is a great opportunity to get extra funding for your project through the matching pool, but your communityโ€™s donations determine how much of the pool you get, with more unique donors getting you a bigger share of the matching pool. That means you NEED to onboard people to donate to your project.

Tips to having a successful round

  • Consistently post and cross-collaborate

  • Spend time onboarding your community to donate and verifying their wallet

  • Be very clear on why funding you will be worth it and your progress up to date

๐Ÿ’Ž Making Your Project Page Legit

  • Ensure that your POTLOCK profile clearly explains what you are working to achieve and why people should donate. An optimized project includes:

    • A clear project description.

    • A nice profile image and banner

    • Regular posts on NEAR Social

    • Description of past funding sources

    • Links to team accounts

    • Relevant githubs (if open source)

    • Photos, videos, and/or valid external links to provide visual context.

When You Are Applying

  • A statement detailing how you will use the funds in your application

PROMOTE YOUR PROJECT

  • Share your POTLOCK project link wildly across ALL your social media channels

  • Consistently update your audience with milestones, timelines, and other relevant information like upcoming X spaces you will be participating, time remaining to donate, & more.

  • Provide resources on how x amount of donations will provide x amount of value in your cause

๐Ÿ‘‹ Get to Know Your Round

  • Cross-promoting with other projects in the round can help get your work in front of new audiences.

โ“Onboard

Off-chain

  • Contact your family, friends, and communities through DMs, group chats, and word of mouth. Explain that the more unique donors you have, the more of the funding pool you will get matched.
