Achievements/Milestones
Project Objectives & KPIs: Widening Adoption of NEAR:
P-1.1: Outreach to New Audiences CoA priority
Continuous outreach to new audiences is the source of new community members and ideas. That’s why we believe this priority is a cornerstone for the NDC. There are many initiatives that fall into this category and we intentionally do not want to limit what is possible. However, here are some ideas that can be explored:
-
Referral systems for the ecosystem.
-
Activation of the protocol’s daily usage through gamification mechanics (for example, leaderboards).
-
Demonstration of NEAR to non-blockchain communities:
- TradFi apps seeking exposure to DeFi yield;
- Traditional software companies seeking to offload security and risk to blockchain;*
- AI/ML data provenance;*
- Social apps with data privacy requirements and possible network effects.
- Universities engaging with developers and IT tech students)
- Completed Milestones in March:
| KPIs | Achieved Numbers | |
|---|---|---|
| Newly onboarded wallets | 868 | |
| Transactions from these new wallets | 25K+ | |
| Online/offline activities (AMA, Community Calls, offline events & more) | 36 | |
| Developers Workshop (BOS workshop, Trainining courses Useful dApps) | 17 | |
| Partnership with non-blockchain communities (TradFi apps, software companies, AI/ML data provenance & other web2 companies) | 16 | |
| Videos Created (YouTube, Instagram & TikTok) | 35 |

- Challenges: Despite the strides made, our communities encountered various challenges in March. As I have mentioned in last month’s report that most of our communities’ Twitter accounts were suspended by Twitter, this month we have faced the consequences as we got less impressions on new Twitter accounts that were created by communities as a replacement of suspended accounts (it takes time to grow Twitter & getting impressions on new accounts is tough as compared to already grown accounts). But the good thing is, NF is working with the legal process. I hope it will be fixed soon.
Detailed KPIs & Impact on Ecosystem
- Wallet Creation and IAH Verification: A total of 868 wallets were onboarded in March, contributing to the expansion of our user base and ecosystem. Additionally, we have started IAH verification in communities. We don’t have exact numbers of verified users in March. But it was a pretty decent start. Our local communities had a significant participation in the VB polls, with around 65-75% of voters coming from Near regional communities. We made sure to be fair and never asked people to vote for rewards. Our main goal was to let communities share their thoughts without pushing anyone to vote for something in return.
- Online/Offline Events: In March, regional communities organized a total of 36 online/offline events, enhancing visibility, education, and spreading NEAR around the world. These events served as platforms for knowledge exchange, skill development, and community building.
- Partnerships with non-blockchain communities: Regional communities managed to initiate 16 strategic partnerships with non-blockchain communities, expanding our reach and impact beyond the blockchain space. These partnerships include partnership with TradFi apps, Traditional software companies, Social apps, AI/ML data provenance initiatives, and universities engaging with developers and IT tech students. Sharing some highlights from these partnerships:
-
NEAR German partnership with OneFinance - all-in-one app for your finances with AI integration and a smart bonus program.
- OneFinance is considering launching their new token on Near Protocol.
- Near Vietnam partnership with Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association (HCA)
Objectives:
- HCA will be the news partner for NEAR VIETNAM DAO and
connect NEAR VIETNAM DAO to Web2, Web3 businesses & universities
and technology colleges.
- NEAR VIETNAM DAO accompanies HCA events, and supports NEAR’s technology, promotes project incubation funding, and contributes to popularizing blockchain, Web3, and the image of NEAR PROTOCOL in Vietnam.

- Transactions Through Gamification and Other dApps: To get more people to use dApps, we organized fun activities in Zealy and other platforms. These activities encouraged users to try out different dApps on the NEAR platform and dApps facilitated over 25K transactions within our ecosystem. This not only helps more people start using NEAR but also shows how making things fun can get more people involved in the NEAR community.
-
How did we calculated this?
-
We asked all the community leaders to collect newly onboarded wallets from their community and to attach their pikespeak link in a sheet and write the number of transactions of each wallet. However, as we all know currently we don’t have any tracking dashboard. We councils personally checked a few random wallets from the list of each guild if the numbers are really true. Although, stats were correct but still we think it’s approx. numbers not the exact numbers. We believe there might be a 5-10% difference in these stats (can be lower or higher). Hopefully, we will have a dashboard soon for tracking so that we can track exact growth.

-
Developer Training Sessions: A total of 17 developer training sessions were conducted, equipping the communities with the knowledge and skills necessary to build and innovate within the Near Protocol ecosystem. These sessions were meant to help new developers in the community to learn the necessary skills and information to build in the NEAR ecosystem. We want to encourage innovation and make our community stronger.

Social Media growth: As I mentioned we had several Twitter suspensions in February, this affected our Twitter growth in March. Apart from this, we did great in overall stats. Our stats reflect the rising interest and awareness to empower communities worldwide.
Our active presence on these platforms got greater visibility through guilds’ initiatives and events.
