Regulatory topics

• Community calls on regulatory topics in the blockchain and crypto space started yesterday and will take place every first Wednesday of the month at 6PM CET.
  • The first one was yesterday about MiCA
    • Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMCr-7Ichcg
• The next Twitter space from Flipping burgers will handle US regulation

Shimmer Community Grant Committee proposal

• In good shape

Grant committee selection process

• Needs more clarity on some points
• A poll in the application post will get more activity than a regular post for people to like
  • Instead of requiring an application post with a certain amount of likes to pass to ph2, a yes/no poll will be added to the post
    • It may happen that something has 20 likes but 200 votes
• Social media handles like Twitter, Discord included in the application letter and post for the vote
  • To confirm the social media account, an activity from it such as posting the link to the application will be required
    • Can work as spam protection as well
• The minimum age needs to match Swiss legislation since the KYC process etc. will be there
  • Option to proceed with 21 “to be on the safe side” since it’s possible to be prosecuted as a minor possible until 21 in some countries
• Phase 2
  • Candidates with a minimum of 50 yes votes instead of 20 on an application post will be included in a multiple-choice poll for the grant reviewers, and one for the project lead
    • Top 20 or everyone with 50 votes
    • Poll duration: 7-14 days
  • Reviewer poll
• Changed to allow up to 4 votes (rather than requiring 4 votes)
  • Avoids randomly voting for people without actually supporting them
• Trust level 1 required for ph2 voting
• Anonymous voting
• The poll should reach 100 votes

Next steps

• The applications should be up in the forum so people can start applying by next week
  • 3 weeks application time
  • The poll would be a week - otherwise it will get too late in the year with the upcoming Christmas holidays
