Hello everyone and council @Dacha@so608@cryptocredit@Klint . First of all, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to all of you, even though we are in a bear market but with NEAR’s support for the communities in the ecosystem we have been able to sustain up to this point and that is the motivation for us to continue contributing. I am happy to be back here to submit our proposal for September.
1. Project Information
Organization Name: Near Insider
Proposal Title: September 2023 - Content & AMA base on NDC Objective
You have just listed our KPIs, which is a great start.
You didn’t give a clear process for how your activities drive builders and developers?and how will you track and report onboarded users, engagement, and transactions?
Again, I did not see any breakdown of how the funding could be spent and distributed.
Please clarify more on these and don’t forget to add your previous funding report or most recent.
Hi @near.insider thanks for the proposal. As a long-time recipient of MDAO funding, I think we are in a moment where we need to pause and do a full assessment from project start to present, users/engagement and total funding allocated.
Can you share:
Total MDAO funding to date?
Total audience?
Month over month or year to date growth?
From my view of the reports and audience number across platforms, I’m not seeing the growth that I think needs to be there in order to fund this content program this month. I do note that Vietnam is an important region for the NEAR ecosystem, and I appreciate the willingness to aim to support current NDC messaging goals. That said, it’s my thinking that true traction is going to come from content that is not being published for the sake of meeting KPIs, but has a specific point of view, community and differentiator from other content programs.
Also, the reality is that we have 70 projects under review for limited funding, we cannot fund everyone, and we cannot fund projects with guaranteed continuity.
Hi @so608
First, I would like to share some of the milestones we have achieved since the first MDAO grant in April 2022 (since then, there have been several months of MDAO stopping support to restructure).
Followers: at that time we only had about 9000 followers and now we have 66000 (more than 500% growth)
Impression: ranges from 800K - 1M impressions per month, this shows our stability
