Hello, team! Thank you. I am happy to support your proposal.

My suggestions:

  • all NDC DAO developers/founders who got funded from NFT DAO should talk about it in the form of a) posts on their social media, b) adding a logo on their websites (NDC / NFT DAO / Near);

With the following proposal:

  • do research about the current status of NFT development / Collections in Near and Aurora Ecosystems in comparison with other top blockchains;
  • Reach out to NFT founders within Near/Aurora Eco to find ways to support them if needed. The outcome will be a spreadsheet with Eco app/status/support needed/budget;
  1. Paras
  2. Mintbase (has own grants program)
  3. UniFat
  4. toFUNFT
  5. Gena Drop
  6. Bodega
  7. Bazaar Marketplace
  8. Picipo
  9. OpenBiSea
  10. UniqArt
  11. RARE GEMS
  12. The Auction (what is the status @Monish016?)
  13. Naksh
  14. Nativo. art
  15. Marble
  16. Sora. art
  17. 3six9
  18. ghostNFT
  • create an NDC artists community. Can be in form of new DAO (NFT artists DAO ?)
  • invite at least three top NDC artists to NDC

The House of Merit can also consider direct requests from individuals up to $75,000. Please feel free to use this option where needed.

Thank you!
