Pick where you want to go. Every route starts with a move you can make within the hour.
Search for the GenLayer ecosystem grants page, Gitcoin and similar public goods rounds, retroactive funding rounds, and accelerators in the Alliance or a16z CSX style. Write each one's deadline, ticket size and what they ask for.
Problem (online communities that argue about outcomes and what hurts), what The Verdict does, who uses it now (real numbers, even small), what you would do with funding, and why you. Keep it to one page.
Find a developer relations or grants lead from GenLayer or a similar ecosystem. Ask for feedback on fit, not money.
Hi [name], I run The Verdict on GenLayer. It lets anyone put a claim to an impartial AI judge that reads the web and rules onchain. We have [X] users so far. Before I apply to [program], could I get 10 minutes of your take on whether it fits? Happy to send a one page memo first.
Use the memo, attach a short screen recording and your live contract address. Answer every question with numbers where you can. Submit before the deadline, not on it.
One short email: rulings settled this month, one win, one problem, one ask. Investors and grant leads fund people who keep showing up.
Monthly The Verdict update: rulings settled went from [A] to [B]. Win: [one thing]. Problem: [one thing]. Ask: [one intro or piece of advice]. Thanks for reading.
Leave an email and we nudge you at 24 and 72 hours with your next move. Optional.
