Elevating the Moonbirds name as a tech brand in this space by funding a proposal that will manufacture 6,000 PBTs for this trading card game collectible release. Implementing a trading card collection that will catch the attention of trading card brands and promote Moonbirds. Distributing both a physical and digital version of each card to customers.

These points are further explained in the proposal breakdown: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t4wVD18DVXlAuNIVH4Is7PGt9UBdwzUxWOS91IZhagc/edit

Phase 1: Card Selection
Selecting the 55 Moonbird Legends that will be displayed in this collection. 10 out of 55 Moonbird Legends will be allocated to prominent members of the Moonbirds community. The remaining 45 Moonbird Legends will be raffled in a randomized fashion to all gold nested birds. 

Phase 2: Illustration & Designs
Each Moonbird Legend will be assigned unique gamification statistics. Each of the 55 Moonbird Legends selected will be renditioned by our graphic designer.

Phase 3: Chip Manufacturing & EIP-5791 Creation
Creation of the EIP-5791 contract. Manufacturing of 6,000 NFTC chips. Programming each chipped card upon scan to notify the user that the scanned card is a verified “NFTCG: A Lunar Legend” collectible card.

 Phase 4: Booster Pack Manufacturing & Packing
All PBT-chipped cards are programmed and tied to its unique 1:1 digital NFT card. The PBT chipped collectible cards are organized by rarity, and packed into 1,000 custom foil packs.

Phase 5: Integration, Contract, & Launch
A Metamask payment system that identifies whether a customer is eligible for any discounts, based on the nesting status of any Moonbirds in their wallet. Upon release, the digital pack NFT mint will go live on our website. Users will have exactly 1 week to purchase digital collectible packs from the total 1,000 supply, for .035 ETH a pack. After the 1 week mint period, holders can then burn their digital NFT packs for physical “NFTCG: A Lunar Legend'' collectible PBT packs.

These products are digitally-tied physical trading cards, containing an immutable private key that ties itself to a token on the ethereum blockchain. The benefits in this technology come two-fold with the first allowing for immediate authentication of any physical card. This can be done with the use of any modern cell phone and without any 3rd party application (see image above). This technology also allows for future on-chain interaction in order to play NFTCG within online environments. An online environment would eventually be made for NFTCG if we discover that there is a massive market interest for this technology.
The cards will be offered in the form of collectible booster packs. Each collectible pack will contain 6 NFTCG trading cards.
Each physical trading card will contain an embedded, encrypted near-field communication chip, housing critical information for the EIP-5791 protocol on the Ethereum blockchain. This is so that the immutable private key can be securely stored within each physical card to be traced back to a single trustless contract for verificaiton. Familiar, analogous tech can include a ledger, or any other hardware wallet, to describe this concept. Specific hardware and platforms used:
Hardware: Type 4 Near-Field Communication Chips that are capable of securely generating and storing an ECDSA secp256k1 asymmetric key pair.
These are the minimum hardware specs of the embedded verification chips required to carry out all necessary functions of PBTs. Allows for the physical trading card to be infinitely attached to its digital trading card, legitimizing the purchase of cards through a physical secondary market system. For the sake of clear communication throughout the proposal, we will also be calling these “NFTC chips.”
EIP-5791: The EIP-5791 contract proposes an interface for an EIP-721 NFT to be “physically backed” and owned by the holder of the NFT’s physical counterpart.

NFTCG is a physical & digital trading card game utilizing PBT technology to imprint the $27 billion dollar trading card industry. Asking for a $40,000 loan, we plan on giving every cent back to the DAO, giving featured Moonbird characters royalties, and free 1 of 1 NFT art claims hidden inside some packs from artists we are connected with.

NFTCG is a physical &amp; digital trading card game utilizing PBT technology to imprint the $27 billion dollar trading card industry. Asking for a $40,000 loan, we plan on giving every cent back to the DAO, giving featured Moonbird characters royalties, and free 1 of 1 NFT art claims hidden inside some packs from artists we are connected with.

One potential risk we can foresee is if the “NFTCG: A Lunar Legend” Booster Packs do not sell out upon mint, less funding would be allocated back towards the Lunar Society via the “Return On Investment” section of this proposal.

