SportStake Marketing Funding Proposal Discussion

SportStake

Dear Polkadot Community,

We will be submitting our first treasury proposal this month and would like to invite feedback from the community. SportStake is a mobile wallet app that allows sports fans to stake DOT and automatically support their favorite sports clubs by sharing a small portion of their staking rewards. This provides clubs with an additional source of funding that can be used to support initiatives such as youth development programs and other community-focused activities.

So far, we’ve partnered with NAC Breda and SV Kampong, two well-known Dutch sports organizations. These pilots have helped us grow our staking pool to over 50,000 DOT and demonstrated that there is strong interest from both fans and clubs. Our proposal requests funding to expand these partnerships across Europe, improve the app, and increase awareness to attract more participants.

We appreciate your time and look forward to hearing your thoughts or suggestions. Feel free to comment here or reach out via [email protected].

Thank you, The SportStake Team

Interesting proposal.

First of all, this proposal should go to the Marketing Bounty.

Feedback & questions from a marketing perspective:

  1. I think the sports angle is good. Recently, a couple of clubs have come forward with loyalty programs based on crypto and even attended a conference within a stadium.
  2. Timing-wise, a good opportunity, with more attention, is coming to the Mythicals Soccer/football/FIFA game soon. Here, you could try to reach out and partner with Mythical. 
  3. Spain should probably be your top priority because it's somewhat the Euro-champ in crypto adoption.
  4. What leagues are you targeting?
  5. Do you have examples for your messaging to this audience?
  6. Regarding the 130k for the European Marketing Campaign, I'd like to know what kind of activities you have planned here.
  7. Club Partnership Expansion would mostly cover HR expenses for BD?

Feedback & questions from a wallets perspective:

  1. Why did you choose your own wallet? Would a dashboard have been easier and cheaper to build? I assume it's because you also want the freedom to onboard other stackable assets.
  2. To get funding, you should get your app audited for security flaws.
  3. I downloaded and tried your wallet. It looks good but still feels like a wallet from 2020 when it comes to seed storage. I think there are other good examples out there that also offer guardian recovery. Also, the onboarding experience for a non-crypto audience has to provide some education. I do like the available teams and the social aspect of seeing that there are already 32 supporters for NAC.

General

  1. You probably should wrap your proposal into smaller, markets-related milestones to show that your team delivers on the promise.
