Hi Curia team - I had the chance to discuss your proposal today with the committee. And so far, they are leaning for the Dune approach put forward by the Bleu team. they requested some changes that are currently in discussion with that team, but I’ll update you here. In case you want official conclusion, you’re free to post this on Snapshot as well. Just mainly, I think the long-term maintenance of the interface (even if open-source) and also the higher budget were factors that favoured the other proposal. Let’s keep in touch, it’s not through voting, but I just wanted to update here 🙂 ---
