tl:dr: 1 ETH for a Purple x The Lobby collab to help fund trivia and other games for 3 months in The Lobby (accessible via any snapchain and hypersnap clients with mini apps eg FC client AND Quorum) with special experiences and bonus prizes for Purple members.
WHAT IS THE LOBBY?
The Lobby is a Farcaster mini app and community built by @burr.eth and @plants.nft. Projects bring a token, and they turn it into games real people play every day: poker, live trivia, fantasy sports, brackets and word games. A grant keeps those games going and brings more projects' tokens to verified humans, in whichever app they use. Every player passes a human check, and every payout is public on Base. Here is what they've done so far:

HOW DOES THIS MEET THE PURPLE MISSION AND HOW WILL PURPLE BENEFIT?
Purple was founded to support builders on Farcaster. This feels like a perfect fit! In addition to supporting two builders who have dedicated a lot of time to the community, most of the funds will circulate back into the community as prizes for trivia and other games, which is accessible on both the original FC client as well as alternative clients that support mini apps like Quorum.
Purple members who play will qualify for special prizes (details tbd - working out how to recognize members on all platforms since DAO members are likely holding their tokens in external wallets) and the team will be creating experiences to thank you when you log in. Purple branding will be added for all games sponsored by Purple.

A note from Prof: I am not on the team and all funds go directly to them, but I've been playing trivia and various other games in The Lobby since it launched as Betr with Burr and it has been touchstone of activity for many participants hence why I'm sponsoring this prop. I'd love to see more folks playing as it's a fun way for the community to come together, including a chat that exists independently in the mini app. Those quick breaks to play trivia are a fun part of many folks' day and I'd like to see it continue.
This prop will help the team continue to build out experiences and provide prizes for three months while they seek out other sponsors to continue the fun, replacing the large hole left by the wind down of Betr. Approximately 75% of the funds will go directly towards prizes and circulate back into the community.
