Thanks for the comprehensive overview of the citizens grants program thinking Mathilda.
I think that the DAO is going to successfully rally around Allo Protocol + Grants = Growth, and invest way more tokens into the citizens than Gitcoin ever has before, then a solid citizens strategy is important.
I am feeling fairly confident that this is directionally correct, but i think we will discover a lot as this gets operationalized. I predict that there will be a lot of iteration as we advance towards our north stars of $15m GMV on Allo => $50m GMV on Allo => $1bn GMV on Allo.
How much funding should we put into citizens?
- Right now I think the ~$100k/qtr is quite meager, and that we can ramp that up as we build Upward Spirals of more confidence in, and accountability from, the citizens… ultimately allocating much much more tokens.
- For starters, IMO we should increase the next citizens round by about 1.5x - 2x.
