[Proposal to HoM] AC-DAO: NDC May Budget Application

Introduction

AC-DAO officially joined NDC on November 29, 2023, as a community-led project in the ecosystem category. Our mission is to facilitate the transition to the Near Digital Collective (NDC) through decentralized governance. Positioned within the NEAR and Aurora ecosystems, AC-DAO strives to empower a transparent community. This budget proposal aligns with NDC’s goals for equitable power distribution and the adoption of decentralized technologies, outlining our commitment to these objectives.

The most significant is the partnership with Aurora Labs. We have weekly calls on which discussing existing projects, generate ideas and plans for integrating the Aurora Network into third-party applications. Aurora Labs also provides us with applications or projects at the development stage for further research in support of these projects by AC-DAO.

Voted abstain.

Reasons:

  • team / council budget seems to be above 30% of total request
  • I find it difficult to evaluate impact based on current tracks metrics which seem to be only marketing focused

We have partner tools to track onchain activity, here is an example from the last month or so, as you can see at least 302 new wallets were created during this period and that’s just within this activity only.

Awesome, this is great to see. Does this show ~62% retention rate for those engaging in this program?

If so, is there any info on what the other 38% if accounts are doing (if anything) on Aurora?

Also, the 62% that have been retained? What was the cost per user? And are these users interacting with Aurora outside of paid activities?

Talentum is currently working on such a metric. Neither they nor we requested funds for this initiative, this is being done within the framework of previous supports
