What is the status of this?

@Adri sorry to ping you but at a certain point these folks need to deliver what they claim they already had built or else be DQed.
They claimed they already had a complete project built and just needed xGov funds for an audit. They promised the ability to test out the product back in the spring in advance of xGov voting. They didnât deliver that and instead have been kicking the can.
Hi @GhostOfMcAfee, not problem at all, you can ping me any time.
xGov-204 proposal is proactive and for the last round proactive proposals are only paid upon deliverables verification.
Also, the contact is yet to be signed and the team has been unresponsive to emails, which means that at some point in the next month if we canât sort out the contract, weâll have to declare the grant forfeited.

Thanks for your comments. We are not kicking the can, we are just focused on improving our project a bit longer. We have worked diligently on Everyone for a long time, and have not accepted the approved xGov funds, so I hope that there is no big issue here. We are a committed team and our priority is to release a high quality project into the ecosystem.
We will sign the xGov docs asap, but will not accept the funds until we deliver what we promised.
The problem is, you framed this as though you had everything built already and all you were asking for was money for an audit.
You should have had a product to demo months ago. You didnât.
At this point, I question whether you were being entirely honest about the state of your product when requesting funds. Before making a request for funds, I request that you allow someone with the technical knowledge to look at your Github Repo to examine whether you put forward a proposal claiming you had a product, and then waited until after you got funding for an âauditâ to actually build the core of the underlying product itself.
@GhostOfMcAfee donât worry, the funding will be conditioned to the audit being completed. No product = no audit = no funding.

Hi Ghost,
I can understand your suspicion and I also agree that we could have released a working but un-polished product a long time ago. Please note that we did offer to do a walk-through via zoom at the end of May. No one responded to that offer, and I have to admit that we only had a few people sign up for access via the beta site. This was a contributing factor in terms of our decision to keep improving the product, while community interest remained low.
In terms of reviewing our Github repro, we can show the commits, but more importantly, we can access our Vercel build history that will demonstrate a working product long before our funding request. What we have built cannot be knocked up in 3 months.
The primary issues impacting our timeline are the broad scope of our product, combined with feature creep, and a team that is passionate about the quality of the user experience. Additionally we saw competition pop up with another team seeking funding for a launchpad and since then the appearance of rug.ninja. Our product is significantly more sophisticated than a pump.fun clone, but never the less we did worry about giving our new competitors a heads up into our feature set.
Please do not doubt our honesty on this matter, again we have not sought to receive the approved funds, and at this point the funding is a tiny drop in the ocean in terms of the overall resources that have been required to build Everyone.
We are getting very close to our v1 release, we are excited about it and canât wait to have users on the platform.
In terms of a demo, we would rather not do an open access public demo just yet, but we would be very happy to have you and Adri jump on a zoom for a demo next week if you are interested.
The proposal was not promising a âwalk throughâ, it promised a testable product.
I was one of those people, and I do not appear to have received anything to date after signing up.
I hope you will do that, and if it is as you say, then all should be good. My intent isnât to be a jerk, but I think it is natural to become skeptical when months pass without update for a product that was supposed to already be finished. Unless someone is rattling cages and being the bad guy, things slip through the cracks.
