Here’s our perspective as a grantee:

We were approved for a sizable grant in early February and received funds in late March. We then kicked off the grant-funded MetricsDAO Olympus bounty program on March, 30th.

Our community is very excited about working with data from the econOHMy, and is already submitting questions to be solved, which we incentivize by paying $10 worth of OHM for any question submitted and $50 worth for any question that is turned into an actual challenge.

You can see the questions coming in in our question collection tool.

MetricsDAO uses granted funds to incentivize analytics content generation. Our partners get analytics and community growth in one fell swoop.

We appreciate the cohort aspect of the Grants Program. It is nice to have a space to learn with others in cohort and to coordinate together.

We have found a synergy with @Tachikoma000 and others at Playgrounds team and are hosting workshops by their team on our Discord. The first event already had over 80 attendees who learned about Subgrounds and can be viewed here.

Applying for a grant was a very inviting process, the Olympus Grants team members that we have worked with are very helpful. @wollemiPine in particular has been and continues to be helpful keeping us up to date and providing clarity such as sourcing and relaying how to stake our granted funds.

What we are currently struggling with is that the conversation didn’t really nail a total grant amount. This was really our oversight, and we were probably too cautious in our communications.

We would welcome a more formalized acceptance process, where the payout schedule and the amounts due are set out, because that would allow us to plan better.

We want to thank the Olympus grant program for the opportunity to work with this exciting protocol and will definitely seek to grow our partnership. The MetricsDAO community knows their way around Olympus data by now and is hungry for challenges.
