Thanks for this recap! It is amazing what has been achieved so far.
I have a few questions/suggestions about it and the path moving forward:
In your August update, there is this mention:
And, as we saw, especially protocol-wise, small protocols were not contemplated in this season of the incentive program. While I understand the mechanics of the program, can we have a list of the protocols that applied for the current season? We can only wonder if any small protocol was contacted and/or applied.
As we are calling ppl to build on Arbitrum, it would be nice to understand if DRIP’s door is closed to smaller protocols and/or we will see only extraordinary exceptions.
I’m raising this concern here as DRIP was the replacement of all the DAO’s incentive programs. Currently, a protocol only has the DRIP and the D.A.O. Grants program within the DAO to apply for growth, and it appears that we have a significant gap between the two that is not addressed anywhere.
As the previous comment from @TodayInDeFi hints, it would be interesting if season 2 starts before the season 1 ending (especially because we are talking about a 20-week season), to add composability between seasons and protocols, and make the liquidity even stickier.
Thanks in advance!
