Proposal Overview

We have consistently worked towards providing unbiased and in-depth news content for the SORA community, creating an informative and engaging space for all community members. To continue our endeavors and amplify our impact, we are actively seeking community support to fund SORA News. Note: The Polkadot influencer marketing was advised to hold on by the SORA marketing team members until the full release of XST assets on Polkaswap. We want to collaborate more with the Polkadot influencer to promote the SORA Card and CBDC after it's released.
