Name

  • Journal du Coin Grant Proposal

Grant category

  • Educational and promotional material

Description

The past 5 years, as the first French speaking crypto related media in the world, we’ve been looking to join the concrete community of the main actors of the blockchain ecosystem, raising and boosting mass adoption of all the different services and projects the technology can bring on the table, like infrastructures layer 1/2/3, DeFi, NFT, and so … You may remember we already worked with the Flow project in 2021 (1 of the articles we produced is here : https://journalducoin.com/nft/plongee-au-coeur-du-phenomene-nft-flow-et-sa-croissance-insatiable-affolent-la-cryptosphere/)

Since the creation of our media, we have progressed to become the largest French-speaking crypto media by far, and we will put our skills and experience at the service of the Flow protocol to succeed in this new kind of promotion. We already have 1 million regular readers/month.

Our goal today is to become the main lever to raise the reputation and increase the Flow community among the French speaking public. To do so we have a lot to offer. The objective of this proposal is to offer Flow community the possibility to commission a full year contents package and to educate French community to Flow ecosystem in various ways and with all types of Journal du Coin contents.

Problem statement

As the blockchain technology rises in a perpetual fight between a few reliable actors and a lot of pointless projects, our main objective is to guide our community in this wild ecosystem. As we believe in your vision and project, we would like to introduce more Flow to our followers.

We have at our disposal many communication tools on various networks :

  • Social networks such as Facebook, Linkedin, Discord, Instagram ... (more than 150K subscribers)
  • Videos on platforms such as Youtube, Twitch, TikTok ... (more than 250K subscribers)
  • Newsletter with 60K readers daily
  • On top of this our website journalducoin.com with more than 1 million readers/month

That allow us to create effective strategies in the long term to impose Flow in the French-speaking countries (300 million people speak French in the world). I’m sure you can figure out how this opportunity can bring our readers community to consider Flow in terms of investment.

Proposed solution

As told before, the main objective is to introduce Flow to our community, encourage them to use your services, and join the governance of voting protocol by staking. To achieve this, we will of course implement sophisticated and highly effective long-term communication strategies through all our means of communication :

Ultimately, we can offer a full editorial coverage to Flow ecosystem. The idea is to plan the Flow promotional strategy for 1 year in direct collaboration with the team, and help our large and loyal community to become a pillar of the Flow ecosystem.

Impact

First of all, with more than one million readers per month, we are undoubtedly the most important French-speaking media for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. We have readers all around the world. We are an international team of about 20 people, and we work with many top partners/DeFiprotocols/Layers 1-2-3 ...

Moreover we have a great expertise based on several years of experience, and a huge network since we are present on all the most popular social networks (facebook/Twitter/Discord/Linkedin/Instagram ...) as well as video/podcast and streaming platforms (Youtube/Twitch/TikTok ...).

In addition we distinguish our media in a real Web3 way, becoming a validator of the Flow ecosystem, as we began to offer technical infrastructure for partners this summer. It's a very usefull tool to bring community into the governance. You can check here : https://journalducoin.com/staking/ (a lot more to come very soon). We don't include this aspect in this topic, but we're open to discuss about it.

We also launch gamified education with Galxe campaigns dedicated to partners, and we have historically organised dev meetups in France since 2016. Now, we can target devs with recurring dedicated local meetups in 5 French cities (Toulouse, Nice, Monaco, Paris, Strasbourg).

Finally, we can rely on a French-speaking community of regular readers who appreciate and trust us since many years.

Milestones and funding

As this is a long-term content delivery and community building project, we can give this example running on a 1 year schedule, where we applied a global rebate as you would be paying us an annual grant (you can check our public prices on our media kit here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ysy5e1cajfSZlWMjyoUYO-Ce18CBMy4l/view?usp=share_link

Total funding proposed: <125000> for an entire year to launch all the promotional items included in this partnership. We accept to be paid in Flow tokens.

We will also occasionally need a direct communication channel, media & technical support, press releases, visuals, exclusive announcements, opportunities to meet with executives for interviews, and all the human and logistical support you can provide us. It is possible that in order to scale up in terms of communication and promotion we will make a new request in the medium term, but we do not yet have sufficient data to estimate the amount.

Conclusion

Our purpose is to increase user literacy, development of the DeFi industry and decentralization. To give everyone who wants to understand the topic of decentralized finance and Flow products an opportunity to do it for free. We are in a long-term approach since the birth of our media. We have been able to find the means of our survival and our significant development for all these years.

Today we are building a new model that will lead to a stronger involvement of our team, but especially of our community, at the heart of the 1inch protocol. It's a virtuous circle that benefits all participants, and draws its strength from this mutual and shared benefit. Have no doubts, we will be able to sustain the whole strategy perfectly.
