Dear Team,

Thank you for allocating the grant.
We finished the course and tried to put all the necessary details.
We started production but we need slightly more time, if it is okay of course.

Thank you

Apologies for the late reply!

Right now the DAO is not accepting applications to the Advocates program. The way it will be possible to become the Graph Advocate in the future will be shared with you after the announcement of the Advocates Program 2.0. so let’s stay connected!

Dear IqraCrypto Team,

After a thorough evaluation of the deliverables, we would like to share our feedback.

Grant Scope:
The primary objective of the grant was to provide the Arabic-speaking community with an in-depth understanding of The Graph protocol within the broader blockchain ecosystem. Our feedback on each deliverable is as follows:

Deliverables Review:

  1. YouTube Shorts in Arabic:
    The objective was to create seven YouTube shorts that highlighted key aspects of The Graph, including its role, operations, and impact on Web3. While we appreciate the effort, it would be helpful to provide further details regarding the scope and reach of these shorts, such as metrics on audience engagement or viewership, which have yet to be included.

  2. Educational Blogpost:
    While the blog post fulfils the content requirement, it appears to be largely a reproduction of information already available on The Graph’s website, with minimal added value or unique insights. Additionally, the Arabic translation contains errors, which could affect its credibility and accessibility for the intended audience.

  3. Course on The Graph and Advocates Program:
    The course content was reviewed, and while it provides a basic introduction, it lacks technical depth on The Graph protocol itself. For instance, there is no mention of key functionalities such as querying, which is essential to understanding the protocol. Moreover, the course leans heavily on financial topics (e.g., GRT token, investment rounds, tokenomics), which could mislead the audience about The Graph’s broader technical and community aspects. The course’s brief mention of the Advocates Program (about 45 seconds) is insufficient, and we also noted concerns about the course being labelled “Airdrop” which misaligns with The Graph’s values and community stance.

  4. Statistical Information:
    As per the grant requirements, you were expected to provide detailed metrics and statistics. However, no statistical data regarding reach, engagement, or other key performance indicators was provided for us to assess the impact of your content.

  5. Applications to the Advocates Program:
    We understand that this deliverable was contingent on circumstances beyond your control. Therefore, we do not consider this point in the assessment.

Conclusion:
Unfortunately, the work produced under this grant does not fully align with our expectations in terms of depth, accuracy, and impact. As a result, we regret to inform you that we are unable to proceed with final funding at this time.

We appreciate your efforts and your interest in contributing to the education of The Graph’s Arabic-speaking community. We encourage you to address the feedback and continue developing your work for future opportunities.

Best regards,

Grants Committee
AdvocatesDAO

Dear Julianna,

I am not sure if I should be happy or no regarding the answer.
Thank you for your detailed feedback on our deliverables for The Graph protocol education project. We acknowledge your concerns and are committed to addressing them.

  1. YouTube Shorts Metrics: We will provide detailed engagement and viewership metrics shortly to demonstrate the reach and impact effectively.

  2. Blogpost Quality: We revised the Arabic article again to ensure higher quality and uniqueness in the content presented, but it presented no issues for us. Could you tell what arabic country you are using as a basis ?

  3. Course Content Emphasis: The sections on tokenomics and financial aspects are concise, under seven minutes total, and are designed to provide a holistic view of The Graph protocol. We ensure that the course maintains a balanced focus on both technical and community aspects. The in-depth explanation on how it works is and tool exploring is way longer. I am not sure where this information is coming from.

  4. Course Labeling: The course was never labelled as Airdrop as this will harm our community and our reputation. We have no intentions in making such.

We have continuously sought guidance to align our efforts closely with The Graph’s expectations and are keen to make any additional adjustments needed. We have dedicated resources to this project and are eager to finalize it to your satisfaction. Would it be acceptable to submit our detailed report within the next week to facilitate the release of the remaining grant funds?
