General
Proposal Description
At OPAP our objective is to onboard the next wave of Web3 talents and provide continuous support to the growth and adoption of Ocean Protocol worldwide.
After successfully
- partnering with Ocean Missions in delivering quality Podcasts
- integrating Coordinape for governance
- introducing new streamlined processes and incentives such as Activity Farming, Impression mining, Leaderboard and after
- launching our first version of the OPAP website, we’re now planning to scale the program even further by coordinating with local communities worldwide to attract talents into the core of the Ocean ecosystem and develop targeted referral campaigns.
- Working with other OceanDAO grantees such as The Phoenix Guild and DoDAO
- Partnering with New Order DAO to help them amplify their products and produce content
With over 250 ambassadors from 40 nationalities, we want to take the necessary steps to create a community-led program and transform OPAP into a truly efficient AmbassadorDAO (OPAP DAO).
The program has currently been placed on hold as the OPAP treasury needs to be refilled. There are deliveries that Ambassadors have done in good faith, that need to be compensated and we would ask the Ocean Community to accept this proposal and help us reward the work of Ambassadors.
In order for Ocean to have a sustainable and valuable Ambassador Program we need sustainable funding and to also ensure that we compensate people according to their expectations.
We publish our Outreach activities publicly, and metrics such as Twitter Engagement, Impressions are shared on our Notion page openly.
Grant Deliverables
The following work has been delivered in good faith and remains to be compensated by OPAP:
- An e-Book focusing on educational content. It is based on the Ocean Academy and has been edited and curated.
- Twitter focused educational content with more than 25,000 unique impressions
- Micro grants for Ocean adjacent projects such as DoDAO, Ocean Missions and The Phoenix Guild
- Translation of Ocean educational content into Spanish, German and Chinese
👩🏾🤝👩🏻 - Stewardship of the OPAP DAO establishment
- Onboarding of new Ambassadors into the Program
- Management, Stewardship and Administration of the Program

The Ambassadors succeed in building trust and bridges across the Ocean ecosystem and the wider Crypto metaverse, by upholding values of:
- High Ethical Standards
