@karpatkey to clarify, I’m not the one putting forward this proposal. I helped review it before it was posted here, and I personally know the people behind it so I have a lot of context about it, but I’m not the service provider putting it forward to the DAO.
But I’m asking the DAO Events budget team above to clarify on the process for service providers to access the funds in the recently approved events budget for 2025, because I think that’s an important issue and different from what you’ve stated previously that Entropy and that team would be deciding on the events to be funded from that budget. I don’t think that’s the case. Their proposal specifically says that other service providers can come forward to the DAO to ask for part of that budget for events by following the normal governance process, but not needing to go through a more morose onchain vote to get the funds.
@pedrob in regards to going for the future questbook Events domain, this service provider, the people behind ETH Bucharest, already got a questbook grant last season, to do an Arbitrum Stylus Workshop and Hackathon in Bucharest, a few weeks ago.
I personally helped with this Arbitrum Stylus Workshop and Hackathon by giving one of the workshops in the event, mentoring the hackathon participants and judging the submissions. I was paid for that and I disclosed my earning as I usually do, in this forum thread here.
This proposal now, seeks more funding than the amounts normally available through the Questbook domains, so I don’t think it makes sense to go through the Questbook channel, but to the DAO Events Budget for 2025 that was recently approved.
