I hope this proposal can be first reviewed by the fellowship lead by Gav.

Abstain

I am not entirely sure about the technical content of the proposal, so I prefer to abstain.

12Kt...DCoJ

12KtA8mtfsK1CyQb4utLiwG3ao22z77w2cM2GqnaL2RiDCoJ

Aye

after considering community feedback, i'm switching from abstain to aye. cross-chain activity is gaining momentum, and this proposal seems like it could help support that growth. early usage via hydration and bifrost suggests it’s worth exploring.

Nay

I'd like to see this pursued via the fellowship or fellowship treasury

13ED...KQbF

13EDmaUe89xXocPppFmuoAZaCsckaJy3deAyVyiykk1zKQbF

Aye

After reviewing this again, we still believe it could be funded elsewhere, but the advantages of this going through OpenGov at this very moment outweigh its disadvantages. The reduced cost in bridge fees and a faster go-to-market for JAM implementers makes this a sensible Aye.

12Hi...E9N3

12His7t3EJ38tjdBbivUzWQeaNCLKfMqtKp1Ed3xHMyCE9N3

Aye

With the strong show of support from both the technical fellowship as well as the W3F, my second vote is AYE.
