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

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

because most people aren’t aware of better alternatives yet

proactive requires work on "filling credibility gap" for builder and evaluation-via-weak-signals for supporter.

most people want the easier/safer option.

hence:
retroactive is donation/purchase
proactive is investment
