Treasure Chain is an art network where users can assign rules about how their NFTs can interact with each other. With these rule templates the NFTs can act like a giant neural network of art.

Problem:

Treasure Chain user interface

A simple game engine for users to turn their creations into an NFT game. A platform for creators and collectors to build worlds together.

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Crypto needs timeless blockchain games that appeal to more than just crypto

insiders. The handful of blockchain games that have achieved some cultural relevance have only

had brief bursts of popularity, and still only remained known to those in tune with the crypto space.

They are ultimately shallow games with limited gameplay, usually just showing one

particular use case of NFTs and smart contracts. We need a game that is so engaging that users are

willing to adopt crypto just so they are able to be a part of the cultural event happening around it. The

fear of missing out must transcend the crypto space to everyday gamers and artists. But for this to

happen the game must be adaptable, customizable, and collaborative.

NFTs have had success as three things: collectibles, video game assets, and unique pieces of fine art.

Digital artists are now able to sell their works for prices that allow them to do it full-time, instead of

being forced to work for clients or advertisers to make a livable wage.

Treasure Chain is a different kind of game that combines these three things. It is an NFT Art network

where users keep NFT artworks called Tiles in a Deck, and can arrange them on a Map however they

like. When minting an NFT using the platform, users can assign rules (called Linkages) about where

it can sit on the map, what art can be contained within other art, and what art it can combine with to

form new art. These Linkages are modular and can be combined in different ways. They can form a

sort of neural network of art where artists can create games and collaborative worlds together. All

transactions are done in crypto so users can profit from their creations and contributions. It is part

game engine, part social media platform. Instead of relying on one specific art style for a game to

receive mass adoption, since all artwork is user-created, players can collect and interact with only

artwork they enjoy.

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

I believe a game like this will draw much more attention and adoption to Cardano. If it is the only blockchain with a platform like this, many artists and NFT enthusiasts will migrate to Cardano.

The innovation of Treasure Chain is its adaptability and range of use cases. It is unlike any current NFT platforms or social media sites. We believe it can be an epicenter of the Cardano NFT ecosystem, it is like a lobby that can link many different projects together. It provides a space for exploration, where disparate projects and games can start to collaborate in interesting ways. It will bring lots of fun and excitement to Cardano.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

The success of the project's development will be determined by meeting milestones posted publicly on our Notion page. The community can see for themselves if we have completed our stated goals in a timely manner.

Once the project is launched there are many metrics that can be used to measure success. Firstly, the number of users and the growth rate of new users will be the main ones to look at. If we can see that a substantial portion of Cardano's unique active wallets has engaged with Treasure Chain, we can tell how much of an impact it has on the Cardano ecosystem. These metrics will be compared to similar NFT marketplaces on Cardano and similar platforms on other blockchains.

Metrics from both the testnet and mainnet ledger will be publicly available for auditing. The key metrics we will look at are:

  • The number of unique active wallets that connect to the platform.

  • Number of daily transactions.

  • Transaction volume.

  • Total platform revenue.

  • Total revenue gained by users, as well as a ranking of users profiting on the platform.

  • The number of existing NFT projects that post their content on TC.

  • Weekly social media posts related to TC on Twitter, Instagram, etc.

    [IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

The updates of the results of our work will be posted on the Treasure Chain social media channels such as Twitter and Instagram. We will reach out to community platforms to help broadcast our latest progress. We will prepare data collected from the ledger in a clear format to present to the community.

We will constantly communicate with the Catalyst committee and IOG about the progress of the project.

The project's Notion and Github page can also be viewed to see progress.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

Treasure Chain already has a working prototype, more than many projects can demonstrate. We have shown in our work up until now that we can take the project from an idea to a working product. Since creating the prototype we have also connected with several skilled Cardano blockchain developers that want to help bring this idea to its full potential. These developers have also created products that are already proving useful to the Cardano community.

We are partnering with GameChanger wallet team who has already accomplished a lot in the Cardano ecosystem. GameChanger Wallet has been online in Cardano since 2021 Q2 using personal funds and receiving support from the community and from Dandelion API infrastructure, who are today their closest partners. They have also been very active in helping with the Gimbal Labs courses to help teach Cardano development to newcomers.

