# Plans for Funding from this Grant Round

- **Researcher onboarding:** We are currently in the process of onboarding our first cohort of research projects to be a part of our mainnet launch planned for end of May 2023. The exposure gained from a successful Gitcoin grant can help us identify new research groups and DAOs that would like to join our platform.
- **Smart contract audit:** We have thoroughly tested our smart contracts using Truffle and Mocha but have not yet completed a third-party audit from an industry leader like Certik or Hacken. Grant funding would help us ensure that our platform is secure prior to our mainnet launch.
- **Integration of Hypercerts:** We have been closely following the developments of the [Hypercerts](https://hypercerts.org/) protocol and would love to integrate their new SDK into our platform, allowing us to distribute Hypercerts for each contribution to a project on inTheory.
- **Mainnet launch:** It's planned for May 2023, help spread the word!
- **Social media marketing to reach first 5000 users:** Grant funding will help us launch our first marketing campaign, with a goal of reaching our first 5000 users by this fall.
- **Creation of community Discord server:** We need to build out a Discord server that will allow our first users to communicate with researchers, get platform support, and show off their trophies and artworks.
- **IFXT token launch and DAO formation:** The first step in our move towards community governance is the launch of the IFXT token. This will also allow the project to raise funding via AngelBlock's decentralized funding platform as part of their start-up grant program.
