True. Because we had to produce GIP-08 is very short amount of time and anticipating that the protocol TVL and community engagement will grow, we had 11 people. It was not perfect but was a great teamwork. But as we know, TVL of protocol has been stagnant for some months and the global macro outlook doesn’t look quite good for forseeable future as Fed is just going to implement another 0.75 raise in face of growing recession risk. I believe all community members should watch out burning the reserves from treasury without any siginicant purpose.
If to be paid by DAO, in current macroeconomic situation, I cannot support more than 20 hours for Community Managers in total and more than 20 hours for Community Moderators in total. Hours may be shared between managers and moderators. However, when proper grant program comes live, anyone should be able to submit proposal to the grant committee for other stuffs as requested in the grant program.
Another issue is that GIP-14 Credit Analysis Grant Pilot, has significantly less budget than the current proposal and community members have pointed that out.