Author: Hey all, my name is Cyrus. In Web3, I'm known as “Lycaon”. I’m a corporate financial consultant based out of LA. I purchased my first Moonbird on the day of launch, and have been a holder ever since. I eventually worked my way up to owning a top 3% skeleton bird, as a firm believer in the PROOF and Moonbirds brand. NFTCG was originally a Moonbirds passion project, but has grown into something greater. I am the CEO, Chief of Design, and communications manager for NFTCG.

Team: Thomas, also known by the username “Drebin”, studied electrical engineering in Los Angeles and currently works as a sales engineer in industrial automation and the Industry 4.0 space. He will be Product Lead for backend tech implementation as we work on streamlining a manufacturing plan for PBT tech at scale.

Proof Of Concept: NFTCG has a foundation already established for manufacturing, market interest, and supply chain management; a fitting incorporation to the Moonbirds DAO. A limited collection of Generation 1 booster packs were released on November 19th, and sold out 500 packs in 72 hours. 

Recorded Data Points: The average order value was $46.19, or 4.619 packs per order, NFTCG’s first drop had a conversion rate of 10.25%, while average industry conversion rates range from 2-5%. Lastly, 57.9% of customers were located in the United States, resulting in 42.1% of customers being located abroad, highlighting our global customer base.

1) Pudding improves discoverability and awareness of the Moonbirds ecosystem through a curated collecting experience.  This eases the onboarding of new members and  improves continuing engagement with the ecosystem.

2) Pudding can be a revenue generator for the Lunar Society, artists, and the community creators.  Currently, this will be through incremental royalties.  Eventually, we plan to add a nominal fee and share revenue with the Lunar Society.

Here is the game plan, with the assumption that funding is received by 4/1.  Important to reiterate that https://pudding.xyz/ is launched - the game plan below pertains to new product development and loyalty incentives.

4/1 Partnerships, Outreach, and Design - Outreach to community projects, artists, and PROOF team for partnerships with respect to onboarding and loyalty rewards.   

4/15 Gather feedback and complete designs for new features - Prototyping, implementation, testing and roll out.  

5/1 - Begin first rewards experiment.

6/1 - Complete experiment and measure success - Use data and feedback for the next iteration.

6/15 - Next rewards “season” begins.

8/15 - Measure success.  

In addition to this proposal we have the following ongoing work:

1) Externalizing our content and collection management to be self-service for creators.
2) Build awareness of pudding in the broader ecosystem, making it the default place to discover the great community projects and art.
3) Continue to build out the back-end for appropriate image rendering, collection management, and analytics.
4) Adding new collections to Pudding.

What team will you need? – We have a team for building the core features in this proposal. Beyond this team, we are looking for a skilled community builder and operator as well as a founding engineer.

Pudding (built by Mobo) is the community market for the PROOF and Moonbirds ecosystem.  We launched in December, with the encouragement of community members and from the PROOF team.  We provide a curated selection of collections from PROOF, artists who have partnered with the community (e.g., Grails, Moonbird backgrounds), and community builders (e.g., subparliaments).  We have specific features for the community, such as surfacing nesting level, providing direct links to the proof.xyz site for Moonbirds, and improving the discoverability of subparliament collections. We have also supported PROOF Grails, through the Grail Guess competition, where we gave a GraiI to the community member who guessed the highest percentage of artists correctly.
Pudding honors royalties on 100% of orders - even if the underlying listing does not honor royalties we add the royalties to the order.  We also are placing an emphasis on showcasing the complete portfolio of artists, regardless of if the tokens they create are a subset of a smart contract.
In the current environment, there are three key problems 1) Discoverability is difficult - finding work from a single artist or community is time consuming, difficult, and prone to scam 2) Major marketplaces do not add value back to the community or creators 3) Collectors do not know if they are paying royalties or often are not incentivized to do so.  Mobo is on a mission to solve these problems by providing software-as-a-service directly to artists, creators, and communities.
We have received positive feedback from the community so far and have an increased sense of urgency to improve the product.  With the requested capital, we will a) build additional features that are bespoke to the community (e.g, community insights, matching items, loyalty mechanics) b) Provide loyalty rewards to buyers through Pudding, incentivizing collectors and increasing royalty revenue both to the Lunar Society and to the artists and community projects.

