Despite the relatively small amount requested, we have to admit that we saw some elements in the replies that have raised our attention. But the critical point that lead us to decline this proposal is the fact that many of the quests proposed are from projects outside the AEZ. Over the latest quarters, we have made it clear that the Cosmos Hub should now focus its incentive distribution toward that economic zone in priority.
To be clear, we are actually in favor to support the Zealy quests by allocating some ATOM tokens, but we think this project’s support should come from the Interchain Foundation, which role is to spearhead community awareness around the whole ecosystem.
To conclude, we are supporting the idea, but not the proposal, simply due to the fact that we don’t think the Hub’s community pool is not the right place to target for this fundraising, the ICF is instead.
Regarding the amounts requested, and the engagement the quests gathered, I can hardly imagine that the Foundation would refuse a participation. We would also recommend reaching out to individual Cosmos projects to add incentives as well to create a general bucket.
Hope you’ll consider this feedback,
