Proposal to improve the DAO Grants Program

The Decentraland DAO Grants Program has played a pivotal role in fostering the growth of our ecosystem. However, recent insights and the evolving needs of our community necessitate a restructuring to enhance the quality and impact of funded projects.

New restructuring is needed, and the following DRAFTS proposals should clarify the restructuring, but to accomplish the need, we should address the following points:

Reviewing Grant Request Processes: Currently, there is no comprehensive assessment of grant applications in terms of quality, feasibility, budget, and alignment with Decentraland's strategic direction. This gap must be addressed to ensure we support projects that genuinely contribute to our ecosystem.

Refining Grant Categories: It's crucial to specify the types of projects we fund and the conditions attached to these grants. This refinement should incorporate feedback from the latest Revocations Committee recommendations and the last governance proposal regarding financial reports, ensuring we fund projects that align with our community's values and objectives.

Defining Budgets for Each Category: Establishing clear budget limits for each grant category will enable better financial control and allocation efficiency within the DAO. This approach requires revisiting, especially in light of the rejection of the last proposal due to disagreements over budget distribution percentages.

Your input is vital in shaping the future of the Decentraland DAO Grants Program. Please share your thoughts and suggestions to help us refine and finalize this proposal. Together, we can ensure that our Grants Program continues to be a pillar for innovation and growth for our community.

If the poll passes, we will move forward in two stages:

• Stage A) Review Grant Request Process
• Stage B) Refine Grant Categories and define % budget for each category.

• Yes
• No
• Invalid question/options
