Find yourself in one of the stories below?

☠️ You know, the crypto world is a wild ride, right? First, there’s that dreaded FOMO. We’ve all been there, watching everyone dive into the next big coin while we sit on the sidelines, and then, boom, the price skyrockets, and we’re left kicking ourselves. 

> Damn it. Then you learn to fix this in your future. But…

😱 Another day in the future, one minute you’re on top of the world, everything’s green, and life’s good. But you refresh the page, and suddenly it’s all red, like a horror movie you didn’t sign up for. 

> Now like: life is just a joke…

🫡 Hmm I think you should hold ADA because I believe that one day it will hit $10. 

Even if right now, we’re sitting at like $0.30 or $0.40… But hey, that’s the reason why we should start 🫡

> Soon, guys! Soon! 

🥳 Will it help you have no regrets? Because if you don’t, you will regret the things you didn’t hold or sold too soon. But hey, we’re all in this crazy Cardano boat together, riding the waves and waiting for that dream landing.

"You’re not alone"

Those FOMO moments, the price rollercoasters, and the regret of selling too soon—we all feel it. But guess what? It’s not just you or me. A whole bunch of people out there are going through the same thing, waiting for something to make the crazy crypto ride a little more bearable.

• Crypto Enthusiasts and Investors: They’re glued to the screen, tracking prices every second, feeling the high of a $1 increase and the crash of a $0.50 drop.
• Meme Lovers and Social Media Dramatists: Always ready to jump into the latest meme war, they love the gossip and thrive on debates that make the crypto world feel like a reality show.
• Casual Crypto Followers: These folks are trying to stay in the game, but between the confusion of jargon like “staking” and “gas fees,” they’re just looking for something simple and fun to follow.
• Younger Audiences (Gen Z & Millennials): With short attention spans, they want content that’s fast, fun, and relatable, something that makes them laugh in 30 seconds or less.
• Crypto Comparers (Platform Debaters): They’re fiercely loyal to their chosen platform and love to argue why their favorite coin is the best, turning even the smallest difference into a dramatic showdown.

That’s where we come in and they are who we will go to heal with our channel, Crypto Overdose.

"We’re here to turn the pains of crypto into fun, laugh-out-loud moments that make this rollercoaster ride a little easier to handle."

Our video will help to heal you and them (and me)

At its core, Crypto Overdose is all about creating:

• Short, viral videos—bite-sized content that’s fun, relatable, and easy to consume.
• These videos are designed to grab attention, make people laugh, and connect with the crypto community on a personal level. 
• Each video will be 20-59 seconds long, perfect for catching trends and tapping into the humor, drama, and memes that people love. 
• We’ll release these videos regularly on our channel and spread them across multiple crypto-related platforms to reach a wide audience.

How it Heal our pain?

Our videos are crafted to ease the pain points that every crypto enthusiast goes through:

• For those feeling the stress of price tracking and FOMO, we’ll create exaggerated, funny scenarios that make people laugh about the emotional rollercoaster they’re on.
• For the meme lovers and those who thrive on drama, we’ll bring the heat with fun, gossip-filled content that turns debates and price comparisons into entertainment.
• For the casual followers, who are confused by technical terms and market shifts, we’ll keep things light and simple, making it easy for them to engage without feeling overwhelmed.

> Our goal is to turn the stress, confusion, and regrets of the crypto world into laugh-out-loud moments that make the whole journey more fun and bearable.

Some sample ideas that we will plan to make the video

• Two passionate platform loyalists argue over trivial details like logo design or community size, treating it like a court trial, but with exaggerated, comical arguments.
• An investor obsessively refreshes their app every second, waiting for the price to rise followed a news. The screen freezes, and in a panic, they call their friend only to find out that nothing changed.
• Two characters representing rival coins get into a heated meme debate, throwing ridiculous insults about gas fees and transaction times, with bystanders (the audience) reacting like it’s a reality TV show.

But those are just ideas, get into our channel to see more examples that we had already done >>here<<

Why fund for us?

The core strength of Crypto Overdose lies in its ability to engage the broader crypto audience by turning the pain points of crypto into highly relatable, funny content. By tapping into viral trends and memes, we offer a fresh, entertaining way for people to engage with the crypto space. Our short, punchy videos will naturally draw in viewers, boosting social engagement through likes, shares, comments, and discussions across multiple platforms. Our advantages are clear:

• Viral Appeal: Short videos that follow hot trends and relatable crypto struggles have high potential to go viral. By focusing on timely and shareable content, we’ll leverage platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to generate organic growth. We will measure impact through:
• View counts and share metrics across social platforms through a periods of time: that can help us know the speed of viral. 
• Tracking engagement rates like likes, comments, and reshares to monitor video virality.
• Constant Interaction: The humor, drama, and shareability of the content ensure that our audience will keep coming back, driving ongoing engagement and building a loyal following. To prove this impact:
• We will track the average retention rate on each video to see how long viewers stay engaged.
• Analyze the return rates of viewers by tracking repeat engagements, such as how often the same users interact with our content.
• This is just for some special case and purpose. 
• Use community feedback through comments, surveys, and direct engagement to assess how well the content resonates and continues to entertain.
• Wider Audience Reach: Our content appeals to a diverse set of crypto enthusiasts—from meme lovers to casual followers—ensuring that we capture a wide range of viewers. To measure this, we will:
• Track audience demographics and growth analytics in these platform reports to see how our content reaches various segments of the crypto community.
• Use social media metrics to measure reach and impressions, evaluating how many new users are engaging with our videos.
• Measure the growth of followers and subscribers across platforms to show the increasing popularity and appeal of our channel.
• Influencer Magnet: By positioning ourselves in the space of lighthearted drama and memes, we can easily collaborate with influencers or crypto figures, further extending our reach and credibility in the crypto community. To validate this:
• Track the number of influencer collaborations and how their involvement helps boost engagement metrics.
• Measure the audience crossover from influencer partnerships, observing how their followers engage with our channel.
• Analyze the engagement boost after influencer collaborations, looking for spikes in views, likes, and social media activity following such partnerships.

