This proposal is to make a small nimble team responsible for Realms World ecosystem tasks. The structure is lean in design to allow for straight forward execution of a strict set of tasks, ecosystem tasks are split out below into responsibilities and will be distributed between the three members as with the funding remit. The remit does not include costs associated with in-person events.

This prop is intended to be “part time” work for each member hence this prop intentionally avoids any unrequired complexity to not inflate required tasks.

Working Group

The proposed group includes Lords Calc, Nate, and Squiddy — all long-standing contributors with complementary skill sets. Calc has led all Realms grant programs, managed DAO finances, and organized every Realms IRL event. Nate founded FOCGERS Media to spotlight Realms and the broader FOCG space, building bridges to KOLs and communities. Squiddy handles the core ops: multisigs, process upkeep, and helps upkeep the DAO’s behind-the-scenes infrastructure. They bring executional consistency across comms, operations, funding, and visibility.

Execution

The RealmsDAO L2 wallet will immediately sell 43,800 dollars of EKUBO & ETH for USDC.

• 50% will be sold Realms L2 wallet. ETH tokens only.
• 50% will be sold Realms L2 wallet. Ekubo tokens only. The ecosystem team will be able to claim up to 43,800 USDC at a 1:1 rate within the term. The allocation of this amount is up to the ecosystem team to allocate up until the term end. The initial term is set as 6 months therefore the full cost is up to 43,800 USD. This would be taken from the development account.
