Project Description

[ There are few things in the world that enjoy the love and attention given to sports and sporting activities in general.

90 percent of the world’s population enjoys at least one form of sports either through active participation or through viewing.

Statistics show that in the united states alone 57.5 million people watched at least 1 digital sports content once a month and this figure is projected to hit 90 million by 2025, this does not account for other countries globally and the lesser-known sports events and activities.

Sports events like

Football

Basketball

Chess

Racing

Badminton

Volleyball

Tennis

Running and many others

Offers us a unique opportunity to amplify the OCEAN PROTOCOL message through research and contacts, we will identify smaller events in different locations globally to work with.

The channels we will explore will include but are not limited to

Sports events

Sports players

Sports teams

Sports Bulletins

Sports Newsletters

Sports Podcasts

Sports Magazines and publications

Sports Youtube channels

Sports Radio shows

E-sports and games

Athletes

Anything sports

Final Product

We strongly believe that this effort will eventually lead to partnerships and some of the projects using/deploying on the OCEAN PROTOCOL blockchain

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.

Hello, thank you for your proposal.

First, regarding:

We strongly believe that this effort will eventually lead to partnerships and some of the projects using/deploying on the OCEAN PROTOCOL blockchain

There is no Ocean blockchain. Could you clarify what you mean please?

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

Thank you!

Hi there,

on a different note:
You also managed to select the very same name than the mother protocol, Ocean Protocol, of this DAO. This is can be misleading / irritating to some in the community.

In you project management tool, https://seed.oceandao.org/, please change your project’s name to something like “Ocean Sports Program” or “Ocean Sports Outreach” (something different from Ocean or Ocean Protocol).

Alternatively, if you have trouble doing this, reach out to me on discord to “@Wally I Ocean” on Monday (or via e-mail to malte @oceanprotocol.com) with a new name idea, so we can change this together.

Have a good weekend!
Wally
