The vote was to allocate 50m ARB, not 60m, 70m, or 80m. To arbitrarily allocate more to projects because the outcome was undesirable isn’t how votes work.

> # UPDATE: 50M ARB Budget Reached:
> 
> As of now the 50M ARB budget for STIP has been exceeded. This means there will be no Round 2 as there is no budget remaining.
> 
> Should the DAO wish to extend this framework, it may create a second proposal to either extend the budget for STIP to fund a Round 2 program OR create a proposal for an additional program to help meet the community’s extended demand for grants
> 
> I will continue to provide updates on the status of the funding as the voting period comes to an end.

The options here are create a new independent proposal all together or run a round 2
