Welcome!

We noticed that earlier this year, the Dash community approved a proposal for a booth at Blockchain Life, but unfortunately timing didn’t allow it to be executed. Because we already run traffic, partnerships, and media visibility for Blockchain Life itself, we can ensure that Dash not only has a presence, but scale up and get more involved people, we know how to work with traffic.
Our scope of activities is targeted to engage audiences, exchanges, and funds, how to position projects in the right context, and how to translate exposure into credibility and adoption. Here is the handy link to the plan:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZqLysFV275ydvoV1qJBtzWkX9e9M6_U2EiAhYEAtkbM/edit?usp=sharing  

We’re QuickShock Marketing & VC, a full-stack crypto marketing agency that’s been helping Web3 projects grow since 2017. Our team has worked with over 500+ projects, from top exchanges like OKX, Bybit, and MEXC, to ecosystems like TON, Polkadot, ZetaChain, 1inch and more. At Quickshock, we provide full-stack crypto marketing: strategy, KOLs, PR, paid traffic, airdrops, community building, and guerilla marketing - tailored to any growth goals. We are also very old Dash supporters, investors and contributors, supported ecosystem activities and eager to make the ecosystem louder, easier for the mass audience and gather more cool people, who will build projects and drive the ecosystem up together. Some of our team members were among the early community contributors who helped Dash gain visibility across emerging markets and blockchain events. 

We are also the team that actually powers the traffic and visibility behind the Blockchain Life conference (20k+ people, top speakers, including Pavel Durov, Tether C-level, and other notable persons https://blockchain-life.com/)., bringing thousands of qualified Web3 users, traders, founders, and institutional players to these conferences. One of our partners (Alex Khitrov) is the brother of the conference’s founder (Sergei Khitrov). For years, we’ve been directly involved in scaling the BlockchainLife global presence, helping it grow into a Top-3 blockchain conference worldwide and the #1 crypto event by attendance and trading volume across Dubai and Asia.

In other words, we don’t just attend Blockchain Life, we help build it - and you can see the results: one of the largest conferences in the world.

Our mission?
Dash is one of the oldest and most respected blockchain projects, but in recent years, its visibility hasn’t matched its real technological strength. Our mission is to change that narrative, bringing Dash back into the spotlight through conference presence, media coverage, and community activation that truly reflect the project’s value and innovation.
We propose a specific plan how to bring more people in the ecosystem to build, grow and scale. Our latest case study with TON (since early 2022 to boom in 2024) and BlockchainLife (since 2017) shows our real capabilities.

1) In-depth acticles about Dash ecosystem
Budget: 8000$
What we do?  We propose to create a full cycle of in-depth analytical articles about Dash. Important! Not PR, not ads, but real expert-level content explaining why Dash is one of the strongest and most promising ecosystems right now.
(pr are usually written without any opinion, quite generic and used for 10+ media. our goal is to make unique converting materials that will work on the ecosystem)
These articles will be written from the perspective of ecosystem contributors, builders, and technical experts, explaining how to start building inside Dash, why DAO-driven structure matters, and why Dash remains one of the few truly functional and technically advanced blockchains.
The goal here is simple - to make sure that when people (and AI models, including LLMs) look for information about Dash, they see full, positive, fact-based materials with real editor opinions and high-level analysis.
We’ll publish articles that go into detail, compare Dash with other ecosystems, and show why it’s more stable, more efficient, and actually used by real communities. These won’t be labeled as “sponsored” pieces, they’ll look like independent research materials, covering Dash among top ecosystems
 
Why it's important for DASH:
1. Visibility in AI & search. Dash articles will rank high by key queries like “best DAO ecosystems”, “top privacy coins”, “strongest blockchain tech”, etc. They’ll be indexed and cited, which means they will be seen by both users and AI systems that read and summarize web data.
2. Organic exposure. Our articles will be picked up in thematic collections and reposted across partner platforms, giving Dash organic visibility without paid media.
3. Higher reputation scores. When DASH ecosystem is mentioned in long analytical reviews instead of pure promo, it builds credibility and helps form a consistent positive footprint online.
4. Scalable effect. Once we launch traffic or retargeting on top (for example, via VK, Telegram Ads, Yandex Ads), we can push these materials further, generating look-alike audiences of builders, traders, and crypto enthusiasts who actually engage.

