I can hear you perfectly well.
So, do I understand that, right, you have like an SBT, right, so you voted in the last
election and you were part of the voting body therefore, correct?
I said, do you have an SBT?
Remember the last election we had?
Just a couple of weeks ago.
Did you get to vote there?
I still have my SBT token with me.
Do you know sort of the process that in the upcoming future, in a couple, in a week or
so, we basically going to have another voting.
So, we're going to have another voting for the budget this time.
And what you want to do is, you know, educate everyone and make sure people who have SBTs,
they know how the process works.
So, they can actually go there, read what the proposal is about and give their hopefully
Do you have like any questions about how it's going to work?
Anything you're not sure about or confused?
Yeah, I have a couple of questions here that I want to ask.
I don't know, like, I don't know if I'm audible enough.
Can you hear me very well?
I can hear you very well.
I just want you to tell the community, you know, people just vote without knowing the
Can you tell us the rules attached in voting and the penalty that they are going to face
if they violate the rules?
So, I don't think there's any penalties in place for voting body because, you know, it's
like, it's not a, like, you're not like an official.
It's more like when you work for, when you go to vote for a government in your country,
you don't really face penalties, right?
You just go and cast your vote.
There's, like, no high level of responsibility for people who are part of voting bodies since
they don't, like, they're not part of Congress or people who, like, have some job responsibilities.
They're just near community who has, like, power to sort of voice their opinions and based
on their opinions, based on the vote that they do, there's going to be, well, the budget
either going to pass or not pass.
So, there's a thing, it's called near consent.
And that's what needs to be rich for the budget to pass.
And the near consent means that, first of all, 7% of the voting body has participated.
So, 7% is not a lot, but it's also kind of a lot considering we have, I think, around 3,000
people or 4,000 people verified on I'm human.
I actually don't remember, might have to look it up.
Let me see if it says here right up.
Okay, but I think it was, like, 3 or 4,000 people.
And so, 7% of that is, like, around 300 people who need to vote, which is, again, right,
not a lot, but this election, like, this is, for the election that we had before, we had,
I think, around, like, 1,000 people voted.
But that election has been, like, marketed for a long time.
Everybody knew about it, because also everyone was running.
So, everyone was doing, like, their own little promotional campaign.
This all, like, adds up to a pretty big movement.
But for this election, right, it's just going to be to approve or decline the budget.
And 7%, you know, that's, like, kind of the problem that we're trying to make sure that enough people know about it.
So, enough people show up and enough people vote.
And out of those 7%, at least 50, so, like, a simple majority, basically, 50% of people need to vote yes for the proposal to pass.
So, then, if, basically, right, these are, like, the two simple parameters.
One is 7% of the voting body.
So, around, at least, like, 300 people participating in the election.
And then, at least half of them voting yes.
So, basically, these are the rules.
I'm actually looking at the governance document right now, so I make sure I don't give any wrong information.
But that's sort of the main idea.
And the requirements for people to participate is basically all non-blacklisted humans on NIR can participate.
The only problem, actually, is that since they closed, like, I'm human verification before the last election, which is the other requirement, right?
You need to be not be on the blacklist and have SBT, which kind of, like, verifies you to be a real human on NIR.
And everyone was able to get an SBT as long as they would, like, verify the personhood before the last election.
And they closed, like, the system, like, a week or so before election, right?
So people don't register at the last moment.
But for this upcoming vote, I think only, basically, people who already have their SBT from back then can participate as long as they're not on blacklist.
And, yeah, that's pretty much all the rules that are around here.
I don't think there is anything much more complicated than that.
Definitely needs to be still some clarifications around, like, specific, you know, software or page that is going to be used.
I think it's going to be the Astra++, so, like, the main sort of DAO infrastructure.
But that's another thing to get people familiar with that.
So, yeah, a lot of interesting stuff.
Did it make it a little bit clear?
Yeah, it's actually well-detailed.
But does it mean that a new member that just got an awareness about NDC or NIE, like, does it mean that that person, too, can participate in voting governance?
Just want to know about that.
Like a new person just who learned about New York City, for example?
So, first of all, guys, I also, I brought up, like, a lot of speakers, since today we have community space.
For now, everyone is on mute.
If you have something to say or ask, just lift your hand up, and we'll go to you.
We'll try to have it, like, not a structured, just a community conversation.
But, yeah, regarding new people, so that's kind of where I see a little problem.
I guess, you know, most people who are part of NDC right now don't even, like, have time to worry about this at the current moment.
Basically, before the last election, they built a system, as I said, right?
I'm human, SBT, so you get verified.
And people who got verified back then can vote in the, like, upcoming proposal.
So they can vote for this budget package, so this upcoming vote.
But, yeah, the problem is that system was turned off just because, right, the election was coming.
So no last minute people before the election.
But then, at some point, it needs to be turned back on, right, for, like, community members to be able to verify themselves again and to participate in governance again and to join all these processes.
But I guess there was, like, not enough reason for anyone to take care of it, like, ASAP.
And it's more like sometimes people are pushing off, like, to the next election.
But in my opinion, it needs to be brought back up right now and then, like, you can turn off again maybe a week before, like, the next election.
So, because it does make sense, like, that logic.
You don't want, like, 100 bot account register last five minutes.
But currently, there is basically no way for a near community who has not been active back then to verify and get in.
Although maybe it does make sense to have a system where, for example, before the election, everybody gets to verify, then it's turned off.
And for the next six months, the only people who can vote on these proposals, right, are the people who already verified because, you know, they were, like, the community at that time.
And then for the next election, sort of, the gates open up again, the community can verify again, new people get to add.
And for the next, you know, six months and obviously, like, beyond, they're able to vote on the packages.
So, this is how it sort of works now, but probably not as much because of somebody thought of it like this, but more because, like, the system was just being worked through for the election and then election happened.
And now people have, like, other priorities, but definitely something to be thought through about how we can onboard people who have not been active in the ecosystem back then, but are active now, are part of a near community today, so that we can, yeah, keep growing.
Because, of course, we don't want to just, like, stop it where it was and never let anyone inside the community again.
Did I make it more clear?
Yes, yes, this, thank you so much.
Okay, let's, I see we have a lot of people with their hands up who want to participate.
So, let's give a mic to someone else from our community.
Let's give a mic to Sonic.
Sonic, I see you have your hand up.
Feel free to unmute yourself and say whatever you want to say.
Yes, yes, I can hear you very well. Hello.
Okay, thank you for bringing up.
I have been seeing you for long.
I will follow you to learn more about your project.
Abe, can you tell us most of the way for people to learn more about your project?
So, I think there needs to be, like, a couple of clarifications made here.
First of all, like, NDC is not my project.
Near is not my project, right?
My project is Chill and Chill, which is basically these spaces.
So, these spaces is my project, right?
This community is my project.
Educating people about Near is my project.
And actually, you know, I'm sure there is a couple of new people in this space as there are every day.
So, let me give a little brief overview of what the fuck NDC is if that's your first time hearing about it.
So, basically, Near, Near Protocol, right?
And on Near Protocol, they've decided to create sort of, like, a big governance experiment where, basically, prominent members from community who people know, who people trust, they were able to put themselves up for an election.
And then all the community voted.
So, there was, like, a big voting process, a lot of political stuff, you know, a lot of fun.
But it was, like, a real election.
And this is the first time I've actually seen anything like this happen in blockchain because, usually, whenever blockchains talk about governance, it's, like, based on a number of tokens you hold, which basically just means, like, the founder voted, the team voted, the VC voted, and they decide.
So, like, same people who would decide without governance decide with governance for the same people who hold most of tokens.
But this was, like, a completely different thing.
So, basically, all the community members and, you know, to define community here was pretty much anyone who knew about this going on.
That was, like, the barrier for you to be community.
So, if you're there, you're already community.
If you're not community, you wouldn't be knowing about this going on, basically.
So, anyone could verify themselves to become a registered voter, sort of, to be able to cast their vote for someone in the election.