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Using the social engagement success of our viral videos, we can indirectly boost the presence of Cardano within the broader crypto community. Our platform may not be specifically focused on Cardano, but videos in the playlist of this proposal will integrate fun content around ADA, Cardano events, or comparing Cardano with other platforms, we create a pathway for viewers to engage with Cardano in an informal, entertaining way.

So this will benefit Cardano:

• Wider Awareness: By featuring Cardano content in a viral, shareable format, more people outside of the direct Cardano community will be exposed to the platform, even if they’re primarily focused on other cryptos. Even they hate Cardano! We can measure through:
• View counts, shares, and reach of videos that specifically feature Cardano-related content. 
• Monitoring search trends and mentions of Cardano on social media platforms following the release of these videos 
• Reducing Misinformation: Our light-hearted videos can help address common misconceptions about Cardano. Instead of technical corrections, we can use humor to correct false narratives—reaching audiences who may not engage with more serious content. We can measure this impact through
• Community feedback and comments on our videos
• Survey
• Number of reshares or reposts of our videos
• Strengthening Community Bonds: By creating relatable content centered around ADA or Cardano events, we help strengthen the bond between existing community members, giving them fun, meme-able content they can share and enjoy within their circles. This can be measured through: 
• Analyzing how often videos centered around ADA are shared in Cardano-specific forums, Telegram groups, and Reddit threads
• Monitoring how often Cardano-related content is reshared or reposted by the community itself
• Newcomer Attraction: The lighter, more casual approach to crypto through our videos makes the Cardano ecosystem feel less intimidating, potentially attracting newcomers who might have previously been overwhelmed by technical jargon or complex educational content. This can measure through
• Number of new followers from outside through survey, demographic data in social platform
• Track comments from new users who mention learning about or becoming interested in Cardano through our content

Sharing Our Outputs and Analytics:

We will regularly share the results of our social engagement and impact through various channels to ensure transparency and keep the community informed:

1. Weekly Updates: We will provide weekly reports in our community forums (e.g., Discord, Telegram) summarizing key metrics such as view counts, shares, engagement rates, and any notable feedback or comments from viewers. 
2. Monthly Impact Reports: A more detailed monthly report will be published, showcasing deeper analytics like audience demographics, influencer collaborations, and the overall reach of Cardano-related content. This report will be shared within the community event for inspire other project to collaborate with us for bigger things. 
3. Community Engagement: We will actively share milestones (like viral video performance or high influencer engagement) directly within Cardano community channels to encourage further involvement and feedback from Cardano enthusiasts.
4. Transparent Dashboard: We’ll create an open dashboard for the community to access, where key performance metrics like social reach, growth of followers, and engagement on Cardano-focused videos can be viewed in real-time. But this is for further future plan.

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

With a budget of 95,175 ADA for 108 videos over 9 months, we anticipate generating a reach more than half million from wider audiences across multiple platforms. This strategy aims to make Cardano’s presence more widespread, creating a friendly ecosystem that entices curiosity and participation.

Young, Proactive, Trend-Focused Team

Our team is comprised of young, proactive individuals dedicated to staying current with daily trends, enabling us to create timely and relevant video content. By staying on top of what’s trending, we ensure our content aligns with the ever-evolving interests of the broader crypto community, maximizing impact and relevance.

Long-Term Impact for the Ecosystem

By creating fun, engaging videos that connect with a broad audience, we’re not just marketing Cardano; we’re creating a sustainable way for Cardano to stay relevant in viral marketing trends. This will lead to increased adoption, higher engagement, and a stronger, more visible community—all for a relatively low investment.

Cost Efficiency Through Experience

Our team has extensive experience creating media content, and we’ve refined our production process to be as cost-effective as possible. We’ve already produced similar short-form videos, which gives us the advantage of knowing the exact tools, resources, and timelines needed to deliver quality content without excess waste. This means we can deliver impactful videos for a fraction of what others might charge.

Leveraging Existing Resources

We have access to in-house tools, design workflows, and creative assets that have been developed over years. These resources drastically reduce the overhead and production costs typically associated with video content creation. Additionally, by tapping into our existing team and partners who are already familiar with the crypto space, we can scale production faster and at a lower cost compared to external hires.

Proportional to Industry Standards

The costs outlined for this project are lower the average rates in the content creation and crypto marketing industries. We’ve benchmarked our costs against standard freelance rates for video production, design, and marketing. This ensures that while we aim to deliver high-quality content, we do so without exceeding typical market costs.

Optimized for Idea Generation and Marketing

Our focus on cost optimization allows us to channel more resources into generating innovative ideas and developing highly effective marketing strategies. We focus our budget on producing content that not only grabs attention but also converts casual viewers into engaged participants within the Cardano ecosystem.

Proven Video Effectiveness

We gauge video effectiveness primarily through view count, which signifies alignment with viewers’ preferences. Once our production targets are met, we proactively market the content to drive association with the Cardano brand and amplify its impact in the crypto community.
