AktaryTech is a blockchain development service provider that builds Web3 solutions for anything clients need. Our dedicated US-based team of engineers and project managers is ready to build dApps, DeFi, bridges, trading solutions, CeFi, CEX trading solutions, and more. We’ve recently put more energy into marketing, and part of that effort involves writing blog posts: [https://AktaryTech.com/blog/](https://AktaryTech.com/blog/) * * * We are proposing to dedicate a post to the Aurora chain and ecosystem. It will be promoted along with our other projects, including [Shardeez.com](https://Shardeez.com) which is an NFT in an [Aurora Marketplace](https://app.3six9.space). Our client engagement is wide in crypto, and these posts are likely to be read by the right target audience that has the ability to deploy dApps to new chains. The post will cover all aspects of Aurora with a focus on how people can bring their NFTs, dApps and Assets from other EVMs. Also about how AktaryTech can help teams build and launch on Aurora. Please read some of our past articles for the depth and writing quality that we have: - [Did You Get NFT Storage Right Or Are Your Users Buying Only Metadata?](https://aktarytech.com/did-you-get-nft-storage-right-or-are-your-users-buying-only-metadata/) - [Getting Started With Solidity Smart Contracts](https://aktarytech.com/getting-started-with-solidity-smart-contracts/) - [Cross-Chain vs. Multi-Chain vs. Omnichain: A Pointless Debate? - Blockchain Development Services](https://aktarytech.com/cross-chain-vs-multi-chain-vs-omnichain-the-pointless-debate/) * * * We strategically use keywords for search engine optimization of our blog and website. You can see here how we are the #1 result, with a featured snippet, for a google search of “cross-chain bridge developers”. ![Screen Shot 2022-07-19 at 4.48.57 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aurora/original/1X/5484004a8ec780fdcb31eb440b8743b30cf644a0.jpeg) Our site gets ~1,000 active monthly users, with 67% of traffic US-based and Web3 targeted. We’ve recently hired a new Head of Marketing who will continue to grow these metrics. * * * Amount requested: **$1500** USD in AURORA Timeline to Completion: 3-4 weeks NEAR Wallet: shardeez.near Thank you for reading the proposal. Consider working with AktaryTech in helping promote Aurora within blockchain communities. ---

Hey @ell thanks for your response. I think a 2-part series would cover it. First, all about Aurora as a chain, how it will scale with NEAR Sharding, how the accounts and smart contracts work, and network activity. Then second, about the ecosystem–Aurora Plus, DeFi, NFTs, an overview of what’s available vs. what still needs to be built and how to get started on that. Obviously we’ll promote from inside, but our research and writing quality will make these great resources to share from your side too. ---

Any feedback about why the proposal failed would be appreciated.
