Our primary mission is to educate the Brazilian crypto audience by offering consistent, accessible content in Portuguese through daily podcasts, articles, and newsletters. We aim to simplify complex topics such as blockchain, DeFi, and governance, making it easier for users to understand and engage with the ecosystem.\\n\\nBeyond content creation, we strengthen community ties by hosting free events throughout Brazil, creating spaces for local developers, enthusiasts, and projects to connect and collaborate.

This includes podcasts, newsletter, articles, interviews, and deep dives into blockchain and DeFi topics. Our commitment to long-term impact and growth is demonstrated by our continued effort to educate and engage the Brazilian crypto community.\\n\\nLooking ahead, we plan to maintain our weekly schedule of daily Twitter Spaces, YouTube live sessions, and regular newsletter/articles updates, ensuring that our audience remains informed and connected. In addition to content production, we’re actively working on a robust events calendar. We have an event scheduled for October 2024 and are organizing a large-scale crypto event for February 2025.\\n\\nOur goal for Modular Crypto is to play a pivotal role in the education and growth of the Brazilian crypto ecosystem.

Many current Web3 educational resources are available primarily in English, limiting access to non-English speaking communities, especially in Brazil. By focusing on producing educational materials, podcasts, articles, and community events in Portuguese, we bring valuable and localized content to a largely underserved demographic.\\n\\nRather than competing with existing projects, we aim to amplify the public goods ecosystem by broadening its reach and fostering deeper engagement with the Portuguese-speaking audience. Our efforts will introduce more users to the ecosystem, bridge language barriers, and drive adoption, ensuring that the ecosystem resonate with a wider and more diverse community.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Describe your approach to community engagement and how you plan to contribute to a collaborative and constructive funding environment.\",\"explanation\":\"Our approach to community engagement goes beyond producing educational content. We are focused on creating opportunities for the Brazilian community within the global Web3 ecosystem.

By bridging the gap between Brazil and the broader ecosystem, we are not only helping our community but also enabling other projects to grow in a more collaborative and inclusive environment.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"How do you plan to use the funding to maximize your project's ongoing impact within the Octant ecosystem if selected?\",\"explanation\":\"If selected for funding, our primary focus will be to continue producing high-quality, free content in Portuguese, ensuring that the Brazilian community has ongoing access to education and resources within the Web3 ecosystem.

Ensuring that our team remains supported is essential for maintaining the level of quality and consistency that our audience has come to expect.\\n\\nAdditionally, we plan to reintroduce and highlight Octant in our content, just as we have done in the past through our livestreams and other platforms.
