February/March 2025 Update
With the passing of the additional funding for recommended applications last week and it now being about 6 weeks since the Stylus Sprint kicked off, Entropy is happy to report that the majority of the teams have now completed the KYC/KYB process and have begun work on their deliverables. Sylow, CoBuilders (GUI for the Cache Manager), ArbOS Foundry, and Fiet Protocol (formerly Surety) have already submitted their first milestone reports to the committee for review and we expect several more in the next few weeks.
Due to both market conditions and upcoming updates to Stylus, the committee has had to work with a few applicants to adjust their milestone structures. For the most part this has been adding/adjusting details to the required deliverables at each step in order to make sure expectations on each side are fully aligned. So far adjustments to milestones have been limited to StylusFuzz, Syndicate, Wakeup Labs, Passport.xyz, and Fiet Protocol. The committee will soon be posting the full details and changes as a comment underneath the respective applications on Questbook and will update the DAO if there are other applications that require adjustments.
Social highlights have already started being posted from official Arbitrum accounts and Entropy is coordinating with OCL’s marketing team to set up additional co-marketing opportunities for the participants. For delegate’s convenience, Entropy has created a X (Twitter) list of all the Stylus Sprint participants that can be followed to help amplify any posts.
Lastly, each Stylus Sprint participant is required to submit a monthly update document to the committee. This is to help us keep teams accountable and identify potential obstacles/issues teams might be facing. Several teams did not have materials updates in February as they were completing KYC/KYB. With this now completed and development across all teams ramping up, we anticipate that there will be a more substantial update by the end of April.
