W3F Grant Milestone Delivery

📢 This repository is only for submitting finished milestones for the Web3 Foundation Grants Program.


📫 Milestone Delivery Process

The milestone delivery process is part of the W3F Grants Program. You can find the application process here.

⚠️ Before you submit a milestone, make sure it complies with our Guidelines for Milestone Deliverables.

  1. Milestone Delivery:
    1. Fork this repository with the same GitHub account that you used to submit the application (ignore if you applied privately).
    2. In the newly created fork, create a copy of the milestone delivery template (deliveries/milestone-delivery-template.md). If you're using the GitHub web interface, you will need to create a new file and copy the contents of the template inside the new one. Make sure you do not modify the template file directly. In the case of a maintenance application, use the (maintenance template) instead.
    3. Fill out the template with the details of your milestone, including all deliverables as listed in your application.
    4. Name the file project_name-milestone_number.md or in the case of maintenance agreement project_name-delivery_number.md
    5. Create a pull request and fill out the comment template.
  2. Milestone Review:
    1. Evaluators can (and usually do) issue comments and request changes on the pull request. Their feedback needs to be resolved before your milestone is accepted.
    2. Grants Evaluators will merge your pull request to accept the delivery.
  3. Milestone Payment:
    1. After the milestone is approved and the pull request merged, fill out the invoice form.
    2. The operations team receives a notification once the invoice is submitted. Payments are usually processed within 14 days.
    3. Payment is made to the bank account or Polkadot address specified in the initial application.

Grant applications can be amended at any time. However, this necessitates a reevaluation by the committee. If your application has been accepted and, during development, you find that your project significantly deviates from the original specification, please open a new pull request that modifies the existing application.

☑️ External Evaluations

As part of the grant program, we allow everyone to participate in the evaluation process of submitted milestones. Successfully merged external evaluations will receive up to 15 KSM, depending on the quality and depth of the evaluation. The payout will be sent to their Kusama identity address.

Requirements

  • On-Chain identity on Kusama
  • GitHub account
  • Share your identity and postal address with us via grants@web3.foundation due to regulatory reasons
  • The evaluation must be submitted within ten days after the milestone was delivered
  • Should your cumulative payouts exceed 1,000 CHF, we may request and perform Know Your Customer (KYC) verification procedures before processing the payout
  • You are permitted to evaluate a limited number of cases, with a calendar yearly cap equivalent to 2,000 CHF in KSM, in adherence to regulatory guidelines

Process

  1. Let the Grants Team know that you intend to work on an external evaluation (no more than one at a time, please!), either by commenting on the milestone pull request in question, by submitting a draft PR with a reference to the milestone PR, by email or Matrix.
  2. Fork this repository.
  3. In the newly created fork, create a copy of the evaluation template (evaluations/evaluation-template.md).
  4. Name the file project-name_milestone-number_your-github-username.md.
  5. Fill out the template with the specifics of your evaluation. The higher the quality of your assessment and the level of detail, the higher the KSM recompense.
  6. Once you have completed the evaluation, create a pull request in this repository.
  7. Add a comment or review to the pull request that contains the evaluated milestone delivery. This comment should contain a quick summary of your finding as well as link to the milestone submission.
  8. Milestone evaluations are double-checked by W3F Grants Evaluators. Successful milestone evaluations are merged and the evaluator is rewarded with KSM.
