Hey @theanthonyware thank you for taking the time to write this funding proposal!

So few general comments I also left on the others.

It would make reviewing much easier if these were tables following a template rather than screenshots as currently they are rather hard to review.

How do the bounties fund work? Who can set the bounties?

Will the 100k be divided equally in matching for the main round between GR15 and GR16?

As I asked in the other funding proposals, if this $45k remains unspent will it rollover to the budget of the next quarter/period?

The bounties set by the Public Goods Working Group.

The goal is equally dividing for the main Gitcoin Grants rounds.

Yes they rollover.

Ecosystem grants are a specific ENS Ecosystem and details are provided each round for how to qualify for those grants during the Gitcoin rounds. The PG funding in this budget are for the main Gitcoin rounds which is the larger pool of funding.
