The Kusamarian 6 Month Maintenance Proposal

Original Discusion here.

During the Q1 of 2022 Chrawnna Corp. delivered 5 weekday Dotsama-focused news videos every week and established a prototype of WagMedia — a Discord-based reward delivery system focused on connecting those who want to Share, Create, and Distribute the Story of Dotsama with sources of funding.

In Q2, The Kusamarian brand was created, gaining over 1000 followers on Twitter, aiming to deliver even more frequent content with contributions from some of the strongest participants in WagMedia, growing the production team to 8. The team is fantastically agile, able to push out high quality and up to date content, interviews, or Special Series such as the 19 video Polkadot Decoded Reloaded event. All content from the quarter can be found here and our Proof of Work including all research, rough work, references, SEO, and detailed Spending Report is publicly available here.

Several Treasuries were also plugged into** WagMedia **over the last 2 quarters including Polka Häus, Jam’s Cave, Lucky Friday, Astar/Shiden, RMRK, Crust, Moonbeam/Moonriver, Solarbeam, Scytale Ventures, Bifrost, and the Kusama Treasury via Bounty #12. More are on the way!

In **Q3 & 4 **we are requesting to spend the same rates for content production with a slightly reduced output adjusted to market sentiment. We're also reintroducing a Tutorial show for when attention returns to the ecosystem as well as mastering our catalogue of 60+ interviews for distribution on popular podcast platforms. For each quarter we are requesting to spend aprox. 14% less than Q2

We are, however, for the first time additionally proposing to spend 14% of the requested 8002.8 KSM on further developing WagMedia which endeavours to handle all content-focused tip and spending proposals previously put at the foot of the council. Goals over the next 2 quarters include, expanding our peer-reviewed translation and non-anglo community units, opening our Marketing department, and further decentralizing award distribution with the development of our bot, The Concierge. A proposal to top up Bounty #12 to handle the Spend Proposal and Translation features (not part of the original curatorship) will follow shortly.

For now please dive into The Kusamarian 6 Month Maintenance Proposal where you can meet our team, see what they propose to spend, and what they'll continue to build.

Thank you for supporting Chrawnna Corp. from a small tutorial youtube channel to what is today. We work every day to create top quality content in line with Token Holder interests with The Kusamarian. And with WagMedia we put the treasury to work by connecting it to eager content creators Decentralizing the Story of Dotsama within a productive and supportive community.
