This proposal will be moving to snapshot today and I am requesting stewards to vote for OPTION 1.
While we believe we have the support for option 2 to pass, we still want the stewards who believe we should do a discovery for a Sybil Detection/Passport Protocol DAO to be able to express that interest.
We have done the work, had tough conversations and continue to perform even after losing three people in the budget review process.
As a last request for stewards, I’d like to request that you to consider the following.
-
All options are more than a 40% deduction from the original request which is more than any steward asked for.
-
In a grants 2.0 future, we need to consider that FDD is responsible for protecting the legitimacy and credible neutrality of our own Gitcoin community rounds.
- As other communities have rounds, they will need to choose their funding stack as well. With that, they will either take recommendations from what we use, roll their own algo, or design new solutions. We can be invested in the generalized FDD solutions as businesses and protocols.
- Our work is on a core functions in Gitcoin Grants.
Finally, here is one more way to look at what FDD does based on functions in the funding stack.
