Should the following Tier 2: up to $3,000 USD in MANA, one-time payment grant in the Content Creator category be approved?

Abstract

DigiFun is a metaverse fashion brand. We are dedicated to bringing renowned designers and artists to Decentraland to produce the most fashionable wearables and architectures.

DigiFun have collaborated with designers such as Yaping Chen, KINGWEN, Morchen, etc. Dozens of outfits have been launched, many of which have won various fashion awards in Decentraland. Coordinate (18, -66) of DigiFun had the great honor of becoming a Point Of Interest.

Our next step will be to work with other artists to launch more wearables and contribute to the DCL community.

However, the cost of publication and modeling are limiting our productions, as the costs are hardly retrieved by sales revenue. Therefore, we are seeking support from the community.

Description

The grant will be used to cover the cost of modeling and publication fee. If our community approves funding within a month, we will use it to make the next ten sets of wearables and give them back to the community for free.

Currently, we are inviting artists to join Decentraland, including artists in DCL such as MichiTodd, CK bubbles, Maryana, etc. During the collaboration, the cost of modeling and publication fee will be covered by the grant.

The work you are doing adds such an element of class and sophistication to the wearables marketplace, and I am wowed every time I see a new design. I’d love for your financial burden to be lightened so that you can continue to onboard innovative artists and designers into Decentraland.

Your work goes beyond simply creating designs for clients though. In addition to becoming a catalyst for onboarding talented designers, you have become a part of the community by attending events and spaces as well as hosting your own.

You have my YES! And I wish you the best of luck with this very reasonable grant request. Keep up the good work Digifun!

Voted no. Do not see wearables creation and submissions fees as a good use of DAO Funds.

I see a few familiar names on the list of artist I love them all , but the title of this proposal suggests that you want to onboard new creators to the space so using funds to publish wearables made by creators that are already in the space kind of contradicts what you are proposing.

I personally would be more inclined to vote yes if the whole list consisted of new designers and creators.

In fact, many content creators are also facing the problem of funding, and it is difficult to continue to launch new wearables. Digifun hopes to solve these problems so that they can create more excellent works. As for new creators, we have already invited some to onboard such as Yaping Chen, Morchen, Kingwen and r.l.e, and we will also consider the approval of grants to decide whether to invite more creators, we have many on the list already, such as Tornado Song,Hahhhsis, Tao Wang, Joanna,CHENGCHENG,Ted Nildet and are looking for more to help them get onboard for free.

I just want to add this here for some background context. From the co-founder of Decentraland RE: grant funds being used to cover the publication costs of new wearables in June 2021:

estabanwearablesfee

MANA was trading at between $0.80-$1.00 during the month of June, and this was regarding a 500 MANA fee, so I’m not certain if Esteban has changed his stance on this. My point is at one time there was support for this type of grant request at the highest level. You can read more about the conversation here if interested:

I agree with the above sentiments, I don’t think it’s a fair use of DAO funds to pay wearable submission fees. I admire many of the names on the list above, but your title says “Introduce more designers into DCL” and a few of these names are already well established here. Instead of paying a one-time fee to create a wearable for outside designers, I’d feel more comfortable seeing some sort of comprehensive wearable curation process that helps them come to Decentraland, connect with the community, and want to stay and create more. :slight_smile:
