Harmony India DAO

Hello! Happy to see the first week of Harmony India DAO has been considered a success.

Harmony does not pay governors per week. Harmony funds the DAO treasury and govs submit timesheets to the DAO and pay themselves.

Once certain Regional DAO milestones have been met, the India DAO will send an invoice to Harmony and we will fund the treasury and the DAO can pay out govs.

I know the India DAO has been making good progress with the translations and community building! Excited to attend some of the virtual meet-ups!

The second week of Harmony DAO India was definitely exciting and engaging. The team’s bonding has grown and the Governors are contributing to each other’s profile as per their expertise. Guided with the principles of transparency and accountability, the team has performed its duties in a time-bound manner as is evidenced in the time sheets.

:star: In order to decide the right way forward, the Governors have engaged on multiple occasions with group calls led by the Lead Governor and each working unit i.e. Content, Marketing, Operations and the Technical units have put their views across to steer through the week.

:star: With 266 Twitter followers, we have achieved a little more than the targeted halfway mark within 2 weeks. (Target for the first month is 500 followers). The meme contest held on the occasion of Republic day of India has been extremely instrumental in getting a jump in the number of followers. ‘Engage, educate and earn’ is a cyclic process that the Team intends to take up for its community building activities!

:star: A total of 48 tweets were shared since the inception on various topics like:

:blue_heart: Major moves that Harmony has been making towards ecosystem development like the onboarding of PrivacyDAO and zkDAO as well as exciting growth figures obtained from various sources like Harmony’s Twitter handle, Messari’s growth report, etc.

:blue_heart: Republic day greetings for the Indian Community and the launch of a meme contest on the people’s perception of Harmony India DAO and the good we can do to the community.

:blue_heart: We also make sure to portray any and every new integrations like the bridging of AAG and ONE on Sushiswap, etc.

:blue_heart: The tweets were accompanied by great visuals made by our talented Graphics team and that has definitely contributed to approximately 67.3K impressions made on an average of a staggering 4807 impressions on a daily basis and over 24K profile visits.

:star: The ‘Republic Day Meme Contest’ can be clearly chosen as the star of the week. With 83 entries, the community has really shown their excitement by engaging on not just the Twitter handle, but also on the Telegram group where the entries were shared for peer feedback. After shortlisting the entries, the Top 3 memes were chosen by a unanimous vote by the Governors. This has ensured complete transparency in the rewarding mechanism.

:star: The Telegram community continues to grow with 121 members and only in the first few hours if the 1st of February, approximately 2326 messages exchanged in the group. And we may add, the conversations were focused on how the Indian Crypto community is receptive towards Harmony and the inclusion of cryptocurrency in the latest budget proposals being brought forward by the Indian Government. The engagement is insightful, light-hearted yet informative. The DAO team is planned to bring in more engagement by organizing spiffs for the most active users, the highest contributors in terms of perception building for Harmony, etc.

In order to streamline its work, the team has constantly been updating the time-sheets and the maker-checker concept (two members in each unit) has ensured that accountability is readily verified and the work that is being done is vetted for any errors that may inadvertently creep in. The synergy in which the team is working is absolutely phenomenal. As the Lead Governor, I can say that it is a pleasure to work with an organized, responsible and innovative team.

We at Harmony India DAO are extremely optimistic regarding the upcoming weeks as we intend to engage the community by organizing virtual meet-ups, giveaway events and other engagement events for our Twitter and Telegram communities.

All regional daos are doing a great job by implementing mandates and deliverables set in accordance to Join #ONE of Our Regional DAOs

Since 2021 we’ve grown a lot and currently, we count numbers of regional daos approved. More are coming I believe.

Talking to many governors of regional daos we came up with the need to have weekly/bi-weekly sync calls where we will be able to share updates, experience and progress with the delivered tasks.

Let’s unite together and start Regional DAO All-hands calls!

What we need to do that is simple! let’s assign day of the week and time that will cover all of us.


Regional DAO Governor,

Week 3 has brought in a catalyst of engagement for the Harmony India DAO community. With the launch of our flagship, ‘The Star Harmonaut’ program, we have taken the performance of Harmony India DAO a step ahead.

More than a 100 new Harmonauts joining us on TG and more than 50 followers on Twitter in the first two days of the program says it all. The motto of the program is “Engage, Educate and Earn” which has helped us in gaining sustained organic growth and is the foundation for building a community that is engaged meaningfully even in the absence of an incentivized growth program.

The ‘Star Harmonaut’ program is scheduled to run for the month of February and the participants would be judged on the following three factors:
:point_right: Meaningful Telegram engagement
:point_right: Twitter content posting
:point_right: Telegram referral program – Individualized links have been shared to track the number of referrals by individual community members.

To say the least, it was a scintillating 3rd week for the Governing team as it has been given a new spirit of life seeing the increased growth than in the past two weeks. Given below are some of the major activities that have taken place in the 3rd week.
With a clearly charted path, Priyank the Lead Governor shared the thought process to be adopted in developing frameworks aimed at community engagement, referral programs, community earning schemes,etc.

