Round 2 Recap:
- Topic: Play to Earn, Reimagined
- Submissions open from January 22-25 at 9am EST (72 hours)
- Voting open from January 25 at 9am EST - January 27 at 9pm EST (60 hours)
- What went well:
- No internal disagreements this round like we had in Round 1; discussions seemed to be productive and everyone worked really well together
- Four great projects selected to award grants to
- Great job funding projects that (1) come from different areas of the world and (2) haven’t received prior funding of any kind
- What didn’t go well:
- Applications received were much lower than last week (11 this week vs 43 last week)
- Our topic was more niche this week so that could be a contributing factor
- Voting turnout less than last week (31% this week vs 38% last week) but still higher than our projected goal of 20%
- We nearly doubled our voting period based on feedback from last week that our voting period was too short, and we had a smaller voter turnout this week, which shows the longer voting time did not benefit the results
- Applications received were much lower than last week (11 this week vs 43 last week)
Round 2 Results:
- Applications received: 11
- Voting percentage: 30.7% (6,400.296 / 20,800)
