It offers a unique opportunity for participants to engage in an intensive and collaborative environment where they can develop innovative solutions to real-world challenges.

Hi Llili! I’m happy to see proposed missions than supports inclusion in web3! But I have a comment about this proposal, I’m not sure if you’re considering this…

First, the mission for Intent #3 should be completed by the end of the Season (Sept 20th)

Second, the OP tokens will be locked for one year

Maybe you can find an option with Intent #2 Growth Category (I’m not sure because that is for Novel Applications), reach Grants Council (Optimism Channel Grants :bow_and_arrow:). The deadline for Intent #2 is tomorrow and it’s another process.

3

and the alliances which is it? the deadline is today

4

Alliances are the people who work on the mission. Today’s is for missions under Intent #1, #3 and #4.

5

oka, got it. Thanks!!

6

Just flagging that this section is not yet complete recognise the numbers are included elsewhere may help to list again here…

Hi Lilian, I’m glad to see a proposal like this, events like this can really help onboard new users which might’ve ever had a chance before . I just had a couple questions I wanted to ask:

  • All Mission grants are locked for a period of one year. , which might not be a problem for the hackathon winners, but I see benchmarks which are coming relatively soon for the event. Could you give us more details on how your alliance will deal with these costs while waiting for the OP to unlock?
  • While the current KPIs are definitely strong measures of whether this event would follow the intent, could you give us more quantifiable measures for each of these KPIs to know whether these objectives were hit or not? How many participants are you planning to attend? What’s the expected diversity level? How many of the projects built during in this hackathon do we expect to become fully-fledged OP ecosystem projectS?

Hi Oxyocin, GM

  • All Mission grants are locked for a period of one year. , which might not be a problem for the hackathon winners, but I see benchmarks which are coming relatively soon for the event. Could you give us more details on how your alliance will deal with these costs while waiting for the OP to unlock?

—We can organise it with our money until the funding come to us. The idea is to put terms and conditions so that the prizes are delivered months later, that also helps us to have a tracking that they are developing it.

  • While the current KPIs are definitely strong measures of whether this event would follow the intent, could you give us more quantifiable measures for each of these KPIs to know whether these objectives were hit or not? How many participants are you planning to attend? What’s the expected diversity level? How many of the projects built during in this hackathon do we expect to become fully-fledged OP ecosystem projectS?

  • We want to reach more than 60 participants in all Peru & Latam.

  • About 30% outside of Peru, but within Latam and 20% from other regions of Peru.

  • We expect that within the OP ecosystem there will be approximately 15 of them.

If you have any questions, just let me know.

Thank you!!

Hey, we acepted all of those request or we need to do something else?

Hi all!

I think that the proposal is too ambitious for the state of the peruvian community at the moment, therefore this wouldn’t ended up helping the OP community.
I attended the event of the picture and a following event in Lima and there was a lot of people who didn’t even know what blockchain is and they were focused on trading. Even so, the talk about optimism was pressured in the middle of another panel that had NOTHING to do with optimism which demonstrates lack of professionalism of the alliances.
Saying this, i think that the peruvian community should be focused in onboarding and teaching the basics first and the moving to the next level like layer 2 technology and governance.
In addition, the budget requested is also too high for the latin american community, i think there should be more thought on that and present a new one if they persist on doing the event.

TL;DR: If we do not take care of the resources and help the community to use them wisely we would not continue growing.

As a contributor of @seedlatam for the @Joxes delegation, I have analyzed this mission following the criteria mentioned in this post.

Summarizing in concise lines the main points of this proposal:

  • The proposal doesn’t respect the format: “Breakdown of the Mission’s budget request”. Is not indicated.
  • Regarding the request: 40k OP - seems to be excessive for the impact it intends to have
  • It is not framed in the times, this must be completed at the end of the season (09/20); event date not yet defined, but after reference milestone 3 (12/18)
  • While accepted in subsequent comments; It is not established in the formal publication what the disbursements of $OP will be, since these will remain blocked for one year, they will not be available to cover event costs as defined in the proposal

hello, the HACKATHON will be next year, because this rest of the year we are going to focus on educating people, we will have tours throughout Peru and we will also organize educational workshops such as the Women Biz academy that will be 100% focused on educating on web3 from the essential.

we are considering a gap to give more for the girls’ projects and their implementation.
The details of the Budget we told the OP team that we will upload today.

On the other hand, the date will be next year, after the 3rd point. so this year we will focus on education throughout the regions of Peru and LATAM to exceed our expectations.

In Peru, it is known that Andino and WomenBiz are part of the same group. And among the DRAFTs, there are 3 requests between Andino and WomenBiz:

  • Latam Women Biz Hackathon in the OP Ecosystem: 40,000 OP
  • Optimism’s tour of universities in Peru: 43,530 OP
  • English Networking Club for testing web3 products with Optimism: 15,000 OP

In practice, they are requesting 93,530 OP. As a community, they have not worked with Optimism before, yet they applied for RetroFunding and received 21k OP without having conducted any retrospective activities with Optimism. Even after the results, they have not carried out any activities related to Optimism.

The only known fact is that they appear on social media mentioning that they received funds from OP. But do they receive funds just to mention that they received certain funds?

For example, the first photo refers to a side event of a blockchain event where blockchain companies like Hive or Metis attended, and WomenBiz only mentioned that they received public good funds from Optimism (at the precise moment the photo was taken).

On the other hand, WomenBiz/Andino contributed to the organization of the blockchain event, but there was not even a workshop on Optimism (even though they had already received funds by that time).

Honestly, it seems like they are requesting funds because it seemed easy for them to get them the first time. I am not saying that their objective cannot be good. But if they already have funds without having previously carried out activities, I believe it is appropriate to use them correctly and request additional resources based on subsequent measurements. Requesting nearly 93,530 OP sounds concerning, and that does a lot of harm to the Peruvian ecosystem. The promptness of these actions makes one think that they are doing it for the funds rather than for the growth of the ecosystem.

It’s as if adding “with OP” is enough for what happened in the RetroFunding to happen again. Finally, being an initiative that generates Public Goods does not entitle us to indiscriminately ask for funding in every financing round that comes up (both within the Optimism ecosystem and beyond).We must not only take care of Optimism’s health but also that of the entire ecosystem.

The Peruvian community has noticed this, and in a strange move, they only announced today that they will do something with Optimism for the first time.
