GM Metapoolers!
I’m Hanz, as a Meta Pool Ambassador. Here are some of my activities with Meta Pool in April 2025:
1. Build Buddies
[Week 1 - Hanoi Build Buddies] - This week, I mainly communicated about the scholarship with the University of Zurich and the extension of the deadline for participating in mpDAO Grant 12
[Week 2 - Hanoi Build Buddies] - This week, Build Buddies had quite few people joined. Fortunately, CTO of Vistia (a project joined grant 12) joined this meet up and we had talk a lots about the development of AI Agent on NEAR Ecosystem.
[Week 3 - Hanoi Build Buddies] - One week after the end of mpDAO Grant 12, a lots people joined. We have connected with Vistia team to join a private meetup next Friday.
[Week 4 - Hanoi Build Buddies] - We played pool together and there were a few guests who also played pool at another table after learning about the project. I assisted them in accessing the Meta Pool platform through the website. The strange thing was that they did not want to be photographed.
2. AMA Sessions
[Week 2 - Talk about tariff & promote Meta Pool IP Staking] - Small talk about how to stake IP on MetaPool Dashboard, the risk & the APY user can earn from it
[Week 3 - Build Buddies By Night] - An AMA with other MetaPool ambassadors. There were close to 100 people in attendance. We talked about the whole project, from staking, communications to governance, voting and how to buy/lock mpDAO
[Week 4 - Onchain Trading & $mpDAO] - The main topic was onchain trading. During the Space session, I also shared how to buy mpDAO and what to use it for in the MetaPool ecosystem.
3. X Post
[Week 1 Thread - mpDAO Grant Open Call Extended] - I highlighted that Meta Pool has extended the deadline to submit AI Agent projects until April 11, 2025. It encourages those building AI/AI Agent projects to apply for Meta Pool’s grant program, which focuses on AI integration in DeFi and blockchain within the MetaPool ecosystem.
[Week 2 Thread - Build Buddies Vietnam Shill] - I announced a “Meta Pool Build Buddies” coffee meetup event in Hanoi, Saigon, and Da Nang from April 11-13, 2025, targeting crypto enthusiasts, builders, and students interested in networking and learning about Web3 projects.
[Week 3 Long Post - Scholarship Program Shill] - The University of Zurich, ranked No. 1 in blockchain education by CoinDesk in 2021 and 2022, is offering a “Deep Dive into Blockchain 2025” summer program with 5 scholarships for Vietnamese students, sponsored by Meta Pool. The online course, running from June 30 to July 18, 2025, targets students with a deadline to apply by April 24, 2025, requiring documents like a passport scan, CV, and academic transcripts.
4. LinkedIn Post
[Week 3 Long Post - Scholarship Program Shill] - Same to my X’post on Week 3 above
5. Telegram Post
[Week 3 - Partnership announcement between my community & MetaPool VN] - DCCK Research (my community) has partnered with Meta Pool, a leading multi-chain Liquid (Re)Staking protocol operating on Layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, Near Protocol, ICP, and Story Protocol, to deliver in-depth research, support local events in Vietnam, and share early alpha insights and high-yield staking strategies with the DCCK community. A detailed research piece on Meta Pool will soon be published on DCCK’s Substack, and users can start staking immediately via Meta Pool’s platform while following its 2025 expansion for potential hidden gem opportunities.
To sum up the month, I am quite pleased with the increase in Build Buddies attendance.
Next month, the goal is to promote TVL Staking in the ecosystem (as the market is hotter than before) and continue to maintain the number of meetups over 10 people
I have also changed the weekly meetup venue to a more beautiful and airy space.
