Key Financial Insights October

Total Contributor Costs

  • $582,180 including full-time contributors, and part-time support. This doesn’t include travel or any other staff related expenses, coming in at -$71,732, a 10.97% decrease

Other Notable Operating Expenses

  • Severance: We’ve offboarded a couple of contributors this month resulting in $17,422 extra costs not captured above.
  • Contract Deployment: (i.e Faucet/Gas Subsidization - see below) Allo launched V2 in October. lfg! This resulted in a gas/faucet subsidization costs increase @ $3,800 to get the protocol on Mainnet. (same thing with @ mentions noted above - show the Allo team some love y’all! :black_heart:)
  • Software/Subscriptions: Due to some new processes we were able to catch some legacy accounts that were running without our knowledge. We’re working with partners to minimize costs and issue refunds where possible moving forward.

Summary

Bars go down. We’re working on the broader picture without restricting growth but we’re working leaner, meaner and quicker. The work we’re doing is more focused, and the teams are excited about the strategies that are emerging.
