Hey, mura from ValiDAO here.
We applied for a feegrant in early February, and our PR was merged early March.
Yet, we have not received a feegrant. In the mean time, I understand that the pool of ATOM allocated for this initiative has been depleted, and has even been replenished. Still, we’re without a feegrant ~7 months in after PR merge, 8 months after application time.
After a few attempts I managed to get a hold of the maintainers, who let me know that the reasons for the delay was technial problems related to batched authz message signing. I never heard any mention of the above ^ that our applications were missed during a meeting.
I hven’t looked into it, so I’m not sure if other later applicants have received a grant since then, or if this is a miss that’s isolated to ourselves.
Would like to for clarification: were we simply missed, or was there problems with authz message signing, or are both true?
I echo the sentiment of @susevans’s reply ~nov last year:
Putting certain relayers in a privileged position to have their relaying fees funded whereas other relayers would not be subsidised does not seem like the ideal solution and seems somewhat unfair.
Only hoping that the miss & delay was not intentional
