         > Compensation cap: **[FILL IN AMOUNT]**
-
-        Before picking this up, read the [Retroactive Grants post](https://forum.livepeer.org/t/about-the-retroactive-grant-applications-category/3250/2?u=mehrdad) in full. Key points:
-
-        - **Not pay-for-delivery.** Compensation is based on demonstrated adoption and community impact — not on shipping. Real, named community contributors must use your work and publicly attest to it. Building in isolation, then asking for a grant, does not qualify.
-        - **Talk to the community first.** A public discussion (Discord or Forum) about the problem must precede the work, and evidence of it must be part of your application. No prior discussion, no tempcheck, no public signal = won't pass review.
-
-        **Required steps before investing more time:**
-        1. Read the [original Retroactive Grants post](https://forum.livepeer.org/t/about-the-retroactive-grant-applications-category/3250/2?u=mehrdad) in full.
-        2. Start a public discussion (Discord or Forum). Get input. Confirm direction.
-        3. Secure at least one community proof point — a Discord thread with positive signal, a Review Team acknowledgement, or evidence of active adoption.
-        4. Identify, by name, who has this problem.
-        5. Build, ship, and confirm it's actually being used.
-        6. Apply with at least one named community contributor willing to publicly attest to your work's impact on the forum post.

-        Skipping steps 2, 3, 4, or 6 will halt the application. Reach out to **jj.a.ss.o.nn_everestnode** on Discord before you start building.
