[REPORT] APRIL Monthly Report - Argentina Guild

Hey there fellow NEARians. How is your day going? Hope it’s going pretty well!
A tad late for the report, it was expected on the 20th! But here we are! Reporting this incredible and parabolic month that we had.

We will try to keep it short in order to maximize efficiency and read time from everyone as well, if anyone wants me to expand in any topic let me know in the comments :slight_smile:
(As always here is the last report for further references on growth).

Socials @Turco @nacho.near

Well, this month has been quite the ride. We had a 50% growth in March, and we expected to have another 50% or so, in order to complete the objectives of the funding we were granted by the Marketing DAO vertical.

The 250 members in Telegram and the 500 followers on Twitter we expected by the end of MAY were easily passed this month.

We have as of this moment 356 members on Telegram and 949 followers on Twitter, accounting for an unbelievable 141% approximate growth on Telegram and almost a 300% growth on Twitter. This blew all of our expectations even with our plans for the future.
We know these numbers may not always be that parabolic, but we will continue to work even harder to aim for new objectives with our current community.

We are starting to see the real demand that the Argentinian community has for education and opportunities to get into new projects and initiatives to help Near grow even further. And we are shaping our community to be qualified with Near Certifications to be able to participate in projects and show the value they can offer.

We realized multiple spaces/meetups this month and we worked pretty hard to get our community to join the certifications (more on those metrics below).

The 300 @nacho.near @leamanza

This is a quote from February’s budget ask, in which we were aiming to raise the number of members on Telegram but we expected them to join the certifications. We were anticipating that there would be around 15 to 20 certified members of our community.

Here we have an excel with the students that took the certifications up until now.

We gathered 97 students to take part in the Near Certifications, and we are expecting the results from them recorded by Near Hispano.
We turned our 300 project into a Regionals Hub project with them in order to get better guidance and to coordinate efforts to propel each region in LATAM.

We are confident that more than 20 members of our community are already certified members but we are waiting for their official confirmation documented so we can upload it into the next reports that we will have monthly.
I am certain they are more than 20, I already have several talks with @Turco @mariozito @leamanza @DarioFS @chicharra.near Alejo Fabiano, @user1 and many more who are active certified members and who brought also new members to be certified.

We are also opening new wallets to onboard students and people interested to participate in the ecosystem, this was not contemplated on the marketing proposal but since we had a remainder money from the growth of Near from 7.81 to 12 or more, we decided to use that part of the money to start this initiative, we will seek to allocate a separate amount of diverse funding that we receive to keep this initiative going as far as we can.
Here is the sheet related to the initiative and how many we opened so far.

This would be the entire advance on the 300 project, we are still waiting for approval on the whole Regional Hubs project to grow even further what we are doing so far and to hopefully get even better numbers!
Thanks to everyone involved in the project, special thanks to @leamanza @Turco @chicharra.near @DarioFS for being in our day to day holding the community together :blush:
