is building a web3 rewards platform that incentivizes users with SOL, USDC or NFTs to shop at top online retail affiliates. Their model allows merchants to gain high-quality customers, and users to earn on their everyday purchases.
Today, we’re opening up early access to Stockpile V2 for select projects
If you’re a project that wants to be pre-listed and available at launch, shoot us a DM!
See you soon,
@solana

Developers get millions distributed through hackathons and grants on Solana.
Creators only taste a fraction of that pie.
It's time to level things up ⚡️
Excited to welcome a new member of our team!

Any funds won from the Community Choice contest will be contributed to fundraisers on Stockpile
Show us some love :)
About a year ago,
- Stockpile as we know it was born
- SOL was around $11
- Sentiment was near its lowest
Thank you to all who have stuck with us, and the ecosystem at large throughout this journey ❤️
Sending love to all Solana validators and core contributors during this rough period.
Their hard work is why we’re GMI.
Let’s come back stronger, like we always do!
A decentralized network restart is now underway on Solana mainnet-beta. 80% of validators (by stake weight) must agree to the restart for it to be successful.
All Solana mainnet-beta validators should follow the restart instructions linked below.
DecentraGrants voting is open!
Starting today, you have the power to help distribute the $5k matching pool across six projects.
🧵Here's how you can get involved:
We're teaming up with
@OneMoonGate
!
We'll be using their custom wallet adapter to seamlessly connect wallets like MetaMask to Stockpile.
Ultimately, this will benefit the ecosystem by bringing Ethereum liquidity to public goods on Solana.
Shoutout to

Community based crowdfunding is ripe for disruption. Some platforms, such as Kickstarter charge a 5% fee + additional charges from payment rails such as Stripe.
@GoStockpile
eliminates a ton of unnecessary friction by creating an onchain solution using Solana. We like this one!
This week’s Stockpile Superstars was a big one!

The application period for DecentraGrants has been extended!
Builders have another week to apply to join the grant round for a chance at a share of the $5k pool.
Stockpile Season Kickoff officially ended earlier this week.
With that said, we’ve released our official recap of the grant round!
Here’s a quick overview🧵
✨ZenRepublic✨
@ZenRepublicNDM
is building a hub of web3 games and entertainment, with the mission of stepping away from the primitive gambling and ponzi games and bringing the fun back through whitelabel games, ultimately enriching the holder experience for NFT projects.
For example:
DecentraGrants (
@deanslistDAO
) wants to distribute $5k for DAO tooling, so builders submit their projects to join the round.
If accepted, they then accept contributions in a crowdfunding format as votes for them to receive a share of the total $5k.
2/ 🏆 The Grizzlython Grand Champion is
@BackAnUnderdog
, a platform that allows anyone to seamlessly integrate dynamic NFTs into products and turn the blockchain into a shared data layer.
Join us on Friday at 10:30am EST for a chat about supporting open-source DAO tooling via the DecentraGrants program, with guests from
@deanslistDAO
!
We hope to see you there.
Starting today, we'll be fielding applications from projects interested in joining
All a project needs to do is create a fundraiser on Stockpile, and apply on the funding round page (last tweet)
From there, we'll review your project, and respond within 3 days.
Happy Friday!
It's time for another Stockpile Superstars, this week covering NFT related projects!
We took a look at

Connecting developers with other developers and projects with on-chain profiles. No more toiling around on Discord to find other developers to work with.
While we will be prioritizing open-source and public goods projects, we invite all projects to apply!
As of right now, applications are open. If there are any questions, don't hesitate to DM us!
You can find the funding round here:
“Open-Grants” refers to our implementation of quadratic funding
Quadratic Funding, or QF, is a novel way to distribute a pool of capital via community voting.
It’s designed to use monetary contributions from the public as “votes” for projects/proposals to receive a share.
This week’s Stockpile Superstars on
@solarplex_xyz
is up!
We took a look at
@ZenRepublicNDM
and
@spire_fyi
! Two projects making huge strides in data analytics and gaming on Solana.
Give it a look, and show these projects some love!
2) We’ve added badges!
We’ve just shipped badges for different events on Stockpile (like you’re first contribution). We’ll also be retroactively airdropping badges to early users of the platform :)
s/o to
@BackAnUnderdog
for making this a breeze
If you're interested in voting for a project, you need to do two things:
1) Create an account
2) Mint a Civic Pass
Contributions made without satisfying these criteria will still be sent, but not counted as a vote.
Voting will last until January 1st, 2024 at 12:30pm.
The Grizzlython project directory is now live!
Check out the next generation of Solana startups. Winners will be announced in early April. 🔥

Votes are simply contributions. Your votes, whether $1 or $100, will help distribute the $1k pool.
Thanks to all the builders who participated in the Solana Hyperdrive Hackathon! 💫
There were a record number of submissions and judging is now underway.

These are just a few of the reasons we build on Solana.
We here for the long haul, supporting the development of projects that make this ecosystem great.

@BlockrideNFT
is revolutionizing transportation through blockchain-based ownership. They aim to cater to essential daily activities like commuting, while solving underlying problems in the transportation system.
While we plan to do many things with this model, we’ll leave that for another day.
We hope this thread gave you a better idea of open-grants, and the concept of quadratic funding.
