Osmosis Support Lab Funding Round March 2024-2025

For me this is a full Yes, hands down.

If we do a simple math. For $440k we get a 24/7 service which is appreciated by the users and which makes Osmosis stand out amongst all the other DEXxes out there.
That means that this is a mere $50 we pay these people per hour (440000 / (365*24)).
In a lot of countries about half of that you pay in taxes. And then insurance also has to be deducted after taxes are paid. So the pay per hour is not that high (note that the costs for tools are also included in this $50/hour, so in reality the pay is lower). And in exchange we get a full service in return. So it does not really matter how they manage their payments internally imo, since the payment requested is just not that exotic. And we can assess the service delivered for the money, because their work is out in the open and very transparent. Not delivering is visible for everyone immediately. And they have a trackrecord to deliver.

It has already been proven that the retention of users for Osmosis is much much higher than other decentralized exchanges.

Comparing this to the most recent approved pay for the OGP (Osmosis Grants Program v3 Renewal) the pay per month is comparable.
This proposal passed with flying colors (Mintscan).

For me it would be seriously weird if this proposal would get much headwind. If that would be the case, then we should be much much more strict on other less visible and tangible spends as well (yes, precedents has been set). To make a long story short, full YES!
