Hi there,
Thanks for applying. I have a few questions with regard to this proposal.

  1. The Report that you’re mentioning, How’re you planning to publish this report?
    Will it be the Annual report?
  2. Can You please provide a detailed breakdown of the funding that you’re asking for?

Please provide any document( if you have any) regarding this proposal to understand this in depth. Also, the link that you provided in the above GitHub repository is throwing a 404 error.

Looking forward to your Answer!
Thanks

Thanks. Sorry for my late reply. I had a little trouble logging in.

I have tried the GitHub links, and they both work. They are both public, so you should not be having trouble with them.

Here goes:

  1. I would publish the report using my public GitHub Repo and file-sharing/storage sites such as DropBox. I would also host on on permaweb services such as Arweave. I am using the Graph Economic Report RFP as a guideline, so it would not be the Annual report.
  2. a. Technical Costs (for tokens, Hosting, deployment, etc) = 1500 USD
    b. Research Costs (covers labor, interviews, internet costs, etc) (2 devs and a data analyst) 750 * 3 = 2250 USD
    c. Editing = 500 USD
    d. Graphic Designer (for illustrations and cover) = 750 USD

@admin @admins Hi. Can you help me edit this proposal? I realized I mistakenly swapped the expected values for

with.

It should read

Thank you.

Unfortunately, this grant proposal did not generate the level of support in the community to move it to the next phase of the grant application process.

Thank you for submitting this proposal and you are encouraged to stay engaged in the Graph community. You are also welcome to submit new grant applications in the future with proposals that may generate stronger community support.
