Hey Kurtis!
A lot do deal with, han.
It is indeed a complex project, but we (and the Near community at large) can certainly help you with some of the stuff, when the time is right. Creating a DAO and playing with governance seems like a logic step, but I’m sure there are things we can do, together, in the meantime.
In this forum you find the existence of what are now being called ‘verticals’: Creatives, Marketing Education, etc. More will come in the future, and they all serve the purpose of engaging with the community and supporting whatever projects are being built.
You can see, under the Creatives umbrella, the nft-gaming-dao NEAR Gaming - NEAR Forum. I’m not sure how that DAO is working these days, but I’m sure we can find someone for you to talk to.
However, as a VR DAO council member, I can give you some information which can help you make a clear picture of what to do next and how to do it.
The VR DAO, working under the Creatives DAO, receives funding to support VR related projects. So, as we ask for our funding on a monthly basis, we require those who ask us for support to do the same. You can find the information about this process here:
-
http://gov.near.org/t/guide-how-to-apply-for-funding-from-the-virtual-reality-dao
-
http://gov.near.org/t/guide-how-to-write-monthly-reports-for-the-vr-dao
The normal procedure is to request funding on a monthly basis, then report on that month’s activities, rinse and repeat.
Since the max funding the VR DAO can request from the Creatives DAO is 2000N and that has to be used to support a number of projects, it is reasonable that the funding request for each project is only a % of the max total.
So, if you find a way to create a reasonable proposal, explained in a month to month to month roadmap, we can find ways to make it work.
Of course it’s not our place to fund the entirety of the project, but we can be a boost.
Plus, there are already ways of, using the work that is being done, pursue sources of revenue. You talked about selling ‘car-nfts’. That seems something we can fund easily and sell on our Mintbase store (or help you create your own store, for that matter, or just do both).
Using our social media channels, we can help you sell your cars and even maybe create a funding campaign.
These are just some thoughts, and I’m sure as time goes by others will come in and suggest cool ideas to support your project.
Let’s keep the ideas flowing, shall we?
