We’ve received several grants from Human Guild (Near Foundation) in 2021 and 2022 for NEAR Protocol implementation & Web3-component development, as well as grant from Aurora.
This is continuation of our previously approved Q1 marketing campaign funding request posted as separate proposal.
We want to continue a large-scale targeting campaign. We have a game at launch stage, well-formed social networks, there are many videos about WOTA on YouTube and Tiktok (both our own and influencers’ content). During this time, WOTA has changed a lot for the better, a lot has been added to the game itself, thanks to our team and our community, so we want to show users the benefits and coolness of WOTA through various content and attract new players. World Of The Abyss is built on a vibrant and cool community of players, which we’re about to grow significantly.
This time we are launching a large advertising campaign in which we will use various methods to attract the audience. Our main goal is to convey the value of WOTA & NEAR to the user, to increase the number of game downloads and logins through NEAR and new wallets opening.
The WOTA team will handle all aspects and create the best promo videos and posts that will go into the advertising campaign. In this way, we will expand the WOTA and NEAR community, as well as the number of new active NEAR wallets. In addition, this campaign will allow WOTA to demonstrate its increased retention rates (and others) to potential publishers and investors who follow our progress and need these statistics, increasing our chances of obtaining funding as soon as possible and globally launching a large-scale marketing campaign from the end of January with the money raised .
Also this campaign will allow WOTA to demonstrate it’s increased retention (and other) metrics to prospective publishers and investors, who are following our progress and require this statistics, that will increase our chances to get funding ASAP and globally launch a massive marketing campaign by the end of Jan for the money raised.
Through content production and other activities, our aim is to onboard 3000-5000 active players which may around 500-1000 new active NEAR wallets

Impact on NEAR ecosystem:
As we are going to use mostly resources and traffic outside NEAR ecosystem, the impact will be significant:
Expansion of NEAR community as well as number of new active NEAR wallets.
Growth of NEAR users base due to:
- Transfer of Web2 players to Web3 NEAR users by promoting Web3 mechanics
- Transfer of P2E players from other protocols to NEAR Protocol
- Transfers of investors/speculators from other protocols to NEAR Protocol
NEAR ecosystem education by gamified mechanics
The project itself is a good showcase of application of Web3 mechanics in gamedev for other studios and teams. Increasing gaming and e-sports visibility on NEAR.
