Unlock DAO Grant Discussions: April 2023

This thread is to make sure the community is aware of several grant proposal discussions that have been started by members of the Unlock community. A few reminders:

  1. If you haven’t done so recently, check out the Grants page on the Unlock website: Unlock Grant Program
  2. And DEFINITELY check out the updated Grantee Handbook in the docs: Grantee Handbook | Unlock Protocol

With that intro, the thread below will be for highlighting grant proposals currently submitted. Please take a look at them, ask any questions, and engage with their proposers and the community to begin to get to consensus on whether you feel the Unlock DAO should support these grants from the Unlock DAO treasury.

You can view current Grant Applications on Github.

LOTY:
https://github.com/unlock-protocol/unlock/issues/11528

We are building Loty. An NFT-based Loyalty Platform that enables small and medium-sized brands in LATAM to develop a digital Loyalty Program for their customers without the need of developing their own app or platform and spending a lot of money. End users can view all their Loyalty Programs in their Loty app and engage in a closer and more fun way with their favorite brands.

In many cases, brands enroll their customers in their Loyalty Program on a subscription-based model, where customers have to pay or fulfill some requisites to stay enrolled; for these cases, we are using Unlock. Each customer gets an Unlock NFT (which is their loyalty program), and we set expiration dates each month; the customers that pay their subscription get their subscription renewed, and the ones that don’t stop becoming their benefits.

As of today, our App is in the App Store and Play Store and we already have one customer issuing 1,000 Unlock Subscriptions to their customers.

Dripps:
https://github.com/unlock-protocol/unlock/issues/11544

Dripps is a social community hub for more inclusive and secure IRL engagements
My vision with Dripps is to build a safer platform with global reach, where anyone can organize and participate in gatherings, no matter where they live in the world. Using blockchain technology, we plan to continue improving event security, privacy, and transparency for all involved.
One of the biggest reasons I want to bring the Dripps project to life is that I want to make IRL engagements a safer and more inclusive ecosystem for everyone, especially women.
Solution/Product: Phase 1: I believe that by integrating NFTs with our platform, we can provide even greater value to our users by offering a more seamless and secure event management experience in Web3. The NFT membership would allow members to access the platform, events, and communication channels.

For more information regarding milestones, roadmap and proposal please review the document attached to the submission in Github.