Pudding.xyz is the marketplace for everything Moonbirds & PROOF

We have two goals:
1) Deliver a curated collector experience for current  and potential community members
2) Elevate artists and creative entrepreneurs (e.g., Subparliaments) from the community

We are requesting funds to:
1) Build bespoke curation and marketplace features
2) Rollout loyalty rewards for collectors through Pudding

Risk #1: Collectors do not want to collect or list through Pudding because they are worried they won’t see listings on other marketplaces.
Solution: We include aggregated listings from OpenSea, X2Y2, LooksRare, and many other community marketplaces.  Listings on Pudding are also automatically aggregated by OpenSea and aggregators like Gem.

Risk #2: The 0% fees and curated experience is not enough for collectors to want to use Pudding.  
Solution: Collectors are already using our platform.  We expect an endorsement from the Lunar Society as well as further integration with PROOF (e.g., linking from the site) will further increase adoption.

Risk #3: Loyalty reward capital is insufficient for adoption.
Solution: There is a risk that $15k is insufficient.  To mitigate this risk, rewards needs to provide value above the direct monetary value of that capital and marketing distribution.  We will form partnerships  to improve acquisition and retention - ideally with the PROOF team and also with artists and brands.

Risk #4: Royalties are going to zero, anon.  Blur will be the only marketplace.  
Solution: We don’t think this is true but understand the recent narrative and data.  However, missing from the narrative is that  until recently there was not much reason for innovation with respect to royalties - we intend to help change that in a way that is positive for creators and collectors.  We see this as an opportunity for the Lunar Society and PROOF to lead the way.

Pudding.xyz: The Community Marketplace for Moonbirds (built by Mobo)

Rewards ($15k) - Rewards to incentivize royalty paying transactions.  A basic example would be sponsoring a raffle/discount for those who have engaged or collected through Pudding (as we’ve done in the past), but we have more ambitious ideas - for example taking learnings from recent Open Edition games (like Checks) to build a more generalized rewards system.

Product Development ($35k) - Design, development, and operational efforts.  This includes development, design, and implementation of rewards-related as well as ongoing efforts to improve the curation and selection on Pudding.

Revenue - Currently, with marketplace fees at 0% or negative (marketplaces paying for usage), we will not have any fees on Pudding.  However, this environment is temporary - we plan to add a small competitive fee in the future.  We will plan to share revenue from PROOF Collections (Collective, Moonbirds, Oddities, Grails, subsequent PROOF drops) with the Lunar Society.  At current volume (and not accounting for future collections), and a 0.5% fee split, if Pudding achieves just a 3% market share that is $5,000 a month to the DAO.

We do expect additional revenue to be achieved in the future for Pudding through minting and value added services.  However, we do not expect that to be the near term focus - the focus will be improving the product, building awareness and retention, and ultimately generating revenue for the Lunar Society and the community creators (artists, sub parliaments).

Flock is a simple, easy to use iOS app that allows users to find and spontaneously hangout with nearby Moonbirds.
Moonbird holders will be capable of organizing their own hangouts without the Proof team’s permission, as well as take advantage of this freedom, to quickly spin up and get the word out (push notifications) about impromptu gatherings to those nearby, when they are scattered in close proximity, such as, a conference.

Find and spontaneously hangout with nearby Moonbirds through a simple, easy to use iOS app. The barrier to local community formation, is a lack of knowing where fellow members are; Flock makes it simple and easy to connect with Moonbirds in your area to hangout. Flock aligns with Moonbirds’ mission to improve connection and inclusion.

Eventbrite, Discord, or some start up duplicating the product
We will use analytic software (ex: mixpanel) to quickly iterate through features that are undesirable by users. Larger companies experience the innovation dilemma, that prevents them from being so nimble.
We will mitigate this risk by continuing to innovate. Our team is good at forming new ideas and rapidly prototyping them for moving KPIs, leaving copycats in constant catch up, until it is too late. For example; Weebly had a competitor from S. Africa rip their interface off and they were relaunching their site with a new design 2 weeks later.

Tokenproof Dependency
Currently, user retention seems to be dependent on Tokenproof
If Tokenproof decides to compete with Flock, then removing their authentication support, user onboarding will fall off.
We will mitigate this risk by gaining mindshare and trust within the community. Once that happens, we will simply allow users to connect their wallets through the website like Tokenproof does.

Hi! I am Tristan. I grew up in Portsmouth, VA before joining the Navy as a Nuclear Engineer on Fast Attack Submarines. The first two years were professional school, where they take 18 year olds and cram physical engineering in their craniums, night and day, for 2 years (Rightfully so, you literally hold a joystick that operates a Nuclear Reactor.). That followed by 4 years on the Sub.

