Hey Pepo, the discretionary budget has not been utilized since it has been instated. It’s also governed by the UAC, not the growth program. The UAC has received a couple of deals from growth program partners in the last few months, but all of them have been internally vetoed since passing them requires a unanimous internal UAC vote. That barrier has failed to be crossed so far. In the event that one of these discretionary campaigns passes, we will let the DAO know. The lack of comms around the discretionary budget is more the case because there was not an announcement to be made. We covered this in the last community call:
Further, the budget cannot cannot be used unless a certain surplus threshold is met. This is not presently the case due to UNI token falling in price.
As a final point, any other team can also approach us with a high impact deal if they would like, which can include the growth program, UEII, UF, UTWG, Oku, etc. These are often scenarios where public discourse may be too slow (or require short-term discretion), but the potential benefit of being agile/working in private outweighs the cost of going through a 4 week gov process.
If there are other aspects around transparency you would like to see, please let us know.
