RetroPGF Round 3 Feedback Thread

Hello Jaack,

You are clearly referring to my own framework here, which has a screenshot of an early iteration of scoring. As I mentioned to you in DMs, I can only go on public information, which suggests that Routescan was spun out of AvaLabs and is actively seeking venture funding. I’ve been pretty clear that I prioritised bootstrapped teams, providing genuine open source public goods, over accelerated, funded teams that can entrench a product or service before introducing fees or withdrawing.

It may be the case that I made a mistake here. However, if you had spent as much time putting detail into your application as you did writing your substack post, then perhaps the assessment would have been different. Unfortunately Badgeholders don’t have time to go beyond said application and public information.

Edit: to note, there is no way for badgeholders to be able to submit in the first weeks, especially those who have full time commitments. It’s not a paid job and as you say yourself, you want adequate assessment.

Cheers,

Nick
