PROJECT TEASER

Bankless Japan will be a media partner of WebX which will be held in Tokyo on July 25 and 26, 2023, and to request funding and other necessary support from the DAO to ensure its success.

This ask worth 200,000 BANK will help us deliver an already secured partnership worth 20,000 USD

SUMMARY

Project Description

WebX is Japan’s one of the largest Web3 conferences this year gathering a bunch of top-notch players all over the world. We are honorably a part of media partner with an independent booth for 2 days and get an opportunity to promote both BDAO and BDAO Japan. It’s the first time to have a booth and opportunities as big as this chance, so we want it to be the beachhead for the activities of BDAO in Japan, and the expansion of subscribers and BDAO citizens.

Past/preparatory activities

We’ve already sponsored as a media partner in major Japanese crypto events, like DAOATHON, ETH TOKYO/DAO TOKYO, IVS Crypto in this April. [insert youtube/social media links]

RETROSPECTIVE

This is a one time ask

SPECIFICATION

  • A booth will be set up to introduce and explain Bankless to members of the Japanese Web3 community who are not familiar with it and make them involved in the BANKLESS ecosystem via subscription to media
  • Organize the side event with several partners to do more of it independently in accordance with WebX Tokyo itself to expand Bankless Card
  • To get and introduce of Bankless Consulting for Japanese Corp or people who want to launch・grow of DAOs for expanding the DAO consulting market of BDAO

The best path forward for this is via Global Events. Join the meeting with @Jengajojo each Tuesday at 12:00 UTC

Their ask is more than the max budget for an event, so i recommend them to make a proposal. But we can afford it as global events if there are no objections from anyone to use the Global Events budget for this.
