About NEAR China Community

NEAR China Community is the second-largest regional community, boasting a robust community of over 13,000 members across Telegram and WeChat groups. As pioneers of the NEAR regional community, we have achieved remarkable growth over the course of three years.

Our Mission

Our core mission revolves around positioning NEAR as the leading Layer1 blockchain platform in the Chinese market. To achieve this goal, we have consistently taken substantial steps to drive user growth, nurture and onboard Chinese developers, and promote NEAR ecosystem projects. Additionally, we have been actively promoting the narrative that NEAR is the Blockchain Operating System (BOS) to the NEAR Chinese community.

Our Goals and Focus for September

  1. User onboarding and education through BOS
  • Educate users about the potential of BOS as a Web3 platform for communication, information sharing, and community growth in a user-friendly manner. This also includes content localization, tutorials etc.

  • Onboard new users through BOS and flagship dApps on NEAR .

  1. Marketing Campaigns to boost NEAR Awareness:
  • Create engaging marketing campaigns and online events that incentivize community members to learn about BOS, such as Twitter Space, Telegram live AMA, Quizes and Challenges.
  1. Community Management and Growth :
  • Retain and engage with our existing 13K+ members in the Chinese Community. Expand our reach and attract new members and partners to grow our community and spread the influence to other local communities including students and builders.

Our Past Achievements

Hi Bakaka, our august proposal didn’t get a reply in August. So we propose the September proposal here.

The September proposal fully follows the September guidelines. Why will it be closed?
