NEAR Reddit Ops Team Report
July 2021
Background
The Reddit Ops Team has been working to increase engagement with NEAR protocol since April of 2021. The goal of the reddit operation is to increase engagement with the NEAR community. We accomplish this goal by hosting AMAs on the r/nearprotocol subreddit, sharing general content on the r/nearprotocol sub, and posting on other subs.
On July 5th, we had 1,168 subscribers. Today, July 31st, we have 1,276 members. This is very strong growth towar…
149 NEAR to icebear.near for coding the landing page of Astro based on a Figma design:

162 NEAR to samlwtn.near to form a DAO, launch a social token, and manage the community for a record label with 20,000 followers:
I’ve been contacted by a record label with 20,000 followers. To avoid any mishaps with token or account names being stolen I’ll refrain from naming them publicly UNTIL everything is set up.
Proposal:
Over 1 month I’m requesting $1200 and expect to onboard 1000 new wallets to NEAR in that time. My estimate comes from a modest 5% response rate against the label’s 20,000 followers.
Detailed Plan:
Consult with Record Label and Seed Club to verify my approach

Can run a project: managing engineers on implementation, talking with community, creating next steps and more.

Guide for Claiming Rewards:
Dear Sandboxers and NEARians,

This repository will not only act as the data source for the NEAR Ecosystem web app coming soon, but also for other dashboards as well in the future.
Our aim is to have an accurate, up to date database of all entities in the NEAR ecosystem. Therefore, we ha…
TLDR of the proposal:
Our Telegram group is one of the major communication channels for the NEAR community. In order to increase engagement and drive more active discussions in the group, I suggest that we launch a monthly reward program to encourage members to make positive contributions in the group. In this way, we can also know more about the keen and active members in the community and foster them to become one of the key builders in the NEAR ecosystem.
Instead of just giving out NEAR to…
Thanks to the amazing Education Team!
