Thank you @paul2 for the proposal and the continued interest in contributing to Gitcoin Grants. The Gardens team has done and continues to do great work. My initial reaction to this proposal, though, (and we’ve been in DMs already) is that there isn’t enough ROI for Gitcoin at this stage to purely invest in a platform upgrade for Gardens. I see that there is interest to run with CV in the community domains for GG24, which is great, but beyond that I would need a more concrete path to ROI for us.
I understand that there may be slight confusion around Gitcoin’s current goals and future roadmap now that Grants Stack has sunset (and we’ll be releasing an overview on this over the next few days to mitigate any more confusion), and how the community is fitting into that, but investing in a platform upgrade outside of a prior partnership without an ROI is out of scope.
I will be voting no on this proposal. I would also suggest taking a look at the Fair Fees structure that we plan on rolling out for round ops compensation.
