Thank you for the thorough feedback. We’ll address every point directly.
1. Compliance & Builder Status
DAOstar flagged a previous Beexo-related proposal. To be precise: an earlier submission faced a KYB conflict due to corporate structure overlap with a US-based entity. That issue was resolved through
individual KYC verification completed with Rootstock Labs. Our currently active proposal —
Beexo Wallet: The Mobile Hybrid Standard for Rootstock Adoption | RootstockCollective — reflects our compliant, approved builder status. We are not the deactivated
entity. We are the resolved, approved one. If any remaining compliance verifications are required, we will complete them on request.
2. Wallet Agnosticism — Why Beexo + Why It’s Not Lock-In
All products built at the hackathon will work with any wallet. Every mini-app will integrate Beexo Connect SDK, which is interoperable with WalletConnect/Reown for standard EVM connections.
However, Beexo Connect enables something technically impossible with WalletConnect or Reown alone: native interaction with Bitcoin, Argentine Pesos (ARS), and Tron — all self-custodial, within the same
connection flow. No other connection standard supports this multi-chain, multi-rail scope in a self-custodial context. For products built at CryptoVendimIA that want to reach users operating across BTC,
RBTC, stablecoins, and local fiat rails simultaneously, Beexo Connect is not a preference — it is the only available infrastructure. WalletConnect/Reown remain supported for users who prefer other EVM
wallets; Beexo Connect extends that to markets and asset types they simply cannot reach otherwise.
Beyond connectivity, Beexo is the recommended wallet for the onboarding activation for three ecosystem-first reasons:
1. Zero setup friction. The only self-custodial wallet with Rootstock protocols natively integrated — no “Add Network,” no custom RPC, no token contract address. For a first-time user at a conference,
that difference determines whether onboarding actually happens.
2. ARS ↔ Rootstock stablecoins. The only self-custodial wallet allowing Argentine users to buy and sell DOC and USDRIF directly from/to Argentine pesos. For an audience experiencing real inflation, this
is the most relevant DeFi on-ramp available today.
3. Gasless transactions (launching now). New users won’t need RBTC to execute their first onchain actions. This removes the #1 onboarding drop-off we’ve observed in every prior Rootstock activation.
We will explicitly showcase MetaMask, Defiant, and other compatible wallets during workshops as part of a dedicated multi-wallet compatibility segment in every technical session.
3. On-Chain Verification
We don’t have Dune Dashboard capacity on this timeline. What we commit to instead — which we believe is equally auditable:
-
A public Rootstock Explorer query for each onboarding contract/address used at the event — independently verifiable by any reviewer in real time
-
A public tracking sheet updated daily during the 5 days with wallet addresses activated, transactions executed, and DOC/USDRIF volume moved
-
A post-event Impact Report with all Explorer links, txhashes for prize distributions, and GitHub repos for all submitted projects — published within 14 days of event close
-
The 50/50 payment structure already ties accountability to delivery: the second $5,000 is only released upon verified report submission
4. Hackathon Format — Real Products for Real Markets
This directly addresses the high CAC / low ROI concern raised by the Collective.
We are not running a standard hackathon. We are explicitly instructing every team to move beyond abstract technical solutions and think in terms of a real product for a specific industry or niche — one
they can take to market and generate actual usage and feedback from real users.
Every team must define from day one:
-
Target niche (e.g. agricultural exporters, university students, freelancers, SMEs)
-
Problem statement in that niche
-
Go-to-market hypothesis — who are the first 10 users and how do they reach them
Technical implementation is judged alongside real-world applicability. A simpler product with a clear niche and a realistic path to users scores higher than a technically sophisticated demo with no
defined audience.
This means the teams that emerge from CryptoVendimIA are not “event participants” — they are early-stage founders building on Rootstock, with a defined market, user feedback to pursue, and a clear
reason to keep building after March 29. That is what converts an event into long-term ecosystem traction, not just onchain activity during a single week.
All workshop materials, code repositories, and guides produced will be published under MIT license — reusable by any ecosystem event across LatAm.
