PROPOSAL: Creaticles - Request Custom NFTs from your community and ours

Title: PROPOSAL: Creaticles - Request Custom NFTs from your community and ours

Description: Creaticles is a platform that helps you source art for your NFTs. All you need is an idea to get started and Creaticles handles everything from there. We have a vibrant artist community and a seamless all in one platform which handles uploading of artwork, selection and minting.

Manifesto/Vision: The vision of our platform is to optimize our platform to better serve the $RLY community and foster the creation of community driven NFT contests. $RLY focuses on micro communities with decentralized fan support of influencers and creators; our platform Creaticles is the perfect platform for creators on $RLY to source NFTs and galvanize community support.

Problem:

Influencers, brands and others have no platform to request custom NFTs within the $RLY network. Users can create NFTs by themselves but there is no crowdsourced creation mechanism.

Solution:

Creaticles is a platform that already exists and enables this. What we would like to do is to enable this to function specifically for the $RLY ecosystem. We would like to support $RLY tokens as reward distributions as well has have the NFT seamlessly integrate with Rally’s NFT platform. We would like to hold contests with RallyDAO itself as well as creators/influencers across the $RLY community

Product:

Technical Integration

  • how to integrate RLY

As RLY is an ERC-20 token, we can simply add it to our site as we support ERC-20 standard tokens.

Differentiation:

Currently there exists no web 3.0 product like ours, as there is no other way to community source artwork for NFTs using a single platform. There exists platforms like Fiverr where you can source artwork, but it is not designed specifically for the creation of NFTs nor does it contain the contest element.

Progress

Creaticles is live and functioning, with contests with amazing partners including Axie Infinity, MakerDAO, Polygon and more. We have garnered over 20k followers on TG and Twitter individually with over 600 unique registered artists.

Our biggest contest to date with Axie Infinity had 961 submissions and the winner creating an impressive video using 3D artwork:

Grant Request $50000

Funds:

We plan on using these funds for the following purposes

Marketing: We want to make the biggest splash possible with $RLY as our partner, with the bulk of the budget being spent on marketing.

With this budget, we would like to create multiple contests with RallyDAO as well as creators/influencers that are part of the $RLY ecosystem. This budget will be used to sponsor contests to provide prize money for creators, (ex: the winner of the contest will receive 5000 RLY).

The budget would also be used for PR announcements and promotion via social media.

Technology: The budget will be used to pay for programming resources needed to integrate RLY token into our site as well as website modifications and integration with the first party Rally NFT platform.

The team is at SXSW and ETH Austin so may be a bit slow to respond here but I have a few preliminary questions that will help once the team gets back together

  1. Can you break out your budget with more specifics and include a timeline?

  2. This may come out of answering the first question but how many RLY will be used for rewards?

  3. Which other Layer-1s do you support?

:x: I don’t see the benefit. Its not much effort for us to do this contest on our own NFT platform. Our target audience is not the Crypto space so i would say no to this marketing offer.

Hello to the Creaticles Team!

Just checking in to see if you were able to review the questions that Mike sent!

We have this additional question:

  1. Do you intend to request more RLY in the future for contests? How will want to replenish more RLY for future contests?

Thank you,
Jennifer

  1. Can you break out your budget with more specifics and include a timeline?

Here is a more precise breakdown of our budget and timeline:

$35,000 - Used to provide prize pool money for RallyDAO community users that we will select to host contests. Over a time period of a month, we will have a Rally section of our featured contests on our landing page where users can see active contests from RallyDAO influencers that have prizes in RLY.

$12,000 - Media and PR release, promotion on social media channels.

$3000 - Dev costs to cover implementation of RLY token, UI/UX changes for contest promotion.

  1. This may come out of answering the first question but how many RLY will be used for rewards?

Each contest will vary in prize pool rewards depending on the scope of the contest and user hosting the contest. But estimated 1000 - 5000 RLY per contest

  1. Which other Layer-1s do you support?

We currently only support Ethereum, but have plans in the near future to support Fantom and Polygon.

  1. Do you intend to request more RLY in the future for contests? How will want to replenish more RLY for future contests?

It would be of interest to have recurring contests/promotions, but as RLY would be newly launching on our platform the amount of RLY we are requesting for this grant would be higher to make a larger impact.

Hope we figure out how to limit the vote to only reviewers soon, or else it’s confusing!

Agreed - I just messaged @Soul_of_Jacobeh right now to get his assistance on setting a separate group for DAO Reviewers on the forum.

Setup the DAO Reviewer group. I think in the future you should be able to open threads only open to that group now?

Or maybe I’ll have to setup a sub-topic for it, I’m not totally sure.
