[Secondary Proposal 58] Vacuumlabs Team Proposal, February–April 2023

Again, I’m posting the proposal on behalf of Vacuumlabs.

Vacuumlabs Team Proposal #2, February–April 2023

Period: 1 February 2022–30 April 2023 (3 months)

Proposal: Vacuumlabs dedicated team API3 development contribution

Amount: 0 USDC

Token allocation to contributors: We request up to 200,000 API3 tokens from the hot wallet to incentivize the API3-dedicated team from Vacuumlabs at Ethereum address 0x20AB51856126cF0F8A3e4013877BED63E39c1BFC.

Proposal parameters

Creator: bbenligiray.eth

Target Contract Address: 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 (USDC)

Target Function Signature: transfer(address,uint256)

Parameters: [ “0x0C4030768601A5b564FCD50Ec5957D516b0F2aD4”, “0” ]

The function call above does nothing in practice (transfers 0 USDC to the hot wallet multisig). This proposal is solely to allow the DAO to signal intent about the verbal components of this proposal.

Summary

The Vacuumlabs team has proven to be a consistently valuable asset to API3, which results in the second proposal (the previous proposal can be found here). The team would like to extend cooperation with the Core Technical Team and other contributors, such as the dAPIs team and ChainAPI to develop the API3 ecosystem. Therefore, we are requesting a grant of 200,000 API3 tokens to further continue this cooperation.

There are some adjustments to the team. Martin Kolenič will no longer be part of the team nor will he be a contributor to API3 as a whole. We are also in the process of selecting an additional member of the team, which is the reason for the “Buffer”.

Additionally, Vacuumlabs confirms that out of 180,000 API3 granted by the previous proposal, 23,000 API3 carried over to the calculation of grant amount requested in this proposal due to the short-term unavailability of some of the team members.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the Airnode codebase according to the roadmap defined by the Core Technical Team and agreed upon by the API3 DAO.
  • Contribute to the dAPI operation-related codebases according to the roadmap defined by the dAPIs team and agreed upon by the API3 DAO in this proposal.
  • Contribute to the ChainAPI codebase according to the roadmap defined by the ChainAPI, Inc. team and as agreed by the API3 DAO in this proposal.
  • Contribute to the Omnimarket codebase according to the roadmap defined by the Core Technical Team and agreed upon by the API3 DAO.
  • Contribute to the API3 DAO Dashboard codebase according to the roadmap defined by the Core Technical Team and agreed upon by the API3 DAO.
  • Contribute to the OEV codebase according to the roadmap defined by the Core Technical Team and agreed upon by the API3 DAO.
  • Support the development of any additional products reasonably requested by the Core Technical Team.
