Hey everyone, Thanks @Tony for the message. According to these, we notify like a friendly reminder to the DAO Committee (@HPrivakos @Tobik ) that the vesting contract of this grant has to be revoked.

Hey everyone, A big thank you to all who voted 'yes' and offered up some solid feedback on our grant proposal. We're stoked that you, the community, decided it was a go. Your support means the world to us, especially when we're grappling with this tough crypto-winter. In our catch-up with GSS, we chatted about the worries you had around our grant falling into the wrong category. After some thought, our team and GSS figured the best move would be to pull back the current grant and swing it back out there, but this time, under the Accelerator category. We reckon this fits our goals better and deals with the feedback you've all given us. We're hoping to see the same love from you for our next proposal. Keep the feedback coming. We're all ears. Don't forget to check out our development updates in real-time: https://mrt.games/changelog/changelog.html. If you want to stay on top of what's happening, give us a follow on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/residence_meta) And for a real deep-dive into our work, check out our [Tower](https://play.decentraland.org/?position=121%2C-27) Thanks heap, everyone. You're the reason we keep pushing, the reason we aim to do better, and the reason we're still here, doing what we love. Catch you later, Tony

spend every last fn dime.


The "platform" grants requires you to open source all the stack impacted by the grant, not just a couple sub-projects. This grant requires you to open source Meta Residence Tower. The scene, the server, and to document everything.

Meta Residence Tower & Meta Residence Worlds This proposal has been ENACTED by a DAO Committee Member (0xbef99f5f55cf7cdb3a70998c57061b7e1386a9b0) Vesting Contract Address: 0x2ed4680F24147352742a0aa99B55da54bee309e5

Meta Residence Tower & Meta Residence Worlds This proposal is now in status: PASSED. Voting Results: * Yes 66% 7,910,627 VP (83 votes) * No 33% 4,040,878 VP (19 votes) * Abstain 1% 5,117 VP (5 votes)

[quote="Existential14, post:16, topic:19271"] I do not see how this can pass even with a yes majority [/quote] In theory, what would happen is: it passes, but the GSS would at some point, assuming your reasonable understanding of those rules is correct, would recommend the grant be revoked and then it would be up to the revocation committee to decide. At least, that is how I understand the process. Though perhaps anyone can summon the revocation committee if they try hard enough.

I would like to add to what @mattimus stated about outsourcing the code. I don't see that this is a you get to choose what you are making open source. It clearly states the following: **2- Platform** performance metrics: * Publish the source code and its derivatives developed under the budget provided by the DAO under an open-source license and in a public repository. * Commit to publishing documentation for the community to understand and contribute to the codebase. We cannot make exceptions here and there. If you are not able or willing to do as policy states then I do not see how this can pass even with a yes majority. It should be written in your proposal. Let's not waste the DAO and GSS time just to revoke the grant.

I do see the need for something like this in Decentraland. Great work finding needs for our community.

I love the idea of MRT and what it has been for ppl in the community, love seeing ppl set up their spaces and throwing parties and hangs. It has really helped ppl w out land to have a home and share it w others and I so so appreciate that. But learning that you also charge for many things besides the space itself, and are now asking for a large grant concerns me. And I will be voting no because of this. I do hope to continue to see the project grow and more users use the spaces, and wish you all luck as you continue to build.

[quote="HPrivakos, post:11, topic:19271"] Cool, but why not just copy the code already done? It should not be complicated as you already have a CMS and the code to buy something from the DCL Marketplace already exist [GitHub - decentraland-scenes/wearables-store](https://github.com/decentraland-scenes/wearables-store) [/quote] We are taking this approach for wearables but also plan to bring the possibility of selling any NFT, not just wearables. [quote="HPrivakos, post:11, topic:19271"] Cool about Worlds. Atlas Corp and [DCL.Guru](https://discord.gg/WPnyef7eU7) provides worlds with higher limits if needed. [/quote] Thanks. Yeah, I've already had a look at your service. We will undoubtedly contact you when we require it.

As i said, sorry for being rude. I really believe that you are respecting the community, it's just that i took it other way because of my personal opinion and it's still same beside your explanations, sorry but i already boycotted lots of Big Companies because of their mindset (as Ubisoft) so in my opinion i still can't agree with you. It's not only because i'm a "Small wallet" even if it for sure a point of what i can't go further. Even with reading all you are planning to add, what i see is that you will add more paid features again and again. As i said i bought a 160$ flat, if i want to place only 1 of each VITAL smart items that were the main reason why i bought a flat (Add music (15$), add 1 image (10$), 1 stream screen (30$!), Discord link (15$), twitter link (15$), website link (15$), Telegram (15$), 1 NFT (15$)) makes the actual total price at 340$ = 5 worlds. Again, for people who don't want to code maybe it's ok but i always prefered worked and learn things and already started learn sdk so again i can't imagine paying that much with the fact i can make all of this quickly in SDK for no cost... The only benefit i can actually have keeping the flat atm is to be on Genesis server but in my opinion it's not worth that price. Also i had a question for long and i think it's a good moment to ask it. Actually with the key, we own access to a part of the estate but for sure not the ownership of that part (correct me if i'm wrong). So i was wondering if one day, for any reasons (not enough suistainabilty, not enough active members, personal reasons or else) you have to stop the project and stop all costs about it. Will we always be able to go to the flat? What garentee tha land could be sold in the future then the build removed? If the build is changed, will we always have like an access for nexts build or will we be owner of a key that is no more usable? I really appreciate your proposal to buyback the flat, thank you it's definitely a nice move in my opinion and i'll consider about it shortly.

