Hi @samuderakepri, thanks for your proposal. Are you intending to launch your project on RARI chain, or what is the relation to the DAO?

For a grant proposal, it lacks a bit of additional information for me, but I guess foundation always can support ecosystem projects with marketing support.

Thanks @samuderakepri for the info, happy to hear you want to launch on RARI chain!

As for grants, the budget is a bit tight. Also, the DAO has recently shut down the grants program due to a lack of success and quality applications, so unfortunately, we’re not in a good position to provide the necessary support for builders. I’d support the proposal if it stands out with a really good roadmap and existing previous work.

Maybe you can connect with @Sidney to share experiences about building on RARI chain.
Did you check with the foundation, whether they can support with marketing efforts? And feel free to come by to one of our community calls to introduce your idea.
