How to create a proposal in Questbook?
This guide walks you through the full process of preparing and submitting a grant proposal to the Obol Grants Program using Questbook.
1. Respect the Wave Schedule
Each grant wave follows a strict timeline. Grant requests must be submitted during the application window listed in the Grants Program page.
⚠️ Proposals submitted outside of an open wave window will not be considered.
2. Choose the Right Grant Track
Your grant request must clearly align with one of the three main grant tracks, which are tied to the Obol Collective's SQUAD goals. Each track has its own page with:
Scope verification checklist
Expectations and contribution types
Evaluation criteria used during review
On each grant track page, you will find the link to apply for that specific track on Questbook.
👉 Visit the grant track guides linked here.
3. Prepare to Submit on Questbook
If you don't already have a Questbook account:
Go to https://questbook.app
Create a new wallet or connect an existing one
Back up your wallet's private key securely — you will need it to access your account
4. Create Your Application
Select the grant track aligned with your grant request and follow the link provided in the dedicated subpage
Complete each section of the form, including:
Project summary
Team & track record
Grant track alignment
Milestones & timelines
Requested funding & deliverables per milestone
Each section is pre-structured to guide you in providing the expected information.
5. Include Your Cost Breakdown
You must attach a cost breakdown using the template provided by the Obol Association (linked below).
You may modify the structure, add/remove rows, or use your own format if clearly structured.
Make sure costs are tied to milestones, not just a lump sum.

6. Post in the Forum
Once your application is submitted on Questbook:
Go to the Obol Grants Forum Thread
Post a comment with:
Your project name
A short summary
A link to your Questbook grant request
This ensures community visibility and transparency.
7. What Happens Next
During the review period (after the wave closes), your grant request will be evaluated by the current committee.
Reviews will use the rubric published in your track’s page to evaluate your request.
Feedback may be shared on Questbook or through the forum.
If approved:
You’ll be contacted for milestone validation and next steps for funding.
Disbursements will occur after milestone delivery is validated.
