Vote: AGAINST
Rationale:
We originally intended to support this proposal following our support before, but their milestone 1 deliverable has some incomplete (or rather hallucinated by an AI, thus unintentional) context and we would like to signal our dissatisfaction by voting against it.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
We vote for this proposal for distributions based on the report by StableLab, which aligns with the need for a transparent and data-driven approach to delegate compensation. “Likes Received This Month” and “Recent Read Time” are acceptable metrics to be utilized while acknowledging they would be easily or unintentionally gamed in the future. Just to note, in the onchain proposal mentioned PGov is one of the Silver Tier delegates, but Curia is the one for this month as stated in the forum.
Disclaimer: we are a beneficiary of the delegate compensation via this proposal.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
We have confirmed the proposal created this time has its right format and transfer information. We continue to support the initiative as we supported the milestone 1 request before.
Vote: AGAINST
Rationale:
We keep finding minor untranslated texts and issues in the app even after pointing out a couple of them in the forum (while they have been addressed by the team.) There have been incomplete instructions in some tasks. In addition, there are too many tasks that require manual reviews, which isn’t scalable for many users.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
The Sandbox approach provides a controlled, transparent environment to test new vault mechanics and user experiences, with minimal treasury risk and clear caps on exposure. The UI/UX looks cohesively integrated into the current RC dapp. While we need to explore how to governance partners and mechanisms in the future, this experimentation should accelerate Rootstock’s product development and fostering collaboration among developers, builders, and users. It would be better if the transfer happens to a developer multisig, rather than a developer’s account.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
While we found an issue in how milestone 2 grant budget is planned and asked for a clarification in this comment, we believe the deliverables provided by its milestone 1 has been great and the team is ready for the next step.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
We vote for this proposal for distributions based on the report by StableLab, which aligns with the need for a transparent and data-driven approach to delegate compensation. The shift to a 30-day read time window ensures that compensation reflects recent, relevant engagement, and the open eligibility criteria lower barriers for new contributors.
Disclaimer: we are a beneficiary of the delegate compensation via this proposal.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
We voted against the proposal last time because multiple issues (untranslated texts, incomplete instructions, etc) still existed. This time, while we are still concerned about reliance on the manual operations (for example, the quests that we completed are still in review after a while), the app looks much better and we believe it’s ready for users to start interacting with it.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
While we have some doubt that the global wallet itself works for new Rootstock users, we appreciate the team’s effort to design the grant to make it work along with their subsidized capacity and budget and support the proposal. We will closely monitor the progress and the KPIs to be achieved per milestone.
Vote: AGAINST
Rationale:
The project progressed without the grantee completing KYC, which is a required prerequisite. In addition, we are not convinced that the requested grant would deliver meaningful impact, as the proposal does not provide sufficient verifiable or compelling data to support the expected outcomes of this deployment.
Vote: AGAINST
Rationale:
Aside from the discrepancy between the amount requested on-chain and the latest forum update, we would consider English support of the deliverables is required to proceed, otherwise we, as reviewers, can’t fully review them.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
We consider one of the M2 milestones “At least one platform integrates this AON functionality through a live project launch” not fully achieved because it should be a platform other than Geyser. However, seeing other deliverables are fully delivered and the Geyser AON campaigns have been doing well, we decided to continue our support for the project and its marketing milestone with an additional budget allocated.
Vote: AGAINST
Rationale:
We support the general direction of the proposal and appreciate the team’s approach to address feedback and improve the proposal. However, we haven’t seen a complete version of the proposal with clear deliverables and milestone details in a post, thus we vote against it this time.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
We vote for this proposal for distributions based on the report by StableLab, which aligns with the need for a transparent and data-driven approach to delegate compensation.
Disclaimer: we are a beneficiary of the delegate compensation via this proposal.
Vote: AGAINST
Rationale:
We are voting against this proposal for two primary reasons.
First, we are not convinced that this integration will generate meaningful impact for the Rootstock ecosystem, particularly given the limited track record and traction demonstrated on Base.
Second, as a one-person team, it will be challenging to execute a credible and sustained go-to-market strategy for a product of this scope and ambition.
Thank you for your rationale, though I respectfully disagree with your perspective.
First, the environment on Base is vastly different. There are no fewer than 10 top-tier aggregators and over 20 lesser-known ones, including specialized meme-coin aggregators and diverse wallet SDK entry points. Users there have an overwhelming number of choices. Furthermore, the Base ecosystem has not provided developer grants for at least a year and a half (based on public records).
In contrast, Rootstock is actively issuing grants to complete its ecosystem. Currently, SwaptoX’s only major competitor here is OpenOcean. Setting aside the competition, users currently lack alternatives; if a user cannot find a specific token on OpenOcean, what other choice do they have?
How should we judge the value of SwaptoX in these two different environments? On Base, SwaptoX might be optional for users. But on Rootstock, doesn’t it provide a necessary alternative?
You argue that 5 months of deployment on Base without significant traction proves a lack of appeal. While I admit we did not gain major traction on Base, it is illogical to assume SwaptoX will have no appeal on Rootstock. I believe running and maintaining a project for 5 months is a strength; it proves the developer’s capability for continuous maintenance and the ability to sustain operational costs. If SwaptoX had only launched today, how could I prove my ability to maintain it long-term?
Secondly, it is precisely because I am a solo developer facing immense challenges that I am applying for this grant. This funding will help me build a team in the future. If this project lacked significant challenges, what reason would there be to apply for a grant?
I look forward to your response.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
The updated milestones and deliverables make sense. We have confirmed that the validator’s English support is a part of M3. We continue to support the development of this project.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
We have voted in favor of the Milestone 3 proposal, as the overall direction of the program appears constructive. (We made a follow-up comment about M2 deliverables)
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
Milestone 2 is a clear distribution unlock via Lemon (5.5M users) with seamless KYC handoff, which materially improves conversion odds versus standalone onboarding. The $15K ask (including the +$5K acceleration) is justified to move faster and validate real transaction flows, with the expectation that Milestone 3 is later re-scoped to avoid overlap.
Vote: FOR
Rationale:
We appreciate the team’s effort to revise the proposal to our suggestion, and we decide to support the current form (v2.1). We will continue to diligently review the deliverabls for the next milestone proposals.
