I’m voting FOR this proposal on Snapshot. Just a few comments:
1. I believe the proposed timeline between the approval of the proposal on Tally and the start of the sprint is quite tight. Stylus is designed precisely to attract developers from other ecosystems. I suggest allocating a budget for a small marketing campaign, at least one month before the proposals window opens. This way, you can create awareness of the incentive program, and it will also give teams more time to prepare high-quality proposals, which is what you’re looking for.
2. One of the most difficult things to manage is oversight of the development process. I recommend having very clear rules regarding deadlines, milestone completion, potential reports (as others have suggested), and the consequences of failing to meet them. The LTIPP and B.STIP programs were too lenient with non-compliance, as there were no clear control roles or consequences.
3. Like with other proposals, I don’t understand why a new multisig is being created instead of using the DAOs MSS.
Congratulations and thank you for the initiative. The initial phase, when you start receiving applications, will be chaotic, turbulent, and exhausting. But the effort will be worth it.
