✦ What is DAOIP-5?

DAOIP-5 is a metadata schema developed by DAOstar to standardize the web3 grants ecosystem to improve transparency, interoperability, and a whole lot more. The DAOIP-5 API hosted by OSO is publicly available for builder to begin integrating. Through adoption of the standard we can improve the grants experience for both grantors and grantees.

Imagine being able to easily and quickly understand the impact being made by your grants program compared to other programs ✨

✦ Why DAOIP-5?

DAOIP-5 is designed to make the web3 grants ecosystem better for everyone. With one flexible standard, we can make transparency and interoperability the norm for grants with less manual reporting and tracking.

Grantees

DAOIP-5 empowers grantees with the ability to connect to previous grant application data to streamline the grant application process and easily show historical impact for qualification in more grant programs. The standard lets grantees apply through a common application that covers 80% of grant programs in seconds.

Grantors

DAOIP-5 empowers grantors by providing access to a shared applicant data pool, reducing grant farming and enabling quick verification of historical impact across programs. It enhances interoperability among grant tools, helping managers avoid vendor lock-in, and connects to OSO for deeper insights into grant program impact.
