🌱 Perennial Grant Experiment Epoch 1: Announcing Week 9 Winners

We launched the 10-week Perennial Grant Experiment with a simple conviction: public goods deserve sunlight. No black boxes. No closed-door committees.

Every profile, vote, and payout is in the open on Pensieve.

After 9 weeks, Oct 14 to Dec. 16, we’re excited to see this vision taking root. Today, we celebrate the first seeds sprouting by announcing our Week 6winners for Top Transparent Projects and Top Accountable Projects.
