Description

The [Community Grants](https://docs.decentraland.org/decentraland/community-grants/) Program is one of the most important vehicles the DAO has to accomplish its vision of supporting and facilitating the sustainable growth of the Decentraland platform. In the past year, the DAO awarded more than [$3.5M USD to 58 community led projects](https://governance.decentraland.org/?type=grant&status=enacted) working in different areas such as content creation, developer tools, research, events, game development, among others. Up to this moment, grant’s beneficiaries update their progress voluntarily using different platforms, such as the DAO’s Discord server, the forum thread of the grant proposal and sometimes presenting their process during the monthly town-halls. **However not every project has informed their progress, nor shipped a final result. This is an issue the DAO should invest energy to address.** The return of impact of our grants is a key asset to build a better platform, **and it is our responsibility to support their development.** Most of the grants are given through a revocable vesting contract, in other words, **the DAO can revoke the contract and recover the unvested funds if the beneficiary fails to deliver what was promised. However this mechanism has not been used yet, we can argue it’s because of the DAO’s weak oversight capabilities or missing incentives to do so.** This proposal is to build a team of experienced producers/project managers to build relationships with grant beneficiaries, hold regular meetings with them to track their progress and, in the case a team fails to deliver, escalate the issue to the DAO to revoke their contract.
