Their DeFi automation tooling aligns well with Rootstock’s interoperability and composability goals. ---

Despite process gaps, Beexo is live and adds value to Rootstock’s mobile UX, a key component for onboarding new users. ---

The inclusion of clear KPIs and a performance-based review makes it a promising first step. ---
**Author:** ![Kaf\_Anode](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/user_avatar/gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/kaf_anode/32/940_2.png) [@Kaf\_Anode](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/u/Kaf_Anode)\ **Post date:** [June 12, 2025, 10:15am UTC](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/stablelab-delegate-thread/416/11 "2025-06-12T10:15:52Z")
### Proposal: [Vottun – Rootstock Developer Track](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/1378256853286212607164752901967425247008656012142168021449477937577358387247) **Vote:** For **Rationale:** We support this builder activation as it aligns closely with the Collective’s goal of expanding Rootstock’s developer ecosystem. Vottun has an existing integration with Rootstock, a solid technical foundation, and a proven ability to execute, as shown by their successful hackathon collaboration in 2024. The proposed “Rootstock Developer Track” leverages gamified quests, APIs, and practical learning paths to attract new builders and help them deploy real applications on Rootstock. This is a scalable initiative with low execution risk and strong alignment with ecosystem needs. ---

### [[25.06] Grant application - roketto [Wave 1]](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/7354510546620819898130275296263863528334479787548136347477322327989970392255) **Vote:** Against **Rationale:** I support what Roketto is building and see potential in their contribution to the Rootstock ecosystem. That said, I’ve leaned towards voting against this proposal in its current form. A more phased structure, starting with a smaller initial wave for testnet, and tying subsequent funding to concrete milestones like mainnet deployment, would improve alignment and reduce execution risk. I’d be happy to reconsider if a revised version is submitted. ---

LayerBank brings real traction and a clear plan to contribute to Rootstock’s DeFi stack, with features like one-click leverage vaults and upcoming omnichain liquidity tools that can drive usage, capital efficiency, and long-term growth. ---
**Author:** ![Kaf\_Anode](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/user_avatar/gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/kaf_anode/32/940_2.png) [@Kaf\_Anode](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/u/Kaf_Anode)\ **Post date:** [June 19, 2025, 11:00am UTC](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/stablelab-delegate-thread/416/14 "2025-06-19T11:00:02Z")
**Proposal: [Builder Activation – Symbiosis](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/72518420458809035698080136606384420085978657953135434932432275448795118766285)** **Vote:** For **Rationale:** Symbiosis is already live on Rootstock and provides a valuable cross-chain bridge that aligns with our goal of improving interoperability. With over $4.3B in volume and strong multi-chain traction, this activation rewards meaningful infrastructure without requiring upfront funding. It’s a good example of value-first contributions that the Collective should continue to support. ---

### [Geyser – All-or-Nothing Crowdfunding with Rootstock](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/17791543736589491977592338050000875204277413452245726417302439600306638921881) **Vote: Against** **Rationale:** I totally support the Geyser team and their mission to expand Bitcoin-native crowdfunding using Rootstock. That said, the current proposal is framed as a grant request ($20K), but the intention seems more aligned with the **Collective Rewards program**. Given the mismatch between format and intent, and in the interest of process clarity, I’m voting **against** the proposal in its current form. I’d encourage a re-submission under the proper category to keep things consistent and set the right precedent. ---
**Author:** ![Kaf\_Anode](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/user_avatar/gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/kaf_anode/32/940_2.png) [@Kaf\_Anode](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/u/Kaf_Anode)\ **Post date:** [June 27, 2025, 10:20am UTC](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/stablelab-delegate-thread/416/16 "2025-06-27T10:20:07Z")
### [[25.06] Grant application - roketto [Wave 1 - Re-evaluated]](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/84839804494917645044937545819570878521289494579502654110592938037725400968986) **Vote: Against** **Rationale:** I support the goal of making token launches easier and safer on Rootstock, and appreciate the team’s willingness to revise the proposal. However, even after the updates, key elements are still missing, especially clear Wave 1 milestones, public code or specs, and a stronger Rootstock-specific value proposition. As it stands, it’s not ready for a full grant. I’d recommend refining the plan and perhaps starting via Collective Rewards to build traction first. ---

But this proposal doesn’t really follow the grant process yet: they split the work into three months but plan a single payment instead of milestone-based payouts unlocked step by step. They also mention previous experience but share no concrete examples, there’s little team detail, and almost no interaction with the community so far. I’d encourage them to come back with clearer milestones, proof of past work, and more community engagement before requesting funds. ---

This builder activation makes sense as a way to expand the liquidity and tooling options. ---

However, this proposal was submitted as a builder activation when it’s actually a grant request. Given the mismatch, I’m voting against in its current form and encourage a proper resubmission under the grant framework with milestone-based disbursements. ---
**Author:** ![Kaf\_Anode](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/user_avatar/gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/kaf_anode/32/940_2.png) [@Kaf\_Anode](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/u/Kaf_Anode)\ **Post date:** [July 17, 2025, 8:44pm UTC](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/stablelab-delegate-thread/416/20 "2025-07-17T20:44:01Z")
[**[2505 Grant Proposal] Aconcagua Finance & Boveda.ai**](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz/proposals/73770843702388692115223598956763345786824849256595346312890474702292536211947) **Vote: Against** **Rationale:** While I appreciate the follow-up and willingness to clarify, the proposal isn’t ready for funding in its current form. There’s no public repo or auditable contracts, and limited visibility into technical progress or dev activity. The requested amount is relatively high for a testnet-stage milestone, and it’s difficult to assess the outcome of their previous grant (2410), as the forum thread is no longer accessible. Open to revisiting this in the future once there’s more transparency, clearer deliverables, and stronger alignment with the grant framework.
