Community projects

If you’ve got an idea for improving the MakerDAO community resources, we can provide up to 5,000 Dai to help make it happen.

Examples

Community member @asterix proposed an expansion to the transparency dashboard which highlights data on Maker’s community initiatives like hackathons and meetups.

@scottrepreneur proposed a bot for Maker’s chat that can respond to commands and provide community members with resources or blockchain data.
