Both. If you’re a contributor to PDA, PDA covers, if you’re from Douro Labs, DL covers. But overall the majority of the marketing stems from the PDA as it’s sole purpose is to grow the network adoption, brand awareness and further the self-sustainability of the Pyth Network.
On the latter part, isn’t the Community Council with some initiatives like this one or this other, good first steps? They are only starting/getting designed so maybe should see their impacts and reassessing?
Wholeheartedly agree.
So these pushed feeds are operated by Network contributors (i.e. Pyth Data Association) but are not subsidized. Costs are borne by the requestors. This aims more to offload the infrastructure workload on apps, not the cost.
I think this should pass through (if at all) via the Community Council. The DAO itself shouldn’t be/act as a VC, especially in an industry where 99% of the projects fail to sustain medium term traction. Rephrased, for now, I’d prefer the DAO buying PYTH tokens than most likely losing some acquired revenues for experiments.
But again, the Pythentity and others similar projects (TG bot), may very well be worth it, and should draft their proposal on the forum. And then, DAO members can see if this would be coming from the CC or instead the DAO Treasury itself.
