Travel Funding for NEARCon Metaopoly Multi-DAO Collaboration Event
Hello NEAR Community!
After The Kin DAO x Primordia DAO’s successful event in NFT.NYC where we distributed 103 wallets, 153 NFTs, collected 246 emails, and distributed 320 tickets, we would like to propose to receive support for our Metaopoly Multi-DAO Collaboration Event at NEARCon!
This proposal to the community is to request for travel funding to NEARCon to support The Kin DAO team of 5 in travel expenses, enabling us to successfully host this event, and sponsor NEARCon tickets to the collaborating DAOs participating in this event.
Goals & Objectives:
The Kin DAO provides onboarding education to existing social good projects, uses creativity to shift collective value systems, and develops regenerative systems that can be implemented both on the blockchain and in real life. Our project intends to collectively purchase farm land where we can implement, practice and refine our For Product Model. The For Product Model is a system created by our co-founder @Patrick-T-Anderson , where communities can trade work in exchange for land ownership using NFTs and our developing token EarthChange as tools in our decentralized governance structures. Our long term goal is to use blockchain technology to construct real life, decentralized systems where living communities can produce self sustainable micro economies. To help us better explain the For Product Model, our team has been developing a game called Metaopoly. Metaopoly is essentially the opposite of Monopoly where participants use collaboration and shared ownership to achieve success.
Metaopoly is a cross collaborative DAO educational event organized and hosted by DAOs operating on NEAR at NEARCon. The intention is to expand awareness around the established creative DAOs contributing to the NEAR ecosystem while merging different communities through educational play.
Metaopoly will be introduced to the NEAR community while simultaneously educating guests through play. During this event the Metaopoly game will be simplified and curated to reflect DAO functioning on NEAR. A life sized game board at the physical event will be created alongside a digital game board in The Kin DAO NEARhub space. This will create an opportunity for guests to enjoy the game while learning about DAOs. Other established DAOs on NEAR will participate in the event through game play, opportunities for speaking introductions and hosting booth spaces to educate and engage with guests.

Where: Lisbon, Portugal
When:
- Travel Dates: September 3rd - September 16th
- In order to accomplish our events, we like to arrive at minimum on week before an event to get settled, understand the environment, walk the venue and get all of the supplies needed. (Sept 3rd-Sept 10th) Then we would like to attend NEARCon and any other events associated with it afterwards while giving us adequate time to rest and prepare to travel home (Sept 11th-Sept 16th).
- Event Date: September 10th, 1pm-6pm
Impact:
NEARCon is the biggest NEAR event of the year where thousands of NEAR community leaders gather in one space from around the world. We believe it is important for established creative DAOs that have been operating on, supported by, and contributing to NEAR should have a presence at this gathering. While our contributions are vast, we feel that our presence in the NEAR ecosystem could be far greater and this a step in making that happen. Through this event, we offer the opportunity for different NEAR communities from varying background to connect, understand one another and learn about DAOs together.
Target Audience: NEAR Natives & Newbies attending NEARCon who are interested in learning about DAOs.
