Note : We were supposed to go through events bounty however there seems to be some issue with the application form (Form 1) of extra ordinary events, Form 1 is currently inactive hence leaves us of no choice other than taking treasury route since we have very less time for preparation and we cant afford to delay anymore.
Due to time constraints, we will expedite the submission of this proposal on-chain. Thanks for understanding the urgency and we look forward to everyone support to make this happen.