2) LLM & AI Visibility to bring Dash to the top of AI results
Budget: $5000
What we do?  LLM & AI Visibility to bring Dash to the top of AI results
Right now, when you ask ChatGPT or other LLMs about “top anonymous or privacy-focused blockchains”, Dash is often mentioned below Monero or Zcash. It’s a reflection of outdated data and missing ecosystem visibility in AI models/ and also lack of articles/media/unbiased materials with opinion we wrote about above.
We know exactly how to fix that. We work through the real data sources that feed AI models: forums, verified media, SEO blogs, Twitter mentions, and knowledge graphs. By optimizing these, we can shape how AI interprets and describes Dash. Our team has already developed and successfully executed the LLM visibility optimization framework, a working system that pushes projects into top results of AI models like ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini. We’ve already tested it and it works.
For example, ascn.ai reached the top of Grok's search results in just a couple of days. The key was to correctly configure the interaction between sources and get the result (screenshots):
- https://prnt.sc/hOJnuQ5at9qY 
- https://prnt.sc/TkGdFKl7Ygaw 
- https://prnt.sc/uXMCwigkgfRf 
Example of arbitragescanner - https://prnt.sc/XSZ57c7pipIB, similarly, a complex niche, but they brought it to the top of the search results in different languages, reaching 1st place. 
When users ask “Which privacy coin should I buy?” or “Top DAO ecosystems 2025,” AI outputs define perception. If Dash has some 'but...', it loses visibility for builders, investors, and new users before they even reach the official site. If we play with other requests, there is a minor problem, AI answers that 'privacy level is worse that Monero/ZCash'. And via articles we show it's not true and Dash is better = better AI ranking https://prnt.sc/0FX-mKtRTSnp 
The goal is to make every AI model recognizes Dash as a leading, DAO-driven, privacy-enhanced blockchain, and that articles and expert opinions consistently confirm it. And finally build the narrative: Dash offers more utility, better governance, and stronger real-world adoption.
What is included in our work:
- Source analysis (team + software): several specialists connect and build a comprehensive picture of the ecosystem.
- Action plan formation: we create a detailed list of sources and specific next steps for implementation.
- Target query mapping: we define key phrases and topics to target and optimize for.
- Сontent creation and placement in AI training sources (detailed below).
- Optimization of source interactions for maximum effect.
- Continuous monitoring of AI output results (Grok, ChatGPT).

3)  Shilling on Twitter to create more buzz and visibility, onboard people (all in one funnel)      
Budget: $5000
What we do? Shilling on Twitter to create more buzz and visibility, onboard people (all in one funnel)
The goal for Twitter (X) is similar, we need to generate as many positive mentions and discussions around Dash as possible, so that both search engines and AI models (ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, etc.) continuously see Dash in a strong, active context. When AI systems analyze market sentiment, they look at the frequency, tone, and engagement of mentions across major platforms and Twitter is one of the key data sources. That’s why we focus not just on posting, but on building a consistent wave of organic and semi-viral discussions that position Dash as a living, evolving ecosystem.
How does it work?
A root comment from a verified (bluemark) account + 2 supporting comments + project tag + likes. All comments are fully native and seamlessly fit into the context of the original post. We use high-quality, well-developed Twitter accounts with audiences ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 followers. Each main comment is further boosted by 2 - 3 additional replies to push it to the top and maximize visibility.
This format delivers 2 - 3x, sometimes up to 5x more impressions compared to standard commenting. On average, one comment generates around 250 views (on external posts), but the reach can range from 10 to 2,000 views - in some cases, reaching 70,000 to 150,000 impressions per comment.
The shilling team influences Twitter’s algorithms and leverages them to promote your posts within the target audience’s feed, creating a more positive sentiment through their accounts.
THEN
we can also launch raids to boost awareness and grow the community.
For this, we post root comments from Bluemark accounts with project tags, supported by 2 - 3 additional comments to increase visibility.
We use advanced Twitter accounts (1K - 5K followers) to keep engagement organic.
Here is how it looks like:

https://x.com/Kamleshmandal10/status/1886127091973824826 
In short: more good content = better perception = stronger visibility in both human and AI-driven ecosystems

