hey @Shritesh99 , you requested a private discussion, is that right? I invited you to an element chat room, but seems like you didn't join. Let me know what's up.

Hi @PieWol, Apologies, I have mentioned Discord as prefered method of communication. I didn't get any invite there.

Unfotunately Discord is not a communication channel that we support. So either element or this PR thread. Shritesh Jamulkar ***@***.***> schrieb am Do. 21. Aug. 2025 um 11:19:

Thanks for the application. I'm already providing some quick general feedback here. It's mandatory to take at least 50% in vested DOTs (see https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program?tab=readme-ov-file#level_slider-levels). The milestones are ideally structured the same way as in the template: https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/blob/master/applications/application-template.md#milestone-1-example--basic-functionality. See also the default deliverables.

Hey @Shritesh99 ,
