Proposal description

Hello Dash community!

Over the past period, I have actively contributed to Dash ecosystem growth through business development, partnerships, and event support.

This work started with organizing and supporting the Dash meetup “Crypto Day” at ITMO University (https://itmo.events/events/118040), which delivered strong results in terms of attendance, engagement, and community reach. The event was actively shared across the community, you can watch video materials from the event: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t4jdYiNUD2uDgVgdkx74Ue4HWnkMg8aU?usp=sharing .
Photos from the event are also available via link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tbOVX9eIfASbz6uJmSu_aIIatmSnhA68?usp=sharing . Additional media coverage and post-releases from partner media outlets are in progress.

A key part of this work is leveraging my existing blockchain-focused community and network, which I actively use to support partnerships, distribution, and event organization. This allows me to accelerate negotiations, reach relevant audiences, and create additional visibility for Dash within the region.

I independently facilitated participation of the Dash team in Crypto Summit (https://cryptosummit.ru/en), securing multiple tickets and bringing in additional support, including an interviewer from media agency “Insight People” (https://insightpeople.ru) who conducted on-site Dash interviews. These materials will be distributed in Russian-speaking Dash channels and may be further expanded with subtitles for a broader audience.

In parallel, I contributed to Dash’s presence at the Blockchain Forum (https://blockchain.forum/en). I connected Daria Chernozub with the organizing team and helped secure a speaking slot for Mikhail Pshenichnikov at no cost.

Additionally, Dash was nominated for the award “Best Payment Solution of the Year,” which further strengthened the project’s positioning in the region.

I also initiated and supported ongoing opportunities, including securing another speaking engagement for Mikhail Pshenichnikov for the upcoming summer.

Below are the results of the previous proposal (https://www.dashcentral.org/p/Dash-at-Crypto-Day-at-ITMO-University):
  •  250 people attended the event;
  •  197 people were on-site at the peak moment.
Media Campaign:
  •  78,000 reach in Telegram;
  •  6.3M+ reach across media;
  •  More than 23 community groups and chats was involved;
  • 9 media partners

  3. Bits Media (https://bits.media/event/22-marta-v-sankt-peterburge-sostoitsya-meropriyatie-crypto-day/?sphrase_id=6903465);

  8. Solana Dev /RU (https://t.me/solana_dev_ru/76627 );
  9. Ethereum Ru (https://t.me/eth_ru/264438 ).

These activities are part of a broader effort to expand Dash’s presence through local partnerships, events, and community-driven growth.

The total budget for April is 80 Dash (~2,450 USD). 
  • 1500 - my work;
  • 700 - Mikhail Pshenichnikov attendance of Blockchain Forum. Daria Chernozub asked me to add a budget for Mikhail’s travel to Blockchain Forum as a speaker.
  • 250 -  an interviewer + videomaking from Blockchain Forum.
Going forward, I aim to continue contributing to Dash ecosystem development through business development, partnerships, and event representation. I am open to increasing my level of involvement and taking on additional responsibility within the ecosystem.

This proposal, same as the many dozens of similar previous proposals, will do nothing to help global adoption or price. The greatest and most effective marketing is a rising price and high rank.

Vote for my proposal which will lock up another ~580,000 dash in masternode collateral, greatly reducing monthly selling pressure, make dash a better investment and store of value, all of which will improve price, rank, and global adoption.

Thank you for sharing your perspective — I understand the logic behind reducing selling pressure and trying to support the price.

However, price growth in the long term is usually a result of real adoption, not the cause of it. Locking up 580,000 Dash may reduce circulating supply, but it does not create new users, merchants, integrations, or transaction activity. Without increasing real demand for the network, supply-side measures alone are unlikely to have a sustainable impact.

The goal of proposals like this one is to build demand: partnerships, business development, events, and community growth. These are the things that ultimately lead to more usage of Dash — and over time, that is what supports price and market rank in a sustainable way.
