Voted yes.
I believe the timing of the Astar zkEVM mainnet launch is the perfect opportunity to attract new users to the Astar ecosystem. Please let me know if there are any updates on the Use Cases!

I can’t speak for the technical details, like the tokenomics or specific allocation.
But I want to say, from my views:
- supporting the ZkEVM launch is to me a crucial opportunity to build momentum and attract attention =\> users =\> liquidity
- I believe it’s worth considering supporting meme coins.
I recently changed my view on meme coins, after getting insights from various people.
Big other foundations are pushing it or had success in attracting users thanks to that.
They bring awareness and liquidity. It’s an entry for other, more sustainable initiatives.
It’s true in other industries.
One can see it as the Maslow pyramid of Web 3

If I was able to vote I would have Voted Yes! Supporting the Ecosystem in many different ways and as much as possible is a good thing as we know from the amount of variation and innovation we see in this space.
In regards to the small Meme discussion, I think they have there place and are often seem as somewhat degrading because of the angles marketers may use to attract attention and followers.
I do feel that if marketed correctly and safely that even they can be a useful tool to help increase the ‘awareness and liquidity’ in flows into the whole Ecosystem.

I support that ideology you raise regarding memes in blockchain, I think the main barrier is the way they are sold.

Hi @Leo
There is a wallet publicly shared, so we can see all the txs from here. In that matter, I was quite excited to see “upcoming” expenses.

Hi @Leo
At least, from my understanding, the following two use cases and related discussion therein would be related to what your are curious about. 🙂
> [@Toma](#):
>
> - **Use Case: Marketing Grants & Support**
> - up to 10% allocation
> - Short description: Marketing grants support projects, whether new or existing, that have clear use cases, a defined timelines. Only reserved for capable teams with a proven track record in budgeting, benchmarking, executing marketing campaigns, and delivering tangible results. **Project must be live on Astar zkEVM**. **Focus Areas to support:**
> 1. Digital media expenditures, including Meta, X, Google Ads, Linkedin, and Display ads.
> 2. Offline marketing endeavors and events with high impact in Ethereum community.
> 3. Enticements for new users and referral programs.
> 4. Using external marketing agencies, tools, and services.
>
> - **Use Case: Astar Hackathon prize pool**
> - up to 20% allocation
> - Short description: A hackathon/grants program inspired by ‘Build on Base’, a sub-campaign used to attract builders and bootstrap projects in various categories during Coinbase’s on-chain summer campaign. While our critical infrastructure partners will provide a good base and tooling for developers to start working with, this hackathon will incentivize them to build and deploy dApps and tools to provide the community with things to explore and do during the launch phase, and increase overall on-chain activity. Using external marketing agencies, tools, and services.
