After collaborating with hundreds of community contributors and organizations, we’ve completely revamped the proposal submission and funding process. This makes it easier to submit, review, and approve proposals aligned with DevDAO’s mission of fostering a thriving NEAR developer community.\n\nExplore the new experience on the [Proposal Feed](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=proposals).\n\n## What’s new?\n* **A Clear Journey:** Our new structured proposal format and dedicated feed make it easy to understand requirements and submit proposals to DevDAO.\n* **Enhanced Transparency:** Track progress and understand the rationale behind funding decisions with clear updates and timelines.\n* **KYC/KYB Integration:** Verification with Fractal helps establish the identity of recipients, prompting trust and compliance.\n* **Focused Collaboration:** Better tools for all participants to actively discuss, comment, and collaborate within each proposal.\n* **Decentralized & Transparent Decisions:** Community involvement and clear rationale guide funding choices, fostering trust in the process.\n\n## Pilot Program with DevDAO\nFor the initial launch, the new proposal experience offers a clear and organized way to submit and manage funding requests specifically from DevDAO, the main entity behind DevHub. We focus on funding projects that drive developer growth:\n\n* **DevTools**: SDKs, CLIs, IDEs, and documentation (Rust and JS stacks) that streamline development.\n* **DevRel**: Activities that onboard and engage developers including tutorials, guides, onboarding experiences, community support channels, and IRL/online events.\n* **DevHub Portal**: Building essential tools for managing proposals, treasury, and community collaboration.\n\n## Get Involved\nThe DevHub Portal is a vibrant hub where diverse communities connect, collaborate, and find resources for building on NEAR. The new proposal experience streamlines a key aspect – funding for developer-centric projects.\n\n* **Have a proposal?** Head over to the [Proposal Feed](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=proposals).\n* **Need guidance?** Review our detailed [funding guidelines](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=community&handle=developer-dao&tab=funding).\n* **Want to connect?** Catch the latest announcements and join the discussions in our various [communities](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=communities).\n\n## What About the Old Activity Feed?\nDon't worry, the conversations from the old activity feed are still archived [here](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=feed)!\n\n## What’s next?\nThis pilot phase with DevDAO focuses on streamlining the funding process, laying the groundwork for a model that can empower other organizations within the NEAR ecosystem. We’re working on further automating the process and creating tools for efficient decision-making and treasury management. Your feedback is crucial.
