📫 Milestone Delivery Process

The milestone delivery process is part of the W3F Grants Program. You can find the application process here.

⚠️ Before you submit a milestone, make sure it complies with our Guidelines for Milestone Deliverables.

1. Milestone Delivery:
   1. Fork this repository with the same GitHub account that you used to submit the application.
   2. In the newly created fork, create a copy of the milestone delivery template (deliveries/milestone-delivery-template.md). If you're using the GitHub web interface, you will need to create a new file and copy the contents of the template inside the new one. Make sure you do not modify the template file directly.
   3. Name the file project_name-milestone_number.md.
   4. Fill out the invoice form.
   5. Fill out the template with the details of your milestone including a link to the pull request of your application.
   6. Once you're done, create a pull request.
2. Milestone Review:
   1. Evaluators can (and usually do) issue comments and request changes on the pull request. Their feedback needs to be resolved before your milestone is accepted.
   2. Grants Evaluators will merge your pull request to accept the delivery.
3. Milestone Payment:
   1. The operations team receives a notification once the delivery is accepted.
   2. Payment is made to the Bitcoin or Ethereum address specified in the initial application. The exchange rate for BTC depends on the time of payment.

Grant applications can be amended at any time. However, this necessitates a reevaluation by the committee. If your application has been accepted and, during development, you find that your project significantly deviates from the original specification, please open a new pull request that modifies the existing application.

☑️ External Evaluations

As part of the grant program, we allow everyone to participate in the evaluation process of submitted milestones. Successfully merged external evaluations will receive up to 500 USD in KSM, depending on the quality and depth of the evaluation. The payout will be sent to their Kusama identity address.

Requirements

• On-Chain identity on Kusama.
• GitHub account.
• The evaluation must be submitted within 10 days after the milestone was delivered.

Process

1. Fork this repository.
2. In the newly created fork, create a copy of the evaluation template (evaluations/evaluation-template.md).
3. Name the file project-name_milestone-number_your-github-username.md.
4. Fill out the template with the specifics of your evaluation. The higher the quality of your assessment and the level of detail, the higher the KSM recompense.
5. Once you have completed the evaluation, create a pull request.
6. Add a comment or review to the pull request that contains the evaluated milestone delivery. This comment should contain a quick summary of your finding as well as link to the milestone submission.
7. Milestone evaluations are double-checked by W3F Grants Evaluators. Successful milestone evaluations are merged and the evaluator is rewarded with KSM.

You can evaluate as many deliveries as you like. With each successful evaluation, the probability of being double-checked decreases and eventually you'll be added to the list of W3F Grants Evaluators yourself.
