The following reflects the views of the Lampros DAO governance team, composed of Chain_L (@Blueweb), @Euphoria, and Hirangi Pandya (@Nyx), based on our combined research, analysis, and ideation.
We are voting FOR this proposal in the Snapshot voting.
We attended both office hours for this proposal and, after reviewing the details, we believe this initiative is worth funding. We support initiatives that remove financial barriers for new projects. Many early-stage teams struggle to secure funding, and audits are one of the most expensive yet essential steps before launching.
Looking at the ADPC’s Security Subsidy Fund Report, we see strong demand for such programs. In just 8 weeks of the program, ADPC received a competitive number of applications from teams. Extending this support for a full year makes sense given the clear demand and potential impact on ecosystem growth.
We also agree with @JoJo’s point that clear eligibility criteria should be outlined for protocols. It is important to define which protocols can apply to prevent the committee from being overwhelmed with applications. We would like to see these details clarified before the Tally vote.
And regarding the miscommunication between ADPC and the AF, we believe a structured communication channel between AF and DAO could help with which initiatives they are working on or planning for the future. Whether through monthly Governance Reporting Calls (GRCs) or forum updates, the DAO should be kept informed about ongoing initiatives. This will help avoid such overlapping efforts and improve coordination in the future.
