X is so cooked. It’s ads, Elon, or some MAGA bs. Discovery is dead. Guess, will be spending more time on Farcaster from now on.

Thanks @0xsatori, a few responses @wiz 1) Escrow only works with arbitration, do you think @kleros is good enough for this? 2) How would you measure progress? Updates are widely accepted 3) Shouldn't be a problem when the work is equivalent. @frog OP doesn't escrow, funds are just withheld and I question this too. Milestones & escrow should address the trust and lock issue. Why do milestones whithout timely release?

Every single sizable Web3 grant out there already uses milestones just not very decentralised. Meanwhile, Nouns escrow would be decentralised with @kleros. For anyone interested in the research behind it, read the full Metagov report here: https://bit.ly/Web3-Grants-Report

Long story short, escrow proposals help mitigate the problem gami.eth called out last week and Nouns is late to the game. https://warpcast.com/gami.eth/0x5879385b

From some voices we've heard, there is some general scepticism towards streams. Why haven’t more proposers used streams?

Over the past months we helped Nouns.Builder set up escrow proposals. 🚀 Do you think escrow proposals make sense for Nouns too? With escrow proposals proposers give regular updates & request payouts while funds are SAFU. Every Web3 grant program offers milestone-based funding, read the Metagov Web3 Grants Report.

Before @scottrepreneur.eth and I start implementing, we want to ensure that Nouns is onboard. You can help us by voting on the poll below and share thoughts, feedback, or concerns. Will you encourage the community to vote against proposals that don't use streams (or escrow)?

yesterday, i went to a curated VC dinner with impressive web2 founders across industries from CPG to B2B SaaS. when they asked for my LinkedIn, i told them i don't have one. when they asked how i network or do biz dev in web3, i said telegram. "wait isn't that for drug dealers or child traffickers?" kid you not 🙈

The ongoing @gitcoin round is closing soon. Consider leaving a last minute donation at Smart Invoice to secure your Web3 payments too. https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/round/1/0x12bb5bbbfe596dbc489d209299b8302c3300fa40/0x12bb5bbbfe596dbc489d209299b8302c3300fa40-140
