Hi @Natashacremonese
These projects are so much fun and really interesting when it comes to creative artists engaging with NFTs. The challenge of the new KPIs is that the nature of the projects need to draw in new talent, builders, and projects into the Near ecosystem.

While this project is definitely a passionate one, the reality is that it’s been funded by both the Creative DAO and Marketing DAO since April. The overall success of the project as it pertains to the new KPIs leaves me struggling to find a way to continue to fund this project. I cannot support OctopodeDAO at this time.

@Klint Our goal is not to be fun. We are building something professional and getting attention from public agencies by taking NEAR’s name forward.
Yes, our goal is to attract new talent, builders, and projects to the NEAR ecosystem.
For this to happen we need NFTs, events, and actions that generate engagement from the artist community and make the sale happen.
I still don’t understand why the effort to demotivate, a shame not to count on your support and we wait for a position from the other members to know how we will move forward.

Hi @Natashacremonese i have reviewed your proposal and read your comments.

However i am unable to support your request at this time. In the current market conditions we have had to make some hard choices on which projects to allocate funding. Please feel free to resubmit in the future.

Hi @Natashacremonese – thank you for your proposal and submissions.

I’ll be straightforward at the top of this reply that I cannot support this proposal at this time. That said, I want to give you my reasoning and a few things to note about the future and possible avenues for funding going forward.

  • This project has so many great, socially positive elements that I respect. But we are now working within new guidelines and parameters that we must meet as part of our relaunch and goal to align with NEAR Foundation KPIs.
  • While you have brought in new members to the ecosystem, I do not see enough traction or growth since the beginning of funding to continue viewing this as an experiment. The growth is organic and ongoing, but it’s not rapid, and we have already allocated a lot of funding.
  • We have to make some really tough choices with which projects to fund right now. We have a significantly reduced monthly target amount. In the interest of aligning with the KPIs we are trying to meet and the fact that your project has already received significant funding, I think this is a good time to pause and reassess.

A few additional things to note for the future:

  • There are other avenues for funding events – we are no longer able to allocate funding to them at this time. Perhaps requesting funding for your future events is a possible way forward? If so, you can DM me or email marketingdao@proton.me.
  • This could be a candidate for Creatives and their initiatives.
  • We are working to issue bounties around specific campaigns and initiatives, which will open up new avenues for funding next year.

I know you are dedicated and a sincere contributor to the ecosystem, and I know there has been a lot of shifting and changing along the path over the last six months. I encourage you to keep building and pushing forward.
