Hey there everyone, I recently created a twitter poll with a modest in number, yet strong indication of support on developing a gaming and metaverse fund in the Dotsama ecosystem. I thought it wise to start a conversation on how this may look and how the community can collectively support something like this responsibly and diligently. However, I've run into a few sticking points when discussing this with other community members.
I think this would benefit the ecosystem no matter what and I envision the fund helping projects that are not necessarily native to one chain such as RMRK. Many individual parachains have avenues for funding, and some have also shown concern for double dipping. I also understand that endorsing one project is not in the best interest of the general ecosystem, but if there was an application process or community vote, this would eliminate the idea of favoritism/selection of certain projects.
In the end, I think announcing a fund like this can help grow the ecosystem in more than just gaming and metaverse type plays. There are many who have chosen to grow the Dotsama ecosystem who have seen the vision from the beginning, but this will only encourage more growth and bring more attention to the ecosystem. This is just the start of a discussion. I know there are many community members who have their own opinions, thoughts and suggestions on the matter, and I hope we can work together to put treasury funds to good use!