The project is quite ambitious and we anticipate challenges and roadblocks. We will have many lines of communication open for the community to give feedback and inquire about our progress. If any issues are raised about improper use of funds, we encourage communication on how we ensure they are used properly.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

The first goal upon funding is smart contract integration with the prototype. Once this is working we will release a beta to begin user testing.

During this stage, there are a few main goals. We hope to get a small number of consistent users starting out to give feedback on their user experience. We want this experience to be both intuitive and fun. There will be unforeseen elements of the user experience we can only gain from having some beta testers. Once we are confident the product is working how it was intended, it will be opened up to more users.

Upon official launch, we hope to gain enough daily active users on par with the most popular Cardano NFT marketplaces within 6 months. We believe that because this platform is far more dynamic than any NFT game or NFT marketplace, it should exceed daily active users of all existing projects within a year of launch. This is quite ambitious, but considering Treasure Chain intends to provide the utility of both a game, an NFT marketplace, and a social media site, it should warrant more users than any of these platforms with one function.

Metrics for daily active users, registered unique wallets, transaction volume, and total revenue will be made public.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

We are asking for 3 Months of funding which will take us to the end of the year.

2023 Q4 - Begin smart contract integration with the Godot game engine prototype, as well as Multi-user game server integration.

Milestone 1 - Entity set up. Team roles and specific tasks will be delegated and a regularly scheduled workflow will be established. Administrative work to make sure that all the team's contract and payment is set up.

Milestone 2 - The first goal for blockchain integration into the Godot prototype is to allow the simple minting of an NFT on the platform. The NFT should contain the uploaded image and its basic stats in the metadata. This will be done by connecting to GameChanger Wallet.

Milestone 3 - Research and implement how to translate the game mechanics to blockchain interactions. The 'Linkages' info of a tile in TC should be contained in its metadata.

Milestone 4 (Final Acceptance Milestone) - Multi-user set up. Currently, TC is a single-player game running on the browser. After blockchain integration, multi-user gameplay will need to be set up to test how well it works. We already know how to set up multi-user on Godot, but it may need to work differently to work with a blockchain. Lots of research will need to go into this milestone. At this point, we intend to open-source some of our Godot to Cardano tools.

At this point we will need to seek more funding, if so the goals will be as follows:

2024 Q1 - Beta test launch

2024 Q2 - Full product launch

2024 Q3 - Monitoring and improvements

2025 Q3 -> Product support, app improvements, marketing.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

2023 - Q4:

Milestone 1 - Treasure Chain is already an incorporated business entity. Some of this documentation will be public and sent to IOG. All employee contracts, payment plans, and agreements will be sent to IOG before work begins. These contracts will state that IOG has the right to view these payment proofs since Catalyst is a crowdfunded platform intended to have transparency with the Cardano community. Each employee is contracted on an hourly basis. Documentation of tracked hours by each employee will be provided to the community and Catalyst.

Milestone 2 - Testnet ledger transactions will show if NFTs can be successfully minted on the platform by connecting to the GameChanger Wallet. Cardanoscan links will be provided.

Milestone 3 - Testnet ledger transactions with NFT metadata will be provided. We will also provide documentation on how this metadata corresponds to in-game mechanics.

Milestone 4 (Final Acceptance Milestone) - Multi-user functionality will be self-evident in the use of the prototype. We will provide the link to the web browser prototype where anyone can test it to see if it is working. At this point, we intend to open-source some of our Godot to Cardano tools. A public Github page will be provided for the community. In the case that these tools are not fully functioning, we will provide an updated timeline of when we will release them.

2024 - Q1 - We hope by the beginning of next year it will be ready for beta launch to get test users. A 3 month testing period will give us time to assess what is and is not working, as well as get feedback on the enjoyment of the gameplay. Depending on how well things are working will determine how long this test period is.

2024 - Q2 - The goal by this time is to be able to launch the full product with confidence it is 90% working. There will need to be continued monitoring and user feedback to see how well it is working with many more users.

2024 - Q3 - By this time we will continue to monitor performance and make improvements. We will also begin marketing to increase the user base and begin generating revenue.

