We’re in favor of increasing the budget. After reviewing the applications and their potential impact, it’s clear that that the program had high-quality proposals unable to move forward (pyth’s high performance oracle implementation, solang support, nuffle’s stylus based contracts, among others.) The additional 4M ARB will allow to fund initiatives that align with Arbitrum’s growth and it is a strategic move to solidify Stylus as a core Arbitrum advantage.
