Where was this promised? In the discussion with Olga?
What exactly is the issue? Are you having problems regarding how to request funding?
I donât think there was anything wrong with your previous funding request but many of the questions and concerns went unanswered. There wasnât much adherence to the community led accountability which was trying to be enforced there (and is inherent in an open source environment like NEAR)
Sorry to hear that! The work you guys do is awesome but, as weâve mentioned in the past, please be prepared to answer questions from both the Council(s) and the wider NEAR Community.
To clarify; youâre looking for a more structured way of submitting funding requests? Are you aware that thereâs already a guide for this here?
We had a zoom with Shreyas, and later with Grace, and we asked for the standart form for making proposals. They promised to send, and we didnt recieve it. Glad to hear, that everything was good with our proposals. So the issue is that no discussion? But councils didnt ask questions, i am confused. Also, we thought that this monthly grant program was already voted, end of month was on 6-september. Almost 3 weeks all our people was without payment. When we have to start discussion for next month funds than? Maybe right now?
Itâs not exclusively the role of the Council to ask questions regarding funding. NEAR is a community-driven ecosystem and with that comes a level of community-driven accountability.
There were numerous questions which went unanswered, most of them from @Dacha. Iâve linked a few below
â
The ultimate goal of the NEAR Foundation is to make itself redundant. This wonât be possible without an increased level of community-driven accountability so, with that in mind, I think itâs important that all questions from all users are addressed when it comes to funding proposals.

There is a guide for this here. That guide includes an example post outline:
I think this goes back to what I mentioned here:
â
There is no guarantee that any proposal will be voted through. There was not sufficient discussion in the previous thread, no Council members chimed in as there were still a tonne of community questions which went unanswered.
If you mean funding for October then yes, absolutely. Feel free to submit it when youâre ready. However, please be prepared for questions from the NEAR Community and the Council(s).
If youâre still struggling to submit proposals even with the guide then please let me know in a response to this comment and Iâll get something more granular written up for you.
Cheers, and hope youâre having an awesome time in Kyiv with everyone

Why did you rented 3 offices for city node? Ps: You got money for 3 offices , your proposals were approved. [image][image]
[/quote
We rented 2. It was for 1 month. (hackathon time) Because we have house 25km from Mukachevo, we rented offices, where we could sleep at night if needed and work. Now we have 1 office in coworking, but its not paid yet.
Dear Dacha, we are trying to communicate, but every contact with you was demotivative and negative. You ask same questions again and again, and more we answer, the more you ask. And you are not transperant, but pretending to know everything about our lives. We dont have so much time for conversations with one person from big community, we have to work. I understand that you like to talk, but we really have to work and sleep sometimes)
Can you please share the responses to the questions that Dacha asked and I shared here:
If there is an excessive overreach of questions, and those questions add no value to the discussion or the proposal, then I agree itâs not welcome in the Forum. However, I donât see any instances of this at this moment.
Nobody claimed this, Dacha is as much a member of the Community Member as you and I. Please be open to answering all relevant questions from any member of the community regardless of personal feelings toward them.
Ok, you want us not work,but communicate on forum with Dacha. Can i ask questions too to all proposals?If its so important for Near and will make him fly to the moon?
We love Dacha btw. Especially if he is only one in forum that cares about near) And also, you builded so strong, huge community in his person, i think he is really One, chosen)
When you submit a proposal for funding you should be open to answering questions from anybody within the NEAR Community, this is at the core of an open and transparent community.
Absolutely! In fact, weâd love to see more of it and I encourage you to do so
I understand that youâre frustrated and, please donât think otherwise, Iâm here to help iron out any creases you might have along your NEAR journey.
However, I donât think itâs appropriate to respond with messages like this. Please review the Community Guidelines.
I am not frustrated, i am trying to understand forum questions from Community = 1 person. Answering questions = rejection. Everyone say âgood jobâ = rejection. Photo with cardboard, 280 followers= 300 Near monthly approved. its not a question just some thoughts)
Nothing was rejected on that thread, rather Illia funded before we could continue the discussion.
The problem, from where I see it, is the lack of responses to the questions which Iâve linked here a number of times
Everyone has an equal weighting in the community, and itâs fair to expect some members to be more vigilant and invested in the ecosystem than others.
Dear Dacha, where did you found this numbers? Why we have to answer on fake based information? For example, 1 office cost was 150$, Salary of 500 Near was at that moment 1165 $.
We sold this company long time ago to our friends. They are one of those local businesses that are ready to accept near as payment. And its not Frori, its Flori
I think this kind of sarcasm is totally inappropriate in a thread where funding is discussed.
@David_NEAR, who is part of the NEAR Core team if that matters to you (although I like the idea of everyone has an equal weighting in the community), gave an exact list of questions that went unanswered, which caused the discussion to stagnate in another thread, and asked for answers.
I would like to see these answers too.
âItâs fakeâ is not a kind of answer that can help solve the issue. @Dacha has provided you source of this information, If the information there is incorrect, it would be great if you could provide the correct
We sold this company long time ago to our friends.
So why do you keep listing this company in your structure?
I appreciate any initiatives at NEAR that help the ecosystem grow, including yours.
But Iâve read few reports and funding requests from you guys (@INFINITY and @Melody), and sometimes itâs really hard to recognize what are you requesting funding for.
