The discussion will pivot around the discrepancies between how decentralization is conceptualized and discussed in the Web3 community versus how it is pragmatically implemented in various Web3 projects and platforms.
Many DAOs assume they can have one grants program and this one program will optimally fund everything they are looking to accomplish. In reality, different types of grant programs are better for funding different outcomes. Some are better for public goods vs private goods. Quadratic funding is great for sourcing new grants and involving the community. Delegated domain authority is great for doubling down on successful efforts. Why would we assume that one program could possibly sustain the needs of an entire ecosystem?
