Creatives DAO Quarter 1 & Quarter 2 Reports
Hello Creatives Community!
In an effort to improve our reporting and transparency we would like to share our Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 reports with you.
As you may notice, Q1 is missing numbers from both January and February. During this time Creatives DAO was transitioning to a council of DAOs with new moderators. Reporting has since then shifted & expanded.
We were able to collect these metrics from our internal monthly reporting and from the 13 DAOs that filled out the DAO inscription forum. It is hard to provide accurate metrics with only 17% of us providing numbers. We hope that the remaining DAOs that have not filled out the forum will do so, so we can fully represent Creatives DAO as well as include you all in the growing Products & Services list below. Nonetheless, these numbers are impactful and do not even begin to portray the vastness of what all our projects cultivate here on NEAR!
We would like to continue improving our reporting moving forward to keep track of our developments and progress while giving more opportunity to the community to take accountability together in how we manage our funds and operations.
→ Every month moving forward you can expect a report sharing all the proposals accepted and rejected and the individual and total amount of funds allocated.
→ Every end of the Quarter (March - Q1, June - Q2, September - Q3, December - Q4) you can expect a report sharing the monthly and quarterly total funds allocated and the number of DAOs supported paired with community metrics that reflect what we collectively achieved through the support from NF.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Month | Amount Allocated | DAOs Supported | Active Members | NEAR NFT’s Minted | Services Offered |
| April | 186,796 | 50 | |||
| May | 229,864 | 75 | |||
| June | 222,514 | 71 | 800+ | 7,500+ | 70+ |
| 639,174 |
From these numbers we can see:
- The amount of DAOs within our community has almost doubled, increasing by about 47% in 5 months.
- The amount of funds allocated to the community has doubled, increasing by 54% at our peak in May.
- High increase in proposal acceptance from March to May followed by an increase in analysis and regulation from May to July.
From these numbers we can think about:
- How will we manage our growth in a sustainable way?
- Should there be a limits/guidelines to the amount of proposals accepted or amount of funds allocated each month?
- What standards should be held within the community to maintain quality within our ecosystem?
- What types of reporting systems can we implement that can accurately reflect our collective efforts and value?
- How many moderators will be necessary to manage the increasing amount of proposals submitted?
- What changes in our governance system will be appropriate to ensure on-chain voting for proposals are casted with adequate analysis?
- What platforms or systems can we erect to showcase the variety of products and services offered by our community?