2024 - Q4 - Increase marketing and gain users, outreach to other projects in the community to see how we can help each other succeed and collaborate.

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

We are asking for roughly $65,200 in Ada. (227000 Ada- 7/12/23 - $0.29)

This will be used the pay the 4 team members $5,000 each for 3 months plus $5000 for outside consultation.

Team members can choose whether to be paid in ADA or USD.

The team will consist of:

1 Founder, Team Lead, Product Designer, and Project Manager - Samuel Walton

1 Cardano Developer - Adriano (GameChanger Wallet)

1 Godot Developer - Facundo Fernandez

1 Administrative Assistant and Marketer - Quasar

Outside consultation - Dagwell and Alpine (Disco Solaris)

Month 1:

Milestone 1 - 20,000 Ada: $3,410 has already been spent on registering Treasure Chain as a C corp in Delaware and Virginia. Roughly $2,390 remain to pay employees for their time.

Month 2:

Milestone 2 - 69,000 Ada - Split between the 4 employees for their time.

Milestone 3 - 69,000 Ada - Split between the 4 employees for their time.

Month 3:

Milestone 4 - 69,000 Ada - Split between the 4 employees for their time.

The team members are all already equipped with the necessary hardware and software. Most programs being used are free. The payment will be used primarily for the time spent on tasks.

Each team member will have the same 5k budget per month but will need to submit time cards and show task completion to receive payment.

Is this project feasible based on the proposal submitted? Does the plan and associated budget and milestones look achievable? Does the team have the skills, experience, capability and capacity to complete the project successfully?

Commenter gravatar

They claim that the proposal is full of challenges and readblocks, but the implementation time is only 3 months. I don't think the research and implementation of ideas can be done in just 1 month at each milestone. In addition, the milestones are not described so much that we can trust the proposal to be validated. Furthermore, the team's skill information is also not described. This reduces the reliability of the project. Because we have no basis to evaluate their capability.

The proposed Treasure Chain project aims to integrate smart contracts into the Godot game engine prototype, creating a dynamic platform that combines gaming, NFT marketplace, and social media functionalities. The feasibility of the proposal lies in its structured approach, clearly defined milestones, and specific goals.Milestone 1 focuses on team organization and administrative setup, ensuring smooth workflow and proper contract and payment arrangements. Milestone 2 involves integrating blockchain technology to mint NFTs with metadata, allowing the platform to connect with GameChanger Wallet. Milestone 3 involves translating game mechanics to blockchain interactions, embedding crucial tile information within NFT metadata. Milestone 4, the final acceptance milestone, deals with the implementation of multi-user gameplay and the potential open-sourcing of Godot to Cardano tools.the team also has a tracked record of working experience and they have the skills it takes to make it project success.The timeline appears well-structured, with a 3-month beta testing period starting in 2024 Q1, followed by a full product launch in Q2, and continuous monitoring and improvements in Q3. Marketing efforts to attract more users and generate revenue will be intensified in Success indicators include daily active users, registered unique wallets, transaction volume, and total revenue. Transparency will be maintained through public documentation of employee contracts, payment proofs, and tracked hours. Testnet ledger transactions and links to Cardanoscan will showcase successful minting of NFTs and metadata integration.

The proposal's ambition lies in surpassing existing Cardano NFT marketplaces in daily active users within six months of the official launch and outperforming all existing projects within a year. Achieving this goal will largely depend on the platform's usability, user experience, and attractiveness as a multifunctional gaming and NFT marketplace platform.

Overall, the project seems feasible and well-planned, with a clear roadmap and transparency measures. However, its ultimate success will rely heavily on how well the team executes each milestone, the quality of user experience, and effective marketing strategies.