And then there would be three houses.
So, there was House of Merit, Council of Advisors, and Transparency Commission, where, like, one house basically takes care of, like, creating proposals for funding.
Another house is more, like, set in a strategic direction, and it has, like, veto power.
So, there's, like, certain system of checks and balances between these different, like, government bodies.
And then the Transparency Commission, the last house is more like a sort of police enforcing body.
If anyone is, like, not doing their work right or being, like, a bad actor, playing against the ecosystem, that's where Transparency Commission comes in.
So, yeah, and after that, the election has happened, and NDC sort of got, like, the funding, which is being worked through right now, right, for NDC to actually start, for this whole, like, for all these people who were elected to actually start working and, like, growing the ecosystem and distributing the funds to different projects to support them.
There needs, like, there's, like, a certain new process of different levels of approval that the funding needs to go through, where the first one was basically for House of Merit to create the budget, and to, you know, it's 15 people with a very different opinion.
It's, like, it's actually really fun to sort of be part of it, because so much, like, drama is going on.
Everybody has, like, their own thing in their head, their own visions.
Everybody thinks, like, the other side is bad.
And, like, fighting with each other.
But, you know, especially it's 15 people, so it's a lot of people to coordinate together and make sure they work together.
But somehow it's working out.
So House of Merit created the budget and voted on it.
So the next step was for the Council of Advisors to either veto it or not veto it.
And then the next step is for community, the voting body, what we've been kind of talking today on the space for the voting body.
Like, basically, like, the budget will be put on, it was put on a vote for House of Merit, put on a vote for Council Advisor, now it's going to be put on a vote for community.
And everybody will be able to look through it.
So it's all, like, transparent, public to look through it and, like, give their opinion and either vote yes or no.
And then if the requirements are met, which was, like, 7% show up and then 50% needs to vote yes to pass, like, simple majority, basically.
If that happens, then the NDC will actually start working, like, all this sort of system with all the elected people will actually, like, get funding and will start sort of doing what they were elected to be doing.
Because at this moment, everyone, like, can't really work because the budget is not approved.
So, yeah, that's pretty much what is going on.
And it's really interesting to see because, again, it's such an experiment on blockchain.
And considering the way the government system is designed, the budget are designed, it's really almost like the same system how real governments operate, right?
So there's, like, different branches, there is checks and balances, obviously, like, really simplified here.
But there is, like, the main process are, like, election, right?
So real governments of countries, they also have, like, different positions elected.
Then they have budgets that they also create.
And based on that budget, they spend people tax money, right?
Or, like, whatever they got the government, like, however they fill up the government treasury, right?
So they spend the government treasury.
But currently, right, if you look around the world, it's pretty fucked up everywhere.
Like, the elections are, I don't know, like, how much you can trust elections, but, like, different country is different.
Some of the countries, like, take it really seriously.
Some of the countries, like, just, like, pure corruption, speculation.
But mostly it's, like, a degree.
So it's, like, a different scale across the world.
But mostly everywhere it's, like, at least a little bit too very fucked up.
And the other part is, like, the budgets, right, that they spend.
And even if they are public somewhere, it's usually done in a way that, like, I mean, when have you ever heard, like, a government to say, okay, we have approved a budget for, like, a year 2024 for our country.
And now, like, we want all our citizens to look through it and vote yes or no and approve it and for them to be blasted on all media news and actually try to engage people for this.
So, I mean, of course, this is, like, on a more idealistic level.
But simply speaking, like, the main idea, like, the way governance is approached in here is sort of like this.
So the budget is created, but it's all transparent, right?
It's put out there for the community.
And it's not being, like, created somewhere, put transparent because there is a lot to be, but then at the same time trying to be hidden so nobody really says anything and nobody looks.
But it's actually, you know, being put out there and, like, the community is encouraged to go, to look, to give feedback.
And then there is actually voting.
So, you know, the ultimate sort of, like, power is in the hands of the community, whether they approve of this direction or whether they disapprove of this direction.
So, overall, that's what's going on.
