Description

In february 2022, our community approved a Decentraland DAO [grant](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=b8219300-900f-11ec-9794-c9ea21a9ed8f) that enabled us to create, update and make freely available to the community a [top-down view map of genesis city](https://genesis.city/). You can read the grant proposal [here](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=b8219300-900f-11ec-9794-c9ea21a9ed8f). Back then, a prototype version existed, but the mapping script was buggy, the map hadn’t been updated in a while, and the site was very basic and not very performant. Since getting the first grant, we’ve updated the map monthly. We’ve also worked on improving the mapping script in order to reduce the human interventions needed to complete a full map and we’ve greatly reduced the time needed for the script to run. We’re now confident we can provide weekly (instead of monthly) updates. We’ve also added a “Jump in” button that allows the user to jump into the scene at the right-clicked coordinates. We received a great deal of feedback and requests to develop new features. This grant will set up a budget, including salaries and expenses (web hosting, image storage, and domain name renewal, for now), to run this team for the next 6 months of developments and updates. Further grants will be requested by us in the future if the community continues to be happy with our work.

I love it but sincerly don't think at it as a useful thing if not implemented on decentraland... and dosn't look affortable for the dao to mantain somthing indipendent on long term run. Another thing is that you were talking on your roadmap about a equal / smaller grant. Your words : > A fully working and updated version of the map will be live by t+31 days. The map’s content will be updated via script every month for 3 months. Once that time has elapsed we will request another similar or smaller grant in order to provide further maintenance and updates.

[quote="ginoct, post:2, topic:12391"] Are there any plans for this Grant period to enable core development teams to embed it somehow into the main Decentraland experience? I believe it could be a huge improvement to the minimap feature. [/quote] Not really. We really like being independent. If the Foundation eventually wants to integrate the map into the client, we'd be happy to help. [quote="ginoct, post:2, topic:12391"] Are there plans to promote this project a bit more? Social Media, Decentraland influencers, or something like that? [/quote] We didn't think about that, but we'll do. Thanks!

I really like this project and I like the cadence of updates and improvements. I believe this could be very beneficial for Decentraland (in-world) users. I have two questions: - Are there any plans for this Grant period to enable core development teams to embed it somehow into the main Decentraland experience? I believe it could be a huge improvement to the minimap feature. -Are there plans to promote this project a bit more? Social Media, Decentraland influencers, or something like that? Thanks!
