Final Product

We strongly believe that this effort will eventually lead to partnerships, create awareness around OCEAN protocol thereby enabling OCEAN missions, allowing dataset to be published on ocean.

OUR MANDATE

Growth: through well-structured activities, onboard users into the ecosystem

Engagement: amplify the OCEAN PROTOCOL message using influencers focused on sports

Adoption- onboard people from web2 into web 3

Value Add Criteria

Usage of Ocean:


After this phase has concluded, we would have added new members and active Ocean Ambassadors who are ecosystem participants. This can subsequently lead to an increase in # of Active Users.

We are poised to achieve this because of our advantage of operating in arguably tapping into sports lovers and crypto adoption generally in the state.


Community active-ness:

Since we are a community comprised mostly of technical people, we are actively using Ocean SDKs and gaining experience and orientation. This will lead to new projects and contributions to projects like Ocean Missions, Algovera, etc.


Adding value to the overall community:

As we continue driving our message and mission; more talent and on-lookers will notice. This will be a self-fulfilling prophecy as it would keep feeding into the chances of success of the first criterion, which is the Usage of Ocean. When we do our job right, the loop restarts.

Hey, I think your “OCEAN” project name is a bit misleading. In my opinion “OCEAN” as an alone standing term should be reserved for Ocean Protocol. Maybe rename it to “OCEAN | SPORT DAO AWARENESS”.

I can see that this proposal is largely the same as the one submitted in Round 17, and there was a question submitted by Trent McConaghy that still has not been addressed.

“Could you describe how specifically your project aligns with the mission & values of Ocean, and how it might serve a data sharing ecosystem.”

Can you please respond with an answer to this, as it’s not clear how exactly this proposal serves the data sharing ecosystem?

#5

After further discussion with the Ocean Project Guiding Working Group, since you have not answered this question in R17 and the proposal is almost unchanged in R18, until this question from Trent is answered satisfactorily, I cannot as a guide give this proposal my support, and the Project Guiding Working Group will refrain from providing support for this proposal and any future proposal from this team.

I recommend that you comment with a reply as soon as possible.

#6

Hello @abrom8, thanks for the feedback, I also tried to edit and update the name after creating the proposal but I was unable to. The name field is disabled whenever I tried to. I am sorry.

#7

Hello @zippy1979, I am sorry for replying late, I did not check the port too often as we focus more on the notion page, I am joining the Ocean Protocol Discord channel shortly.

We are crypto lovers and also love sport, as well as have a vested interest in seeing the OCEAN PROTOCOL project alive and skyrocketing :rocket:, there are over 3.5 Billion football fans, 2.5 Billion Cricket lovers among others, we sport lovers do not just love watching the sports, we also follow sports news, and join different sport online and offline channels (Twitter, Reddit, etc) to discuss our interest, this proposal plans to leverage on this sports channels and meetups to intentional promote OCEAN protocol and create awareness around the project which overall makes OCEAN protocol more visible, this we believe is in line with OCEAN mission.

#8

Hi Damon,

Thank you for engaging with us here :heart:

It is still unclear to me how promoting Ocean Protocol to Sports fans serves a Data Sharing Ecosystem? Could you please be more specific in how this outreach proposal provides value to Ocean in that context?
