This repo keeps track of all of the CUCK. expenses and grants. Follow the instructions below to submit an expense or grant applicaiton.
CUCK.'s purpose is to:
Rebuke the church, cuck the state, and out compete big businesses with censorship resistant public goods.
We exist to reduce our collective reliance on committees, and cuck the remaining ones.
Fuck the status quo. Fuck monopolies. Fuck committees. Fuck banks. Fuck token voting. Fuck alignment. Fuck number go up. Fuck maximalism. Fuck big companies.
One of the ways that it is helping this effort is to simply give away all of the commission that is earned by the validator to grantees who are pursuing similar goals.
The process for filing for an expense or grant is described in further detail below.
To apply for a grant, make a PR to the appriate directory in this repo
./grants with a markdown file that follows the example format. It should
cover what is novel about your project, why its important (bonus points for not
being cringe), and lastly what and how much money is needed. If the amount of
money is flexible, please note that.
Some ideal grants are mentioned below, but these are not firm requirements.
There is an already built rollup that doesn't have a lot or any funding that wants to have gas money. Note that in these examples, funds won't actually be transfered to the grantee. Instead, funds will be set aside in an account that will grant feegrant access to the grantee's account(s).
Funds to help pay for the development of a novel or experimental technology, especially ones that wouldn't otherwise get funded. Ideally the tech help push forward the values of CUCK.. Bonus points for based rollups, privacy tech, and gossiping improvements.
Retrospective Research Grants. There was already some well written and received research that helps cuck committees in some way (could be privacy tech!). Since the grant is retrospective, the goal of these grants is to help align the researcher with the rest of the Celestia ecosystem, and encourage others to build on the same research.
Similar to the above, but for research that has yet to be done. Again, ideally this research directly contributes to the goals of CUCK..
Audits that help establish confidence in important opensource work. Again, ideally this research directly contributes to the goals of CUCK..
Expenses will alsmost exclusively be filed by the members of CUCK. who are actually paying to run the hardware. For the time being, no expenses can be filed that spend money on the time or effort it takes to run the validator. Funds can only be expensed if there was a material costs to an individual directly related to running the validator. These reports must include receipts of some form.
Examples include paying for cloud services, or buying hardware to run the validator or nodes relating to the validator. Ideally, expenses are almost always pre-approved.
