Background

The second CLR round in Honduras was accomplished! We learned a few things from last year’s round and the Honduras community came out strong with the Public Goods Round 2023. This round had 10,000 DAI as a matching pool and was deployed on Arbitrum One.

Organised by Ethereum Tegucigalpa for the Ethereum Honduras community, this round was initially planned for the end of 2022 but we decided to move it forward to 2023 to have enough time to implement the new contracts created during the Devcon round.

Here are the highlights of the round:

• Added support to multiple languages to clr.fund frontend
• Added Spanish translation to the clr.fund frontend
• 10.87K DAI in overall funding
• 18 projects applied and 11 were accepted in the round
• 9 events were held for this round (5 of them physical in 3 cities and 4 of them online)
• 42 voters (last round 23)
• 4 local Ethereum communities participated (last round 2)

What is different about this round?

With the experience we had in previous rounds, we wanted to increase the impact of the round, and for that, we implemented new criteria for projects:

• Projects must be Public Goods.
• Applicants must know how to turn ETH / DAI into local currency.
• Projects must commit to sharing how the funds are spent and metrics of the impact of the funds.
• Projects must be 6+ months old and have a verifiable track record.
• Projects must comply with the Ethereum Honduras code of conduct.
