Open-Source Automation for Grassroots Impact
Turning Volunteer Energy into Scalable Change
​​​
Edgar is an open-source toolkit built and maintained by the TrueSight DAO community. It helps grassroots social impact initiatives coordinate volunteer contributions, track impact, and manage community-driven governance—without the usual technical or financial barriers.
The Problem
Grassroots Movements Struggle to Scale
​
Most impact-focused initiatives have willing volunteers but lack the infrastructure to coordinate them effectively.
-
Limited Funding – Many rely on volunteer time rather than fiat donations.
-
Complex Web3 Barriers – Wallet setup, gas fees, staking, and DAO governance models are confusing and often speculative, discouraging participation.
-
High Costs & Technical Hurdles – Off-the-shelf web platforms charge monthly fees, and custom blockchain solutions require expensive developers and server maintenance.
-
Security & Irreversibility Risks – Blockchain vaults and governance tokens can be hacked, and wrong transactions can’t be reversed.
The result? Good intentions stall because operations don’t scale.
The Solution
​
Autonomous Impact Infrastructure Made Simple
Edgar removes the friction by providing ready-to-use, open-source modules that any grassroots group can deploy.
-
Familiar Tools – Built on Google Sheets with simple copy-paste Google App Scripts, so no new software learning curve.
-
Safe & Reversible – Transactions can be manually adjusted or reverted if something goes wrong.
-
Free or Low-Cost – Hosted via Google Sheets and GitHub, with minimal operating costs.
-
No Expert Developers Needed – Anyone who can use a spreadsheet can coordinate contributions and governance.
-
Open-Source & Community-Maintained – Modules are publicly available, transparent, and continuously improved.
Edgar turns volunteer energy into measurable, scalable impact—without requiring crypto expertise or expensive infrastructure.
