• Gitcoin Discussion; Rethinking FDD

  • This discussion poses questions about how to stop fraud and allocate capital in the most efficient way possible.

  • A part of the thesis is to promote the “good” in the DAO:

    • “Good” includes usefulness, fairness, inclusiveness, and sustainability.

    • Surveys could be made to measure what the DAO sees as good and build off of said surveys

  • Another part is to minimize the “bad”:

    • The first part of bad would be the inefficiencies within the grant reviewing process.

      • This can be handled internally by an FDD team that has an optimal incentivization structure (to be made in the future).

    • The second part is capital capture by Sybils and airdrop farmers.

      • This needs to be further explored.

  • More questions need to be answered on this subject like what are the sensible KPIs FDD can define to track its own progress?

Infrastructure & Tooling

• Rocket Pool Tempcheck; Proposal to turn off 32 (Full) Node Operator Deposits

  • This proposal was set forward because a NO queue exists as a full mini-pool wheel half mini pools exist (which are always placed ahead of full mini-pools).

  • This means that the full mini-pools would advance at an unpredictable rate and even could be stalled for an indefinite amount of time.

  • This however has cons like lost opportunity costs for potential node operators in the future in the half mini-pools.

• Pokt Tempcheck; POKT Wallet - Chrome and Firefox Extension

  • This proposal is asking for $207,151 worth of $POKT for updating these features in the web browser extension:

    • BIP32 Mnemonic Wallet with ED25519 support (one phrase, many addresses)

    • Add up to 10 sub-addresses to better monitor multiple sources of income/expenses

    • Add/edit a nickname for each address added to the wallet

    • Recover wallet with Recovery Phrase

    • Full-screen mode

    • Track and view all transactions

    • One-click access to POKTwatch

    • One-click locking of the wallet

    • One-click copy of your wallet address

    • View $USD value of your $POKT

    • Import and export of private keys

    • Access to native Pocket Network Wallet

  • A picture of what it would look like as an extension can be found on the tempcheck.
