Hello Community!
It’s been a long time but we are here to report on how we have been developing our product since receiving funding.
We were granted $5k as seen here in April to begin work in May.
We immediately gathered a team of experts to help us strengthen our efforts. Below is a breakdown of where we are right now.
TEAM
We assembled a team consisting of;
Igboze Israel Team Lead
Steve Akin Co-Team Lead/Solidity Dev
Ajemark Frontend developer
Jesumuyiwa Grace UI/UX designer
Ijaola Omotola Game creator
Ogbleba Regina Content writer
And Two moderators as interns to help manage the community.
COMMUNITY STRATEGY
New community handles were utilized to help onboard a global web3 puzzle gaming enthusiast and not limit it to Africans alone. This hence required getting new faces other than the Aurora Africa Mod team. The handles are below
FUNDS UTILIZATION
The initial $5k grant was used to compensate the team monthly. During this process, we changed two UI/UX designers and two front-end Devs to give us quality work. Along the line, MDAO gave us additional support of $3.3k [APPROVED] Marketing funding for mental maze (September, 2023) - MarketingDAO - NEAR Forum to help push the process to testnet.
STATE OF THE PROJECT
DONE
TESTNET
We are thrilled to see an overwhelming response from the gaming community during our testnet testing phase. Our Discord channel has grown to over 23 live games, 189 members, and 72 creators buzzing with excitement. Players and creators have provided valuable feedback, helping us improve the game experience and build a strong community.
YET-DONE
MAINNET
To speed up the action and keep engaging our community/the entire Aurora community, the mainnet is split into three phases.
- V1 Mainnet: Quiz platform expected this January.
- V2 Mainnet: Puzzle Launchpad
- V3 Mainnet: Educational Infrastructure
The scope of the product has been widened and hence extended our timeline to launch the mainnet.
