Membership Sponsorship
D_D is working on an initiative to provide membership to hackathon winners. To that end, we’ve contacted builders and organizers of smaller hackathons. Your input and ideas on how to make this initiative a success are greatly appreciated; please leave your thoughts here.
Hackathons and Fellowships
Listen back to our conversation with the @VenomFoundation team and join their online hackathon — running until June 10 — for a chance to win $225,000 💰 in prizes.
Catch up on the @DataverseOS hackathon announcement — Rebuild Ownership with DataverseOS — here. There is a $10k prize pool up for grabs. To participate, apply here.
The first batch of interview invites for the Press Start Capital Fellowship program has been sent out to applicants, so make sure to check your spam folders. As promised, every single applicant will receive personalized application feedback, most likely in the course of this week. Big Kudos to @Patrick-Skinner and @dropknowledge.eth for coordinating the Press Start Capital Fellowship program and to all the BUILD00ors who applied.
Governance
A Temp Check poll was conducted to determine which ETH L2 the DAO's Treasury should migrate to due to the high cost of gas. Polygon was the crowd favorite with 83% of the votes, followed by Optimism with 10% and Arbitrum with 7%.
