Hi @Francisco thank you for sharing your Milestone 1 deliverables. The 7 selected projects are impressive. There are a few heavy hitters such as Squid and Bungee, which I use regularly, and will be amazing to have them deploy on Rootstock. Their deployment on Rootstock would be highly impactful, with the potential to materially improve DeFi metrics and significantly increase the accessibility and usability of Rootstock tokens.
I have a few questions that would benefit from clarity:
- Which tokens, beyond RIF, will be included in your KPI tracking?
- Can you please elaborate on what you mean in your Milestone 2 output, when you write, “RIF treasury strategies developed for each project”?
- In Milestone 5, one of your goals is “≥1M RIF tokens staked”. This implies that you are encouraging these projects to participate in governance?
- Which roles on the selected project’s team will be completing the accelerator course?
- Have you thought about a fast-track path for the mature projects? These projects don’t necessarily need to go through the basic learning in the accelerator, but rather we should be focused on bringing them up to speed quickly on how to deploy on Rootstock and support Rootstock’s tokens (see question 1).
Separately, the Collective, alongside Infrastructure Ventures, should proactively plan growth campaigns around these new deployments. Several of these projects bring meaningful distribution and user reach. A coordinated incentive strategy—potentially with matching incentives from both the Collective and the projects—could help maximize impact. Tagging @PGov and @Kaf_Anode, who have experience executing similar initiatives in other ecosystems.
