Hello Lorena,

Thank you for applying to host this side event at Rio de Janeiro, I’m aware people love the fireside talks at such events, but I have a few questions on this:

  • Who is going from The Graph beside you?

  • Can you supply the names and positions of the other speakers from Chinlink and Arbitrum?

  • Will the cost be shared with the other organizations participating?

Hello!
In your proposal, you mentioned expecting around 40 people between developers and community members to attend the event. However, the venue, Bamba Labs, is equipped to accommodate up to 80 people. Could you clarify this?

#4

Thank for your question @PeterPan

1.- Emmi from AdvocatesDAO and Graphtronauts and Arturo Castanon, from AdvocatesDAO and Rollamate, both developers, will be at the side event with presentations.
In addition of that, we expect to attend EthSamba to talk with hackers and see projects.
2.- Solange Gueiros from Chainlink Labs will be in charge of the workshop. I can´t confirm the speaker from Arbitrum yet
3.- The cost of the event will be share with Arbitrum and Chainlink. Each of us will pay 33.33% of the total costs except swag.
Please take into account that the budget that I presented is not complete. We should add photographer and filmmaker.

I hereby agree to this grant agreement of the Graph AdvocatesDAO with the GitHub commit-hash 3858eb9315ef3a0a93d0701961ffbc2a57d45205. That document forms the legal agreement of the proposed grant with the following terms:

  • Scope

  • Organize an in-person side event titled “Builders do Rio” in collaboration with The Graph, Arbitrum, and Chainlink during EthSamba.

  • Deliverables

  • Conduct workshops and presentations on March 21, 2024, at Bamba Labs, R. Visc. de Pirajá, 580 - Ipanema, focused on developers and community members to enhance understanding of the web3 ecosystem.

  • Detailed agenda including specific sessions and speakers as outlined in the grant application.

  • Gather and report feedback from participants, capturing visuals such as photos and videos of the event.

  • Provide visuals such as photos and videos capturing the event, and utilize social media platforms to promote it.

  • Total Grant Amount

  • USD Value: 2,260.00 USD

  • Token: GRT

  • Disbursement Schedule

  • Full Funding: 100%

  • Since funding is already available from previous grants, no new funds are requested.

  • Receiving ETH Address: 0x73201635125A67aebF560A5431d84138eFd1B8Ff

I recognize that the agreement’s implementation is contingent on the successful outcome of a related onchain vote by the Graph AdvocatesDAO. It’s clear to me that the grant disbursement will occur on the Gnosis Chain and that the GRT (30-day average) rate will be taken into account at the time of submitting a proposal, whether it’s for the initial funding or the final payment. Furthermore, I am aware that, as a recipient of the grant, I must submit receipts for any expenses incurred and understand that cash payments are not permissible.
Note: The requested funding is lower than anticipated because we managed to keep our costs lower than expected in a previous grant disbursed by the DAO but not utilized
