[CUDO DAO] - FUNDING PROPOSAL FOR CUDO DAO [JUN] - [2023]
- DAO introduction
We are CUDO DAO - IMMIGRANT AUDIOVISUAL, made by Immigrants and designed to welcome immigrant professionals.
CUDO DAO was born in the May 2021 hackathon and since then we are one of the most productive DAOs in the entire ecosystem. Seeing the possibility of combining the most diverse projects with the support of NEAR PROTOCOL, we envisioned the opportunity to create a DAO focused on audiovisual made by Brazilian immigrants living in Portugal and designed to welcome and produce audiovisual for immigrants and natives from all over the world.

Thiago’s portfolio is diverse, include essays, products and portraits made in Brazil, Serbia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Hungary and Portugal.

He is also responsible for the conception and realization of the Retrato Falado project, which in less than a year already has more than 10 powerful interviews.

Since August 2021, we have grown a lot in number of members, followers and subscribers. Thanks to the CREATIVES DAO we improved our presence on social media and now we’re presented on Instagram (commonly with views above 1k), Twitter, in our own website and in our YouTube Channel (with more than 20k views).

- Participation on NEAR CON 2021 as workers and as artists on the NFT Gallery during the event.
- Presencial workshop on Lanternas Inspiradoras
- Coverage on Metaopoly
- First MUTISESSION alive in Habitat
From August to now, we have solicited 15 proposals in the Creatives DAO, 14 have been approved, and one was unclassified.
Our council is formed by 3 council members, and 40 community members that now have power to vote in all our proposals.
We have more than 2,5 K NFT minted on Mintbase from more than 40 different artists.
With this news projects we’re looking for others store like PARAS and Few& Far.
For the last, we created relationship and projects with the Web3 companies:
And the web2/IRL companies:
- Genre - What category does your DAO fall under
- AUDIOVISUAL focused in MUSIC, CULTURE and Art
- Impact
Throughout a year and a half of activity we were responsible for an economic impact on the lives of dozens of audiovisual workers in Portugal, Brazil, and other parts of the world. Thanks to our bounties managed throughout this trajectory, dozens of photographers, illustrators and writers were able to earn their first cryptos and realize that with their art it was indeed possible to generate some income.
Furthermore, with our larger productions such as CUBASHOTS, Retrato Falado, and MUTISESSION, we were able to ensure that larger technical teams were formed, thus generating income for sound technicians, studio rentals, camera crews, assistants, screenwriters, and producers.
Our impact is also worthwhile in the social sphere, reaching new artists who have had the opportunity to have their first works valued and exhibited on a worldwide platform.
Last but not least, with our work we were able to bring a professional structure, inaccessible to most artists, to record the work of promising musicians, visual artists, and dancers.
What we do at this DAO is look for ways to make resources available for projects that, when realized, employ people, push artists forward, and reveal capabilities.
