# Open Grant Proposal: Onboarding and Indexing World’s Largest Open Datasets for Enhanced Filecoin Utility about devgrants HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello @orvn,

Big thanks for your supportive comment!

Over the past 8 weeks since the initiation of this proposal, we have been exploring multiple pathways of getting the proposal approved. We kicked things off by talking with the "Data Program" teams to get feedback and share our goals. Later, we chatted with Deep, Mara, Porter, Stefaan, and Clara to fine-tune our ideas into a solid plan, with Porter being a huge help in drafting our proposal.

A week ago at the Iceland DEV Summit, @protocolin, @momack2, and I had a great talk about the cool things that could happen if this proposal takes off. We’re excited about the benefits but know that figuring out funding, especially with how the market is now, is a big hurdle.

We want this project to be something everyone supports and benefits from as we work towards our goal: making super important information easy for anyone to access and use on the Filecoin network.

We're fully committed to working through the challenges and keeping the communication clear and constructive. Everyone's support, feedback, and willingness to work together mean a lot as we push forward, aiming to make real progress.

This is a fantastic initiative developed by one of the most active SPs in the community, DSS are resources to support this in a meaningful way upon implementation.

I support this idea. It'd be great to have Open Panda showcase Filecoin's data retrievability end to end.

If this proposal is accepted, happy to support getting the onboarded data accessible on Open Panda (which I was a core contributor to).

HI @herrehesse, thank you for your patience with our review. Unfortunately, due to a shift in funding priorities in this current climate, we will not be moving forward with a grant at this time. If you have any questions for our team, please feel welcome to be in touch at [email protected].

Wishing you the best with your building progress!
