web3-grant-tracker

Track active Web3 grant rounds, get deadline alerts, estimate quadratic funding matches, check project eligibility, and monitor applications across major DAO...

Security Scan

The skill claims live scanning, alerts, and integrations (WhatsApp/Telegram, GitHub, wallets) but provides no code, binaries, or credentials and references a CLI that isn't included—these mismatches make its capabilities unclear and potentially misleading.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description promise live grant scanning, deadline alerts, eligibility checks, application tracking and messaging integration. However the package contains no code, no binaries, and no declared environment variables or install steps—yet the SKILL.md repeatedly references a 'web3-grant-tracker' CLI and integrations that would legitimately require API keys (messaging, GitHub, wallet providers). The declared requirements (none) do not match the stated capabilities.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs running CLI commands (scan, alerts-setup, add-project, estimate-match) and guidance to connect GitHub and wallets and set up WhatsApp/Telegram alerts. It does not supply implementation or detail how to authenticate those external services, nor does it request or declare the necessary credentials. The instructions therefore cannot be executed as-is by an agent and obscure where sensitive data or external endpoints would be used.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files (instruction-only). That is low disk/execution risk. However, because there is no shipped binary or script, the CLI referenced in the documentation is absent—so the skill is effectively a user-facing guide rather than an executable integration.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, yet its described features (messaging alerts, GitHub/project analysis, wallet interactions) would normally require API keys, webhooks, or wallet access. This mismatch is disproportionate and leaves open where or how the skill would obtain or use sensitive credentials.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and there is no install script or persistent configuration in the package. The skill does not request elevated or persistent platform privileges in its metadata.

What to consider before installing

This package is only documentation (SKILL.md) describing a 'web3-grant-tracker' CLI and integrations, but it does not include any executable code, installers, or declared credentials. Treat it as a how-to or product spec, not a working skill. Before installing or trusting it: 1) ask the author for the actual implementation (binary/source) and a clear list of required API keys and webhooks; 2) do not supply private keys or wallet seed phrases—alerts require messaging APIs (e.g., Twilio/WhatsApp API tokens) which should be scoped and audited; 3) verify where any outgoing network traffic would go (published repo, known release URLs) and inspect the code for endpoints before providing credentials; 4) if you only want the guidance, run the suggested commands/tools locally rather than granting agent autonomous access. The primary risk here is misrepresentation (claims vs. no-code) and unclear handling of sensitive credentials — proceed cautiously and request the missing implementation and security details.

📊 QF MATCH ESTIMATE (Gitcoin GG24, 50 donors):
   Conservative: $180–450
   Optimistic:   $600–1,200
   (Based on 50 unique donors × avg $5 contribution)

💡 Recommendation: Apply to GG24 Infrastructure round
   → run: web3-grant-tracker apply-guide gitcoin-gg24

QF Matching Calculator

Quadratic Funding rewards projects with many small donors over few large ones:

# See how adding more donors affects your match
web3-grant-tracker estimate-match \
  --project "my-project" \
  --round gitcoin-gg24 \
  --donor-count 100 \
  --avg-donation 10

# Output:
# sqrt(10) * 100 donors = 316 QF units
# Estimated match: $1,200–2,800 (depends on pool)
# Getting to 200 donors would 2x your match!
