Section 7. DAO/Project Charter/White or Litepaper and Goals
-
Why do we need community?
The significance of a crypto community for a project is immense. An engaged and supportive community can drive increased exposure and adoption of the project. It helps spread the word, attract new users, and even secure investors and partners. A vibrant community also provides valuable feedback, enhances credibility and trust in the project, and acts as a hub for collaboration and innovation. In essence, a strong community often translates into the overall success of a crypto project. -
What are the current problems?
-
Regional communities have strength in direct, hands-on engagement with local communities in their respective areas, but there is currently a lack of alignment between the activities of regional communities and the sustainable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
-
There is no onboarding program for new local communities to further expand NEAR into other regions.
-
There is still an overlap between the activities of the regional community and other DAOs, such as Developer DAO and Marketing DAO, highlighting the need for clarification of tasks and functions to avoid any redundancy.
-
How will NEAR Globe DAO solve the current issue?
The Near globe DAO community will work very closely with HoM (House of Merit) to fulfill the goals and KPIs of the NDC (Near Digital Collective). All councils have a background in the Near Community building and have previously led a regional community. Regional communities will meet once a month and learn from each other. Our team will review all applications on a rolling basis, determine if more information is required, and then schedule a call with the team if necessary. At that point, we may revert with additional questions or ideas.Globe DAO will focus on implementation P-1: Widening Adoption of NEAR:
P-1.1: Outreach to New Audiences CoA priorityContinuous outreach to new audiences is the source of new community members and ideas. That’s why we believe this priority is a cornerstone for the NDC. There are many initiatives that fall into this category and we intentionally do not want to limit what is possible. However, here are some ideas that can be explored:
- Referral systems for the ecosystem.
- Activation of the protocol’s daily usage through gamification mechanics (for example, leaderboards).
- Demonstration of NEAR to non-blockchain communities:
- TradFi apps seeking exposure to DeFi yield;
- Traditional software companies seeking to offload security and risk to blockchain;*
- AI/ML data provenance;*
- Social apps with data privacy requirements and possible network effects.
- Education of the local communities, creators, influencers:
- Local offline and online workshops or lectures in regional languages.
- Catchy swag
- Referral programs
- Time-bound events: NEARtober fest, NEAR advent calendar.
