Hi @piyush

Love the angle and want to see more opportunities in the metaverse actually take off. The challenge I have with this project is the limited traction so far.

Can you please provide links to examples of what you’ve created so far?

Each of the initiatives lack the deliverables associated with them:
Discord
Your $600 covers what exactly?
Social media
How many posts, , what format, what types of work?

Content
Elaborate on the writing you will do and the distribution of this writing.

Graphics
40-50 posts (Frequency - GOOD) - but which channels will you be publishing on?
Do you have examples of this?

Manager
You’re already covering social media management.

Giveaways
How many? Do you have examples of this?

Please publish your report separately (not at the bottom of your previous proposal).

Given there’s already been a grant awarded to the project. I’m trying to understand how we can help this project get further along.

Hi @piyush i have reviewed your proposal and noted your replies.

Unfortunately i am unable to support.

I would echo the comment made by @Klint and add that In the current market conditions we have had to make some hard choices on which projects to allocate funding. Please feel free to resubmit in the future.

Thank you so much @Klint , we have just been started and building constantly. We have 1000+ followers on twitter, 400+ active audience in discord and everyone is very excited of what we are building.

Yes, We have received small builder grant from NF, but that is being utilized for developing the tech infrastructure of our product and was for product development only.

  • Create and engage community [AMA’s, Q&A, Conducting simple contents)

  • Gather community feedback and respond to queries

  • Manage offensive content to ensure safety of users as well as de3verse

  • Produce content that portrays the brand positively

  • Handle pressure to save brand from daunting situation

  • Bots Administration, server boost if required, as the community is growing: we might need to boost server.

  • This includes all the content that is included in graphical posts: including informative, educational, copyrighting

  • We are looking forward to start blogging content with infographics on mirror, medium that describes regular gamefi ecosystem in NEAR including ours. FREQUENCY: 12 articles/month

  • Writing impactful/creating infographics for recent development in near ecosystem, creating easy to grasp steps/tutorial for new users to get started with near ecosystem.

We though of hiring a dedicated-common-individual to manage and define the direction of each task but at this point, we think this is not very important: removing and adjusting the budget.

Thank you

Thank you for your inputs @cryptocredit , we have answered all the questions and also adjusted the budget.

Hi @piyush – thanks for the proposal and responses to questions from the council – and the revisions to the proposal. I know the process can be quite time-consuming, and we are working to improve/refine.

My take is that I like your project – I have followed your Twitter and social media content, and I see that you are building legit enthusiasm and also aiming to bring people into the NEAR ecosystem with a project that has the potential to increase multiple KPIs set forth by the NEAR Foundation in our assessment guidelines.

My two issues with the proposal are:

  • This is super early stage
  • You’ve already received NF grant funding, which is something we are aiming not to duplicate. Ideally, all projects given NF grants include marketing and go-to-market activities in their grant proposal. That said, I can appreciate that there has been a lot of conversation around all of these funding avenues and what is and isn’t covered in each, and it can lead to confusion at a time when the priority should be keep building and growing the ecosystem.

So with those things in mind, I can support this but for one month so we can evaluate. If you can submit a revised proposal for one month, I will support.

I do think you need to consider and create a path toward sustainability for your marketing funding going forward, as the Marketing DAO may not be able to continue monthly funding for all projects. Better to execute on additional revenue streams too!

Thanks for adjusting your proposal to one month.

I am willing to support this proposal. However, I do want to echo what Lorraine has mentioned:

  • We have some limitations on funding the marketing activities of projects directly (payroll)
  • We have some limitations on funding projects that have received NF Grants as this should include Marketing Money, etc.

Moving this proposal to approved. We can continue conversation and reassess next month.

You can proceed with an Astrodao POLL. After the poll has been formally approved, submit payout request to NF using this form.
