Pomelo is a leader in web3 crowdfunding. Each new season the community finds new features, NFTs, and innovative ideas. Pomelo Season 6 is no different.
Pomelo first deployed on EOS, the most advanced and performant blockchain. Season 6 is the first to deploy multiple matching rounds:
EOS EVM
EOS GameFi
Everything EOS
Telos
Supported by Antelope-based chains, Pomelo’s potential is limitless.
Community Makes the Difference
Having the best technology is only part of the solution. The strong community that supports the EOS Network is the other. Take, for example, EOS Audit and its independent reports that support Pomelo’s efforts.
EOS Audit helps Pomelo, donors, and grant owners make decisions. View the latest Audit report for information about affiliated projects. The objective is to provide:
“... EOS Respect and the broader EOS community with enough project information to assist users in their decision-making during pomelo seasons.”
Through EOS Audit, donors gain a better understanding of project activity. Grant owners benefit from structure and improved ways to network. Pomelo Season 6 participants can now leverage:
more than 40+ audited affiliated projects
grant tracking over 3 seasons
New projects must request inclusion into EOS Audit.
Team Pomelo
As a community-focused organization, the Pomelo team takes feedback very seriously. From how analysis is completed to security and design, community members contribute every step of the way. This season's main addition is multiple matching pools. Community bounties are another recent add.
NFTs
Not only is Pomelo on Telos but the platform already eyes Bitcoin (via Ordinals [season 5 astronauts NFTs recently recorded on-chain]). Read the story, view the marketplace, and check out the crafting station.
Pomelo NFTs set out on an adventurous journey of exploration. An entertaining background story accompanies the release of each new seasonal NFT set. Only dedicated fans learn valuable secrets. The Pomelo team uses stories to teach the intricacies of blending NFTs to reach their full potential.
Leveraging EOS to Help Lead web3
Innovating web3 is challenging. First, the crypto space is in a constant state of flux as both developers and regulators seek to understand the potential and consequences. Second, innovation is generally unpredictable. Third, as an open-source industry and P2P environment, the ‘meshing’ of minds is unlike anything the world has ever known.
That’s web3. To fund it, the world needs efforts like Pomelo and its dedicated community.
OUTLOOK
Crowdfunding web3 is destined to succeed. Consider the early chaos of the Internet. It would coalesce into a server-based system. Now consider how such a solution for web3 is impossible given the mandate for what makes a blockchain.
By nature, web3 must work toward distributed technologies. Funding web3 must leverage the wisdom of the crowd. Like the Internet forever changes knowledge and education, web3 changes P2P exchanges and ownership. Funding can better match needs because of web3 efforts like Pomelo.
