Funding Continuous Impact, Not Instant Hype
summary
Claims that $2B in grants yields only ~5–10% active adopters, and that off‑chain grants distract builders, lead to a concrete alternative: a Divvy on-chain protocol where protocols fund time‑locked smart contracts, define one measurable metric (gas volume, TVL), and pay builders via an on‑chain refer ID and rewards function. Builders integrate with 10 lines of code, campaigns run months, and case studies like Beefy revenue sharing show builders receiving protocol fees directly when on‑chain impact occurs.
