Web3 Initiative: Exploring the Future: Web3, Blockchain, and DeFi by HIMA-BD
*Himpunan Mahasiswa Bisnis Digital Institut Bisnis dan Teknologi Indonesia (HIMA-BD) is an organization made up of INSTIKI students who focus on the field of digital business. The organization aims to deepen its members’ knowledge and skills in the world of digital business, and help them become future leaders and innovators in this field. With HIMA-BD’s involvement, we aim to leverage their expertise in digital business to enhance the effectiveness of our educational initiatives.
Indonesia (273,8 million population) ranks 7th overall in the global cryptocurrency adoption index for 2023, indicating significant interest and potential in adopting blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies. Our proposal seeks support from dForce to advance our mission of increasing awareness and understanding of Web3, blockchain, and DeFi in Indonesia through educational initiatives and community engagement. We aim to address key challenges, including limited learning resources in Indonesian, lack of awareness, and language barriers in DeFi content. Our educational initiatives involve workshops and webinars, customized for local audiences, aiming to empower both tech and non-tech enthusiasts. Community engagement, partnerships with local community, and the translation of educational materials into Indonesian will enhance accessibility.
We set measurable goals for participant numbers, social media reach, and post-event surveys to gauge knowledge enhancement. The initiative aligns with the growing economic interest in cryptocurrencies in Indonesia, presenting a timely opportunity for development. We propose a budget that covers venue, speakers, marketing, and material costs. Recognition and promotion of dForce during the event will be ensured, fostering a mutually beneficial partnership. The proposal outlines a sustainable approach with plans for continued engagement beyond the event, contributing to dForce’s broader mission and values. Testimonials and endorsements further attest to the potential positive impact of our initiative. We believe this collaboration will significantly contribute to the growth of the dForce & Web3 ecosystem in Indonesia.
