I’ve read a couple hundred delegate platforms and I’d believe there are two main themes:
- Decentralization for fairness, transparency, to foster education and avoid conflicts of interest
The structure and priority of this proposal aligns well with those goals in mind. In my opinion, this proposal should be compared with rather than against other grant programs. That said, I’d be happy to be a reviewer having done so previously for Aave and Compound. Additionally, @gauntlet is an Arbitrum delegate which I believe complements that stewardship role.
Disclosures: Conflicts of interest include direct work with Aave, Compound, and various other DAOs. I would recuse myself from any grant consideration including but not limited to grants seen as competitive to Gauntlet or from current/previous protocols or teams I have worked with.