Then, I went to the Bay Area where I started HeartX, which sought to improve heart disease, as an Uber for Functional Medicine Doctors. Working on HeartX for 3 years taught me relevant skills, like full stack programming and product management. Since then, I have also worked on The Points Guy mobile app and contracts for the government and startups.

I’m a day 0 Proof and MB holder, as well as one of the most active in real life event community members, meaning I understand the problems we have and ideas on how to make it better.

First, It builds brand recognition among non NFT participants, as our customers will see different MBs featured on our coffee bags, and on our website. Second, holders will be given the opportunity to make money by having their MBs featured on our bags or having their MBs featured on other items such as our coffee mugs. At the same time we rely on the Moonbird community to help us build our company. Our designer JPEG.jpg is a Moonbird holder, Our featured MB recieve 1k USD, Plus more.

As stated we are out of the idea phase. We know what we need to do to grow our company/brand, with a strong advertising push for the short term (next 3 months). Our long term plan is to buy supplies to sell our coffee on Amazon. Most NFT related coffee companies sell on their own websites, (as we currently do.) To become the largest and most recognizable NFT related company, we will need to be on and advertise with Amazon in order to sell to their 148.6 million Prime members in the U.S. Ideally we have our Amazon store up and running by May 2023.

We are an Online Premium Coffee Company (you can see our website at Mooncoffeeco.com) We started the idea back in July of 2022 and since then, we’ve worked on our business as an LLC. Our website went live in November, where we updated our website with weekly coffee recipes or NFT artist spotlights. We held a moonbird competition to see who will be our first MB in our bags. C01N and ChewieShotFirst both won and are now featured on our bags and each will receive 1 thousand USD. Our coffee officially launched February 14th, 2023 with two flavors: Dark Italian Roast and Medium Peruvian Roast.

We are an online premium coffee company that wants to on board new people into NFTs through our “Artists Spotlights" blogs and our NFT gallery, both on our website.

Our risks are a lack of customers, and not retaining customers. We are on several social media websites. We use Twitter (@mocococom1), Facebook (Moon Coffee Company LLC), and Instagram (@mooncoffeeco_chi) to get our name out in the public. We have created raffles for Chicago Cubs bleacher seats for those that buy 2 bags of coffee in Feb/March, to get people to buy their first bags. To keep them we are offering 10% discounts for repeat customers. To lean into NFTs, we plan on giving away (free plus gas) NFTs to our customers. This will help build or start their digital collectible collections. 

This is not a side project for me(Richard). This is my full-time, and only job. We are out of the idea phase and selling our product, so we will see instant return based on our actions. Aside from that, I am a long time Moonbird holder and believe in this community, making me a perfect fit for this grant. 
My wife (Alejandra) is an attorney and can be found in the details of our business.

We will use a portion of the money for advertising. We will adjust the amount based on the success of the campaign. We will start to sell Moon Coffee on Amazon. We will have a second run of coffee with different flavors and Moonbirds on our bags. We plan to set aside money to pay for the Moonbirds featured on our bags. We will pay the artists to create NFTs for us, which we will give away to our customers. We are currently generating revenue per sale.

A partnership between the Lunar Society/Moonbird DAO and List3n will be beneficial for artists as well as for both organizations:
- Supporting this proposal will reflect positively on the MB community and is value-aligned in that List3n exists to support artists
- Moonbirds DAO will receive a 16.6% royalty on secondary sales from all List3n passes
- List3n is exploring a structure which would result in a scenario where MB DAO is receiving royalties from music NFTs created by winning List3n artists

