by 0x87956abc4078a0cc3b89b419928b857b8af826ed (Nacho)

This proposal aims to lower the current fee from USD 100 to a lower value. The objective is to reduce barriers for creators, making it more accessible while ensuring the curators' compensation remains sufficient. This reduced fee will encourage more participation and innovation within the community, fostering a richer ecosystem. Additionally, We need to define a value that will still be sufficient to cover the costs associated with paying curators, ensuring that quality and standards are maintained, storage and DAO earnings.

Focus Point:

1. Accessibility: The current USD 100 fee can be a deterrent for many potential creators, especially those new to the platform or from regions with lower economic means. A lower fee will encourage more diverse participation.
2. Sustainability: A new lower fee will be enough to ensure curators are fairly compensated for their work, maintaining the quality and integrity of the platform.
3. Growth: More creators mean more content, which can lead to a more vibrant and engaging platform, attracting more users and retaining existing ones.

Rationale:

Fixed USD Price, Paid in MANA: The proposed fee will be in USD, payable in MANA. This approach removes the concerns around crypto price volatility while offering creators a stable pricing point.

Curator Compensation: A percentage of the fee will be dedicated to compensating curators. This compensation aligns with their responsibilities and recognizes the importance of their role in maintaining quality and integrity.

DAO Investment in Growth: A percentage of the fee will be allocated to the Decentraland DAO. This commitment reflects our dedication to fostering innovation, development, and the overall expansion of our metaverse.

Catalyst Network Support: To sustain the Catalyst network, fees used for primary sales will be directed towards supporting the hosting expenses. This ensures our platform's stability and reliability.
