Description

As you may know, we've received funding from the Decentraland DAO four times before ([1](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=b8219300-900f-11ec-9794-c9ea21a9ed8f),[2](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=4fad3e80-e74b-11ec-82d9-d917cdd158ac),[3](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=9d6efbe0-65d1-11ed-bf97-7dbf9f54c71d),[4](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=6b2227f0-f4b2-11ed-9bc2-e5fe350d0c93)), which has enabled us to keep the project running and growing. In November 2023, [our grant proposal](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=e2feb90d-36b2-4d03-b862-67fd8987436e) was rejected based on community feedback on costs. We greatly appreciate the community feedback and have come up with a solution which will keep the project going while significantly reducing the costs to the DAO. In this proposal, only Ivan, Lead Developer, is part of the team, and the budget was reduced from $33,600 to $12,156. Here are our main product updates from the past 6 months: **Genesis City Map Integration to DCL:** We collaborated with the Foundation on our map's integration to Decentraland. Now you can navigate our map on Decentraland when selecting “Satellite View”.  **Night Mode Layer:** You can explore Genesis City under Night Mode! We will let the image to talk for itself:  **Land Info Modal:** When you click on a parcel it shows if the land is for sale or rent, at what price, a link to the marketplace and it displays the image from the official client's map.  **Land Sale/Rent Layer:** We created a new layer showing lands available for sale or rent. Clicking on a parcel displays if it's for sale or rent, the listed price, and a direct link to the marketplace.  **Enhanced Permalink System:** Permalinks now include your selected layers and status so you can share specific map views. E.g. You can now share a link with the Points of Interest layer enabled. **Easy Reporting:** Users can right-click on any broken coordinate, select "Report," and it will be automatically reported.  **Adjustments to the “Recent Changes” Layer:** We've tweaked the Recent Changes layer to offer a clearer view. The red markers that show changes are now more transparent so users can still see what is on the land. **Parcel Image API:** We’ve added an API to retrieve individual parcel images from our Map. Access a specific parcel image by making a GET request to the following URL format: https://genesis.city/api/v1/land/{x-coordinate},{y-coordinate}.jpg For example: [https://genesis.city/api/v1/land/137,-145.jpg](https://genesis.city/api/v1/land/137,-145.jpg) Finally, we improved our project's maintenance processes and stability. We paid off some technical debt, fixed bugs, and improved our database backup system. We remain committed to engaging with our community and continue to receive valuable feedback from our users, including requests for new features and improvements. We will request further grants in the future if the community continues to be happy with our work.
