The data is provided if all members of the main NDC Degens team achieve TLS 1. ### Funding Procedures: NDC Degens focuses on the personal performance of each member. At the moment, each member of NDC Degens is working on increasing TLS, which will be assigned to him at the end of January. Based on the results of TLS, a DP (Degen Point) will be assigned to each of the participants, who will determine the amount of remuneration. > **[TLS (Tier LVL System)](https://degens.super.site/tls-tier-lvl-system)** > > Together with the leadership team, a personal Tier system was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of each team member. Everyone received rewards in accordance with their statistics, members who did not achieve the set KPIs in their directions... ### KYC/KYB Each NDC Degens member undertakes to pass KYC in accordance with the NDC/Near policy. # Our plans March 2024. ### Referrals Referral activity will now be the main metric for NDC Degens Main Team. Specifically, the number of active users who were brought to the project via a member’s referral link will be the key metric. We have established new metrics that directly impact a participant’s TLS and allow us to determine the most active and productive participants within the NDC Degens ecosystem. Our focus will be on the following applications: - DapDap - EastBlue - Zomland - HOT - Meteor Each project supports a referral program and the ability to create personal referral links, so NDC Degens will focus on promoting personal links and tracking activity in this area. Regrettably, DapDap does not support the creation of referral links. However, we are addressing this issue through Growgami, which allows for the creation of personal referral links for DapDap. ### KPI’s + 30% The leaders of NDC Degens have decided to increase KPIs in the Twitter direction. All members of the main group were notified that, as of the beginning of the month, Twitter statistics and KPI’s would be increased by 30%. Participants received this information positively, as everyone wants to show new records and bring as much value as possible through their activity. The number of posts and engagement in other areas did not increase. The changes were only in Twitter statistics. | Tier LVL | Metrics | | --- | --- | | 4 | Inactive in Twitter (\<25k impressions), inactive in other directions. | | 3a | Active in Twitter (\>46k impressions, min number of posts 50) + 1 direction | | 3b | Inactive in Twitter, but active in at least two directions, provided that the KPI is met. | | 2a | Active in Twitter (\>78k impressions, min number of posts 50) + 1 other direction | | 2b | Active on Twitter (\>62k impressions, min number of posts 50), performs KPIs in at least 2 other directions. | | 1a | Active on Twitter (\>108k impressions, minimum number of posts 50) + 1 other direction. | | 1b | Active on Twitter (\>94k impressions, min number of posts 50) + performs KPIs in two directions. | | 1c | Active on Twitter (\>140k impressions, minimum number of posts 30) | **Referral Activity** 🟥LOW - \<30 referrals (TLS level reduction) _“If you had TLS1 it will become TLS2 and so on”_ 🟩NORMAL - 30 - 100 referrals (TLS level remains unchanged) 🟨HIGH - \>100 referrals (+1 TLS level) “_If you had TLS2 it will become TLS1 and so on”_ In this way, we will be able to motivate the NDC Degens members to work on improving the performance in the referral program, as well as improve the content they create. > **[TLS (Tier LVL System)](https://degens.super.site/tls-tier-lvl-system)** > > Together with the leadership team, a personal Tier system was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of each team member. Everyone received rewards in accordance with their statistics, members who did not achieve the set KPIs in their directions... ### Selection of directions All members of the main group must choose at least 1 additional direction for themselves. This is done in order to increase the level of engagement of participants and increase the overall impact on the crypto audience. List of directions Twitter (X) is a must-have direction for everyone Targeting - working with bloggers outside the Near Ecosystem CMC - a new direction of comments on the coinmarketcap platform Content - professional content of various types published on social networks ### Content сhanges Now we do not count Repost into account in the NDC Degens statistics, which will allow us to focus only on high-quality content created by members. Also, now only articles, videos and large information threads will be taken into account in the Content direction. These changes make it possible to improve the quality of the content. ### New partnerships. NDC Degens intend to conclude at least 5 more new partnerships and cover a large number of projects and DAOs, now we are negotiating with at least 10 projects and DAOs that want to receive official support from NDC Degens. ### PUBLIC DEGENS ENDS On March 15, we will summarize the results of Public Degens and announce the 2nd stage of this program. ## KPI’s 📈At least 2 million Impressions 📈At least 20k likes 📈At least 10 videos from influencers 📈Minimum 4k link clicks 📈Minimum of 300 referrals 📈Minimum of 5 official partnerships 📈Minimum of 50 participants in Public Degens ## Goals 🎯Referrals 🎯Increase KPI’s by 30% 🎯To summarize the results of the Public Degens campaign 🎯Reward participants 🎯Improve content quality 🎯Stage 2 Public Degens Announce 🎯Create a new stage for Public Degens ## Conclusion In March, the main focus will be working with referral links. We want to achieve outstanding results in working with projects from the Near Protocol ecosystem. The new TLS system, as well as the focus on referrals, will help to achieve the most effective work in this direction. Thank you ❤ ---

Hello team! I support your proposal. My suggestions: - Sign a partnership with NDC’s social media and brand-growing team; work together to amplify NDC / NDC nodes announcements. Vitalik Buterin should know about NDC. - All Degens should add information in their profiles that they work for NDC within Near Ecosystem and Degens DAO; - Pay attention to bringing new founders to Eco. It should be an additional KPI for Degen’s team. With the following proposal: - Do research regarding Degen’s programs in other blockchains and share in a form the report with NDC with the following proposal; - Increase a budget and onboard new Degens;