But, yeah, that's not my project.
I'm just participating in this whole thing as a NIR community member because, you know, I like NIR and I'm involved in NIR doing the spaces.
Like, I have Chill and Chill community.
So, this is why, like, I'm interested in all this.
But that's not, like, my own project.
My own project is these spaces.
We do, if it's your first time here, guys, Chill and Chill.
So, we've done over probably 100, definitely over 100.
That's, like, actually an old number.
I'm thinking, did we do 150 yet?
Probably not, but around, like, 130, 140 spaces already, all exclusively on NIR.
We've had a lot of different projects, obviously, over the span of this time, grew a big community.
And the main idea behind this, like, my project, Chill and Chill and, like, WAX, is basically on one side, for community, it's learn and earn, right?
So, sort of, the idea of aligning incentives properly, what I like blockchain about, right?
This is usually something that people consider heavily, how incentives are aligned and what behavior is, sorry for repeating myself, but what behavior is incentivized from the people.
And, you know, in Chill and Chill, what we're trying to do is to educate people about NIR, so you get to learn about NIR, and at the same time, you get to participate in giveaways, which, realistically, is just, like, a way to implement the earn part, you know?
So, people who come here a lot do get, like, rewarded a little bit.
We don't have, like, a real blockchain platform, where, like, I don't have one yet, maybe soon, where we can actually, like, do it automatically, you know, where you get maybe, like, a super tiny amount of NIR every time you attend the space.
So, it's more, like, learn and earn format that people are used to with, like, blockchain platforms.
But, right now, it's just, like, manually, it's just a Twitter space.
So, basically, like, learn and earn is implemented through giveaways.
And the other side of it is, obviously, you know, for NIR projects, for NIR ecosystems to connect with each other, to connect with community, for them to introduce a project, practice their pitches, you know, meet each other, and sort of just, like, this arena for all the ecosystem to come together, discuss any issues, discuss any news, share anything that needs to be shared.
And, yeah, this is basically my project, and you're part of it right now.
So, welcome to Chill and Chill Space.
And, yeah, I see a lot of hands up.
Sorry, guys, I've been talking for a while.
But, let's get to some other questions.
Or, again, today, like, usually, the format we have, right, is we have a guest.
And so, there's a guest project.
So, obviously, we give them most of the time to talk about their project.
And we only usually have 10, 15 minutes for community questions in the end.
But today is a community space.
It's just me and you guys.
And so, like, feel free to, you don't have to just limit yourself to, like, asking a question.
It's also your podium as much as it's mine.
So, if you just want to, like, talk about something, you have some thoughts, you know, open format today.
Open format for the community.
So, with that being said, we do have to maintain some order because there are so many people.
So, let's go right now to another person who has his hands up.
So, Christian, feel free to unmute yourself.
Will you plan to raise the awareness of your project in a region or that English is not well spoken?
Any local communities to bring them better understanding of your ecosystem?
I don't think I can hear you well.
I couldn't really understand your question.
Can I repeat this question?
Will you plan to raise the awareness of your project in a region that English is not well spoken?
Any local communities to bring them better understanding of your ecosystem?
Well, actually, you know, right now, the way we have our community, we don't really have that issue.
Everybody mostly speaks English.
I think we mostly have people from Nigeria, people from India, some people from America sometimes.
But, so it is like an international community, but God, everybody speaks a little bit of English.
It's also not my first language, but, you know, I'm sure it's like not first language for a lot of other people, but currently English works out fine.
I was thinking about, you know, maybe creating like a series of spaces, you know, like you can have chill and chill English, chill and chill Spanish or something like this.
But I think at the moment, there's no need for it.
Like the new ecosystem just doesn't have enough, it doesn't have enough people for that, you know.
So, this space is enough and just by being English, it's already covering like a lot of international communities.
So, it's not really linked to just like some specific region.
Let's go to somewhere else with your hands up.
I definitely want to try to give as many people a chance today to speak since I know a lot of you guys come to like our project spaces and sit through the whole space.