List3n is a music-focused DAO with two main goals: to financially support emerging artists in the web3 space and to invest in music NFTs. We are inspired by traditional arts funding programs, but experimenting with a new model which asks: “Can the funding body be replaced with a cooperative group of people who, by way of tokenized ownership, share decision-making power and become stakeholders in all the funded artists?"
List3n will begin by minting a small collection of 444 NFTs in early April. These NFTs will act as a DAO pass for each holder. Once mint has completed, we will begin accepting artist applications. Holders will be given access to a custom-built web backend which will allow them to vote on music submissions. At the end of each month, a winning artist will be awarded 1Ξ. In tandem, holders of the List3n DAO Pass will be allocated a monthly 1Ξ budget to acquire music NFTs which will be held by the DAO treasury.
The List3n artist grant is a monthly no-strings-attached grant awarded to a musical artist who is selected by majority vote as decided by holders of the List3n DAO pass. Winning artists are encouraged to use part of the funding to invest in web3-related activities, but it is not required. Upon announcement of each month’s winning artist, all 444 List3n holders will be airdropped a commemorative token as a way to immutably document their early investment in that artist’s career.
Separate from the artist grant, List3n will be allocating 1Ξ of it’s treasury on a monthly basis towards acquiring music NFTs. Holders of the List3n DAO Pass can contribute to the acquisition process by proposing and discussing ideas in our discord server. These discussions will be informed by a combination of keeping up to date on the music NFT space with regards to new projects and upcoming mints, as well as a shared knowledge of existing music NFTs that are deemed desirable.
As List3n grows, the goal is to establish a reputation for being one of several key resources for artists who are aiming to implement web3 strategy alongside more traditional music industry rollout and release plans. We will also position ourselves as a unique A&R/discovery pipeline. With these main attributes, long-term success will be achieved by way of collaborating with music-adjacent tech companies to extend the financial runway for List3n.

Requesting funding to support 6 months of DAO operations for LIST3N - a DAO which exists to fund musicians in web3 as well as stimulate the music NFT economy. Funds will be used to award ETH to artists (as decided on by members of the DAO) and invest in music NFTs. This proposal positions Proof/Moonbirds as a visible and valued supporter of the rapidly growing music NFT ecosystem.

I would say the only risk at the moment is the potential for the project to not sell out due to market conditions. However, with the help of FWB and Zora backing this project, plus the addition of several other web3 communities of which I am an active member  (Dreams Never Die (web3 record label), Water & Music, CPG Pop and several others) I feel confident that we can get across the finish line in great shape. 

The small collection size of 444 also makes a sellout very much within reach - in June 2022 I launched and sold out a photography-related NFT project with a collection size of 1500, so I am able to lean on my prior experience in promoting a mint and apply it to List3n. 

Finally, my own music industry experience and reach is a huge asset to our project. I have already engaged in multiple conversations with colleagues at major labels who have expressed interest in this project, and will be good resources when it comes to  the promotion and execution of this project.

My journey into web3 began with time spent in the Dreams Never Die and Friends With Benefits communities, and quickly evolved into a passion for using web3 tooling to build a more equitable music industry.

List3n is officially supported by Friends With Benefits and ZORA who have both contributed to the initial build of the project as well as aiding marketing efforts. 

In addition to these official partners, List3n is advised by the following individuals, all brilliant in their own right: Chad Hillard (Dreams Never Die), Paul Tao (IAMSOUND/Friends With Benefits), Jake Stanley (OmgKirby DAO) and Henry Chatfield (Hifi Labs).

Our project will benefit the community in a number of ways:
 
Community engagement and participation - holders get to see immediate progress as well as participate in this expansion.

Comics have been THE major driver of film and TV IP over the past two decades. This is the BEST way to build an entertainment franchise.

Increased attention drives value to holders.

Storytelling is fun. Engaging in the process gives every participant a voice and multiple ways to be part of the franchise.

Teach narrative approaches to pitching holders characters and their stories.

Work with community members to refine their Anthology stories.

---
Simultaneously we will be assembling the creative teams for the Core Series and Anthology. With artists in place, visual development on the Lore and Core Series begins while both are being written.

After the storytelling sessions the community will have the opportunity to pitch their short story ideas for inclusion in the Anthology series. Voting determines which of these is greenlit into production. We then pair those stories with artists who will bring those adventures to life.

With the Illustrated Lore in production, writing the Core Series is happening concurrently. Production on the Core Series begins upon completion of the Lore. 

The final Core Series and Anthology Series is then released in our unique TapStory format on the existing Macroverse mobile app (Available on iOS and Android) as well as in collectible NFT editions on our soon to be released Macroverse Platform (Preview video in the previous section)

We will begin with 4 storytelling sessions within the community which will: Be educational and interactive. Develop and align concepts for the Lore &amp; Core Series. Teach narrative approaches to pitching holders characters and their stories. Work with community members to refine their Anthology stories. --- Simultaneously we will be assembling the creative teams for the Core Series and Anthology.

