MIP 81 - MORPHO Grants Pilot Program

A 200K MORPHO budget for a three-month builder-focused cycle feels appropriate for the first iteration of a Morpho DAO grants program. One comment from experience in other DAOs (STIP, OP) is that individual grant decisions are often challenging for delegates to evaluate effectively due to incentives, bandwidth, and domain expertise. Having delegates vote on proposals is a fine place to start, but it’s definitely something the DAO can work to address in future iterations, whether via a council or more cavalier approaches.

One clarification: Are we correct in assuming the Morpho Association handles the program’s operations, such as managing deadlines, funding, and assessing grantee outcomes?
