Hi Horizen Community
Glad to finally push out my candidacy for the Horizen DAO special council…
I am Emmanuel Umoh, known as Nhuel on discord and X, relating to my educational background, I hold a degree in Marketing…. Worked as a marketing associate for a few web2 companies, then transitioned to web3…
Horizen has been going through transition to make the ecosystem and tech much better for the crypto market at large. Lots of things are beginning to change for the better, especially trying to set up the DAO for more efficient results in the future…
My Path After Uncovering Cryptos and ZEN
I can’t talk about my journey in discovering crypto without mentioning my university days, I discovered the world of crypto through a friend who got me into crypto trading in 2019 while in the university… fast-forward after a year, I started exploring more about web3, joined several DAOs and communities… From this exposure I learnt web3 content marketing as a skill and had the opportunity to have worked for several web3 firms as a content marketer on X and KOL
I discovered Horizen in 2021, became a committed community member in 2022 and surge up to becoming an ambassador for Horizen…
Things I did as an ambassador;
- Wrote articles, contents, threads and X and LinkedIn…
- Represented Horizen at some web3 and tech conferences, had the privilege to at one of the events of 1700+ attendees; https://x.com/crypnhuel/status/1774109523600408971?s=46
- Provide Community support to new members of the Horizen Community
- Hosted Community engagement campaigns; Quizzes on Discord , etc
Personally having been in the Horizen community for some years I love ZEN because it is an OG token, there is a legacy behind it… I know this because of people that engage on my contents on X, a lot of them are OG holders of ZEN…
What to do with zen;
I would start by saying I really do love the company structure and also the DAO, especially the concept of ZenIPs, allowing the community to have a say in decision making…
Relating to this question; “How do you think the Treasury should prioritize the spending of ZEN after the migration?”
As someone passionate about marketing, here’s what I’d suggest:
- Focus on initiatives that drive sustainable returns for both ZEN staking and ecosystem growth.
- Prioritize strategic marketing to boost awareness and adoption, especially in Web3. Educational content, partnerships with influential builders, and community-led initiatives can solidify Horizen’s position. I suggest connecting with renowned KOL managers in the web3 space.
- Allocate ZEN to incentivize builders and developers through grants, hackathons, or accelerator programs. (ZkVerify is a great example of this in action)…. A vibrant ecosystem will attract users, validators, and more stakers, creating a growth flywheel.
- I suggest global expansions, relating to more adoption, a strategic plan for Horizen regional communities, bringing capable regional leads from various regions.
- Not forgetting this key point…Keep a portion of the Treasury as a buffer for market volatility, infrastructure upgrades, or unexpected opportunities.
With these suggestions, I believe it is always up to the community to decide as a DAO-driven company.
There is a required number of ZEN to push out my candidacy, I don’t have the required number of ZEN, for this reason I need your support in delegating your ZEN to me… please let me know if you’re ready to support me…
Let’s vote for the future, thanks for reading… I hope it not too long
