I can only speculate on the approach, but I would anticipate that the DF committee will attempt to cover the project lifecycle from [awareness](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/decentralized-futures-distractive-s-vision-for-polkadot/4779) to support and retention by awarding DF grants to various parts of the lifecycle.

We recognize retention is key for project and ecosystem success. We support DevRel proposals, such as [PaperMoon’s proposal](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/decentralized-futures-ecosystem-devrel-team-for-polkadot-by-papermoon/5811), to amplify the activities of AlphaGrowth. While we could consider performing DevRel services in-house, we recognize for the long-term benefits of decentralization and specialization, doing what we do best (growth) is crucial.
