@kazanderdad.near [Posted on DevHub](https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=1744) ## Idea: NearCon Hacker Stipend - KazanderDad ### Event Information **NearCon**, Lisbon, Portugal, Nov 7-11 ### Host Background I'm **KazanderDad**, a longtime core contributor with GWG and we have been building NDC since Q4 2022. I'm also the co-founder of [I-am-Human](https://i-am-human.app) Prior hackathon submissions: - https://devpost.com/software/i-am-human-app As part of GWG I've also helped bring these apps to BOS: https://near.org/kudos.ndctools.near/widget/NDC.Kudos.Main https://near.org/sayalot.near/widget/SayALot https://near.org/easypoll-v0.ndc-widgets.near/widget/EasyPoll?page=official_polls https://near.org/nomination.ndctools.near/widget/NDC.Nomination.Page https://near.org/election.ndctools.near/widget/NDC.Elections.Main https://near.org/astraplusplus.ndctools.near/widget/home ### Dev/Project Potential Stickiness The apps I've built or helped building are essential for building trusted governance in the NEAR ecosystem, and ultimately rebooting funding for all other grassroots projects. Specifically the I-am-Human app has potential to help all DAOs with gating their memberships, bringing real democratic governance into every app. It can also have very good effects as a decentralized option Twitters "Blue Checkmark," enabling participants in Near to build trust and reputation on-chain. ### Budget My travel budget can be broken down as follows: Flights $1,100 Accomodation: $300 **Total: $1,400** Thank you for opportunity for a travel stipend to attend NEARCON. I'm Here to collaborating with NEAR ecosystem to build governance, reputation & identity infrastructure projects for community builders.
