CC: @marketingdao-council ![B010NEAR - Header DACH 2023-04 (1)](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/7/7/776227d094e9859185e5eb23785f269bb4f0fbe1.png) # Introduction Hi NEAR Community, This proposal is about NEAR DACH, the regional community for professionals in the German-speaking area. Briefly about me: My name is Kemal, I am a crypto enthusiast from Berlin and have been working in the NEAR ecosystem for more than two years. You can learn more about my work at NEAR as part of the Concierge Initiative from 2021 to the end of 2022 [in this proposal](http://gov.near.org/t/introduction-near-concierge-initiative/19051). **Why NEAR DACH?** The German-speaking region consists of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, which together are home to around 100 million people. According to a survey conducted by the German consumer centers in 2021, around 5.9% of Germans own cryptocurrencies. It is estimated that the total number of crypto users in the DACH region combined is ~5%, which is about 5 million people. And although DACH countries make up only 13% of Europe’s population, [they account for about one-fifth of software developers](https://fintechnews.ch/fintech/dach-fintech-trends-to-look-out-for-in-2023/58869/), according to Fintechnews research. But why NEAR DACH? In the business world, DACH or D-A-CH describes the German-speaking area, which consists of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. And DACH is a combined abbreviation of the country letters of Germany (D), Austria (A), and Switzerland (CH) and thus the German-speaking area in Europe. So if you are talking about the German-speaking area you actually say DACH area, and not the German-speaking area. Therefore NEAR German does not make any sense if we wanna address professionals from Austria and Switzerland as well. # Guild Info **Name:** NEAR DACH DAO **Astro DAO:** [NEAR DACH DAO](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/near-dach.sputnik-dao.near/) **DAO address:** near-dach.sputnik-dao.near **NEAR Social:** [NEAR DACH](https://near.social/#/mob.near/widget/ProfilePage?accountId=dach.near) **NEAR Wallet:** dach.near **Email:** dachisnear@skyborn.media **Funding scheme:** 2 months (May / June 2023) **Near social of core members:** 1.
