[2509] RootstockCollective Ambassador Proposal — Searching for Collective Ambassadors
Vote: Yes
Rationale:
This is a modest and strategically aligned initiative to expand RootstockCollective’s presence into Japan, the UAE, and Hong Kong. The budget of 9,000 USDRIF for three months is low relative to the potential visibility benefits, and the program includes clear deliverables and Foundation oversight. While impact measurement remains mostly promotional and pilot results are still pending, the risk is limited and the upside is valuable.
[0907 Grant Proposal] Rootstock QuestHub – Milestone 2
Vote: For
Rationale:
Milestone 1 was completed and verified with all deliverables matching the agreed scope. Releasing the $3,000 (RIF) for Milestone 2 is consistent with the approved milestone structure.
[2508 Grant Proposal] All-or-Nothing Crowdfunding with Rootstock - Milestone 2
Vote: For
Rationale: After reviewing the repo and updates, I can confirm that all Milestone-1 deliverables have been completed as promised. The core contract logic, tests, CLI + Docker setup, and documentation are in place, with the bonus of cross-chain swap hooks. Minor issues (SPDX headers, chain-ID mismatch in docs) are non-blocking and can be addressed before the next phase. Solid delivery overall — Milestone-1 accepted, and looking forward to the audit and first live integration in Milestone-2.
[2508 Grant] Fund the NetX State platform MVP on Rootstock and support the first two local node activations representing Rootstock
Vote: Against
Rationale:
The idea explores an inspiring direction, ReFi and network states are among the most meaningful experiments in crypto today, and Argentina is a natural testing ground with many active Rootstock builders. That said, the proposal feels too early for funding. It lacks a defined testnet milestone, a viable business model, and clear near-term deliverables to justify the requested amount.
I encourage the team to join upcoming calls and collaborate with other builders and delegates in the ecosystem. With sharper milestones and a more concrete roadmap, this concept could mature into a valuable contribution to the Rootstock ecosystem.
[1410] JXLabs | BΔLT – Milestone 3
Vote: For
Rationale: The team met all prior commitments with verified mainnet delivery and user engagement. This milestone funds the final growth phase to expand adoption and demonstrate tangible Bitcoin utility within the Rootstock ecosystem.
[0907] Rootstock QuestHub – Milestone 3
Vote: For
Rationale: The team delivered a secure, production-ready platform that already supports Rootstock’s educational missions. This milestone continues that momentum, expanding QuestHub’s capacity to coordinate incentives and track verified impact across the ecosystem.
[1507 Grant Proposal] ONG Bitcoin Argentina – Scaling Rootstock Adoption Through Education (Milestone 2)
Vote: For
ONG Bitcoin Argentina successfully delivered Milestone 1 and now requests Milestone 2 for the Rootstock DeFi training. The proposal remains fully aligned with Rootstock Collective’s education objectives and carries low delivery risk.
[2510] Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) Sandbox Rootstock Integration – Milestone 1
Vote: For
Rationale:
The proposal presents a reasonable experiment to explore decentralized identity on Rootstock through a working SSI sandbox integrated with smart contracts for CID storage. The team has relevant experience in digital identity and public-sector projects, and the deliverables for this first milestone are technically sound and verifiable. That said, the initiative should be closely monitored across subsequent milestones to ensure meaningful Rootstock integration and real adoption beyond the proof-of-concept stage.
[2510] RootstockCollective Ambassador Renewal – 1-Year Extension (M1)
Vote: For
Rationale:
The pilot showed consistent results in content, events, and community engagement. Both ambassadors met most KPIs and demonstrated strong reliability. Renewal ensures continuity and growth across LATAM, with a mid-term review to adjust metrics toward impact-based outcomes.
[2510 Grant] Timelock and Multisig Governance tool for Rootstock - Milestone 1
Vote: For
Rationale:
Supporting Milestone 1 allows TRU Web3 to complete the design and architecture phase for two essential governance-security tools, a Timelock UI and a Multisig Verification Tool, both open-source and Rootstock-adapted. The scope and cost ($800) are well-defined and proportional, and the team has solid technical expertise.
