dCompass (build dQuests & dKnowledge) - Q4 Budget request

Proposal discussion on the governance forum: https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/proposal-integrate-dcompass-within-dgitcoin-to-build-dquests-dknowledge/8836

Abstract This proposal offers integration of dCompass to the Decentralize Gitcoin Workstream also know as dGitcoin.

dCompass’ primary mission will be to onboard, guide and educate users about:

• the Gitcoin ecosystem
• sustainable open source software & trustworthy Web3 protocols and tools
• decentralization & governance
• DeFi & NFTs

Our workstream will be responsible for decentralizing and improving the Gitcoin Quests, which will become dQuests, as well as the Gitcoin Knowledge Base, which will become dKnowledge.

dKnowledge will contain educational information and FAQs about the Gitcoin ecosystem, Web3 projects, and technologies. The content within the Knowledge Base will be used to populate quest preparation materials.

dQuests will display the content from dKnowledge in a more engaging way and it will reward users for validating their learnings and actions.

Built on a decentralized infrastructure, dQuests is a gamified platform where users will be able to progress through various types of quests—like quizzes, code challenges, and on-chain transactions—gaining the ability to verify their diverse skillsets.

By successfully completing a quest, users will be able to:

• earn XPs and increase their ranking
• mint Quest & Badge NFTs with a random rarity
• and grow their Dynamic Skill Tree NFT by validating their learnings & actions through on-chain micro-credentials.

We are requesting a total of 26145 GTC for Q4, allocated gradually upon milestone completion, to see the budget and range of activities in detail refer to this link: https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/standard11/uploads/gitcoin1/original/2X/6/6229c5ceeebb4be55cd841d58fdfad2d021e130e.png
