Ocean Protocol Ambassador Program (OPAP) | Ocean Protocol Ambassador Program (OPAP) | Round 17

OceanDAO Round 17
#1

Project Name

Ocean Protocol Ambassador Program (OPAP)

Project Category

Outreach

Proposal Earmark

New Outreach

Proposal Description

We are raising funds to ensure Ambassadors can continue delivering support through their monthly contributions.

After successfully 1) partnering with Ocean Mission in delivering quality Podcasts 2) integrating Coordinape for governance 3) introducing new streamlined processes and incentives such as Activity Farming, Impression mining, Leaderboard and after 4) 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.

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.

If the project includes community engagement, which channels will be used? For how long?

Twitter - always

Discord - always (as long as the Ocean Discord exists)

Youtube - trying to establish a stronger presence on YouTube

IRL events

Any prior work completed thus far?

Yes. Ocean Ambassadors have been contributing significantly to the visibility and technical developments of Ocean Protocol. There also have been various spin offs in the ecosystem out of the Ambassador program e.g. Ocean Academy, Ocean Pearl, deltaDAO, DataUnion. We’ve also recently completely revamped the program.

What are the team’s future plans and intentions? Is there maintenance? Possible extensions to the work?

Absolutely, this is a long term commitment with the intent to support the ecosystem through all phases of the path towards decentralization.

  • Outreach

Which one, or more, of the criteria will your project focus on? Why do you believe your team will do well on those criteria?

The Ocean Ambassadors have and will continue to represent the evolving structure of the greater Ocean ecosystem. We strive to further advance literacy and implementation of Ocean Protocol to those interested in the decentralized data sharing economy by recruiting, supporting and retaining talent to advance this objective.

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

  • High Ethical Standards
  • We are trying to build for the long term success of the Ocean Protocol ecosystem, and will not take shortcuts to get there.
  • Full Transparency
  • Every single token that we spend if accounted for and we share publicly all disbursements and deliveries. Anyone can hold us to account and see how we are managing the program
  • Culture of Inclusion
  • We operate on an optimistic governance system, as well as permissionless deliveries, we don’t gatekeep our Ambassadors from doing what they do best, and we trust them to deliver the quality expected from the DAO

Details of the proposal:

The goal of the Ocean Ambassador program is to raise awareness of Ocean Protocol in as many ways as possible - whether it is via social media channels, by launching real world events, networking in online and offline communities or involvement in other relevant communities. Another pillar of the project is to onboard new, highly motivated and brilliant people into the ecosystem - a lot of the projects in the OceanDAO have started with or are supported by Ocean Ambassadors and we are proud to have a positive influence in the community. This is an ongoing, long term commitment that we are financing via this proposal.
