Requested Amount

Requested from the Community Pool: 100,000 USDT

Event

Event: TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026
Dates: 7–8 October 2026
Venue: Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

TOKEN2049 Singapore is one of the largest and most important crypto and Web3 events globally. It brings together founders, investors, developers, infrastructure providers, exchanges, institutions, media, and other decision-makers from across the industry.

For Gonka, this event is strategically relevant because the network is positioned at the intersection of decentralized infrastructure, AI compute, GPU supply, developer access, and crypto-native coordination.

Sponsorship Package

6Block has received an offer from TOKEN2049 for the Gold Sponsor package.

The package price is:

59,900 USD

The package includes:

• 15-minute speaking slot at the main conference.
• Speaker featured on the TOKEN2049 website.
• 1 Speaker Reception invite.
• 1 AFTER 2049 table for 10 guests at the official TOKEN2049 closing party.
• Branding on table placements and venue signage.
• Mentions in marketing campaigns and across social channels.
• Announced as Gold Sponsor on the TOKEN2049 website.
• Gonka logo displayed on signage across the party venue.
• 10 event tickets that can be allocated to guests or team and community members.

The company name on marketing materials will be Gonka.

Why TOKEN2049 Matters for Gonka

Gonka is building decentralized infrastructure for AI compute. To grow, the network needs more than technical progress: it needs stronger relationships with infrastructure providers, developers, exchanges, market participants, media, and potential ecosystem partners.

TOKEN2049 is a relevant venue for this because it concentrates many of the people and companies Gonka needs to reach in one place.

For Gonka, the event can support several goals:

1. Visibility in the global crypto market
   TOKEN2049 is one of the most visible crypto events of the year. A formal sponsorship gives Gonka a recognized presence rather than informal attendance.
2. Access to Asian market participants
   Asia is one of the most important regions for crypto liquidity, exchange activity, infrastructure providers, and mining-related networks. Gonka needs stronger visibility and relationships in this market.
3. Developer and infrastructure outreach
   Gonka needs to reach developers, GPU providers, infrastructure companies, validators, miners, and ecosystem operators who may become users, partners, or participants in the network.
4. Main conference speaking opportunity
   The Gold Sponsor package includes a 15-minute speaking slot at the main conference. This gives Gonka an opportunity to explain its core narrative directly: decentralized AI compute, verifiable inference, GPU supply, and open access to AI infrastructure.
5. Business-development and partner meetings
   TOKEN2049 is not only a conference. The wider event week creates many opportunities for meetings with exchanges, infrastructure companies, investors, media, and other potential partners.
6. Guest hosting and relationship building
   The AFTER 2049 table and event tickets can be used to host important partners, infrastructure participants, media contacts, and ecosystem stakeholders.

Why 6Block Is Proposing This

6Block is a long-term participant in the Gonka ecosystem and has been involved in previous regional growth efforts.

6Block is proposing this because it believes Gonka should be visible at major crypto and infrastructure events, especially in Asia. TOKEN2049 Singapore is one of the strongest opportunities this year to position Gonka in front of the right audience.

6Block will coordinate the sponsorship process and related logistics, including communication with TOKEN2049, payment execution, and event-side coordination.

Use of Funds

The requested 100,000 USDT will be used for sponsorship and logistics connected to Gonka’s participation at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026.

Expected high-level budget structure:

1. TOKEN2049 Gold Sponsor package — 59,900 USD

This is the core sponsorship package offered by TOKEN2049.

It includes the main conference speaking slot, Gold Sponsor status, sponsor visibility, marketing and social mentions, event tickets, Speaker Reception access, and AFTER 2049 table.

2. Team travel and accommodation — approximately 20,000–25,000 USDT

This includes flights, hotels, local transport, and related logistics for the team members required to represent Gonka at the event.

The event takes place in Singapore, and the team may need to arrive before the conference for setup, partner meetings, preparation, and recovery after long-distance travel.

3. Event operations, guest hosting, materials, and contingency — approximately 15,000–20,000 USDT

This includes operational expenses such as:

• local coordination;
• meeting support;
• partner and guest hosting;
• printed or digital materials;
• design and content support;
• event-related production;
• transportation during the event week;
• contingency for last-minute event costs.

The exact allocation may vary depending on final travel costs, team size, vendor costs, guest allocation, and operational needs. The purpose of this budget is to ensure Gonka can use the sponsorship effectively, not merely appear on the sponsor list.

Payment and Administration

If this proposal is approved, 100,000 USDT will be transferred from the Gonka Community Pool to 6Block or to the legal entity designated by 6Block for the purpose of executing the TOKEN2049 sponsorship and related logistics.

The funds will be used only for costs directly related to Gonka’s participation at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026. Any unused remainder should either be returned to the Community Pool or reported to the community with an explanation of its status.

Expected Outcomes

If approved and executed properly, the expected outcomes are:

• Gonka appears as a Gold Sponsor at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026.
• Gonka receives a 15-minute speaking slot at the main conference.
• Gonka receives sponsor visibility across TOKEN2049 materials and event signage.
• Gonka gains access to event tickets and guest-hosting opportunities.
• Gonka uses the event for business-development meetings with infrastructure providers, exchanges, investors, media, and ecosystem partners.
• Gonka strengthens its visibility in Asia and the broader global crypto market.
• Gonka improves its positioning as a decentralized AI compute network in front of a high-value crypto-native audience.

Reporting

After TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026, 6Block will provide a post-event report to the Gonka community. The report should include:

1. What was executed.
2. How the sponsorship benefits were used.
3. High-level use of the approved budget.
4. Meetings, media activities, partner conversations, and other relevant outcomes.
5. Follow-up actions after the event.
6. Whether any funds remain from the 100,000 USDT allocation.

A YES vote approves the allocation of 100,000 USDT from the Gonka Community Pool to support Gonka’s participation at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 through 6Block, including the Gold Sponsor package and related logistics.
