Children of the DAO and FraDAO will split the sponsorship 5k each, making it possible and more affordable to participate. We will join forces to onboard and educate new potential users, doing new wallets, IAH verification, and showcasing bOS.

Blockchain will give to Children of The DAO - 1000 passports to the event. (worth 61k USD) , so with that, we will launch the “Near will take you to Blockchain Rio Festival” where people will make a near wallet, KYC, IAH and will win a Unique NFT through the Shard Dog link - “Humans of Brazil”.
Hi @whoiscavenaghi thanks for the proposal. It looks like a major event that will reach many people, and I note that Brazil is an important area of growth in the NEAR ecosystem.
Primarily I would like more detail in understanding what you’re proposing. It sounds like:
You’re collaborating with @frado (can you confirm and explain your involvement?), and together you will buy a $10K sponsor package. Is this screenshot from the deck accurate in terms of what you get for that amount?
If that is what you will get as a sponsor, what is the entity that will be the sponsor?
Who will speak and about what topics?
Is NEAR represented elsewhere at the conference?
How does social media engagement support this proposal as a deliverable for your team? It seems to me that the focus should be on activities and outcomes from the event itself vs. the MDAO funding the promoting the event?
Hello Lorraine! Yes, that’s the screenshot of the sponsorship! We are creating bonds between Brazilian DAOS to represent Near community here. Our involvement is to split the costs and share the space there as fraDAO and Children of The DAO.
If that is what you will get as a sponsor, what is the entity that will be the sponsor?
We aim to be the representatives of the Near community here in Brazil in the Blockchain Rio. Our main purpose is to represent Near Protocol there.
Who will speak and about what topics?
We got two spots as speakers ( one me and the other @frado ) I will be speaking about use cases of bOS and cross-chain use cases. I was invited as speaker for free already, and also to make one workshop. So we will have two workshops and two speakers. @frado will explain in his proposal his subject and approach.
Is NEAR represented elsewhere at the conference?
No!
How does social media engagement support this proposal as a deliverable for your team? It seems to me that the focus should be on activities and outcomes from the event itself vs. the MDAO funding the promoting the event?
Each onboarding and successful verification IAH will be generated an NFT proof of attendance, and new users will be encouraged to post the new NFT it on Twitter and Instagram tagging Near Protocol and the Near DAOS involved. We will make an effort to mix marketing engagement with educational “why Near and how Near”.
Workshops with practical use cases, like minting an NFT, and activities inside bOS. And we will also start a campaign on socials to giveaway that 1k event passports.
Remembering that @frado is creating his proposal, to exemplify the other half of our project. As soon it’s ready I will link here and vice versa.
Thanks for your attention… any clarifications I am here at your disposal. Thank you
Thanks for the answers and clarifications – I’ll wait to see more from @frado – will that proposal be part of the same budget? Be aware we may still be operating under a $50K cap for the month, and this proposal is already at the high end of the requests we have to evaluate for August.
Hi @whoiscavenaghi thanks for answering the questions and being open to feedback. I note the importance of reaching more people in Brazil, your focus on educating new audiences about BOS and your longstanding support of and involvement in the ecosystem.
Noting your patience as we’ve progressed through reviewing this proposal amid MDAO and ecosystem changes this summer. I’ll say something here similar to my reply to Trove Labs/Near at Night, Nearity, Near Insider and Boneyard. For August, MDAO must allocate funding with a focus NDC election and BOS.
Additionally, here’s the reality:
We have $203K+ in funding requests coming from the community for August
We have ~$46K to deploy. Your request, if funded, would require 25% of the funding available. We’re aiming to support as many projects as we can that educate and increase awareness around BOS.
We cannot fund everyone
The funding we can allocate is limited and needs to go to the ecosystem KPIs – which are NDC election and BOS content
Given the current situation, I think it is likely the most MDAO can do for this proposal is to support a grant for a lesser portion of the requested amount.
Is this an event you and your team/collaborators will participate in regardless of MDAO funding?
As outlined by @so608, unfortunately the Marketing DAO) have limited funds to disburse for this month and we a focused on supporting projects that align with ecosystem KPIs - primarily the NDC election and BOS.
