The marketing budget mostly comprises rewards for the NEAR Community to onboard the existing Community to IamHuman to bring Governance online with voters. A new WG has started with the Distro, DEGEN, NFT, and SWARM WG’s to create a campaign and budget and tracking around incentives for Projects, Communities, and Verticals.

  1. Event budget seems even more luxurious. Where can I find more detail? Many huge projects don’t spend anywhere close to $2,500/month on swag.

Please find the invoice for Swag from Consensus, with inflation, this is the budget for 180 decent-quality t-shirts.

NEAR Asked the same question in general once NDC V1 Gov is online, it will be higher. The Trust has no stables. The Legal WG also referenced that Treasury Management in terms of impact, is not a purpose of the Trust. The Trust purpose is toward NEAR.

Please find our forecasted yearly budget.

The GWG has consistently come in under budget every QTR as the NDC movement had not started. Happy to report the movement is gaining a lot of traction and much more is now happening. With over 20 workgroups, 100’s of Community created documents, Charters, Budgets, Design docs, NDC Tooling

The budget was created based on over 4 months of research by many Community members including expert input. You can now find the detailed supporting documents on NDCDocs

The goal of the Governance Working Group (GWG) is to be the steward of bringing NDC V1 Gov ONLINE which establishes governance for the NEAR Ecosystem that allows the Community to vote on how funding (Community Treasury), representatives, and governance are managed.

Instead of doing it in a completely centralized way we have been actively working on the governance process and interacting with the Community to define how V1 Gov will function. The GWG is actively decentralizing while actively brining NDC V1 Gov online by empowering devs to BuiDL NDC Gov, Community members to define governance processes, and revitalizing and onboarding the Community to the NDC through rewards for onboarding to IamHuman.

  • MVP Gov products and processes that are lean and iterative.
  • What are the costs to BuiDL a decentralized society? The effort is massive multi-year and expansive. It’s surely north of 1M USD
  • We have industry-leading experts in the GWG with immense experience in enterprise-level Fortune 500 delivery, budgeting, and execution who our the stewards of the process.
  • What matters most right now is onboarding OG’s projects, communities, and verticals. The NDC is massively growing and new OG’s come forward weekly.

Community | Funding | Governance

By and for the NEAR Community

The Super Power of the GWG is, however the Community Contributors! :raised_hands: There is absolutely no way that NDC could be at its current state of progression without the support of the Community, Founders, Backers, NF, Pagoda, Proximity and the rest of the nodes. :raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands:

  • Simply put it’s never been done at this level, it’s raw, organic, evolving. We will not get it right upfront, it will take time, it will be iterative, it will be community-led.

Advisory Panels, Ecosystem Roundtables, Community Feedback Loops (as this one)

75% of things fail in the first five years. This is not contemplatable. In my view, if we fail to assemble the Community to NDC V1 Gov due to infighting, gangs, disbelief or not revitalizing our Community then it will fail massively and no more funding will transition to the Community Treasury.

Web3 is stressful, most Community members are managing 3-5 gigs to make it. NDC has the potential to be the Gig Economy in Web3. Shaped by the NEAR Community.

NDC PRINCIPLE II - You will be rewarded if you are a contributor to the NDC, directly contributing to BuiDL Web3 Gov. It must be verifiable via two other contributors. You can be removed from your gov contribution role for misconduct. No hiring process is required. All Gigs are outcome-based. We learned last cycle upfront payments should only be given for a high enough reputation level.

WE ARE ACCEPTING Q4 RETRO BOUNTIES. IF YOU

  • CONTRIBUTED TO A CHARTER
  • MODERATED A WG (workgroup)
  • SCHEDULED MEETINGS
  • CURATED A WG CONVO
  • WELCOMED NEW MEMBERS TO A WG

THE NDC (the Community) HAS SAID IT NEEDS A Q4 OR Q1 CONTRIBUTION JUSTIFICATION

  • What did you do
  • What is a modest reward for your contribution
