Fundraising
- Qualified for Octant Epoch 3! Worked with @Bidemi Adenle on our application and promoted Gardens in Octant’s discord and forum, on the Gardens Twitter, and on a weekly Octant call. Gardens placed 6th in the snapshot vote that determined the 11 new entries for Epoch 3.
- Began drafting an application for Optimism Builder’s Grant (see our submitted application). Requesting 50k $OP to be added to a Gardens v2 CV pool to fund new Builders, apps, and infrastructure to the Optimism network.
- Followed up with Allo team on missing funds from our hackathon win - received rest of payment and set up transactions to pay out our team.
Growth & Presence:
- Working with Allo team on educational content for v2 - conversations with Sov and Tam from TEC on sourcing curriculum.
- Interviewed by Kevin Owocki for the GreenPill podcast with @Felipe Novaes F. Rocha - we talked about Conviction Voting and our work on Gardens v2. Episode to air with Beta release.
- Backdrop Build v3 - submitted updates on our progress and worked with @Mati0x on a video submission showing our app in action. Unfortunately we didn’t qualify as a finalist, likely because we didn’t have a functioning app yet.
PM:
- Sprint Payments, Contributor Activity, and Hours Spreadsheets
- Coordinating team calls and sprint updates. We’ve unintentionally moved away from a weekly call schedule and into a cadence where team calls are set up ad hoc when people are available and updates are needed. Trying this out for now.
Dev Support:
- Call with @Mati0x and Salvador reviewing UI designs for beta, ongoing comments and reviews of Salvador’s v2 Figma
- Fixes and fine-tuning our Parameters Spreadsheet, working with @Felipe Novaes F. Rocha to make sure it’s compatible with smart contract limitations, conversations with @Mati0x and @Luciano Scaminaci on frontend implemenation.
- Proposed parameter startupThresholdPoints to replace minimumActivatedPoints to simplify setup of a new CV pool.
