Thanks, @jengajojo. Following with your questions:

• A.- The final amount of spent budget was around 101k. The remaining unused funds were returned to the Protocol. Please, note that this budget was to cover the work of a team of three —currently Atoma consist of four members— and that the team didn't have a budget between the first and second stage of the program (around 3 months), thus working ad honorem during that period.

  You can consult a more detailed spreadsheet on team's expenses here.

• B.- While those numbers are correct and are verifiable, please take in consideration that those are the maximum exponent of each case, and not the total of listeners or the total amount of impressions, being those numbers higher if we take into account the 8 Spaces and the over 3700 X's posts made since the beginning of the Program.

• C.- I guess it would be possible, but it would also be very hard to create different categories for the work we've done, assign an economic value to each task and count every single word translated in official documentations, informative threads and other communicational reports we worked on (such as Weekly MIPs Update, Weekly Relay, Forum at a Glance). Besides, it would not represent the full extent of our work, as there's also been original content creation, participation in calls of other projects and communities besides our own (such as Defiant, Coinbase, Platzi, DeFi LATAM, La Dream Machine, ETH Venezuela and others), assisting newcomers to the DAO, and other activities that came naturally with our role.

If you want to take a closer look to our work done so far, you can check our last MIP55 on Maker's Forum.

First of all, we want to thank @GFXlabs and @SEEDlatam for their kind words and support of our proposal. It's great to see friendly faces around :) We also want to thank SEED for making community translations available. We'll take care of carrying out QA and adapting them to the format of future translations in case this proposal is accepted by the community.

Also, Hi @jengajojo! Thank you for your questions. Let's take them one by one:

• 1.- As mentioned before, this team was born from MakerDAO's Ambassador Program. Our initial budget for a 3 month pilot run was 25k, and community showed great support to the project in this first voting. After the pilot, we then requested a bigger budget (81K) to extend the program over the next 6 months; once again, we received a strong support from the community in the votings. These budgets were to cover translations and virtual/physical meetups only, but our team actually went beyond that and worked for almost a year, delivering not only professional translations of official documentation and participated in meetups as agreed, but we also stablished a new official MakerDAO domain for Latin America, created monthly newsletters, started hosting X (fka Twitter) Spaces in a series we called Meet the Makers, and more, with no extra budget. Our project has done nothing but grow in the past year, and we expect it to keep growing over the next one.

You can find our previous milestones timeline for Maker here and our deliverables timeline here.

• 2.- Regarding content views, we should take into account Newsletters, X Threads, and X Spaces, that were some of the improvements we made after our pilot.

  • Newsletters: Newsletters in the Maker forum have an average of 2.5k visitors, and we have received multiple badges for the amount of outside visitors to the forum. The combination of protocol's information and worldwide ecosystem news has proven effective in attracting attention to the community. There has been positives reviews, like the words La Dream Machine dedicated us in one of their recent articles.

  In case you're wondering what our newsletters are like, you can find some here and here.

  • X's Threads and Spaces: The reach of our threads and Spaces has been volatile. We have posted Twitter/X threads that have achieved remarkable impact due to their content and approach, and others which have not been equally well received by the audience. We have always used this information to iterate and seek to communicate in the most attractive way possible. With an account numbering less than 1500 followers we managed to produce threads that reached more than 100,000 people and Spaces with over 1k listeners, thus the key lies in constancy and in learning from our followers' interaction with each of our actions. Please also note that these numbers are prior to the development of our X's strategy guide and we expect a better outcome from future work.

  If you want to check our latest Space, you can do it here.

• 3.- Due to privacy and technical aspects, it is pretty hard —or undesirable— for Maker to keep a precise track of how users interact with DAI, specially with all the intermediaries and different paths an user can take or follow regarding their assets. Directly link the account creation ratio to our work it is also pretty hard. We know that the measurement of qualitative aspects can be complex, that's why we're proposing two type of reports on our activities.

  • To address issues like this one, we also did —and we plan to continue doing— surveys to keep track of different variables and then process that information with both metric and qualitative approach.

  You can take a look of the survey's report here. A summed up version of some of the results can be seen in this article by Cointelegraph.

We invite community members, delegates, and facilitators to provide feedback on our proposal. We want to make ourselves available to the community, so the Atoma team will also be participating in future Open Governance Calls to further talk about our project, answer questions and address any concerns.

Hello everyone.

