Chiming in from ConsenSys 
We’re working on a proposal internally to match the funding request here.
From our side, we’re not in a place where we can fund the ecosystem entirely without any evidence of output. The entire basis of this proposal was to contribute human capital to bDAO in exchange for the contributor experience. We would then measure the results and be able to make a case for more collaboration either work or financial. To give clarity around our goals here, we wanted to show that we’re in good faith trying to meet ya’ll in the middle.
Due to the nature of this proposal, and it being our first attempt at an official DAOlationship— we’re receiving final confirmation this week to match the 100,000 BANK via public goods grant. If approved, the funds will be used specifically for this proposal and the onboarding of ConsenSys bDAO contributors. It makes general sense to us, and hope it is taken as a positive step in the direction of sharing the weight of this partnership equally.
We’re a large organization, so wanted to set time expectations here on approvals—but also wanted to be transparent with the bDAO community and voice that we’re pushing into new territory internally.
It will also be a landmark moment, a template for us to establish this onboarding experience. Huge shoutout to senad.eth, 0xLucas, thinkDecade for putting in the work here!