For feasibility I have given you 4 stars. You already created a website with a small demo, so that is definitely much better than having absolutely nothing created when asking for funds. You have also done a decent job with your milestones and deliverables. Overall there is enough info in this section to make someone believe that you can complete the proposal. Feasibility is HIGH - this proposal element is GREAT

With a functioning prototype and ties to knowledgeable Cardano blockchain experts, the proposal demonstrates advancement and improvement. To evaluate the team's skills, it is crucial to be aware of their past work and background. An in-depth awareness of team members' responsibilities and prior experiences would be helpful when determining their talents. The functioning prototype created by Treasure Chain is a big accomplishment that shows their capacity to turn a concept into a usable product. Collaboration with GameChanger Wallet, a prominent player in the Cardano ecosystem, strengthens their position and provides access to valuable resources and expertise. The proposal outlines specific milestones, goals, and timelines for the project's development. However, additional clarification and concrete details on certain aspects would be beneficial. For example, further elaboration on the beta test launch and full product launch timelines would be helpful. The proposal also includes plans for monitoring and improvements after the full product launch, demonstrating the team's commitment to continuous enhancement and user satisfaction. Regarding funding, the proposal requests three months of funding, but it is essential to elaborate on specific funding requirements, utilization, and budget breakdowns. Transparent communication about financial planning ensures accountability and builds trust with potential investors. Establishing multiple channels of communication for community feedback and inquiries is commendable to address concerns and ensure transparency. In conclusion, while the proposal demonstrates progress with a working prototype and connections with skilled developers, providing more detailed information about the team's expertise, a clear budget breakdown, and further elaboration on milestones and timelines will strengthen the proposal's overall viability. Open communication and transparency will be key to building confidence and support for the Treasure Chain project within the Cardano community.

The goal of the project is explained but complex in nature. There is no clear distinction to start or begin with. The first goal upon funding is smart contract integration with the prototype. The release of beta begin user testing right after fund is released. The plan outlined to execute the task looks great and well-presented but somehow complex to understand. It does not follow pattern in my opinion and repetitive in most ways. The budget allocation is somehow expensive and needs to be cut down or reduce for a 3month project. The project milestone is neatly presented, however, lacks clarity and needs to be explained well to mind satisfaction. The experience of the proposer and his team members are enormous and boost investor confidence. Serving a position like founder, UI designer, product designer, animator, web developer, insurtech engineer shows how experienced the team members are. However, the information provided in the project milestone, plan, budget in my opinion cannot guarantee the feasibility of the project.

Treasure Chain already have their product prototype, and it is proven to be usable by their demonstration on their website (treasurechain.io). The team is also able to sufficiently provide evidence of their experience needed for this project to succeed. Regarding the technical aspect, however, I don’t see enough technical explanation needed for it to be integrated with Cardano blockchain. As you may know, Cardano’s smart-contract nature is different from Ethereum or the EVM world. How will it save its state with Cardano’s SC? Where will the asset (art pixels) be stored? Is it with IPFS or directly on the blockchain (which is very limited)? At the very least, explaining this technical aspect albeit not very comprehensive or in detail, will inform us the level of expertise of the team. With that being said, I have doubt that this team will successfully deliver the project within the said timeframe.

The feasibility of this proposal [“a modest amount to pay each team member $5,000 a month for 3 months” to continue working on the project] is relatively good. I think the team seems committed to the project. They are asking for three months of funding to continue developing their project. The team has already released a working prototype, so this is not a “we will only start building something, if you pay us” type of proposal. There is vision, there is commitment, there is a path ahead. Yet the team admits that the project is quite ambitious and they anticipate challenges and roadblocks. I do too. I see a LOT of challenges and roadblocks, hence it is important to keep in mind that this is – in my view - a very risky project for the Treasury. Some milestones should be better written. For example: “2023 Q4 - Begin smart contract integration with the Godot game engine prototype”. To begin something is not really a milestone in my book. It is a thing one does to feel better (“I started working on the project”). If resubmitting the proposal in Fund 11, tighten up the milestones language. For example, Milestone 2 states: “The first goal for blockchain integration into the Godot prototype is to allow the simple minting of an NFT on the platform.” My question here is – is the milestone “to allow” the minting … or to really mint it? The proof is in the mint. Milestone 3: “Research and implement how to translate the game mechanics to blockchain interactions.”. What do you specifically intend to research here and from where? The team expects to need more follow-up funding all throughout 2024 and 2025. However, the sources of this funding have not been stated. It’s a red flag if the project is planning to become a gamechanger for Cardano and blockchain games in general. Share the financial vision.

Is the funding amount requested for this project reasonable and does it provide good Value for Money to the Treasury?

