### Initial Role Structure
1. boiler
- Project Manager: Oversees scheduling, upon consultation with team. Manages projects board and task assignments within.
- Community Lead: Engages with the community for feedback and promotion.
- Protocol Integrations: Manages the integration of Hats Protocol, Hypercerts, and Allo. Liasions with protocol teams.
- Game Design: Collaborates on game flow.
2. Jord
- Product Manager: Guides the product vision and coordinates development.
- Lead Engineer: Oversees technical aspects and implementation.
- Wireframes/Designs: Designs the initial layout and visuals.
- Game Design: Shapes the game mechanics and rules.
3. Matt (UI369)
- Game Coordinator Lead: Ensures game rules are upheld and manages game flow.
- Game Design: Collaborates on game mechanics and rules.
- UX/UI Development: Works on the user interface and experience.
- Marketing: Manages promotional activities.
### Outcomes
1. Successful integration of required protocols to run in the backend of the game.
2. Distribution of grants to impactful projects within the Arbitrum ecosystem.
3. Establishment of an effective feedback loops.
4. High levels of community engagement and participation.
### Ongoing Processes
1. Daily Checkin. Extremely short and focused, 15 min.
- This is preferably in person however a daily typed post in appropriate place will suffice if needed.
2. Weekly Review.
3. Continuous community feedback through dev logs and forums.
*It is understood that this project lands straight through the winter holiday season and other plans. If possible, leave work in a safe state (you'll be able to pick it up again easily), complete, or in a position to hand off if possible.*
### Due Date (or Review Date)

## Questions to Answer:
Questions to Answer:
--------------------
1. **What problem does this project solve?**
The project aims to streamline and decentralize the grant allocation process within the Arbitrum ecosystem, ensuring impactful utilization of community funds.
2. **What is the "Win State" available at the end of this project?**
The Win State is a fully functional, community-engaged Grant Ships system with successful integrations, impactful grant distributions, and a robust feedback mechanism.
3. **What would be the major impact of not doing this project?**
Without this project, grant allocation would lack the community-driven, decentralized ethos, leading to sub-optimal resource allocation and lower community engagement. The web3 "Grant World" will remain unevolved while numerous tools float all around. Without anybody to use and integrate these tools, they don't get used.
4. **What could go wrong? What is the "Lose State"?**
Failure to integrate the protocols, lack of community engagement, and ineffective grant allocation would represent a Lose State.
5. **How does your proposal uniquely move us toward the Win State and avoid the Lose State?**
The proposal's focus on integrating multiple decentralized protocols and a strong community engagement strategy sets it apart, steering us toward the Win State and away from potential pitfalls.
With many "protocols" and tools having been built in the web3 space over the last bear market, it is now time for teams to integrate these tools into our own projects. This is what moves the space forward as it is the intentional way that products get built in our space.
