I am writing to address an essential aspect of our ongoing project development — addressing the allocation of the OP grant we received over a year ago. As you're aware, the initial allocation was formulated with a significant focus on user incentives, aimed at fostering engagement and growth within our ecosystem. However, as the project has evolved, it has become increasingly clear that a realignment of our resources is necessary.
The development and refinement of our core offerings must take precedence. The user incentives, while valuable, should follow the establishment of a robust and fully-functional platform. To this end, I propose a revision in the allocation of the OP grant
The original proposal allocated 50% (150,000 OP) towards user incentives. However, considering our current situation it is evident that channeling more of these resources into development will yield long-term benefits, not only for the Dope Wars but also for our users and the wider community.
I propose reducing the OP allocation for user incentives to 25,000 OP and redirecting the remaining funds towards development efforts. Concurrently, we replace the reduced OP user incentives with the intension to use PAPER token as user incentives. This strategic shift allows us to maintain a reward pool for user engagement while channeling vital resources into accelerating the development of key features, enhancing platform stability, and enriching the overall user experience. By reallocating our resources in this manner, we prioritize building a solid foundation for Dope Wars, ensuring that our user incentives are supporting a more polished, engaging, and stable ecosystem

I understand that this proposal represents a significant shift from our initial allocation strategy. However, I believe it is a necessary step to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of our project. By focusing on development now, we are setting the stage for a more vibrant and engaging platform that users will be excited to explore and interact with.