With the backing of the Lunar Society Macroverse will, in conjunction with the Moonbirds, Mythics and Oddities communities, produce a series of comics that will expand the existing mythology into a compelling, global entertainment franchise.
This will be achieved in three primary ways:
1 - Core Story:
The Moonbirds Comic Series “Core Story” is a six episode season that defines the world of Moonbirds and Mythics. This will be a contained and satisfying tale in its own right, and the first in a planned multi-season arc. This will be released as collectible NFT editions, as well as through our Macroverse app in its proprietary TapStory format. (https://macroverse.onelink.me/VuAp/mv)
2 - Illustrated Lore:
As the Core Story is being produced, we will work with the community to craft and Illustrate the Lore for the Moonbirds/Mythics Franchise. We intend that this become recognized as the official canon for the Moonbirds Universe and paves the way for the third part of our plan.
3 - Community Storytelling / Anthology Short Stories:
We start with live storytelling masterclasses within the community. From there, we help holders pitch and refine stories based on their Moonbirds, Mythics and Oddities. These are then pitched to the community to vote on. The ten stories with the most votes are “greenlit” into production and made into comic shorts with a range of amazing artists. This set of stories explores new corners of the Moonbirds universe, is considered canonical and is released as it’s own collection of NFTs and on our app.
This community storytelling process is one we have successfully done before with the GSA, Bushidos and our own communities. The excitement and engagement it creates delivers on the promise of web3 co-creation within a cohesive storyworld that is broadly appealing. Teasers for some of our work with Bushidos can be seen on our YouTube channel here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbXoYvsuvX6UvsF0RprZoKqD5vbLtwJxX
NFT's super charge digital comics with a power that has been part of the comic experience since the dawn of the industry - Collectibility! Macroverse is the first to create a seamless digital NFT comics experience.

The Moonbirds Comic Series starts with an Illustrated Lore, a compelling Core Series and a community Anthology. These series will be released as NFT comics featuring exclusive art from renowned artists distributed on our next-gen Macroverse app in our unique TapStory format. This sets the stage for expansion into a world wide entertainment franchise designed to reward all participants.

The biggest risk for the project, as with any artistic endeavor, is that the end result won’t resonate with a large enough audience to qualify as a “hit” outside of the core fanbase

The best way to mitigate this concern is to produce a fantastic, broadly compelling series and then get it in front of as many people as possible. This should generate excitement around the series and, hopefully, begin a flywheel effect connecting web3 and traditional media around the franchise. 

Success in this way is also tiered. We might sell out of NFT comics but gain little exposure outside of the web3 audience. Or we might secure a physical publishing deal but not get a film or TV option etc. Every step, however, brings us closer to the ultimate goal of broad enthusiasm, brand recognition and a larger entertainment franchise.

Success will also be measured in terms of community. Significant community engagement, and having a final product that brings joy to that community, can be regarded as a success in its own right.

Building a world wide entertainment franchise is hard. We’ll put the pieces on the board, but all of them have to fall into place to achieve our ultimate goal. So… LFG!

Moonbirds Comic - The Moonbirds Entertainment Franchise Begins here!

A detailed budget is attached.

Broadly speaking, the funding provided by the Lunar Society will be divided into three buckets:

Anthology & community story creation
- Education and storytelling sessions within the community
- Pitch evaluation and story honing for greenlit stories
- Art production for ten short stories

Visual development and Key Art
- Writing the Illustrated Lore
- Visual development for series
- Illustrated Lore art production
- Initial Key Art

Core story production
- Writing Season 1 of the Core Series
- Art production
- Lettering, design and series prep for distribution across multiple platforms
- Multiple unique covers crafted by top artists as part of the NFT edition rarity tiers

---
This initial funding brings us through the production of the Illustrated Lore, the Core Series, and the Anthology Series. The goal is that income generated from sales of the NFTs, licensing, media exploitation etc would then be used to fund additional seasons of the core series and continue to expand the franchise and brand.

In reality, the development costs for a project of this caliber will need $250K-$700K. IP3 is prepared to leverage its own ecosystem of resources and funding relationships. 

A Key of Approval  from the Lunar Society will contribute significantly to the needed optics of having the support of Proof and the Moonbirds community as we move the development forward. The $50K will go towards partially funding the seed phase of development involving legal, trademarking and attaching a major animation studio to the project.