I'm just hoping to ask a question in the end and then in the end only like two people get to ask a question, which is really unfortunate.
But, you know, we do also have time constraints.
But today, hopefully, we'll be able to allow more people to speak.
So, if you've been coming to the space for a while and been trying to speak and it hasn't been working out, today is your lucky day, I guess.
So, let's move to the next person.
Okay, so, thank you for bringing up.
Doing great, how are you?
So, my question, I want to ask a question about this upcoming election.
So, last time I was participating for the election.
So, I did physical face-off verification and I'm in human verification.
So, basically, I lost my phone and I lost my wallet address.
So, my question is that, can I create another near wallet address to do the same procedure for that verification?
To do the, like, I'm in human verification, face-off verification to participate for this election?
I hope you understand my question.
I definitely understand your question.
I mean, first of all, thank you for participating in the last election.
It's, you know, great to see that there is active community.
There's people who actually participate in all those things and stay through.
And secondly, when you say you lost your phone, do you not have your seat face saved anywhere?
So, like, nothing that would let you restore that wallet?
Yeah, I've tried to restore it, but honestly, I lost it.
So, that's why I say, let me ask the question.
If can I create another near wallet address to do the same procedure for that?
So, that's kind of what I've been talking about in the beginning, right?
When there was, like, this verification process that would make you a verified voter,
it was closed, like, a week before last election.
And it has not been reopened since, which I think, like, it should have been reopened by now
for new people to join as well, especially since that election passed.
But it hasn't been reopened since.
So, at the current moment, like today, there's basically no way to get a new wallet verified
unless you already had it verified in the last, like, before the last election.
But usually, that's kind of, like, the reason, you know, when you have your seat phrase, for example,
you sign in, or a near wallet.
I think you can also use email to sign in.
The idea is that even if you lose your phone, you still should be able to access it
because either you would have your seat phrase written somewhere that's not inside your phone,
like, in some other place or better in multiple places.
But obviously, it's hard if you have, like, a lot of different wallets.
But otherwise, if it's, like, an email, then you should be able to try to restore it through email.
But if you lost, like, all the means, you don't have your, you cannot find your seat phrase anywhere
You cannot restore it through email.
There is no way to do it.
Then I think, unfortunately, the answer is no, because if that was verified, you would be able to vote with it.
And if you have lost it, right now, as I said, in the current moment, there is no way to verify yourself.
But this is something that, I mean, first of all, it will definitely, at minimum, be relaunched before the last election, right?
So, like, and, sorry, the next election.
And the next election is already not far.
The next election is, what, like, five months away, right?
So, if, like, right now, you know, only the last election ended.
So, the people who are supposed to take care about everything from now on haven't even got the funding improved, right?
This is what's going to happen when the voting body votes.
So, there is really no one to sort of, like, start taking care of infrastructure for the next election.
But it's still five months away, right?
So, like, once the funding gets approved, people can, like, get to work and get more used to what they're supposed to be doing.
There's definitely going to be, like, a team responsible for creating all the infrastructure for the next election.
There's definitely going to be, like, I'm human reopen or some other type of verification.
So, if I understand you now, I can store it with my email address.
Well, it depends how you created a wallet.
So, actually, like, which wallet did you use to create your NearWallet?
My NearWallet, the new NearWallet.
My NearWallet has an option to create a wallet with, like, regularly, like with seed phrase or with email.
So, if you used email to create it, then you can recover it.
But if you didn't use the email to create it, then obviously, like, you cannot use the email to recover it.
I remember I used the email.
So, that's actually great news.
You know, if you used email and you have access to that email, go in your email and look for the email, like, from NearWallet.
And in that email, there should be your seed phrase and, like, a way to log in back to the account.
It's basically, like, you need to find that email that they sent you when you created a wallet.
Thank you very, very much for this wonderful explanation.
Thank you very much for asking a great question on topic.
I wish you all the best as well.
Actually, guys, like, I see there's a lot of people who want to talk and we'll get to everyone.
But there's some great news I wanted to share with everyone before we move on.
