HIGHLIGHTS

We received a few applications from the NEAR community for the social manager post and the council is currently in the process of deciding who is the best fit for the LENS DAO. We have also contacted OWS in those regards as we consider them NEAR community and as they guarantee a better fit and conditions for the search of the social media position. We are in touch with them and are waiting for the submissions from their side.

The DAO has continued to shoot projects and work in collabs in order to provide high value content for the NEAR community even before having received the funds allocated for those specific projects.

Summary of the LENS DAO activities:

We would like to emphasise once more that we see LENS DAO as a service provider for the community. If a community member or DAO is in need of a video/photography for a specific project, we are happy to support them and create high-quality footage of their project/creative idea. The community member or DAO would not necessarily have to pay for it as our DAO covers the budget for it, as our members will create the footage for them. We see our DAO as helping hands to support the creative community within NEAR and the showcasing of NEAR protocol.

Our DAO is open for more collaborations and also has a studio space available in Cacilhas, Lisbon, which can be used/rented for exhibitions and events. We are also planning on supporting upcoming talents with stipends to help them grow.

If you would like to get in touch with us, feel free to reach out and contact us through our telegram group :slight_smile:
