Just a small logistical thing.

If you plan to combine these three months into a single proposal, can you submit that on mainnet? The amount requested ($27k) would be a significant chunk of gnosis chain base. It’s also a great opportunity to do a mainnet REP sync!

My general rule of thumb is if it’s above $5k, request from mainnet.

:white_check_mark: Budget & Restructuring Swapr for 2023

During October we mostly were in Colombia. During that time we worked on a vision to present DXdao at DXretreat. We presented a split of the products and a the concept of liquidity.eth.

Swapr Pushed through 5 releases Beta 16.1, Beta 16.2, Beta 17, Beta 17.1 and Beta 17.2.

We finished of what was left of Swapr roadmap and started working the future of swapr.
We spent tons of time planning the budget and the restructure of swapr. We went back and forward with 3-4 budgets until we agreed to push this: (Swapr) - H1 2023 budget
We definitely complicated the budget at start to try keeping swapr and its features alive. The plan was to declutter the product and have super focused products instead of a super dapp like swapr. The result was hard to comprehend and wasn’t received well by other workers of dxdao. We simplified and cut out the split while still trying to make sure we can do this at a later stage.

Started the design work of swapbox, tokenpicker and limit order 2.0 that will be worked on H1 2023.

Retrospective: Most of the time went to planning and readjusting to the new structure of dxdao. Being the most expensive squad of dxdao we had a lot of pressure driving down cost. Some wanted Swapr to be on “Maintenance mode” while others wanted to push swapr even more. We found a good balance in the end but it was tough. Liquidity.eth is on hold is currently not being planned or built.

This proposal will be sent to mainnet instead of Gnosis Chain.
