I want to express my gratitude for your response once again. It’s clear that our dedication lies in the ongoing support of the Axelar Hispanic community; there’s no doubt about that. Our proposal is designed to extend this support by providing an avenue for the creation of additional Spanish-speaking communities. After all, protocols are inherently built upon the foundation of diverse communities.
It’s essential not to overlook the potential interests of community members who might aspire to establish entities like the Axelar Argentina, Axelar Mexico, or Axelar Colombia communities, right? If someone were to express this desire, should we really be discouraging them? I had assumed that you would be more aligned with this proposal, rather than advocating for a centralized community approach.
In essence, I strongly believe that our role is to establish a robust framework that fosters the independent growth of the community. It’s with this core objective in mind that we are putting forth this proposal.
As for the protocols we’ve collaborated with, as mentioned earlier, you’re welcome to join their Spanish-speaking or Latin American channels. Feel free to inquire about Colledge or myself, and you’ll receive a warm response.
Together, let’s join forces to empower the creation of a multitude of Spanish-speaking communities. Our shared goal is to propel the utilization and adoption of Axelar to greater heights.
It is not a question of centralization, on the contrary, the idea is that all the information reaches everyone in one place so that no one misses anything about the ecosystem, that is why I invite you to actively participate and share all your work in the Axelar Hispana community as well as in the t.me/Cosmos_network_ES community where we can reach everyone easily and share about this wonderful ecosystem, we can give you access if you approve your proposal to the local media with administrator privileges so you can comfortably work your services with Axelar and the Hispanic community.
Dear community, I hope you are all doing well! Our team wanted to share this report with you to update you on the progress we’ve made with the Latin American community that we’ve been actively supporting. As you know, we officially launched the project in September 2023, and we have now completed our first three months of work.
Currently, our team consists of Alejandra Pacheco as the leader of the Axelar Latam community, Brenda Palavicino as the Community Lead for Argentina, and Ricardo Fuentes as the Community Lead for Mexico.
During this initial quarter, our focus has been on building networks, initiating content creation, and coordinating virtual activities on our channels, in line with the originally presented plan.
We have received a positive response from the community, and most importantly, we have been able to connect with technical teams working on excellent projects related to Axelar. While our numbers are not as high as we would like, we are already planning our activities for the next three months of the project.
Please feel free to share any questions or concerns you may have! We are always ready to connect and continue building the Axelar community on a global scale!
We invite you to follow our work on our social media platforms: X, Instagram, Medium and Telegram as @axelarlatam (I cannot post all the social media links)
It is a pleasure to share with you the progress and achievements made during the months of November and December 2023. Our dedication and efforts have continued to strengthen Axelar’s community presence and engagement.
Highlighted Achievements:
Virtual Meetings on Xspaces:
We continue to promote connection among members and community projects through virtual meetings on Xspaces. These events have provided a valuable space for the exchange of ideas and experiences.
Telegram Trivia:
We innovated by organizing trivias on our Telegram channel, offering AXL prizes to participants. This dynamic has contributed to active participation and a sense of community.
Medium Content:
We have prepared six new publications on our media platform, Medium. These publications aim to provide relevant and educational information for the Axelar community.
Next Steps:
In-Person Meetups:
We will embark on organizing in-person meetups in Mexico and Argentina to strengthen community bonds directly.
Recruitment of Ambassador for Colombia:
We will initiate the recruitment process for an ambassador in Colombia. This step is crucial to expanding our presence and representation in the region.
Virtual Meetings on Youtube and Instagram:
We aim to organize virtual meetings on platforms such as Youtube and Instagram, expanding our reach and facilitating the participation of a more diverse audience.
Challenges and Commitments:
While we acknowledge that we are still below our membership goals on Telegram and X (Twitter), we want to emphasize our ongoing commitment. We continue to work hard to attract more members to our community, focusing on providing quality information and educational content.
We appreciate the ongoing participation and support of the Axelar community. We are excited about what the future holds and are committed to continuing to build a strong and vibrant community.
I come to deliver a new report on the work we have been doing with the Axelar Latam team during the first quarter of 2024.
In concrete terms, during these first months of the year, we have focused on in-person events, participating in two important events in Latin America:
ETH Cinco de Mayo was a hackathon organized in Puebla, Mexico, which saw the participation of more than 200 developers. During the organization of this event, we hosted a Meetup with Vara Network where we presented important aspects of the Axelar protocol.
ETHLatam Honduras, the most important event in the Ethereum ecosystem in Latin America, with over 1,000 attendees. For this event, we requested funds to have a stand and merchandise for the community. Kate from the Axelar team joined us during the event. We participated in talks and knowledge-sharing sessions.
In terms of social media, on Twitter, we had over 23k impressions on our tweets and we now have more than 220 followers. On Telegram, we have surpassed 100 participants with very good community engagement. On Instagram, we already have more than 60 followers.
Next steps:
For the second quarter of 2024, we will focus on expanding Axelar’s knowledge base in the region through the ambassador program, which we were unable to implement during the first quarter of the year. The focus will be on establishing a presence in Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela, and coordinating in-person Meetups to attract more people to the Axelar community.
Some important points to consider:
Our original proposal covered a work plan until January 2024, but thanks to fund management and the rise in AXL price, we have been able to keep the project and the team working for longer than proposed.
We have had very good communication with the global Axelar team, which has allowed us to have their support to visualize participation in various events that will take place in Latin America in the Ethereum ecosystem.
We know that our presence on Twitter and Telegram is not as strong, but we continue to work on the proposed plan, we know this takes time, but we are aware that there is already interest from the community in Latin America.
