If you need to discuss, please dms me on telegram @BacDuck

no response? Foundation hasnt made any announcement regarding the implementation of the proposal?

2 week to wait, when response?

Thank you for your thoughtful and dedicated proposal.

Builders hold an essential role within the Viction ecosystem, and it is highly likely that we will have a Retrodrop specifically for Builders in the future. However, for this first Retrodrop, our focus is primarily on users, and therefore, we are unable to make adjustments at this time.

That said, we truly value the ideas, plans, budgets, and other factors you have carefully outlined in your detailed proposal. Rest assured, we will thoroughly consider these elements for our upcoming programs.

Thank you once again for your contribution and support.
