Introducing Near Africa GameFest; unleashing the ultimate gamer experience.

It’s been great what we all are doing within the community and from our end, we seek to grow further and have come up with this proposal for a Near blockchain event at Federal University, Dutse.

  2. Education session on GameFi and the Near ecosystem at large to help them understand key features of Near and why Near is good for gaming

Onboarding tools: we will be using meteor wallet for easy onboarding and ShardDog NFTs for merch/refreshment claims

Gaming projects to be showcased

  1. Zomland

Thank you for your proposal and following some of your activities.

I will make a suggestion.

-Attract more users, whether from other ecosystems or local communities, to join your gaming community. This will help you have a great organic audience to participate in your contests and other engagement. Your community’s growth rate is very low compared to what you are asking for.

-We are not supporting every community to host a campus tour due to budget constraints. We are selecting a few communities to take part in this, and you will apply for the next funding round to host it.

I am looking forward to seeing your mid-team report tomorrow before committing to supporting your community activities part.

Thank you for the comment sir. Believe me we have been up and doing and you will see that in our report soon. The only community that we’ve not had significant increase is on TG and that’s because we are yet to have a partnership that will bring such, however we have an AMA with an off chain blockchain community this Thursday and we believe that would increase our number.
Again, thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you very much sir

No sir, it’s for both community engagement and meetup… all details are on the proposal