As a group that interacted both virtually and face-to-face with members of Atoma, we would like to share some comments:

SEED Latam and the Ambassador Program

In August of last year, while we were already taking our initial steps in governance, we decided to engage in the governance of MakerDAO. After discussing the challenges with the SEED Latam team, we began working on our future application, diligently reading and studying all the necessary requirements to launch a delegate platform. At Devcon (Bogotá), we had the opportunity to speak with @Jos, who encouraged us to participate in MakerDAO. It was after that event that we contacted @Sebix (leader of the Ambassador program), and he immediately assisted us in the process, always accessible and willing to clarify any doubts we had regarding the procedures we needed to follow. We also had the chance to meet @harrizko, and the entire team supported us for months as we studied and prepared.

Amidst all the preparations to launch the delegate platform, 2022 came to an end, and in January 2023, the Endgame was launched. This changed the forum, governance, our perspective on MakerDAO governance, and the conditions of our participation. After reading and studying the new changes and clearing up some doubts about the new procedures, we decided to adjust our perspective and create Sovereign Finance AVC. Throughout this journey, Sebix and his team remained close by.

The work carried out with SEED Latam was not easy, and it took a significant amount of time to gain a deep understanding of MakerDAO governance. In our early stages, the program's support in clarifying complex concepts or processes was highly valuable.

Thanks to this process, we were able to quickly adapt to MakerDAO and even felt confident in taking on more governance responsibilities. As a result, in mid-March, we annouced our delegate @cattin for Arbitrum DAO. Almost closing the circle, we helped Atoma clarify some doubts about Arbitrum and structure their proposal, reciprocating the kindness they had shown us over the past several months :slight_smile:

Replicating the Model in Other Regions

Undoubtedly, actors in Latin America have grown, diversified, and made significant contributions in recent months, but there is still a long way to go. Nonetheless, we are on the path, and we would like to see initiatives like this replicated in other languages.

To DAO members: Translations are important, but even more critical is thinking and building in your own language. Generating content in different languages also enables fruitful local discussions about how to implement the use of Arbitrum in a particular region or community. If Atoma's proposal proves successful, we would love to see incentives for similar initiatives to be replicated in regions beyond Latin America. We are eager to connect with the communities in Turkey at the upcoming Devconnect or the Southeast Asian communities to learn about their challenges, aspirations, and community members.

We want to present this humble contribution on behalf of the Layer 2 en Español community, which has already translated 19 articles of the DAO governance documentation to avoid duplication of efforts. This resource is open and available for use, with terminology carefully selected by contributors who deal with technical articles daily:

https://mirror.xyz/0x5F4e41B8AD58d1334334e78b1A6496Ff6cf7CA28

We vouch for the work of this team and hope they can find their place within the DAO with this proposal or future ones.

¡Adelante!

Nadie nos va a regalar la historia.

Hi @sebix, nice to have you around!

According to the notion you mention, do you plan to have control over the official Arbitrum Español account (twitter, instagram, etc)? How do you plan this interaction you propose with the foundation?

3. Channels

Our purpose is to produce content for Arbitrum's official channels, in order to supply the Spanish-language media with educational, creative and interactive resources. In the case of those channels that do not exist yet, we want to take the initiative and create them in order to open new doors and trigger discussion.

We are excited to contribute to building and strengthening the Arbitrum community in regions where it has extremely high potential, such as the Latin American audience.

Here I would also like to ask @cliffton.eth and @stonecoldpat for help, how does Arbitrum Foundation plan to handle this kind of proposals for partners?

I also want to clarify that being part of @SEEDLatam I have personally met @sebix and his team.

These comments are personal and do not represent the opinion of the SEEDLatam delegation.

Thanks for sharing @Sebix and congratulations on the success in MakerDAO.

a. Am I correct in understanding that there was a total of 106K spent of this work in MakerDAO? b. Is it correct that the above budget had the following verifiable deliverables:

• 7 newsletters at 2.5K avg views = 17500 views in total
• 1K listeners on Spaces
• 100K impressions
• number of words translated

c. Is it possible to know the

• cost per newsletter view
• cost per impression
• cost per listen
• cost per translated word

Cheers

Thanks for the proposal @Sebix

Can you please help us understand your past results in terms of

1. What was the budget in all of the programs which you have received funds for? Can you please divide it by each sponsor?

2. Content views:

1. What is the average open rate for the newsletters over the last 6 months
2. How many views did each of the content pieces that were published in the last month generate?

3. Event Outputs

a. How many verifiable nonsybil new wallet addresses were created ? b. How many transactions did these new wallets create so far?
