Polls

SDK Polygon NFT support

• Yes 99% 422,137 VP (22 votes)
• No 1% 5,800 VP (1 vote)

The DAO has voted to expand SDK/Builder integration of Polygon NFTs. To enact this decision, this line in the web builder needs to be changed. The web builder, however, uses OpenSea API and their API does not presently support Polygon. OpenSea is re-architecting their API to be multi-chain and when completed, this decision can be implemented.

Should Decentraland provide MANA and LAND owners a quarterly update on their progress of porting Decentraland to the Oculus or any other gaming console

• Yes, there should be an organized quarterly report 99% 342,898 VP (20 votes)
• No, Decentraland should not inform the community in an organized manner 1% 12 VP (1 vote)

The DAO has voted to request a quarterly update report from the Decentraland Foundation detailing progress made on client development and third-party device integrations. The DAO Committee has informed the Decentraland Foundation of the community’s desire for regular updates. A pre-proposal to delegate responsibility for developing and executing the roadmap for the Reference Client to the Foundation is currently being discussed. If submitted and passed, the measure will formally delegate client development to the Foundation with the DAO providing input to each 6 month iteration of the roadmap. In addition to generating a public, collaborative roadmap, this proposal would result in more frequent progress reports regarding development of the reference client.

Group similar market listings together with a price range

• Update Marketplace UX to group similar items 100% 298,345 VP (15 votes)
• Do not update UX 0% 0 VP (0 votes)

The DAO has voted to update the Decentraland Marketplace UX to group collectibles of the same item, in order to improve Marketplace usability. The Decentraland Foundation dApps team is looking into this redesign.

Updating Fee Structure for Wearable Secondary Sales (Update)

Fees (2.5%) from Polygon secondary wearable sales on the Decentraland Marketplace have been transferred to the DAO Committee Wallet and could be manually redistributed to creators. However, at this time, the DAO does not know how much to send to each creator and does not have capacity to develop a tool for automating this process. Community members are welcome to build such a tool for OpenSea, and apply for grant funding.
