AI Evaluation Feedback
Overall, Funtend presents a compelling and well-thought-out vision for integrating AI, NFTs, and SocialFi into the fashion industry with a strong focus on sustainability and Polygon. The problem is well-defined, and the solution is innovative. The team has relevant experience, and the technical architecture is sound. Areas for improvement and consideration: * **Milestone Granularity**: M1 (AI tool, NFT contracts, SocialFi marketplace for 40k POL) is a significant undertaking. Breaking this down into smaller, more measurable sub-milestones could provide greater clarity. * **User Acquisition Details**: More concrete details on the go-to-market plan for acquiring initial users and scaling would be beneficial. * **Competitive Landscape**: Briefly addressing the competitive landscape and Funtend's unique differentiators could strengthen the proposal. * **Cross-Chain Vision**: Elaborate on how Funtend specifically plans to *extend* Polygon's cross-chain capabilities beyond leveraging Polygon for its own multi-chain reward system. The Agg Layer mention is good; more on this would be valuable. * **Advisor Engagement**: Clarify the specific roles or contributions of the NFT & Fashion Industry Advisors. * **Transaction Volume Realism**: Provide a more detailed breakdown of how the projected 50k monthly transactions will be achieved.
