@Hodlatoor I have read the grant proposal and I have a few comments. I'll think a little and put them to the Notion.

@sergfeldman Hi Serg, all good here? no more updates as you see?

[sergfeldman]

@Hodlatoor Hey, excuse me again for the delays!

I took the time to read the grants that were submitted to the Optimism program and the Optimism ecosystem to understand their logic.

Raw observations at the moment:

• Activity on the Optimism network is highly dependent on their reward program
• Their community is more likely to actively support "fun" projects than "serious" projects
• I would not evaluate that they have a very active community of developers, although the development of Optimism itself is quite active

I need some more time to form my thoughts on our grant.

[sergfeldman]

@pavlovcik @Hodlatoor As a result of my brief research ^, I would propose to more clearly describe the benefits of DevPool as a way to improve developers' collaboration and community building for Optimism.

It would be good to describe the specific steps in the grant application as well. It can be

• Offer Optimism itself to place a certain amount of bounties on preferential terms.
• Pay additional bonuses in the granted OP tokens for those developers who completed the bounty of Optimism itself.
• Provide bounties in the granted OP tokens for the cross-review of bounties and PRs between developers from different projects on Optimism.
• And other activities that use bounties for collaboration and community building.

What is your opinion?

[Hodlatoor]

@sergfeldman I think those are good ideas. we should simplify them so they are more readily transparent and append to the grant.

@Hodlatoor I have added this thought in various ways to the several relevant points in the grant application :)
