IDriss is a community focused on building tools and consumer apps around strong crypto use cases like SocialFi. One of the products is an open-source browser extension enabling crypto transfers directly from Twitter. Since its launch in early 2022, the extension has grown to 80k weekly users and has been stress-tested with over 500k transactions.During the last Gitcoin GG18 round, IDriss has successfully onboarded grantees to receive donations on OP via the Twitter extension. A total of 377 unique donors made impressive 1,186 donations to 155 grantees.Following the successful Gitcoin pilot, IDriss expanded the initiative by consolidating all the major PGF mechanisms (Gitcoin, Giveth, RetroPGF, CLR.fund, DAO Drops) and enabling perpetual donations to 700+ grantees on OP.
Quoting Optimism’s documentation, “Funding public goods drives growth — and therefore network revenues — from the ground up”. Our project improves discoverability and stimulates donations to public goods on OP by putting them in front of 80k users of the IDriss extension. Moreover, issuance of attestations helps bootstrap the growth of the Attestation Station.Metrics on OP during Gitcoin GG18:- 1186 total donations- 377 unique donors- 155 unique grantees received donationsReactions from grantees and donors were overwhelmingly positive, as evidenced by the collection of reactions on Twitter within the first 24 hours post launch.Taking the next step and launching the meta-infinite PGF round opened doors for a larger and more diverse group of 700+ grantees to receive donations.
