Achievement & Side quests
*Joined NEAR Meet 9th April, brought 2 NEAR granted projects (UPFI, PawnProtocol), meeting with GFS (prestigious Near backer in VN), other VCs, and several SOL projects.
Here is the recap of the day:
Through the event, I come up with the idea of attracting SOL projects to NEAR, gonna prepare a pitch deck to answer their question about why NEAR & how to thrive on NEAR.
*Acquired the Ecosystem team’s approval on the content plan & UI/UX structure for the new website (nearprojects.guide). Nexstep waiting for @jcatnear & Rebecca for final checking in the sitemap before choosing the design & filling content. Link: NEARprojects.guide
*Onboarding 2 NFT/gaming projects: SpaceLauncher, Dead Kings, Squadrons
Barriers
*NEAR Grants Program Referral Initiative: trouble to input and delay to get feedback
*Grant process status: no clear way to check it
Finally, it’s great to work with my project ops team and receive strong support from the big @nearconciergeteam
Thank you @williamx for hosting the fruitful NEAR meet event, and @rimberjack for the Skyward IDO connection.
A new update, the Project Ops Team decided to share bi-weekly reports as now we are reporting also daily for the Concierge Team regarding moderation on a form made by @stanisnear
Answering community questions, also in NEAR official Discord German channel
Created content for NEAR German Twitter account
Moderated the first NEAR German Twitter Space which went 2 hours
Merchant DAO
Held a Telegram Voice meeting with @FritzWorm to gather ideas on how to structure the new Merchants DAO and what the next steps are
Created a Merchants DAO team group
NEXT STEP: Find suitable people who are willing and have the knowledge to join the Council and lead the Merchants DAO.
NEAR Representant
I started a new initiative to attend major blockchain events as a “NEAR representative”, which was approved by the Marketing DAO.
→ The proposal can be found here “NEAR representative”.
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the proposed event because I misunderstood the funding process and the event unfortunately took place 2 days later. Therefore, I started to research about upcoming blockchain events that could be interesting for NEAR and where I could present the benefits of NEAR as a NEAR Representative and the support we offer as @Conciergteam/Projects Ops.
→ The list can be found here: Blockchain Events.
The next proposal will be launched in the next few days.
On the agenda:
Project Ops <> ES Website: Joint group with the ES team works well. Content for the new support website is ready. The next step is waiting for review from @mecsbecs. [STATUS 50%]
Improving collab between Project Ops <> Aurora & Proximity to get faster feedback regarding grants status, because this is currently our main blocker. [STATUS 10%]
Building VC network to cross collaborate with Project Ops [STATUS 20%]
Cheers
Well, that’s it for now, I wish you all a happy Easter, enjoy the time with your loved ones!

Mintickt DAO
I met @Guille last year and joined Mintickt directly because we are aiming for the same goal. Recently I planned the funding strategy and together with Guille I finalized the proposal and submitted the application for a near grant. I will continue to invest more time in Mintickt DAO in the future as it has a very big potential to bring many new users to the Near ecosystem.
Finalized funding strategy
Finalized proposal and applied for NEAR Grant
NEAR Representant
I started an initiative last month to be a Near representative at various Blockchain events in Europe, connecting with people and introducing Near Blockchain to projects. I received very good feedback for my initiative from the community and the Marketing DAO and my proposal was approved by the Marketing DAO. You can check out the proposal for it here:
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the proposed event because I misunderstood the funding process and the event, unfortunately, took place 2 days later, so I planned to go to other events that will take place this year.
I did some research and listed the most important events in an Excel sheet, which you can see here. I also talked to @jcatnear & @mecsbecs who agreed to fund this initiative so I don’t have to claim marketing resources.
I will announce my proposal for this in the next few days.
Is it time for a new DAO?
I had the idea for a new DAO and @FritzWorm got in touch with me because he had a similar idea. I don’t want to tell too much, more will come soon, stay tuned

Finally, Thank you @ConciergeTeam - it a pleasure to work with all of u guys^^
Have a lovely weekend you all! Screw the bear we’gonna keep on building^^
With the last crash in crypto, in my opinion we are going to receive more attention, as peoples is liquidating assets from not so stable projects and they are going to look for the more stable and strong projects.
For example, @Jloc invite me to a meeting with two community leaders from Terra who are looking for cross collab and to come into NEAR with NFT Projects and on-chain Communities. So, we are onboarding them now, but these is not the first not the last, and more to come
No financial advice (ever)

Took part in the Near Sustainista Hackathon in Vienna from 27.05. - 30.05. and also won a prize with my team for our “Crypto Valve” idea. Here are some impressions:
I had a meeting with Mansa about how to proceed and develop Merchants DAO. He is currently translating the tutorials into English so that in the future we can offer tutorials for trading similar to LearnNearClub.
NEAR Representant
As the founder of NEAR German DAO, I participated in the Sustainista Blockchain Hackathon. I was able to get my first experience of what it’s like to be a Near Representative at events.
In my opinion, it was a successful event where I met many new people who most likely want to develop their project on Near as well.
You can find my new proposal for the Near Representant initiative here:

Project Ops
Even when things are going slow in comparison with other months, maybe related to a bear market sentiment, there are still project leaders building and looking for help. This month I want to feature the GeNEARy Metaverse proposal:
Happy to announce the kick-off of the NEAR Influencers initiative, together with the NEAR Community, where the main goal is to promote projects on NEAR and to show the world that we are a strong and united community
I have to mention that the help of @TheGo1denBull on this initiative has been key to making it happen.
The first project to help is the following: NEARverse Labs
More detail
Guilds / On-chain communities
As part of my duties, I am giving my best to help the leadership of several communities. For this month we have 3 on-chain communities A.K.A. Guilds to feature:
Near Argentina
Achievement → LATAM HUB
Merchants of NEAR
Achievement → Reboot of activities
Our biggest unofficial community is now more decentralized and is offering more opportunities to the community.
Thanks to communities where I am involved, as a host I was able to invite project leaders as speakers on Twitter spaces (both projects received from @HaiVu):
The long-pending goal is finally concluded. We now have a curated list of wallets with the most active NEAReans. Thanks to @KriptoRaptor and thanks to @Kemal for erasing all the non-legible addresses.
We run a AMA with NEARamp. The design is on hold. The initiative will resume soon.
Content is now approved. The next step is to build the website code/or use a template.
Hello Community,
Thanks, @FritzWorm for your support with our GENEARY Metaverse project.
We at the team are very thankful for your guidance and we are willing to return the favor with the Creatives DAO in several ways.
DAOs need a sustainable way of revenue to fulfill their initiatives, so we formally want to invite the Creatives DAO to reach an agreement for partnership and collaboration for mutual benefit.
Every project needs a robust community and certainly, you are the best fit to bring this awesome Metaverse to the level we want to achieve.
Our goal is to bring 1 Million users to our platform and we are sure we can reach it with this real collaboration.
I will be happy to discuss the opportunities we can collaborate with.
