Feedback

Wintermute Feedback) DoG Protocol’s application scored pretty well across most of the criteria. They’re offering unique infrastructure that can be easily leveraged by other game developers on Arbitrum specifically targeted towards increasing game usage and user retention. Their product is highly composable and their distribution mechanism is simple and clear. In contrast, the application lacked clear anti-sybil mechanisms or best practices for protocols looking to set up in-game quests. There is also very little data or available metrics for the protocol given its age on Arbitrum.

We will be supporting this application.

GFX Feedback) This grant plan highlights existing traction for the project, how to scale that with the aid of a grant, and delivers a clear strategy to do so.

GMX Feedback)

DoG Protocol’s application showcased a comprehensive approach, with their SDK compatible with major game engines, simplifying game development for developers. Their strategy involves collaboration with 21 games, aiming for synergy with prominent gaming protocols on Arbitrum, such as Treasure. The allocated funding is intended to bolster user acquisition, enhance game usage, and improve user retention. Their product exhibits high composability, and their execution plan is well-defined. However, there is a noted absence of anti-sybil mechanisms, and we encourage the inclusion of additional metrics for monitoring performance and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Despite these considerations, we extend our endorsement for DoG Protocol’s application.
