The Encode grants program slipped my mind, but is it worth running two grant programs at the same time? I don’t believe so. Encode is currently piloting an external grants program with no admin costs in their current proposal.
They’ve already expressed an interest in potentially running another Grants program based on its success, with an operational fee this time.
I think it makes sense to let Encode finish its current grant program and then both providers (Encode & Questbook) can submit a proposal. Euler DAO can evaluate both instead of running two programs alongside each other before the community even evaluates what we aim to achieve from these grant programs.
Bounty Ideas are collected until March 26th and the Encode Grants Program ends on June 18th.
Questbook should at least wait till March 26th and see what bounties Encode has created to reduce redundancy and tackle other domains. Or wait till June 18th, for the community to evaluate the impact of the Encode Grants Program and see if the DAO would prefer to move forward with Questbook or Encode.
Some of the domains such as Multichain deployment & Content education, are valid even without encode so they could progress forward, but to make an informed decision, it would be better to wait until march 26th to move forward with other domains
