@thewhiterabbitM - If you read my post again you will see that I was making an example and did not reference Lunar Strategy, did not mention the example was based on historical events, and did not mention DED as the memecoin. I was trying to understand Mister Cole’s question from his example - “do we expect curators to ‘shoulder the responsibility’” - so I just laid out a scenario as he described and did not understand his question/comment.
If I were to use Lunar Strategy in that example, they received close to $1M in DOT value across multiple referendums, grants, and bounty - not 1M DOT tokens.
- Referendum 385: Provided 91,557 DOT(approximately $410,000) for the initial marketing efforts
- Referendum 392: Allocated 50,000 DOT(approximately $225,000) for extended marketing activities
- Community Grants: Various community grants contributed around $300,000
- Treasury Proposals: Additional proposals to the Polkadot Treasury secured about $65,000](Polkadot Ecosystem growth memecoin Report).
