Mission Request: Support on-chain games close to launch

Mission Request Summary:
Provide targeted funding for on-chain games to maximize the chances of a successful game launch. These funds could consist of incentives that make it easier for users to onboard such as gas rebates or free gameplay as well as educational content (game demos, how to get started).

By supporting the launch of certain on-chain games this will increase the chances of a successful launch thereby encouraging other developers to enter the ecosystem to build on top of successful gaming trends.

  • All grant funds are allocated to users / service providers (within 12 months of grant approval)
• Metrics:
  • Number of addresses that have interacted with contract (total users onboarded)
  • Monthly Active Addresses (how sticky is the game)
  • DAA/MAA ratio (but really how sticky is the game)
• Impact:
  • Total gas fees generated

Has anyone other than the proposer contributed to this Mission Request? No

Which metric will the success of this Mission Request be evaluated against?

The North star metric against which this Mission Request should be evaluated is the total amount of gas fees generated from the grantee’s contracts, because this Mission Request sets out to increase the aggregate demand for blockspace on the Superchain through a larger program. The total gas fees generated from this program act as a healthy indicator of its combined downstream performance. This metric was suggested by the Foundation and approved by the Grants Council.
