Aurora dust [CANCELED, CANCELED CANCELED!]
Project
Description
Clicker game in Telegram. Collect space dust, convert it to on-chain dust tokens. Invite friends, improve upgrades, tap, tap and tap
How clicker help grow community
Clicker social mechanics help grow community by rewarding users for their engagement with tasks, competitions and shares. This encourages users to interact with each other and foster a sense of belonging within the community
Early design
Coins drop from top or generated in air by tap. UI structure close to another clickers. Background and vacuum cleaner skins can be changed

Why it is important
The audience for blockchain is important. A clicker is a good way to attract a large number of people to the blockchain through a game
Unique game mechanics
- Dust - collect dust that can be converted into real tokens
- Click - Clicking in the middle of the game has little effect on the number of coins, so your finger will not get tired, you can only occasionally enter the game to collect dust from the bag
Audience
Coverage
All chats related to NEAR and Aurora Network, as well as friendly chats
Languages
The audience coverage is wide, so support for several languages is planned. Initially English and Russian, the rest in order of popularity among the audience
Goal
Creating an application that will bring at least 100K users to the application
Public statistics
To track statistics, the dashboard in Grafana will be publicly available

What type of support is needed
Marketing
Our goal is to utilize the marketing expertise and community-building abilities of Aurora Labs to increase our presence in the blockchain gaming industry. By tapping into their established networks, we aim to attract and keep players, ultimately expanding our user base
Integration with projects
The Aurora team can help us communicate and integrate with projects by providing clear and consistent communication throughout the entire process. They can keep all team members informed about project updates, deadlines and expectations, helping to ensure that everyone is on the same page
Grant
$5,000 monthly on “Early version” and “Full version” stages for development
Stages
- Early version - 100% development
- Full version - 80% development and 20% marketing
- Contests and promotion - 70% marketing minimum
- Token - N/A. Ready to say after previous steps
Unexpected expenses
Since the game involves a larger number of online users, quite powerful servers may be required at any time. This is a good problem. I will hold back some of the grant if there is a sudden need to buy more capacity, but I think it is fair to ask for the grant to cover these costs if necessary
