## Synopsis


Renew and increase the recurring payout for 0xBA5ED for 6 funding cycles_._


## Motivation


My recurring payout has come to an end, this proposal will allow me to keep working full-time on Juicebox. I did a[ poll in the discord ](https://discord.com/channels/775859454780244028/879851197857677372/1041419136963727463)to check the sentiment regarding my contributions, 75% voted for me to increase my payout to $10k.


Some of the things I have worked on since the previous proposal:

- NFT-Rewards ([commits](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/juice-721-delegate/commits?author=xBA5ED))
- JBX Protocol V3 ([commits](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/juice-contracts-v3/commits?author=xBA5ED))
- Aztec connect bridge* ([commits](https://github.com/xBA5ED/juice-aztec-connect-bridges/commits/0xBA5ED/juicebox)) (WIP)
- Ghost/private payer ([commits](https://github.com/jbx-protocol/juice-private-payer/pull/1/commits)) (WIP)

* Allows for zero-knowledge private payments, redemptions and donations


In future FCs I would like to work on:

- Finishing WIP extensions (Aztec, AppleJuice, Ghost payers etc.)
- L2/Side-chain versions of Juicebox
- Doing more research on/prototyping of standardising extensions
- Various extensions for Juicebox (especially gasless payments and gas refunds)
- Do more exploring regarding [JBFOSS](https://discord.com/channels/775859454780244028/876252266594721873/1034486197017378938)

The above are just some examples of things I would really like to work on, however I ofc can't do all of these in the next 6 FCs (one L2 version of Juicebox may take more than 6 FCs). I always try to work on what (I think) the DAO feels is the highest priority.


## Specification


For the next 6 funding cycles pay (0xBA5ED) `0xb045708e396E20071324C1aed2E4CFB90A0764FE` $10,000 per funding cycle and keep him on the list of beneficiaries of reserved JBX.


## Rationale


Smart-contract developers are hard to hire because its new, niche and there is a high demand. 0xBA5ED is an experienced smart-contract developer and is comfortable with and has a good understanding of the Juicebox V3 codebase.


## Risks

- Reduced quality or less code shipped than before
- 0xBA5ED could stop contributing

## Timeline


Proposal will take effect immediately
