HIGHLIGHTS
- There has been a strong increase in the number of views of our videos. We grew from the 1k view range to the 4k range in the past 2 months.
- We continue to engage in collaborations with other DAOs (Muti, Criatura&Beri) to contribute to more interaction and growth in the NEAR community.
- We are having more traction and requests from other DAOs to document their activities in order to engage and attract more audience in and outside of the NEAR community
- We have finished developing the LENS DAO Brand Kit with Eddie Ivers @ted.iv. We are creating a stronger visual identity that is providing the LENS DAO with more tools to interact with a broader audience inside and outside of the NEAR community.
- Tabea @tabear is now an advisor for LENS DAO stepping down from the council member role. To ensure increasing decentralisation and inclusiveness the LENS DAO is currently looking for someone in the community that fits in the guidelines of the DAO and has the complementary skills to assume a new council member role.
- From within one of our September supported projects we have contributed to onboard more people in the NEAR community: [bukolachidubemm.near], [favortoochi.near], [biggiesquad.near], [bkajagbe.near], [peroadeniyi.near], [sammodgreat.near], [ibukunhorluwar.near], [omosabi.near], [adepelumi.near]
Summary of the LENS DAO activities:
We would like to emphasise once more that we see LENS DAO as a service provider for the community. If a community member or DAO is in need of a video/photography for a specific project, we are happy to support them and create high-quality footage of their project/creative idea. The community member or DAO would not necessarily have to pay for it as our DAO covers the budget for it, as our members will create the footage for them. We see our DAO as helping hands to support the creative community within NEAR and the showcasing of NEAR protocol.
Our DAO is open for more collaborations and also has a studio space available in Cacilhas, Lisbon, which can be used/rented for exhibitions and events. We are also planning on supporting upcoming talents with stipends to help them grow.
