At the moment current thresholds are 1M VP for Grants for all grants. Recently [a proposal to expand the Community Grant Program 1 has been approved](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=c02ff450-2783-11ec-ac84-77607720a240), adding three new tiers that enable access to higher amounts of funding: - Tier 4: Up to $60.000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff). - Tier 5: Up to $120.000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff). - Tier 6: Up to $240.000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff). This proposal aims to set new VP thresholds for Tiers 4, 5, and 6 but also give time to the community to reach that goal. ### Motivation The VP thresholds are an important mechanism set in place with the purpose of: - Ensures that enacted proposals more accurately reflect the sentiment of the greater community. - Helps to prevent the DAO from funding underqualified, poorly-formulated, or fraudulent grants. ### Specification General considerations: - Past grants received between 1M and 2.3M VP each. - Maximum VP received in a proposal 11M VP. - Participation of VP may change over time. New thresholds for Tiers 4, 5 and 6: - 2M VP ⇒ Tier 4: Up to $60.000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff). - 4M VP ⇒ Tier 5: Up to $120.000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff). - 8M VP ⇒ Tier 6: Up to $240.000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff). **New votation period for Tiers 4, 5, and 6: Two weeks.** - Yes - No - Invalid question/options **[Vote on this proposal on the Decentraland DAO](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=ab1399e0-4278-11ec-be0c-afec86cba5e5)** **[View this proposal on Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/snapshot.dcl.eth/proposal/QmXke1YhGp6dtsF2FRtCTs6wfysi8zEzJdsVEgVBWKt7sF)** ---
