Despite all the challenges and set back in the past few months in the Ecosystem, our Dao has strive to remain focus on it vision and purpose as the only Dao that has been directing it efforts and funding to activate the presence of Fashion in Near Ecosystem.
September 2022 happens to be first time we executed a project as a new Dao after been approved by the moderators, on that course we started on a good note by organizing Digital Fashion Workshop and masterclass, introduce our Dao and build our own community in Near Ecosystem. We onboarded 10 creatives who had little or no knowledge about web3 or Near Protocol, we sensitize them and taught them the digital tools/softwares they need to know in order to practice digital fashion, we as well guide them through how they can maximize the Near Ecosystem and it DApps like Mintbase where they can mint their designs as wearable NFTs.
As a result of the workshop, 10 participants who attended the 2 days workshop were able to design 1 digital fashion art on their own. This 10 designs in total which has been minted mintbase store.
On the 26th of August 2023, hosting a non-funded onboarding campaign. In the course of the event 20 new NEARians were onboarded and 20 new active Wallets were created.
As a growing Dao that has been working very hard to build it community in Near Ecosystem, our social media community in all platforms has increased from 250 to 422+ and has onboarded over 50+ new NEARians.
