Hey @lukastanisic99 ,
thanks for your submission. please fix the application PR link in this PR description. :)

[lukastanisic99]

@PieWol done 😁

Hey @lukastanisic99
sorry for the delay, we have a lot going on at the moment. I will start evaluating this delivery on monday. Hope that works for you.

[lukastanisic99]

Sure - it's the same state of the repository as the first milestone which you evaluated (just referencing different files) - it's submitted a few days later since we were waiting for feedback on the article, but seems the feedback will be part of this evaluation 🙂

Hey @lukastanisic99 ,
what's the testing guide for this milestone?

[lukastanisic99]

Hey @PieWol it's the same testing guide since it's the same state of the repository (we didn't really look at it as milestone 1,milestone 2 when designing - was more for accounting purposes) but the integration tests are relevant - think I explained the reasoning in the guide

[PieWol]

Alright. @lukastanisic99 I have created a PR for the evaluation.

#1229

There are only a few points I raised and I would appreciate it if you could improve these. Thanks.

[lukastanisic99]

@PieWol I've commented on the PR and pushed changes - also rewrote the article. Please read it and let me know if you have any recommendations to improve it further. I wanted to keep it simple so everyone can understand not just engineers (hope I achieved that).

[PieWol]

Thanks for quickly fixing the little points I raised last week. I'm already looking forward to you establishing p2p gaming and much more with this tech on Polkadot ;)

We noticed that this is the last milestone of your project. Congratulations on completing your grant! 🎊

So, where to from here? First of all, you should join our Grants Community chat, if you haven't already, so we can stay in touch.
If you are looking for continuative support for your project, there are quite a few options. The main goal of the W3F grants program is to support research as well as early-stage technical projects. If your project still falls under one of those categories, you might want to apply for a follow-up grant. However, depending on your goals and project status, there are other support programs in our ecosystem that might be better suited as the next step. For example, projects with a Business Case/Token should look into the Substrate Builders Program or VC Funding and Common Good projects have a good chance of receiving Treasury Funding. If you are looking for guidance, the team at https://substrate.io/ecosystem/square-one/ has compiled a list of ecosystem support sources and are happy to help you navigate it.

For a more comprehensive list, see our Alternative Funding page. Let us know if you have any questions regarding the above. We are more than happy to point you to additional resources and help you determine the best course of action.
Lastly, we hope your W3F grant was a success and we want to thank you for being part of the journey!
