Howdy guys=)) So it has been a tough and brutal week not only NEAR but for the whole market. Nevertheless, I’m also proud to say that despite the bear, we were still keen on building and connecting projects which want to choose Near/Aurora as their destination to build
And down here is a table showing the main projects I assisted last week ( 30.04 - 15.05):

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 <> ES [STATUS 70%]
We are currently writing the content for the website so that we can take the next steps.
That’s it for this cycle, see you guys again in two weeks.

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.

NEAR Representant
I was a NEAR representative at the European Blockchain Convention in Barcelona from June 26-28. My tasks were to represent NEAR at the event, make new contacts and find possible projects that would like to launch on NEAR.
You can see details about the event and my report here.
Hello =) it has been a hard last month mainly because of some big changes in the Community team in addition to me being dad haha, I am a proud father of my 1st son, here the tweet pic =):
Nearprojects.guide is meant to be the place to onboard entrepreneurs, with all the important links and relevant information.
I proposed the website idea as the first step to later start running our own Community Calls/Twitter Spaces where we can spread educational information on how to build on NEAR.
The idea was well supported by the whole team and then we received help from the Ecosystem Success team with MarcusNEAR
@HaiVu took care of the organization, giving structure and creating the path to gather all the information where the whole team participated actively, using the following presentation:
Now we all update our google site where at the moment you can check the following draft:
This is done by interaction and discussion among our members, where a project is selected after reviewing it as NFT critics, then a thread is created and the thread is promoted thanks to a coordinated effort where we all quote, making the Twitter algorithm also help the promotion of the information.
@TheGo1denBull has been also leading this initiative, and he shared the first thread:
This is a very new initiative where our Channel Ops team is sharing there the resume from AMAs they are running. Now we also will like to share guides and educational content, even informative stories to highlight some NEAR projects as the following:
@mukuls9971 has also created content which is waiting for review, if anyone wants to give us any feedback:
Near Certified Creatives
This is an initiative to build a standard when onboarding creators, the idea is to run this with experienced members from the Creatives DAO and in partnership with NEAR University
Here is my video created specifically for this initiative to explain “Blockchain” which could be part of the module 1 of the NCC:
Welcome messages
As Moderator for the Creatives DAO Telegram account: Telegram: Contact @CreativeGuilds I managed to add a cool welcome message with a gif where the NEAR tokens have some movement. Please join the telegram group to enjoy it.
Determine if NEAR_Blockchain will work to run Twitter Spaces or if we should create a new Twitter Account to be managed by the Community (us) so we can run Community Calls. As I understand, even when @bailey12 has access to it and is helping us to spread the word about projects, the owner and ruler of that account is an external team and not us ConciergeTeam
A proposal of animated stickers for the main telegram group
T-Shirts designs + Possible Cross Collab with Swag Store

Hello fam, this is possibly my last report as part of the @ConciergeTeam
I am very proud of what we achieved as a team in less than a year, helping to shape our NEAR culture where we all are very helpful to each other. We grew the unofficial community telegram group where people can freely express and discuss any topic, hosted AMAs, supported communities and projects, and of course, we watch out over all the main community communication channels.
The pending tasks from last month are being held while we are having a restructuration.
Last month I offered support to the following projects:
