Argonaut Delegate Communication Thread

  • Proposal: Hackathon Continuation Program
  • Voting type & platform: Offchain - Snapshot
  • Vote: For - In favour, no onchain mechanism
  • Reasoning: We support this proposal because it fills an important gap where the DAO has failed to keep an eye on it. We have seen this before, when hackathons get carried away, and after they are over, the projects that came out of them, while good, do not move forward. There is a lot of expertise and experience that can be used to guide these projects to achieve their goals. Many times we have seen these projects and teams getting funding but nothing more than that, so supporting them and not just with money after receiving funding is a must and this is something that has not been happening. From the very beginning we indicated our support to this proposal and we continue to do so. Our only difficulty here was to understand the options for the on-chain mechanism as there was no explanation or maybe we missed it, but as the idea is something we support as indicated, we chose the option of no on-chain mechanism. We see that other delegates have also struggled to understand what this means, so we look forward to seeing this properly addressed if this proposal passes and reaches the tally.