So, basically, it has not happened yet.
But we're planning for it to happen in the upcoming week.
So, we're going to upgrade the way we do our learn and earn system.
And the way we're going to do it is with Metasky, possibly.
So, currently, right, we have a community, obviously, like, people come participate in spaces.
By the way, if you have not joined our Telegram group, that means you are not officially part of the community.
If you want to be officially part of the community, make sure you go to my bio.
The only link I have there is our Telegram link.
That's sort of where you get all, like, the giveaway updates, all the space updates, all the participation, all the activity.
That's where you basically get to meet your new family.
So, all our Chill and Chill community.
But, yeah, currently, as I said before, we just host spaces and then we, like, distribute here and there some little giveaways manually.
And we already try to, you know, not just have, use it for promotion, be like, oh, you win $100 and then, like, just one person wins and everybody else wastes their time.
What we're trying to do, that's why we do the rewards in five near increments.
So, if, for example, a project comes, like we had last week, right, a project comes and they wanted to give away 15 years, that means we can pick 10 winners.
So, basically, you know, with 10 winners, it's, like, almost everyone who came, not almost everyone, right, there were, like, I guess, like, 70 people or so, like, simultaneously and probably around, like, 200 or 300 total that listened, including, like, after the space.
But, even then, right, if there is, like, 100 people listening live and 10 people are winning, that's a pretty good chance to win, right?
So, it's not really about making it, like, hypey, like a giveaway, but about, like, evenly rewarding the community that keeps coming.
So, like, if you keep coming for a lot of spaces, sooner or later, like, you should be able to win at least one of the giveaways since there are so many.
And that's basically, like, the learn to earn part kicking in.
So, now you have, like, the community, you, everyone has incentive to learn about Nier, which you should have been doing even if you would not be rewarded for it.
Because that's already, like, there is value in it by itself.
But on top of that, you have a chance to win a small giveaway.
But the news is what we're trying to do right now is there is this guy, Metas, like, a project, Metasky.
And they basically have a platform for community management.
So, we want to connect Chill and Chill to that.
So, now, instead of just, like, doing giveaways, what we can do is, for example, right, if I do a post about our space, right, like, how I always do when there is a space, like, a space announcement.
Now, we can see in that project, in that, like, Metasky, Metasky, like, community management dashboard, we can see who retweeted it, we can see who liked it, and we can assign points.
So, let's say, like, we put, okay, if you retweet this tweet, you get 10 points.
And then, like, over a week, let's say there is, like, a lot of different tweets that went out, a couple different spaces, and you have retweeted all of them, you have liked all of them, you have tagged your friends, or, like, whatever are the tasks, right?
But this would be, like, the main sort of tasks.
We can't really track space attendance with this, I think, but we can track, like, social media engagement.
And then, for each task, you get some amount of points.
Let's say you get, like, 10 points for retweet, 5 points for, like, I don't know, 5 points for comment, 15 points for quote retweet.
And in the end of the week, there's going to be a leaderboard.
So, we're going to see who from the community was the most active and supported us the most.
So, let's say if you've been active, like, and retweeted, liked everything, you're going to have, like, 1,000 points in the end of the week, right?
And someone else is going to have, like, 900 and 800, so there's going to be, like, 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place.
And then we can distribute some prize, right, based on the points.
So, let's say, like, I don't know, I'm just throwing, like, random numbers out there right now, so don't take it, like, as any promises.
But, for example, if each 100 points you get, you get, like, 1 near.
So, if by the end of the week you have, like, 1,000 points from all the engagement, you get 10 near, which 10 near right now, I think, is worth, like, 15 bucks.
So, of course, it's not a lot.
But the point is, right, there's a lot of people in the community, and it's more about, like, evenly spreading it out, little by little.
So, like, as long as you stay active, you just accumulate it, right, and then it adds up over time.
And this is something that, like, you'd be doing anyway for free, right, like engaging, supporting, retweeting.
But right now there would be, like, a scoring system.
There would be sort of a more direct way to incentivize people.
