Escrow Session Vault for Micro-Billing P2P Video Streaming | iOS Android (Proposal #3622469239)

Governance Discussions - Jul 8
Thank you for your proposal.
Since this is additional ask for a project that was already funded in the past, given there are new features, I would like to see some sort of other metrics than provide dones. While GitHub activity has objectively increased, the demo app users seem to be in roughly sam…

Valar xGov integration for Réti Pooling

Governance Discussions - May 18
I’m already using the Valar delegation platform but I wasn’t aware of this reti dashboard - I love it! Just to clarify: Let’s say (hypothetically) simonb.algo is staking on node.cosmicchamp.algo reti validator, the validator is enrolled as xGov. simonb.algo is not. Valar's reti platform allows th…

[Resubmission] Open-Sourcing the GRAMO Loyalty Platform (xGov Proposal 3548330853)

Governance Discussions - May 8
To start this discussion I wish to first state, that Gramo team was unlucky and was unfortunately assigned to wrong xGov committee with their initial proposal - which in turn made it impossible for them to pass quorums (as they state at the start of their forum thread) - so they should not be penalized…

Open-Sourcing AVM Email: Joining Encrypted Communications with Defi: 3524536010

Governance Discussions - Apr 13
So this proposal has come a long way and it definitely shows willingness to adjust/accommodate feedback. The traction and user growth is something entire Algorand is struggling with so lower number of users doesn’t necessarily mean there is no demand for such product. Personally I’m supporting t…

Open-Sourcing Multi-Pool Soft Staking Infrastructure with Merkle Proof Reward Distribution

Governance Discussions - Apr 13
I’m personally supportive of this proposal for few reasons:

Complies with the TnC and the ask is reasonable.
It’s a working product being actively used.
Long-term builders in the eco need all the support they can get.

Easy yes.

Open-Sourcing the GRAMO Loyalty Platform (xGov Proposal 3500632412)

Governance Discussions - Apr 13
An OG team building through cycles and pivoting and adapting to the industry as it changes is exactly the kind of builders we need in the eco. Since this is OSS after approval request I cannot comment on the code quality, but the tech stack is apparently good enough to serve real, paying customers ov…

What the "King Safety" paper should include

General - Apr 7

Min tx fee increase (it’s a must, yes it will break a lot of things)
Clarity on no uncapping, commit
Top-up of node runner rewards, put your money where your mouth is, if network succeeds AF succeeds… hogging community/network/adoption allocated funds for “AF operational costs” is not something ima…

The Rewards Suite by ASA Stats: All-in-one infrastructure for transparent contributor rewards

Governance Discussions - Apr 7
Hello, it might be worth considering deleting and resubmitting your proposal again. While it’s fairly low ask, and there is a chance it could pass - it’s a very low one.

On the other hand, if you delete you need to delete, doesn’t work if you just wait with your proposal and push into voting at later…

Astro Explorer retroactive funding open source handoff

Governance Discussions - Mar 25
I’ll be short - any active gaming project in Algorand eco brings tons of value, because games are where the user retention is (because then $$ incentives dry up, games are still fun), and all these gamers are potential users of other ecosystem products. The proposal itself has my personal support m…

Open-Sourcing Cosmic Champs (xGov proposal 3461960394)

Governance Discussions - Mar 2
Thanks for the feedback!
It will be open-sourced under MIT license.
We’re unable to edit the original post, but this is correct: I’m co-founder of cosmic champs and I’m also on xGov council, this was exactly why we didn’t post it from my personal forum profile but from Cosmic Champs profile instead…

Confío: Web2-to-Algorand Consumer Onboarding Infrastructure (LATAM)

Governance Discussions - Feb 27
Thanks for the swift response! Your explanation makes sense and as I said I personally see the traction there. Any sort of innovation on Algorand is welcome in my mind and xGov is here to support it.

C# support for Algorand - reduced payout

Governance Discussions - Feb 18
Thank you for listening to the feedback and adjusting the price. I’m personally in favour of this proposal.

Valar improvements to xGov Beta SC: 2025-10 to 2026-01 (xGov Proposal 3450856927)

Governance Discussions - Feb 18
Another easy yes. Also if you are xGov but don’t wish to constantly look if there are new proposals to vote on - I highly recommend Valar's delegation platform as a failsafe in case you forget to vote.

Algoosh - non-custodial, escrow-based commerce protocol

Governance Discussions - Feb 17
Thank you for sharing your project!
I’m also curious about the metrics or traction/adoption of the project. This being retroactive framework I always personally gauge proposals on value delivered to the ecosystem.

Algorand x402 integration project

Governance Discussions - Feb 17
Easy yes for me! The x402 is one of the main talking points for Algorand in the wider crypto space recently.

Lute Wallet - 3453478727

Governance Discussions - Feb 17
Easy yes for me personally!

xGov process : Proposed flow for OSS after approval

Governance Discussions - Feb 7
XGov is trying to do things differently than AF…that’s the whole point. We can agree that AF was and is playing favourites in the ecosystem, and the landscape of Algorand ecosystem as is is in big part due to that. If AF doesn’t promote your products that’s between you and the foundation (it took me …
