Grant ID: 868528bv3
Summary:
This is a proposal for a grant to design a POAP collection that will be used to support the Graph Advocates Program and recognise its members. While they’re fun to collect, these badges may also have greater untapped potential for the Graph Advocates Program. We believe that the engagement and time spent in the Program can be measured by the number of POAPs in a user’s wallet.
We plan in this initial grant to design, and then handover to the Graph AdvocatesDAO, the following sets of POAPs:
POAP to have attended The Graph’s Community Talk
POAP to show the wave you got onboarded as Advocate (e.g. Wave 1, Wave 2, etc.)
POAP to serve as badges for approved contributions.
We are going to provide at least three designs for each POAP collection and present them to the DAO members when we are done with our work. In this case, DAO members can provide feedback in case they want us to perform some changes. Once we receive the green light, we will design all the variations for the POAP that will showcase the wave that an Advocate has been onboarded, or the specific community talk they attended, or a particular Learning Series.

Describe what your project does or is aiming to do in 50 characters or less:
creation of POAPs for specific purposes
If available, please enter a link to your project below:
How far along are you?:
I have started making some samples
Why did you pick this idea to work on? Do you have domain expertise in this area? How do you know people need what you’re making?:
I am a “part-time” graphic designer who knows a lot about POAPs and how they are done
What’s new about what you’re making? What substitutes do people resort to because it doesn’t exist yet (or they don’t know about it)?:
N/A
What’s your vision for how your project will impact The Graph and/or web3?:
Using POAPs will serve as a motivation and a form of “bragging rights” for advocates. Many advocates might prefer not to attend calls and just read meeting notes or briefs. The introduction of POAPs will serve as a “motivation” for participation in these calls.
How will you measure success?:
Significant increase of contributors on calls.
What milestones will you achieve in the coming weeks/months, with or without the grant?:
Creation of Base design(samples): One week
Edit and review: One week after approval
Please select who you think will benefit from your project?:

How much funding are you looking for? (USD):
1200
Provide a breakdown of your requested funding:
We report below the cost breakdown and the total cost assuming $20/hour as the hourly rate:
30 hours for the initial design for the POAPs, where will provide three designs for both of them
10 hours for eventual adjustments after the confirmation meeting with DAO members
20 hours for completion of the collections with all the taglines
to have attended The Graph’s Community Talk from #26 (August ‘23) for the next 12 months till #37 (July ‘24)
to get onboarded as an Advocate from wave #16 (August ‘23) for the next 12 months till wave #27 (July ‘24)
Have you applied for (or already received) funding from somewhere else?:
No
Why are you interested in contributing to The Graph and/or web3?:
As Graph Advocates, we always look to improve and educate people about the Graph and the web3 ecosystem as a whole. I am proud to be an advocate
Are you applying as a team or individual?:
