I suspected it (because of the importance of Quantum Resistance), but I was officially unaware, as most of the people in the community. @crookednervosness made us aware a little bit after I wrote these posts, so I am so relieved and really happy!!
About funding from the Foundation, for now iCKB enjoys about the same benefits. Given its strategic importance as a project showcase, it will likely be that way for quite some time. Also I have good friends there and we try to help each other, so we enjoy a good relationship.
That said, for all projects in our blessed situation we need to remember that:
- Foundation is composed of people who want the success of our projects, so they are supportive in case of side quests and missed deadlines. Also they can pay out in stable-coins. That said, they also have the right to change their mind over time for any reason.
- CommunityDAO grants are basically money in your bank account. That said, if you are unable to meet your goals, it can get complicated. Also they pay out in CKB valued at the time of grant, which can get tricky.
At present, Foundation stands out as the most reliable option for us. Looking ahead, I believe that in a few years, transitioning our funding source to CommunityDAO v2 could be a beneficial move. I wanted to share this thought for consideration as we plan for the future.
Let’s make Nervos L1 shine with our projects, Phroi
