1TRIBE: Africa On DOT - Phase II
Empowering Africa's Future with Polkadot: Beyond Boundaries, Towards a Decentralized Tomorrow
Short Description:
11 months into our mission at 1TRIBE, we've successfully fused African culture with the Web3 economy via Polkadot, exceeding expectations and pioneering innovation across the continent.
Our primary aim in Phase 1 was to curate a substantial content library, a goal we've proudly met. It's important to note that this phase was focused solely on content creation without an official launch or marketing effort. Consequently, while our social engagement levels may not match expectations, this was by design, as our efforts were concentrated on building a solid foundation.
Over the last five months, following the completion of Phase 1, all content shared on our social media has been self-financed, separate from our Phase 1 content library. This approach was taken to solicit crucial feedback from the community. By doing so, we aim to ensure our official launch and future initiatives are perfectly tailored to meet the community's needs and maximize Polkadot's impact in regions where its presence has yet to be established.
This groundwork sets the stage for an impactful Phase 2, where we aim to broaden blockchain education and foster Polkadot adoption across Africa, heralding a new era of digital innovation in a region ripe for transformation.
Dear Visionaries and Changemakers of the Polkadot Community,
In the heart of Africa, a revolution brews—a fusion of rich traditions and digital frontiers, powered by 1TRIBE and the boundless possibilities of Polkadot. As we stand at the dawn of a new era, I, George Ayinde, along with the passionate team at 1TRIBE, invite you to be part of a pivotal movement. A movement not just to introduce Polkadot to Africa but to weave it into the very fabric of the continent's digital future.
Why This Matters: The Polkadot Imperative
Africa, with its dynamic cultures and untapped potential, remains a largely uncharted territory in the global Polkadot narrative. 1TRIBE's mission transcends the mere introduction of technology; it is about igniting a Web3 renaissance that places Africa on the map of digital innovation. Our proposal for Phase 2 is a leap into realizing a vision where Polkadot becomes the heartbeat of Africa's burgeoning digital ecosystem.
The 1TRIBE Difference: Unleashing Creativity and Commerce
Our journey thus far has been remarkable, yet what lies ahead is transformative. The official launch of 1TRIBE is poised to mark a significant milestone in bringing Polkadot to the forefront of African innovation.
A Web3 News Segment That Bridges Worlds: Delve into a curated mix of music, art, and Web3 updates, capturing the essence of African vibrancy and digital progress. This isn't just news; it's the narrative of a continent on the rise.
Interactive Art and NFT Gallery: Imagine a space where African digital art doesn't just exist but thrives, creating a community of creators, collectors, and enthusiasts, all within the Polkadot ecosystem.
The WURA Marketplace Revolution: Beyond a marketplace, WURA is a declaration of the endless possibilities of digital and physical commerce integration. With partnerships across Africa and Polkadot's technology, we're setting the stage for a new era of African design and fashion.
WEB3 Digest Blog and Educational Hub: Our commitment to education and engagement takes form in an in-depth blog, offering everything from blockchain basics to advanced Polkadot insights, empowering students, professionals, and enthusiasts across Africa.
A Platform for Musicians and Artists: 1TRIBE isn't just a platform; it's a stage for African talent to shine globally, leveraging Polkadot's network for unprecedented exposure and connection.
Dual Login Functionality for All: With user experience at our core, we offer seamless access through both Web2 and Web3 portals, ensuring that 1TRIBE is a home for every African, tech-savvy or not.
Evolving into a Super App: Our vision for 1TRIBE is bold—an ecosystem that mirrors the functionalities of Instagram, Deezer, and YouTube, becoming the ultimate hub for African creativity and innovation in the Web3 space.

Hello @1TRIBE,
First of all, you need to place the decision deposit otherwise your proposal is going to time out in 9 days 7 hours as of me writing this comment.
It appears that for your first proposal you have received 47,281 DOT, roughly 288,000 USD on the 29th of March, 2023. Some findings of mine from your report Phase I report:
Overall, I find the idea of merging entertainment, commerce and education good, and Africa could really be a fertile ground for such development, but the work so far doesn't at all justify the $288K USD of funds received. Nay from me. In my opinion you have clearly failed to deliver. Please feel free to respond to this comment with the justification of the budget spent and the missing material I pointed at above.
Best regards,

Hello kukabi | Helikon,
Thanks for reaching out and highlighting your concerns. I want to clarify a few points to ensure there's a clear understanding of our situation and actions. I will respond per point.
Firstly, the videos we promised from our content library haven't been published on any platform yet. The content currently on YouTube is intended to keep our community informed about our progress and activities, not to showcase our content library. This approach was chosen deliberately as we navigate our strategy for a broader release.
About the content we've produced: we actually did more than what we initially set out to do. Instead of the 32 videos we promised, we've made a total 72 various content, including two documentaries, "Women of Wonder" and "Thriving in Chaos", along with series like #welearn and "The Web3 Digestive" that help explain Web3 concepts (bootstrapped by the tech ed team at w3f).
It's important to note that our initial funding didn't cover marketing expenses. Our focus was on content creation and meeting our project milestones, which we achieved despite facing unexpected financial challenges. Specifically, we encountered significant losses due to the depreciation of DOT's value during our production phase. These financial hurdles, however, didn't deter us from delivering on our commitments.
I've discussed these challenges and our journey in a detailed community update video. This video not only sheds light on the content we've developed but also the financial and operational obstacles we've overcome. Watching this update will provide a comprehensive view of our dedication and the effective use of the resources allocated to us. Here’s the link to the update:

In terms of making our content library available to the public, we are committed to a strategic approach. Our goal is to ensure that the launch of our full library is not only well-coordinated but also backed by the necessary marketing resources to truly maximize its reach and impact. For instance, we've designed our content library with a weekly release schedule in mind, similar to traditional TV programming. This means we could release an episode of "Women of Wonder" every Wednesday and an episode of "#WELEARN" every Monday, creating a consistent and engaging content calendar for our audience. Achieving this level of structured content delivery is a key objective for Phase 2, ensuring our platform remains dynamic and engaging for our users.
