Discussion by topic

Grant [2606] Andromeda Core, milestone 1 (topic 876)

  • Ilichb announced the 4-week observation window is now live. The pilot link has been published on all three official Rootstock Collective channels: X, Telegram and Discord.
  • The X post tells idle RIF holders they might be leaving rewards on the table and points them to the 4-week pilot with @Andromedacomp.
  • The window runs from 14 October 08:45 UTC to 11 November 08:45 UTC. Views entering through these channels will be attributed as official-channel distribution in the final report, separate from organic traffic.
  • The full dataset will be reported at the end of the window: per-wallet conversion, group-level A/B comparison and source-channel breakdown. Ilichb thanked Georgia, Eleanor and the Rootstock team, plus the delegates who pushed the thread forward.

Grant [2609] Kleros Foresight, milestone 1 (topic 977)

  • Delegate Tane supports milestone 1 as a low-cost design phase and says the answers so far cover the market-quality questions well.
  • Tane's main question is what the full $15,000 buys Rootstock at this scale. Strategic-tier grants carry a minimum FES target of 2.0x within 12 months, roughly $30,000 of ecosystem value here.
  • With nine Recognized Delegates and only a handful of grant applications each quarter, the pilot will run a small number of markets. Tane questions whether a participation target of at least 15 delegate addresses issued credits and 10 distinct addresses trading over six months gets near that figure.
  • Tane asks how the proposed framework relates to that benchmark, what the grant buys above the $10,000 Scaling-tier ceiling, and asks that the milestone 1 spec state how much of the liquidity stays on Rootstock after the pilot.

Sentiment

  • Topic 876 (Andromeda Core): positive and progressing. The milestone 1 observation window is now live across all official channels with a clear reporting plan, and no opposition or open concerns were raised.
  • Topic 977 (Kleros Foresight): mixed but constructive. Tane endorses milestone 1 as a low-cost design phase yet probes the value-for-money case against the 2.0x FES benchmark and asks for liquidity-retention commitments, so the grantee will need to justify the budget before milestone 1 approval.

What to watch

  • The Andromeda 4-week RIF staking observation window is running from 14 October to 11 November across official Rootstock Collective channels, with engagement data to be reported at the end.
  • Kleros Foresight is expected to address delegate questions on the $15,000 budget versus the 2.0x FES benchmark and on how much liquidity stays on Rootstock after the pilot, before milestone 1 approval.
