EWG - Request for Funding

  1. Yeah, I’ll consult with core contributors around a salary and update the proposal if it makes sense.
  2. We’ll see what comes of the engineering pool. I am fairly skeptical that we can onboard 20 engineers in a way that is effective given our org size. I’m happy to be proven wrong, and in such a case EWG will request more funding. Note, as outlined in EWG Q3 Roadmap my priority is in getting a handful of committed core contributors to high context as quickly as possible.
  3. Full time hires may come from the IC (e.g. Noah or 0xModene). We’re still figuring out where to source candidates for other urgent & important roles (e.g. head of smart contracts). If we go after a senior backend dev looking to transition to DeFi we will likely use traditional channels. If we go after sourcing a dev from a smaller DeFi protocol we’ll probably use the expected DeFi channels.
  4. Yeah, definitely agree.
