After winning a Top Quality Prize at the Chainlink Fall 2022 Hackathon, we received the Filecoin Foundations Next Steps Grant. We prepared by working together to reach consensus on our goals.

Next Steps Grant Proposal: Operation Dragonborn

This is a screenshot from our Next Step Grant Proposal. It lists the 5 key features we will focus on for our first sprint. They are functioning front-end, parsing PDF character sheets, NFT.Storage full NFT metadata, a tested smart-contract, and cloud GPU running stable diffusion.

We began our first team meeting at 10 am on Wednesday, December 14th, and agreed to a 2 week sprint.
