Caveat: I was not one of the stewards who reviewed the budget closely. Nor do I have deep context into how this workstream has evolved over the past several seasons. So my comments are only focused on the outputs, not the inputs, of MMM.
Caveats aside, MMM appears to be firing on all cylinders right now. The new website and brand identity are stunning. The collab with Metalabel – raising $1M – was amazing. Gitcoin’s ETH Denver presence was unmatched. The product marketing for the new protocol stack appears to have been incredibly effective. Oh, and Gitcoin has the best Twitter game in web3.
MMM is a rising tide that lifts all boats in the regen crypto seas. I encourage other stewards to view this budget request not just as an investment in the DAO’s marketing but as an investment in giving the entire space the legitimacy and recognition it deserves. I will be voting YES to this proposal.
