Proposal: Introduce the BTC Vault (Sandbox Mode) on the RootstockCollective dApp
Voted: For
Rational: We voted in a favor for this proposal, as it’s a low risk, that provide a great potential for the Rootstock Dapp, and with no cost (other than a symbolic 1 USDRIF). We are excited that RTLabs continues to build out the funtionality and use of the RT Dapp for a potential rBTC yield to the treasury, and improves the use case of rBTC.
Proposal: [2603] Introduce a 90% Maximum Allocation to Backers to Ensure Builders Retain Meaningful Rewards
Voted: FOR
Rationale: Even without clear data on how frequently extreme allocations occur, introducing a simple constraint to preserve builder upside seems reasonable. Misaligned incentives at the margins can have outsized effects on both participation and outcomes.
That said, this should be revisited over time with better data, to ensure we’re iterating in a way that remains both effective and proportionate.
Proposal:[Grant 2604] Recognized Delegate Compensation - March 2026
Voted: For
Rational: The Delegate compensation rewards continue to recognize delegates who are strengthening governance with proactive engagement to ensure that treasury funds are measurable, accountable and provide the most impact.
Proposal: [2603 Grant] Updated: Bitcoin India Tour Phase-3 X Rootstock India
Voted: Against
Rationale: While the initiative may be promising, there is limited clarity on sponsor positioning and overall strategy at the proposed scale. It is unclear how Rootstock’s presence would be maintained across events with potential co-sponsors.
Additionally, the path to measurable impact for Rootstock adoption is not well defined. The proposal lacked granularity on how airtime and content would translate into specific actions — whether driving developer onboarding or end-user engagement — as the current format appears more geared toward awareness.
Proposal: [2510] Grant Proposal - Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) sandbox rootstock integration - Milestone 3
Vote: For
Rational: We voted in favor of this proposal, as the proposal author have exceeded Milestone 2 requirements by delivering an enterprise-grade security suite, including a clean professional audit and over 59,000 automated stress tests. Their commitment to operational transparency through real-time monitoring and gas-optimized batching provides the necessary confidence for a secure Mainnet launch. We support the funding of Milestone 3 based upon the team’s technical rigour and their proactive approach to Rootstock’s security standards. We also voted against the duplicate proposal that was posted mistakenly by the author for governance clarity. Full details of our voting reasoning can be seen on the forum proposal.
Appreciate your feedback @DAOstar_gov. I think this is a great assumption to validate on Thursday’s call with RLabs events manager. I will link it in the Additional Contributions from Delegates thread and also add it to the Rootie_Bot agent database so we can track the assumption as it evolves.
Proposal: [2601 Grant] SwaptoX Aggregator – Milestone2
Voted: For
Rationale:
M1 completion was well documented, with verified on-chain transactions, public contract addresses, a demo video, and 44 supported tokens exceeding the 30-token target.
M2 has gone through multiple iterations as a result of transparency in the M1 completion report and to delegate feedback (split routing and contract security).
The revised scope is more technically robust than the original, though the total grant cost will now exceed the initial $15,000. It does seem a worthwhile trade-off.
Proposal: [1304 Grant Proposal] TYKORA Prize Vaults for DoC & USDRIF (Tropykus Yield) | JXLabs - M1
Voted: FOR
Rationale:
@jxlabs was highly responsive to delegate feedback, incorporating concrete safeguards around draw liveness, manual intervention, and transparency into measurable operational commitments.
Importantly, beyond TVL, the inclusion of qualitative user feedback in Milestone 3 provides valuable insight into consumer engagement on Rootstock.
