Both Gnars and Skatehive are web 3 communities building their dreams on the blockchain.

Gnars via their DAO, are funding extreme athletes (skateboarders included) and Skatehive, via their content creation community on Hive, are educating skateboarders worldwide on how to monetize their content in an un-censorable environment.

• Some of Skatehive's self-funded achievements: Online Games of S.K.A.T.E, giveaways, rewards for contests, events, helping skaters buy new equipment!

Skatehive has been around since late 2017 early 2018 and our primary focus is onboarding skateboarders to web 3 the easiest way, educating them about blockchain and partnering up with various projects so we can make more blockchain tools available to the skateboarding community.

Our decentralized ethos can't be questioned since we're building our community with commitment and passion for almost 5 years, surviving bear markets and rewarding skateboarders with hundreds of dollars weekly thanks to the trust we've earned as a community on Hive blockchain!

We at Skatehive believe Gnars is showing the same Web 3 ethos and after various talks Skatehive Council (knowhow92,web-gnar,howdarylroll,vlad) decided to draft this proposal so we can start bridging those 2 communities together.

SKATEHIVE Proposal to GNARS

Decentralized Sponsorship

This model is another disruption of the traditional sponsorhip model. Instead of supporting one skater at a time we are going to use blockchain power to support a network of skaters by dPoS curatorship.

GNARS INJECTION

Gnars account on Hive buy 3 ETH worth of Hive, stake them and vote on skateboarding posts inside Skatehive community.

Thanks to Hive's tokenomics, no Hive tokens leave the Gnars wallet when it's account upvotes skate content. Hive token rewards are coming from the Hive "Rewards Pool", a pool filled daily with newly minted Hive. The more Hive Power(staked Hive) a user has in their wallet, the more Hive tokens they can "take" from the Hive Reward Pool and give to posts they upvote.

As discussed in Discord Forum we are going to ask 3 ETH for swapping for HIVE.

3 ETH ~ 10000 Hive ~ $0.20/vote

Votes might look small compared to the initial investment but the more votes Gnars account gives to content the more returns it gets thanks to Hive tokenomics.

Using the price of Hive at 0.36, Hive's current token supply, as well as the average of curation rewards over time, we'd say Gnars account can get between 5.574% and 7.353% APR depending if we look at the last 30 days during the bear, or the last 138 days.

This doesn't include price changes, or the fact that HP is actually compounding as Gnars account receives curation rewards. Or the 3% paid out in interest to HP holders nor the author rewards from Gnars account posts which would actually make the apr, or apy much higher, but we admittedly just don't know how to calculate that.

An average estimation would be around 10-11% APR for an initial 3 ETH investment. Keep in mind that those Hive will never leave Gnars hive account wallet and they just keep giving, to both the community and Gnars wallet.

Knowhow92 can take care of posting from Gnars account on Hive as well as curating skateboarding/extreme sports content.

Additinal Benefits

• Gnars can support athletes without spending money from the treasury. Not everyone can be sponsored, but using curation we can support as many athletes as we want, while also empowering athletes to support each other as a community.
• Incentivizing grassrooots marketing, by monetizing content creation from all community members. What could be better marketing, then everyone being rewarded for their efforts, and leading by example.
• Community ownership: Everyone has a sense of having skin in the game, which encourages better community behavour. Also, no one can take what we've built away from us, if we end up ruffling feathers in the big tech social media monopoly.
• Expandable model for the future of all sports communities. Example: Surfers can post in SurfHive and also get curated by Gnars and Skatehive Upvote
• Gnars partnership mention in "The Weekly Stoken" Newsletter 📰
• It's social media without all the bullshit 🍻
• Create a Weekly Curation Report from Gnars account. 75% of post rewards goes to Gnars account and 25% to @skatehive.

Win-Win

Skatehive wants to be the social aspect of Gnars, a place where GNARly skateboarders share their content and earn crypto for doing so and also ensures that Gnars is not just present in web2 but also lives the web3 social media, making the community more decentralized in this aspect

We will provide Gnars fam with Skatehive guides on how to create Hive accounts, subscribe to Skatehive and start posting as well as 24h support in our Discord if they need any help.

This is how many Hive tokens Gnars account has in its wallet with 0 investment and 6 posts.
