Project Abstract

Please replace these instructions with a brief description of your project summarising key points (1-2 paragraphs).

If your application is a follow-up to a previous grant, please mention which one in the first line of the abstract and include a link to previous pull requests if applicable.

Grant level

  • Level 1: Up to $10,000, 2 approvals
  • Level 2: Up to $30,000, 3 approvals
  • Level 3: Unlimited, 5 approvals (for >$100k: Web3 Foundation Council approval)

Application Checklist

  • The application template has been copied and aptly renamed (project_name.md).
  • I have read the application guidelines.
  • Payment details have been provided (Polkadot AssetHub (USDC & DOT) address in the application and bank details via email, if applicable).
  • I understand that an agreed upon percentage of each milestone will be paid in vested DOT, to the Polkadot address listed in the application.
  • I am aware that, in order to receive a grant, I (and the entity I represent) have to successfully complete a KYC/KYB check.
  • The software delivered for this grant will be released under an open-source license specified in the application.
  • The initial PR contains only one commit (squash and force-push if needed).
  • The grant will only be announced once the first milestone has been accepted (see the announcement guidelines).
  • I prefer the discussion of this application to take place in a private Element/Matrix channel. My username is: @_______:matrix.org (change the homeserver if you use a different one)

Hi @imboogieman thanks for the application. Could you please rename the file with a .md extension so it is easier to read? Thanks.

1. Added .md extension to the file name for better readability 
2. Updated the naming for better alignment with the project goals.
- the process of searching for, finding, and applying for the right crypto funding option is cumbersome and time-consuming for both applicants and reviewers.
- Applicants struggle with identifying suitable grants and preparing high-quality applications,
- while reviewers face the challenge of managing numerous submissions.
- To our research about 85% of proposals get rejections either because of irrelevance, poor quality, however reviewer's lack of domain competence and even nepotism among foundations members are among the most common reasons as well.

This seems to be left over from a previous application, as Polkadot doesn't use these RPCs...

We only fund technical development, so we likely wouldn't fund some of these initial website setup deliverables. Additionally, we ask for some initial mockups/wireframes to be provided in the application for the front-end parts.
