Total Cost: $104,000 per month: Increase of $1,600 over last proposal.

Changes from the previous funding proposal:

Mod funding $14,800 --> $13,500

• Activity on both TG and Discord has decreased. The time investment needed by moderators has also decreased. This funding variable is reviewed every cycle.

Appel - $1,200 --> $500

• The bear market has slowed demand for gear and related activity. Beefy Gear is still in important marketing pillar but will need a cut back due to demand.

Epete - $2,600

• New paid core contributor
• Epete does many vital tasks at Beefy that has not been compensated for some time.

Epete will help us with the following:

• Continue to monitor and remove dead vaults from Beefy keeping the UI clean.
• Work with chebiN and other contributors to redefine and implement an update safety score system. This includes helping and organizing tedious task like updating the risk assessments for each independent vault.
• Give weekly updates on revenue projections for Beefy. Continue to iterate against this, work with data teams to get more accurate data.
• Moderate as needed.
• Assigned tasks for junior development work.

Producer Role:

• Beefy will expand its marketing footprint by launching a series of podcasts discussing Beefy things in addition to the general crypto markets. This will include hosting guests with project partners and pushing content on a two week basis. The need for a producer role is to edit content, push it to the streaming services, help organize content and guest slots.
• The budget for this role is $1K monthly.
