NEXT MOVE · WITHIN THE HOUR

1. Run your first ledger yourself

45 min

Open your Grant Ledger admin, connect your wallet on Optimism, and set up your own last grant or hackathon prize as the first ledger. Use your own money or time so there is nothing to wait for.

2. Tell the people closest to you

20 min

Post a short message in the grantee channels of programs you already know with a link and a photo or screenshot of the first ledger.

FIRST MESSAGE · GROUP CHAT · TO THE GRANTEE CHANNELS OF PROGRAMS YOU ALREADY KNOW

Hi all, I just set up Grant Ledger. It is a living grant report, and each milestone links to a commit, deploy or metric a program manager can check in a minute. I ran the first one myself, here is the link. Want to try the next one with me this week?

3. Ask one organisation to pay

30 min

Pick one of the grant programs and grantee teams near you and offer a 30 day trial on their own branded page. This is the step that takes a little nerve.

FIRST MESSAGE · EMAIL · TO THE ORGANISER OF ONE OF THE GRANT PROGRAMS AND GRANTEE TEAMS YOU KNOW

Hi Priya, I run Grant Ledger, a living grant report where each milestone links to a commit, deploy or metric a program manager can check in a minute. I would love to set one up for your group free for 30 days. If it helps, it is a small monthly fee after that. Could I show you in 15 minutes this week?

4. Set a clear price

20 min

Write the price on your page, including any fee, in plain numbers. Hidden fees kill trust faster than high prices.

5. Review after 30 days

40 min

Count ledgers, active grantee teams and paying customers. Message the two most active users and ask what they would pay for next.
