Thanks for the delivery @mfornos we have a bit of a backlog at the moment but an evaluator will be able to take a look in the next few days.

Thanks for the delivery, @mfornos. I reviewed all deliverables and am happy to report that everything worked out of the box. Your milestone is hereby accepted. You can find my evaluation notes here.

Congratulations on completing the first milestone of this grant! As part of the Grants Program, we want to help grant recipients acknowledge their grants publicly. To that end, we've created a badge for projects that successfully deliver their first milestone. Please use the badge only in reference to the work that has been completed as part of this grant, so please do not display it on your team or project's homepage unless accompanied by a short description of the grant. Furthermore, you're now welcome to announce the grant publicly. Please remember to observe the foundation's guidelines in doing so. If you haven't already, reach out to [email protected] for feedback on your announcement and cross-promotion.

Thank you for your contribution, and good luck! If you have any remaining milestone, let us know if you encounter any delays by leaving a comment on the application PR or submitting an amendment.

🪙 Please fill out the invoice form in order to initiate the payment process. Thank you!

We noticed that this is the last milestone of your project. Congratulations on completing your grant! 🎊

So, where to from here? First of all, you should join our Grants Community chat, if you haven't already, so we can stay in touch.
If you are looking for continuative support for your project, there are quite a few options. The main goal of the W3F grants program is to support research as well as early-stage technical projects. If your project still falls under one of those categories, you might want to apply for a follow-up grant. However, depending on your goals and project status, there are other support programs in our ecosystem that might be better suited as the next step. For example, projects with a Business Case/Token should look into the Substrate Builders Program or VC Funding and Common Good projects have a good chance of receiving Treasury Funding. If you are looking for guidance, the team at https://substrate.io/ecosystem/square-one/ has compiled a list of ecosystem support sources and are happy to help you navigate it.

For a more comprehensive list, see our Alternative Funding page. Let us know if you have any questions regarding the above. We are more than happy to point you to additional resources and help you determine the best course of action.
Lastly, we hope your W3F grant was a success and we want to thank you for being part of the journey!
