As we apply for the grant as a team, we want to highlight some involvements and contributions to the organization and structure of the DeSci Grants Round that is not clear in separation from what we achieved. It's worth noting that during the previous season when this round was launched and held, Boris received part-time pay from Gitcoin as part of the PGF workstream. This partial compensation recognized Boris's efforts in shaping and organizing the grants round.

Regarding Manuel's compensation, he received outside compensation from MoonDAO for his role in initiating this round as one of the first sponsors with MoonDAO. However, since the election as DeSci stewards by the Gitcoin community, we considered our activities within the grants round as a separate project. While working with MoonDAO, Manuel's responsibilities involved allocating and transferring sponsorship to support the grants round. On the other hand, as a DeSci steward, Manuel's primary focus was on reviewing applications and ensuring the success of the DeSci Round.

Jelani and Carolina from DeSci.World, along with Sarah from SpaceBioDAO, dedicated their time and efforts to this DeSci Round without receiving any compensation for their work.

It's essential to highlight these contributions as they embody the spirit of community-driven initiatives. The stewards' efforts significantly contributed to the achievements and impact of the DeSci Grants Round.
