Project Abstract

Buy with Fiat - Get DOT Cashback for Online Purchases.
Bringing DOT cashback to everyday shopping for Polkadot wallet users.

Grant level

  • Level 1: Up to $10,000, 2 approvals
  • Level 2: Up to $30,000, 3 approvals
  • Level 3: Unlimited, 5 approvals (for >$100k: Web3 Foundation Council approval)

Application Checklist

  • The application template has been copied and aptly renamed (DOT Cashback from Top Retailers.md).
  • I have read the application guidelines.
  • Payment details have been provided (Polkadot AssetHub (USDC & DOT) address in the application and bank details via email, if applicable).
  • I understand that an agreed upon percentage of each milestone will be paid in vested DOT, to the Polkadot address listed in the application.
  • I am aware that, in order to receive a grant, I (and the entity I represent) have to successfully complete a KYC/KYB check.
  • The software delivered for this grant will be released under an open-source license specified in the application.
  • The initial PR contains only one commit (squash and force-push if needed).
  • The grant will only be announced once the first milestone has been accepted (see the announcement guidelines).
  • I prefer the discussion of this application to take place in a private Element/Matrix channel. My username is: @_______:matrix.org (change the homeserver if you use a different one)

Hey @MissMoran ,
thank you for your interest in our grants program.
Currently there is a similar project in development. https://polkadot.com/app
To my understanding the only difference would be that while you allow users to purchase in fiat, in the PolkadotApp users already pay with DOT. The cashback being in DOT in both cases. So I assume that this little difference wouldn't be enough to justify funding such a solution twice. I'd appreciate it if you could point out all relevant differences to the app I mentioned, in case that I'm missing something :)
Thanks!

Thanks for the application @MissMoran in addition to the above comments, could you please add tables to the milestones as shown in the application template? This will ensure consistent formatting and also make it easier to read. Thanks!

Thanks for your answers @MissMoran I have a few additional comments:

  • The address provided seems to be an ETH/EVM address. Could you please provide a DOT address instead? Along with a USDC Asset Hub address?
  • Are you willing to accept 50% payment in vested DOT? If so could you indicate this under total costs? See https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program?tab=readme-ov-file#level_slider-levels
  • The grants program focuses mainly on technical development and not so much the business development side of things. Therefore we typically wouldn't fund the deliverables in milestone 3. This includes the designs, as we usually ask for some initial mock-ups to be provided ahead of time. For this reason, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to remove M3 and reduce costs to bring it down to $55k?

@keeganquigley I replied to your email with all the additional info, but i see now the PR has failed to update due to other review requesting changes. Informing I'm looking into that.

Hi @keeganquigley,
Trying to update our md with no success.
We have reviewed your requests for changes and applied them.
Do we need to add the 'total_milestones' as meta data?
Pleasde advise.

Hey @MissMoran ,
The PR is fine. No need for any immediate changes. We will discuss it internally and get back to you soon.

Hey @MissMoran ,
thanks again for your application and the effort you put into it. Unfortunately, after thorough review, we decided to not support this project. We don't see sufficient benefit for the Polkadot ecosystem by funding the integration into your Cashback system.

It would have been a lot more interesting if this project would also allow for Polkadot token holders to pay in Polkadot directly and still earn Polkadot as Cashback.

All the best for your future projects and integrations.
