This proposal aims to receive a grant from our community treasury to fund HALF of the backend development of our wager-based gaming ecosystem within Decentraland. The funding would provide the budgets needed to pay our development team at Atlas Corp and continue revolutionizing and supporting the first on-chain crypto games ever built in the metaverse.
We need to achieve several goals as a community to get to the place we all know we need to be. With their extensive solidity, web3, and hands-on Decentraland experience, Atlas Corp has proven they are the right developers for the job.
CATEGORY Game Development
GRANT AMOUNT HALF OF SPRINTS = $6,283.50 in ETH every two weeks $12,567.00 in ETH/Sprint Sprint = 2 weeks Metaskins pays half ($6,283.50 in ETH every two weeks ) For Development Sprint Fees
PROPOSAL We propose that we allot $6,283.50 in ETH every two weeks to support the sprints for the buildout of our gaming ecosystem within Decentraland and the systems in place around it to pursue seamless functionality and reporting around the games and ecosystem.
A “sprint” consists of goals to work through by the development team. It is a commitment to the part of the roadmap listed for the two week timeline. It is an array of goals/work that is expected to be finalized during the “sprint’s” timeline which in this case is two weeks.
The Atlas Corp team began their journey with The Holy Ones community from the start by believing in our dreams to facilitate wager-based gaming within Decentraland. Their first project with us was enabling the minting of The Holy Ones NFTs. Atlas created the smart minting contracts, the mint site, its analytics, and the handling of metadata of the NFTs 3d assets. Atlas made it all come to life functionally and securely.
Atlas' next project was ManaMania. In developing the infrastructure to support this game in Decentraland, Atlas innovatively utilizes Decentraland's meta-transaction server. It facilitates the Ethereum blockchain's ability to validate tokens from Polygon, while being logged into Decentraland on Ethereum. This application is a revolutionary feat never done before in any open-source metaverse environment.
Utilizing the transaction server to launch ManaMania has provided The Holy Ones with a solid piece of metaverse infrastructure. It enables us to host the various other games developed for Decentraland, including Holy War and Holy Blackjack, which are the next two to be wrapped into the facilitation of this ecosystem.
Besides building the back-end and metaverse infrastructure to facilitate The Holy Gaming Ecosystem, Atlas is building other tools that will support the maintenance and promotion of the ecosystem and community.
The Staking DApp will allow community members to opt into the commercial IP staking program. This development opens up the ability to collect royalties from the games released from the holy ones gaming ecosystem to distribute as royalties to members.
The Live Gaming Dashboard will show essential statistics such as the revenue created by each game and a real-time portrayal of the funneling of funds to the Holy Royalties and Holy DAO wallets from the various game revenue streams.
Live Scene Reporting and Analytics will allow us to understand who is playing, what they are playing, and where. This information is vital for developing our relationship with the players, rewarding loaylty, and knowing where and how to invest in future games and features.
We propose that we allot $6,283.50 in ETH from the treasury to fund these necessary sprints to ensure a capable and trustworthy team builds our gaming ecosystem. As I have mentioned previously in this proposal, we are building something revolutionary that HAS NEVER been built before. Atlas is a team of problem solvers with extensive experience in building blockchain products and years of development experience in Decentraland. They are the ideal partners for the mission at hand. Atlas Corp will incorporate the information being worked on for each sprint to ensure complete transparency that allows the community to track what is being worked on at all times, prioritizing building the games and then the systems around them to support them in the necessary fashions.
There have been a total of 4 sprints will be retroactively accounted for from the development progress we have made up to now.

Why Atlas Corp. ?
There are many reasons we have picked Atlas Corp. to carry along the backend development side of The Holy Ones missions. As previously mentioned, the team at Atlas Corp has extensive experience with both Decentraland and building out functional systems to allow for new creations within the blockchain. Over the last ten years, Atlas Corp has dedicated their time and effort to creating innovative blockchain solutions built securely on several layers connecting Ethereum, Polygon, and Chainlink.
The Atlas Corporation is a leading-edge, metaverse innovation team. Operating out of The LAB in Miami, FL (and -54,-83 in Decentraland), Atlas Corp provides web3 development services to metaverse natives and legacy institutions alike. Atlas’ involvement can be seen across various recent projects and spans many use cases. These cases include metaverse scene construction, NFT sales, DAO contracting, Solidity protocol design and deployment, web3 dApps and website integration, and blockchain-based gaming. The team was brought in to audit the Decentral Games ecosystem and have learned the most effective ways to bring in a new and improved system within the metaverse of Decentraland.
SERVICE
Holy Ones X Atlas Corp
Future Development Plans: *Blackjack Development
Atlas Corp. Has already developed the full functionality for ManaMania, and are now working on the next projects on the roadmap, as well as the staking DApp, and Dao DApp.
ENGAGEMENT PROJECTION & HISTORY
The projection is to keep the sprints going over the next 20 week period, which will include 10 full sprints, in the hopes of completing various new games. (120k) (Today 63.3ETH)
We are now going into our 4th sprint with Atlas Corp. and have paid 14.4ETH to date from the founders pockets. We felt we needed to understand the type of partnership and workflow we would feel comfortable with to move forward as a long term partner, and now feel very comfortable building the future alongside the team from Atlas Corp. We have gotten to a point where we have understood the functionality limits of DCL and dug up the right recipe for creating a great metaverse gaming experience. The first game ManaMania is a testament to that, a completely on-chain provably fair metaverse lottery game, which leverages Chainlink to pull a random wallet of a winner with each game progression. We not plan to build out the next two games, Holy War and Holy Blackjack, continuing to pioneer a path that has not been done prior to this.
ROADMAP & TIMELINE To continue with our sprints over the next 20 weeks to have our gaming ecosystem inside DCL live and working seamlessly.
Starting with Holy War and Blackjack Scenes → Then pushing to development of new games under the oracle contract we are currently building out.
STRUGGLES AND HARDSHIPS The struggles and hardships of this grant will come from navigating unpathed territory. What we are in the midst of building is revolutionary and unique, it has no framework, no reference and no shortcuts to aid the process. We are figuring this out from scratch in order to build the future of metaverse transparent wager based games. This means that we must leave room for figuring out the process on the quest to build the ideal system for metaverse gaming. The process might be tough, with potential unexpected speed bumps on the way but we are confident that we have selected the right team for the job to navigate the tasks in front of us.
