Limit this Funding tier to $50 and limit it to 500 passed proposals per month strictly up/down vote. I f@cking promise you this will create a low level feeding frenzy that this metaverse sorely needs.  
P.S. Maybe kill the $240K funding tier  
PPS. Thanks to all who voted through the meager @ARTorDAI proposal!!!

Grants based solely on upvotes/downvotes are way too easy to manipulate, voted no.

I agree with Vapo. One wallet one vote is ideal until you consider how easy it is to make wallets.

I do support a $500 tier though. @BBStudios how much VP do you think should be required to pass a $500 grant? What should happen if someone starts autopassing a bunch of low tier grants with their own VP?

Or maybe we approach it as Tudamoon was saying. There are 50ish $500 grants per month. Grantees apply competitively. Users vote and at the end of the month, the top voted 50 grant applicants receive the $500 and then the cycle resets.

Grants based on Up/Down Votes is a non-starter. This would lead to manipulation and abuse of our DAO funds.

Users need to have ‘skin in the game’ for an egalitarian and democratic system to exist which is why VP exists.

Also, you can already request a Tier 1 grant for $50 as $1,500 is the maximum for this tier not the minimum.

ile Ok I get that people will just manipulate if its 1 wallet 1 vote. I like tudamoon’s solution, sounds like it could work, should submit that as a proposal.
