# Built with community input

Before launching, we shared an **[RFC](https://forum.decentraland.org/t/rfc-regenesis-grants-program-request-for-comments/25003)** to gather feedback from the community. Thanks to everyone who contributed, we’ve read your input closely and tried to reflect this in the first Season:

- **Strong focus on realistic delivery**  
→ We hear your concerns around platform limitations and are addressing them directly. The milestone-based structure keeps projects grounded from the start, with clear checkpoints to track progress and catch issues early. Proposals are also evaluated on feasibility, platform compatibility and scope realism

- **Review Model updated**  
→ Each submission is evaluated by purpose-built AI agents trained on Decentraland context, with final decisions made by the Regenesis Labs team

- **Clear expectations for proposals**  
→ We agree with the need to properly evaluate proposals, look closely at team capability and define what makes a project worth funding. The applicants will need to clearly state how they’ll realistically deliver within 90 days. Each proposal will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, taking its specific context and constraints into account

- **No DAO voting on individual grants**  
→ Decisions are made centrally, but the process remains transparent. After an initial triage, proposals are shared publicly and discussed in the forum where the community can follow and oversee

- **Already being built**  
 → Some ideas from the RFC go beyond the scope of this program and are already being developed in parallel (such as templates, asset packs or educational workshops)

- **Events are not a focus**  
→ While their value was raised in the RFC, events are already being supported by the Decentraland Foundation, so we’re not prioritizing them in this season

- **Post-delivery support**  
 → Projects that show strong results may be further supported or incubated by RGL
