The L2 ecosystem is ripe for growth. While there has been success building out a competitive marketplace of protocols on the Ethereum mainnet for a financial market to exist, the L2 ecosystem has a lot of room for growth! Protocols today know how to build, but often don’t know what to build. They rely on noisy, biased sources of information: voluntary Discord chats, small-sample directed feedback collection efforts, or plain intuition to chart product roadmaps and deploy development resources.
When establishing relationships with new partner projects and building our investment portfolio, we value:
- Individuals and projects dedicated to the advancement of the Ethereum L2 ecosystem
- Initiatives to improve L2 infrastructure
- Community-driven projects that fill a need identified by the DAO
Here are the criteria we apply when selecting and evaluating projects:
- 1.Need filled or met by the project
- 2.Number of users in need or affected by the potential project
- 3.Complexity of the project and likelihood of success
- 4.Tokenomics of the project
- 5.Underlying dev team’s background and potential ability to deliver
- 6.Amount of investment it would take to be a meaningful partner
- 7.Timeline and potential ROI to the treasury
- 8.Compatible values and vision with Layer2DAO
- 9.DAO’s community support for the project
- 10.Opportunity cost and risk mitigation
