GIP-113: Should Gnosis DAO provide grants for Omen 2.0 initiative?

Thank you for raising these concerns. I appreciate the opportunity to address them and clarify our team’s progress.

  1. Grants from DXdao: The funding was allocated to three teams via a governance proposal, not solely to me. While I am part of two teams, the allocation was based on community decisions.
  2. Carrot/Metrom: Carrot has been rebranded as Metrom (x.com), and we have partners committed to launching with us. The new version reflects key learnings from Carrot’s original design inherited from DXdao, and if the product achieves PMF, we will relaunch Carrot with redesigned architecture.
  3. Swapr: Over 9 months, we launched Swapr V3 (Gnosis Chain’s first CLAMM) and Stackly across Gnosis, Arbitrum, and Ethereum Mainnet. Swapr V3 also achieved $61M in total volume to date, where the liquidity was bootstrapped by GnosisDAO.
  4. DXdao: I actively answered questions in the DXdao Discord. I did not petition to mute channels but highlighted that discussions had become less productive after the community decisions were made long back.

Why GnosisDAO can trust us:

  1. Commitment to Gnosis Chain: We successfully launched Swapr V3 post-DXdao and deepened our Gnosis partnerships. GnosisDAO and Karpatkey helped bootstrap liquidity. (We present you: The first CL AMM in Gnosis Chain - by Swapr)
  2. Collaboration with Shutter: We deployed Swapr on Chiado and tested MEV protection ahead of Dappcon. (x.com)
  3. Gnosis AI & Presagio: We’ve worked closely with Gnosis AI for six months on Presagio, visualizing AI agents with prediction markets.
  4. Devcon & GnosisDAO: We’re collaborating with the Gnosis team for Devconflict to explore featured categories in Presagio.
  5. HOPR partnership: We’re running a privacy experiment with HOPR to expose transaction metadata leaks.

We’ve already invested 6 months into Presagio. This grant will help finalize V1 and align our long-term goals with GnosisDAO and Gnosis AI.
