.
2. Updated Grant Request & Budget Breakdown
We are requesting a total of $6,000 in funding, plus $1,500 for token distribution incentives, to support mainnet deployment, continuous development, community engagement, and long-term sustainability.

The budget is structured to ensure a rapid transition to mainnet, an aggressive six-month growth phase, and a long-term goal of making FluxPad self-sustaining through revenue reinvestment.

  • $500 – Finalizing mainnet deployment, including smart contract optimizations and security checks.
  • $2,000 – Ongoing development to implement new features, system scalability, and enhancements based on user feedback.
  • $2,400 – Operational costs for 12 months ($200/month) to maintain server infrastructure, AI agent hosting, and backend services.
  • $1,100 – Community & social media growth, including marketing campaigns, AMAs, partnerships, and influencer collaborations.
  • $1,500 – Token distribution incentives to reward early adopters, governance participants, and ecosystem supporters.

FluxPad will maintain continuous development based on user feedback, evolving needs, and emerging opportunities within the Conflux ecosystem. After the six-month adoption phase, the project will begin self-funding development and marketing, ensuring long-term sustainability.

3. Community & Social Engagement Plan
To ensure robust community involvement and widespread adoption, FluxPad will actively engage users through the following initiatives:

Content, Strategic Partnerships & Social Media Growth:

  • Weekly Twitter threads, AMAs, and influencer collaborations to increase visibility.
  • Telegram & Discord engagement through moderation, Q&A sessions, and community events.
  • Creation of YouTube tutorials and educational walkthroughs for easy user onboarding.
  • Governance & Token Utility:
  • Users will be able to participate in decentralized governance through AI-powered voting mechanisms.
  • $1,500 in token incentives will be distributed to early adopters and active participants to drive engagement.
  • Over time, FluxPad will explore staking incentives and governance token models to further empower its users.
  • Collaboration with Web3 projects within the Conflux ecosystem to onboard new users.
    Engaging NFT and DeFi communities to increase FluxPad’s reach and adoption.

4. Key Performance Metrics (KPIs)
To track the effectiveness of FluxPad’s launch and growth, we have established clear success metrics:

Platform Usage & Growth:

  • Achieve 1,500+ active users within six months.
  • Facilitate the launch of 500+ tokens/NFTs.
  • Reach 15,000+ on-chain transactions by Month 12.
  • Successfully distribute $1,500 in incentives to early adopters and community members.
  • AI Agent Adoption & Smart Contract Interactions:
  • Track active utilization of AI agents for project launches, analytics, and governance voting.
  • Monitor automated on-chain interactions facilitated by AI agents.
  • Increase participation in decentralized governance through AI-driven voting.
  • Social Media & Community Growth:
  • Grow to 10,000+ followers across Twitter, Telegram and Discord.
  • Conduct 50+ AMAs, influencer collaborations, and ecosystem partnerships.
  • Maintain active engagement across Discord and Telegram, with regular updates and interactions.

5. Security & Audits
Prior to mainnet deployment, FluxPad will conduct smart contract reviews and security optimizations to ensure reliability.
The platform will maintain open-source transparency, encouraging community participation in security assessments.
As FluxPad achieves financial sustainability, we plan to invest in a third-party smart contract audit for added security assurance.

6 – Long-Term Roadmap & Self-Sufficiency
FluxPad is designed to become fully self-sustaining within 6-12 months, ensuring long-term development and ecosystem growth without relying on additional grants. To achieve this, FluxPad will implement AI-powered premium services, a fee-sharing model, and community-driven investment initiatives.

AI-Powered Premium Services
As the platform evolves, FluxPad will introduce advanced AI-driven services that cater to projects launching within the ecosystem, offering:

  • Trading Contract Creation with AI: Projects will be able to generate smart trading contracts powered by AI-driven strategies, automating token mechanics, liquidity management, and market-making strategies.
  • KYC & Audit Services: FluxPad will integrate on-chain identity verification and smart contract audits, helping new projects establish trust and compliance within the ecosystem.
  • Project Development & Presale Features: Teams launching on FluxPad will have access to development services (contract development, frontend, backend) and the ability to host presales directly on the platform.
  • Fee-Sharing Model & Community-Driven Investment
  • FluxPad will implement a fee-sharing model, where revenue generated from premium AI services, presale hosting, and audits will be reinvested into platform development and marketing.

Beyond reinvestment in FluxPad’s growth, a community-led investment fund will be established, where a portion of the platform’s revenue will be allocated to fund new projects launching on Conflux. Through on-chain governance voting, the community will decide how these funds are distributed, allowing for decentralized funding of promising new ventures.

