[2603 Grant] Updated: Bitcoin India Tour Phase-3 X Rootstock India (Onchain)
Vote: AGAINST
Rationale:
We recognize the team’s responsiveness to delegate feedback and the restructured Milestone 1 (15 events, $3,000), which is a reasonable starting point. The track record of 76+ events across India is credible.
We voted against for two reasons. First, the Rootstock-specific KPIs are too soft. The only on-chain metric is “10-15 new stakers per event”; the remaining metrics (wallet signups, interest forms, Telegram joins) do not reliably measure ecosystem impact. Second, the Rootstock presentation materials have not been shared for review. The existing deck contains no Rootstock content. We are not comfortable funding Rootstock education before the educational content has been reviewed by delegates. We applied the same standard to the Rootstock India proposal and believe it should apply consistently.
We would be happy to support a resubmission with revised materials and harder KPIs.
