Dear @Toma Sadova,
Thank you for your proposal. Our vote on this proposal is NAY.
The Big Spender track requires a 60% quorum according to our voting policy. This proposal has received three aye and two nay votes from ten members, with two members abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:
> The referendum received mixed feedback, with supporters praising the list of curators as trusted and capable of advancing ink! development. However, concerns were raised about past issues with the ink!ubator program, including a lack of professionalism and follow-through, leading some members to oppose the proposal. Others abstained, citing the need for a clearer strategy for broader ink! adoption. One member suggested that the bounty be closed in line with the outcome of referendum 1160 and reopened with a restructured approach.
The full discussion, along with individual members' votes and comments, can be found in our internal voting.
Kind regards,
Permanence DAO

This is Alejandro from R0GUE. I wanted to express our excitement about participating as curators in this bounty. We are truly looking forward to collaborating with such an incredible group of agents. We believe that our combined efforts will not only help ink! gain traction but also foster the development of amazing new applications within the ecosystem.
Go R0GUE!
Hello all!
As I write this comment we are gold platting some details before incorporating some changes to the above proposal and discussion.
But I'd like to share here the change of direction this initiative is taking. For what is worth, expect an edit on the above post including the following:
Given that the execution of ref#1160 failed and bounty #19 is still open, we have decided to take a different approach to execute this proposal. We're moving away from opening a new bounty, which now clearly feels unnecessary, and instead pursuing the substitution of the current curator set.
We have communicated our intentions to the current curator set. It's also worth noting that the main motivation for closing bounty #19 seemed to be a lack of activity and pro activity. We believe that refreshing the set with a group of passionate and involved agents will have a positive effect on both the application developers using ink! and the ecosystem as a whole.
The change of curators won't be accompanied by a top-up. We will focus on leveraging the existing funds and demonstrating demand.
The action plan will unfold as follows:
- 🟣 A referendum proposing the new curator set will be opened.
- 🟣 Once the decision deposit for the above referendum is paid, the current curator set will sign and submit
unassign_curator(). - 🟣 The referendum will be executed.
- 🟣 The newly proposed curator will sign and submit
accept_curator(). - 🟣 ink!ubator will reopen its doors. The website will be updated, and new applicants will be welcomed.

GM,
Nice to see ink! proposal!
I'm a fan.
However, can you describe clearer about what type of projects that you guys intend to grant instead of "high-potential"? I'm not a fan of seeing too many "toolings" without any particular application for consumer. And after grant, what's next? Did you already connect and work with any incubation program/organization to distribute those products to the market?
Regards,
Cris.
GM @CrisOpenGuild ,
ink! certainly has a solid ecosystem of tools ready for devs to use.
Having that in mind it we want these funds to focus on impulsing the creation of interesting applications that can attract users.
While we have access to some teams dedicated to incubate projects allowing this continued story, I imagine we don't know them all, so if you or any other person reading this would be interested in being part of what comes after for the projects beneficiaries of ink!ubator, please feel free to reach me out. My X and mail are linked to this account on chain identity.
Hello, it’s a pleasure to greet you. The referendum execution to close Bounty 19 failed; what’s next for this bounty?
Hi @Lily_Mendz, I'm x-posting my answer form the forum here:
Indeed, it seems that the proposal to close ink!ubator v1 has failed, as one of its child bounties remains open and needs to be claimed.

My personal concern regarding ref#1160 was the community sentiment surrounding the removal of support for teams and individuals building applications with ink!. Although it seems that the motivation for closing bounty #19 was primarily the decline in activity and effort put into it.
For the purpose of this post and the suggested initiative, the outcome of ref#1160 had no effective impact. I believe a change of curators would require community voting, and the same applies to “reopening” the bounty.
The different teams involved are, of course, firm believers that ink! provides value and reasons to develop smart contracts within this ecosystem. The main question still remains: does the community want to support applications being built with ink!?
With bounty #19 open, the option of submitting a change of curators is still available. Therefore, we will need to decide what the most effective path forward would be.
