Clear Problem Statement:
•What gap, challenge, or opportunity are you addressing? I will add regular Zcash content which progressively push the videos on Youtubes algorithm, if you go to my youtube channel ‘Cryptocurrency Theory’ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s9XqBwoXCiY
My Zcash related videos have and can continue to grasp a new audience to the community.
•Why does it matter for the Zcash ecosystem or community? There has to be marketing past the technical side. If you have a technically sound product it should be highlighted in a conceptual way to an audience that is not familiar to understand it, that’s where I come in.
Proposed Solution:
•What exactly will you do to address the problem? As mentioned in my proposal I have drawn out the schedule of frequency and what type of videos I plan to deliver.
•Describe the activities, deliverables, or outputs.
I stated this in my proposal the deliverables and frequency, over 500+ videos will be completed by 12-31-2026 , almost a year a way.
•Impact on the Zcash Ecosystem: It should be positive since I am bringing people into the ecosystem.
•How will this proposal advance adoption, awareness, or utility of Zcash? More users, bigger ecosystem.
•Who benefits (developers, users, etc.) and how? Users and developers, a bigger community is the most obvious problem I am trying to solve.
•Team Background & Capacity: It is a one person team, but if you take the time and check out my channel , my subscribers are growing and I am not even at the moment able to give 100% because I have no resources at all, so I am stuck working with a small budget.
•Who are you, and what relevant experience do you bring? Chadwick Bailey, Proprietor of Cryptocurrency Theory on YouTube
•Provide evidence of past successes. Multiple new subscribers that can be shared via YouTube analytics with interested vested parties if needed regarding this grant. My Channel has covered Zcash for 3 years regularly, and this grant would bring it to the top of my priority list moving forward.
•If you’re working with partners, explain their role and qualifications. No partners at this time.
•Budget & Timeline $49,999 usd for the frequency of videos until 12/31/2026
•Provide a clear, itemized budget (staff, contractors, travel, events, marketing, etc.).
it basically breaks down to ~approximately under $100 for the 500+ videos completed by the end of next year, 12/31/2026
•Outline a timeline with major milestones and expected completion date(s).
it basically breaks down to ~approximately under $100 for the 500+ videos completed by the end of next year, 12/31/2026
Success Criteria:
•What does success look like? Growth in the Zcash community
•How will you measure progress and impact? Through my YouTube analytics that I can gladly share with vested parties
Sustainability / Next Steps:
•Will the project require ongoing funding? Let’s see how the next year and 3 months goes
•How will it continue to add value after ZCG support ends? Youtube will keep pushing the videos, and I likely will get the support from the broader Zcash community to continue if you can have some trust here.