:star: To ensure that the community stays engaged and is educating its other members regarding Harmony’s current salient features and the chosen path for the future, we had announced the ‘Star Harmonaut – Infographic Contest’ on the 8th of February. In just a few hours of its launch, the contest has gathered quite a big momentum owing to the fact that this was one of the most discussed topics during the Harmony India DAO’s community call. The people have really shown an interest in the betterment of the community.

:star: As has been witnessed earlier, the best way to engage with the community is to get a temperature check and to understand their feedback towards the programs being run. The Governors held a 90-minute-long community call and discussed various topics like rewards structure, what separates Harmony from other blockchains and an interesting discussion regarding the sharding techniques, the number of shards that are currently operational and the reason Harmony has the lowest transaction fees among other blockchains. At its highest, we had more than 20 members active on call!

:star: The Harmony India DAO Twitter handle has been able to gather more than 123k impressions with unique, well-described and depicted posts that are creating a model for the community to follow in engagement activities. What we are happy about is that we’ve had a massive 34.6k profile visits. With 329 Twitter followers, we are on the path to achieve the first month’s target of up to 500 followers. We have also posted 81 tweets in the past 3 weeks regarding Harmony’s latest endeavors, the most current on-goings at Harmony India DAO and most importantly, the stellar Star Harmonaut program.

:star: We are extremely happy to state that approximately 35% of the TG community members are active and contribute to the exchange of information which shows that the growth is absolutely organic and is an indication of the progress. The team has planned multiple growth and engagement programs that would not only increase interaction in the community but will also serve as a push in the momentum for reaching our monthly target of 500 members. We presently have 327 members in the Telegram group.

:star: The mandate of translating documents on open.harmony.one into the regional language ‘Hindi’ is presently underway and would be completed within the prescribed timelines.

:star: One of the most important activities that the Governing team intends to take up is organizing/participating in hackathons leading to more awareness regarding Harmony developments.

We are on track to complete translation of harmony documentation and a hackathon is being discussed. We are optimistic and extremely excited to present the first monthly report next week and show that we stand stronger and we stand as $ONE!

Weeks 4 Report

Reaching targets and exceeding them is a good feeling especially within the stipulated time. Week 4 of Harmony India DAO’s functioning has been a major boost to the confidence of the governing team as well as the community. We proudly state that we have not just achieved our targets for Twitter and Telegram, but also exceeded them by a healthy margin.

As of end of business on the 17th of February, Harmony India DAO’s Twitter handle has gathered over 730 followers and 648 group members on the Telegram community. After a thorough analysis we have come to pinpoint as the trigger for the growth spurt is the set of activities that have been taken up by the governing team. Apart from the flagship ‘Star Harmonaut’ program, we have also recently concluded an infographics contest and our star of the week, the AMA session with Harmony Launcher. Engage, educate and earn is the motto that the team had adopted for the contests, and it turns out to be right mantra for organic and engaging growth for the community.

Given below is a detailed understanding of the activities taken up during the week 4:

:blue_heart: A planning and strategizing call led by the Lead Governor brought about an exchange of ideas amongst the team members and the governing team responded by being available in the community discussions at all points of time. The governing team actively engaged the TG group members and the discussions were mainly focused on debating the salient features of the Harmony blockchain and what can be done to enhance the adoptability.
:blue_heart: The star news of the week was the increase in the number of Twitter and Telegram followers. The AMA held with representatives from Harmony Launcher was a major catalyst during which 234 questions were gathered from the Twitter handle, which is a massive number. After answering the questions Harshad and Ankit from Harmony Launcher chose the winning questions.
:blue_heart: We also concluded the Star Harmonaut Infographics contest that saw an interesting depiction of Harmony Protocol’s performance, the associated statistics and more educational content. The winners were chosen by a democratic vote by the governors a total prize pool of $100 was distributed among 5 winners.
:blue_heart: The governing team continues to ask for feedback from the community in structured as well as conversational forms and we have received some interesting feedback from the community which would be implemented in the upcoming weeks.
:blue_heart: The Harmony India DAO Twitter handle has gathered approximately 38.8k impressions in the past 7 days i.e. at approximately 5.5k impressions on a daily basis. Now this is phenomenal considering the fact that we have already achieved the targets for the entire month. The content posted by Harmony India DAO have gathered a lot of traction with 634 mentions and more than 1200 likes.

:blue_heart: We are extremely happy to state that approximately 67.59% out of the 638 members of the TG community are active and are highly engaged in the discussions that are taking place. Organic – That is the right and only way to grow.
Harmony India DAO has partnered with the prestigious Army Institute of Pune to sponsor their prestigious Innerve 6.0, a hackathon that provides the most brilliant and brightest students with a platform for sharing their ideas and technical expertise.

The Lead Governor ensures to verify all the time sheets that are being updated by the Governors. This is an added step that we take to ensure that there is no malpractice that escapes notice and that the governors are accountable for their performance. We look forward to sharing the monthly performance report shortly and showcase the achievements of our mandates.

