GM! With the MusicaW3 community, we are proud to share our activities for Milestone 1 throughout September and October.
Milestone 01: Creation of the necessary content for the talks, including presentations and promotional graphic material. Additionally, this stage involves planning and promoting the events.
Reviewing the agreed tasks for the workshop preparation:
Venue Rental:
The Argentina workshop will be held at Fundación Blockchain on Thursday, October 24th. It is a privileged space in Buenos Aires where various educational and blockchain adoption projects regularly meet to host courses and share content in their studios. We found this location to be an excellent environment for creators to come together comfortably to learn and share their onchain experiences.
Here is the Luma link for anyone in Argentina or if you know someone who may be interested. There is around 30 confirmed guests at this moment.
The second workshop, initially planned for Bogotá, had to be changed due to issues with local venues. As a result, we decided to deepen our mission of bringing workshops to places with strong potential, where there is a local community in need and where we can provide the resources for development. Therefore, our second workshop will now take place in Tucumán, Argentina, in collaboration with the Maskay Community , which has a strong cultural impact among creators. We have worked with them on various content creation activities and educational events. The event will be held on November 9th at Tamaño Oficio , a creative center and art workshop, where the conditions and location are optimal. We will also be joined by Stipinpixel, a local artist and educator, who will help us connect with more people in the local community.

Workshop Content:
The workshop is designed to attract new users looking to generate income in the new onchain economies. It covers a creator-focused approach that includes content circulation and monetization strategies, as well as mechanisms to generate income through governance and staking. This is where we introduce Meta Pool as an excellent tool for empowering individuals, offering easy access for beginners with no prior experience in DeFi or DAOs.

Media Planning:
We have designed various formats for different social media platforms. Additionally, we recorded a streaming studio video designed to generate impact within the local community and attract more creators.

Beyond using our official social media, part of our strategy involves communicating through our community’s internal channels. We believe that the intimacy created by platforms like Telegram, WhatsApp groups, Instagram community, Twitter chats, etc., is highly effective for live event promotion, networking, and amplifying the reach of our events.
We are also supported by the venue’s community, which is actively promoting the course and targeting our specific audience.

Brief Reflection
After months of dedicated work, we are thrilled to conclude the activities for the current Meta Pool grant. This journey has filled us with joy and renewed motivation to continue building a more inclusive future for Latin American artists and creators.
“Economic Tools for Onchain Creators” was a program aimed at addressing the lack of financial education resources in Spanish, specifically for blockchain creators. Through this initiative, we successfully hosted two in-person workshops and are preparing for an upcoming online session to explore how DeFi tools can be leveraged for creators’ benefit.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Meta Pool to develop future activities and strengthen our commitment to providing free, high-quality education for those eager to engage with new decentralized economies.
Additionally, we extend heartfelt thanks to the entire Meta Pool team, who supported us from the application process to the successful execution of this grant.
Online Promotion
In addition to the posts cited in the first milestone, we’ve included links to the events and recap posts expressing our gratitude to Meta Pool.
Challenges
The primary challenge we faced during the workshops was simplifying advanced financial concepts for creators and artists with little to no prior experience, even in traditional financial systems. This issue is compounded in Argentina, where the population has historically been underserved by traditional financial institutions. Only a privileged minority has had access to these mechanisms.
However, this challenge also presented an opportunity: fostering awareness about the value of money and the potential to achieve greater returns compared to traditional savings through decentralized finance.
Participants were highly engaged, showing great interest in the information shared. Many saw Meta Pool as a promising entry point for staking or exploring decentralized governance systems. Meta Pool’s user-friendly interface and experience for beginners played a crucial role in this.
