FundVille

This project is a community-focused, Web3-enabled economic ecosystem designed to pool financial, human, and social resources into a decentralized structure that empowers underserved or economically challenged areas to activate, manage, and grow their local resources sustainably. Built on a blockchain-based platform, it combines a multi-layered framework that includes governance, capital, local currency, cost-benefit tracking, and community cooperation to create a self-sustaining economy that incentivizes local engagement and investment. At its core, the Compass Layer establishes a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) where community members, businesses, and investors collaboratively vote on priorities and allocate resources to ensure accountability, alignment, and shared purpose. Through the Capital Layer, global and local investors can contribute funds to vetted projects in a tokenized marketplace, directing “clean capital” into initiatives that drive local business, infrastructure, and social impact aligned with long-term goals like the UN Sustainable Development Goals. To foster local economic resilience, the Currency Layer introduces a City or Community Token, a locally backed currency that incentivizes residents to reinvest within the community, rewarding actions like volunteering or sustainable practices. By circulating within the local economy, this token not only promotes trade and social good but also retains financial value in the community, creating a circular economy that reduces dependency on external funding. Altogether, this project leverages blockchain transparency, democratic governance, and tokenized incentives to build a resilient, community-centered economy that thrives through mutual support and local empowerment.

We integrated Allo Protocol to power flexible allocation strategies within the DAO, enabling programmable funding and precise allocation of pooled capital toward projects with the highest community and social impact value. Allocation strategies are structured to support Quadratic Funding (QF), allowing community members to contribute small amounts that the protocol matches exponentially based on popularity, encouraging broad-based support and engagement from the grassroots level. In this project, we developed a commitment pool where funding would be pooled at once from institutions and then extracted by developers / protocols in exchange of commitment of their services / goods. Such allows upfront cash for protocols to grow while also incentivizing the consumption of the local economy.
