New Livestream Host - Adapted Program

Background

The basis of the proposal is an older proposal from earlier this year: https://snapshot.org/#/unlock-protocol.eth/proposal/0x061107653692aac05a3775958837a51ef142f28592e6d55274ab071270f5ad4f

We (Stella, Wonderwomancode, and CaptainSouthPaw) picked Grunkleknut from the applications submitted. Sadly, his family circumstances didn't allow him to follow through with the original plan of hosting two livestreams per month. Lucky for us, PostArchitekt (a long-standing Unlock DAO member) expressed his interest in the role, and I imagine he will do a fantastic job in it. I therefore would like to propose him for the role as initially intended.

About PostArchitekt

As the founder of Atelier | Post-Architekts (https://post-architekts.ai/) and AI consultant, he drives innovative projects between gaming and education. He is a skilled conversationalist with a consistently curious mind and a high-quality technical livestream setup. Beyond this, he has actively participated in several DAOs for the past four years, such as Orca Protocol (Metropolis) and Unlock Protocol. Previously, he was also a Lead Innovator-In-Residence at Georgia Tech, spearheading STEAM initiatives and developing gamified learning environments, showcasing an ability to deliver immersive and complex projects from concept to execution.

Benefits

The benefits are immense and keep persisting as per the original proposal:

• Increased Awareness and Adoption: By demystifying blockchain and showcasing practical uses of Unlock Protocol, the series can attract a wider audience, increasing protocol adoption and token utility.
• Community Engagement and Growth: Regularly featuring community members and partners strengthens the ecosystem and encourages more active participation and collaboration within the Unlock community.
• Educational Value: Providing valuable insights and knowledge about blockchain and Unlock Protocol empowers individuals and businesses to innovate and contributes to the growth of the broader Web3 ecosystem, moving different parts closer together.

Changes

The original proposal asked for two livestreams per month; after speaking to PostArchitekt, we are proposing one livestream per month and 4 short content/podcast-style videos that can be repurposed on multiple platforms.

Risks

There are no direct risks, as the DAO can always undo their vote with another proposal. As a long-standing Unlock DAO member and a system stakeholder, I don't see any dangers in proposing PostArchitekt for this role.

Timeline and Implementation

As he is super motivated, he has already started to work on content, so his scope would be immediate even though the proposal is not through yet.
