Funding Hydro development & integrations in 2025

This proposal requests community approval to fund Hydro product development and some Hydro-focused grants for the first two quarters of 2025 by giving Informal a green light to re-assign the excess Q4 2024 budget to Hydro and approving the transfer of an additional 180,000 ATOM from the community pool. In addition, since we believe that Hydro could be partly self-funded in the second half of 2025, we're requesting community approval to send Hydro's PoL profits to an account collectively owned by Hydro's voters but placed under the control of the Cosmos Hub community (see the Hydro Treasury section for details).

The full funding proposal details and discussion are available on the Cosmos Hub Forum.
