Balancer is gaining a GovBot through its grant program!

The team at Balancer Grants DAO is proud to announce the approval of the grant application by Thanos Polychronakis to integrate a GovBot into Balancer’s Discord.

Thanos will develop a tool that will make it easier for Balancer stakeholders to stay in the loop. GovBot will propogate proposals from snapshot.org and update Twitter and Discord users about the status of new proposals. This is a minor grant of 2000$ that will be delivered in a short period of a week after the development starts. Balancer Grants DAO is happy to sponsor these type of grants. The project has a clear direct benefit and we encourage developers with tooling ideas to apply!

Super excited about GovBot joining Balancer ecosystem. This is an awesome first step in a series of funding Balancer’s open source infrastructure projects and developer tooling. — Kei (Grants Committee Member)

I am a passionate open source developer who has pivoted out of my successful career just this June and into DeFi 100%. I have been excited and delighted learning all the new technologies and protocols. Balancer has been an intriguing technology for me as it is the only protocol that allows providing liquidity with minimal impermanent loss. I would love to get to know the protocol better and develop libraries and tooling to help other developers adopt and integrate with balancer. — Thanos Polychronakis (creator of GovBot)
