[seichris]

1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

Our DAOVerse dApp enables Web3 communities (DAOs, NFT Creators and more) to gamify & personalize the process by which they onboard and incentivize new and existing community members. Our project provides an easily tailored 3D Web & VR-enabled metaverse framework that can be adopted and implemented for enhancing community engagement.

2. How will IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology be used for this project? (max 100 words)

-NFT minting capabilities added for passport between onboarding experience & full DAOVerse utilizing Tatum API on Polygon, with assets stored on IPFS

3. How will you improve your project with this grant? What steps will you take to meet this objective? (max 200 words)

We'd love to expand our usage of FIlecoin and IPFS to help power events in DAOVerse. DAOVerse events will be engaging virtual experiences where users can connect with their DAO or web3 community members. We want to use Filecoin to store livestreaming assets and event recordings. We plan to utilize Livepeer and build a Filecoin integration on top of that.