4) Organic articles with editorial opinion 
Budget: $5000
What we do?   Same with media outlets. A super important point: many editors today use AI to write articles about projects like yours. These ratings and reviews are automatically generated based on information pulled from search engines, forums, and popular online sources. If all available information about you is positive and you’re ranked high, the system will automatically surface favorable content, articles that recommend your platform and contain no negativity. As a result, you end up with a package of positive materials consistently working in your favor.
However, if there’s negative feedback in those sources, AI-generated SEO articles will also include it, writing that the exchange has issues or is “not recommended.” If you implement the fixes we suggest, everything will look positive, and AI agents/authors will start generating favorable content about you, meaning that when users ask about reviews, your project will be recommended in a good light, without negativity.
Here are also examples of media resources we use to enhance DASH visibility (in many of them you can find Dash, we can push to a higher place):

5)  Private DAO activations and closed communities
Budget: $5000
What we do?  We also work through private DAO communities and closed investment circles/builders/web3 dev groups where decisions are made, ideas are validated, and builders, fund managers, and early investors actually listen. These are not public chats; these are high-trust environments where new opportunities are shared quietly but move fast.
Case: Participation in the Pre-sale of TIM DAO + S.HIT DAO (for a Solana-related token)
Niche: Web3 / DAO
Goal: To raise funds through a closed private sale.
What we did:
- Offered to participate in the token investment round as part of the TIM DAO + S.HIT DAO formation
- Attracted 40+ participants through direct communication
- Ensured a high average check, as one of the top participants said he would throw in 200 SOL and did it (wallet is public)
Results:
- SOL during the presale period ~$180
- Total raise: $150,000 - $250,000
- Largest contribution: 400 SOL (~$72,000)
- Other contributions: 30-200 SOL ( there may have been smaller amounts )
- Participants: 40+ people
Budget: 15k$ for 4 DAOs, the results you see above.
------
Why it works
We promote projects inside closed DAO environments without direct advertising. Instead, we use trusted insiders, contributors, and opinion leaders who create organic discussions around a project, no banners, no paid posts, just conversation and genuine curiosity. Up to 50% of the audience in these DAOs consists of alpha players, early investors, and builders.
When an idea catches fire there, it spreads naturally. Yes, slower at first, but with a stronger and longer-lasting effect.
The result:
1. Genuine interest, organic reach, and support from thought leaders.
2. We create an environment where people talk about the project sincerely - no paid traffic, no pressure, just real engagement and interest from the audience. This is where we can onboard more large contributors on-board.

6)  KOL reviews / YouTube ambassadors who will cover DASH ecosystem
Budget: $10000
What we do?  Right now, there are almost no high-quality video reviews about Dash or its technology. When users search for “Dash review,” “Dash privacy coin,” or “Dash DAO explained,” they mostly find outdated materials from years ago. This creates a big visibility gap for the community and for AI/SEO models that rely on recent content to determine credibility.
Our goal here is to fill this gap with 5-6 strong KOL reviews that explain why Dash is still one of the most undervalued and technically advanced projects in crypto today.
What we do
We select and buy placements from mid-tier YouTube channels with real engagement (10–100k audience range). These are channels that cover blockchain projects, trading tools, and tech innovations. Each video will follow a specific narrative structure:
1. Introduction - market context. We explain the current state of the blockchain landscape and the renewed interest in DAO-driven ecosystems and privacy tools... Also make a hook that market is crashing, many ecosystems are without any community, no builders, etc. And here is time to talk about DASH
2. The reviewer covers how Dash works, what makes its consensus model and DAO governance unique, and why it’s technically stronger than competitors. Shows how it works, why it's a hidden gem, ecosystem for years and will keep growing
3. Then also show real integrations, utility, and examples from merchants, communities, and ongoing development.
4. Throughout the whole video we empathise on 'Why Dash remains a relevant, long-term ecosystem with real infrastructure', and the grow is an essential thing, not just pump/hype. Influencer content remains the most trust-building layer in crypto marketing, it humanizes technology and gives it voice, this is our goal.
⸻
Here are some examples of Ripple ecosystem. You can see they bought out 100+ YouTubers, all simultanously, same narrative. Not only to create buy pressure, but branding and onboard more people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Ast0fgJeM 
Narrative is the same: sell all crypto, market is crashing, buy XRP. And boom - it works! They do even buy out channels to work on branding. So it's an extremely powerful resource to use. After we make the videos, It will close the content gap, reframe perception, and activate new traffic into the ecosystem through a clean, measurable funnel.
