Arbitrum Creative Hub ( FINAL REPORT )

[Larkim]

We are excited to present the final report on the “Arbitrum Creative Hub” initiative — a program dedicated to expanding the Arbitrum ecosystem in Nigeria.

The Arbitrum Creative Hub is on a mission to bridge the gap between visionary creators and skilled developers. Our goal is to produce founders and empower underrepresented creatives by transforming their innovative ideas into real, impactful projects.

We’re proud to report a significant increase in the number of developers and founders now proficient in building with Arbitrum Stylus, contributing meaningfully to the growth of both the Arbitrum ecosystem and the broader Web3 space.

Our goal is not just to build and deploy products on Arbitrum Stylus, but to ensure these products are developed sustainably and deliver strong ROI to the Arbitrum Stylus ecosystem.

As a next step, we plan to expand our educational workshops, which have already proven to be highly effective in engaging and onboarding developers.

Additionally, we will launch an incubation program to support projects being built within our community — helping them evolve from concept to mainnet deployment, while driving user growth and adoption.

Thank you for making this possible @Manugotsuka @SEEDGov @cattin @Pruitt @suka @JoJo @axlvaz_SEEDLATAM.eth

This is really cool to see.

There seems to have been a large turnout. There was actual code written and put on to the test networks and shipped to GitHub by real builders. Many of the use cases have potential and are good uses of Arbitrum’s infrastructure benefits.

Can you remind us again what the budget was for this event?

We would also suggest that some follow up to continue driving forward those who have seen Arbitrum and used it could be in order. For example, we tried all of the linked apps and none of them seemed to work because of wallet connection errors.

So this is a great start, but we’d like to see what the follow up plans are for further growing the user and developer base while expanding the presence of the DAO.

[Larkim]

Thank you so much @chamadao for acknowledging our work—we truly appreciate it!

The budget for this event was dedicated to educating developers on how to build using the Arbitrum Stylus stack. Under this educational initiative, we successfully hosted two in-person workshops with support from educational domain with @Manugotsuka @axlvaz_SEEDLATAM.eth @SEEDGov. @suka

I recently tested the application by connecting my wallet, and it’s working well. The community has been building using Arbitrum Stylus on the Sepolia testnet. As these products are still in the testnet phase, we’re actively preparing for next steps.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue creating more educational sessions to deepen our existing developer base’s understanding of Arbitrum development. We also aim to onboard new developers into building with Stylus.

In addition, we’re focused on expanding the projects already created by our developers and transitioning them to mainnet—so that real users can start interacting with them.

[chamadao]

Thanks, it will be good to see continued growth on these initiatives.

Regarding the budget, what we would like to know is roughly how much was spent for this event and use this as a way to compare to some other initatives in the DAO.

[Larkim]

Thank you so much . For this initiative we had 2 workshops training where we brought developers together to build different products on Arbitrum stylus. We allocated $4500 to the planning workshop, we also had an hackathon program different from the workshop for submission ,we allocated $3000 for the hackathon program
