As 2023 draws to a close, it's a time to reflect on our journey thus far and to envision all the wonderful possibilities that lie ahead. This year has been nothing short of transformative, with the Galactic Hubs grant program supporting significant strides in the Alien Worlds metaverse.
A Leap in Innovation and Participation
With an impressive tally of 25 grant projects either completed or in development, we've seen a substantial jump from 8 total projects in 2022. This growth isn’t just in numbers; it represents a broader engagement and a deeper commitment of innovation from within our community.
At the heart of this year’s progress has been a strong focus on decentralization. By empowering grassroots builders with Alien Worlds IP (Intellectual Property) and foundational lore, we've opened the door to a myriad of experiences. From intricate games to rich content and innovative applications, the community’s creativity has been the driving force in expanding the Alien Worlds NFT ecosystem.
Sustaining the Momentum
Galactic Hubs is more than just a program; it's a mission to foster a community-driven metaverse. The increasing participation levels are a testament to the vibrant ecosystem we're cultivating. It’s inspiring to witness how each contribution enriches our shared universe.
Looking forward, Galactic Hubs is thrilled to unveil the 'Targeted Grants' initiative. This new venture is set to further galvanize community involvement with specific guidelines and deliverables. Covering diverse areas like Lore, Dacoco APIs, Bot Management, and Hackathons, these grants are designed to harness the community's potential in concrete, impactful ways. We’re gearing up to open submissions for these grants in early 2024, marking another exciting chapter in our journey.
