October 19, 2023 Octant Epoch One: Ecosystem Project Demo #5
Today we're going to be talking to Octant. Octant is a decentralized governance platform that awards participation with ETH. It is a project by the Golem Foundation and Octant's mission is to streamline the funding for public goods and to ensure they receive the support that they deserve. Octant is doing this by taking a portion of their staking rewards and using that to distribute to the community, who can give it to public goods projects.

We're here with James and we're going to be learning about their app today.
