The grant will fund activities related to the development of critical collaborative protocols, prototypes, and infrastructures that enable civic engagement and interoperable civic utilities. Specifically, the grant will support:

- Research and development of attestation-based solutions for various civic engagement use cases, such as local community trust networks, reputation systems, skill attestations, funding, and evaluations.

- Enhancement of decentralized knowledge graph databases, AI-driven interfaces, and additional features to support community collaboration and collective intelligence within the Community Knowledge Networks.

- Integration of the Civic Attestation Network and Community Knowledge Networks to create a comprehensive stack of technologies that support regenerative civic engagement.

- Prototyping and testing of the Mycelial Civic Knowledge Network with diverse communities to validate its potential for enabling multi-agent coordination and deep social change.

These activities align with the OpenCivics Consortium's focus on funding projects that address the diverse stack of collaborative protocols needed for successful multi-agent coordination, such as identity and attestation, decentralized project management, systems-aware strategic alignment processes, and participatory governance and learning.
