### Evrloot Game Funding Request

- **Evrloot** is an RPG game based on RMRK NFTs on the Kusama network.
- The game has over 120 active players and starts around 2000 missions daily.
- Evrloot has minted 90% of all existing RMRK NFTs on Kusama, mostly as rewards from missions.
- Recent fee changes on Kusama have increased costs by a factor of 10, making the game unsustainable.
- The game requires 333 KSM to cover gas fees for one month until migration to Moonbeam.
- Players would face high costs to play without funding, up to $22 per day for some.
- The community voted to support the funding request, which would keep the game running until migration.

Evrloot, the first RPG based on RMRK NFTs, is requesting 333 KSM from the Kusama Treasury to cover the increased gas fees that resulted from recent changes in fee calculation. The funding would last for approximately one month, during which time the game would continue to operate until it migrates to Moonbeam. The KSM would be used to pay the gas fees required to keep the game running, and the entirety of the funding would go back into the system.
