.

We are figuring out the mintbaseDAO roadmap with @mecsbecs soon next week, so prepare for that one 🙂

Since MintbaseDAO/Guild is reflecting on what it wants to make possible & how, the month of January was not the moooost active ever, but we had a lot of fun onboarding different projects.

For example the CasaT mentioned in the [october funding proposa](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-funding-for-createbase-october/7523/)l was finally onboarded

> [@\[APPROVED\] Funding for Createbase - October](https://gov.near.org/t/approved-funding-for-createbase-october/7523/11):
>
> - I am in contact with a House here in Lisbon called Casa T. It is a project that adopts trans people and migrants that have trouble finding a home. There are many performers and artists living in that space. I am still figuring out how we can make that work.

We finally opened their store:

> **[Bitte.ai - Blockchain empowered by AI Agents](https://bitte.ai)**
>
> Your portal to effortlessly launch cutting-edge Web3 experiences.

We are planning a series of workshops for the months of february and march which will be very exciting. The plan is to integreate these workshops with the [Near Meets](http://gov.near.org/t/coordinating-near-meetups/10401) activation.

It’s always kind of hard to recall each activity done throughout the month, but I hope this shows we have been active not only inside of what is seen here on the forum.

**Learnings:**

A major roadblock is that the wallets now need initial funding. This makes ticketing events for absolute newbies so much harder.

**Next Steps:**

The real life workshops mentioned above, more real life events for more engagement.

Elaboration of new Bounties

**What we have funded this month:**

Let’s start with the translation of articles- which was a success. 🙂

This month we really tried our best to outsource articles abut mintbase, with medium success. @reginamintbase and I decided to only work with known journalists form now on. The time we spent revising articles was just too much. Felt like we were english teachers and the end result was not what we expected. We still paid out for the work done, and are now thinking on where to use it.

Bounty for writing articles from scratch:

The current [public-facing website](https://createbase.community/) for MintbaseDAO no longer accurately reflects and communicates what today’s MintbaseDAO is. @marianeu summed this recent branding overhaul in [this Medium post](https://medium.com/mintbase/mintbasedao-is-the-new-createbase-920a34e45e67). As [I have built the previous Createbase website](http://gov.near.org/t/closed-bounty-createbase-gigs-earn-near-for-supporting-the-createbase-community/1091/2), I am not only familiar with the platform but also the community itself and the NFT platform it represents; [Mintbase.io](http://Mintbase.io).
