Proposal: [2603 Grant] RelayDevKit - Milestone 1

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.

Proposal: [Revised Scope] RelayDevKit - Milestone 1

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.

Proposal: Blockscout Global Wallet - Milestone 2

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.