Commenter gravatar

The budget in this proposal is clearly designed and broken down and it also shows how much transparency that team will advocate to ensure that success is achieved at the end. At the end of this project more money will be brought to cardano ecosystem. The proposal requests approximately $65,200 in ADA for the Cardano ecosystem. The budget is broken down into simple language, showing the allocation for the team members and outside consultation.

This proposal aims to allocate an amount $5,000 for each member monthly for 3 months. The project's success would attract more users to Cardano ecosystem, potentially leading to substantial revenue growth within the first year of its official launch. The investment in the team and product could yield significant returns for the Cardano ecosystem.

Based on the provided budget analysis, the cost of the project can be considered good value for money based on the following factors:

  1. The proposed budget is realistic and not excessive, with a significant portion of the budget set aside to pay team members during their time on the project.
  2. Team members are well qualified and experienced in their respective fields, with skill sets and provable credentials in blockchain, Cardano development and game development.
  3. The project looks well planned and structured, with clear milestones, execution, and expected outcomes. This shows a high level of responsibility and confidence in the project team's ability to successfully execute the project.
  4. The project has the potential to bring significant value to the Cardano ecosystem by introducing a mobile game designed specifically for ADA, increasing the utility of the ecosystem and increasing user engagement. The project's projected costs are significantly lower than the potential revenue and impact the project could generate for Cardano. Considering these factors, I would give the project a cost score of 4 out of 5 on the value for money scale, indicating that the project's budget is properly allocated to deliver significant value and return to the Cardano ecosystem.

I have given 2 stars for this section. Budget information is very important and I feel like this one can use a lot of work. You have said that each person will get 5K per month. How did you determine that number? You just say "Milestone 4 - 69,000 Ada - Split between the 4 employees for their time." How much time are they spending on this? All employees are doing exactly equal work and should all be paid the same? How many hours will each task take to justify that 5K is a fair and reasonable amount of money? None of these things I am able to understand from the info you provided. In your own explanation of how this represents value for Cardano you write "We believe we are asking for a modest amount to pay each team member $5,000 a month for 3 months. If this product works as intended, it should quickly bring many more users to Cardano and generate tenfold in revenue within the first year of the official launch." Neither of these sentences provides any real explanation. We dont know if 5K is modest because we arent really sure how much time or work is involved to do these things. Why do you think it will generate tenfold revnue? What does that even mean? That the number of tx fees from new users will be more than the proposal amount. Would recommend spending more time on your budget and explaining why these amounts are a good value in future proposals.

Per the experience of the proposer and his team members alone worth the amount requested for their engagement time, however, cardano community is not that lucrative to accommodate such amount. Cardano seeks to be all inclusive and spending such an amount of money on one project whose feasibility is questionable is problematic. Although the funding amount requested for this project is reasonable, the information provided on planning, project milestone raises concern for budget approval. The resources for the project is good but can also be better. The funding amount requested for the proposal is reasonable and provide good value for money to the treasury, however, the feasibility of the project is problematic making it hard or difficult for me to conclude on good value for money.

The proposed project seeks funding of approximately $65,200 in Ada to compensate four team members over a three-month period, with an additional allocation for outside consultation. The team includes a Founder, Team Lead, Product Designer, and Project Manager named Samuel Walton, a Cardano Developer named Adriano (GameChanger Wallet), a Godot Developer named Facundo Fernandez, and an Administrative Assistant and Marketer named Quasar. The project also involves external consultation from Dagwell and Alpine (Disco Solaris). The timeline consists of three months, with specific milestones for each month. The team already has the necessary hardware and software, with most programs available for free. The budget allocation will mainly be used to compensate the team for time spent on project-related tasks. However, some aspects require further elaboration. The proposed milestones may be too generic, making it difficult to accurately track progress. To enhance clarity and better monitor progress, the team could create more specific and measurable milestones. The project's success will attract numerous users to Cardano, leading to substantial revenue generation in its first year of official launch. To strengthen this claim, the team could provide concrete data or projections to substantiate the project's potential impact on the Cardano ecosystem. In conclusion, the proposal provides a detailed budget breakdown and introduces the project team members and their expertise. However, it would benefit from greater clarity and specificity in certain areas to enhance its value-for-money rating. By refining the milestones and presenting data-driven projections, the proposal can present a more compelling case for the project's significance within the Cardano ecosystem.

