Avantgarde Delegate Thread

[2508 Grant] Infrastructure Ventures Path to Ecosystem Growth

We voted in support of this prop as we see it as a smart, low-risk bet on what appears to be a very capable team. The proposal would be filling an important complementary gap by sourcing and mentoring projects before they come to the DAO, essentially creating a pipeline of “DAO-ready” teams. The proposal is structured to protect the DAO finances as the team only gets significant pay after delivering real results. We also appreciate the staking requirement seeking to force projects to have real skin in the game.

[0907 Grant Proposal] Rootstock QuestHub - M4

We voted against this proposal as we don’t believe the final milestone had been sufficiently met, while there was also some minor issues in the proposal itself. Existing UX issues on the website have been well noted and received in the proposal’s forum post, so we are expecting this to be resolved soon, at which point we will be happy to support a re-submission.

[Grant 2511] Recognized Delegate Compensation - October 2025

We voted in support of the Recognized Delegate Compensation to facilitate the first payment of said program, which we think makes a lot of sense to take the Collective to the next level. This will ensure a broader, dedicated set of delegates contributing to the DAO. We have already seen the positive impact this has had on forum activity and ensuring proposals receive adequate feedback.
