#### 👻 June Grantees | 📣 Request for Grants | 🏗 AMA with Xenophon Labs & More Grantee Updates

**👻 June Grantees**
--------------------

[Congratulations to the three grantees](https://governance.aave.com/t/agd-renewal-4-recent-work-updates/11585/9?u=0xbilll) from June! Check out how each team is contributing to the Aave ecosystem.

**1️⃣** [**Boardroom**](https://twitter.com/boardroom_info) has contributed a weekly Governance Recap to the Aave DAO since last September. This new grant will see the recaps continue for another 6 months.

**2️⃣** [**Libreexyz**](https://twitter.com/Libreexyz) has created a Credit Delegation plugin that any existing and new Aragon DAO can use. This plugin allows DAOs to deposit their treasury in AAVE and grant a credit delegation to other DAOs, projects, or users. Libree's new plugin will enable DAOs to make their treasury more capital efficient and to execute automatically approved credit delegation proposals.

**3️⃣** [**Dapplooker**](https://twitter.com/dapplooker) will create comprehensive and customizable dashboards with deep analytics & multiple parameters for GHO. A portion of funds will be used to engage the community on [MetricsDAO](https://twitter.com/MetricsDAO) to create new analytics.

Aave Grants DAO announced ‘Request for Grants’ (RFGs) - an experiment to better direct builders to apply for grants in high impact areas. There are three initial areas to start:

*   [**GHO Demand and Utility**](https://governance.aave.com/t/introducing-request-for-grants-by-aave-grants-dao-gho-governance-op/14125?u=0xbilll#gho-demand-and-utility-4)

Please share any feedback on RFGs, [apply for a grant](https://aavegrants.org/apply-for-a-grant) or [suggest an idea for new RFGs](https://aavegrants.org/request-for-grants-rfgs) that could be offered.
