Questbook is building the on-chain incubator for builders who’re building the infrastructure for web3. Questbook is a product, community, company by builders for builders.
We are working towards solving the following problems.
Roadmap
Short term : Grants orchestration tool
There are 100s of protocols & DAOs that are running their grant programs using a a variety of disparate tools including Notion, Airtable, Google forms, Excel etc.
The lack of a streamlined process makes it hard for the grant managers to effectively run the program - causing delays, missing updates, and builder drop offs.
We’ve built a tool called the Onchain Grants orchestration tools that these grant managers use.
This is a state of the art completely decentralized tool - all the data is stored on chain and the frontend served via decentralized storage networks. We don’t run our own database or servers - making the product completely decentralized, opensourced and composable.
Our partners include all of the top 25 protocols and dapps.
Mid term : Discovery & Credentialing
As of today, it is hard or impossible to identify the credentials of the user or builder based on on-chain information.
A critical piece in the web3 future of work is credentials. What has the user contributed to across github, DAOs, Snapshot, grants & bounties completed etc. All of this information if available to grant managers will streamline the process of selection even faster. Not only that, a credentialing system is a huge requirement across the ecosystem. A lot of projects outside Questbook will also benefit from such an infrastructure.
If credentials are available, it will be possible for better discovery of grants. For example, grant managers can give preference to users who have contributed to a certain protocol. If the information is available, UI can be designed to connect the right builders to the right opportunities.
This is a major engineering and product design problem. It’s critical yet an unsolved problem.
Long term : Onchain incubator & Community
All these builders who are building and are awardees of grants are likely very very high quality builders. We will be building a community of these high quality builders. When smart people jam together, magic happens.
These builders will be able to help each other in the community - in such a way that there is a financial incentive to do so too.
Questbook will further help members of this community by building public goods that will be useful for multiple people in the community. Questbook will also provide access to follow on capital via venture funding to the projects coming out of this community.
The entire community’s incentives will be supercharged via a token.
About the role
You will :
- Lead the integration of Protocols and manage client relationships
- Talking to customers, and figuring out what needs to be built, iteratively.
- Document user requirements and communicate it to engineers and designers
- Spec out feature requirements
- Ideate, brainstorm, and wireframe solutions with engineering and design teams
Some sample projects :
- Integrating Gnosis Safe for paying grants
- Integrating Snapshot voting with core product
- Integrating a decentralized notification system (email/messaging)
You’ll be best fit if :
- You champion customer empathy and argue persuasively on behalf of the user.
- You have strong communication skills and are able to effectively gather client requirements and articulate/document it to the engineering teams
- You have 2-4 years of development experience including some project management and client business analysis
- You’re curious about web3
- You use web3 applications like wallets, NFTs etc.
- You’ve designed web3 apps and products before.
- You’re a member of DAOs
- Active on crypto Twitter and love sharing your learnings
