Additional Context and Rationale for this Mission Request
I’m requesting a budget 250k OP budget for this Mission Request, which is an increase from the previously approved 75k OP and equal to the amount that I originally requested. This is based on the following:
-
The original 250k OP request better reflects the potential impact and scope of this initiative.
-
The previously approved Mission Request with a 75k OP budget was a compromise due to various factors, including time constraints.
-
Over the past months, I’ve been in communication with several grants council members about the potential for an increased budget.
-
I’ve created a mission proposal as a first step based on the limited budget available, but there are additional development phases and other related Missions I’d like to propose that could create profound benefits for the Collective.
-
Several other applicants have already applied for this Mission, and nearly half of the current budget has been allocated. This demonstrates strong interest and the need for additional funding.
-
The increased budget will allow for more comprehensive implementations of onchain social games, potentially attracting more builders to Optimism.
