Treasury Proposal

This Proposal to Polkadot Treasury aims to boost the brand recognition of Polkadot to a broader group of audience in APAC.

Proposer: (Winkrypto)
DOT Address: 158fp6BNaiUF6G13EFeeditNz2YVQeMtY68M6D4pEqqCgrdC
Date: June 28th, 2021
Requested DOT: 1452.93 DOTs (Rate: 20.648 USD/DOT as of the 28th June, which is equivalent of 30,000USD)
Short description: The media and marketing plan to bring the brand awareness and community influence on a broader group of general blockchain audience.

Brief Introduction

Winkrypto proposes to provide a customized media and marketing service package to boost the brand recognition and community influence of Polkadot to a broader group of blockchain audiences in APAC through Winkrypto and ChainNews.
Polkadot has gained good traction in the Polkadot audience but certainly, it has broad room to expand the media exposure and community awareness to the fast-growing broader general blockchain audience. Winkrpto and ChainNews (see the explanation of business relationship in the below section) are here to help to bring the general awareness of Polkadot in the Chinse-speaking community to another level.

Background

Winkrpto, together with ChainNews being the top blockchain media, can provide the top blockchain media and blockchain technology advocating service in APAC market, both to English and Chinese audience.

Why us?

ChainNews is the top tier professional blockchain media in Chinese speaking community. We have the top influence and resource to generate the best content with business insights and unique view and delivery the contents to the desired blockchain audience maximumly. Outperforming other blockchain marketing service providers, ChainNews aims to be the best service provider in this market sector.

What problem is the Treasury fund used to solve?

Polkadot gains pretty good traction in APAC marketing for the Polkdot audience in the time frame of late 2019 and the year of 2020. However the size of the general blockchain audience grows fast and there is still broad room for Polkadot to expand to gain the bigger size of the pie. WinKrypto as a top blockchain marketing service provider, together with ChainNews, the top professional blockchain media, is able to help Polkadot to achieve this goal and gain more audience in general blockchain pie. Winkrypto has the confidence to converte our business insight and deep understanding of the Asian market of the blockchain into the practical help and effective deliverables to Polkadot.

Winkrypto would design a customized yet comprehensive package to help Polkadot to gain wider exposure in media and community. We plans to generate the top quality content with the blockchain insider’s view and deliver these content through our media matrix for the maximum coverage of the blockchain audience in the APAC market. We will also provide the deliverable and the performance report (ok to work with your local team to design the performance tracking mechanism) periodically.

Hi @winkrypto1! Thank you for publishing this proposal, i have a few questions, to confirm by the team:

  1. What does "advocating service in Times New Roman" mean?
  2. Besides ChainNews, are the outlets you will use for distribution the ones listed on the proposal? And do you have already an agreement with this outlets in place?
  3. Do you have some examples of previous work you can show the Council in order to assess the work done?
  4. Could you provide more information regarding the costs for the activities listed on the 2021 Plan? Specifically, it would be great to understand how the allocation will be distributed to pay for the costs of each effort, including the human resources used on this work (PR adviser, Media Adviser, and Operation Specialist) and which tasks they will be performing.
  5. Can I confirm the requested allocation will cover 2021 efforts?
  6. Could you replace the amount of tokens requested for fiat for now, to have an understanding of the total costs and budget?

Please also take into account you might need to adjust the DOT rate based on 30 day avg Subscan tool on the day of submission.

Hello, I am Siyang Lyu from Winkrypto, I will answer the questions for the proposal of Winkrypto.

  1. What does "advocating service in Times New Roman" mean?

It is a mistyping, the correct sentence is, Winkrpto, together with ChainNews being the top blockchain media, can provide the top blockchain media and blockchain technology advocating service in the APAC market, both to English and Chinese audience.

  1. Besides ChainNews, are the outlets you will use for distribution the ones listed on the proposal? And do you have already an agreement with this outlets in place?

Besides our Chiannews, we will distribute the article to 8-10 media platforms, and we have set up Chainnews column on these platforms. After the article published on the chiannews, our colleague will distribute the article on these platforms. Here's the example of our clients synthetix's PR article distribution result:

  1. Do you have some examples of previous work you can show the Council in order to assess the work done?

After we finishing the service, we will give our clients' service report. Please check the example report to know our previous work. Here's the link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/15DhDo2O3IwYBYqxzVcftkUCNxo2Es4br/view?usp=sharing

  1. Could you provide more information regarding the costs for the activities listed on the 2021 Plan? Specifically, it would be great to understand how the allocation will be distributed to pay for the costs of each effort, including the human resources used on this work (PR adviser, Media Adviser, and Operation Specialist) and which tasks they will be performing.

I have modified the proposal and add the detailed budget and a short description of the timeline in the 4.1 (4 part and 4.2.

  1. Can I confirm the requested allocation will cover 2021 efforts?

I can confirm the cooperation will cover the whole year of 2021 and we can also stress the cooperation period in our service contract.

6.Could you replace the amount of tokens requested for fiat for now, to have an understanding of the total costs and budget?

In our proposal, the total cost is 30,000 USDT, and I have checked the DOT EMA30 price in the subscan today is 32.614USDT per DOT, so it is 911.85 DOTs for the total cost today. I will update the total cost in DOT when I submit the proposal on chain.
