@platohedro love the idea of "impact staking". just to clarify the funding is $250/mo for 5 months, 100 of which is earmarked for an artist. Who is the earliest staking partner you have a verbal or written commitment from, and for roughly how much? Why focus on these 2 chains and not something like Base where more capital is locked up? What happens if staking yields drop significantly - do you have a minimum threshold where the model breaks? how much capital do you need locked up front to fund the minimum viable batch of impact makers?

Thank you for the thoughtful questions, Rocketman — and for the clarification on the $250/month. I also want to be transparent: I made a few mistakes in the initial application, but I've updated it with corrections and hope it reads better now. Regarding the $100 earmarked for the artist — we actually weren’t fully aware of that detail, so we’d love to learn more. From our side, we were thinking of using the $250/month primarily to support onboarding and early coordination, which the project still requires. We're definitely open to supporting more chains, and Base is absolutely possible to integrate. In fact, we’d be thrilled to collaborate with the Base ecosystem to make that happen. The reason we initially built on Astar and Soneium is simply because we developed the MVP during the ETH Cinco de Mayo hackathon, which has a track focused on those chains.

yea should've made that more clear in the application about the $100 for artists. sorry about that. given the funding amount do you think you can make meaningful progress on the software product? i just think you probably need more capital to make a dent in the software is all

Thanks for your message! We totally understand your concern — you're right that meaningful software development usually requires more capital. In our last team meeting, we decided to move forward with getting the app ready to receive support through Astar’s dApp Staking. We believe that once that’s in place, we can later expand to integrate with other chains like Base. It’s clear that more resources will be needed to accelerate development, but support from Vrbs would help us a lot at this early stage — especially to generate traction and visibility. We truly see this as a long-term effort and are grateful for any opportunity to begin building.
