[APPROVED] Aurora ES Near community. - September, 2023

Hello NEAR fam! We are Aurora ES Near community.

Our Project

In the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology, the NEAR Protocol and Aurora have emerged as powerful platforms with the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the digital world. At the heart of this transformation lies the need for education and awareness, especially among grassroots users who may be unfamiliar with the intricacies of Web3 and blockchain systems. That is why we are Aurora ES Near (Aurora ES(Spanish) Near) community.

Our community builders team is dedicated to addressing this need, and we are excited to present this grant proposal to embark on a mission of education, awareness, and engagement with NEAR Protocol and its ecosystem in the Spanish-speaking community. Our goal is clear: We aim to onboard new individuals into the world of NEAR, guide them through the process of creating wallets, and empower them to interact with web3 technologies.

To achieve this, we propose the creation of a monthly course designed to demystify the concept of the Blockchain Operating System (BOS) and enable participants to perform simple tasks within this ecosystem. This hands-on approach will not only enhance their understanding but also provide them with practical skills to navigate the platform confidently. As a testament to their participation, we intend to reward all course attendees with POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol) tokens, utilizing platforms (like Shardogs or keypoms for NFTs), to further incentivize engagement and learning.

Beyond educational initiatives, we understand the importance of keeping our community informed about NEAR and its evolving ecosystem. Therefore, we pledge to provide regular updates and news in Spanish, ensuring that the Hispanic community remains well-informed and actively engaged.

By fostering education, awareness, and involvement, we aspire to strengthen the Spanish-speaking community’s connection with NEAR Protocol and Aurora. We believe that this initiative will not only benefit individual users but also contribute significantly to the growth and vibrancy of the NEAR ecosystem in the Latin region.

We humbly request your support in making this vision a reality. With your assistance, we can empower countless individuals to embrace web3 technology, opening new doors of opportunity and innovation. Together, we can shape a future where NEAR Protocol and its ecosystem are accessible to all, regardless of their prior blockchain experience.

Dear @ramgor ! Thank you very much for your outstanding work for Aurora/Near Communities. Despite grants being paused, you and your team continued to educate the community and execute tasks related to increasing UAW and transactions. Because you and your team work, we have a strong Aurora/Near Hub in South America. Due to the NDC Voting Fair policy, as one of marketing DAO council, I must abstain from voting this month.

Thank you for your proposal and the outstanding work of this community of OGs in the ecosystem.

Your proposal aligns with our September KPIs and goals.

I like the idea of creating crash courses for beginners. This will help attract more devs and enthusiasts to the ecosystem. “we propose the creation of a monthly course designed to demystify the concept of the Blockchain Operating System (BOS) and enable participants to perform simple tasks within this ecosystem. This hands-on approach will not only enhance their understanding but also provide them with practical skills to navigate the platform confidently”

Happy to support your proposal and look forward to your reports.

I appreciate your support and comments!
This becomes a commitment that we happily assume towards the Spanish-speaking community and our ecosystem.

  1. Fill out the form to pass KYC

Should I do the KYC if I already have it from fractal (less than a Year) and received funds with the same target wallet ?
