Absolutely not. It took us significant time to go through all proposals and we voted Yes for Paraswap, dForce, Balancer-BeethovenX, Pickle Finance and Mean Finance in this round.
Most other proposals fit into one or more of the following categories
-
Too much money ask for too little value add,
-
Mostly funding internal development (better to apply for VC funds if you’re building a venture),
-
Broad proposal, little detail, bad distribution of received funds
Key guiding principles are real value-add & long-termism. That said, we are interested in quality projects joining the Optimism ecosystem as well as smaller projects and we are keen on supporting new projects and tools - if they come up with a reaonable proposal in the future. In all funding decisions, we will be risk-taking but frugal and will not vote on not spending funds that we wouldn’t spend internally.
