Well, I’ve been looking for technical contacts at Rootstock Labs who could support us with the node initiative. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find anyone currently available to focus on this topic, which we all know is important. However, it will likely have to wait a few weeks or months until it can be reprioritized.
So, the idea is to narrow the scope of this first grant to only supporting Descentralizar and the courses focused on DeFi. Later on, we can consider requesting a new grant specifically for the nodes initiative.
I want to emphasize that this remains a matter of great importance for everyone, as having more Rootstock nodes is key to the decentralization of the network. But fortunately, the entire Rootstock Labs organization is currently very busy with other priorities. There are enough nodes to keep the network decentralized for now, so this can reasonably be postponed to a future grant.
I wanted to clarify this point.
