1) The main goal of the ZZ exchange is to provide services on l2. Let’s primarily reward users who made transactions and helped to achieve the goal.
Gitcoin is closed for the last 2-3 months., so it’s a bad idea to make it as required. Because many active users appeared during (look at the screen #2) this time and used ZZ not for airdrop but for personal usage <- here we can say that ZZ goal was achieved.

Active users, who made many transactions provided more value for testing ZZ. Even they didn’t donate, especially when they didn’t have time, because gitcoin was already closed.
Looking at the screen it becomes clear the highest number of users was in April and all of them didn’t have time for donations (because gitcoin was already closed), but they used ZZ and made it more popular.

So, If ZZ will reward not for useful activities (transactions) but for donates only it will be very strange in relation to active users
So, gitcoin may be a good bonus reward but not required.

2) About rewards for volume trading and ‘more risk’ meaning.
More volume is more liquidity. More liquidity is more users.
No liquidity - no transactions and no users

trading volume has value. More volume is more risk. Especially for early users.

1) Since ZZ grant gitcoin program is not active for a long time, it’s NOT a good idea (I see a lot of proposals with such criteria) to make it required for the airdrop.
Because those, who started using ZZ 1 month ago, for example, and became active users didn’t have a physical possibility to provide gitcoin donates.
But to make it as bonus/additional reward makes sense.

2)Let’s give bonus rewards to early users, who started to support ZZ a few months ago (5-6), for example

3)Trading volume also has value. More volume is more risk. Especially for early users.

let’s not make gitcoin donates mandatory requirements. ZigZag grant is not active for a long time, so it’s not fair for those users who started to use the exchange 1 month ago for example.
We can make gitcoin as bonus rewards
