Hey @DarkingLee. Thanks for the delivery. I am going through the deliverables and everything's going very smoothly so far. However, I can't run the e2e tests as there is no ./target/release/e2e (see Makefile). Did I miss some step?

[DarkingLee]

hi, @semuelle , I missed a build command, you need to first run make build-light , I have updated the test documentation.

Hey @DarkingLee. I'm afraid that didn't to the trick:

hi @semuelle , Sorry, my mistake, you should run make build-meloxt , which will build the e2e. I have updated the test documentation.

We noticed that this is the last milestone of your project. Congratulations on completing your grant! 🎊

So, where to from here? First of all, you should join our Grants Community chat, if you haven't already, so we can stay in touch.
If you are looking for continuative support for your project, there are quite a few options. The main goal of the W3F grants program is to support research as well as early-stage technical projects. If your project still falls under one of those categories, you might want to apply for a follow-up grant. However, depending on your goals and project status, there are other support programs in our ecosystem that might be better suited as the next step. For example, projects with a Business Case/Token should look into the Substrate Builders Program or VC Funding and Common Good projects have a good chance of receiving Treasury Funding. If you are looking for guidance, the team at https://substrate.io/ecosystem/square-one/ has compiled a list of ecosystem support sources and are happy to help you navigate it.

For a more comprehensive list, see our Alternative Funding page. Let us know if you have any questions regarding the above. We are more than happy to point you to additional resources and help you determine the best course of action.
Lastly, we hope your W3F grant was a success and we want to thank you for being part of the journey!
