Beneficiary address
0xd41308f50858Da2b7cc641e493fbddf34775393A
Description
Upon approval of the grant, we would be able to purchase a plot of land (1x1) to host community events and further integrate our community with the Decentraland metaverse. We have feature where users would be able to mint our NFTs from the scene in Decentraland, as well as link our wearables that are already approved. We have a parkour course that will be constantly updated and maintained for users to earn POAPs or wearables in the future. We want to connect with already established brands and grow the community through a positive environment.
Specification
The scene has already been built using the Decentraland builder and SDK. We use a program like Visual Code Studio to write the SDK and manage/maintain the script for the events. If the grant is approved, we will acquire the land via a purchase on OpenSea and begin deploying the scene. We have a banner for the Events page as well as a street team to work on promoting events and the scene. All we really need to get this going is the funding for the land.
Personnel
Ryan Guthrie - Co Creator of Smvsh Friends NFT and leading Decentraland Scene builder. Built the lounge as well as other 3D assets used to import onto the scene. Our metaverse architect.

Specimen XIII - Parkour course creator and enthusiast. Prior experience building in Decentraland for Bored Vibes. Part of the street team to promote events and bring community together.
Roadmap and milestones
Our project has already launched and we have already started growing our community substantially. We have quite a few members that are very into the metaverse side of web3 and spend quite some time in Decentraland as well as other virtual worlds like VRChat and The Sandbox.
Our goal is to acquire at least a 1x1 plot of land where we can house our Smvsh Friends lounge, showcase our NFTs, and host events for the community to enjoy and get to know some awesome positive and influential people in our network.
The lounge is already built, all we are waiting on is funding for the land. Originally we planned on buying land at 50% mint-out with our project, but with the way things are progressing, we wanted to acquire land as fast as possible.
