Proposal: Messari Protocol Services, Quarterly Research Renewal (2025)

Hi @Tomm — our partnership with YAP Global is new, so the fruits of that partnership should be born throughout 2025 and beyond.

As for the contract, given the feedback here and the strong interest from the community in ensuring this is a strategic relationship for Venus moving forward, we have added two complimentary elements into the service agreement:

  1. Added a complimentary co-hosted Twitter space, where your community can get on a Twitter space with the Venus research analyst — Mohamed — and discuss reports, plus allow him to better engage directly with community members. This would be in addition to the podcast opportunity for the Venus team.

  2. Also given the spirited engagement here, we have added a 15% discount code for Messari Pro subscriptions to Venus community members. We believe in our platform, and feel that the community will benefit from it should they engage with it.

That language is reflected in the updated contract document. We hope this gesture expresses how important community engagement is to our team, and that getting this partnership right into 2025 is important to us.

Thanks everyone for your feedback :pray:t2:

I also disagree… a lot of money, late reports, and does it really helps atm? Community does not all understand data analysis, neither access the info. By the way, this money should be used to rebuy XVS wich has been falling into peaces for years

And in fact, it doesnt even accomplish the objective to be seen. Spend it in a decent GML.
