The specific problems we aim to solve with this grant include enhancing our technological infrastructure to improve user experience and functionality, particularly for developers, visual artists, and stakeholders involved in coral reef conservation. We will measure our success by evaluating the platform's usability, the level of engagement from stakeholders, and the impact on coral reef conservation efforts.

To achieve these goals, we will allocate funds towards developing user-friendly web2/web3 DAO tooling and enhancing our decentralized science (DeSci) tool and web3 application. This will democratize decision-making processes, promote inclusivity within the community, and provide financial opportunities for researchers and stakeholders.

In terms of education, we will create a dynamic metaverse for stakeholders to immerse themselves in educational experiences related to coral reef conservation and DeSci principles. This will help enhance their understanding and awareness of these important issues.

Lastly, we aim to have a positive social impact by implementing profiles with attestations to build trust among community members and empower stakeholders to actively contribute to coral reef conservation efforts. Through these efforts, we believe we can make significant strides in advancing coral reef conservation and promoting sustainable practices in the Mesoamerican region.
