EthSignals Manifesto
Purpose
Background
The project was inspired by the Phil Lucsok and Griff Green presentation at EthMagicians in Berlin on July 2018. The working group was formed shortly afterwards. The project was funded on Giveth by Griff Green, then with the Aragon Nest grant and later on GitCoin and WeTrust. Collectively over $43k was attracted for the development and community work. Currently the funds are managed through Aragon DAO. Info on the team:
