SIP 004 -100 Proposal for Enhancements and Operational funding

Introduction With the Market place development at a critical stage and test net development imminent it is imperative we ensure that we maintain the focus. The governance council has done a review of progress against the MVP budget. This has identified areas that will benefit the Market place and its initial stage launch.

Review and Recommendations As mentioned in the introduction, a review has been conducted of the Team's progress towards the implementation of the MVP marketplace. A budget review has identified that the budget was indeed very lean. Although on track, it does not allow for desired enhancements and commissioning management period at launch and operation cost for 12 months from launch. We will address these recommendations separately below:

Enhancements During the passage of time and development interactions, the development team has highlighted some enhancements to the MVP that will benefit the Market Place by differentiating it from competitors.

-Referral Links structure -Integration of POAP to user profiles -JSON based collections

• Collection Trait filtering
• Expansion of the Multichain support to 3

The above enhancements are variations to the MVP scope of work and will require additional funding via this Treasury application . (TAP)

In addition to the enhancements the Governance council have identified that due to the lean budget, not enough support labor has been provisioned for launch. As a risk mitigation. The launching of the MarketPlace could potentially encounter new platform operation issues. These are encountered in all commissioning phases of software platforms. We recommend The Market Place to have an intensive maintenance period in the first 4 weeks of operation. In addition to the Risk mitigation as review of potential operations variable cost has been done. These include the bandwidth variable costs of servers, error logging etc . We identified that the operational runway will need funding beyond initial launch. We recommend that the full 12 months of IT services should be budgeted and has been included in this TAP.

The amount required to cover the items in this TAP is $174,961 USD
