[2507 Grant Proposal] Rootstock QuestHub - Milestone 4
Jan 12
Voted: FOR
Rationale: After careful consideration, we had already suported the previous vote, which failed nevertheless.
Since then, there have been more improvements and fixes, we feel the last milestone is ready to be approved, and we trust the team is committed to maintaining this project accordingly.
[2512 Grant 1] RootStock Global Wallet by Blockscout – Milestone 1
Voted: FOR
Rationale: Proposal has been reduced in scope following feedback to the point we think this is worth the investment for the possible upside in adoption and new user onboarding.
The team also clearly has the technical capacity to deliver
[2601 Grant] SwaptoX Aggregator – Milestone 1
Would have Voted: Against
Rationale: We missed this vote, but would have voted no.
Main reasons are it didn’t complete KYC, and we think careful attention to proper instructions and procedure are an indicative of responsibility and professionalism of future project execution.
Moreover, we think the original lacked some more details.
As a strong point we’d like to raise, the history of this project being deployed on Base for 4+ months is a strong indicative, and we’d lean on supporting this project in the future if the pending points are fixed.
[2510] Grant Proposal – Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) Sandbox Rootstock Integration — Milestone 2
Vote: Against
Rationale: Requested value is above pre-agreed value by $1000. We don’t think this can be overlooked, and a new proposal should be submitted.
[2508 Grant Proposal] All-or-Nothing Crowdfunding with Rootstock - Milestone 3
[2601 Grant] Loan interest return to boost bitcoin-backed circular economies - Milestone 1
Voted: Against
Rationale: The core mechanism here remains unclear. If loan interest is being returned to borrowers, we’re essentially running a subsidy program, which could be valuable if intentional. However, the proposal doesn’t establish how we measure whether this actually stimulates new economic activity versus simply transferring value back to existing participants. Without attribution methodology or clear success criteria, it’s difficult to assess treasury impact. The idea has merit but needs stronger operational grounding before deployment.
[Grant 2602] Recognized Delegate Compensation - January 2026
Voted: For
Rationale:
[2601 Grant] SwaptoX Aggregator – Milestone 1
Voted: For
Rationale: OP has been very responsive, and we think fact the project is running successfuly in Base, a major blockchain, for 5+ months should be a strong signal.
We don’t think only mature projects with proven traction should get grants. Those can raise venture capital at million dollar valuations.
Grants are meant for pre-seed projects, with little to no proven traction, which would have difficulty raising venture capital.
Moreover, we think Rootstock could use an improvement in the DEX space, which could come in the form of an aggregator.
[2510] Grant Proposal - Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) sandbox rootstock integration - Milestone 2
Voted: For
Rationale: Previous milestone has been delivered. Team has been proactive, responsive, and detailed in their responses.
We think the technical adjustments in the next milestone budget regarding audit and security hardening are sound.
This project is ready to move to the next milestone.
