Hi @polarpunklabs, thanks for sharing an update on the forum and your work on the educational modules. I’m excited to see the updated version once it’s live. Happy to answer any questions as well - I sent you a dm on Twitter. In addition to what @Alice highlighted, one thing that may help in understanding the relationship between service providers and the Aave DAO is the below illustration from Flipside’s recent proposal.
In terms of your question on remaining funds, you are welcome to keep them if they will make a difference in pushing the grant and your other work in the space forward. If you want to return the remainder though, you can simply send it back to the multisig address you originally received the grant from.
