[Salbiero]

Name: SUREBLOCKS.IO
Description: The proposal is designed to make the products that people use daily (such as clothes or food or electronics) so that they can contain an algorand nft and authenticate the originality of these products, and thus generate more users for the algo network and contribute to mass adoption.
Companies that accept this have a solution to the problem of piracy, smuggling and even against theft.
Each product will be traceable, it can be segmented by country to avoid contraband and also the nft will certify the authenticity of the product.
We already have serious approaches with wineries in Argentina, to incorporate nft to each bottle of wine. We have presented the proposals and we are starting to put together a dapp.
Sureblocks will be a symbol of safety for people. It could even be incorporated into medicines.

Name: Algo Community Collab - 3D Game NFTs
Description: Ever imagined Al Goanna, COOP or MNGO as a game character in Cosmic Champs game PVP battle arena? So did we! There is plenty of Algorand projects that are great fit for our game setting. Unfortunately it's cost prohibitive for us to do such fun collabs as making a fully animated, game ready 3d NFT takes lots of resources. If funded, we will create and distribute these NFTs for free to help promote Algorand projects to our players and our game to the Algorand community. win-win
