We support this backfunding proposal to increase the Stylus Sprint budget and fund the recommended applicants. Stylus is Arbitrum’s most significant differentiator in the competitive L2 landscape, making developer tooling for Stylus a top priority.
Given the strong demand from applicants, the high quality of submissions, and Stylus’s strategic importance to Arbitrum, we believe the DAO should consider making the Stylus Sprint a bi-annual initiative. This would provide additional opportunities for previously denied applicants to reapply while also attracting new applicants, ensuring a continuous cycle of new ideas.
