# Grant proposal: Unlock East Africa - Ecosystem Growth Initiative ### Description: Unlock East Africa focuses on increasing Unlock Protocol adoption across East Africa, starting with Rwanda. Africa is buzzing with new Web3 communities and numerous emerging projects, and is a prime target for Unlock's innovative ticketing, membership and subscription offerings. This initiative aims to educate developers, creators, and entrepreneurs first about Ethereum, and takes a step further to illustrate Unlock Protocol as an prime example of an application built on Ethereum, and demonstrate some of its use cases such as ticketing, memberships, rewards, and loyalty programs in a practical manner. This approach will not only educate but also familiarize participants with Unlock's distinctive features as they go through different experiences in real time. The project involves 7 workshops designed to cater to both technical and non-technical audience, with sustained weekly events over the span of 3 months in order to facilitate a sense of community. We round off with a hackathon to usher new developers into the ecosystem and provide an opportunity for builders to create innovative solutions to local challenges using power of Ethereum and Unlock Protocol. Through this grant, we aim to instigate Unlock's adoption at ground level in East Africa, building toward a powerful ripple effect across the entire continent's blooming Web3 communities. **Completion Time:** 3 Months **Team:** Danny Thomx (myself), an experienced blockchain developer and educator. Also partnering with on-ground entities like ALX Rwanda. ### Milestones: #### Month 1: Pre-Event Preparation **Objectives:** 1.

# Retroactive Funding June 2024 According to our new guidelines, please vote on who in our community should get a share of the monthly 100UDT retroactive funding. The new guidelines ask you to review actively what people have contributed to the last month as a community member. If it didn't happen on-chain, on the internet, or shows evidence of any kind, please don't acknowledge it and be fair about how you distribute among members. The DAO's Timelock address should always be added in case people think that not the total amount should be spent in a month. To vote with the above in mind, please review each of the nominations via the discourse **Link:** <https://unlock.community/t/retroactive-funding-june-2024/530/4> **Snapshot:** <https://snapshot.org/#/unlock-protocol.eth/proposal/0x03f594b5395b881f89909f58bcd38b08525c11e720df1ee91c8416af3ec39030> ## Nominations *All nominations can be reviewed using the link above as well!* Blahkheart - 0xCA7632327567796e51920F6b16373e92c7823854 - 26.59 UDT wonderwomancode - 0xFf4eC2057A4180A4Cd18FDEA144e53245e39869D - 22.72 UDT Yonks - 0xE1b1aEC67295E36803be239e55e0e3B67AF4fFB4 - 27.96 UDT lana - 0xaa3600788b72863ff51c8f0db5f10bb65fbfeab4 - 22.72 UDT
While I am in support of this proposal and I'm one of the few community members who voted in favor of the original proposal on Snapshot. My decision to abstain is based on my duty as a delegate and well-meaning community member who wants to avoid setting an undesirable precedent. This is because the original terms of the proposal have changed concerning the amount being requested by the grantee. Granted the change is justifiable, but I think the correct process should be to submit a snapshot proposal to the DAO indicating the change in amount before making an onchain proposal. This safeguards against anyone making arbitrary changes to their proposals after it has been initially approved on Snapshot and submitting something different for onchain voting and citing this as an example if the outcome is unfavorable.