The value for money of this proposal for the Treasury and the Cardano community is in my view very low right now. The team is asking for roughly $65,200 in Ada. My personal opinion is that Cardano Products & Integrations category has higher priorities than this project, which in my view has a very high risk. Maybe the risk of delivery is low (feasibility may be good), but the risk of low adoption and usage of Treasure Chain in my view is high. The team itself states in the proposal that “Crypto needs timeless blockchain games that appeal to more than just crypto insiders”. This is a very high bar that the team set for themselves and I am judging them by this bar. Treasure Chain may be an interesting novelty. It may be an interesting integration. However, is it a timeless blockchain game that appeals to more than crypto insiders? I haven’t been convinced. It may sound like a no, but its really a “Not yet”.

The proposal provides detail about their budget breakdowns alongside with their milestones. Each team member will be allocated to around 17000 ADA or around $5000 USD per month. For the technical aspect level of difficulty, this kind of salary is justified, when we calculate: 40hours/week → $33/hour, which is a higher-standard salary for developers nowadays. However, I have a doubt for the value for money when judging by the team expertise. As I’ve explained in ‘Feasibility’ field, they’re lacking Cardano’s technical knowledge, and doesn’t sufficiently explained on how they will accomplish their goal with their current technical knowledge.

Commenter gravatar

This project is very well written. The creation of a treasure chain using blockchain technology highlights the project and it is possible that this project will attract a lot of people to participate in the Cardano community. The reason is that people are easily attracted to new things and want to explore them. The proponent offers a very detailed and actionable solution and measure of success.

As the proposal said, a number of blockchain games have become popular. That means they are aware of the challenges may come when they decide to make a game recommendation. However, their description does not say anything about the game operating mechanism, or their game analysis will have any advantages to attract users compared to other games. The combination of NFT is not something too isolated, as most of the games currently on the ecosystem have this combination. Thus, to me, this idea was not at good level but nor poor one.

This project has a great benefit or potential for the development and growth the cardano ecosystem with the team interest in the development of an impact measurement system to grow cardano ecosystem.This proposal for Treasure Chain in the Cardano ecosystem aims to have a positive impact by offering a timeless blockchain game that appeals to a wider audience beyond crypto insiders. Unlike existing blockchain games, which often have limited gameplay, Treasure Chain combines NFT collectibles, video game assets, and fine art, allowing digital artists to earn a living by selling their works. The game's flexibility and collaborative nature, where users can arrange NFT artworks and create new art through modular Linkages, encourage engagement and creativity. By using crypto for all transactions, users can profit from their contributions, making it enticing for everyday gamers and artists to join the cultural event surrounding the game. the success rate and impact of this project on the Cardano ecosystem is very important the proposal appears promising to grow cardano ecosystem.The project's development will be transparent with publicly posted milestones on the Notion page, enabling community oversight. The number of users, growth rate will increase, and engagement of Cardano's unique active wallets with Treasure Chain will be critical indicators. Publicly available metrics from both testnet and mainnet ledgers, including active wallets, daily transactions, transaction volume, revenue, user profits, and content postings, will provide a comprehensive assessment of the project's success and its influence on the Cardano ecosystem.

From the information provided, it appears that the proposed solution is a game that combines NFT, Art, and crypto to create a unique platform with adaptable, customizable, and cooperative gameplay. The project aims to address the challenge of limited cultural relevance for blockchain games, while gaining more attention and adoption for Cardano by providing a hub for discovery and collaboration within the NFT ecosystem. The project team plans to measure success by meeting milestones, tracking user engagement and tracking transaction volumes, and comparing their metrics with similar platforms on Cardano and other blockchains. The project team also plans to share the results of their work through social media channels, the Catalyst committee and IOG communications, and show progress on their Notion and Github pages. Overall, the proposed solution has the potential to make a positive impact on the Cardano ecosystem by increasing interest in NFTs, blockchain art and games, and providing a platform for community collaboration. However, the success of the project will depend on its ability to attract and retain a substantial user base as well as its ability to maintain a high level of engagement and activity on the platform.

