Next steps

Thanks to information and insights we’ve collected through out this month, Team HOC has decided to:

1. Bringing more people to our team

2. Launch HOC DAO in Astro
   

3. Change our project wallet to HOCDAO.NEAR and transfer our previous wallet funds to the new one

4. Continue Set Up Shop’s activities

5. Create presentation documentation about the NEAR wallet that can be used for educational/informative purposes (eg, onboarding sessions)

6. Do an experiment with the staking feature on the NEAR Testnet Wallet. This case study will be part of the previously mentioned documentation

7. Attend Generation Crypto Conference

8. Enroll on NEAR University courses

9. Keep networking and searching for ways to create community-driven innovation within the NEAR Ecosystem

Thanks,

HOC Team
