Hi all - an update and additional context here:
Over the last several months, incentive spending through this vault has been deliberately small. The Foundation has been making pool and budget recommendations since late last summer, with Gauntlet handling review and execution - a shift we previewed with the Foundation Feedback Group in September 2025. In practice, that’s meant running targeted experiments to win specific markets on v4 across specific chains, not broad-based campaigns.
After discussing it with the Gauntlet team, we think the better move is to hold off on extending this program. Instead, we’d suggest future incentive campaigns come through as separate proposals - each tightly scoped to a specific opportunity with its own budget and goals, informed by what we’ve learned from these smaller experiments. We appreciate Gauntlet’s ongoing support throughout this program.
With that in mind, we’d recommend governance not move forward with this proposal. We’ve been in contact with Gauntlet and they’ll be cancelling the Snapshot.
