Title: NumbaNERDs Discord Call - 1

Date & Time: February 6th, 2024, 10:00 - 11:00 AM CT

Attendees: Approximately 18 Participants

Call driven by: vonnie610

1. Posting the Grants Misuse Reporting Process Infographic

The Grants Misuse Reporting Process infographic was discussed and successfully posted on the forum.

Here is the link: Grant Misuse Reporting Process - #13 by Chain_L

2. Grant Misuse Verification Process

Review of the steps involved:

  • Stop to look at updates of the grant for context.

  • Verify the starting address or the address that received the grants.

  • Follow tokens from the received address to tokens today, delving into the details of grant usage.

  • Determine if it meets the criteria of misuse.

3. Via Protocol Grant Misuse Report Deep-dive and Sample Run

Basic steps for investigation were outlined:

  • Checking if the grant proposal was passed.

  • Following on-chain transactions on Optimism Etherscan.

  • Checking Twitter accounts for announcements.

  • Conducting an objective verification of the Grants Misuse Reports.

4. Queries and Concerns

  • Report Writing and Verification: NumbaNERDs can collaborate to create reports. Reports will not be assigned to specific individuals, allowing proactive participation. Validation of reports is limited to NumbaNERDs.

  • Preserving Anonymity: Reporters and NumbaNERDs are responsible for maintaining their own anonymity. Consideration was given to using a common account for posting reports.

  • Objective Criteria for Becoming a NumbaNERD: Proposal to create a framework where potential NumbaNERDs progress from “wannabe NumbaNERDs” to “NumbaNERDs-in-training” and eventually to full-fledged NumbaNERDs.

Action Items:

  • Develop a framework for transitioning potential NumbaNerds to full-fledged NumbaNerds.

  • Consider the implementation of a common account for posting reports to preserve anonymity.

Next Meeting: TBD
