Hi @billybones1 – Thanks for answering my questions and those of others commenting on the forum. I want to note that you have been very open to feedback.
I’ll say something here similar to my reply to Trove Labs/Near at Night and Nearity. For August, MDAO must allocate funding with a focus NDC election and BOS.
Additionally, here’s the reality as I see it:
We have $203K+ in funding requests coming from the community for August
We have ~$46K to deploy
We cannot fund everyone
The funding we can allocate is limited and needs to go to the ecosystem KPIs – which are NDC election and BOS content
I think we may need to reduce funding to a flat rate for this month (I’m thinking $2-2.5K based on the proposals we are reviewing for August) across a number of projects in order to get funding to multiple projects and work together to amplify the ecosystem.
Given the current situation, I think it is likely MDAO will have to limit funding to a grant in a specified amount for the purpose of producing content supporting NDC election and BOS. And then we can reevaluate in the future after the election.
I will accept removing game night funding for a reduced amount of 400USD and the bounties for another 400USD bringing this proposal to 2150USD.
If it gives someone else a chance at a grant, I’m all for it. I’m also open to doing interviews with NDC as well. I was thinking of doing a content creator program with the Heroes platform. If we want to push the elections with a reduced cost, I’d be happy to help in this way.
Let me know what you think about these lowered numbers and initiative to push the elections.
Thanks everyone for the support, I appreciate everyone here and outside of the forums who support games and Near in general. Looking forward to some NDC interview pods.
Hello @billybones1 ! Your application was approved by Marketing (Ecosystem) DAO at NDC. The approved proposal will be included in the following request to NDC Trust, and the trust should authorize it first and then transfer it to Marketing DAO treasure: the expected payment date is the last week of August.
