Ponder

Project details match catalog

About

Ponder is a survey protocol that collects high quality human insights from respondents with real credentials, then distributes their answers to the world. We're launching this via decentralized social to help positively impact global narratives.

Impact

We plan to help reconstruct faith in institutions - with these institutions actually begin decentralized, credentialed networks of experts.

Progress

We've launched an open source bot that delivers questions and results on Farcaster, with over 1,000 followers and 400 users. We'll be transitioning from being called Surveycaster (the name of the bot) to Ponder (the protocol)

Team

Ben and I work extremely well together; him as an engineer and me as a product marketer. We're fierce advocates of decentralized social and have deep experience making consumer facing apps - me at Apple and him at Startups.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
