### 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

### Round 2 Results:

- Applications received: 11
- Voting percentage: 30.7% (6,400.296 / 20,800)
  - Down from 38% last week
  - But still above our goal of 20% when creating this program

- Winning grantees ([tweet](https://x.com/ThankArbitrum/status/1751817546993439111?s=20)):
  - (1) Stephen Ogbaje (Beningin) (1,265.951 votes)
  - (2) Dolor Vi (Smol Age) (1,103.8 votes)
  - (3) David Onyilimba (Play2Learn Games) (1,098 votes)
  - (4) Into the Dungeons: Machinata (903.936 votes)

Round 3 begins at 9am EST / 6am PST on Monday, January 29, 2024.
