Hey @RealVovochka, happy to chime in here since we’re managing the grant. Vesting began on April 22nd when our agreement was signed and services began. We’re actually in the process of off-boarding Skip as market mapper following their transition to ICF, with termination initially set for Dec 1st. For accounting purposes, Skip needed to transfer funds earlier, and transferred 410k DYDX which aligns roughly with a 11/21 vesting date. Ultimately, we’ve agreed to mark 11/21 as the termination date, with the remaining DYDX coming back to the DEP. Skip continued their services through Dec 1st, and are now assisting with the transition.
We’ll share more updates on the market mapper role transition as things progress.
Why wasn’t the information about dYdX ending its collaboration with Skip announced when you were changing the trustees and discussing asking for more funds from the Treasury subDAO? Skip was mentioned as one of the successes and a long-term partner of the program right at the top of the list, even though you were aware at that time that the collaboration was ending.
Why are some vesting dates being retroactively applied instead of being announced at the time of the grant?
Am I correct in understanding that if the contract was signed for 12 months, and the collaboration was terminated early, then a proportional amount of the paid 500k USDC should also be returned?
Why are certain things announced publicly only after I accidentally discover some transactions on the blockchain?
How does this align with the transparency you constantly talk about?
Personally, I believe there should be a full audit of the program’s expenses and contracts by an independent organization before any additional funds are disbursed to the program.

what is the state of market mapper now? We missed probably the most important event were permissionless market listing was needed.
