Hey Arbinauts, I’m Shelley, a gamer, content creator, and long time Web3 storyteller. I submitted a grant proposal to the Arbitrum Gaming DAO called “Arbitrum Bites: Gaming Content Propulsion” on Questbook, and I’d love your feedback.
I haven’t secured funding yet, and before I give it another push, I want to hear from the community:
**Does this kind of campaign matter to you? Would this help your project or the ecosystem?
**
What is Arbitrum Bites?
Arbitrum Bites is a 3-month content campaign designed to amplify Arbitrum-native games through short-form videos built for TikTok and YouTube Shorts especially aimed at Gen Z and short attention span users.
The goal:
Turn on-chain games into engaging, discoverable content
Bring real players in through storytelling and paid reach
Make Arbitrum gaming accessible for Web2 & Web3 alike
Key Deliverables
-
24 bite-sized videos (60 seconds each)
-
3 monthly recap blogs featuring the best Arbitrum games
-
Paid media support to drive reach and conversions
-
Analytics & engagement reporting each milestone

Why It Matters
Even though amazing games are being built on Arbitrum, many go unnoticed due to lack of visibility and accessible content.
This proposal tackles that with:

Content tailored to the TikTok generation

Monthly themed storytelling around active Arbitrum games

Ad spend to drive growth, not just organic reach
Funding Request: $15,000
Divided across 3 milestones (1 per month):
-
$5,000 each
-
8 videos + 1 recap blog + paid media ads per milestone

-
Motion graphics: $2,400
-
Sound design: $1,000

Why I’m Posting This
It’s been 4 months since submission and while I’m still hopeful, I’d love the community’s feedback:
-
Would this kind of campaign help your game/project?
-
Should this be prioritized by the DAO?
-
What would you improve or adjust?
Let’s make Arbitrum the home of playable, discoverable, shareable games not just technically sound ones.
Thanks for taking the time
