[Thales] [FINAL] [STIP - Round 1]

[Matt_StableLab]

Hello @padzank thank you for submitting! Please make the following changes to your proposal to comply with the program rules.

1. Please note the following regarding the expected timeline of the incentives program. Unfortunately, your 5-month timeline does not meet these requirements.

@tnorm

funds are expected to be distributed as they are received, and programs should aim to end before the end of the incentivization period on Jan. 31, 2024.

2. Grant funds are only to be used for incentives and are not permitted to be used for subgrants for builders. Additionally, grant funds can only be used for “Event Promotions” in the sense of providing incentives they can not fund the marketing/operational aspect of event promotions.

@tnorm

Can I use grant funding for operational costs?

Funds are to be kept in ARB and used to incentive Arbitrum contracts. This funding is not meant support development or operational costs.
