I think it makes sense to hit the ground running and to do so it makes sense to increase the budget to expand marketing and operations.
I think we are lacking transparency in how the budget is managed though. I'd like to see a break down of expected deliverables, or at least roles for payed contributors, e.g. (At a high level)
- 20k for solidity dev with the expectation/ deliverable of x, y, z. (Operations)
- 5k youtube sponsorship (marketing)
- 10k Competition (Marketing)
Also unclear on core project team and their roles at the moment.
