Hey @TikiTiki appreciate the enquiry.
For this RFP, we unfortunately couldn’t come to an agreeable technical specification with the selected team, despite going back and forth for close to 2 weeks, hence we have decided to terminate the relationship with them. No grant amount was disbursed.
The Kitchen is currently re-evaluating the effectiveness of the RFP system. This will determine whether we reopen this specific RFP, launch other RFPs, etc. as we work towards our v4 launch.
So far, we have not spent a single CAKE that we have been granted usage for via the vote proposal, and we will only do so when it makes sense (i.e. when a hook that we deem useful and feasible is built).
This is only one part of our v4 strategy. We have other components as well - hackathons, private discussions with hook builders, building some in-house hooks, etc. that will work together to ensure a strong v4 launch.
