Metrics Garden Labs is an Impact Studio founded by LauNaMu that contributes to the adoption and advancement of Impact Assessment in web3 through publicly available research, experiments, resources, workshops, etc.
The main goal of Metrics Garden Labs is to advance the field of Impact Assessment in the web3 space, and through this improve the funding of Public Goods.
Currently, we're developing our first open experiment: Metrics Garden Protocol - A tool to attest to derived impact on-chain, and leverage insights from the Superchain Collective that can be used to inform decision-making in Retroactive Rounds.
Our platform is solving the lack of verifiable and structured data from the beneficiaries of projects that enable the growth of the Superchain and that are valuable to the Optimism Collective. Metrics Garden Protocol expects that this experiment will serve to explore what type of contributions and artifacts have been valuable to whom and most importantly in which context. This experiment explores the avenues in which qualitative data can serve to inform new systems and the improvement of existing ones over time.
Additionally, once this data is available, funders and project owners will be able to understand if the current incentives they are pushing for with their funding programs are leading to the results they were interested in.
What this looks like:
In the short term, our MVP is launching in the Farcaster protocol in mid-May for the following reasons:
This experiment was selected to be 1 of 15 projects participating in the EAS Launchpad Cohort 1, out of 155 applicants.
Funding received will be used to cover the technical and operational costs of this experiment.
Additional improvements we look to introduce to the MVP in the long-term are:
