BLIP 420-Rugs Engineer

PROPOSAL: 500,000 BLO to be distributed to a wallet (theskeletonkey.eth) controlled by Based community manager, Kernel Wildfire

The Based community has worked together for the last three months to create Based Rugs, a decentralized NFT platform. The community has nearly finished Rugs. This includes a frontend, backend (with IPFS database), and recruitment of more than 30+ artists. We are in the works with two protocols for future integrations of Rugs into their galleries. However, we have not received the smart contract work, so we need to hire another contractor to finish this.

We are requesting 500,000 BLO to hire a smart contract engineer to develop a (1) token contract, (2) governance contract, which the current team is capable of testing and incorporating into the front end and Snapshot.

The community manager will use the funds to hire a smart contract engineer. Any remaining funds will be transferred to the Based Rugs Treasury after launch.

This proposal supplants the previous one, passed on June 20 2021: https://snapshot.org/#/basedloans.eth/proposal/Qmc6bzKNJq3HsMr9p9Nvh5EDCFRvQ3bY7kCemJNz9M8g6D
