## Farcon ticket reimbursement request (posted via [Build DAO Gateway](https://nearbuilders.org/feed?tab=request)) #### Description $200 USDC to flowscience.near for the cost of the ticket [(txn hash)](https://basescan.org/tx/0x0b99c852b17b15b430131b894da8c9f9ae1257cdce9b5a2c3ae86d4205d7c241 ).  #### Why This Proposal? [Farcon](https://farcon.xyz/) is a 3-day hackathon and 1-day summit in Venice, CA focused on Farcaster and social graph technology happening from 5/2/24 - 5/5/24. That's less than an hour drive from where I live, so I applied to attend when I first heard about the event in February. I've been working to grow my multichain-social personal brand and technical depth since - to improve my chance of being approved for this sold-out invite-only conference. I've mentioned [Near/NearSocial in my posts on Warpcast](https://warpcast.com/flowscience/0x9480e01a) a few times now so I'm requesting this support for going to an IRL event and furthering my work on bridging worlds/chain. I was just approved the other day and [managed to secure one of the last 50 tickets last night](https://opensea.io/assets/base/0x456cc03543d41eb1c9a7ca9fa86e9383b404f50d/298). I'm going to build the [Global Profile Rankings Gateway + Components](https://opencann.notion.site/Global-Profile-Rankings-Using-Karma3-socialDB-77a9ddcd7c6b4422a971e494fbd3e4c4?pvs=4) that I spec'd out at the Social Oneness Hack day in Denver & knock something off my roadmap for June a month early. :) I'll publish a post on both Warpcast and Near Social after the event sharing my build and summarizing my experience at the event. That's it! Thanks for considering this request. #build #request
