[Closed] DeNites Week (31 Oct - 4 Nov 2022): decentralized event for web3 projects in Lisbon

Project name : DeNites
Funding scheme: One-time

About DeNites

In October 2021 a group of Portugal-based web3 startups created DeNites, the unofficial afterparties for ETHLisbon, Nearcon, WebSummit t to showcase local projects. DeNites are community-led events to connect with local web3 projects and people in the most entertaining way possible. Our mission is to make everyone feel welcome in web3, by promoting real and meaningful connections. We do it through IRL events where both newbies and experts have an opportunity to meet and bond. Here we came to ask NEAR support of our next event.

Hi @pcbo – thanks for the proposal. Can you provide a breakdown of costs to explain why the funding amount is what it is?

We also need an understanding of the metrics and outcomes you’ll be using when you report back about the project, should it be funded. We typically prefer metrics that demonstrate a direct connection to growth in the NEAR ecosystem. Can you outline how this project will lead to new active NEAR wallet users, new devs or projects in the ecosystem, new active users of existing projects, etc?

Thanks!
