Intro

Purpose of Using DoraHacks AEZ Grant: Cito Earn Campaign

We aim to use Dora Hack’s ATOM Economic Zone Quadratic Grant to roll out the Cito Earn Campaign. Our ultimate goal is to reward content creators who contribute to the AEZ and Cosmos Ecosystem, just like Solana SuperTeam has been very successful with its Earn campaign.

Goal: Encourage people to create high-quality content related to the Cosmos Hub, the AEZ and the Cosmos Ecosystem as a whole. This will help form a grass-root, active and strong community around the Hub and the AEZ.
Topic: The topics can be an overview, tutorial for beginners, deep dive into DeFi or technical breakdown of how a protocol works. Format: It can be long-form content like threads, articles or video clips on YouTube or Twitter (X).
How we’re going to run it: We aim to host a recurring monthly campaign and reward 3-5 content creators with the funds that we receive from the grant. The campaign will be covered on our Twitter (X), Website and Cryptocito Youtube channel for the highest engagement.
How the fund is allocated: 80% of the Grant we receive will be used to reward the winners. 20% of the Grant will be used for administration and infra costs.
