=== COMMENTING ON PROPOSAL: ===

The “Stylus Sprint” program is an innovative step towards promoting the adoption of Arbitrum’s Stylus technology by incentivizing developers to create foundational tooling and applications. The program’s milestone-based funding model is well thought out, as it minimizes the risk of misallocated funds and encourages ongoing engagement and accountability from participating teams. I appreciate the transparency and expertise introduced through the Evaluation Committee, which includes members from Offchain Labs, OpenZeppelin, and experienced DAO participants like SEEDGov and JoJo. This adds significant credibility and assures that grants will be allocated based on impact potential and technical value.

However, as noted by several contributors, enhancing the program’s metrics for success and developing a more robust marketing strategy will be critical. Regular communication updates, both to the DAO and the broader community, will ensure that we are informed about progress and any challenges. Additionally, continuous marketing efforts across Arbitrum’s channels are essential for drawing a diverse and skilled pool of applicants.