5. Dedicated Booth — Ecosystem Education Hub
The Rootstock booth will operate as an active conversion hub throughout all 5 days — not a passive stand. Activities include live trivia, gamified challenges, and hands-on demos designed to introduce
every attendee to Rootstock as the first BTCFi network, built by Argentinians — a fact that carries real narrative weight with a LatAm audience.
The booth is structured around three distinct audiences:
-
End users — What is RBTC? How do I get my first Rootstock wallet in under 2 minutes? How can I be onboarded via ARS? What are bitcoin over-colateralized stable coins? How to transact with DOC/USDRIF without needing native token?
What is the beta vaulta to earn yield with USDRIF? -
Developers — What can I build? What tooling, SDKs, and infrastructure does Rootstock provide? How do I go from idea to deployed contract?
-
Institutions & universities — What is the Rootstock Collective? How does Bitcoin-secured smart contract infrastructure apply to real industry use cases — payments, tokenization, lending?
Every trivia answer, every completed challenge, every wallet activated at the booth feeds directly into the onchain KPIs tracked in the Impact Report.
6. Builder Retention Pipeline — Concrete Path
During the event:
-
Dedicated session on how to apply to the Rootstock Grants Program — structure, criteria, funded examples, what the Collective prioritizes
-
Rootstock Collective and Rootstock Labs formally invited to co-present this session and send representatives to the B2B institutional day on Friday March 27
Post-event (30–60 days):
-
Direct introductions to the Rootstock Grants Program for every team that submits a project
-
30–60 day mentoring from Juani and Matías focused on product refinement and grant application preparation
-
Access to MOC and Tropykus teams for protocol integration and partnerships
-
Beexo Connect ecosystem integration — real user exposure within the Beexo app
-
Introductions to the most active Rootstock protocols for service and integration opportunities
-
Invitations to our weekly Thursday show on X/YouTube (avg 1,500–4,000 views) to pitch product progress — sustained ecosystem visibility beyond the event
-
Access to a pool of beta testers from the Beexo user community for real product validation
KPI tied to retention: ≥ 3 hackathon teams formally apply to the Rootstock Grants Program within 60 days. We commit to a public follow-up post at the 60-day mark.
7. Speaker Lineup — Technical Depth
The institutional speakers (Loidi, Salvato, Abulafia) are scoped exclusively to the B2B Friday track — directed at regulators, corporate decision-makers, and university directors.
Technical content is delivered by:
-
Beexo engineering team — Beexo Connect SDK, gasless transactions, Rootstock-native integrations
-
BTCFi introduction with analogies with banking services by Juani Podesta, who has been speaker for 5 years talking about UX, Web3 complexity abstraction, etc.
-
Money On Chain team — DOC and USDRIF as BTCFi primitives, live protocol demo
-
Tropikus earns and loans products using BTC and BTC backed assets.
-
Hackathon mentors — hands-on Solidity and Rootstock sessions during the 3-day hackathon
We formally invite the Rootstock Collective and Rootstock Labs to co-design the technical curriculum — specifically the governance session and any content they want delivered to the institutional
audience on Friday. Open invitation, not a formality.
8. Ambassador Role — No Overlap
Matt’s Ambassador activities are content creation, ecosystem education, and community outreach. None of those activities are funded, billed, or claimed under this proposal. This proposal covers a
bounded event activation with defined deliverables — 5-day sponsored presence, structured hackathon with onchain prize distribution, and 60-day builder retention program — entirely outside Ambassador
scope. No double-billing.
9. La Bitcoineta — Removed
Removed entirely. Budget returns to $12,500.

12. Co-Investment Transparency
The $12,500 grant covers sponsorship and prizes. Beexo is independently co-investing:
-
Travel and accommodation for technical staff — speakers, workshop facilitators, mentors
-
Additional prizes for Beexo Connect SDK usage
-
Merchandising for participants
-
Onboarding activation prizes
-
60 days of post-event builder follow-up
Total ecosystem value delivered significantly exceeds the $12,500 grant.
We welcome a 10-minute sync with any Collective members who want to review KPIs or compliance status before the vote. The event runs March 25–29. We need a decision by March 20 to execute the
sponsorship agreement with CryptoVendimIA on time.
