My work directly supported the selected area through several key strategies:

1. **Network Effects:**
   - Increased Project Awareness: The series of articles provided detailed information about Gitcoin, how to donate, and how to participate in grants. This educational content not only attracted over 100 email opens for each article but also led to a high click-through rate (CTR) and more than 100 web views. This increased awareness contributed to the network effects by bringing new projects into the Gitcoin ecosystem.

   - Community Sharing: The Latin American Web3 community actively shared the articles, particularly the one on how to donate on Gitcoin. This sharing behavior created a ripple effect, reaching various regional communities and encouraging individuals to create their Gitcoin passports. This community-driven dissemination further strengthened the network effects, fostering collaboration and participation.

   - Twitter Spaces: The conducted Twitter Spaces, which brought together 470 individuals, amplified the network effects by providing a platform to discuss participating projects, facilitate registrations, and guide individuals in creating Gitcoin passports. This real-time engagement helped connect people within the Gitcoin ecosystem, fostering collaboration and shared experiences.

2. **Community First:**
   - Empowering Latin American Community: The content and initiatives were designed to empower the Latin American Web3 community. By providing easily understandable information on Gitcoin and Web3 technologies, the initiative aimed to enable individuals to actively participate in the ecosystem. The creation of Gitcoin passports and the subsequent donations to favorite projects emphasized the community-first approach, encouraging personal involvement and support.

   - Twitter Spaces Engagement: The Twitter Spaces events created an interactive platform for the community to actively engage with the Gitcoin ecosystem. Participants were encouraged to ask questions, share insights, and connect with one another. This approach prioritized community interaction, fostering a sense of belonging and collective participation.

3. **EC - People: Deepen Engagement and Grow Participation:**
   - Article Series Engagement: The articles achieved a high level of engagement, with over 100 email opens for each piece. This indicates a deepened interest and understanding among the audience, contributing to the growth of participation in Gitcoin's ecosystem.

   - Twitter Threads: The threads about Gitcoin and Meta Pool rounds resulted in 900 views, showcasing the interest and engagement of people in the information shared. This deepened engagement aligns with the goal of growing participation in Gitcoin's ecosystem by informing and involving a wider audience.

In summary, my work directly supported the selected areas by actively contributing to network effects, prioritizing a community-first approach, and deepening engagement to grow participation within Gitcoin's ecosystem.
