Thanks for the great insights here, and appreciate you asking for feedback before submitting Milestone 3.
From our side, we’d only support this approach under very tight conditions, specifically to avoid artificial success signals and preserve the integrity of All-or-Nothing.
In practice, that means:
-
Support would only apply to campaigns that have already reached ~90% organically and are close to closing (1-2 days away) and need no more than $1k per project (maximum).
-
The intent is not to rescue weak campaigns, but to help strong, community-backed projects cross the finish line
-
Any support would be positioned as community amplification at the very end, not a substitute for creator outreach or demand
-
Also important to note: success begets success, and we want to help support success to have those success stories needed to create more creator demand for great projects.
The key test for us is whether the community has already clearly spoken. If a project cannot get close to the finish line on its own, then “nothing” is still the correct signal. We would not want to blur that line.
So it’s really about converting near-complete, community-validated efforts into visible, real-world successes that can serve as credible proof points for AON.
We agree on the importance of transparency and guardrails - so we can add comments to this Post whenever these funds get allocated. If they do not get used for this use case, the funds will be used for other marketing endeavors - such as more marketing content or amplifying the mini-documentary.
Thanks again for the great points.
Based on the feedback, I feel confident to submit this project onchain tomorrow morning. Wish us luck!
