Who Am I?
Hi NEAR community!
My name is cryptocomix, and I’m a content creator and educator focused on breaking down complex blockchain topics into digestible, viral content across short-form platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
You may know me from:
TikTok: _cryptocomix. — where I’ve built a growing audience by turning dense technical topics into snappy, viral clips
YouTube: CryptoComix — 14K+ subscribers tuning in for bite-sized explainers and creative breakdowns of everything from crypto to economic systems.
I have a proven knack for bridging the gap between tech and retail, and I want to bring that skillset to the NEAR Protocol—specifically on TikTok, where Gen Z and millennial investors and developers are looking for their next ecosystem to explore.
Vision: Why TikTok? Why NEAR?
The NEAR Protocol has a huge story to tell—from account abstraction and Nightshade sharding to its developer-friendly onboarding and active ecosystem. But right now, that story isn’t reaching the masses where they spend time: TikTok.
My proposal is to create a dedicated TikTok channel for NEAR, built around high-impact, educational, meme-native content designed to:
Attract new users and devs to NEAR
Translate technical innovations into content that actually lands
Position NEAR as the fun, smart, and accessible ecosystem it is
Content Plan (Monthly)
I’ll produce 20 high-quality short-form videos per month, including:
NEAR News Flashes
Fast, punchy updates about ecosystem changes, launches, and governance milestones.
“WTF Is This Protocol?”
Funny but accurate breakdowns of NEAR concepts (e.g. “WTF is FastAuth?” “WTF is Aurora?”)
Visual Explainers + Diagrams
Visual walkthroughs of complex systems like sharding, staking, or zk tech—tailored for short-form consumption.
Meme Commentary / Duets / Reactions
Leveraging trending sounds and TikTok memes to put NEAR into cultural conversations.
Dev/Builder Highlights
Featuring cool tools, dapps, or ecosystem wins in <60 second “hype reels.”
Team + Workflow
This is a solo-led project supported by a dedicated freelance editor. I handle:
Scripting
Voiceover & performance
Visual planning
Strategy + engagement
Editor handles:
Final TikTok-style edits (jump cuts, memes, effects, subtitling)
Metrics & KPIs
I will track:
Views per video
Follower growth
Engagement rate
Traffic source click-throughs to NEAR links, where applicable
Sample of previous TikToks that reached >100K views available on request.
Budget Breakdown (Monthly)
Content Creation (1300 NEAR): This covers the planning, scripting, filming, and publishing of 20 high-quality TikTok videos per month specifically focused on the NEAR Protocol. Each video will be tailored to educate, entertain, and go viral within crypto-native and retail audiences.
Editor (456 NEAR): A freelance editor will be hired to handle fast-paced TikTok-style edits, including motion graphics, captions, sound syncing, memes, and effects that are optimized for short-form platforms.
Editing Software (91 NEAR): This includes monthly licensing fees for professional-grade editing tools such as Adobe Creative Suite or CapCut Pro, which are essential for producing polished, scroll-stopping content.
Total requested funding: 1,847 NEAR per month.
Why This Matters
NEAR is a tech-first ecosystem—but its story isn’t being told in a way the average user understands.
TikTok is the fastest-growing platform for crypto onboarding, especially for Gen Z.
This proposal isn’t just about making videos—it’s about making NEAR cool, viral, and sticky.
Deliverables (Per Month)
20 original NEAR TikToks (uploaded to a new or co-branded NEAR channel)
Full tracking dashboard (views, comments, shares, CTRs)
Monthly content report + feedback loop with NEAR Marketing / Community
Long-Term Vision
This channel can evolve into:
NEAR Shorts (YouTube crossposting)
Collaborations with NEAR dApps
Sponsored explainers for new NEAR launches
Co-marketing with other NEAR Guilds or DAOs
I love this space and believe NEAR has one of the best shot at mass adoption—but only if we tell its story right. Let’s make NEAR viral.
Thank you for your consideration.

Wasted budget, imo.
