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.

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](https://aurora.dev/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. ---

> [@chloe](#): > > do not have links attached 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 ---

Thank you for your response, one example would be > [@Automated Tournaments for Wordle and 2048](http://gov.near.org/t/automated-tournaments-for-wordle-and-2048/38382/1): > > [Wordle](https://wordleaurora.com) and [2048](https://twenty48.app) are among the most popular games and apps specifically developed for the Aurora blockchain. The tournaments for these games, in particular, have become a focal point of community engagement. Tournaments in 2048 and Wordle generate a huge number of transactions on the Aurora network. However, conducting such tournaments manually is incredibly difficult. The manual process is not only labor-intensive but also limits our capacity to scale these events. Through automation, we aim to… Within this proposal I see a screenshot but I do not see any way for me to assess the project by interacting with it. ---
