Hello,
With the ACI, we already gave some feedback during the TEMP CHECK stage.
Flipside published exactly 3 AIPs in 2023. Source
That’s around 5% of the ACI published AIPs amount, and yet the budget required is 50% of the ACI budget.
When we launched the ACI, before considering a potential budget request, it was primordial for us to build a rock-solid track record of Aave contributions, our previous position as part of the Aave Genesis team was not deemed enough for us to ask for a budget, so we had to prove to the DAO our value add.
only after a full quarter of very active & unpaid contributions we published our proposal.
Our current sentiment is that Flipside’s track record is acceptable as a delegate platform but, factually, not there yet as a potential service provider.
At the ACI, we strongly support more diversity, but we remind the community that working for the Aave DAO is an honor and a privilege. The DAO can afford to set the requirement bar high.
The Aave community deserves the best.
