Should the following Tier 5: up to $120,000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff) grant in the Platform Contributor category be approved?

Abstract

Our mission at The Decentraland Report is to preserve the history of our unfolding metaverse. As a Participate-To-Earn Experience unified under this common mission, we have grown into a team of Reporters who stream daily to ensure every day in Decentraland is captured for future generations to reflect on. What allows our community to contribute their valuable time to our Report is the incentives they earn for doing so. Over the course of the first year, every aspect of our Participate-to-Earn system was managed manually by KevinOnEarth999 to viewers and reporters; NFT/Crypto/Wearable Rewards. This grant we will create features to automate those processes. https://kevin-on-earth.gitbook.io/the-decentraland-report-or-a-p2e-news-channel/

Description

More members of our community have requested spots as Reporters, however with all the existing processes depending on manual execution by a single person it will be impossible to keep up with.

Our goal in this next stage is to Decentralize the Viewer/Reporter rewards system to remove the need for one person, KevinOnEarth999, to execute and manage the processes necessary to maintain The Decentraland Report. In this way, we will ensure the ongoing preservation of our history through The Decentraland Report, and via the $REPORT token and our DAO we will be able to continue to decide as a community what direction to take. The Decentraland Report belongs to the people of Decentraland. This next step is crucial to furthering that ownership so in theory, we can continue to watch history unfold in our report for generations to come.

It is for these reasons that the following features have been identified as “must haves” in order to ensure a trustless automated reward system for The Decentraland Report. More importantly, our approach to developing these features through our partnership with Xpang.GG, will also allow any other community in Decentraland to leverage the same FOR FREE! In other words, our mission here will not only serve our community at The Decentraland Report, but every other community as well.

Instead of creating a tool from scratch, we will add it as a feature to the Xpand.GG Community pages. The same way we solved the problem of counting score for NFTuesday, while also giving this feature to others, is how we aim to solve the problem of rewards distribution for communities. We can accomplish the above by building the following features listed in a detailed way in our Gitbook page: https://kevin-on-earth.gitbook.io/the-decentraland-report-or-a-p2e-news-channel/what-we-are-building-now/overview
