I also see lots of data and fraud defense projects (not just marketing/community) in the results for round 2!
I agree that enabling the community to contribute deeper value beyond data, marketing, community, and education will be key to scaling up citizens rounds.
I know its possible because we see other ecosystems (like Optimism) successfullly enabling many ecosystem developers to build in & around their software ecosystems.
Once Grants Stack + Allo v2 are integrated and opened up to more community contributions, and if/when more work is put into developer relations.. I hope to see a lot more engineering/product grants in the citizens rounds.
