@uhudo Answers to your questions/thoughts… It would be interesting to hear how these deliverables contribute towards the user-friendly, chain-agnostic video streaming app for the retail market, which was mentioned as an idea/goal of the previous proposal. Any ideas when that will be available? I…

@uhudo Answers to your questions/thoughts… Within the Council we have been discussing that the proposal should be open-sourced for some time (e.g. min. 2 months) before being eligible for a grant, in order to ensure the code has been battle-tested. While this has been merely a suggestion at the …

Thank you for trying to clarify the situation before going to the vote and for confirming Folks xALGO would abstain in case of a vote. In light of no new information, I do not think the Council’s majority opinion on T&C compliance or individuals’ support for the proposal has changed. My personal m…

Please correct me if my understanding of Sprout is wrong, but it sounds like a launchpad. IMO, these have not yet found PMF in combination with blockchain. The problem is what are the crowdfunders really buying and how they can trust that milestones have really been hit? Typically, blockchain launc…

Stocks/bonds (RWA) on Algorand?
Jun 22
uhudo
Great to see new builders joining Algorand! Regarding assets, there are indeed not many. Some you could look into are: GOLD (246516580) and SILVER (246519683) by Meld, and fractions of real estate from Lofty. You could also bridge any token from/to another chain to Algorand via e.g. Wormhole’s NTT …

Please note first again that I expressed only my opinion. There is no standard. Every proposal can make whatever ask and is evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the xGovs. That said, even the 25k ALGO ask IMO is too much for the relatively small updates and the produced traction. Please also note …

In this case, I don’t think that would be a problem. Just submit individual ones to the Electric Capital and that should be it. You can still open a thread before creating the proposal. xGov process was initially meant as such - first create a proposal thread, people discuss it, then create the on…

Thanks for considering submitting another proposal. Based on the description, I do not directly see a problem / do not fully understand the situation. Is the ownership of all the submodules with you and/or you have the rights to use them? If that is the case, I do not see a reason why a joint prop…

While I understand that logic, the xGov budget is denominated in ALGO, which is why IMO it is necessary to consider the ALGO amount as well when evaluating proposals.

@Astoc1993 thank you for the proposal related to the xGov program. While I appreciate the effort to try to bring more eyes to the xGov program this way, IMO the ask size is high w.r.t. traction and required effort to update the previously funded proposal, in particular considering the ask size for …

I do agree that xGov program could benefit from more clarity on its objectives. But IMO, these are simply to support innovation that increases usage of Algorand. Defining it in more detail would be difficult in my opinion, as usage metrics can be manipulated and their relevant type varies greatly d…

@Hellen, thank you for your reply. One point I’d like to add is that, when it comes to evaluating proposals, the Council is fundamentally in the same position as any other xGov. There are also concerns about Council members having disproportionate influence on governance discussions. Because of tha…
Questions on xGov Priority Areas and Impact Evaluation

Thank you for starting this discussion here. Regarding priority areas, I think we should not constrain them because blockchain as a whole is still searching for product market fit. By the time the community would agree on an area, that might already be out dated and/or the projects starting only af…

Thank you for your proposal. Speaking from a personal perspective, I do agree with your points. At the same time, I also understand that, given the current state of xGov, it is quite difficult to move in that direction. What you described is quite close to a managerial or strategic mindset—essentially…

Here is the current structure of the Algorand network: instead of collecting revenue from network and database users, the Algorand Foundation sells its own ALGO holdings and draws funds from the pool of capital that ALGO buyers have put into the market, then distributes those funds to public goods. …

Thank you for the additional context, @uhudo and @gid. I’d like to share my personal perspective on this matter. The core logic of this proposal seems to be that the development was funded through a mix of an Algorand Foundation grant and your own capital, and you are now asking the community to co…

Thank you for the clarificaiton. Based on it, I understand that the work considered in the proposal was already paid by the Algorand Foundation (either as a grant or paid work, not as an investment). IMO, it would be inappropriate if the xGov program funded the same work again. Moreover, IMO the alr…
