 # IMPS - Impact Measurement Protocols
 
-https://ninimps.vercel.app/
+IMPS (Impact Measurement Protocols) is a first iteration of a custom Grant Stack application, leveraging Scaffold-Eth-2 and custom Allo V1 contracts. It aims to simplify the onboarding experience into web3 with Quadratic Funding (QF) rounds while providing additional resources and tooling for communities to subjectively measure impact under specific conditions with fairly weighted votes.
 
-IMPS (Impact Measurement Protocols) is Ninit's first iteration of a custom Grant Stack application, leveraging Scaffold-Eth-2 and custom Allo V1 contracts. It aims to simplify the onboarding experience into web3 with Quadratic Funding (QF) rounds while providing additional resources and tooling for communities to subjectively measure impact and create custom allocation and accountability mechanisms.

 ## Project Overview
 
-IMPS is a subjective measurement system designed to analyze and assess impact, using that data to hold projects accountable for poor impact reporting or failure to deliver on promises. It's particularly useful with Streaming Quadratic Funding (SQF) and interesting to implement in direct single-funder (SF) donations outside of QF pools.
+IMPS serves both as a grant stack scaffolding and subjective measurement system designed to analyze and assess impact, using that data to hold projects accountable for poor impact reporting or failure to deliver on promises. It's particularly useful with Streaming Quadratic Funding (SQF) and interesting to implement in direct single-funder (SF) donations outside of QF pools.
 
-Built using Scaffold-Eth-2 and inspired by Allo V1, IMPS makes it easier for developers to fork and customize their own accountable funding mechanism or QF grant stack. This project was a precursor to the scaffold grants stack concept.

 - **Impact Attestation**: Donors can attest to a project's impact with a revocable statement.
 - **Weighted Voting**: Vote weight is calculated based on the donor's contribution ratio to the project.

 ## Future Goals
 
 - Implement saved and custom round settings for easier setup.
-- Add informational hover-overs to explain contract functions.
 - Implement streamlined funding into QF rounds with governance over unallocated funds.
 - Integrate SQF features for donations beyond Allo V1.
+- Make it easier to integrate and custom other various capital allocation mechanisms.
