[Approved by HoM] AC-DAO: NDC V1 MAR Budget Application Version 2

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.

We are focused on long-term partnerships with Pipeflare.

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! Yes, there were some technical issues on the NEAR Forum side, but the problem has been fully resolved and my REPORT has been published - LINK.

Just curious, is there a reason for there being two pipeflair proposals instead of both bring in the same proposal concerning "gaming retention and growth”?.

Seems like everything in the proposal for building out a new game would be included in the theme of gaming retention and growth?

Also, it’s very difficult to evaluate proposals for which there are no links. There’s also a note from January asking for links to be added previously?

Also just general, is there a reason that funding for December is being asked for now? I see the note for it the budget line item, but I don’t see additional details for why or a report for December attached.

We started working on the Dao back in November, but since Hom approved the renumbering for December, we are requesting it now. For example @techdir did all the graphics, but never requested additional funding for that. @YoNota was involved in setting up the ambassador program, and reviewing ambassador applications @Luchok was involved in various NDC initiatives, setting up communication with projects, and infrastructure for grantees. In general, the whole team of ac-dao consuls supported each other in various issues from the very beginning of the project.

a reason for there being two pipeflair proposals

It’s much easier to track two miniprojects than to track one big one. That’s why we decided to divide Pipeflare into 2 proposals

I envy your team, my team on the project I’m working on is very small, only 3. and those two work just to get by, 0 initiative, 0 ideas for improvement or support for ideas for implementation(
