Budgeting Proposal for Development Funding

Introduction

We are excited to present a new proposal for a four-month development funding round aimed at driving significant advancements in the Roko Network. This development round will focus on several key areas that are crucial for the growth of our network. Our primary objectives include enhancing our AI capabilities, refining our governance and economic models, developing new tools and technologies, and expanding our network infrastructure.

This proposal outlines the budgetary requirements for a team of 16 members with experience ranging from robotics, AI, industrial automation, cloud infrastructure, and smart contract development. The funding will support the development of these key areas, while aligning with the Roko Network's original vision to leverage decentralized infrastructure to support our service offerings.