[quote="Tony, post:10, topic:19271"] We are working on that solution right now. [/quote] Cool, but why not just copy the code already done?

HI @HPrivakos! I appreciate your feedback. [quote="HPrivakos, post:7, topic:19271"] I really don’t see anything innovative about the Worlds part. Are you deploying your own worlds server? It literally takes 10 minutes to do and doesn’t require thousands of USDs [/quote] No, we're not talking here about our own world server. That's not really the challenge. The challenge is bringing all the functionality from the Tower to independent WORLDS right out of the box. This includes features such as lazy loadings (which differ across layouts), an interior editor (which also has to be modified due to varying space sizes), smart items and user interaction, access controls, and so on. Almost all things on the frontend should be modified, and some parts should be customized for each layout. We aim to create a user-friendly solution that can be easily purchased and deployed to a user's world (on the official world content server or private one) without any required technical knowledge. There is also the challenge of creating trimmed-down versions of our solution that can fit under 25MB & 100MB file size limits. Since we plan to introduce various layouts from Villa to Castle, we also need to create diverse furniture pieces to match these settings. There's also much more behind-the-scenes work involved. And while all this is happening, we're still continuously adding new features to MRT and developing it. There's a lot of work ahead of us [quote="HPrivakos, post:7, topic:19271"] That already exist, doesn’t require any dev time. [/quote] I'm not sure what you're referring to, but our project doesn't have the ability for the owner to sell any NFTs or Wearables from the spaces. We are working on that solution right now.

Hi @mattimus. Under this grant proposal, we plan to open source two robust and complex projects (8MetaBalls, 8MetaPawns), each with scene and server code under the APACHE 2.0 license. We believe this will significantly contribute to the pool of complex scene examples and undoubtedly become one of the largest contributions to open-source scenes. These two projects encompass the following aspects: Complex interactions between scenes and the Colyseus server (multiple rooms, interactions between them, reconnections, etc), database operations, access to different features, NFT interaction, a shopping system, a complex User Interface, physics (including multiplayer interactions), wearables, interaction with smart contracts, a dashboard and rating system, an achievements system, real-time multiplayer functionality via a server, integration with external libraries, and many more use-cases.

Hi @Lyzbeth666. First,I want to thank you for your feedback and express my apologies that you feel negatively about the project. Let me address each of your concerns step by step. [quote="Lyzbeth666, post:5, topic:19271"] i had some deception for MRT about the paid features. I know that to be suistainable, the project have to propose paid option to maintain the project and it’s not a problem. But what gave me a cold breath is about some BASICS features that are paid… I’m thinking first about social links that is, in my opinion, a BASIC feature that should be available to anyone [/quote] The basic features come with a complete flat that includes furniture, wallpaper, ceilings, and floors, accounting for more than 700 units, all completely free. In addition, there are several basic access modes, such as the Public Mode and Pin-code mode that are also free of charge. These modes allow the owner to invite guests into the apartment. We have also included a free music player(boombox) and a custom painting feature for initial users. It starts from $69. There are also several ways to acquire smart items for free, such as participating in contests, lotteries, and giveaways. The oversight on our part is that we didn't emphasize enough about this in our FAQ section, tutorials, website, and shop. This is mostly due to the fact that a month ago, there were only a few smart items, but now there are more than 35 smart items and upgrades. Here are the actions we will be taking: * We will add a detailed description to all areas where a user can purchase a flat. * We will add a section on our website and a description in the Tower Info tab, providing information about free and payable features." [quote="Lyzbeth666, post:5, topic:19271"] The MRT coins only (atm) allow to buy non-utility furnitures (so in my opinion these coins are useless in a way because they bring absolutely NO-UTILITY except decorations). [/quote] Regarding M-Bucks, your understanding isn't entirely accurate. All basic "non-utility" furniture, which amounts to about 700 units, is absolutely free for users. Currently, the game currency is used for the lottery https://twitter.com/residence_meta/status/1659018462851735553 and we plan on utilizing it for future activities. Additionally, we have plans to introduce a wearable collection that can be purchased with M-Bucks. [quote="Lyzbeth666, post:5, topic:19271"] Then leave basics decoration purchasable with MRT (to let people have some options to have a home sweet home) AND then add other furnitures (like VIP decorations) purchasable in Mana to bring suistainabilty to the project. [/quote] This is exactly our approach. Moreover, you don't even need to purchase the basic furniture with MRT coins; it's entirely free. We've also added smart items that can be bought with Mana, ensuring sustainability. [quote="Lyzbeth666, post:5, topic:19271"] Actually if you bought a flat and don’t want to pay 180$ to add basics features then you paid between 150-200$ to have a spot with no utility. GREAT! [/quote] I am truly sorry to hear about your disappointment. If you were unaware of the conditions, I would personally like to offer you the option of a flat buyback. Alternatively, we could discuss in Discord how best to resolve this situation. Feel free to open a ticket. Me and @INVOKER will assist you. Rest assured, we have the utmost respect for our community. We're simply trying to provide a new user experience that has never been offered before, all while ensuring sustainability.

I really don't see anything innovative about the Worlds part. Are you deploying your own worlds server? It literally takes 10 minutes to do and doesn't require thousands of USDs [quote="dao, post:1, topic:19271"] * Developing the ability to sell NFT and Wearables from the apartments. [/quote] That already exist, doesn't require any dev time. It's crazy that people are voting yes to this budget. If you are getting 12k per month, then you might not need external funding to optimize your 3d assets or create a tutorial.

Please be aware that posting this in the Platform category requires you to publish all of the source code with Apache 2.0 licensing. This may be better in the Accelerator category.

I will actually vote No (unfortunately) because i had some deception for MRT about the paid features. I know that to be suistainable, the project have to propose paid option to maintain the project and it's not a problem. But what gave me a cold breath is about some BASICS features that are paid... I'm thinking first about social links that is, in my opinion, a BASIC feature that should be available to anyone and that is also in the interest of MRT to be available for the more users as possible because it helps users bring visibilty on theirself AND on MRT. Also this is a feature that takes only like 5 seconds to be added in SDK so you can believe me when i said i was disapointed by this. The MRT coins only (atm) allow to buy non-utility furnitures (so in my opinion these coins are useless in a way because they bring absolutely NO-UTILITY except decorations). The only feeling i had seeing this is that once we paid to have a spot, then we have to pay to show discord, pay to show twitter, pay to show 1 nft, pay to show, pay to show and again... At then end, better learn to use SDK... Again i'm not complaining about paid features because as i said the project have to be suistainable but requesting a 100k grant beside the fact that EVERYTHING already cost to users, it's a bit much. Actually if someone want to add basic smart items : Add music (15$), add 1 image (10$), 1 stream screen (30$!), Discord link (15$), twitter link (15$), website link (15$), Telegram (15$), 1 NFT (15$)... (And if you want to add 5 images + 3 Nft = 95$!!!! for exemple so it can quickly cost A LOT) These features should be a basic as i said when you know that you already paid between 150-200$ a flat. Because with only buying features mentioned above (15+10+30+15+15+15+15+15 = 185$) it's as expensive than buy a flat so around 300-350$ to have a spot with vital features (if u only use 1 of each features)... Maybe for someone that really won't use SDK it's ok but definitely not in my opinion. I think that it's not respectable for the users who already invested in your project...It's like buying a game then see that there is no quest, no NPC, etc. Nothing except that the game have good graphics and then said users that they have to purchase a dlc to have quests and else... Sounds like a Ubisoft mindset... Sorry. What i think sould be respectable for users AND bring suistainability to the project is that basics feature should be purchasable in MRT coins (and why not also in Mana, that let the user choose how he want to get the feature and keep suistainability) --> exemple : Discord link = 500MRT or 15$, smart screen = 1000MRT or 30$ etc. Then leave basics decoration purchasable with MRT (to let people have some options to have a home sweet home) AND then add other furnitures (like VIP decorations) purchasable in Mana to bring suistainabilty to the project. THIS IS JUST AN EXEMPLE. Also this will push users to stay more on MRT because with that kind of system, users will have a REAL UTILITY to spend time here. Actually if you bought a flat and don't want to pay 180$ to add basics features then you paid between 150-200$ to have a spot with no utility. GREAT! Sorry if i'm not explaining myself well (english is not my main language) and sorry if i'm being quite rude against you (it's not what i wanted) but i really took your economic system as disrespect and i'm actually kind of sad to have bought a flat till i saw all of that. So requesting a 100k grant without respecting community (in my opinion) is not possible... I'll reconsider my vote (even if i think you don't care about 215VP) if you reconsider the way you are acting with the community.

Amazing project! Amazing technology! Last but not least, amazing team! Keep it up!🔥🔥🔥

easy Yes from me. I said this a while ago and I will say it again. The two plays that will be the future of Decentraland are Gaming or this. My gaming proposal got voted down by a whale so I would like to at least see this go through and thrive. You can look at the success of Sims, Seconds Life, or Animal Crossing but more modernly can look at the success of PKXD. Fingers crossed.
