# **PoolTogether Onchain Governance Contracts Upgrade / ScopeLift**
The budget being requested will be used to fund 125-200 engineering hours from the ScopeLift team. In that time, we will execute on an upgrade to the PoolTogether DAO's onchain Governance contracts.
[ScopeLift](https://scopelift.co/team) is a 7 person team of expert EVM devs. We've had the pleasure of working with many great projects in the space, including Uniswap, Optimism, Gitcoin, Endaoment, and others. We have our own project called [Umbra](https://app.umbra.cash/), which is a tool for privacy preserving payments. Contracts we've written have processed and custodied hundreds of millions of dollars.
ScopeLift has extensive experience relevant to the project being proposed. We have previously received grant funding for Governance related work from Uniswap, Aave, and the Ethereum Foundation. We created [Flexible Voting](https://www.scopelift.co/blog/introducing-flexible-voting) and helped build and maintain [Seatbelt](https://www.scopelift.co/blog/seatbelt-for-governance). We are currently working with [Gitcoin](https://github.com/gitcoinco/Alpha-Governor-Upgrade) to execute a similar Governor upgrade for that DAO.
