Good evening Moonbeam community,

We deem it important to address the recent concerns regarding the Tranche 2 grant voting process. You may notice that the snapshot voting is currently closed a lot earlier than anticipated. The Moonbeam community thrives on active participation, vigilance, and mutual trust, which are foundational to our collective success.


We acknowledge that an irregularity has been identified in the Snapshot voting process for the Ecosystem Grants. Rather than considering voting power at the block where the snapshot was created; voting power was being determined at the block where a user voted. The bug was brought to our attention by our vigilant community members.

Upon discovery, our team promptly reported the issue to Snapshot.org. The bug was confirmed, subsequently rectified via a hotfix, and the results have been retallied. We can reassure our community members that these swift actions were executed to maintain the integrity of the voting process.

In relation to concerns voiced regarding the validity of the vote due to the identified bug, we fully appreciate their vigilance and commitment to the transparency and fairness of our ecosystem. It is important to underscore that the decision to invalidate a vote and commence a re-run is a grave one, meriting careful deliberation. We will announce the date when we will relaunch the snapshot vote soon, please stay tuned.

Moving forward, we remain committed to continually enhancing the transparency and integrity of our procedures. We are taking the lessons from this incident in stride. We pledge to keep the community in the loop and invite everyone to partake in these vital discussions.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued engagement and understanding. The Moonbeam community thrives on your trust and participation.

🚨 Reminder: Join us later today for this week's Devs Open Mic session, hosted by Developer Relations Engineer, Kevin Neilson!

☑️ Ask questions about building on Moonbeam networks
☑️ Share with us what projects you're working on
☑️ Hang out w/ the Moonbeam Community

Only on Discord 👾 https://discord.gg/moonbeam

Session will take place today on the Devs-Open-Mic channel. Voice permissions will be enabled once it begins or use the in-channel text chat to ask questions/chat.

🗓️ Thursday, July 20 ⏰ 17:00 hrs. UTC

See you there!

Hello Moonbeam Community!

This is an important update to share related to the Snapshot vote for Tranche 2 of the ecosystem grants.

If you haven't already read our forum post from yesterday, please check it out here -
https://forum.moonbeam.foundation/t/ecosystem-grants-program-snapshot-update/1101

To summarize, technical issues were encountered with the Snapshot vote. Those issues have been resolved now, and the relaunch of the Snapshot vote is scheduled for tomorrow - July 21, 2023 at 15:00 UTC.

Given the timing of the vote relaunch is just before the weekend, the vote duration has been extended to 7 days. This adjustment will ensure everyone gets a chance to cast their vote. The vote will therefore close on July 28, 2023 at 15:00 UTC.

Rest assured, all the same participants and rules for the snapshot vote will apply as before.

We want to take a moment to thank each one of you for your vigilance in helping us spot the issue, and for your patience as we worked through the technical challenges. Your active participation and understanding continue to drive our community forward!

As always, we're here if you have any questions or concerns. Let's keep the conversation going!

Hello Moonbeam Community!

We’re excited to share that the Snapshot vote for our Ecosystem Grants Program, Tranche 2, is now live! The vote begins at 15:00 UTC on July 21, 2023 and will run until 15:00 UTC on July 28, 2023.

🗳️ Consider each proposal & vote here: https://snapshot.org/#/moonbeam-foundation.eth/proposal/0x037741b66815dcd1fc8076e258f157fafbd6d65dbeca851a823987c25026b812

Here’s a quick rundown of the rules:
🔹Teams must secure at least 250K USD/1,032,204 GLMR (250K at a 0.2422$ 7-day TWAP) of the vote to qualify. This represents 22.93% of the vote.
🔹Teams securing less than the required amount will not be eligible, and their funds will be redirected to the grant committee.
🔹If more than 1.75M GLMR is left over, the vote will be considered “hung” and deemed invalid.
🔹No team can receive more than 2,000,000 GLMR, amounting to 44.44% of the total vote.
🔹Any surplus over 2M GLMR will be redistributed among the remaining eligible teams, i.e., those who have received 22.93% or more of the vote.

Remember, GLMR holders can cast votes with both free and staked GLMR. The amount you can vote with is what you had in your wallet at the time the snapshot vote was created.

We highly encourage everyone to read the various proposals and participate in this important process. Your vote truly matters in shaping our ecosystem!

As always, we’re here if you have any questions or concerns. Let’s continue shaping the future of Moonbeam together!

🚨 Tranche 2 Update: The results of the Snapshot vote are in & the majority of the 10 eligible teams did not meet the support threshold! With 3.5M GLMR still available, a runoff Snapshot vote will be held, starting tomorrow (Tuesday, 08/01, 03:00 pm UTC), to give teams another shot at earning an ecosystem grant. https://forum.moonbeam.foundation/t/update-on-the-tranche-2-ecosystem-vote/1126

Details ⤵️

To avoid another hung vote situation, new requirements have been voted on & added by the Community Grants Committee. They include:

🔹 A reduced minimum support threshold of 14.28%
🔹 Only the top 3 teams can move on to the on-chain vote

👉 See a complete summary of the Committee's decisions here: https://forum.moonbeam.foundation/t/update-on-the-tranche-2-ecosystem-vote/1126#summary-of-committee-decisions-5

TFA DAO was the only project to reach the signal vote threshold & will be included in an on-chain vote to ratify or deny their grant. The top 3 teams from the runoff vote will each be put to a separate referenda on Moonbeam, along with TFA as winner from the first signal vote; for a total of 4️⃣ referenda.

As always, we appreciate the feedback & support from our amazing community and participation from the projects that help make this eco great!