There would be, like, places, so 1st place, like 2nd place, 3rd place.
So, yeah, really excited about that.
So, hopefully we'll be able to organize our community better and have everyone participate more based on that system.
Maybe we're going to have it set up, like, this week, and for the next place we can already have it running.
So, yeah, that's another important update we have.
And, yeah, let's go to someone else with their hands up.
Yeah, hello, can you hear me now?
Yes, yes, thank you very well.
Okay, yeah, my question is, what is the most important thing you have done to make your community stronger than other difficulties you have to face to make your community strong?
Well, that's a great question.
Thank you, you know, because, like, in the essence, you're right.
What I do with my project is building community.
So, that's something I give a lot of thought to.
What is, like, the right approach to it?
What's the wrong approach to it?
How to make sure that the community is strong, is interested.
So, I mean, first of all, right, of course, it just comes to the topic of interest.
So, I do everything around NIR because I'm a fucking NIR maxi.
And my community is also people who are interested in crypto, interested in blockchain, interested in NIR.
So, that's kind of where we match.
But start, like, from that point, it's, I think it's all about, you know, proper, like, creating proper setting for the community to grow.
So, because, first of all, like, why I love these community spaces, and we had, like, more community spaces before, is where people actually get to know each other.
They get to actually, like, maybe make some friends online.
And there's, like, a lot of really great stories that came out from the Chillenshell community, you know, some people who have never heard of NIR before.
And then they got, like, into our spaces, they started listening.
And after that, I don't know, they started doing some, like, project on NIR, or they started doing, like, some, like, news outlet on NIR, some Twitter accounts, so spreading it that way as well.
So, one thing, like, and why specifically Twitter spaces are so good for creating community is because it takes you out of the format of texting and gets you to the format of, like, talking to each other, which is much more naturally.
And at that point, you know, you don't even need incentives.
You don't even need, like, some type of reward or, like, a reason to be in the chat.
It's just people like talking to each other.
People like making friends.
When people talk to each other, they naturally form connections.
And that's really what, like, the word community, right, is about is a lot of different people that have connections with each other in some way.
And, of course, it helps when it's also around the same interest.
So, that's one thing, you know, like, facilitating, creating connections and obviously, like, around some interesting topic.
Another thing, I think, is, like, providing valuable information.
So, we really try to, like, make this informative and educating and bring, like, very interesting guests all the time.
So, the community is not just here because, like, oh, we're a community, so let's just be here.
But there's actually, like, something to be here for.
So, today is just me talking, right?
So, I guess it's not that interesting.
It's more like a small circle community space.
But usually, we have, like, a guest or a couple guests.
They have some projects they talk about.
And then, the community can also go engage with that project.
They can try it out, see if they want to use it or be part of that community as well.
Get to know the founders, asking them a million questions if they want to.
So, that's, like, another component.
And the third component, I think, is, of course, you know, as everywhere with human beings and all the living things, is aligning incentives properly.
So, you know, learn to earn.
It just gives you one more reason to be here, one more reason to be active.
And, you know, I mean, it takes a lot to be on a Twitter space, like, one hour, sit here through a whole Twitter space,
even if it's, like, educational and it is important, but it's still a lot of time to be dedicating, especially consistently over the long term,
to, like, learning something like NEAR.
So, structure and proper incentives so people can learn.
And also, you know, here and there when a couple NEARs so they can actually play with it.
I think, you know, all those things working together make for a strong community.
But it definitely has to be based on just, like, genuine connection, being respectful to everyone, you know,
giving everyone a chance to express themselves however they want.
So, these are, I think, are sort of our main strong pillars of Chill and Chill community.
But, yeah, let's go to, oh, maybe another question.
It's very different hosting a space by yourself than hosting a space with, when you just, like,
usually I just ask questions, right, and the other side keeps talking, like, the guest just keeps talking for, like, a whole hour.
So, I'm just, like, listening, basically, as well.
But today, doing all the heavy lifting, like, my throat is already dry.
We've been live for around an hour.
