Following conversations with both NDC, NF and MDAO Advisors, MDAO focused on updated KPIs for September MDAO September KPIs. This month, we are focused on supporting projects that can demonstrate the following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
- Increasing numbers of active Developers
- Increasing numbers of active Users and Transactions
- On-chain onboarding
- On-chain engagement
- On-chain participation in ecosystem dApps
- Increasing numbers of Tools, dApps on BOS
- Increasing the number of people educated about NDC governance, BOS, and active projects in the ecosystem
As a reminder, here is the current MDAO schedule for monthly review and funding of proposals. As we move through the review process each month, note that we may elect to close or postpone proposals when we have inadequate information or outstanding questions and requests at the close of the review period:
- 1st - 10th - time submit your proposals;
- 10th- 15th - reviewing time by councils and advisors;
- 18th - MDAO will send a funding request to NDC trust;
- 19th-30th - KYC (for new applicants) and payments.
As you prepare and submit your proposals, we wanted you to be aware of these timeframes.
MDAO approved the funding request to the NDC trust:
According to the NDC Fair Voting Policy, MDAO councils and advisors who are running for NDC governance seats abstained from voting in September’s funding round.
Additionally, we are glad to inform you that Marketing DAO within Near Foundation Grassroots support initiative approved four proposals from applicants who filled out the form and one proposal was postponed to October.
