Please describe your philosophy on what makes a good Mission Application:
Efficient and effective use of funds in line with Optimism Vision and Goals set for Season 6.
- Building use cases relevant for the user and industry. Need not be innovative in the
blockchain, financial or any other segment but caters to making it useable, simple and
relevant. - Milestones are well defined with metrics and timelines.
- Bootstrapping relevant ecosystem primitives
- Feedback loop between Superchain/ Optimism and grantees
- Deep and well thought research to be provided to the committee on relevance and need
allowing reviewing to be focused and relevant. - Well thought distribution plans
- Committed team to Optimism and the space we are in.
What types of Mission Requests do you think will help achieve the Season 6 Intents?:
-
Optimism along with Superchain has shown great focus on developing, supporting the builder
folks but also Season 5 was focused on bigger projects. I would like to see some % allocation
to smaller projects and also encourage first time applications. As the combination will bring in a
positive wave with the entire ecosystem. -
If researches are to be believed and my understanding DeFi especially staking and restaking
will have high relevance building projects around this will support the overall ecosystem. -
Entering new avenues like gaming, RWAs and the user wallet space has great potential.
Please disclose any anticipated conflicts of interest: If you are a top 25 delegate in another ecosystem, hold an elected position in another DAO, and/or are a multisig signer in another community please disclose here. NA
