Welcome!

Hello Dash community,

I would like to present a pre-proposal for a 1-month Russian-language educational media initiative focused on Dash, with a requested budget of $4,000.
Who we are​Pro Blockchain Media is a crypto-native media company with 10 years of experience covering blockchain, digital assets, and Web3 for Russian-speaking audiences. Over the years, we have built a large and highly engaged audience across YouTube, Telegram, livestreams, and other social media formats.

Today, our total audience across all social platforms exceeds 500,000 followers, and our media ecosystem generates more than 2 million impressions per month.

We have worked with major industry participants and have experience translating complex crypto topics into content that is accessible to wider audiences. Over the years, we have also hosted well-known industry figures such as Roger Ver, CZ, and representatives from the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem, among many others. Examples of our long-form content can be found here:

Main channels:

• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PROBLOCKCHAIN
• Telegram: https://t.me/Pro_Blockchain

Our role in this proposal is not to run a generic advertising campaign, but to create localized educational content that helps more Russian-speaking users better understand Dash and its role in digital payments.

Why this proposal​In Russian-speaking crypto markets, awareness of Dash exists, but deeper understanding is limited. Many users are familiar with the name, but do not clearly understand:

• what makes Dash different from other cryptocurrencies
• how Dash fits into the digital payments landscape
• why Dash remains relevant as a practical digital cash solution
• how Dash can be understood by mainstream crypto users beyond technical circles

We believe there is room for a focused educational initiative that presents Dash in a clear, accessible, and practical way for Russian-speaking audiences.
What we propose​This is a 1-month pilot educational initiative.
The requested budget is $4,000.

Within this pilot month, we will produce:

• 1 educational long-form video or podcast focused on Dash
• at least 4 educational Telegram posts across our media ecosystem
• Dash logo placement for 30 days on our livestreams

The goal is to create public-facing, Russian-language educational materials that explain Dash in a simple and relevant format for crypto-native and crypto-curious users.

The long-form content may take the form of:

• an educational video about Dash
• or a podcast / interview focused on Dash’s value proposition, utility, and relevance

The Telegram content will focus on:

• explaining Dash in practical terms
• highlighting key educational points
• making Dash easier to understand for users unfamiliar with its current positioning
• supporting the main long-form content with simpler recurring content pieces

The 30-day logo placement on livestreams is included as part of the media execution environment and helps keep Dash visibly present during the pilot period.
Budget logic​The requested $4,000 should be understood as a team-cost budget, not as a standard commercial media package.
This amount covers:

• research
• editorial planning
• educational script and content preparation
• production
• publishing
• coordination
• reporting for the 1-month pilot

In commercial terms, the included work would normally be priced significantly higher based on our standard media formats. This proposal is intentionally structured as a low-cost pilot for the Dash ecosystem and is priced primarily to cover the work of the team rather than to generate standard commercial margin.
Previous work related to Dash​We have already taken first steps in creating educational content about Dash and have previously recorded two podcasts on our channel related to Dash:

• Dash podcast (2026): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJCXcMbGKXI
  
• Dash podcast (2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bk8-5ORKf4
  

This is one of the reasons we believe this pilot is realistic: we are not starting from zero and already have practical experience creating Dash-related content for our audience.
Why a 1-month pilot​We believe starting with a 1-month pilot is the most reasonable approach for Dash treasury:

• it keeps the budget limited
• it gives the community a chance to evaluate our execution
• it creates measurable public deliverables
• it can later be extended only if the community finds the first month useful

Deliverables​If funded, by the end of the month we will deliver:

• 1 educational Dash-focused long-form video or podcast
• minimum 4 educational Telegram posts
• 30 days of Dash logo placement on livestreams
• 1 public report summarizing completed work and links to published materials

Request for feedback​At this stage, I am sharing this as a pre-proposal and would appreciate community feedback before moving further.

In particular, feedback on the following would be helpful:

• whether the Dash community sees value in a Russian-language educational pilot
• whether the scope is appropriate for a first month
• whether the proposed deliverables are useful
• whether the budget level seems reasonable for this type of work

Thank you for your time and feedback.

Best regards,
Maxim Burkov
