Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum and just some examples... Or smaller DAOs like Decentraland and Gitcoin are doing an awesome job of attracting builders to their communities via Grant Rounds and open funding.
My favoutire example is @Gnars DAO cause I'm an active builder over there. We recently got 300,000 USDC funding from Nouns DAO to bring a million shredders on-chain!
The list can go on forever, you can check all the DAO info you want here, from proposals to activity to pretty much everything.
In my opinion, if we manage to solve the trasparency gap between DHF-funded projects and the community we will have a much healthier DAO and will be easier to attract new builders and investors. More solid projects-->More users-->More investors.
Thanks for the info, it is certainly good to attract people to build things. I just dont think we need to pay for most of the projects we have now.
I thank you for your feedback @mypathtofire , that's why I published this post, so we can all chat and exchange ideas and opinions.
