[EGG] Multi-EGG Continuity Grant Funding

Proposals
9

We are entirely for the continuation of Pool Maintenance Labs (PML) and Argo Technology Consulting (ATC) operations to ensure business continuity risks remain low.1 Thank you @steakhouse for putting together this information.

Questions

  1. Is the decrease in DAI across 2024 H1 ($22.5m), 2024 H2 ($24.6m), and 2025 H1($21.6m) reflective of more efficient capital allocation?
    a. If so, what has Steakhouse observed that has contributed to higher operating leverage?
    b. If not, what is the reason for the contraction in DAI allocations through Ecosystem Grant Grequest (EGG)?

  2. Both EGG proposals from 2024 included a request for additional LDO to distribute to PMC. Is there a reason for the absence of additional LDO in the 2025 request, e.g. the conservative spending of LEGO rolling over to 2025?
