**Proposal** : **[[1304 Grant Proposal] TYKORA Prize Vaults for DoC & USDRIF (Tropykus Yield) | JXLabs - M1](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/65304490671333618204376327399676212573101125341393544897741501415057469893702)**

**Vote** : For

**Rationale:**

> [@\[2602 Grant\] TYKORA — Prize Vaults for DoC & USDRIF (Tropykus Yield) on Rootstock](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/2602-grant-tykora-prize-vaults-for-doc-usdrif-tropykus-yield-on-rootstock/738/37):
>
> @jxlabs As mentioned earlier, we find TYKORA to be an interesting experiment. The concept is similar to PoolTogether, which has already demonstrated that this model can work in practice. We believe this approach has the potential to bring additional engagement to DoC/USDRIF holders by introducing a different way to participate in savings.
> 
> We’re voting FOR this proposal and look forward to seeing how it performs!

**Proposal** : **[[2603 Grant] RelayDevKit - Milestone 1](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/20020649620005391174308698409027411175347044058711340763327230106363280231434)**

**Vote** : Against

**Rationale:** We decided to vote against this proposal, not because we believe Relay isn’t impactful, but precisely because it is. Given its potential to be widely adopted across the ecosystem, we think it’s important to be especially careful, as any flaws or gaps could propagate broadly if integrated by multiple projects.

The team hasn’t built on Rootstock before, although the team has worked on similar tooling for other, less complex protocols. Because of that, our concern is not really about general capability but more about ecosystem-specific execution risk. For something that could become foundational infrastructure, we think having prior experience within the Rootstock ecosystem is quite important.

**Vote** : Against

**Rationale:** While we appreciate the rescope that directly reduces the risk of issues propagating if Relay becomes standardized across the ecosystem, we do not think rushing to vote immediately while the previous version is still active is a good practice for governance, since delegates need time to properly review and the discussion process itself is important.

And there is still some uncertainty regarding the actual demand. While Relay integration is described as a pain point, as we mentioned in the thread it still feels more like an assumption at this stage, since there is no clear supporting evidence that projects are actually struggling with this complexity in practice and would need a tool like this.

**Vote** : For

**Rationale:** @AndrewG We appreciate the transparency in acknowledging that some deliverables fell short due to external factors beyond the team’s control. Reducing the budget for Milestones 2 and 3 is a reasonable adjustment, especially considering the team is already operating at a loss while still demonstrating commitment to delivering the remaining scope.

**Vote** : For

**Rationale:** We appreciate @Raphael_Anode for making adjustments to the metrics and for the transparency around the decision to support delegates who are genuinely contributing. We support the continuation of the Recognized Delegate compensation program, as it plays an important role in ensuring funds are allocated more efficiently.

**Proposal** : **[[RootstockCollective Ambassador Proposal] Renewal Proposal – Multi-Ambassador Extension M1 & M2](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/11351947134135630774798331454465958912853106551147352763471421417705817750451)**

**Vote** : For

**Rationale:** While we acknowledge the concerns raised by other delegates regarding the KPI around onboarding stakers not being fully met as initially intended, we believe it is more constructive to continue adjusting the program along the way, with @Georgia already actively coordinating with the ambassadors and working to address those concerns, rather than pausing it entirely, which could ultimately create more downside than benefit.

The ambassadors responsibilities are not limited to attracting stakers alone. Their role also includes creating content, engaging with the community, increasing awareness, and hosting local activities, etc. Continuing the program would allow ambassadors to maintain the momentum and relationships they have already built with their local communities. We also think the value of ambassador programs extends beyond a single metric, since their long-term goal is to help expand Rootstock’s presence and strengthen connections with local communities. Therefore, pausing the program at this stage could risk losing that momentum and potentially reduce community engagement overall.

**Vote** : Against

**Rationale:** We’re voting against this proposal. The team has genuinely tried to validate demand as we requested, and we appreciate that. But it’s still not substantial enough and for developer tooling like this, demand is everything. The problem you’re trying to solve is real, but a tool only creates value if teams actually adopt it. Without verified commitments from real integrators, we can’t justify the treasury spend.

