[Approved by HoM] AC-DAO: NDC V1 APR Budget Application

Introduction

AC-DAO officially joined NDC on November 29, 2023, as a community-led project in the ecosystem category. Our mission is to facilitate the transition to the Near Digital Collective (NDC) through decentralized governance. Positioned within the NEAR and Aurora ecosystems, AC-DAO strives to empower a transparent community. This budget proposal aligns with NDC’s goals for equitable power distribution and the adoption of decentralized technologies, outlining our commitment to these objectives.

The most significant is the partnership with Aurora Labs. We have weekly calls on which discussing existing projects, generate ideas and plans for integrating the Aurora Network into third-party applications. Aurora Labs also provides us with applications or projects at the development stage for further research in support of these projects by AC-DAO.

Hello team! Thank you for your efforts to support Aurora Ecosystem. I am happy to approve your proposal.

My suggestions:

  • all developers who got funded from Aurora DAO should say about it in form of a) posts in their social media b) add a logo on their websites (NDC / Aurora Community DAO / Near)

With the following proposal:

  • Reach out to Aurora Eco dapps (Ecosystem) to find ways to support them if needed. The outcome will be a spreadsheet with Eco app/status/support needed / budget;
  • Add all existing and working Dapps on DappRadar;
  • Invite at least three founders from other EVM-compatible blockchains to NDC (Aurora Community DAO) to build on Aurora;
  • Create an Airtable for all potentiall EVM-compatible dapps developers who would like to get support from Aurora Community DAO
  • It would be great if Pikespeak team will be supported with the next proposal (Aurora integration). Please increase a budget if needed (up to $75,000). It will be big win for NDC and useful for Aurora Ecosystem.
  • The House of Merit can also consider direct requests from individuals up to $75,000. Please feel free to use this option where needed.

Thanks!

The majority of the proposals I am checking do not have links attached. Can you please instruct groups to add links?

As a HoM member, I find it very difficult to evaluate just text without links to at least the projects and work done.

Thanks for the comment. But as far as we know all possible links are active. They are available everywhere. The only thing is that links may not be active for new projects, as they are recently presented on the forum, the forum does not allow you to attach links and pictures.

We really ask that you point out where there are no links, we will be sure to fix that. Thank you
