Hi, yes thank you, that’s very helpful. I like to hear more about this proposal and possibly setup a time to speak about it in the future in order to further break down the milestones you’ve listed. Personally, I’d like to see some existing advocates that are on board with supporting this effort as well. Are you currently engaged with advocates on our discord?

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.