Strategic Partnerships & Expansion
To further strengthen the ecosystem, FluxPad will continue forming strategic partnerships with:

Web3 projects within the Conflux ecosystem to attract early adopters.
NFT, DeFi, and AI-driven platforms to expand the range of projects launching on FluxPad.
Influencers and community leaders to drive awareness and increase platform adoption.
By integrating these premium services, reinvesting platform revenue, and enabling community-led funding, FluxPad will not only sustain itself financially but also drive continuous ecosystem expansion.

7. Next Steps & Conclusion
I appreciate the opportunity to refine this proposal based on your insights. With testnet success, hackathon recognition, and a clear sustainability roadmap, I believe this funding will enable FluxPad to onboard thousands of users, launch numerous projects, and drive engagement within the Conflux ecosystem.

I’d love to discuss this further and adjust any details to better align with Conflux’s grant priorities. Looking forward to your feedback!

Hi Mathias,

The proposal shows potential, but two key areas may need more detail:

Milestone 2 metrics - What are your specific targets/details for “number of airdrops” and “user engagement”? (e.g. target number of active users, KYC completions, number of wallet interactions)

and for the marketing plan (€1,400) - Could you provide a breakdown of:

  • budget allocation per channel (social/content/events)
  • growth targets
  • engagement activities

Having these concrete numbers would help the evaluating process.

Thank you for presenting Fluxpad!

Thank you for your feedback and for providing the opportunity to elaborate on the marketing budget and engagement strategy.

Marketing Budget Allocation (€1,400):

Contests/Awards (€1,000):

  • €500 will be dedicated to a user contest that rewards the most active participants across the platform.
  • €500 will go toward an award for the best token or NFT project created on FluxPad.
  • These contests will foster engagement, incentivize activity, and promote innovation, sustaining community involvement over several months.

Social Media and Content Creation (€400):

  • The remaining budget will be used to create designs, social content, and leverage marketing tools across X (Twitter), YouTube, Discord, Telegram, and TikTok.
  • This will help expand our audience and promote the platform effectively across diverse channels.
    Marketing Campaign Duration:

The marketing campaign will span 2-3 months post-mainnet deployment to ensure consistent engagement and adoption during the critical early stages.

Growth and Engagement Targets:

  • Aim for 200 active users and a combined 5,000 followers on social media platforms by the end of the campaign.
  • Onboard 10-20 users during the testnet phase to thoroughly test FluxPad’s token and NFT creation systems.

Post-Mainnet Projections:

  • Expect 1,000 NFTs and 100 tokens to be created within the first three months, generating fees to reinvest into the project for marketing, feature development, and scaling efforts.

Engagement Activities:

  • The user contest and project awards will incentivize activity and innovation.
  • The testnet participants will provide critical feedback on platform usability and functionality, ensuring FluxPad is aligned with user needs before the mainnet launch.
  • These efforts will allow us to build a strong community, onboard active users, and ensure a successful launch that aligns with Conflux’s ecosystem goals.

Please let me know if there are any other details I can provide.

Best regards,
Mathias

Hey Mathias,

Thanks for your Fluxpad proposals. There are a few points in the current proposal that I think should be reconsidered:

  • Typically the Foundation’s preference is not to allocate funds for testnet deployments. We encourage projects to focus on mainnet deployment as part of their initial milestone.
  • We also tend to prioritize directing the majority of grant allocations towards activities that drive direct growth (i.e.: incentives, marketing, campaigns, community growth) or building, rather than adaptation.
  • Include a detailed list of growth milestones with a separate clear budget breakdown. For each milestone, provide a specific budget linked to its KPIs, where KPIs are the conditions at which the funds are released. Focus on when the funds will be released, and separately outline a budget breakdown, how the grant is going to be used. (Note: The Foundation releases funds only after milestone and KPI completion.) This will aid in tracking progress and clarifying grant requirements.
  • Include targeted KPIs for each milestone and the expected outcomes, covering both performance-based metrics (e.g., number of token launches, TVL, unique wallet addresses, transaction numbers, partner integrations, etc) and user growth KPIs (e.g., social metrics such as: X followers, Telegram users, AMAs and user campaigns, etc).
  • Are you planning on an audit?
  • Can you expand on the long-term plans with the project? How you looking forward to grow?

Thank you for your earlier responses. Please remember to keep the main body of your proposal updated with your latest changes and developments. This ensures that your proposal remains transparent and easy to follow for everyone involved.
