The following proposal is to support the development, marketing, launch of the BEEP BOOPS, the first human gated mint designed to bolster real users on NEAR and provide an open source framework to replicate such mints.
Problem
Any instance where there is some type of governance protocol, Potlock, NDC Election, the system gets botted. This leads to unfair distribution of airdrops, increased rugpulls in the ecosystem, and misallocation of resources to ineffective actors.
Additionally, only a few thousands of the millions of users on NEAR actually interact with multiple dapps. We are having a power law distribution of users where most are just stuck in their Web2.5 application

Moreover, although NEAR is in chain abstraction narrative where you can create accounts for users, their is a lack of connecting existing profiles and accounts. This causes a missed opportunity in narrative for interacting with cross chain ecosystems through portals like Farcaster and Lens.
Additionally, there is a lack of NFT drops from new communities in the ecosystem. While everyone gravitates towards meme coins, they are an underlooked aspect of NFT collections. Moreover, many NFT collections in the past have not been building open source and in public, resulting in IP disputes, dead communities, and lack of innovation for other communities to build. This can be seen with collections like NEAR Nauts, ASAC, Mara and other collections.
