@ckbubbles Thanks for the comment. Here is the answer: First, we are experts of blockchain and metaverse. We know the deep logic that running as the base of metaverse Decentraland. Second, we are not dedicated fans of Decentraland. We also study other metaverses. We look DCL as an object of study more than as a playground. Third, we are going to write an introduction book to explain the underlying logic of Metaverse. The publication will be guaranteed, but this guarantee is not for free. Last, we think Decentraland is a great case to show as an example of metaverse and had spent the last six month on it. To answer your question @Canessa , cutting means we are reducing the asked grant, not means we are reducing the cost of production. The grant can covers only partial of the total cost. The cutting is kind of bargain a cooperation, which is like decreasing your pay and increasing other's co-pay. The action of cutting is to get your support as much as we could, not means the action is unlimited. You are far not get nothing in the project like doing pure donation. And thanks to you @web3nit , we already brought our collaborators here since we had this plan and starting doing research on DCL, the co-authors, editors, people who will write comments on the book, etc. But comparing to the publication of the book, all other efforts are too too small and far inefficient. We will not make the third trial. Thank you for your time very much.

Hey! I do really love the idea of a scientific focused piece of literature about Decentraland, a lot. But I have some concerns on what makes DarkChain Technology, the expert to write such a book on Decentraland? Can you explain more about your experiences in and with Decentraland? How long have you been in world, and/or a part of the DAO? I think breadth of experience related to the platform would be needed to write such a book, and to do it properly. I look forward to your answers.

I'm voting no because at first I thought your math didn't add up, but now I realize you included your original budget, but you added a comment saying **All above budgets cut down to 1/3** Does this mean that the Operational cost is no longer $11,000? Is the publishing cost no longer $12,000? Are you receiving extra funds to offset the cost of this? Or were your costs always flexible like this to begin with? This just sets off some red flags to me. Here are the costs of the original proposal, now reduced by 1/3: Team compensation: $33,500 USD Operational cost: $11,000 USD Expert consultation and review fee: $2000 USD Publishing cost: 12000 USD Any business that can create the same product by cutting a grant from $60,000 to $19,000 but without transparency of what they've done to actually reduce the cost of production makes me think the original grant numbers were unnecessary.

I like idea of proposal, but you see that people don't support you enough to pass it. I agree with some community members that at first before grants, grantee must show his contribution/ activity to DCL such as interesting/useful events,wearables creation and etc. > We are a national certified high-technology cooperation based in Shenzhen, mainland China. We are specially working on blockchain and AI technology projects, such as metaverse related or web3 dAPPs. Maybe you cant start with something small like renting land, making some small pitch event about your idea also bringing here some Chinese members in this event. If I will see activity from you in DCL,I will support.
