Heya @butter_fly - cool to see a new application!
In the meantime, the GrantsDAO committee changed and the mandate to CoW DAO was renewed recently in CIP-63 in a slightly different manner and with different Grant Terms.
In short:
- New Template: [Proposal for New Grant Application Template](https://forum.cow.fi/t/proposal-for-new-grant-application-template/2768)
→ NOTE: the new terms are not yet available on IPFS (they might be when you move this over to Snapshot, so make sure to link the new ones, please - else you can link the appropriate forum post: [https://forum.cow.fi/t/grants-dao-proposed-grant-agreement-for-grant-recipients](https://forum.cow.fi/t/grants-dao-proposed-grant-agreement-for-grant-recipients)
Please use the new template and applicable terms (to read and confirm).
- Good one go-to resource is this brand new process guide for any questions: [Grants DAO Process Guide (Feb 2025)](https://forum.cow.fi/t/grants-dao-process-guide-feb-2025/2830) (happy to take feedback in that thread).
In terms of Reviewer: I assume this is @harisang (to confirm)
I’ll be Steward
(You can find the description to the roles in the process guide).

also quickly to note please:
the new updated Committee Safe is not properly linked to Snapshot yet: please don’t move this over until a green light 🙂
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback @c3rnst !
So if I understand correctly, since I am doing a time-based grant (which used to be a core contributor grant?), it is ok if I don’t provide milestones but rather describe the scope of work as described [here](https://forum.cow.fi/t/grants-dao-proposed-grant-agreement-for-grant-recipients/2752).
If this is correct, I think it makes sense to put in the template the Type of Grant above the Milestones part and list the different types of grants since they are new (as far as I understand).

And also, I will post a new grant application in the new template then since I do not have the rights to modify this post

Hey hey -
yes, indeed, the distinction between “core” and non-core grant no longer exists because it was blurry all along.
- Yes, you’re doing a time-based grant, no need to provide milestones but scope of work! I will adjust the template, I guess that’s confusing - thanks for flagging.
A new application makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions.

OK, I adjusted the [template](https://forum.cow.fi/t/proposal-for-new-grant-application-template/2768) - let me know what you think and if this fits your grant application.
