Grants/Funding

@sandeepdas9179 and @dancingpenguin.eth

Always appreciative! Thanks for that.

Here’s the post for the 240k

Bankless Research S5 Budget Proposal

First let’s address the elephant in the room. @Sprinklesforwinners and I are women, in a male dominated area.

We’ve both been subject to manipulation, condescending attitudes, discrimination (super weird when we’re all supposed to be anon) and negativity.

You can call it general mudslinging, but it (and what you see above) is deeper than that, and unacceptable.

I’m disappointed that it’s now marred a proposal that has potential, but it’s an important issue that has to be addressed.

However! What you and @dancingpenguin.eth are doing, is what should have been done in the first place! Address the questions!

So my main sticking points (aside from generalized misogyny that has nothing to do with this proposal)

  1. Whether bankless research actually agrees on the structure that has been provided in the proposal (I don’t see it, but it’s getting there)

  2. Is bankless research working as a department, a project, or…

  3. Do you have a set game plan with a higher than 33% win rate or a higher than 6 grant application, or is there a reason why you’ve settled on this.

  4. Do you perhaps have any potential clients that warrant a large ask?

  5. This proposal, and answers, sound close to bankless consulting with a sprinkle of research guild. Why doesn’t this just go into research, or why doesn’t this just serve as a grants department or client facing department, for research guild?

I could get closer to agreeing to this if there was an answer for 240k… I’m concerned that there are directors in bankless research who don’t know what the previous ask was about.

But it’s not out of the ordinary.
