- Overview
Whilst March was about Marketing, and April was about Community engagement via competitions, the month of May the focus has been about the Monks Collaborate NFT collection. We quickly realized with overall market sentiment being low, spending funds on marketing wouldn’t be the most optimal use of community funds. Furthermore, trying to spur community engagement in the current market conditions was not the easiest. So we decided the month of May will be used to create value for being a Monks Create NFT holder. We wanted to create a campaign around being an monks create NFT holder and the value it will bring to a holder.
Most of the work that was carried out for the month of May was in areas of growing the NFT collaborate collection and growing the Monks Create holders with a campaign around it which will help with community engagement and bring community members to Omm in the months ahead. We feel we have achieved that in the month of May where we have grown the Monks collaborate collection to 24 NFTs and we have given away 14 monks create NFTs.
56321 OMM tokens were spent on monks collaborate NFTs, engagement competitions and tipping community members in the month of May.
- NFT Collection
In May we revealed 5 new Monks Collaborate NFT’s via daily tweets, spotlighting the NFT’s and the collections of the collaboration creators.
The Monks also took part in minting Claws and Yeti’s (YTSC) during pre/public sales. These NFT’s will also be raffled to Monks Create NFT holders, as per planned Monks Collaborate NFT’s distribution.
Both events have attracted attention and many have asked how to obtain Monks Create NFT’s. The Omm discord has hereby seen many new faces join.
The Monks have announced the first raffle will be held on Eye on Icon, the premium ICON news media, for highest visibility. Other raffles will be held both during Monks Academy sessions and Eye on ICON episodes.
June will be an exciting month for Monks Create NFT holders with several raffles kicking off the long awaited distribution of our NFT collection.
- Community Engagement Events
Monks Academy Episodes
We conducted three Monks academy episodes for the month of May.
We had approximately 10 to 12 participants per session for each live session and the engagement was extremely good. With our last live session having on average around 30 participants listening in, with 50 people at its peak.
The first for the month of May was on stablecoins, where we even spoke about $UST and whether it would cause the collapse of LUNA days before it actually did.
On the next Monks academy episode the topic of discussion was bOMM testnet:
The focus for May is to have learning episodes focused on stablecoins in preparation for ICON Bridge and also on Boosted OMM.
Quiz competition
We launched engagement via our weekly monks quiz competition giving away Common monks NFTs. On average we have been having around 50 people participating in the quizzes.
- Conclusion
We spent 56,321 OMM tokens for the month of May bringing the total amount of OMM tokens spent/locked to 341,700 OMM over the three months, with multisig payments for June and Monks website budget yet to be spent on. OMM tokens have been spent in the areas of marketing, community engagement competitions, and NFTs.
With a treasure chest of ICON NFTs at our disposal and an engaged monastery of Monks create NFT holders and Omm Monks, we will be looking to continue the next phase of growing and creating value for the Omm community.
