Committee Vote

3. To approve a grant application, at least 5 out of 7 committee members must vote in favor on the snapshot.

Funding

1. After a successful snapshot vote, the committee will verify the proposed transaction for the Grants Program Safe and execute payment transactions based on achieved milestones.
