GM and happy Monday!  Every week, we celebrate projects achieving meaningful milestones.  

Here are this week’s highlights from projects funded by @CeloPublicGoods, @OctantApp & @POKTnetwork.

1/ @AtlantisDAO1 (https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/atlantis-1) ~ The task was marked as completed but has been delayed until the launch of the CELO Layer 2 mainnet.

2/ @evmavericks (https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/evmavericks-doots-podcast) ~ The task was marked as completed after reallocating the Epoch 5 budget from YouTube and Twitter ads to more impactful efforts, such as word-of-mouth promotions, partnering with KiwiNews, and supporting educational and journalistic projects. 

Engagement remained steady across platforms, with YouTube streams averaging 2 viewers, Discord streams drawing an average of 11 members, and Libsyn podcasts achieving 280 downloads over 90 days, including 139 downloads for new episodes this quarter. This performance has laid the groundwork for securing notable guest appearances in the next quarter.

3/ Pokt China (https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/pokt-china) ~ In December 2024, routine management of Chinese communication channels, including Twitter, Telegram groups, and WeChat platforms, was carried out. Various content updates were published on these platforms, including weekly recaps for the Chinese community and translated threads. These activities contributed to maintaining engagement and fostering growth within the Chinese community.

4/ @NotEssential_io (https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/coral-connect-1) ~ The milestone for the Coral Connect project has been successfully completed. A partnership with the Arbitrum chain has been secured, and funding has been allocated to advance the development of a sustainable regenerative ecosystem. This initiative aims to engage multiple nurseries worldwide, enabling users globally to participate in coral regeneration through the Coral Connect platform.  

In addition, another significant milestone has been achieved for target sites in Indonesia and Palau. The Palauan sites will be developed first, with full government support and agreements finalized with ministers, state governors, landowners, and other key stakeholders. This milestone marks a pivotal step in restoring coral habitats through a pilot program designed for scalability.

5/ DeSci Asia (https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/desci-asia) ~ The Hypercert has been issued to recognize the contributions of multi-sign wallet holders to DeSci Asia in 2024. This serves as an acknowledgment of their support and involvement in the project’s success. The update highlights the team's collaborative efforts in advancing the initiative and their ongoing commitment to the growth of DeSci Asia.

6/ GreenSofa (https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/greensofa) ~ GreenSofa has introduced a new steward, @swiftevo1, who will lead the organization’s mission to support local public goods and expand its international presence. @swiftevo1 brings extensive experience in international public goods funding and has been an active contributor to initiatives like GG20 and GG21. The organization believes that Swift Evo’s global network and fundraising expertise will help secure more international funding and increase GreenSofa's visibility. 

In addition to welcoming Swift Evo, GreenSofa expressed deep gratitude to @denkeni for their exceptional leadership during the second round of funding, which supported 18 local projects and individuals. Denken’s efforts have laid a strong foundation for future growth.

Looking ahead, Swift Evo has set an ambitious goal of conducting interviews with all 18 funded projects within the quarter.
