Panel on Impact Measurement Summary
Panel on Impact Measurement Summary
Key points from the impact measurement panel include self-regulating mechanisms without evaluations, considering impact in relation to cost, using the most significant change technique for evaluation in web3 projects, moving beyond popularity contests for funding allocation mechanisms, negotiating impactful deals rather than offering free money, advocating for binary or quantitative evaluation metrics, and the importance of involving web2 evaluators in web3 projects to avoid past mistakes.
Amazing panel on impact measurement with @bbeats1 , @0xyNaMu & @feemschats Some key points i remember off the top of my head - ideally we shouldn't have evaluation as the mechanism is self regulating An example is @ProtocolGuild which adds ethereum core devs to their list
Amazing discussion on the ins and outs of impact measurement. Where things stand in the web3 space right now as well, where we hope to get to one day as well as the tools to use 馃
