Guest Post: DAO Committee Report #0018

This post was originally published on Decentraland

In the two weeks since the last DAO Committee report, three points of interest (POI) have been added to the Decentraland map, five grant proposals were approved, two names were banned, and two community polls have passed.

Notably, the DAO has voted to support a Tier 6 – $240,000 USD – Grant for WeMeta to build a custom analytics dashboard for Decentraland scenes. The tool will work through an in-world smart item and aims to help developers understand what drives player engagement. Additional grants include funding for creation of tutorial content for the Portuguese speaking community and amongst others, a grant to revitalize the Genesis City birds-eye view map of Decentraland.

On March 10, the DAO will be hosting its monthly town hall in the DAO’s dedicated discord server. Since the last town hall in February, the Decentraland wearables community interest group has been working to build initial consensus for a solution to the long-discussed issue of Layer 1 wearable VP. A Draft Proposal addressing this issue will be presented to the community during this session.
