Hello Polkadot community!
My name's Claudio, Polkadot Ambassador and I also run the KryptosChain media brand (Youtube & Twitter), you likely have heard of me before, either because you watched my videos or because you have seen me actively contributing in governance in the last number of months., but if you don't. I'm an ex-Database Developer who developed a passion for content creation in Web3 and have started a Youtube channel in April of 2018 with the scope to share my research with other crypto enthusiasts as well as use my tech knowledge to do tutorials and try and explain users something techier in a non tech way.
As Polkadot launched in 2020, I started doing media coverage about the ecosystem and have since been doing mostly that.
I had previously raised a proposal (not for my main KryptosChain channel) in January 2023 which had passed public voting and which is #Ref.46 and has since been delivered. You can find the final delivery report here. This was an initiative to grow a Romanian community who didn't have any content available about Polkadot.
While delivering the proposal for #Ref.46 I had continued to produce content on my main channel, KryptosChain including interviews with Founders from the Polkadot ecosystem without requesting additional funding from the Treasury and had been managed within that budget as the KSM price had performed very well between referendum start date and receiving the funds and I felt it was only normal to do that for the community.
This new proposal is to request treasury funding for continued support of the ecosystem through media marketing.
To produce a total of 25 videos over a period of 2 months of the following types:
5 x Comparison videos between the Cosmos & Polkadot ecosystems
(Compare products such as DEFI dApps, wallets and NFT marketplaces from the above ecosystem to those on Polkadot and talk about the pros & cons)
General Polkadot ecosystem news x 5 videos
Open Governance news regarding treasury spends x 5 videos (on Polkadot only)
Interviews with Founders / Co-Founders or other team members x 10 videos
You can find the full proposal here
There has been no discussion opened as this is a Big Tipper request and not a Spender, thus it's for a short period of time.
The requested amount is 932.45 DOT , worth approximately $4,625 @ $4.96 per DOT at today's market price. Should the price of DOT appreciate within the 7 days + the additional days before the payment from the treasury is sent, I will be transferring the extra DOT back to the Treasury. Should the price drop, I will work with what I got and should it drop by a lot, I will be requesting an additional top-up to make up for it in a separate proposal (Let's hope it won't be needed).
I look forward to your feedback over these next 7 days of the referendum.
Regards,
Claudio
