Should the following Tier 4: up to $60,000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff) grant in the Community category be approved?

Abstract

Meta-Verzus is an event run inside Decentraland where we onboard artists every week through Rap battle events. We have been throwing these events inside Decentral.Games Stronghold #ICE Poker lounge.

We have completed season 1 of the international english league and completed season 1 of the Spanish league

We are an indie movement called $RAP HEADZ who have been getting musicians from the space to DJ and RAP at our weekly events. We have also onboarding over 12 artists on every season of Metaverzus.

We want to pay the artists that we hire from the space, plus pay the hosts for our International league and Spanish leagues. We would also create onboarding videos to make it easy for the Rap community from web2 to join DCL.

Description

The funding will go to the following

English league 50%

Spanish league 40%

Wearable acquisition for prizes 10%

The split would go the hosts, the dcl musicians and DJs who participate, the new artist we onboard and the remaining to purchase a variety of DCL creators wearables which will be used as prizes. This is important because the web2 artists will be taught how to open a wallet and connect to DCL to experience their new wearables. We are hoping this makes then get excited and walk down the rabbit whole with all of us
