Hackathon Update
The Open Web Governance Challenge has been running for 2 weeks, and I’d like to highlight some project proposals. You still have time to share ideas, create a project proposal (example ), form your DAO, and solve real problems!
Projects are due Saturday, June 5 at 5pm EST.
Grand Prize: $5000 in NEAR
Runner Up: $2000 in NEAR
Honorable Mentions : $500 each
Welcome to Open Web Governance Challenge , hosted by Metagov and NEAR . For the most updated information, please see the challenge portal .
The Metagov SputnikDAO has been created in order to support governance experimentation within the Web3 community and specifically throughout the NEAR ecosystem. Over the course of the challenge, community members will be invited to submit project proposals to the DAO. These project proposals, if successfully passed, will allow participants to earn NEAR tokens …
Each team is expected to give a 5-minute presentation of their projects to the judges on Sunday, June 6 at 10am EST. If you can’t make it, please coordinate with the Metagov council to send in a 5-minute video.

A fantastic Panel Discussion and all the proposals are awesome. Just FYI I have created another DAO futarchygov.sputnikdao.near as I set wrong my NEAR address as a solo council member. Now the previous DAO futarchy.sputnikdao.near is deprecated. All your insights are welcome! Thanks

Hey there,
Thank you!
I just wanted to clarify that the Arroz Estúdios proposal is only the one for integrating NEAR through a payment app (the second one here in line). The other two have been submitted by me but for a different project which is not related to Arroz but the muti DAO.
