A very easy vote, Wilderness has engaged an audience and seems to have put out many new updates in a short period of time. As I get to know the team better, I feel confident that they can continue to bring high quality development to Decentraland. I’m glad they have also brought a chess game to DCL, as users have been asking for quite some time whether we had chess here or not. I’m looking forward to see what this team can do next :+1:

They are doing more then wilderness altough I agree money is much but I can assure you with wilderness dedication its in the hands of someone thats reliable and showed that he is putting the effort for every penny. Events, parties, updates, innovation, wearables, utilities, smart contract & crypto currency with a backed project behind it.
Not to mentioned when I found the API calls from p2e games in DCL to abuse that in postmand wilderness, dcl games and KOA where the only ones that tought this through which shows that there is alot that is also done in background.
even wondermine had flaws.

All I wonder is what is going to happen with my VIP pass @champ any news?

I’m inclined to agree with this sentiment.
What happened to the $240k? Did they have a large sum of mana and the price dropped?
I suppose I could go sleuthing to find out…

No, all grants are paid in DAI since a very long time.

I think before they mainly did the first grant for the development of wilderness only, now they have both the wilderness and the entire chess elo club, which mainly servers as a club/party house and you can do something while you are partieng. I honestly believe its a good way to use the treasury on this team because we already know how they operate and are certain about their credibility. I rather vote yes a 100x on this team then an entirely new project.

and grants were paid in DAI as HP said so that means its a stable price.

Today, we had our last Monthly Meeting with @champ from Wilderness P2E and $ELO Chess Club, and the project is on track and ready to exit. They showcased a live demo to review the progress of the last month, and we checked their GovApp Update and their Public Roadmap. We also discussed the possibility of remaining funds, and they mentioned that they might use them to cover the cost of servers in the future. A decision on this will be made at the end of the month.

We reminded them about the requirement to mention that this grant is funded by the DAO, and they assured us that they would do it this week. They also delivered the metrics, and we sent them the final End report.

We would love to hear how this grant contributed to your project and its impact on Decentraland. Additionally, we would appreciate any feedback on how to improve the Decentraland Grants Program in the future.

To complete the grant program, please follow these steps:

  1. Please complete the final report form to provide this information.

  2. You can also make a comment on the forum -on your proposal page- to notify the community that your project is complete and share any relevant links.

Please don’t forget to mention “Funded by Decentraland DAO” in your platform / in world content / website / promotion materials / etc (if you are a Social Media Content category grant, it is a requirement for the category). Let me know when this is ready

In this link you will find all the logos needed DAO LOGO - public - Google Drive

Please let us know if you need any help. Congratulations to Ryan and the team for finishing the grant. It was a pleasure working with you!
