Hi Vlad,

Thank you for the proposal and all the work that you and your team continue to do.

I support this proposal noting that:

  • Russian speaking community represents a massive cohort of the total NEAR community.
  • Russian speaking community has has strong growth, with noticeable participation across builders and even a recent wave of SW participants and new validators.

Keep up the good work.

Hi @Vladislav_vl25 – thanks for the proposal. I want to support this, as I do think the Russian speaking community on NEAR benefits greatly from high-quality content and a team that is working to keep them informed and engaged.

That said, I have a few questions and would like to get some additional detail.

  • You’re requesting $700 for Twitter. Are you creating original content or mostly translating and providing Russian language context to English news announcements?
  • On Telegram, what activities and content will you be creating/sharing with the $1500 funding requested? Also, what is your plan for increasing the membership on that platform? Can you share how you are thinking about growth to achieve these metrics?
  • How do you choose the articles you translate?
  • Of the $500 requested for giveaways, is all of that prize money?

Thanks!

  1. Well, unfortunately, Twitter is not that popular sometimes in our segment, plus there are problems with blocking.

We don’t make any powerful longreads, but we translate important announcements, find news about projects and provide detailed information (as a link to a Telegram group or article).

  1. I think the current focus should be more on keeping current users and giving them the information they need.
    We publish reports from the NEAR Foundation, main events, important news about big projects, and news about another projects(various testnets).

You ask me why?

Let’s be honest. The market is very painfully perceived by many people.
As a guild, we still haven’t received any funding since September.
And 4 months the guild tries to use the available reserves, plus Aurora helps.

In such difficult conditions, only timely informing users, providing them with the necessary information will help this.
And we provide it, while not getting anything yet.
Yes, you voted for the previous proposal, but we haven’t received anything yet.

I also want to note that we had to refuse to work with influencers, our composition has changed, we have refused to work with translators and we translate all the material on our own.

Plan to continue to inform users properly.
I think we have a good performance, against a bear market, a massive fud.

  1. Important announcements in the blog of NEAR, the Foundation, and Proximity are a priority.

  2. Yes, we are planing to use $500 for various quizzes on the blockchain, as well as to try to attract users to our social networks through other events.
