The program was explicitly presented as being based on specific, clearly scoped and measurable deliverables, formalized through written agreements, or am I wrong ? However, the ICF never stated that those agreements or their detailed terms would be made public. The issue is therefore not that the ICF broke a formal promise of full transparency. The issue is that the community currently has no way to verify whether the standards publicly announced for this program are actually being applied. We cannot see the non-confidential scope of work, the milestones, the success criteria, what has already been delivered, or what remains to be delivered. Regarding Cybernetics, the only concrete achievement publicly highlighted so far appears to be an X Space that attracted more than 1,000 live listeners. But since the event focused on Injective and USDC, it is reasonable to question how much of that audience was actually brought in by Cybernetics, rather than simply coming from Injective’s own established community. From my perspective, Cybernetics has not yet demonstrated any clear additional value for the Cosmos Hub ecosystem or its community that would justify such a substantial delegation. This concern is even stronger given that members of the group have openly criticized the Cosmos community on Telegram. If the delegation is genuinely tied to specific and measurable deliverables, the ICF should at least disclose a non-confidential summary of the scope, milestones and evaluation criteria. Otherwise, the community is simply being asked to trust that the selection process and the announced standards were properly followed, without any meaningful way to verify it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/icf-ecosystem-growth-delegations-applications-now-open/16949)._
