The most viewed video has some 800k and the channel has been around for a long time in crypto-terms going back 6 years. Which is almost geriatric in crypto YouTube.
This will fund the following for a year from the day of passing:
<div class="column">
<ol>
<li>Continuous unbiased but friendly reporting on news items from Polkadot and reasonable adjacent parachain news. </li>
<li>The reporting will be about major news and features. </li>
<li>Interactions with Twitter threads about these topics </li>
<li>Open invitation to have Gavin Wood on as a guest in an interview format (We&rsquo;d love to have you Gav) </li>
<li>Deep dive video on polkadot &ndash; showing major use cases and things to do in the ecosystem, dependent on input from the community. </li>
<li>Curator fees for 4 Polkadot community curators 1,5 h per week each 312 hours total. 4000 Polkadot will be set aside for this. These will be picked by Strindbergman.</li>
<li>Polkadot logo as one of the logos animating in the corner of each video on Ivan On Tech</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
How we plan to work:
<div class="column">
<ol>
<li>Curator group will work with the polkadot community as well as Parity and w3f to collect good news items and ecosystem events and usecases. This group will be led by Strindbergman, old friend on Ivan on tech, ex parity technologies employee, builder and engaged member of the polkadot community. </li>
<li>Internal Ivan on tech X Curator group will be created where material is shared once it has been curated. </li>
<li>Curated content and quality checks will be done by the curators to make sure the right and best things are brought forward, this to make sure the best items to forward the polkadot ecosystem gets the chance to be reported on. </li>
<li>Once the decentralized futures media initiatives settles, they will also provide help here. What for this takes is still undecided but Ivan on tech will look for them to collaborate with the group put together by Strindbergman. </li>
<li>Strindbergman act as a go to contact for the community as well as for Parity or W3F in terms of communicating with Ivan on tech. He can be reached through ChaosDao or on Curated materials will be sent over to Ivan every 2 weeks by the curators, </li>
<li>News items that are interesting and of value for the larger blockchain community will be reported and elaborated on. They can also be followed up in other streams and on twitter. No shills but honest opinions. </li>
</ol>

Problem Statement:

Significance:
- The significance of this problem is that it hinders the dissemination of important information and updates about Polkadot and its ecosystem to the blockchain community.

Proposed Solution:
- The proposed solution is to fund continuous unbiased reporting on Polkadot news, interactions with Twitter threads, an interview with Gavin Wood, a deep dive video on Polkadot, and curator fees for 4 Polkadot community curators.

Expected Outcomes:
- The expected outcomes are improved awareness and understanding of Polkadot and its ecosystem, increased engagement with the community, and the promotion of valuable news items to the larger blockchain community.
