Hey @InfinityWallet
Giving you a heads up that all our communication will be on this forum. Grants council comprises @Gonna.eth @kaereste @danelund.eth and myself.
Critical milestones look good, but I’m not entirely clear on how to differentiate these from the benchmark milestones, which are also effectively deployment milestones.
I think you could stand to include some benchmark milestones that demonstrate not just progress but success of this program, something that tracks use, onboarding, connections, etc.
Completion of benchmark milestones is not required for the full award of a grant; rather, the completion or non-completion of benchmark milestones will inform the community of a proposer’s commitment to the Optimism community and may factor into future grant decisions.
