Here\u2019s how the project supports the ecosystem:\n\n### 1. **Educating DeSci Asia Members About Octant**\nDeSci Asia actively educates its community members about the importance of Octant and how it functions as a decentralized platform for funding and governance of public goods. This education is delivered through various channels, including:\n   - **Workshops and Webinars**: Organizing regular educational sessions to explain Octant\u2019s role in supporting decentralized research, innovation, and public goods. These sessions cover the basics of Octant\u2019s decentralized governance model, its mission, and how it empowers communities to influence decisions that drive scientific advancement.\n   - **Scientific Meetings**: DeSci Asia integrates Octant into its monthly scientific meetings, using these events to discuss its unique features, such as staking and voting for public goods projects, and explaining how the platform aligns with DeSci values like transparency, inclusivity, and decentralization.\n\n### 2. **Introducing Octant to Other DeSci Communities in Asia**\nDeSci Asia serves as a bridge to introduce the Octant ecosystem to various decentralized science communities across Asia, helping expand its user base and reach. This is achieved through:\n   - **Networking and Partnerships**: DeSci Asia connects Octant with emerging DeSci communities in cities like Seoul, Tokyo, Kolkata, Chennai, and beyond. Through introductions at regional meetups and conferences, we highlight Octant as a powerful tool for democratizing science funding and governance.\n\n\n### 3. **Educating DeSci Asia Members on Staking GLM and Voting for Public Goods in Octant**\nDeSci Asia empowers its members to actively participate in the Octant ecosystem by educating them on how to stake GLM (Golem Network Token) and vote on public goods projects. We do this by:\n   - **Step-by-Step Guides**: Providing detailed guides and tutorials that walk members through the process of acquiring GLM, staking it in Octant, and understanding how their votes contribute to the funding and support of public goods.\n\n   - **Incentives and Rewards**: Offering incentives for participation from direct donation and matching fund in this round, such as recognition in the community or potential rewards from DeSci Asia\u2019s partner projects, to encourage more members to stake their GLM and vote consistently in the Octant ecosystem.\n\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Please describe how your project contributes to the growth and development of the Octant ecosystem.", "questionId": 6}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "\nThrough education, community engagement, and active participation in the governance processes of Octant, DeSci Asia helps to expand the reach and impact of the Octant ecosystem across Asia.

This includes providing guidance on staking GLM tokens and voting for public goods on the Octant platform.\n\n2. **Bridging Regional DeSci Communities:**\n   DeSci Asia\u2019s extensive network across Asian countries allows it to introduce Octant to previously untapped regions. Through workshops, events, and partnerships, we create touchpoints where Asian DeSci communities can integrate with and support the Octant ecosystem.\n\n3. **Collaboration Over Competition:**\n   DeSci Asia fosters collaboration within the DeSci ecosystem, including Octant, by promoting interoperability and shared values. Instead of competing for resources or attention, we build bridges between the communities, enhancing Octant\u2019s mission to fund public goods and decentralized science through a broader global reach.\n\n4. **Sustainability and Long-Term Vision:**\n   DeSci Asia works to build sustainable, decentralized scientific communities across Asia, aligning with Octant's goal of creating public goods.
