**Project Name:** Createbase Guild **Project Status:** In Progress **Project Accounting:** Current DAO balance (31.08.2021) - 1441.67 NEAR **DAO:** [https://www.sputnik.fund/#/dao/createbase.sputnikdao.near ](https://www.sputnik.fund/#/dao/createbase.sputnikdao.near) **Updated Project Timeline:** In the last two months Createbase has continued to deliver on its mission: onboarding creators to NEAR and Mintbase, researching new use cases, technologies, tools and services, organizing events in VR and IRL highlighting NFTs, promoting online community calls as a platform for information, networking and discussion, producing tutorials and other video content, funding bounties to foster community growth, and providing support on NEAR and Mintbase forums and social channels. **Highlights:** - 55 proposals approved and funded through the DAO - 8 Open Bounties - 3 new guides produced - 2 Hackathon challenges - 2 VR events (art tours, artist talks, DJ sets, parties, art exhibitions) - 4 Real world events - Wildeverse (Wilde Möhren Festival) - 2 Installation & Performances - 3 Presentations - 10 Workshops - 4 Artist Talks - Several Live DJ sets - 1 Community call - 5 AMA sessions - Social channel numbers: - Createbase Twitter: 1078 followers - Createbase Telegram group: 612 members - Createbase Youtube channel: 82 subscribers **DAO activity:** In the months of July and August 2021, 67 proposals were submitted to the Createbase DAO. We had a few expired proposals as the council was undergoing change, but the great majority of proposals were approved on time. A few proposals contained errors and had to be resubmitted or were duplicate. Overall we feel the community is getting well skilled in submitting DAO proposals correctly. **Real World Events:** In July and August Createbase put a lot of resources into the experiment at the Wilde Möhren Festival, with lectures, workshops and other NFT onboarding activities. It spanned over 4 editions with 4 days of activities each: **Wildeverse (Wilde Möhren Festival):** Mintbase, NEAR and Createbase collaborated on a pioneering experiment at the Wilde Möhren festival in Brandenburg, Germany. A mixed-reality metaverse was designed and built specifically for the festival, joining virtual and physical locations and experiences at Somnium Space and on site at the festival location. During the four weekends of the festival, several online and real-life events were organized, including online NFT art tours and artist talks, workshops, presentations, group paintings, and collaborative NFT minting. Guests were introduced to blockchain and NFTs by staff, artists and community members from Mintbase, NEAR and Createbase. For the first time ever (as far as we know), festival guests could buy a “beer NFT” and redeem it for a real ice-cold beer at the festival. Over 100 NEAR wallets were created, a community of over 7000 members was formed on Twitter (@Wildeverse1) and many lessons were learned about onboarding new users to crypto and NFTs.

All together the Wildeverse VR events featured 26 artist talks and 9 music and performance sets (4 of this series of 6 events happened in June) [http://gov.near.org/t/approved-wildeverse-launch-party-in-somnium-space-15th-june-29th-june-14th-july/2932/](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-wildeverse-launch-party-in-somnium-space-15th-june-29th-june-14th-july/2932/) [http://gov.near.org/t/approved-wildeverse-launch-party-art-tour-series-in-cryptovoxels/2812/ ](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-wildeverse-launch-party-art-tour-series-in-cryptovoxels/2812/) We also launched a collection of cryptovoxels wearables, to be given as thank you to the event attendants. **METABUIDL hackathon:** Createbase is sponsoring 2 challenges for the hackathon: - Drop Link for gifting NFTs - [https://airtable.com/shrdNEynK25TGJ91h/tblTtriXzrEiCfpoy/viwGhGQTKiJ4L5JSG/receywuBUihGcje7o ](https://airtable.com/shrdNEynK25TGJ91h/tblTtriXzrEiCfpoy/viwGhGQTKiJ4L5JSG/receywuBUihGcje7o) - NFT Gaming Assets - [https://airtable.com/shrdNEynK25TGJ91h/tblTtriXzrEiCfpoy/viwGhGQTKiJ4L5JSG/recQZdP3fMpYHj0Yt](https://airtable.com/shrdNEynK25TGJ91h/tblTtriXzrEiCfpoy/viwGhGQTKiJ4L5JSG/recQZdP3fMpYHj0Yt) **Articles and guides:** We continued with our guide writing bounty: ([[closed - new one will appear soon] Creating Mintbase and MintbaseDAO Guides - 25 USD in NEAR](http://gov.near.org/t/bounty-creating-createbase-guides-25-near/1025/)) which is generating excellent guides.

The first activities included an AMA, a week-long NFT giveaway celebrating 1000 Twitter followers, and 04 minters’ highlights on Twitter. Moving forward, the goal is to schedule all important community-focused activities and events on Thursday. **Community Management:** Apart from the Createbase facilitators, we continue to have bounties for community members to help manage our communication channels, like Reddit and WeChat, as well as our website updates. **Learnings:** We submitted our learnings as a separate post available here: > [@Lessons from the Createbase Guild](http://gov.near.org/t/lessons-from-the-createbase-guild/5077): > > Createbase had the opportunity to learn a lot so far since the guild was established in late 2020.
