Tally has raised several rounds of VC funding, creating pressure to generate returns for their investors. This is not inherently problematic, but it does create incentives to push for larger contracts to justify their valuation. To create larger contracts, more features need to be added, many of which stated here don’t appear needed.
Additionally, during my time as secretary, two venture-backed DAO tools we relied on (Parcel and Metropolis) eventually went under and stopped providing support, leaving working groups in a tough spot. Their core offerings were useful (onchain bookkeeping and onchain organization management) but because they couldn’t charge DAOs enough to return capital to investors they had to shut down.
Because of this, I am not a fan of large contracts to vc backed companies as a whole and would favor towards mg funding small teams/solo devs making custom built open-source tools for specific problems similar to how they have funded ENS Ledger.