Hello, @Priyank_Gupta

Regional DAO’s have been some of the best performing DAO’s on Harmony. I believe this is due to the payment structure. Funding for Regional DAO’s is retroactive. The DAO receives compensation once a milestone has been achieved, a funding request has been submitted, and the request has been approved.

Developer Training is not in the initial deliverables for Regional DAO’s. I would love to hear more about this though.

Thank you for all the hard work.

Hello @frwrdslosh
We mentioned the Developer Training Program in our initial proposal too and thus segregated our payment structure in three parts for the three months.

Our first month was to focus on the organic growth of community and thus we asked for the funding of our working and some of the Regional DAO mandates as suggested by you.

The second month of working includes the Developer Training Program for our community and other incentives like Virtual Community Meet-up, Twitter Spaces and further growth of Community for which we have asked the said funding.

The Harmony India DAO’s proposed Developer Training program is a 3 step process that is aimed at bringing in new developers from the Indian community onboard and ensuring that they are well-versed with the tools Harmony has to offer for development

Step 1: Initial solicitation of developers for coming onboard the Harmony India DAO’s orientation process. The solicitation and preliminary discussions can be taken up in the form of basic and ground level developer knowledge testing.

Step 2: Organizing Orientation Workshops for Developers. Leveraging the in-house technical expertise of the Governing team at Harmony India DAO, we aim to familiarize the Indian developer community with the tools that are offered by Harmony for developmental activities. This orientation session would be based more on the lines of understanding the tools that would be best-suited to each individual developer that has been onboarded.

Step 3: The ultimate aim of the Developer training program is to onboard Indian developers on the Zero Knowledge University. The activities taken above would ensure that we are able to provide the Indian developers with the right motivation and meaning for taking up courses on the Zero Knowledge University and to ensure that they are able to implement the learnings in a meaningful way and are focused towards contributing to the developing of the Harmony ecosystem.

Hello @frwrdslosh

Completed Second Milestone.

1ST WEEK OF THE 2ND MONTH OF EXISTENCE OF HARMONY INDIA DAO

Well, what can we say apart from using adjectives like exciting, happy and more confident than ever?

Right at the onset of the second month, the Harmony India has completed the Twitter target of reaching 1000 followers and we stand strong at 1347 followers. The community has been extremely well-receptive and loved the content, the activities and the give-aways that we have planned for them.

As of the 27th of February, Harmony India DAO’s Twitter handle has gathered over 1347 followers of which 436 new followers were gathered in the past week. And we stand at a healthy 603 members in our Telegram group. The Sunday-Night-Quiz for the Telegram community has been an exceptionally well-received activity and we have successfully completed 2 renditions of the same. We aim for the Sunday-Night-Quiz activity to become a main-stay of our weekly activities. What better way to kick of the week by putting in a catalyst of Engage, Educate and Earn.

At the end of February, i.e. today, we aim to wrap up the ‘Harmony India DAO’s Star Harmonaut program, a unique offering where members of the community would be rewarded based on Twitter engagement, the quality of Harmony related content posted on Twitter and their group referral statistics on Telegram. This blended way of prize-giving ensures that we are able to distribute $500 worth of $ONE to the most actively contributing individuals.

Given below is a detailed understanding of the activities taken up during the past week:

  • This week’s strategy call was focused on charting the course for the second week. Major topics of brainstorming were the engagement activities that we would be taking up for the Harmony India Community. The Lead Governor, Priyank also showed the way to enhance the organic reach of the DAO and how we would be able to increase the engagement on our TG group.

  • Cracking quiz contents by the resident showman Raghav has been immensely instrumental in bringing in the active user percentage to 84.53% of the group strength. This in itself is an ode to the motto of organic growth.

  • The community call led by Vaibhav had all the hallmarks of a well-engaged community. The community members discussed the various ways in which the prizing structure can be more conducive to spreading the reward pool in a much more impactful way. The same was reflected in the newly unveiled rewards structure during the Sunday-Night-Quiz contest.

  • The Harmony India DAO Twitter handle has gathered approximately 21.2k impressions in the past 7 days i.e., at approximately 2.9k impressions each day. Now this is phenomenal considering the fact that we have already achieved the targets for the second month as well. The content posted by Harmony India DAO have gathered a lot of traction with 659 likes and 216 retweets.
    https://twitter.com/harmonyindiaDAO/status/1498268225783566338?t=x6hT72z_af3bKUxvCEOwZA&s=19

  • During the second month, we aim to hold Harmony India DAO community meet-ups where we would be holding an introductory session regarding Harmony, the India DAO and the governors working behind the scenes.

The Lead Governor Priyank ensures to verify all the time sheets that are being updated by the Governors. This is an added step that we take to ensure that there is no malpractice that escapes notice and that the governors are accountable for their performance. We look forward to sharing the monthly performance report shortly and showcase the achievements of our mandates.
