3 months ago I will add this here for transparency reasons, even though @blahkheart and I already talked on DMs:
David-Moderator and I suggested the following changes to the proposal:
- $2000 in ARB
- 600 UDT streamed over the period of 3 months
One reason is budgeting right now. The other is that while we know Danny will sing the 'gospel of Unlock, ' we feel the initiative is not exclusively about that (which is fine), but therefore it is not entirely clear how much of an ROI this initiative truly holds for Unlock.
Description
Unlock East Africa focuses on increasing Unlock Protocol adoption across East Africa, starting with Rwanda. Africa is buzzing with new Web3 communities and numerous emerging projects and is a prime target for Unlock's innovative ticketing, memberships, and subscription offerings. This initiative aims to educate developers, creators, and entrepreneurs first about Ethereum and takes a step further to illustrate Unlock Protocol as a prime example of an application built on Ethereum and demonstrate some of its use cases such as ticketing, memberships, rewards, and loyalty programs in a practical manner. This approach will not only educate but also familiarize participants with Unlock's distinctive features as they go through different experiences in real time. The project involves 7 workshops designed to cater to both technical and non-technical audience, with sustained weekly events over the span of 3 months to facilitate a sense of community. We round off with a hackathon to usher new developers into the ecosystem and provide an opportunity for builders to create innovative solutions to local challenges using the power of Ethereum and Unlock Protocol. Through this grant, we aim to instigate Unlock's adoption at ground level in East Africa, building toward a powerful ripple effect across the entire continent's blooming Web3 communities.

Requested grant amount
Other amount, or not requesting UDT
Anything else you think we should know, including why you've requested a particular grant amount
Total execution cost of the initiative is ~$10,000, I have secured a grant of $5000 from the Ethereum Foundation to cover the execution costs. Support from the Unlock Protocol DAO would ensure the successful initiation and execution of the project. Furthermore, 20% (200 UDT) of the total requested UDT amount (1000 UDT) will be airdropped to the community through various community activations to further decentralize Unlock DAO governance and increase participation in governance processes.
Requested grant amount: $3000 in ARB - Upfront (covers travel, and accommodation costs.) 1000 UDT
Milestone: Month 1 deliverables - 300 UDT. Milestone: Month 2 deliverables - 300 UDT. Milestone: Month 3 deliverables - 400 UDT
Total UDT Amount: 1000 UDT
