4 | 2 | BlockOps Academy | 5228 | 1% | Community | Community builders are an important vertical in the DV value chain because of the high friction to adoption arising from (1) requiring technical knowhows (2) high coordination costs. Low allocation because impact metrics doesn't illustrate direct impact to Obol. Good traction | https://raf.obol.org/raf1/projects/0xc81afbcfafa21b2a1a705ed0af2d1fca94a14174dee0f2a507c22ab934c39181 | Low | Unsure | No | ||||||||||
6 | 4 | Chainnodes' management of Operation Solo Staker | 52276 | 10% | Core Obol Infrastructure | This programme directly motivates new solo and DV stakers to learn the node ops skillset. Furthermore, it requires massive coordination and troubleshooting support which Chainnodes has done really well at. I consider this a core infrastructure of the Obol Collective | https://raf.obol.org/raf1/projects/0xd2db5732a5a5534ad9b39c4c15080298736d1d79a44900f0e4f98e3748633d46 | High | Yes | No | ||||||||||
7 | 5 | CollegeDAO | 5228 | 1% | Community | Universities are a great source of new talent but are notoriously tough to penetrate. It's commendable that CollegeDAO have chosen this tough problem to cract. However, direct impact seems low with no mention of new Obol DV Operators being onboarded--e.g., via Techne Credentials | https://raf.obol.org/raf1/projects/0x46ab6d27bcd3d068ede3f24f1f2253b1a0e57b64dd2136aefcbd2f54ed8c1e64 | Low | Unsure | No | ||||||||||
8 | 6 | Commit Boost | 5228 | 1% | Useful tools | Commit-Boost will directly improve the economics of solo/home/DV stakers, which will encourage more to learn the skill and it seems the team has spent some time communicating with the Obol team to make it work for DV Operators. However, the RAF guidelines do not consider promises of future deliverables, hence the low allocation this round. | https://raf.obol.org/raf1/projects/0x949e8ee20e14b455d7c0c213e67dc39c5c12d823dc31fb5392d0691b2bfacf98 | Low | Unsure | Yes | ||||||||||

Good traction but they seem to be a for-profit organisation so I am allocating less votes here in favour of less-funded communities. | https://raf.obol.org/raf1/projects/0x1e113352d62ec3d8a9bb243a42c5a4c5fa3c31e99ea77ddff5e79686dc79eecf | Medium | Yes | No | ||||||||||

26 | 24 | EthVeraCruz | 20912 | 4% | Community | Similar to my evaluation of CollegeDAO's proposal, Universities are a great source of new talent but are notoriously tough to penetrate.

30 | 28 | Guide to Setting Up a Distributed Lido CSM Validator Cluster with Obol Network | 15684 | 3% | Useful tools | This is currently the most comprehensive guide for Obol DV Operators who want to use Lido CSM to further reduce their initial capital requirements and improve their staking economics. Though direct impact cannot be measured reliably, we can infer that a good majority of the 12 Obol clusters on Lido CSM have used this guide during their setup. This is because combining Obol with Lido CSM is not a straightforward process and includes many moving parts--e.g., Splitter contract, multi-sig, Obol DKG, Lido CSM custom address specification | https://raf.obol.org/raf1/projects/0x1327ca5914827a01212f5c77ff295632dc27bfeda7c6b3a0a7e54294a051d569 | Medium | No | No | ||||||||||