[2508] Infrastructure Ventures – Path to Ecosystem Growth
Vote: For
Rationale:
The proposal establishes a six-month acceleration program designed to attract and prepare strong projects for integration into the Rootstock ecosystem, directly supporting network growth and RIF staking adoption. It complements Rootstock Collective’s work by focusing on the early-stage sourcing and readiness phase, rather than duplicating existing efforts. The revised milestone structure, with smaller and outcome-based tranches, is a sound approach to limit exposure while testing program effectiveness. Approving the first two milestones ($10,000 total) is a reasonable starting point to evaluate real progress. Future funding should be assessed milestone by milestone, based strictly on public delivery evidence and clear ecosystem impact.
[2510 Grant] Zerem Finance – Real World Asset (RWA) Lending Aggregator
Vote: Against
Rationale:
Zerem’s proposal moves in a direction that fits well with Rootstock’s broader goals of expanding Bitcoin utility into real-world lending and real estate. The vision is strong, and it is encouraging to see new builders exploring this space with genuine engagement and openness to feedback.
That said, the first milestone could be more focused and better aligned with the project’s current development stage. Starting with a smaller, verifiable phase centered on integrations and tangible delivery would help build confidence and make future milestones more robust.
This vote reflects that perspective: appreciation for the initiative and encouragement to refine the first step so that upcoming phases can progress with greater clarity and accountability.
[Grant 2511] Recognized Delegate Compensation – October 2025
Vote: For
Rationale:
This proposal executes the first monthly payment under the Recognized Delegate Compensation program, previously approved by the community. It rewards active delegates based on transparent engagement metrics and verified participation. Supporting it reinforces accountability and continuity in Rootstock Collective’s governance operations.
[0907 Grant Proposal] Rootstock QuestHub — Milestone 4
Vote: Against
Rationale:
The on-chain proposal includes errors and the milestone deliverables are not yet fully complete. The team has acknowledged these issues and stated they will fix them and resubmit the proposal once ready. We support this approach and look forward to reviewing the updated submission.
[2514 Builder Activation] Beexo Wallet – The Mobile Hybrid Standard for Rootstock Adoption
Vote: For
Rationale:
I already voted in favor of this Builder Activation on September 1, but since it didn’t reach quorum, the team has resubmitted it on-chain. I’m supporting it again, as Beexo continues to be one of the most practical wallets for Rootstock adoption, focused on usability, education, and bringing real users into the ecosystem.
[2508 Grant Milestone 2] Winks.fun – On-chain actions on Rootstock within Twitter
Vote: AGAINST
Rationale: The submission doesn’t follow the standard milestone format, so we’re requesting a corrected re-submission before evaluating. This is not a vote against the milestone itself.
[2510 Grant] Timelock and Multisig Governance Tool for Rootstock – Milestone 2
Vote: For
Rationale:
Milestone 2 corresponds to the Timelock UI development and is part of the engineering budget already approved in the original grant. The team has delivered the expected work for this phase, and releasing this payment is consistent with the agreed milestone structure. Further milestones will still require separate review.
Building Rootstock Community of Developers and Users in Ghana – Milestone 1
Vote: For
Rationale:
The team revised the proposal after feedback and now presents clearer KPIs and a more realistic structure for the activation phase. This milestone is limited in scope and serves to validate whether the initiative can produce meaningful engagement, so releasing this payment is reasonable while keeping expectations measured for later milestones.
[Grant 2512] Recognized Delegate Compensation – November 2025
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
Standard monthly execution of the delegate compensation program. Tiering and metrics were disclosed transparently, no risks or deviations from the approved framework, and payouts are consistent with the program’s mandate.
Winks.fun — On-chain actions on Rootstock within Twitter
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
The team has delivered the required work to this point, with the core SDK and Rootstock integrations validated. Given this progress, it’s reasonable to support the continuation of development, and we’ll review the next set of deliverables once they’re submitted.
