Building rootstock collective community of developers and users in Ghana

Grants & Incentives
21

Hey @Oluman ,
I think we came a long way since the first version of this.
I think the values requested, actions, and KPIs are now pointing in the right direction.

I’d be ready to support milestone 1.

One thing I’d like to add. You’ll have to work hard and be diligent in delivering the KPIs you proposed in each milestone, as clearly each milestone delivery is what enables the next one. (e.g. if you don’t deliver a solid result on M1, it’ll be hard to succeed supporting 5 mini-project ideas on M2; if you don’t deliver a solid M2, it’ll be hard to launch 2 pilot projects and form 2-3 partnerships on M3). Therefore, I congratulate your drive and hope this project succeeds.

Echoing @ChronoTrigger’s points, it’s great to see the milestones updated to a level where we’re comfortable supporting the proposal, while we encourage you to diligently deliver each milestone target before asking for the grant of its next milestone. Looking forward to continuing working with you!

@Oluman We unfortunately missed the vote but are happy to see the proposal succeed :slight_smile: Appreciate you listening to the feedback and requests of delegates to slim down the scope and budget. Very much looking forward to seeing the assets that you produce for Milestone 1! Make sure to take lots of photos during your events. Wishing you all the best with your deliverables! :flexed_biceps:

Hey @Oluman , congrats on the approval of the proposal. It’s clear that you iterated based on community feedback, which is always a good sign. I wanted to clarify a couple of points before the work begins:

I see the plan includes three meetups, one in Accra, one in Kumasi, and one in Tamale, but it’s not fully clear whether these locations are already confirmed or still tentative. Could you clarify if each city is secured as a venue and whether you’ve already identified the specific spaces?

Regarding the content of the workshops and training sessions, have you defined the structure or modules? In this area, connecting with QuestHub could be a good idea, for use their structured learning paths.

There are also some relevant learnings from other recent Rootstock proposals.
For example, in the Rootstock Ecosystem Roadshow, a challenge was how to measure attendance and interactions in a verifiable way. POAP doesn’t support Rootstock at the moment, but it would be interesting to explore in the future. In the meantime, starting with a simple NFT on Rootstock as a proof of attendance could work well. At the Collective level, we should probably think about a shared standard for tracking this type of educational activity.

Another useful reference is Bitcoin Argentina, where strong social-media presence and documentation were key to demonstrating impact. Do you already have an X/Twitter account for Rootstock Ghana? That would help a lot with visibility and credibility. It might also be helpful to connect with the Rootstock Ambassadors, who are already active in other regions and could support with best practices.

Overall, the initiative is moving in a good direction; now it will be important to observe the execution of the upcoming milestones. Looking forward to the updates.

Thank you @404Gov , @Kaf_Anode and all for the warm messages and guidance — truly appreciated.
Following the community feedback during the voting stage, we realigned and reduced the events from three to two to keep the scope tight and ensure high-quality delivery.
Event Update
We are now proceeding with two confirmed meetups — both taking place in Kumasi.

Primary venue: Garden City University, Ghana Open Lab Academy.

The full details will be shared in our Milestone 1 update.

Accra and Tamale were removed as part of the adjustments made in response to community sentiments and budget considerations.

An updated proposal will be submitted on Discourse soon to formally reflect these changes.
Workshop Structure
We have finalized the training modules, focused on:

Introduction to Rootstock

Hands-on wallet onboarding

RIF tools and Rootstock-based dApps

Developer pathways and smart-contract fundamentals

We are also exploring alignment with QuestHub to enhance structure and learning flow.
Attendance Verification & Documentation
Building on learnings from previous Rootstock initiatives:

We will issue a simple NFT on Rootstock as proof of attendance until POAP support becomes available.

Documentation (photos, short videos, summaries) will be a key priority for transparency and credibility.

Visibility & Social Media
We are currently working on our new Rootstock Ghana Twitter/X page, which will serve as the central hub for updates, event coverage, and ecosystem engagement.
We also intend to connect with Rootstock Ambassadors to adopt best practices from other regions.

Thank you once again for the support and thoughtful guidance. We look forward to delivering impactful progress as Milestone 1 begins.
