribution methods across grants programs, suggesting the need for diverse approaches to support a range of projects effectively.\n\nhttps://research.fracton.ventures/reports/a-retrospective-quantitative-review-of-crypto-grants-programs/", "hidden": true, "question": "Describe your previous work or plans related to the Web3 grants ecosystem.", "questionId": 1}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "My project creates value for the Web3 grants ecosystem by providing a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of various grants programs, which can inform the design and implementation of more effective funding mechanisms.

This, in turn, supports a healthier and more sustainable ecosystem, enabling a broader range of initiatives to thrive.\n\nIn future plan, when someone launches grants program, the programs can manage for complementing QF by basing on our research.
