Project Title: Shitzu relentless pursuit of building a Sustainable NEAR Community with Dynamic NFTs and Revenue Sharing

Project Summary:

Shitzu has been a dedicated supporter of the NEAR ecosystem for over two years. We started as a meme-focused community but quickly transitioned to fostering community building and user engagement. Now, we’re launching a dynamic NFT project to further these goals:

  • Increase User Retention: NFT holders will benefit from revenue sharing through our LP pair on Ref Finance, creating a long-term incentive to stay involved.
  • Onboard New Users: NFTs will act as “communal scaffolding” for newcomers, providing a welcoming entry point to the NEAR ecosystem.
  • Dynamic Utility: We’re collaborating with Bodega/Cafe Cartel Crew to create unique and evolving NFT functionalities.
  • Human Verification & Self-Sovereignty: Exploring integration with Nada.bot for secure verification and user control.

Social Proof & Achievements:

  • Active social media presence on Twitter and Telegram for over two years, even during market downturns.
  • Pioneered engage-to-earn and learn-to-earn activities on NEAR.
  • Highly active Telegram group serving as a central hub for NEAR information and community.
  • Successfully migrated from Aurora EVM to NEAR mainnet.
  • Established DAO with well-known NEAR ecosystem contributors.

Funding Request: $4,000

  • $2,000: NFT Design & Utility Implementation (including special traits and legendary NFTs for long-term contributors)
  • $1,000: Development of Automated NFT Holder Revenue System
  • $1,000: Content Creation & Influencer Onboarding Program

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

  • NFT sales and holder activity
  • Growth in social media engagement and community size
  • Increased NEAR ecosystem participation by new users
  • Revenue generated for NFT holders

Transparency & Accountability:

  • Grant funds will be managed through our transparent DAO wallet: shitzu.sputnik-dao.near
  • All funding will be dedicated to project development, not community volunteer compensation (as with previous MDAO grants).

However,we are pleased to offer $2000 in support of the following initiatives:
