Kiwi has three main goals:

1) We want become more financially sustainable. 

That’s why we are exploring different revenue streams. At the moment, we are working on improving the onchain ad, which already generated some small revenue from our community members promoting their products. 

2) We want to grow the app’s usage.

We plan to improve the UX, onboarding, and user retention. It will take lots of experiments and developers' time before we nail it.

3) We want to harden the protocol.

Kiwi is an app that’s built on top of a P2P protocol. 
It needs constant maintenance with more and more people running nodes and using the product. Our goal here is to harden the protocol such that we are as good as possible prepared for when more people will start using us.

We want to use the Gitcoin grant to cover the costs of working on Kiwi since we are bootstrapped and live off revenue & grants.
