Project Description:
As our current proposal concludes, we are pleased to report its success. Interlinked DAO has consistently delivered significant value to the Axelar community, achieving the goals outlined in both our current and previous proposals. Detailed records can be found in the Axelar Community Forum governance section: Axelar Governance Forum.
Building on this success, we aim to continue spreading knowledge about Axelar, enabling the community to self-organize, and raising awareness of Axelar’s importance in cross-chain communication and the interoperable Web3 future. Our primary goal for the next five months is to sustain and enhance the Axelar Ecosystem X Account and Axelarators Telegram Group.
Impact:
The Axelarators Telegram Group has evolved into a self-organized, active community. Members are deeply engaged in discussions about Axelar’s protocol, future directions, and potential enhancements. This vibrant voice is crucial for educating others about blockchain interoperability and encouraging contributions to Axelar’s ecosystem.
Key achievements include:
- A growing membership base, with discussions often surpassing those in the official Telegram group.
- Consistent achievement of targets and KPIs during the previous proposal period.
- Development of a knowledgeable community presence that fosters innovation and education about Axelar’s technology.
For detailed growth and engagement data, refer to the Q4 Update in our most recent proposal update.
Axelar Ecosystem Account on X:
InterlinkedDAO’s management of the Axelar Ecosystem X account has added value on multiple fronts, including community engagement, project spotlights, AMAs, weekly content, and shaping a new, unique style for the Ecosystem account. These efforts align seamlessly with Axelar’s recent rebrand, ensuring consistent and impactful messaging. Operating independently from the Axelar team, InterlinkedDAO has successfully showcased ecosystem projects and promoted Axelar through decentralized operations. The Ecosystem X account has become a critical channel for engaging content and community interaction.
Goals, Milestones, & KPIs:
Goal 1: Maintain and grow the Axelarators Telegram community.
KPIs:
- Increase membership by 3,000 members by the end of 2025.
- Foster a more engaged and vocal community to improve the quality of interactions.
- Continue organizing community competitions aligned with Axelar’s roadmap and activities.
Goal 2: Sustain a community-owned Axelar Ecosystem X account to support the ecosystem and engage builders and projects using Axelar.
KPIs:
- Maintain activity levels as outlined in the previous Ecosystem X Account proposal.
- Share high-quality content and updates about Axelar’s ecosystem activities.
- Promote ecosystem projects to ensure impactful interaction with the community and builders.
Deliverables, Timeline, and Milestones:
- Operate the Axelarators Telegram Group and Ecosystem X Account for an additional five months (February 2025 - June 2025).
- Provide a report detailing engagement statistics, community feedback, and a detailed overview of activities at the end of the duration
Risks and Mitigation:
Challenges include:
- Potential declines in engagement or activity levels.
- Risk of participants being motivated by rewards rather than genuine interest.
To mitigate these risks, we will:
- Distribute rewards only to active members with meaningful contributions.
- Use tools such as Guild verification to reduce bot activity and prevent sybil attacks.
Motivation:
Our strong connection with the Axelar community drives us to continue contributing. Managing the Axelarators Telegram Group and Ecosystem X account has deepened our commitment to Axelar’s mission, and we are eager to play an even larger role in its future.
Bio & Previous Work:
Interlinked DAO has successfully executed three previous proposals, meeting or exceeding objectives and KPIs. Our contributions to Axelar community projects have solidified our reputation as reliable and effective partners. With the renewal of this proposal, we aim to build on these successes and further strengthen our relationship with the Axelar community.