But definitely want to give a chance for other people,
because we do have, like, still some people who've been waiting for a long time with their hands up.
So, let's go through the rest of the questions.
And let's go with our mic to Juice.
So, Mr. Juice, feel free to unlock your, unmute yourself and speak.
Thank you for the opportunity.
My question is, during the election, Klinia was banned.
So, I want to know if Diniia is going to be unbanned or is he a fee?
Have you not been able to unbond your NIR yet?
I'm pretty sure, like, like, see, I don't know myself, because I have not, like, I ran in the election.
But, I actually, I voted as well.
That's a good question, you know.
I don't think I ever withdrew my NIR.
But from what I've seen, like, people post in screenshots,
I think, like, now that the election is over,
if you connect your wallet to, like, the same place where you voted,
basically, after you voted, you could mint, like, I voted SBT,
and then after that, you would be able to unbond your NIR,
But I actually haven't went through this process as well.
But see if you can try doing that,
and then if it doesn't work, feel free to, like, hit me up on Telegram,
and maybe I can, like, connect you with whoever is in charge of this,
because I'm actually not sure what happened to that process.
Because, like, the idea was that after you vote,
like, when you vote, you needed to bond three NIR,
which is, like, $3 or so a NIR, right?
To, you know, just to prevent, like, bot attacks
and, like, mass people voting that who's not supposed to be voting.
And I think you would be getting it, like, automatically
in the end of the election.
So I'm actually not 100% sure what has happened there,
whether they just, maybe they just returned it to everyone, like, by itself,
without having to do any action,
or if not, then maybe you have to go on that same website
and just, like, find unbond button somewhere there
So try doing that, and let me know if it works.
Have you actually tried going to, like, the website
and seeing if you can unbond it yet at all?
And what, like, you cannot find that option?
I mean, reach out to me in the DMs after.
I'll try to help you because, honestly, I have no idea myself.
But, oof, we've been live for a long fucking minute.
Let's get to the rest of the questions.
And, okay, let's go to Mr. Hunter Boy.
Mr. Hunter Boy, feel free to unmute yourself and speak.
I know you have been working extremely good on this protocol.
But what are the short-term objectives?
Yeah, I don't think I can hear you well.
Let's actually go to the next question from Bryson.
My question is, what is the difference between expected and achieved result in your project?
And what is the role of decision-making?
I'm actually not sure I understood the question.
What is the difference between expected and achieved result in your project?
And what is the role of decision-making?
And what project are you referring to?
Any project, but I think your project.
But like, which project are you asking the question about?
Well, if you don't know what are you asking the question about, then I don't know how to answer it.
My question is, I want to invest in your project.
Can you tell me how can I get support and what project rule?
What project do you want to invest in?
And see, like, Near is not my project.
So, if you want to invest in Near, I don't want to give you any financial advice.
But, well, it's just a layer one protocol, you know?
So, like, if you want to learn more about it, you can keep coming to our spaces.
Or just, like, look it up for yourself.
And, you know, again, I cannot give you any financial advice.
If you think something is good for invest for you, invest for it.
If you don't want to invest in it, don't invest in it.
But, yeah, I'm not sure how to help you here, my friend.
As, you know, you decide what you want to do with your own money.
It's been a fucking hour right here, 59 minutes on the clock.
Thank you, everyone, who stayed with us.
Yeah, I think maybe for the future, if I'm doing a space by myself, we're going to keep
it a little shorter, because talking for an hour, honestly, like, you run out of topics
and it's just too much work.
But we're going to have more spaces this week, not just me boring talking.
There's going to be actually guests and projects and more giveaways and more fun.
So, don't forget to join our Telegram group.
And if you have a voter SBT, if, like, you know, if you've been voting in the last election,
then you know what I'm talking about, right?
If you have voter SBT, then you know what I'm talking about.
So, if you're listening to me right now and you're one of those people, make sure to stay
There will be another vote soon where we need community to participate.
And if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
And with that being said, guys, thanks, everyone, for coming.
Thanks, everyone, for being active here today, for asking your questions.
And see you all next time.
