Hi I would like to ask for a Project reward for [the Varda project](https://www.varda.vision) for may, we are willing to rebuild our schedule for launching the founders’ NFT staves on July, based on the support from Paras for a Drop on their platform. We already have some NFTs on sale to fund our project on paras [at this link](https://paras.id/jilt.near/creation), two of them have already sold and one is scheduled for launching this week during the Rare Effect event. Varda will be a card a videogame on Viking symbols, each NFT released for the game will have the option of being played on the game of staked on a forming list of validators, we target a public of gamers and NFT investors. The Fouders’ staves will be on sale to promote and fund the game development from July to september, when the game will be out with a selected number of artists. We ask 180 near funds to be able to hire one influencer and one copyrighter from the selected art niche of symbology and viking art for sponsoring the july drop and rebuild the website copy. ---

Hi as requested to finalise the Request for funding Varda: **Deliverables** Budget is intended to boost the Varda project into the online community and culture it refers to in order for artists and game players to get involved. main targets are: [Jackson Crawford](https://jacksonwcrawford.com/) youtube channel with more than 160.000 subscribers for historical proved references, using the 10$/month tier of his [patreon](https://www.patreon.com/norsebysw) to interact with his community and be referenced at the end of his videos. [Freya Norling norse witches youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/freyiaTV) with 27.000 subscribers using the [nine worlds tier of her patreon](https://www.patreon.com/FreyiaNorling), to be visible to her youtube community and engage in her facebook closed group 115$ each month. Lars Sparby [book review blog](https://eldritchpopkitsch.com/) with [600 followers](https://www.instagram.com/eldritchpopkitsch/) and [40 paying supporters](https://ko-fi.com/eldritchpopkitsch) to review books (one each month) about protection symbols and mythology as a reference to use for the first collabs with artists and to spread word about graldrastafir. (Lars has already made the music for our game, and is involved in closed group communities on symbols reading and history) 100$ each month. With remaining funds and fund raised [using our NFTs](https://paras.id/jilt.near/creation) we plan to pay [Maria Shen](https://twitter.com/MariaShen), a tech savvy copywriter who works for [Electriccapital](https://t.co/BbBhFrWvwj?amp=1) to update the website copy, write for the [near.org](http://near.org) blog and reach a wider audience of investors. **Impact** On stage 1 we wish to sell on paras high value NFTs to get in touch with high value investors on the Near NFT world and let them stake their investments on selected near validators nodes to improve the network (July). On stage 2 we wish to engage a gaming community connected with the nordic mythology communities online, leveraging their culture in a socially inclusive and healthy way (as described in the Freya videos like [this one](https://youtu.be/Vab_xgWS1Zk)) and involving them in 2 play to earn mechanics, the [smart stake token](https://learn.figment.io/network-documentation/near/tutorials/1-project_overview/8-stake-pool-contract) mechanics that leverages near validators nodes and farming mechanics similar to the ones used in [berryclub.io](https://berryclub.io/). The two steps are built to raise a group on NFT investors on the Near ecosystem resembling the ones that invested in the [gods unchained mythic cards](https://opensea.io/assets/gods-unchained?search%5BstringTraits%5D%5B0%5D%5Bname%5D=rarity&search%5BstringTraits%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalues%5D%5B0%5D=mythic) and to develop a community with high identity values. ---

Impact on near ecosystem: The money from the forst NFT paras drop INVESTORS on july will be devoted to NEAR blockchain nodes using staking mechanisms. This will impact both the NFT ecosystem and the validators of the NEAR blockchain. Delivarables: The ammount of videos in which Varda will be present each month on youtube will be at least 4 with a potential of 180.000 views plus interaction in the private communities mentioned. The total blog posts articulated on the culture Varda leverages will be 1 book review each month plus 1 technical article on the [near.org](http://near.org) blog and one on the Varda website, both mentioning Sandbox. Hope this one is clear to you.
