Description

Karma is an on-chain protocol built by Karma HQ that lets grant recipients create a persistent project profile, publish milestones and updates via blockchain attestations, and build a transparent reputation across ecosystems. Ecosystems use Karma to fund projects transparently. Builders use it to share progress, earn reputation, and get discovered for more opportunities.

Impact

Karma GAP transforms how public-goods and ecosystem funding is managed by shifting from fragmented, manual grant-reporting to a transparent, portable, and verifiable on-chain workflow. This strengthens grantee accountability and reputation, empowers funders with clear, accessible data on project progress, and paves the way for new tooling and analytics built atop standardized on-chain grant-data—thereby improving capital allocation and ultimately enabling more effective ecosystem growth.
