These updates were driven by our participation in Gitcoin Grants, which prompted us to reevaluate and enhance various aspects of the platform, particularly focusing on onboarding processes and implementing a whitelisting mechanism.\n\nBehind the seemingly simple pixel art canvases of ArtGridz lies a sophisticated system designed to maximize user engagement and incentivize participation. This includes:\n\n**Enhanced Onboarding Processes:** We have revamped our onboarding processes to ensure that new users can easily navigate and utilize the platform's features. The implementation of a whitelisting mechanism streamlines the user registration process, reducing friction and improving the overall user experience.\n\n**Automated Operations:** ArtGridz is now fully automated, guaranteeing seamless operation even in our absence. This automation ensures that users can interact with the platform smoothly and efficiently, without experiencing interruptions or delays.\n\n**Token Burns and Revenue Sharing:** ArtGridz incorporates token burn mechanisms and revenue sharing features, providing incentives for user engagement and contribution. These mechanisms contribute to the platform's tokenomics and promote a sustainable ecosystem for creators and collectors alike.\n\n**On-Chain NFT Market & CustomGridz :** Users can now create art directly on the blockchain and monetize their solo creations through ArtGridz's on-chain NFT market. By strictly adhering to blockchain technology, ArtGridz enhances censorship resistance and ensures the permanence of artworks for future generations.\n\n**The future of \"Decentraplace\"**\n\nDecentraplace has transitioned into a dApp development studio with a focus on maximum trustlessness and zero off-chain data usage. ArtGridz serves as the inaugural release of the studio and embodies our commitment to these core values. The previously planned ticker \"PLACE\" has been renamed to \"GRIDZ\" to align with the platform's evolution and values.\n\nThese updates represent our dedication to continuous improvement and our mission to promote freedom and innovation within the blockchain space. By refining our platform and prioritizing user-centric design and functionality, we aim to empower individuals to participate in the decentralized economy and shape the future of digital art and token engineering.\n\n\n**Recognition:**\n\nMedium Article by Mask Network:\n\nhttps://masknetwork.medium.com/web3-social-grant-round-5-review-fabd6c5ffb87\n", "hidden": false, "question": "If you've participated in past grant rounds, please share any new updates or milestones from the prior months (N/A if you haven\u2019t participated previously).

With over 200 beta testers, we meticulously shaped our user experience (UX) and user interface (UI), not only refining our on-chain stored Pixel Canvas but also developing a dynamic ecosystem around our token. Our ecosystem includes various pixelated DeFi games that incentivize continuous participation. Following the update to ArtGridz, our features and utility have significantly expanded.\n\nWe have successfully automated reward and growth mechanisms within ArtGridz, introducing APY-boosting \"DeFi-Gridz\" and the new \"CustomGridz\" subsystem. Users can now create art directly on the blockchain and monetize their creations on the world's first on-chain NFT market. ArtGridz strictly adheres to blockchain technology, enhancing censorship resistance and ensuring the permanence of artworks for future generations.\n\nOur gamification system, AccessPass, referral features, and proof-of-activity guide users through the platform, gradually introducing them to its features and incentivizing participation. Currently operating on the Base Sepolia Testnet, we have conducted cross-chain tests on various networks to ensure compatibility and performance, with Arbitrum emerging as a top-performing chain.\n\nDecentraplace has evolved into a dApp development studio dedicated to maximum trustlessness and zero off-chain data usage. ArtGridz exemplifies our commitment to these values, promoting freedom and preserving the ethos of blockchain technology.\n\nRecent updates from Decentr/Place to ArtGridz were implemented over the last two months, focusing on enhancing onboarding processes and implementing a whitelisting mechanism. Behind the seemingly simple pixel art canvases lies a sophisticated system of token burns, automated NFT artwork finalization & listing, and revenue sharing mechanisms. The project is fully automated, ensuring seamless operation even in our absence.\n\nWe previously participated as Decentraplace in #gg19 at Web3Social and Web3 Community & Education, gaining recognition from Mask Network.\n\n*Medium Article by Mask Network:*\nhttps://masknetwork.medium.com/web3-social-grant-round-5-review-fabd6c5ffb87\n\n*Grant Report Card Links:* https://linktr.ee/DecentraplaceQfGg19\n\nWe extend our gratitude to every \"Vonator\" (Voter+Donator) whose support has been instrumental in our success. Your continued support will enable us to build a vibrant community, collaborate with established Web3 agencies, and form partnerships with projects that share our core values.\n\nArtGridz is poised to revolutionize the NFT market, attracting new users to Web3 through intuitive interfaces and engaging experiences.
