[PROPOSAL #94][PASSED] Fund incentives for the Interchain NFTs Public Incentivized Testnets of Game of NFTs
Change Log • 2022.12.12 - Posted First Initiative Draft - Signal Proposal • 2022.12.23 - Updated to Community Pool Proposal • 2022.12.26 - Added Recipient Address Dear Cosmonauts, I’m Haifeng Xi, CTO of Bianjie and creator of the Interchain NFTs (ICS-721) specification. After the discussion and feedback we had from the community on the Game of NFTs in the last few days, we would like to update the proposal and seek feedback and approval from the community to fund incentives for Game of NFTs Phase 1 Incentivized Testnets, to reward testnet participants. Below is the full proposal. We would like to have feedback from the community and discuss to co-create the event. Summary The Game of NFTs (GoN) is an event proposed as a joint effort by multiple Cosmos teams, aiming to test the Interchain NFTs feature and build applications on top of it, which will have 2 phases: a) public incentivized testnets and b) a hackathon. This event is expected to happen in Q1 2023. This is a community pool spend proposal seeking approval to fund 20000 ATOMs worth of incentives for the Game of NFTs Phase 1 - Interchain NFTs incentivized testnets - to reward participants.…

YEAH! Game of Nodes, Zones, Chains all where a success imo and this kind of extensive testing for the Interchain NFT’s is a nice must-have.
With respect to planning; did you already make a breakdown of steps which need to be taken and prioritized them? I think an Agile approach can really fit here with weekly sprints looking at the very short timing you are trying to get this done (in contrast to the standard 2-3 weeks sprints). Time is short, especially with Christmas period in between…
Thank you for the thoughts! And yes we’ve developed a frame plan covering both two phases, and since the last few weeks we’ve been steadily progressing with communication and collaboration with many community teams, including IRISnet, Stargaze, Juno, Ark Protocol, G-bridge… Also, realizing how critical a reasonable timing could be for the smooth progress of GoN, we’d be careful in choosing key dates and will keep the overall timeline flexible and responsive to the community’s needs.
What are you asking for? Sorry, didnt find that info. Would love to connect. I think we can help each other. How do I reach you outside of here?
Are you looking to add the NFT module to the Hub? Not totally clear what the ask is here.
Like the other comments I don’t understand what this proposal is asking for. As a sentiment check: Game of NFTs sounds great as a way to test out InterNFTs and find any bugs before deploying.
Are you proposing a “signal” of intent to ask for a Game of NFTs incentivized testnet? If so, what role does Cosmos Hub have in this?
Follow the trend, embrace nft, game etc,
Thank you for bringing this proposal up. Would love to see more details on the plan. Cross chain NFTs are the key for the building interoperable metaverse in Cosmos ecosystem.
I’m glad to see this signal proposal being brought up. Uptick Network supports this move, and will be interested in joining GoN in two ways - 1) Testnet infrastructure, 2) application. We look forward to supporting and participating GoN.
Is Interchain NFT specifically related to Cosmos Hub, or it’s general for other chains as well? Thanks.
The Interchain NFT tech has Cosmos SDK and CosmWasm implementations that can be easily adopted by Cosmos SDK Chains or CosmWasm Chains. This game will be all about enriching Interchain user experience and capturing more value for the Interchain & Internet of Blockchains, and it’ll bring universal benefits to the ecosystem, including Cosmos Hub, and others who will adopt this tech.
We agree with this proposal as well
interesting… would love to hear more!
In my opinion ICS-721 is a protocol with the communication layer, and has no direct relationship with contracts or virtual machines. why do you emphasize ics-721 and Coswasm here?
@anjarfa29 There’re two implementations for ics721 including go (cosmos-sdk) and rust (cosmwasm) , and the cross-chain NFT transfers between these 2 implementations have already succeeded on testnets. so it’s easy for both sdk and wasm chains to deploy this feature and enable the NFT interoperability which is bringing huge value to the Interchain.
Interchain NFT must be one of the crucial steps needed after the introduction of IBC. Would love to see more details and work put into it.
Remarkable work! Topped this in my 2023 watchlist.
Very much looking forward to
Very much exited by that .
Btw GATA DAO an NFT project hosted on Stargaze and Teritori will be glad to take part of this !
If you are looking for subjects we are here 
Thank you all for the comments and feedback, the proposal is planned to be submitted on-chain late this week. We would appreciate it if you could take a last look at it and share your opinions on this proposal before it is on chain for voting
Excited to see progress in this direction, would love to participate but not exactly sure about the end results.
Is a project like Uptick also involved?
Would be really cool if all NFT projects would compete with eachother in the Game of Nodes, really showing the strength of the ecosystem and the strength of interchain NFTs.
Is there are way or you guys are putting any effort to spread the word. So people not involved in voting ang governance can learn about it?
I will also maket people interested in governance if they are not doing it now.
hey @bianjie thanks for putting this proposal together. We would like to learn more about the game of NFTs and be part of it. LikeCoin runs Writing NFT on x/nft, serving bloggers and on-board layman users to enter the Cosmos via NFTs.
LikeCoin has been building around decentralized publishing, we started in Ethereum, and moved to Cosmos in 2019 starting our own sovereignty chain. We are interested in providing input to ics721 and the Game of NFT.
Happy to further connected. [email protected]
Yes Uptick project involved and would release their ICS721 deployed testnet during the event
This sounds like a good idea. I’m looking forward to a vote on this.
Although some people are critical on Twitter; the vote is progressing nicely:
mintscan.ioInterchain Explorer by Cosmostation
Interchain block explorer and data analytics for sovereign blockchain networks.
Hey @bianjie!
Excited to see another incentivized testnet in the works. Would you like to connect with the Hypha folks who ran Game of Chains to hear about how it went on the admin side? We’d be happy to pass on our lessons learned 
Feel free to send me a message on TG: @lexaMichaelides
We’d like to sincerely thank the community for your generous suggestion and support for prop#94 and the work 
We just released a draft of the Game of NFTs Phase 1 rules on GitHub, welcome to check out and share with us your ideas for improvement: GitHub - bianjieai/gon-testnets. And we’ll keep broadcasting more updates.
Dear Cosmonauts, Thanks to your support. We’re halfway through the Game of NFTs Phase 1 incentivized testing and would like to update you with some outcomes. Starting with 600+ registrations and assessing suitability of applicants, 191 teams are participating across testnets on 5 different chains now, testing the general interchain NFT transfers, and tackling optimization and adversarial tasks for better performance. It’s awesome to see participants are actively identifying and fixing bugs and vulnerabilities before the technology’s launch, including issues with relay opertaions, various implementation of ICS721, packet relays and more. Our teams are addressing critical vulnerability and have introduced new challenges to defend against adversarial attacks. The community’s valuable tools and solutions are enhancing the user experience and will continue to benefit our ecosystem once Interchain NFTs are fully operational.
