Please explain how this Mission will help accomplish the above Intent:

We all want more builders. Education is how to make it happen. There is a very high dormant potential in LATAM. That is why we need to expand the Optimistic Vision to as many Spanish-speaking people as possible in this ever-growing region of the world.

While we already have a lot of content and courses on scalability and rollups, we believe learning the basics in not enough to transform Latam. That’s why we will teach in-depth about everything related to the pillars of Optimism: Governance, RPGF, and Identity.

To do so, we will create:

  • courses on our gamified platform
  • videos on Youtube
  • live workshops on Youtube
  • blogposts on our website
  • sendouts to our newsletter subscriber
  • gamified activities on Twitter (content to earn competition: open competition for our community to create content on Optimism themselves and receive prices)

Every piece of content / course that we create will also be communicated on our Twitter, Discord and some even on our newsletter, which is read by +1000 people weekly (over 7k subscribers).

What makes your Alliance well-suited to execute this Mission?

Solow is a free Web3 academy for builders in LATAM, offering gamified education and community engagement through a range of innovative initiatives. More than 20,000 people are learning about Web3, Ethereum, Layer2, and the latest tech advancements with our courses.

All of our developments have 3 things in common: clear explanations, gamification, and a lot of engagement. Here is a demo of one of our courses.

As of today, we have created more than 45 courses on our platform and have more than 6900 hours of playback on our YouTube channel.

We’ve been working on free education for almost 2 years. Our numbers:

  • Duolingo-like course platform (entirely free, +5.2k users).

  • Discord (+3k people)

  • Newsletter (+7k people).

  • Free live courses on Youtube (+20k views)

  • Educational games (+10k users altogether)

  • IRL events

d0llar, Growth specialist worked with several web2 companies including a startup consulting firm. Wide and diverse experience working with SEO, SEM, Social Media, and branding.

Pumbi, the “he’s everywhere guy”, strong finance background now evolved into a vibes master, super active in different communities and an active collaborator of “Optimism en Español”.

Love that you include targeted reach

By assitance, do you mean attendees or participants?

In addition to top of funnel metrics - views, impressions, opens - could you also report on active engagement, the % of views impressions opens that take some further action i.e click link on Call to action

Recommend use of tracking URLS to evaluate performance across different channels. Be great to learn which channels most effectively drive engagement with your audience.

Hey there! Thanks for replying to our proposal :slight_smile:

Yes! By assistants I meant live attendees.

We can totally report on engagement metrics.

We didn’t included target number for CTAs since we don’t have yet the detail on what pieces of content will carry CTA. For example, we don’t normally use CTAs on Youtube. Similarly, our courses might or might not have CTA depending on each topic and wether we fill the need to add one or not.

Twitter and Newsletter sendouts, on the other hand, have very clear metrics we can share in detail after the campaign. We will also add tracking URLs when fit.

Thanks again for helping us make this proposal better.

As a contributor of @SEEDGov for the @Joxes delegation, I have analyzed this mission following the criteria mentioned in this post.

  • The proposal follows the standard template and is detailed enough to my liking
  • The requested funds seem sufficient for the scope
  • The proposed scope is beneficial to the drivers LATAM and Optimism need

Therefore, I am IN FAVOR of this mission and the delegation will be using the standard template to confirm this.

Dear Delegates, we would love to hear your feedback on this proposal.

We believe it can be of great value to the Optimism Collective and the LATAM region.

We still need 3 more delegate approvals for our proposal to move forward.

Thanks for your time!
