Impact

RPC providers have not been the main topic in the Japanese community. And Japan has a significant language barrier. We can support POKT Network in getting direct intentions from the Japanese market through Japan Hub’s work. POKT Network can provide more education opportunities at the discretion of PRC providers.

Planned work

Establishment of POKT Japan Hub

Manage the Japanese X account. - The Japanese crypto community is in X.

We will create the Japanese X account for it, and we will report metrics(a number of impressions, followers, posts).

Translate Japanese updates, news, and information across these community groups.

Publish these updates and information on various content platforms such as Twitter.

Engage with members of the Japanese community, providing answers and insights about the Pocket Network. Try a collaboration event or AMA with POKT Korea Hub.

Hey @FractonVentures excited to have you open a quick grant! We’d love to be in conversation in the Japanese community.

I’m interested in seeing what an AMA for your audience would look like and the attendance. Someone from the Foundation can be available for the AMA as well, so please start planning what that could look like - i believe @coineasy did one last month with Adz and it went great, so feel free to reach out to them.

I’m confirming that this quick grant is open, starting April 15. You’ll be expected to report impact this month, so please open a grant in https://gap.karmahq.xyz/pokt/ . You’ll want to fill out your first milestone which will be the work you plan to do for April, and to be measured against.

Since it’s our first time working together, the first payment will go out after your impact report in early May, at which point we’ll set you up on a Hedgey stream.

Looking forward to working together!

  • Many Web3 people, including most crypto media in Japan, listened to the space in April. DePIN is still in the beginning phase in Japan. We realized how important it is to educate people on why decentralization is important in this field and why this field fits micro-incentives through a blockchain.

Contents:

  • Guests in our space asked us how to use POKT RPC, a step-by-step guide in Japanese. We know how important it is to create content in Japanese, so we will start making it for the following Japan Hub space events.

Challenge:

  • We’d like to report here soon when the follower reach to 100 followers.
