Grant Ships is currently wrapping up its pilot program - having distributed 90,000 ARB to Arbitrum Gaming projects -  and is ready to expand.  

We used our novel decentralized grant distribution mechanism to fund gaming projects that are building or migrating to the Arbitrum One chain. All applications, approvals, key events and fund distributions are recorded onchain and easily viewable on the Grant Ships app.

Grant Ships provides a decentralized, DAO-powered grants program that allows Ship Operators (subDAOs within Arbitrum) to make grant allocations in a transparent and fully accountable manner.  Ship Operators are held accountable by DAO and community votes which rate Operator performance. Performance ratings translate into relative funding levels in future rounds, with low performance resulting in being replaced by a new Ship Operator from the DAO.

The contracts that Grant Ships is built on will allow a truly decentralized grants program and DAO voting can be used to budget and allocate funds as sensed by the DAO in real time.
