Hello @The_darrk

I dont approve it unless you make the KPI table as our Charter as follows for tier C:

1. Partnerships with NON blockchain companies belong to 4 categories (TradFi ;
   Traditional software companies ; AI/ML; Social apps) - not cross-chain

2. New wallets must have more than 3 transactions to make sure they are human, and 15% IAH, 20 average txns for 25 new wallets, all new wallets made in March

Thanks!

Hello,

Being an integral part of the NEAR India community, I abstain from supporting this proposal due to a conflict of interest.

Thank you!

[derymars]

I will support with some notes:

1. The minimum target should at least align with the proposed Tier (I agree with @HaiVu comment).
2. Based on the previous report, there needs to be improvisation in the future regarding Video and wallet-related matters (number of wallets, number of transactions, and registrations via i-am-human)
3. I have heard there is a constraint regarding partnerships, as it requires legal documents. At the moment, we are considering whether universities can be included as one of the collaboration target points.

[NEAR_INDIA]

Thanks for your feedback, Much appreciated.
We updates our KPI as per Globe DAO Recent KPI Structure.

1. As Dery Suggested, Partnerships with TradFi or Traditional software companies requires some sort of paper work, prior to 1-2 months before the actual partnership, that can create hassle and have affect on KPIs if 3rd party reject at end time.

In past NEAR INDIA did collab with engineering university and collages with awesome fantastic results, and collab with only Computer science/AI;ML clubs particularly to target Tech audience.

2). Updated the average trnx/wallet and total wallet no.
as IAH is unavailable, Community cant make there referred wallets verified, as its now working fine, will try to get 20% IAH verified wallet onboarding .

3). Talking about views on videos, as it takes time to grow an youtube channel, will work on that and try to grow it more organically.
