-Structured to match NLNet's form fields:
-
-- Proposal name: "piker: sovereign, structured-concurrent trading infrastructure for the commons"
-- Abstract: comprehensive description of what piker is today + 5 concrete deliverables for the grant
-- Relevant experience: your background with tractor/trio/structured concurrency ecosystem
-- Comparison: positions piker against proprietary platforms, permissively-licensed FOSS libraries, and
-institutional systems — hits NLNet's "market failure" framing hard
-- Technical challenges: 5 real engineering problems (distributed SC, zero-copy shm, broker heterogeneity, UI
- perf, reproducible packaging)
-- Ecosystem engagement: upstream contributions, Matrix community, pikers.dev self-hosting, open data
-formats, standards work
-- Budget: €50k breakdown across 7 task areas at €75/h
-
-Key arguments aligned with NLNet Commons Fund mission:
-
-1. Financial infrastructure as captured commons — the "market failure" framing NLNet explicitly looks for
-2. AGPLv3+ as the license that actually prevents enclosure (not MIT/Apache which they've seen fail)
-3. "Honest, open, inclusive, robust" — their exact language mapped onto piker's properties
-4. Zero-web / federated / your-hardware-your-data as data sovereignty
-5. tractor as a standalone commons contribution beyond just trading
-
-Things you'll want to customize before submitting:
-- Your Matrix room URL
-- Budget amounts / hourly rate to match your actual needs
-- Contact info on the form itself
-- Whether to attach a demo screencast or architecture diagram
-- The AI disclosure section (they require it since we used AI to draft)
