Abstract
This proposal seeks to fund the role of Arbitrum Independent Trench Operative, a position dedicated to onboarding projects, fostering innovation, and unifying the ecosystem. With a deep passion for Arbitrum and an established presence on Twitter (@oxdoneth, 4,000+ followers), I aim to be a dynamic force driving the ecosystem forward, engaging directly with builders, testing emerging trends, and connecting stakeholders.
Motivation
The Arbitrum ecosystem is thriving, but as it grows, the need for a central, independent figure to champion its builders and amplify its innovation has become evident. Builders often face challenges navigating grants, finding resources, and gaining visibility. My role would focus on being in the trenches with these creators, guiding them, supporting them, and ensuring they have the tools and connections to succeed.
The ecosystem needs someone who is not just passionate but deeply embedded in its culture—someone who can unite the network, spot trends early, and act as a bridge between projects and grant teams. With my proven ability to engage audiences and my experience within the community, I am uniquely positioned to fulfill this role.
Rationale
The heart of Arbitrum lies in its builders, developers, and users. My initiative directly supports the ecosystem’s mission by:
- Empowering Builders: Personally onboarding 50+ projects in one year, helping them secure grants, and connecting them to the right stakeholders.
- Fostering Community Growth: Leveraging my 4,000+ Twitter followers to amplify projects, share insights, and engage with trends.
- Unifying Stakeholders: Bridging gaps between traders, developers, business developers, and community members, creating a cohesive and collaborative ecosystem.
- Identifying Scale Points: Exploring and testing emerging trends (e.g., AI, DeFi) to highlight opportunities for growth and adoption.
This initiative is not about fixed hours but about passion. I’m committed to dedicating 70% of my time to this mission, actively engaging with builders and projects across platforms, with Twitter as my primary tool for outreach, networking, and advocacy.
Specifications
I will:
- Use my Twitter platform (@oxdoneth) to engage with builders, share updates, and amplify projects.
- Actively onboard new projects into the ecosystem and guide them through the grant process.
- Test and highlight promising trends, serving as a direct point of contact for builders and the community.
Impact
This initiative is more than just a proposal; it’s a movement to support the grassroots growth of Arbitrum. By bringing 50+ projects to the ecosystem, connecting builders with resources, and amplifying innovation, I will ensure that Arbitrum remains at the forefront of blockchain development and adoption.
Cost
This proposal requests funding of $36,000 for one year. It will be a Monthly payment schedule of $3000 for 12 months.
This is a passion project. With your support, I will dedicate my energy and skills to making the Arbitrum ecosystem stronger, more connected, and ready for the future.
