[PROPOSAL] Project 1 Rok the Blok “Near Community” Sponsorship
Hosted by the animated version of DJ/producer Jon Blok. This late-night style talk show features web3 creators and their amazing projects. With 1.5K - 2K views per episode on YouTube, the show is well-produced and a great way to spotlight the Near community in an exciting and highly entertaining way.

(Episode in production)
Funded episode 03: Pending
Funded episode 04: Pending
NOTE:
Our guests for the 2 remaining episodes have to be replaced because of their current standings within the Near community. It’s come to our attention that some members are still in the process of repaying funds owed to Creatives Dao.
As a result, we’ve decided to postpone the release of their interviews until those matters have been resolved within the Near community. We will be selecting new creatives to interview who do not have any current account balances due and are in good standing with the Near community overall.
Our expected outcomes are on track
Showcase Near creators on a YouTube show with 1.5K - 2K views per episode
Increase engagement with Near projects for a brand-new audience
Inspire the Near community to showcase their projects outside of the Near ecosystem
Release 4 episodes of the show featuring Near creators exclusively
Produce informative and engaging videos. Mix educational content about Near Blockchain with entertaining elements related to music and entertainment.
Make sure the video is well-paced and visually appealing to keep viewers engaged.
Create eye-catching thumbnails that accurately represent the content of videos and entice viewers to click. @jonblok

[PROPOSAL] Project 2 BeatDAO on Finger Drumming Indo
Description
MPC finger drumming refers to the practice of using an MPC (Music Production Controller) to create drum patterns and beats by tapping on the pads with your fingers. The MPC is a hardware device or software application that allows musicians and producers to sequence and manipulate samples, particularly drum sounds. Finger drumming on an MPC involves using your fingers to trigger different drum sounds and create rhythmic patterns in real time. It is a popular technique used by DJs, producers, and live performers to add dynamic and expressive drumming elements to their music.

[PROPOSAL] Project 4 BeatDAO African Dance Music Instrumental EP
It should come as no surprise that dance music has so much value in the globe. It cheers you up, keeps you motivated, and essentially aids in academic work as well as other goal-related tasks like cleaning the house or going to the gym.
A lot of producers need to drop instrumental projects and this is a way of encouraging and inspiring emerging producers to go out of their heads and drop music for themselves and for the fans that listen.
Producers shouldn’t limit themselves to only making songs for artists.
Drawing inspiration from Producers like Juls, Masterkraft, Sarz, TmXO, and Krizbeatz, just to name a few, this project aims to increase the awareness of African Dance Music as a genre and uplift African music.
It is going to be an Instrumental EP. With heavy African influence and elements. It is going to be a movie expressed in music. It would be available on Mintbase, paras, and other digital streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc) to be released under the BeatDAO collective using Ditto Music Label plan for $45/Year.
Expected Outcome
Collaboration among Producers: Foster collaboration within the web2 space and introducing producers/instrumentalists to the web3 music communities.
Community Engagement: Provide a platform for Producers and Fans of African Music to learn about and engage in online discussions about Web3, by planning gatherings, workshops, and online forums. Motivate community members to work together and exchange expertise.
Collaborate with Web3 Projects: Collaborate on Web3 projects, particularly in the African dance music domain. Make contact with a group of music producers who share your interest in this area.
Expected Outcome KPIs:
-
Expected number of new near wallets: 20 -30
