Proposal description

Hello Dash community!

Over the past month, I have initiated and launched activities aimed at partnerships, local events, and community-driven growth in CIS region:
  • I secured a free speaker slot for Mikhail Pshenmic at OMNIVERSE WEB3 CAMP conference in July 25-26  for 3,000 attendees: https://partnership.web3fest.org.
  • I’ve launched a negotiation process regarding Dash integration into Hot Wallet (https://hot-labs.org/wallet/ ) / HEVN (https://gethevn.com/). This will allow to increase Dash’s NEAR Intents trading volume. Joel and Daria involved in the negotiating process. We are awaiting a response from our partner regarding potential integration formats and terms.
  • Agreement was reached for online broadcasts (AMA) in partner channels with 8lends (https://x.com/eightlends ). Now discussing with Joel time and date for the broadcast.
  • I’ve started partnership with 8Blocks project (https://tokenomika.ru, https://t.me/eightblocksio8 ). Daria secured Russian-speaking online meetup with this partner and I attracted them as speaker to a crypto meetup within a trading tournament in ITMO University on 24 of May, where Dash will be also provided as partner and have a speaker slot. 
 Also in April, I secured the attendance of the Dash team in the largest crypto and web3 event in Eastern Europe and CIS - Blockchain Forum 2026, which was a big part of my April proposal.
The team consisted of Mikhail Pshenichnikov (@pshenmic), myself, Voncan, Ermakov and two correspondents who interviewed the guests and experts (video currently in post-production and will be released soon). 
Photos from the event.

Mikhail represented Dash as a speaker: https://youtu.be/k2nQeyli4lI .
And I managed an interview to one of the largest crypto media - Cointelegraph: https://youtu.be/jCUZxmmcGYY?t=307.
I also held multiple meetings with potential integration partners, infrastructure providers, exchanges, payment platforms and Web3 teams at main and side events. Current status of negotiation process presented HERE .
As a result: new collaborations and integrations, wait for upcoming announcements. The full report on Dash’s participation in the Blockchain Forum presented HERE. I thank the entire Dash team: Mikhail, Voncan, Ermakov, our correspondents for their participation!
__________________________________

As part of my work for May, the following activities will be carried out:

1. Working with partners for the new integrations (BizDev) and Dash media partnerships with Russian-speaking and international projects.
The current list of partners and negotiation statuses can be viewed in the table. Daria (Web3Daria) and Joel (TheDesertLynx) are also participating in both processes, and I thank them for their help. I will update the table live and add new partners there so the current status can be tracked.

2. Integration of Dash as a partner with a speaker slot as part of a sports trading tournament at ITMO University (presentation + venue branding + giveaway organization). The goal is to expand Dash's presence in the web3 community and consistently engage the ITMO University audience, one of the world's largest IT universities in the life of the Dash community.

3. Organization of Dash Ru Talks
I’m now organizing broadcasts with Mikhail @pshenmic and invited experts from Web3 projects to expand Dash’s presence in the media space and create new partnerships and integrations within the Russian-speaking space. The first broadcast took place on May 7 and was dedicated to the recent hackathon in Malaysia -
The next broadcast is planned for the third week of May.
_________________________
During May, I will also participate in other activities of the project promotion team as needed.
Overall, I plan to further develop the project's media presence and increase partnerships through business development with such partners as developer infrastructure, wallets, merchant acquiring.

Total proposal budget 63 Dash:
49 – My work.

This will accomplish nothing, same as all the similar proposals before it. We must fix the bad tokenomics before people are willing to hold dash.

Tokenomics absolutely matters, and improving it is important for Dash long-term. But waiting for a perfect economic model before growing integrations, partnerships, and visibility creates a deadlock.
Adoption and utility are part of the equation too - network value grows through real use cases, users, and ecosystem expansion, not tokenomics alone
