DAO introduction
A. It started as a collaboration track under DAO Records and the NxM guild. It quickly shifted gears when learning of each other’s passion for philanthropy and community. A group of artists wanting to help other artists.
C1 released its first AudioNFT entitled “Baboon” and pledged to give 30% of proceeds to help the less fortunate.
The idea was to give other creatives the same opportunity we were provided with in terms of creating art, being taught to navigate an ever changing industry, and earning revenue.
B. C1 Foundation is composed of a dedicated team and blockchain enthusiasts who believe in how the technology can change life and the society positively. This has led to creating enormous value to the community and beyond through both individual and collective effort.
Since then the C1 guild community has partnered with Shinygloves club ( https://www.shinygloves.club/ )in deploying physical classrooms in Jos,Plateau state for creative and blockchain education including creative workshops through the C1tv creative workshop. Utilizing funds generated through the sales of NFTs, C1 will give artists a home. C1 will provide opportunities for creatives and would be of help to creatives to bring their art to life, and give the unheard a voice, with the idea to monetize through the sales of NFTs. C1 will set up recording and art facilities for people who normally would not have access to them, and provide the guidance and knowledge to produce works of art and monetize through the blockchain. This will provide the creatives with the necessary tools to see their artwork through to completion. It will be a way for at risk youth and the less fortunate to express themselves in a safe creative space, while educating them on the future of the art and entertainment industry, while generating revenue sources. It will be a way to feed revenue back to C1 in order to scale up and help more people. C1 will go neighborhood to neighborhood, city to city, and beyond. The idea is to onboard already existing traditional NGOs and partner with them on web3, blockchain and NFTs education while giving back 30% to the DAO to develop other classes through the C1 creative workshops and potential partnership with the intention of catching them young and mass adoption.
Our project is addressing inclusivity of blockchain in NGO system of transparency and making it possible for donors to earn a digital assets while contributing to a social good initiative like supporting the talents and builders in the traditional NGOs with more value and tech education.
Our target audience are the non crypto savvy donors and philanthropists who believe in innovation and adversity.Why the team is best for the funds
WHY TEAM IS BEST FOR THE FUNDS
Dedeukwu Igwe cofounded C1 with JCB. His idea was giving back 30% of proceeds to social good like he has been doing in his web2 career. He hosted the first ever NEAR creative event in Africa hosting SterryO’s album launch on Mintbase marketplace with guests like Osinachi, Hawwal, Larkim, Nima and his team in Osapa London,Lagos state Nigeria and has onboarded a lot of Africans into the ecosystem through the concept of C1TV workshop as a means to support creatives and onboard them to web3. He set up a non-profit digital studio on July, 2021 for artists, registered the start up as an NGO under the corporate affairs commission of Nigeria and hosted events like the C1/NxM Abuja tour which was transmitted to the met averse alongside John x, Sammie, Elkhush, Barr. Joy ( C1 legal ambassador ) and others, he continued to host AMAs and radio shows where he promotes musicnfts from Africa and it’s diaspora. Along the pipeline Dedeukwu connected with Khali of Shinygloves club through JCB and started a partnership with C1 Guild where they deployed 2 classrooms in Jos, Plateau state Nigeria. We are currently planning a partnership with Nftytribe project building on Binance smart chain and our collection with Music feast which will help us set an audio class in the shiny gloves partnership by creating collection and marketing to donors as the targeted market using Fiat currency.
JCB co founded C1 with Dedeukwu. The goal was using blockchain for social good. JCB presented the concept to NEAR Foundation for DAO creation approval, and then coordinated with Rebecca and Chloe to come under the umbrella of the creatives DAO. Since then, JCB has actively been involved in community calls, educating early members of the DAO, IRL events speaking through Zoom to onboarding events in Nigeria, multiple AMAs, coordinating with internal NEAR foundation writers for NEAR blockchain for good week, IRL interviews for the same campaign, built the relationship with Kahli of Shiny Gloves Club and developed the synergies there to form the strategic partnership. JCB continues to find synergies between projects and is currently planning to create a C1 collection on music feast where people can purchase the collections using Fiat currency.
Reespect has been an active contributor to c1 since the early days. Whether this be completing projects, assisting other community members with projects, helping to educate others, and act as a community mod and representative on the NEAR Governance forum.
Blessed Chidiebube was introduced into the Near community on February 8th 2022 through Dedeukwu and has been an active member of C1 Guild, she had utilized her profound social media/ digital marketing and writing skills to help grow the community. She has been the social media manager, marketer, content researcher and creator for the C1 community from mid 2022 till date and looks forward to hitting many more milestones.
Mr_Royalty created and organized the first C1 Model contest and holds a free welcomed physical “C1 Creative model CCM” with Purpledot and Barr.Joy Ozoihu.
The CTS (C1/NEAR in the Street) event was one of Sammie’s innovative works which focused on onboarding and discover of talents in the street that ordinarily don’t get attention from people in the web3 ecosystem.
Eric introduced the C1 Newsletter, which keep stock of all the Guild’s activities, including content from other Guilds and Near foundation, and publicizing it. The exposure it gives have also contributed to onboarding of new members and participants of C1 events.
Other category of events have been presented and executed by other members, which have continued to shape the success C1 prides it’self for.
