Geyser All-or-Nothing Crowdfunding powered by Rootstock
Voted: Abstain, Geyser is a proven platform with a strong track record, but they’ve already raised over $500k from investors. Using grant funds for a core feature that benefits their for-profit model feels misaligned.

RootstockArabia: Awareness, Education & Ecosystem Growth Initiative;Hello everyone,
Voted: Abstain, While the mission to bring Rootstock to a new region is commendable, the plan raises questions about its sustainability. A $7,500 budget for three months of ambitious content creation, community management, and partnership outreach seems insufficient to create lasting impact.

Voted:
This project tackles a real and deeply human problem: the long-term inheritance of Bitcoin. Supporting the first milestone is a low-risk vote for a crucial security audit, which shows a responsible, security-first approach before any mainnet launch. It’s a sensible way to back a much-needed solution.

Alphaday RSK Data Aggregator Dashboard;Alphaday is a comprehensive crypto dashboard platform designed to solve blockchain’s information fragmentation. Serving multiple ecosystems through bespoke dashboards, this proposal focuses on creating a dedicated RSK interface that brings together blogs, news, forums, governance discussions, market data, podcasts, and more into one community-centric hub. By lowering entry barriers for unbanked, underbanked, experienced users, and developers, Alphaday highlights RSK’s low costs, fast transactions, and scalability. By placing Ethereum and RSK (Bitcoin-based) dApps side-by-side—what we call “visibility architecture”—users can directly compare DeFi opportunities, costs, and performance, making RSK’s advantages immediately clear.
Voted:
For, A fragmented ecosystem is a huge barrier for newcomers. Creating a single, reliable hub for news, data, and governance makes Rootstock far more accessible for everyone. The idea of a “visibility architecture” that lets users directly compare RSK with Ethereum is a particularly smart way to showcase the network’s strengths.
