Are all the 200 developers?

Also, are there sample products built by students of the school to be onboarded?

I don’t know if this is a mistake but how do you onboard 200+ people into the ecosystem with a target audience of 150?

2 Likes

@IgbozeIsrael , yeah… That was an oversight from me and it has been adequately corrected.

-Are they all going to be developers?

No!.. We targets like 20 - 30 developers inclusive inorder to expose them to the platform Near Protocol where they can really exhIbit the potentials locked in them to the world.
The prospective 200 people we are aiming to onboard are a mixture, hence our target of 10-20 developers with the aim of integrating them into the Near Ecosystem.

-Also, are there sample products built by students of the school to be onboarded?

These new developers are builders on other Ecosystem such as Solana most especially and we aim to bring them onto the Near protocol where they can continue their building activities. These onboarded developers would be useful in the future design of our dApp.

ii. We make newly onboarded creatives mint their new NFTs and equally trade it

iii. For newly onboarded developers, they will join a developer dao for updates on building on BOS, just as they can cooperate and coordinate with organisers of KANOISBOS so same knowledge can be used to create our community dApps in the NEARest future.

iv. There are Near Ecosystem games such as Zomland, Pumpopoly and Mental Maze which new game lovers can participate in to win tokens and stay connected to the ecosystem.

Points i - IV above are all ways we would utilise in integrating newly onboarded users into the ecosystem.

How sustainable is this given that buying NFTs without use cases is an issue in the ecosystem? Are the NFTs real-life assets?

Do you have Devs in your community already? If yes, what have they built so far?
I Co-head the KanoISBOS team and have not received any conversation from your team for training purposes.

I will abstain hence from this proposal as Mental Maze is mentioned and I am its founder. This is for the sake of transparency.

@IgbozeIsrael

Q: Do you have Devs in your community already? If yes, what have they built so far?

Answer: No… As we are a mission to onboard them

Q: I Co-head the KanoISBOS team and have not received any conversation from your team for training purposes.

Answer: The consultation would be after the developers have been successfully onboarded… As this proposal will still go through a process of approval, Event Planning and eventually Onboarding.

Q: How sustainable is this given that buying NFTs without use cases is an issue in the ecosystem? Are the NFTs real-life assets?

Answer: They are going to be real life assets of creatives (Artistes, writers and artists) Assets which mirror their creativity. This doesn’t only allow them to put value on their artistry but also helps then reach out to a new audience in web3

Thanks

Thanks for your clarification, can’t support this proposal this time, because our core priority in our first month is not to host IRL. i recommend you revive your community, submit a commitment report, and apply for the next round

@Bakaka

Please check that his proposal we submitted is not based on the host of IRL.

This project proposal is all about building on Near… IRL mentioned is just part of the retention plan we have and it even not all we have as a retention plan
Please do take your time to go throw the proposal again.

This is proposal built on educating, and on-boarding, creation of Near wallet, Near social accounts and foster the usage of other Near dApps and the rest.

We have bounty program, quizzes, AMA and even onboarding Devs for a positive impact on Near in the nearest future…

We have content creators on-boarding across all our social media handles Inorder to perfectly bring them in… We scrutinize the contents entries, select the best ones and mint as a benefit for them and the Near protocol entirely.

This proposal contains 3 events precisely and not just 1 and there is nothing like hosting IRL event in this proposal.

Please take time to go through it again for clarification.

Thanks

Thanks for the approval… We will work hard to Deliver as proposed.

Please provide specific plans for onboarding 10-20 developers to NEAR, and describe the community initiatives to be utilized to engage the potential new user base.

I recommended utilizing crossword.xyz, a permissionless smart contract on NEAR, for educational purposes with community engagement. Please reach out to @agt or @mikedotexe for guidance, if needed.
