Refine Grant Categories and percentage of budget (Stage B) This proposal is now in status: PASSED. Voting Results: * Yes 89% 6,128,734 VP (43 votes) * No 10% 698,828 VP (2 votes) * Abstain 1% 2,939 VP (2 votes)

I agree with @sango. beside that, If the price of MANA continues to rise, we could end up spending millions on the platform category, reaching a yearly budget of at least $6 millions which is not a bad thing, but I hope that *some of these grants* be under the supervision of the foundation @yemel to be aligned with their goals too. This way, the funds can contribute to their vision too as foundation. since It's necessary that we actively apply all these grants in the platform, ensuring they don't sit on the shelve.

[quote="dao, post:1, topic:21651"] Core Unit: 15% ($308,789.25) [/quote] Core unit being the same amount as in-world content is bullshit, we don't need 1.2M USD per year just to run the basics of the DAO.

Voting yes, I was in favor of the idea to stop most spending so we can focus on platform improvements therefore I would also support a higher allocation for this category.

The fairest and most precise way to allocate the available funds is that there are no categories, people would vote for the proposals according to their own criteria, making the proposals related to supposed categories (that would not exist) that have little interest would not be as financed like those that do offer better expectations. Frankly, I don't think it's necessary to have categories.

Voting yes, this budget is starting to look a lot better than before! Would still have liked to see an even larger % going to the platform, 5% cuts on the following three: core unit, in world and community experiences could give another 15% to the platform category. Once there is wide consensus that the platform is "ready" (mobile, vr, client, better performing browser, ability to handle large # of users without lag, more feature rich SDK for developers to build on, etc...) then we should start reducing the platform budget and increasing these other categories again.

Hi Landlord. The percentage allocated for the categories was defined [here](https://decentraland.org/governance/proposal/?id=bfab7b70-7b75-11ed-ad27-015f26e7c35c) and during the 2023 and Q1 2024 are the following: **Accelerator (7%)**: Q1 2024: $144,102 **Core Unit (15%)**: Q1 2024: $308,789 **Documentation (3%)**: Q1 2024: $61,758 **In world Content (20%)**: Q1 2024 $411,719 **Platform (40%)**: Q1 2024 $823,438 **Social Media Content (5%)**: Q1 2024 $102,930 **Sponsorship (10%)**: Q1 2024: $205,859

What are the percentage allocations for the platform and core unit in 2023?
