Representatives of **Aurora Hunters** have crypto enthusiasts, who are able to navigate deeply enough in the usefulness of the projects in order, both in the testnet and mainnet period. It will bring clarity about the performance of certain applications created on Aurora and for Aurora. During the creation of Aurora Hunters, almost all applications from the DeFi sectors were tested, including NFT, Utility, lending, borrowing, staking, crosschain, Dexs, trackers, indexers etc. _The screenshots below are from internal sources, Guild version coming soon, hopefully on Monday._ ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aurora/original/2X/d/d6d365bc5c5b20bcd5f116c16976fe2a00c8b5f2.png) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aurora/original/2X/6/6f5edb46cf3e0102cb0bd5070453e2b7f666e5b8.png) Thus, Aurora Hunters analyzes the performance of projects and their contribution to the development of the ecosystem, highlighting the nuances of work and bugs, the absence or presence of the Aurora main network and it’s token for exchange, lending, staking, farming, interaction with wallets, etc. A lot of work has been done on testing cross-chain applications for the **“declared-realized”** ratio; a decent database has been collected on performance, availability of social media, communications with project developers and presence in information on-chain analytical aggregators, design and UX of all applications of the Aurora ecosystem. _A small example with commentary from internal sources:_ ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aurora/original/2X/e/e7f04c2ce42370c875b0983a8010505f0e97e2f3.jpeg) [https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aurora/original/2X/7/7b3b4bf638f49babcf4e3241e63c2ca4d1e752ab.mp4](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aurora/original/2X/7/7b3b4bf638f49babcf4e3241e63c2ca4d1e752ab.mp4) * * * Under the supervision and clear guidance of hunters, new users are attracted from various countries (France, Germany, Mexico, Vietnam, Africa etc., see “useful links”) Hunters make sure that the created local communities translate the latest ecosystem news into their native languages. Aurora hunters directs maximum efforts to attract developers, hiring ads on specialized [sites](https://laborx.com/jobs/blockchain-bridge-engineer-etc-18675?ref=98876) to search for specialists in various crypto niches. **Audio podcasts** in two languages ​​(Russian, English) are being prepared to disseminate information about the Aurora on web2 channels such as spotify and soundcloud, in addition to Aurora ecosystem news, podcasts contains general news from the crypto world. A demo version of the [podcast](https://t.me/play_on_near/102979) in Russian has been recorded and has received some positive and informative feedback so it will become much better. A demo version of the English version will be released soon. We try to be taller and see more so that Aurora ecosystem projects find their new user. * * * **PS: Also latest update from AH:** This time Aurora Hunters were doing a lot of preparation work (that was not mentioned on the proposal but appeared as a necessary part of our path) in order to provide solid info to the Community about projects on Aurora, marketing opportunities, links and contacts, etc. **Hunters Aurora Posts:** > **[AuroraHunters](https://t.me/HuntersAurora/5)** > > Рады представить вашему вниманию нашу новую гильдию на Aurora — Aurora Eastern Europe Guild и наш чат, посвященный данному проекту > > Aurora является важной частью нашего блокчейна NEAR — это один из самых популярных смарт-контрактов на нем. > > Aurora —... > **[AuroraHunters](https://t.me/HuntersAurora/11)** > > Ежедневный обзор проектов на AURORA : > > Apollo42 — это ваше путешествие в новую галактику цифровых культур и предметов коллекционирования.

An important task is the translation and distribution of ecosystem’s news for regional communities, guild leaders and developers. With this group, we can be sure that regional communities translating news and distribute them in the social space, not only in telegram and twitter, but also in other social networks, e.g. reddit, discord or medium. - First AMA session with 15 different international communities leaders was held. - The new identity marks were also developed for intermediate conclusions after testing the dApps from [**@Tolmindev**](https://forum.aurora.dev/u/tolmindev), find it in the provided **forum links** where are the reports of tested applications. **links:** [[Report] Dzap - A unique DeFi Protocol to Batch Swap Multiple Tokens one Transaction - #2 by johanga](https://forum.aurora.dev/t/report-dzap-a-unique-defi-protocol-to-batch-swap-multiple-tokens-one-transaction/1008/2) [[Report] Arken Finance - #3 by johanga](https://forum.aurora.dev/t/report-arken-finance/902/3) [[Report] Web3 fitness on Aurora, accessible through Gym Wallet - #5 by techdir](https://forum.aurora.dev/t/report-web3-fitness-on-aurora-accessible-through-gym-wallet/858/5) [[REPORT] OpenBiSea NFT marketplace Aurora deploy and integration - #13 by openbisea](https://forum.aurora.dev/t/report-openbisea-nft-marketplace-aurora-deploy-and-integration/563/13) Many thanks for the HUGE work done to @johanga **Feel free to ask questions** ---

The report does not contain the metrics that are specified in the KPIs . There is also no information about the various giveaways or how the grant money was spent. But excellent work done, I hope the next reports will be more detailed. ---

Hi. I would like to see feedback from the teams with whom closed testing took place. It is said that a lot of work has been done, hard work has been done, high indicators. In addition to words, indicators are also needed. The metric of your social networks has not been justified, if you take the Telegram channel, Twitter discord. I don’t understand why you control someone’s work. Each grantee submits reports on the work done, which will be seen by everyone at the forum. Thx 😊 ---

> [@stalking](#): > > I would like to see feedback from the teams with whom closed testing took place thanks for your concern. What feedback from the teams are you talking about? we tested and testing the applications for the presence of the aurora network, the network token and the stable operation of the applications. There were no closed tests, you can also test the applications of the ecosystem and write your suggestions to the teams for improvement, as we do. > [@stalking](#): > > I don’t understand why you control someone’s work. here it is also not clear what is meant, we control only our work and the work of regional communities, and we have established communication with them in this direction ---

please this report is quite confusing, you said you control the work of other Communities? please can you point to where your community was vested with this power to control the work of other regional communities that got grants just like you did? The lack of valuable metrics in this report does not show any of your impact in the ecosystem, Kindly work on effort to generate good reports with actual verifiable metrics while also putting in real effort to work on building your community Finally, unless there is clear evidence that shows that Aurora Core team approved and delegated power to Aurora Hunters to supervise the other communities, it appears that Aurora Hunters have misunderstood its functions and is encroaching on duties that should be ordinarily reserved for Aurora Core Teams. ---

Don’t be confused, Aurora Hunters are working to further advance the Aurora network. **To control is not to dictate. To control in our case means to recommend**. I repeat, we have an established relationship with the leaders of the regional community and we do not indicate them how to work, but we recommend paying attention to the most important news of the ecosystem, which for **various reasons** may not appear in their groups or there will be enough late when the relevance may be lost. I hope you will not be embarrassed that all communities in touch with each other, as we are a large and **friendly** ecosystem. And we have **one goal.** ---

Aurora hunters doesn’t force their thoughts to the other communities instead they suggest things and work in collaboration with the communities. Giving an example of Instagram project, @techdir cross checks the infographics/analytics before making it live so that there is no wrong info published and adds his points. It is not “controlling the work” but helping to make it better. I don’t see any harm in this. ---
