DigifunDAO：Introduce more designers into DCL This proposal is now in status: REJECTED. Voting Results: * Yes 7% 180,502 VP (28 votes) * No 93% 2,334,552 VP (31 votes)

I agree with the above sentiments, I don't think it's a fair use of DAO funds to pay wearable submission fees. I admire many of the names on the list above, but your title says "*Introduce* more designers into DCL" and a few of these names are already well established here. Instead of paying a one-time fee to create a wearable for outside designers, I'd feel more comfortable seeing some sort of comprehensive wearable curation process that helps them come to Decentraland, connect with the community, and want to stay and create more. :)

I just want to add this here for some background context. From the co-founder of Decentraland RE: grant funds being used to cover the publication costs of new wearables in June 2021:  MANA was trading at between $0.80-$1.00 during the month of June, and this was regarding a 500 MANA fee, so I'm not certain if Esteban has changed his stance on this. My point is at one time there was support for this type of grant request at the highest level.

Thank you so much for your support ! :heart: :heart: :heart:

In fact, many content creators are also facing the problem of funding, and it is difficult to continue to launch new wearables. Digifun hopes to solve these problems so that they can create more excellent works. As for new creators, we have already invited some to onboard such as Yaping Chen, Morchen, Kingwen and r.l.e, and we will also consider the approval of grants to decide whether to invite more creators, we have many on the list already, such as Tornado Song,Hahhhsis, Tao Wang, Joanna,CHENGCHENG,Ted Nildet and are looking for more to help them get onboard for free.

It would be nice if these fees were paid to the creator~

I love your work Digifun, i agree with... [quote="SinfulMeatStick, post:3, topic:15040"] Do not see wearables creation and submissions fees as a good use of DAO Funds. [/quote] From Sinful above, voting no for now.

Voted no. Do not see wearables creation and submissions fees as a good use of DAO Funds. I see a few familiar names on the list of artist I love them all , but the title of this proposal suggests that you want to onboard new creators to the space so using funds to publish wearables made by creators that are already in the space kind of contradicts what you are proposing. I personally would be more inclined to vote yes if the whole list consisted of new designers and creators.

The work you are doing adds such an element of class and sophistication to the wearables marketplace, and I am wowed every time I see a new design. I'd love for your financial burden to be lightened so that you can continue to onboard innovative artists and designers into Decentraland. Your work goes beyond simply creating designs for clients though. In addition to becoming a catalyst for onboarding talented designers, you have become a part of the community by attending events and spaces as well as hosting your own. You have my YES! And I wish you the best of luck with this very reasonable grant request. Keep up the good work Digifun!
