OCEANDAO ROADMAP | We're excited to reveal a near-term roadmap for OceanDAO after weeks of reviewing feedback, challenges, processes, and available tooling. 🔍

This is the first of many steps to provide transparency and to scale community funding. 🧾

With the roadmap, we want to involve the community at large in the challenges, goals & exciting developments ahead for OceanDAO. 🏗

Our mission is to create new ways to improve DAO collaboration so we can embark together on the journey to the future of decentralized data. 💻

We have increased the total grant amount to 272,000 $OCEAN for Round 6! By doing so, we hope to encourage more project submissions to build the Ocean ecosystem, and #DeFi as a whole.

Submit your grant proposal by June 1st midnight GMT 👇
