Hello @Telaga thank you for your application! Can you please clarify the following in order to become eligible for a Snapshot vote.

1. Grant funds must be used to incentivize Arbitrum contracts and cannot be used to just provide liquidity. Can you please clarify how this piece of your application incentivizes an Arbitrum contract.

> 1. Deepening liquidity for ETH and ARB pubic good CL pools – 50,000 ARB

1. It also seems like you imply Chronos would be receiving rewards from this process. Even though you say you will recycle them, grantees are not eligible to farm their own incentives.

> As Chronos is the major voter to core CL pools, this will allow us to claw back the majority of deposited bribes.