The proposal suggests the integration of the blockchain with their game/ marketplace, treasure chain. This enables novel ways to link NFTs together to form artistic landscapes. While cool and some artists may create interesting interactions, I don't believe that this proposal has the mass appeal that the team hopes.

I think you have done a decent job on this section and have given you 4 stars. When you are creating KPIs, it would be much more useful for you to define what your goal numebers are. so instead of saying "Number of daily transactions" You would say, Our target for number of daily transactions will be XXX. The Impact will be HIGH - this proposal element is GREAT

The proposal for Treasure Chain aims to enhance the Cardano ecosystem by establishing a unique NFT Art network. However, it lacks a clear and detailed explanation of its potential impact and benefits. The proposal mentions drawing attention and adoption to Cardano but lacks concrete evidence or measurable outcomes to support this claim. The lack of data leaves room for uncertainty. The proposal also fails to address the challenge of attracting a substantial number of users and artists to migrate to Cardano. It should offer a more comprehensive strategy to bridge the gap between crypto insiders and potential new participants. Key metrics, such as user count, transaction volume, and revenue generated, are outlined but lack specific benchmarks or desired values, making it challenging to evaluate the project's effectiveness. Communication through social media channels and engagement with the Catalyst Committee and IOG are mentioned, but a more comprehensive approach to community engagement and results dissemination is necessary. Overall, the proposal should provide more concrete and measurable explanations of how it will make a real difference in the Cardano ecosystem. Without a clearer and more detailed plan, it remains uncertain how Treasure Chain's game will achieve its objectives and contribute to the growth and adoption of Cardano.

The proposers are putting forward a proposal that would finance the creation of a new, simple game engine for users to create art or designs that can be turned int NFTs that take part in an NFT game. The proposers see a vision where this platform will serve to motivate creators and collectors to build worlds together. This is early days for the Treasure Chain project that sees itself as an art network. Interesting. The team states that “NFTs can act like a giant neural network of art”. I watched the intro video on the Demo on the Treasure Chain site. Interesting? Yes. Did it blow me away? No. Would I use it. Probably no. Would some of the kids I know probably use it? Probably no. The whitepaper is detailed. The 25 pages of explanations show that the team is passionate. The intro video shows the passion behind the project, so I am not minimizing the effort. However, at this moment in the Cardano project timeline, I think that this project – if worth it – should not rely on the Treasury as I am sceptical that it will have a positive effect on the Cardano ecosystem in the near future. In an ideal world the Treasury would stretch to all projects and all asks. However, this project in my view does not have the oooomph yet to create that synergistic effect for the treasury. My advice, if you are passionate about it, continue building it in your free time until Fund 11 when you might be able to show something more that can propel you into the funded project. Also, I would advise the team to be more objective if resubmitting the proposal in Fun 11 (if it is not funded in Fund 10).

Most online games are well placed with good graphics but lack user collaborative and customization. The treasure chain is an art network where users can assign rules about how their NFTs can interact with others. This will serve as a platform for creators and collectors to build worlds together. The proposal seeks to be unique by creating a user friendly game with adaptability, customization and collaboration. For this project, user of the game can assign rules about their location on the map, what art can be contained within other art and what other art can be combine with to form a new art. The proposal seeks to use the platform created to draw much attention and adaptation of other game developers, artists and enthusiasts to migrate to cardano blockchain. The innovation of treasure chain will be it adaptability and range of use cases which will be epicenter of the cardano NFT ecosystem. However, the impact on cardano ecosystem needs to be improved and amass huge numbers to partake in cardano community activities.

Treasure Chain is a project to create NFT games for creators with Cardano. The impact it will bring into the Cardano ecosystem is, of course, increase of adoption. When a game is created with blockchain, it will garner attention from the public, as with other game in the past i.e Axie Infinity. The unique aspect with this project is they combine 3 things with the success of NFTs, that is: digital collectibles, video game assets, and unique pieces of fine art. The innovation that Treasure chain wanted to create is its adaptability of range of use cases, where it behaves like a lobby or a space for different creator in NFTs space to interact with each other. All in all, I believe it’s a promising project if done correctly and meet all of the milestones.
