What we are?
Video Introduction: https://vimeo.com/817200293?share=copy
Meta GamiMall is a Metaverse mall that aims to become the bridge between players and brands and gather them here in Decentraland. We provide rich experiences from multiple mini-games to the music stages, and we insert advertising in those experiences to make sure that the brands get exposure. You will see various forms of brand advertisements here, some are logos, some direct players to their Twitter or Discord, and some are 3d models of Brands' products. And in return, brands will provide attractive but limited wearables or NFTs as rewards, and players need to collect enough materials in games to claim the rewards, in this process, they will also notice Brands' advertisements which is how we bring awareness to brands.
Requested budget cut down?
From 60k to 55k
What brands have we already onboarded to Decentraland? What DCL Community Brands also participated in our event?

How is our traffic? (Based on PlayFab and DCL metrics data)
- Recorded around 9000 unique users in our database
- An average of 230+ daily active users for a half year.
- Most of the time, our concurrent users rank top 2-5 among all Decentraland projects.
- Recently, we saw a maximum of 120 concurrent users due to the MetaMine Season 2.
- Super high average spent time - 6 hrs 23 mins
Why do we need this grant?
To support our daily expanse on keep onboarding brands, maintaining and expanding our traffic, and developing a unified scene to help other DCL community projects create and maintain traffic
Economic Sustainbility
Our project is one of the most promising projects that have the potential of being economically sustainable due to our clear business model, to put it in a simple way, we receive sponsorship from brands like Coca-Cola to join our event. Thus, it is very possible that we can be able to run sustainably in the long term future. We will aim to ask for fewer grants in future, however, this will depend on the macro market, what value can we contribute to the prosperity of Decentraland and the efforts that we spent.
Is our project open-source?
Yes, here is the link（keep updating） https://github.com/MetaLiveStudio/MetaGamiMall_GA
