Hey Everyone,
UPDATE:&nbsp; We decided to go down the big tipper track to keep things simple. See <a href="../post/2600#jhMYwkbfxhpPu7PHt7sD">comment</a>
Sam Elamin from Imbue. We have been very busy since receiving funding from the treasury and have shipped almost all our milestones One thing we did notice over the past few months has been the tension around treasury spending. We think Imbue is set up perfectly to solve issues around accountability and funding and have built out the Imbue <a href="https://www.imbue.network/blogs/imbue-grants">grants</a>&nbsp;
We also did a live demo of it on <a href="https://twitter.com/thekusamarian/status/1693704945717870736?s=46&amp;t=zgh35N80b7sSgM--juphNw">AAG</a> with our chain on Rococo
What we want to do next is do a demo of what this process looks like on Kusama.&nbsp;
The goal of the demo is to showcase refunds going back into the treasury&nbsp;
We will be launching a grant for 10 KSM with 2 milestones
1) Milestone 1 for 1 KSM (10%). This will get approved 2) Milestone 2 for 9 KSM (90%). This will get refunded back to the treasury
We have 5 approvers lined up

<li>Giles, an engineer @ parity and part of the fellowship</li>
<li>Daniel from Parity and part of the SBP</li>

A demo like this should ideally be going through the small/big tipper track but that is not currently possible because the treasury &mdash; currently - does not support XCM transfers,
We believe the treasury should support xcm transfers going through the different treasury tracks, this demo will be further evidence of that need
Because of this we will have to transfer the funds to the parachain soverign account then do a proposal on Imbue to allocate the funds to the grant escrow addres
We strongly believe this is the best way to ensure accountability and transparency while still remaining flexible enough to support different curators for different grants/projects
Kusama was meant for expermintation and to drive innovation, and this is a perfect example of this.
Imbue grants was built to solve a key community need, as such we would love your feedback on both this proposed demo as well as how we can best serve the community's requirements
