hi! thank you for your questions, that allows us to tell more about the project
firstly, this proposal is the continue of previous submission and we’ve returned following the advise:
so we did directly that
- only one proposal has been approved - for Creatives DAO in May
[APPROVED] Monthly funding D-LAYER (United Belarus DAO) - May 2022
that i’ve mentioned above:
the report is coming on days
mostly the work of individual consultations with artists whom we plan to onboard is going on, with creating creative proposal for June with their participation.
it works like a snowball - starting from small, that shows example for others, then they are joining one by one and the ball becomes big. few artists have already start to participate in projects of NEAR ecosystem, like here and here
and for building and growing the community we’re creating a basement - social media channels, the common place where we can communicate with artists and share opportunities, giving guides and answering questions. where to gather them if not in Telegram?)
then - we’re presenting NEAR Protocol to the artists who live almost in Europe - it’s quite a responsibility, it isn’t some small individual organization that can invite to the group without manager and visual identity, as we feel. all the channels has to create trust and the value for artists towards NEAR.
also we see a number of very small DAOs here, who even don’t have 100 members in socials but with 5000$ approved proposals for marketing month by month. with the same approach - to start with small but to create good quality from the start we focused on them when creating a plan of development
- exactly for working on growing community, adding there active members - it needs a lot of communication work of several people (4 of us is actively working on it). probably it’s not evidently, but on the 1st stages it needs much more work to clarify details about blockchain, web3, NFT, metaverse etc than when community consists of people who are already in it
we understand your doubts very clearly ,
if you haven’t hear nothing about Belarus, you can’t imagine what is going on there. don’t feel like to storytelling here about last 15-years history, but the number of artists there is not less than in Portugal or Nigeria:)
the draft-list of our personal contacts of just musicians is here:
for example, one of the onboarding project we’re preparing for the next month is with Shuma band
- almost 5000 followers in IG
https://www.instagram.com/shumaby/ - 4,177 follows in Facebook
Redirecting... - 2700 followers in Soundclod

because of political situation (dictator regime since 1994) last year she doesn’t live in Belarus (same as lots of other belarusian artists) and there’s no concert or other activity the band can perform for its fans. with NFTs and metaverse parties this problem can be solved in a new way , it gives hope and perspective to artists and their devotees )
we’re open to correct any funding details but in general we’re kindly asking to support belarusian artists to be joined to NEAR family
