Background What problems do you aim to solve? How does it serve the mission of a user owned internet?
Stacks Turkey is one of the fastest growing Stacks communities worldwide. In just a few months, we have grown from 1,300 members to 3,800 real members_. We are extremely passionate about Stacks and how it may be able to transform the financial system in Turkey. This grant application is an example of some of our longer term plans to grow the Stacks Turkey community sustainably. We want to first raise awareness about Stacks, and then educate the community about the technology that makes Stacks possible. Ultimately, our goal is to increase the number of Stackers and start a stacking pool that can sustain our community. With this work, we hope to officially be recognized as a Stacks chapter soon. In the meantime, there are undecided investors because they can't find enough resources in Turkish. They can't be sure about what is the Stacks and the vision of the project. We want to solve it by reaching them from big platforms / communities and big influencers. We know big influencers around us.
Project Overview What solution are you providing? Who will it serve?
If this grant is funded and we are recognized as a Stacks Chapter, we will continue to focus on build and promoting Stacks and Stacks Technology to Turkish investors. Because Turkey is the largest cryptocurrency investor in middle-east. That is the key point. We must bring Stacks to this investment potential. We’ll work with big Turkish influencers as well. Getting more investor, more Stacker, more miner is our first priority. We will introduce Stacks and the Stacks Technology to tens of thousands of Turkish investors. Because Turkey is the largest cryptocurrency investor in middle-east. There is great potential!
Scope What are the components or technical specs of the project? What will the final deliverable look like? How will you measure success? We are aiming to complete all these works in 1 month. We met with influencers early, so we are ready to start. We made our preparations, we are waiting to approving We will organize Live Video AMA in Kripto Solzuk and making advertisements, events with big influencers. In the same time, we’ll translate important articles and papers to Turkish. It will serve to all of the potential Turkish investors. I believe the project will be enough to solve that. We want to make Stacks Turkey biggest cryptocurrency community in Turkey.
