Proposal: [2512 Grant 1] RootStock Global Wallet by Blockscout
Vote: For
Rationale: We’re supportive of Global Wallet by Blockscout proposal as the team have already revise the milestone based on the feedback from delegates by reducing the grant size, clarifying milestones and costs, and adding onramps that help improve Web2 to Web3 onboarding.
Proposal: [2601 Grant] SwaptoX Aggregator – Milestone 1
Vote: Against
Rationale: We’re voting against the SwaptoX Aggregator proposal because the team did not complete the mandatory KYC step as required by the Rootstock Collective grant process.
Proposal: [2510] Grant Proposal - Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) sandbox rootstock integration - Milestone 2
Vote: Against
Rationale: We do not support releasing funds for the second milestone due to failure to deliver Milestone 1 within the agreed timeline, which was originally planned to be completed within one month but experienced significant delays. In addition, a team member, Manuel Rico Molina, previously received funding under [2507 Grant] BTCFi for Institutions: Multisig Custody with DeFi Access on Rootstock – Milestone 1, for which we have not seen any public updates since approval. Taken together, these inconsistencies and lack of disclosure indicate insufficient reporting discipline and raise concerns about the team’s level of commitment.
Proposal: [2508 Grant Proposal] All-or-Nothing Crowdfunding with Rootstock - Milestone 3
Vote: For
Rationale: We’re in favor of the Milestone 3 focus on go-to-market and adoption of AON crowdfunding. Supporting campaigns that are close to reaching their goals makes sense, and the additional $2,000 seems reasonable as a small traction budget to help push near-complete campaigns over the line so they can receive their funds.
Proposal: [2601 Grant] Loan interest return to boost bitcoin-backed circular economies - Milestone 1
Vote: Against
Rationale: While we appreciate the concept, we are not yet fully convinced. We do not currently see a clear benefit for Rootstock in subsidizing user interest as a mechanism for onboarding. As you mentioned:
However, we do not see any KPI, milestone, or deliverable in the proposal that would clearly attract new USD depositors. As designed, the pilot only subsidizes borrowing demand and does not include a USD supply-side growth strategy. Even if borrowing volume is cumulative over six months, we believe a clear and explicit plan for supply-side growth is essential for this initiative to deliver meaningful protocol value to Rootstock.
Proposal: [Grant 2602] Recognized Delegate Compensation - January 2026
Vote: For
Rationale: We support the release of funding for delegate compensation for the month of January, as delegates are a crucial part of the Rootstock Collective and this program ensures they are fairly compensated for their contributions.
