retroactive grants are cool but they require builders take on all the risk (build it and you *might* get *some* funding)

an alternative ✨proactive✨ approach:

build, lift, & coffee | ENS Steward | namestone.xyz | slobo.xyz

because most people aren’t aware of better alternatives yet

proactive seems great when you know exactly what you want and understand the market

also great even when you don’t: a successfully funded campaign is a strong signal the market wants what you have to offer (and vice versa)

retroactive is incapable of providing this extremely valuable information a priori
