Narrative Update: Building in a bear market sure is tough. After failing to secure additional funding or liquid grants, the Infinity Keys team reduced all compensation and reduced hours. Yet, the developers are still diligently working on the most salient feature for this grant and our future adoption. That feature is Create Your Own Puzzles aka Creator Tools. This will allow anyone to create their own puzzle with story, images/video, and a progressive series of hints and tasks with an end result of the player solving a puzzle via a passcode and minting an NFT from our 1155 contract on Optimism.

Gasless minting on Optimism was live for just under 1 year until the service provider building the account abstraction tools pivoted into a different project. We converted minting back to a paid gas model and NFTs remain free to mint minus gas.

We removed the Steam integration to streamline product development. It was not a critical path to success for this grant (and made the product suck tbh).

Once the Creator Tools are live, we are on track to build 20 puzzles featuring Optimism communities and achieve milestone #3.

Once the Creator Tools are live we are on track to source 125+ puzzles from community members.

As the grant writer and CEO, I do expect that we will achieve the main emphasis of this grant project, although it may take an additional month, we will certainly achieve the main critical milestones by May1st.

Thank you for attention to this grant proposal, the team has been working without pay for many months to build this engaging, small game maker with a ton of potential on Optimism.
