Filecoin ProPGF Grantee Guide

Filecoin ProPGF Grantee Guide

Welcome to Karma! Filecoin has partnered with Karma to manage ProPGF grants going forward. If you're a grantee from ProPGF Batch 1, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to access your project, submit milestone updates, and stay on track with your grant.

What's Changed?

We've migrated all 14 projects and milestones from Questbook into Karma's platform. Your project information, milestones, and deliverables are already set up and waiting for you, no need to re-enter anything.

You can view all Batch 1 projects here: https://www.karmahq.xyz/community/filecoin

Getting Started

Step 1: Find Your Project

1. Go to https://www.karmahq.xyz/community/filecoin

2. Browse the list to locate your project

3. Click on your project name to open your project page

Step 2: Verify Your Admin Wallet

Before logging in, confirm that we have the correct wallet address on file:

1. On your project page, you can see the wallets in the team section

1. Make sure this matches the wallet address you shared with the Filecoin team during your grant application

Important: Only the wallet listed as Admin can log in and submit updates for your project. If the wallet address doesn't match yours, please contact the Filecoin team to get it corrected.

Step 3: Log In to Karma

1. Click the Login button (located in the top-right corner of the page).

2. Connect with the wallet account that matches your Admin address.

3. Sign the authentication message when prompted, this verifies you own the wallet.

Once logged in, you'll have full access to manage your project and submit milestone updates.
