TLDR;

This proposal requests Purple DAO sponsorship for the Onchain Creator House, a one-day creator hackathon in New York City that brings together Farcaster-aligned creators to compete in creative challenges across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram Reels, and onchain media platforms. Sponsorship funds will reward winning submissions, feature Purple DAO representation at the event, and strengthen Purple's presence in the broader Farcaster and onchain creator ecosystem.

Overview

Onchain Creator House is a one-day event that activates creators in person and online through a series of creative challenges. Participants will respond to prompts by producing original content in the form of illustrations, written and video content published on platforms such as TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and onchain publishing tools like Zora, Paragraph and Pods.

This event is designed to onboard new creators into the onchain ecosystem, introduce them to Farcaster, and reward standout work with up to $10,000 in prizes across sponsored tracks.

How Purple DAO benefits

Purple DAO's sponsorship will help reward creative submissions that align with Farcaster’s culture and values. In return:

• Purple will receive a sponsored challenge category judged by our panel.
• Creators in the Purple community will be invited to represent the DAO by participating in the hackathon and submitting content.
• Winning submissions will be shared across social media and Farcaster, with proper attribution to Purple DAO as a sponsor.
• Content created in the Purple challenge will be available to Purple DAO as media assets for use in community updates, social posts, and broader ecosystem storytelling.
• Purple will be recognized during the opening kickoff and closing ceremony.

We're especially excited about this partnership because Farcaster is also supporting the event with a sponsored challenge of their own. Purple’s involvement ensures visibility alongside core ecosystem collaborators.

Use of Funds

We are requesting 1500 USDC from Purple DAO which will go toward:

• Creator prize pool for Purple-sponsored challenges
• Organizer, mentor, and judge compensation
• Event production and logistics
• Design and content amplification support

Why Now

As onchain social grows, creators are looking for meaningful ways to participate in and shape these new networks. The Onchain Creator House is a bridge between online culture and onchain opportunity, and Purple DAO has the perfect community to lead in this moment.
