Thank you, @Samater, for the RFI on a Quality Projects Grant Fund.
In the past quarter, based on community discussions and careful consideration of current priorities, we’ve decided to pause the direction of developing new grant programs for now. We had previous proposals, such as the DAO DeFi Grant Program proposal, which was paused in order to redirect focus toward other strategic initiatives.
Something currently being actively pursued by the Scroll Foundation - and which may align with the spirit of your proposal - is Scroll Open Campus, part of the broader Open Economy initiative. This program also focuses on supporting builders and high-quality projects, though through a different structure than traditional grants. More will be announcing in the coming weeks.
Additionally, we’re interested in hearing your thoughts on metrics and sourcing/review. As metrics have come up in previous discussions, we’d appreciate any insights, frameworks, or resources you can share to help refine how we measure impact across programs like these for the future.
When it comes to sourcing and review, do you have thoughts on how this program would get quality projects applying and who would perform the review of these applications?
Thanks again and looking forward to hearing back from you.
