We vote In favour, no onchain mechanism.
We are resonated with the general direction for the DAO to maintain the support Hackathon builders within the Arbitrum ecosystem and assist them to grow from a “hackathon winner” to a protocol that makes impact in the ecosystem.
We also appreciate the approach that the RnDAO matches what the Arbitrum DAO funds by roughly 50-50 ratio and provides continuous support for the builders. The milestone-based reward design also makes sense.
We are a little skeptical that the actual projects awarded in the hackathon can make reasonable impact, but we are certain they are evaluated diligently on their business opportunities and MVP development strategy by the competent team and contributors. From the DAO perspective, we believe it’s worth a try and believe in what the chosen teams can offer with support.
Some onchain mechanism is ideal to be objectively evaluated for their product usage, but the proposed solution doesn’t feel appropriate, thus we chose the “no onchain mechanism”.
