Achievement information about the DAO

Content and Social media stats (web2/web3), on-chain activity, built dapps (if applicable only):

  1. Share the content links of youtube Instagram with numbers of engagement, website etc, events done IRL

Bounties/online projects: 30+

IRL events: 15+

  1. Share the number of proposals created, How many councils, size of community, number of NFTs in mintbase, events done in metaverse
  1. DApps if built and the purpose it solves, any traction metrics etc.

  • No dApp is being built. We’re using available tools for our activities.

  • Genre - What category does your DAO fall under

  1. Art

  2. Culture

  • Impact

Our activities focus on creating impacts in 3 main pillars:

  • Impact on local community: introduce NFT & blockchain to Vietnamese Artists & help them explore the blockchain world in a safe way. For Q3: We expand our focus on getting more offline partnership, preparing for the independent runway in 2024.

  • Ecosystem impact: Onboarding members onchain & encourage using NEAR tech. We want to create an active hub where creators continue to create using the technology based on their love with art, regardless there is active bounty or not. (Onboard true artists)

  • Broader impact outside the ecosystem: We continue to promote NEAR & Creatives DAO through our connection with our Web2 partners. Additionally, we are also seeking for resources beyond NEAR to do crowdfunding & create more opportunities for artists besides what are proposed in this proposal. Regardless where the resource come from, we’ll continue to use NEAR tech & promote Creatives DAO throughout our activities.

Dear @Mer
Thank you for your proposal. We are pleased to support it with an amount of $4040, as we recognize its clear value for the CDAO community and NEAR.

The rejected line items are as follows:

As you have already included funds for event supporters/representatives IRL, we find no direct benefit in requesting an additional $300 for the standee.

As agreed, we are committed to supporting your project with $4040. However, the current request for remuneration constitutes almost 40% of the total amount requested. We believe that this amount should be decreased to $1000, which would represent a fair rate of less than 30% of the total requested amount.
