[Non-Constitutional] Funds to Bolster Foundation’s Strategic Partnerships Budget

I voted FOR in this proposal.

I don’t have strong opinions on the amount requested. To be honest, at this point, focusing on growth and a robust ecosystem is important compared to other alternatives.

It also seems reasonable to focus on one ecosystem for now rather than others, particularly gaming in this case.

I do agree with some colleagues above that it should be aligned with GCP to avoid overlap and create a greater impact on the ecosystem.

With Orbit expansion, Stylus, and the entire Arbitrum infrastructure, a significant communications challenge is necessary to abstract the complexity.

Since the funds are coming from the DAO, I would appreciate a more low-level transparency report. So far, it has been high-level, which is fine, but for an exercise like this, based on precedents, it would be nice to see how this process unfolds in the future.

That’s it. I’m intrigued to see the future of the ecosystem. I genuinely believe in the potential of this to become infrastructure for L3 projects and huge on chain activity. The push for large Web2 companies jumping into this seems key to me. For example, Sony jumping into Superchain, Starknet, and gaming-focused platforms are things that we’ve been competing with so far.

I believe these resources should serve and provide relief to achieve these goals, which seems aligned to me.
