[Approved] NEAR HUNTERS Community

NEAR HUNTERS - Russian-speaking Community

Hello everyone! Hunters team is pleased to present the first proposal for NEAR Community :rocket:

Our general goal is to increase community engagement in using network (that reflects on on-chain metrics on DappRadar), and to raise awareness of the Near ecosystem across web3-communities. For that we create educational media content, develop apps and Tg-bots, and organize regular online events in socials.

In July we’re aimed to adapt Hunters’ technical development and content production to the NEAR network by organizing diverse activities and events.

Specifically, we plan to perform:

1. Managing russian-speaking community chat, and operations - Daily
– Daily preparing Russian news content for the community news stream;
– Research, analysis, and testing dapps on NEAR;
– Connection with the NEAR ecosystem’ projects for inviting them to “How it Works” AMA sessions;
– Cross-marketing activity: connections with the different blockchain teams to arrange Community Voice chats in Russian for NEAR ecosystem (Previous sessions as examples: with Optimism; Aptos; Moonbeam; Tezos; Avalanche; Secret network; Algorand)
– Development and implementation of strategies for increasing community engagement:
Plan to reach 10К followers in Russian Telegram chat in a month.pdf (66,9 КБ) ;
– Administration of chats

2. Social media production:
– Live Test AMA sessions (on Telegram) with NEAR ecosystem projects’ teams - bi-weekly (2 per month)
– Short Video guides ‘How it works’ - bi-weekly (2 per month)
– NEAR Ecosystem dApp-review - weekly (4 per month)
– Community Voice chats in Russian with other blockchains’ active members - bi-weekly (2 per month)

3. Entertainment (Quests):
3.1. HuntersBet - prediction game around NEAR token price - Five events a week:
:one: HuntersBet tournament - the main tournament of the week;
:two: Zealy Bet - tournament on Zealy platform;
:three: Community Drop - a tournament where it’s not about getting the score right, just luck. Random prizes;
:four: Weekend tournament;
:five: Quick Tournament - fastest battle on the court, guess NEAR token rate in 5 hours, bets are accepted during 2 hours

3.2. Сommunity bot quests - Weekly (4 per month)
Every week Hunters will hold a tournament for the most active chat members. The top 10 chat participants will receive rewards (tips).

  1. Amplification and completion of the Сommunity bot development that works in Telegram chat:
    – collects statistics of active members in the chat weekly/daily
    – then, on its basis, it’s tipping (using tip-bot) for active users - need to integrate NEAR tipbot
    – can send tips for Telegram mini-games (bowling, cube, basket etc) - need to develop
    it’s already testing in the chat

Hello Techdir,

This Proposal falls in purview of the Regional Communities. @rc-admins and not with @marketingdao-council

As mentioned in your last proposal that was revieved about a week ago, it was mentioned RC only funds communities that has shown valueable activities on Near…

While your community has shown value on Aurora it also needs to show it can replicate same value tailored for Near native and BOS

Feel free to submit your proposal again after you have submitted atleast a trackable report that details your activities on Near.

What’s going on? I don’t understand.

Why @Ola rejects the proposal and @Dacha approves it at the same time. Does it mean that any rejection on the forum is not a final decision and you should just ask someone else to approve it?

Or if you @Ola have no rights to approve or reject such proposals - why do you make such comments which look like the final decision?

It’s very confusing and looks like there are no transparent rules and
everything is decided somewhere behind the scenes by personal agreements.

That’s a red flag. We have to avoid such things.

P.S. My personal opinion is that this proposal should be approved. I’m not following the Aurora ecosystem, but even I see Aurora hunters activity a lot. I hope they can bring such an effect into NEAR ecosystem. And asked funds look reasonable (more than half is dedicated to community rewards not to team rewards)

The problem is that RC DAO at the moment doesn’t have its own budget yet and it can only recommend approval. To MDAO, which can decide on its own whether to give money or not.

Actually, if you couldn’t get money from one GrassrootDAO you can just go for another, and get money there, it is not a problem. If your goals and expectations fit GrassrootDAO KPIs, why not?

But @Ola’s comment doesn’t look like a recommendation. Is there any post on a forum that describes relations between RC DAO and MDAO? Is there any post on the forum that describes the process of approving proposals including RC DAO recommendations?

Anyway let’s keep such things transparent, if RC DAO can only recommend decisions - RC DAO members should make their posts clear and for example mark their “RC DAO recommendation: …”

Otherwise it only confuses people and looks suspicious
