Summary: This proposal requests $575k worth of NTRN from the Neutron DAO to fund a six-month pilot of the Neutron Creator Program. The program is designed to accelerate Neutron’s ecosystem growth by incentivizing and supporting creators who educate the community, drive awareness, onboard users, and contribute to business development. Creators will be ranked in tiers with structured rewards and performance evaluations to ensure effectiveness. If successful, the program will establish a scalable and sustainable community engagement model to further Neutron’s mission of enabling fair and efficient finance for everyone.
