Hi @le_zhy
A note on Budget, Commitment to Efficiency & Long-Term Value
While the grant amount is an estimate, we’re committed to delivering this project as efficiently as possible, leveraging AI carefully to optimize delivery as mentioned before. We propose a checkpoint at 70% budget utilization [11,200 xDAI and 9,800 COW] to assess progress and explore the possibility of early completion, which could potentially lower the final cost. In such a case, the remaining budget will be lower than the estimate (used as a ceiling).
To maintain transparency, we’ll share bi-weekly updates covering progress, budget use, and any risks.
We don’t work to the ceiling. We work to deliver more for less. We see this project as a stepping stone toward becoming long-term contributors to CoW. We’ve been using CoW for a long time, both as individuals and as a company, and we’re excited to help push it forward.
Lmk if you have any questions.
