+* **Application Document:** https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/blob/master/applications/cryptex.md
+* **Milestone Number:** 3
+
+**Context**
+
+The Etf Network is a Substrate-based blockchain that utilizes identity-based encryption and zero knowledge proofs to enable "encryption to the future", or timelock encryption. It uses a slot-based consensus system as a reference clock to which messages can be encrypted. The initial implementation uses a fork of Aura to implement a proof-of-authority version of ETF, where authorities are IBE master key custodians. Valid blocks authored in future slots contain the corresponding secret keys. To put it another way, each slot has a unique, publicly calculable identity, and whenever a block is authored in that slot, the identity owners leaks their secret key.
+
+In the third milestone we deliver an initial use case on the etf network, a second-price sealed-bid auction NFT platform. The auction takes advantage of the timelock encryption implemented in the previous milestone to seal bids for auction participants.

+**Additional Information**
+
+- in the [previous milestone delivery](https://github.com/w3f/Grant-Milestone-Delivery/pull/985), we discussed some potential optimizations of the encryption scheme. Rather than expand the scope of this grant to include this optimization (likely requiring an ammendment and re-approval), we opted to include it in the next phase of the project.

+
+* **Application Document:** https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/blob/master/applications/Eiger_Storage_on_Polkadot_1.md
+* **Milestone Number:** 1
+
+**Context**
+
+Our main goal is to describe how to implement and maintain a Filecoin-like system parachain -- a parachain that uses DOT as the native token and is easily usable for all kinds of parachain projects in the ecosystem via XCM.
+
+We also update [research done previously](https://github.com/common-good-storage) to reflect the latest technical changes in Polkadot and Substrate. We wanted to figure out what it would take to implement a whole storage solution as a parachain without depending on 3rd party chains and evaluate what components need to be written from scratch and what can be reused.

+
+#### Testing Guide
+
+This section outlines the testing procedures and environments used for the Lastic platform, focusing on the deployment and responsiveness across various devices and browsers.
+
+**Testing Environments:**
+- The `main` branch deployment, visible at [test.lastic.xyz](https://test.lastic.xyz/), has not been extensively tested for responsiveness.
+- The official [Lastic website](https://www.lastic.xyz/), deployed from the `stable` branch, has undergone comprehensive testing across multiple platforms.
+
+**Testing Tools and Platforms:**
+- The testing process utilized [BrowserStack Live](https://live.browserstack.com/) for cross-browser and cross-platform verification.
+- A range of devices and operating systems were included in the testing to ensure broad compatibility.
+
+**Tested Platforms and Browsers:**
+- **MacOS:** Tested with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Brave (all latest versions).
+- **iPad:** Tested with Safari and Chrome (all latest versions).
+- **Android Phone:** Tested with Chrome and Firefox (all latest versions).
+- **iPhone:** Tested with Safari and Chrome (all latest versions).
+
+**Testing Focus:**
+- Primary emphasis was on assessing mobile responsiveness and ensuring consistent user experience across different devices.
+- Checks included verifying the absence of unintended behaviors or display issues.
+
+**Current Priorities:**
+- While mobile responsiveness is important, the current focus is on enhancing interactivity with the Coretime chain.
+- Future updates will aim to improve responsiveness and overall user experience.
+
