Hey Pallavi, good to have you here.

Your ask is above the March budget which is 7500. You will need to adjust it before anything else can happen.

How do you measure this? Can it be independently verified?

You only mention Algorand with an actual link. Where can this claims be verified?

Hi @Netrim,

Thank you for your reply.

As per your suggestions, we have revised the ask and deliverables.

We will put tracking links to measure the performances. We will achieve this combined reach & impressions within 3 months & these can be verified, we will be sharing the monthly reports as well for that of the campaign performance.

platform to even begin researching it.
