Thanks for your proposal Jaden,

Firstly I’d like to say that I had the opportunity to attend Korea Blockchain Week/Asia Buidl/ETH Seoul last year and meet the team in person.

There are a few things that I believe are very important to highlight and weight properly:

  • Korea is a MASSIVE market. Most people may not realise it as it is somewhat insular, but I was personally blown away by how much untapped potential there is. As a result, since then, NEAR Foundation has invested heavily in a ‘Hub’ focused on Business Development and secured major partnerships. This also has to be seen in context of a very aggressive competitive landscape where all major L1s are trying to gain territory.
  • NEAR is a Diamond sponsor of Asia Buidl and there will be a very heavy presence including Illia, Alex Shevshenko, Matt Lockyer, among others (including myself).

A few questions for the team:

  • Can we make sure that high profile NEAR people such as Illia and Alex Shevshenko attend the event?
  • Can we also invite the Korea Hub team and even partners that they’ve entered into. This would be top tier networking)
  • Are there any overlaps with the official NEAR programming (as Diamond sponsors) or Korea Hub?
  • Can you also confirm that this community event is not receiving any funding from any other source?
  • There is a strong chance that, even if approved, funding will not be available in time for the event. Are there any contingencies around this? (ability to cover funds and be reimbursed afterwards?)

Finally, some general commentary for fellow community members weighing in proposals:

One must be careful not to over index any one metric. Laser focus on a single metric, specially when it is done to advance a personal goal (i.e. IamHuman to NDC) risks dismissing most of the value proposition for the region. The challenge here is that the metric in question may be inadequate for the specific context. (i.e. at a conference when we can expose A LOT of people to NEAR, signing these brand new people to IamHuman is more likely to put them off because the app is so raw and new). Instead, using things such as Keypom that provide an actual smooth onboarding experience is preferred - first impressions matter.

Hello,

Thanks for your valuable feedback and questions. Here are the answers to your queries:

High-profile Attendance: We will invite high-profile NEAR people such as Illia and Alex Shevchenko to our event. If they can join. Their presence would be of immense value.

Involving the Korea Hub Team: We fully agree that inviting the Korea Hub team and their partners would enhance the networking opportunities at our event. We’ll make sure tell them attend.

Overlap with NEAR Programming or Korea Hub: We are coordinating closely with the NEAR programming team and Korea Hub to ensure there’s no overlap. Our event will complement the existing programs and provide additional value. This event is fundamentally a community-focused meetup. Our primary goal is to strengthen the NEAR community in South Korea by providing a platform for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.

Funding Sources: This community event is solely seeking funding from NEAR. We are not receiving any funding from other sources.

Funding Contingency: We understand that funding might not be available on time. If approved, we’re ready to cover the event costs initially and get reimbursed later when the funds are available.

Regarding your commentary on metrics, we agree that focusing too much on a single metric, especially in a new and diverse region like Korea, might not capture the full impact of the event. We’ll make sure to provide a balanced experience and create a positive first impression of NEAR. For a smoother onboarding experience, we can indeed use tools like Keypom. Our ultimate goal is to expose as many people as possible to NEAR in a way that leaves a lasting positive impression.

We appreciate your feedback and look forward to making this event a great success for NEAR and its community.
