➕💼Projects
If you are a public good you can create a project to start receiving donations and be eligible for funding rounds.
A project on Potlock represents a public good initiative that contributes value to the wider ecosystem. It serves as your project's digital identity on the platform, showcasing your work, goals, and impact to potential supporters and the community.
What Happens When You Create A Project?
Project Registry Listing Your project gets added to Potlock's Project Registry, a curated collection of public goods initiatives. This makes your project discoverable to donors who are actively looking to support meaningful projects. The registry serves as a central hub where supporters can explore, evaluate, and contribute to various public goods.
NEAR Horizon Integration Your project automatically gets listed on NEAR Horizon (near.org/horizon), which is NEAR Foundation's Founder Success team's service marketplace. This integration provides additional exposure and connects you with NEAR's ecosystem of resources, potential collaborators, and support services. It's an opportunity to tap into NEAR Foundation's network of founders and experts.

Build your project's social presence
Connect with other builders and supporters
Engage with the broader NEAR community
