Linked Pre-Proposal

Starter (Beginner) Pack for 1st Time Users from our Talented Designers. Funded by DCL or Community.

Summary

Basically an incentive for all new users to try out Decentraland for the first time. This initiative could either be funded by Foundation or Community.

Abstract

I am thinking we can pick the top 5 wearable & emote creators to to design and mint high number NFT’s which will be dropped to new users wallets. If polygon matic L2 blockchain can be utilised for the airdrop we can save big $ on gas tx fees.

Mintage for the amount can be further discussed. Somewhere between 10,000-100,000 per NFT should be sufficient.

Motivation

Encourage new users to join by giving them something special and beyond what a guest user profile offers. Maybe this is their first time interacting or owning an nft. Idea is to get all new users familiar with the metaverse, nft & web3 context.

There should be a budget up to $50K USD. All of this will go towards our creators, also supporting them financially.

Specification

Basically an incentive for all new users to try out Decentraland for the first time. This initiative could either be funded by DCL or the Community.

All that’s required is for wearable and emote creators to design high mintage nft’s and automatically drop them into the first time users wallets.

Collection name could be something like Welcome Pack. Some of you may ask, why not let them purchase from marketplace asn many L2 wearables & skins are already quite affordable. The answer is this creates another obstacle for new users, especially if they hadn’t purchased Mana, eth, swaps etc…

I am happy to hear your feedback.

Conclusion

It has become harder to attract new users to the platform & this is all evident in the DAU/MAU numbers. We must know how to recapture their attention back. Bear market has been tough for everyone including myself. I find it difficult inviting new users to the platform and asking them to purchase skins, names etc… at least this simple initiative can get them started .

I vote NO because idea was taken from my old proposal, and 50k$ is too much. Do you have portfolio of your works? Your works have quality equal to Doki / Yannakis / DAPPCRAFT quality? If no - big NO from me.

3

What are you talking about. I am not a creator or designer. If you read it properly I said we should pick the top 5 wearable & emote creators and hire them. You are creating FUD and misconception.

4

Ah, sorry! I just worried because there are many similar proposals and their result was waste of money in the end. :sweat_smile:

5

Do you have the link to your old proposal?

Everything is a waste of money unless proven otherwise hence the reason we are here arguing :grinning:

6

This is confusing plus there isn’t an option for Invalid so I will vote No.

7

I can understand why you may be upset. Please feel free to vote as you like.

8

50k is excessive; in this bear market, funds should be allocated solely to platform upgrades.

9

Platform upgrades haven’t brought in new users. Maybe we meet halfway $25K

10

Rather than this proposal, I would be more willing to invest this money in a tender process where the capable ones win. I believe we need to tender for the areas we want to develop, such as resolving the graphic issues; for this, we are willing to offer higher support. Alternatively, we can plan a tender process for the development roadmap we have in mind.
