POI Management Optimizations: Unify POI lists and improve the operational aspect
Proposal Details
Description
This proposal aims to solve the existing complexity created by having two POI lists, [one centralized under the Decentraland Foundation](https://config.decentraland.org/explorer.json) and the other maintained by the DAO using an Aragon smart contract. The proposed solution encompasses: Deleting the Legacy POI list, and moving the DAO-maintained POI list from the Ethereum mainnet to Polygon and outside of the Aragon infrastructure in order to reduce the costs and enhance the experience of adding and removing POIs. Finally, the DAO core teams will encourage the community to create proposals under the Add POI category in the Decentraland DAO Governance dApp to add the POIs that are still considered relevant.

In for all of this, thanks for helping progress the DAO platform!
Gas is very low right now on Ethereum, so it's around $10 of gas fees. On Polygon, that would very likely be under 10 cents and not subject to the gas price mooning. It would also lead to faster POIs enactment as we would not have to wait a day anymore (imposed by Aragon)
I am bullish on this proposal.
I'm voting YES. Any step in the direction of further decentralization is a step in the right direction. Additionally, saving on operational costs will allow funds that are currently being utilized for maintaining the legacy list(s) to be utilized for more important things. I believe POIs should be relevant and active builds/experiences as well. Losing a few dated POI locations which are no longer active isn't necessarily a bad thing. As I understand, there is a small risk that important/historic POIs may be lost during the transition. Those Land owners could just reapply when they return to DCL and realize that they no longer have a POI if I'm not mistaken? Thanks Gino! Nice proposal.
I like this idea, we could explore it further. Regarding cost, way cheaper. Last time I checked the cost of enacting was around $75 USD but it varies a lot. Maybe @HPrivakos has an up-to-date cost reference. On a side note, I just realized I made a mistake on the proposal's title. It should read: **POI Management Optimizations: Unify POI lists and migrate to Polygon**
How much cheaper would updating POIs on polygon be? It would be cool if the top 100 or so POI's were generated from traffic data using Atlas Corps or dax's metrics website and updated monthly. It would give an interesting visualization of what the community actually finds interesting over time.
