Thank you for submitting this grant application! Throughout the application process, this forum thread will be one of the official means of communication. Please be sure to monitor it for updates over the course of the review period.
At this stage, applications are mainly being reviewed for completeness, and nothing at this stage should be construed as support or opposition by any members of the Grants Council.
Not strictly necessary, but is there a past or draft version of one of these that we could see as an example?
We recommend more specificity. For example, your benchmark milestones could be, “Launch a new quest every Monday and publicize it on communications channels X, Y, and Z” and/or “Publish metrics that include how many users attempted and completed a quest every X weeks.”
For your own benefit, this should be very specific and unambiguous, since critical milestones are what unlocks each successive tranche of funding for your grant plan. An example of a possible critical milestone for this grant plan could be, “Publish an update on this thread that details the quests initiated to date, how many users attempted each, how many successfully completed the quests, and how much of the grant was given out. This will occur no later than 6 weeks from receipt of OP tokens. If the grant plan needs adjustment based on learnings from the first 6 weeks, those will be communicated clearly in this update.”
Typically, we also recommend clearly stating that team wallets will be excluded from both rewards and any key metrics being measured.

Thank you, and GFX Labs or other Grants Council members will follow up here with any further questions throughout the process. Do not hesitate to ask questions here (tagging whichever Council Member a question is for, or @GrantsOps generally, will increase the speed of response).
