Executive Summary
This proposal aims to incentivize influencers and community builders (Key Opinion Leaders, KOLs) to educate and expand the Blast Ecosystem into various countries and languages. By providing a gold allocation to those who initiate and grow communities such as Blast Japan, Blast China, Blast Indonesia, and others, we can foster greater global awareness and adoption of the Blast Ecosystem.
Motivation
Educating people about the Blast Ecosystem in their native languages is crucial for expanding its reach and inviting non-English speaking users. By incentivizing influencers and community builders, we can create a network of localized communities that share and educate more people about Blast. This approach will enhance user engagement, increase adoption, and strengthen the overall ecosystem.
Proposal Details
