Dear Polkadot community,

Following Chainwire's initial campaign with 24 projects in the Polkadot ecosystem, we want to present our report and work with the OpenGov community directly in the most transparent way possible.

We have been successful in drastically boosting news announcements and branding campaigns for two dozen Polkadot protocols, resulting in publishing over 1,180 press release articles with an estimated total view of 22.7 Million impressions.

Our PR’s have been displayed on websites like CoinTelegraph, Coindesk, Decrypt, Investing.com, TheStreet, CryptoSlate, Bitcoin.com, TheDefiant, CryptoDaily, CryptoPotato, DailyHODL an over 100+ other magazines.

Here’s a link to the full report and article list:

Now, our goal is to streamline the work and invite all Polkadot-based projects to use our platform for generating strong PR, branding and widespread recognition for their news and overall projects, and put Polkadot in the center stage of news flow.

Chainwire Overview:

Chainwire is the leading blockchain PR distribution platform, with a robust network of over 150 crypto and financial media outlets like Coindesk, CoinTelegraph, Decrypt, Bitcoin.com, Investing.com, TheStreet, etc.
We offer guaranteed news coverage on the homepage of major crypto and financial websites to boost our clients branding, reputation and news publications.

We do this via our content API feed integration that we have directly with our publishing partners.

Experience with the Polkadot Ecosystem:
Chainwire has been deeply involved with the Polkadot ecosystem, working with reputable projects like Moonbeam, Hydration, Bifrost, SubWallet, Astar, Scytale Digital and many others.

Our platform has helped Polkadot projects achieve significant visibility and traction for their news announcements. For each PR campaign we’ve edited and polished the press release and broadcasted it via Chainwire to reach the top crypto, financial and mainstream websites.

In total, Chainwire has published 1,180 press release publications for 24 projects, with a total estimated views of 22.7 Million impressions and a total audience of 478 Million. Our publishing network spans across 150+ crypto, financial and tech magazines with homepage displayed features.

Funding Proposal:
Requested DOT: 75,000 DOT
Our initial budget from the marketing bounty has almost been depleted and projects that need to use Chainwire will soon need to wait or seek an alternative solution.
With many active Polkadot projects, we anticipate many projects will seek our support for multiple PR campaigns each.

We are coordinating with Distractive and MarketAcross who manage communications and marketing strategies for projects in the ecosystem.
Deliverables and Timeline breakdown:

Campaigns: We’re able to execute at least 50 “Premium” campaigns.

Reach: Each campaign will have 75 published articles and syndications with an average reach of 800,000 estimated views (calculated as guesstimate impressions, not confirmed reads) according to Coverage Book statistics. The total audience metrics should be around 300 Million (total monthly traffic of all the websites combined).

Timeline: The funding should suffice for 6 months minimum.
Our deep involvement with Polkadot and extensive network make us the ideal partner to drive Polkadot’s news distribution efforts. Our proven track record and guaranteed results will help Polkadot maintain its leadership position in the blockchain space.

Benefits to the Polkadot Network:

Our platform enables direct access and support for any project building on Polkadot to broadcast their PR or news announcement.

Brand Building: Using Chainwire will allow any Polkadot-based project to immediately broadcast their announcements to the best and biggest crypto and financial outlets. The solution is designed to maximize the exposure and drive traffic and recognition.

Traction & Viewability: Chainwire ensures press releases gain the attention they deserve by only working with websites that have a highly visible press release section that prominently feature the PR’s either above the fold or mid-site. This ensures that the press releases actually get traffic and attention as opposed to an obscure placement.

Audience Targeting: Chainwire is a part of a bigger newswire platform with tech, cybersecurity, financial and gaming websites. Polkadot project’s news will always reach the right audience. Even within the crypto industry we have partners for Defi news, NFT news, gamefi and other professional niche magazines on top of the bigger ones.

SEO: Our articles are indexed in Google search and Google News. The articles also include links and in some cases social shares. This guarantees that the news remains accessible and discoverable, driving long-term engagement and maintaining a strong online presence.

Scalable & Speed: No Onboarding needed, and unlimited capacity to execute campaigns same-day. Chainwire is fully equipped to support a multitude of Polkadot projects, offering unparalleled distribution services for their news.

Reliable: Chainwire has established a direct content API integration with most publishers to 100% guarantee a publication. This eliminates the uncertainty of “maybe”. Our clients receive the most comprehensive and effective coverage available in the blockchain space.
