In terms of **turnout %** (participating KSM) we have seen a **100% increase** (“community” votes without whale wallets participating).

I am submitting this **proposal** to cover **past operational expenses** that we have not been able to cover through our revenues, as well as funding our **website** (includes a quiz + vote module) and miscellaneous related **side projects**.

I would appreciate it if you took a moment to look at our [proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l4M16KKLkHxtbgklZR8fA6TjwETvupGnImlO0Aujg1s/edit?usp=sharing) in detail. 

I am happy to take any questions and look forward to your feedback.
