We need to expand our team to deliver the automated deployments of Arbitrum chains plus research execution-layer upgrade to EIP-1153-compatible. Currently we have two senior infra developers (7500 usd/month), we need to hire one more researcher/senior developer (7500/month) and two new developers to help with devops & frontend (at 6000 usd/month), a total is (7500x3+6000x2)x3 = 103500 USD for 3 months of development. To account for additional expenses and infrastructure costs we’d bring the total to about 120000 USD. The further maintenance of this chain might require additional capital but we don’t include it in the grant proposal and would seek further funding means later