**Vote** : Against

**Rationale:** We’re not against the proposal itself, but there is currently a technical frontend issue preventing the project from selecting Milestone 4 in the submission process. The Rootstock team is already aware of the issue and is working on a fix, which is expected around next week.

**Proposal** : **[[2508 Grant] M4 Infrastructure Ventures Path to Ecosystem Growth](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/40311479255910787843931901695689726863274467410648363817677223046579077115755)**

**Vote** : Against

**Rationale:** Truly appreciate your work @Francisco and the level of transparency in the milestone update. As we mentioned earlier in our review:

> [@\[2508 Grant\] Infrastructure VenturesPath to Ecosystem Growth](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/2508-grant-infrastructure-venturespath-to-ecosystem-growth/548/63):
>
> evaluation may need to go beyond simply measuring how many projects have been deployed. The more important question is how much sustained impact those projects ultimately create for Rootstock individually and collectively.

With that in mind, looking at the two remaining active projects, we have concerns about whether the M4 tranche is justified at this stage.

The amount being requested and the GTM plan don’t match. $15,000 is a significant ask under the new grant framework, and what’s been shared is primarily a set of social announcements, a gov forum post, tweets, and an internal Slack note. There’s no user acquisition strategy, no distribution plan, and no Rootstock-specific partnership activation. That doesn’t meet the bar.

The targets are also difficult to take at face value. SuperStake set a goal of 200K+ transactions and $300K+ volume within 2.5 months. Current actuals are 31 transactions, 8 wallets, and ~$1K in volume. The gap is wide enough that we’d expect a concrete plan explaining how it gets closed, not just an aspiration.

On Peach Bitcoin, we still have no data on how users are actually choosing Rootstock as a rail versus Bitcoin mainnet or Liquid Network. That question remains unanswered.

Given all of this, we’re not in a position to support the M4 tranche at this point.

**Vote** : For

**Rationale:** While we continue to support the Recognized Delegate Compensation program as it reflects on actual contribution, we’re still looking forward to a clarification on the eligibility criteria. The criteria in the update appears to differ from the conclusion that came out of the delegate discussion and voting, which means **the May results would look different if the eligibility criteria in the update were applied.**

**Vote** : For

**Rationale:** Since the frontend issue has been resolved and the proposal resubmitted under the correct milestone label, we’re in favor of supporting Milestone 4. We appreciate the team’s responsiveness throughout the review process. Every issue flagged by delegates was resolved promptly and verified, and the team has shown a consistent level of cooperation throughout.

**Vote** : Against

**Rationale:** We’re voting against Milestone 3 at this time. The DOC minting with MOC is a good addition but the KPI only asks for two working reference implementations, when what was agreed with Tane was the DOC Wink live on X with mainnet mints traceable to the embed. Working just means it runs in a demo. This is the same embed-to-transaction gap that didn’t close in M2 and there’s still no confirmation from MOC or a signed LOI.

**Vote** : For

**Rationale:** With the reduction to only $1,000 on the final milestone to cover part of the wallet infra costs, we support the M3 payout. The reporting deliverable was met and Blockscout is taking a loss to see the pilot through. That good faith deserves a clean closeout.

**Vote** : For

**Rationale:** The team has already delivered. They completed the full AON grant milestones, which we can verify, showing an active builder in the Bitcoin ecosystem who follows through. We’re therefore in favor of welcoming them onto Collective Rewards.

**Vote** : Against

**Rationale:** I’m voting against this proposal due to the errors @tamlerner raised in the group chat. The grant amount should be in USDRIF, not RBTC. I’ll assume this was an unintentional mistake. The title also doesn’t follow the required format. It should start with the year and month, like this:

> [@General Guidelines for Grant Applications](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/general-guidelines-for-grant-applications/94/8):
>
> Title Format: **[YYMM Grant] Project Name.  
> For example: _[2511 Grant 3] Amazing Protocol XYZ_**

@dzap Please resubmit the proposal once this proposal has ended, with the correct amount in USDRIF and the correct title format.
