Hey @nehnaaztaj , welcome to the NEAR ecosystem, and thanks for the proposal. Excited to see what projects come of this initiative. I’m going to leave a few pointers and guidances that will hopefully help you navigate the space and familiarise yourself with the ecosystem.
-
When applying to creatives DAO, it is required to have an introduction/roadmap as a separate post to the budget proposal which can then be linked into a monthly funding proposal to the Creatives DAO. Worth noting as well that we (Creatives DAO) are one of many DAOs operating within the NEAR ecosystem that is open to collaboration.
-
The funding above does not state any intention for what it would be used for, which is, in my opinion, one of the most fundamental parts of the funding round… proposing and well documenting those funds via reports.
-
Generally, a DAO structure works as a collective of people and this seems like a one-person show, for now. This is of course understandable for some DAOs to get up and running, each to their own! What I would recommend is elaborating on the “Pastel DAO team” mentioned above and creating an astrodao to get started, which is a cheap and effective way to organise your DAO.
-
There are many other DAOs in the ecosystem that have aligned goals and missions to the Pastel DAO, so I would recommend a potential collaboration with one of them to get familiar with the processes and functionality of running a DAO before a first month funding round. One that comes to mind is Kalakendra DAO, an India-based NFT DAO working in the Creatives DAO ecosystem (tagging @Monish016 for visibility and potentially some further guidance on Indian NFT/Art related DAOs and resources). This is usually a great way to get guidance from experienced community members!
In the meantime, here are some guides for you to clarify any further doubts:
Thank you!
