[NearNft]

@so608

Thanks for the additional details – I appreciate the transparency and willingness to share numbers.

Thanks @so608 for looking closely through our proposal.

@so608

With the Jan-April funding alone, your team has received $41.7K from the ecosystem fund. You also have team members who receive funding from other projects.

We have been contributing to the ecosystem since a year. Within this time frame we have seen many Guilds/Communities proposals structure and have followed the same guidelines for claiming the funds for ours.

• Regarding Team Members receiving funds from other projects
  @David_NEAR clarified on this that if someone is fulfilling the responsibilities of their roles it should be of no concern to anyone what positions they hold in addition to that.

@David_NEAR

Recently, I’ve noticed a handful of comments which highlight the fact that some individuals in the NEAR Ecosystem manage to hold multiple roles (and are paid for each of them).

This is not an issue. Nor is there an official stance from the NEAR Foundation regarding this.

So long as people are able to fulfill the responsibilities of their roles it should be of no concern to anyone what positions they hold in addition to that.

• Your Time, Your Labour, Your Choice

@so608

That’s quite a lot of funding – that’s a full-time annual salary (more than) for a lot of people.

• In NEAR NFT Club we have a team of more than 15 people working on different positions. And the asked amount has been claimed according to the standard rates applicable in other approved reward proposals.

@so608

overall amount of funding to date for your project seems out-sized to me vs. results,

Sharing some highlighted stats for these [Jan-April] months to justify that we have generated good lead to the NEAR NFT Ecosystem.

• Website
  – Google Impressions: 929K
  – Website visit users: 9K+
  – Page Views: 17K+
  – Bounce Rate: 72.03% [proving that we have converted the google users to the marketplace/communities weblinks]

• The hashtag #NEARnft growth [Jan-April] that we have started
  – Social Media Reach: 92 Million
  – Advertising Value Equivalent: 7.03 Million [ Approx. amount of money that would have to be spent on paid advertising to achieve the similar exposure ]

• Collaboration
  – Supported 40+ NFT Collection projects during their launch

@so608

Are you open to considering a reduction in project scope, number of community moderators or social platforms?

We have done what we could have done best for the ecosystem. We have given a lot of efforts to build this system.

• Project Scope (Yes, we can set boundary) : Of all our Clients [Creators, Collections, Communities and Marketplaces] we can keep away Communities from our scope. And in case if they want to connect with us we will work to create a basic paid package within the affordable range of ~200/monthly for them and we won’t claim the funds for them in future.

• Number of community moderators (Yes, can be reduced to three): Right now we have Five (5) Moderators: @Chandresh_Patel , @zubairansari07 , @Kv9990 , @ImJami2017 and @Nanji handling
  – 1 X Discord
  – 3 X Telegram Groups [ NFT Club, NFT Week, NFT Shill]

We can reduce the number to Three (3) Moderators and the reduced workload of Social Media Account Manager 15hr/Week to 7hr/Week along with his reward structure reduced to half from August onwards.

• Social Platforms (We would like to keep them all with the rewards to be claimed for the selected one’s) : Currently we have 8 active accounts in 5 different social media platforms. We do need all of them to be active within the reward request for 5 accounts only.

– 3 X Twitter [ NFT Club, NFT Week, NFT Feature ]
– 2 X Instagram [ NFT Club, NFT Week ]
– 1 X Facebook [ NFT Club ]
– 1 X LinkedIn [ NFT Club ]
– 1 X Telegram Channel [ NFT Club + NFT Week ]

Thanks @so608 again for raising these questions. It allowed us to share the efforts we are putting in and set the boundary on our future scope of working.
