[CLOSED] NEAR Türkiye August 2023

Hi everyone,

We have been representing NEAR to Türkiye since March 2021 and are active on Telegram, Medium, Twitter, Youtube and have implemented a MVP project on NEAR together with our developers.

I’ve been following the RCWG announcements Near Social and participating in the weekly calls to keep up with the MDAO councils and RC members.

Guild / Community Name: Near Türkiye
User: nearinturkiye.near
Funding scheme : 1 month
Previous Proposal: [Approved] NEAR Türkiye July 2023
Previous Report: [REPORT] NEAR Türkiye July 2023

Near.social of all core team members:

Link to the Social Media accounts:

Our main focus is to bring new users to Near Social / Near BOS and organize workshops / mini-hackathons and meetups to onboard new devs and builders to NEAR.
Furthermore, we want to invite even more new users to our social media channels over the next month and focus on our main goal: increase blockchain and crypto adoption in Türkiye and heighten awareness of the NEAR ecosystem in the Turkish-speaking area.

What problem is the proposal solving?
Ownership of digital currencies in Turkey was the highest in the world at 27.1% followed by Argentina at 23.5% – well above global crypto ownership rate estimated at 11.9% – according to data from research firm GWI.
The Turkish lira’s volatility and rising inflation seen in recent months has led our investors / crypto enthuasists / developers to see cryptocurrency as a profitable investment in the long term and as a hedge against inflation in the short term. Unfortunately, little English is spoken in Turkish-speaking countries and members cannot follow the latest updates on NEAR and misunderstand some topics. It’s hard for the community to express themselves in English.

How is the problem being solved
I have written more detailed under “activities”, but to sum up:
We will continue our support for our existing Telegram NEAR Turkish community.
Create self-written and translated articles on Medium
Share the latest news and updates about NEAR in Turkish on Twitter.
Reach out to more crypto enthusiasts and invite them to Near Social and IamHuman.
We will organize offline workshops and attend blockchain events. By participating or organizing hackathons in Turkey, we can invite more builders/developers to the Near ecosystem, build a project together and onboard new Turkish projects on NEAR Horizon.

replied now. Thank you!

Remove management costs and use last month’s funds for YouTube, focusing on current KPIs and metrics rather than adding YouTube videos to August.

Hi @Bakaka, I edited the proposal, I will share educational videos on YT in August. I will not ask for a budget for this and will use the July budget as mentioned in my report.
Thank you for your support!

Hello! @cizi31 , your application was approved by RCDAO (part of the Marketing (Ecosystem) DAO constellation). The proposal will be included in the following request to NDC Trust @TrustNDC (~ on August 15th). Expected payment time ~ August 16th-August 31st. Some additional requirements may apply. Please join NDC Marketing HUB Telegram: Contact @ndc_marketing

Hello. Unfortunately, we were informed by MDAO that due to the limit in hard cap they could get in NDC trust in V0, RCDAO proposals cannot be supported now.

We hope better things for RCs in V1

Hello @cizi31 . Let me expand the reason more broadly:

  • RCDAO couldn’t find support at Near Foundation because the current approach is not aligned with the Foundation’s strategy and still discussing;
  • Due to the specific limits and KPIs for August and September, NDC Trust cannot support this proposal-request .

You can re-apply with a focus ONLY on increasing:

  • of active Developers
  • of active Users and Transactions
  • of Tools on BOS

Marketing DAO councils and advisors will review and approve/reject it, then send a request to NDC trust. As soon as NDC Trust supports your proposal, MDAO will execute a payment to the mentioned wallet.

Thank you!
